An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The Kansas City Times: Portions
Of the country are likely to run into
a severe and wholly unnecessary
-four shortage unless congress gets
speedy action on the Food Control
Bill. Uncertainty over the future
has prevented millers from making
their customary arrangements to
take care sof the trade. They have
no way of gauging future prices of
wheat, and they are forced to a
hand to- mouth policy.
The result is that reserves are be-
ing depleted to a point where a car
shortage in the next few weeks
might cut off flour supplies from
many communities. There is not the
slightest necessity for this condition,
and it could be avoided If congress
would act on the food bill without
further delay.
Then millers and grain dealers
could adjust themselves to the stu
alton and prepare for future needs.
At present they can't do this, and
the future -four supply will be jeop-
ardized just so long as congress per-
mits. the existing uncertainty to con-
tinue.
The delay is a serious matter to
farmers, also. The uncertainty of
the situation makes 1t necessary for
every handler of wheat to allow a
wider margin to cover risks and the
result is that farmers will get
smaller part of what the consumer
pays for -four.
Haste is necessary, by congress
and by the authorities at Washing
ton who are undertaking to control
the distribution of wheat, to- relieve
the present uncertainty.

with the custody of the records OF
war prisoners, and through which in
formation concerning the prisoners
will be transmitted to the enemy's
government and to the National Red
Cross society. This bureau is also
charged with the forwarding of mail
money orders, and packages sent
from the prisoners home country for
delivery to individual prisoners; and
8. A bureau of repatriation,
charged with the final restoration of
prisoners to their home country at
the conclusion of hostilities.
The places of detention are known
as war prison barracks and at pres
ent three such barracks have been
established, located at Fort McPher-
son, Ga, Fort Oglethorpe, Ca, and
Fort Douglas, Utah. Each barracks
is commanded by a colonel of the
regular army, assisted by a staff of
officers similar to that Of command
ing officer of an army post or camp.
The general regulations under
which war prisoners are held were
made the subject of special article
of the fourth Hague convention. In
addition to this, the United States Is
bound by certain provisions of the
Geneva convention.
Officers who may be made prison
ers are allowed, under the provisions
OF the Hague convention, the pay of
officers of the corresponding grade
in the army of the captors' govern
ment, and such is the present prac-
tice in the United States.
The enlisted men who are made
prisoners are given the same medical
pay, clothing, and quarters
as are allowed United States soldiers.

PRESCRIBES
new COURSE
Macdonald Has Change
Which is Radical Depar-
ture From Old Type

State Superintendent of Instruc-
ton n. c. Macdonald has prepared
and prescribed a course Of study for
the common schools of the state
which Is a radical departure from the
old type OF course of study.
Under the new system the super
intendent hopes to eliminate all USE
less and antiquated material and
the useful and modern work is SUBJ
stituted. In the matter of content,
model daily program is given for
one-room rural schools and an out
line by grades.
In the course of study proper. the
material for each of the eightt grades,
is outlined for each subject, using
the grade as the unit. This, accord
ing to the superintendent, will elm
mate monthly divisions and gives
better opportunity for teachers and
superintendent to follow the course.
The new course contains only so
pages against 800 for the old course.
This has been done by naming the
minimum essentials in each and
every subject for each and every
grade and eliminating detailed text
books and detailed instructions.
Printed in its present form the
new program will save hundreds Of
dollars in printing to the state, and
In eliminating the use of needless
state wide printed monthly questions
1t will save hundreds of dollars for
the counties and will at the same
time give a course of study which
will serve the present school inter-
ests in much better shape than the
one now in use

GERMANYs MIRROR.

The growing seriousness of the
financial situation in Germany was
shown by the announcement a few
days ago, that the German Reichs-
bank had exported a large shipment
of gold TO Amsterdam to bolster up
the value of the mark.
Germany has nothing left to ex-
port but gold, and she needs every
ounce of that she now has. The pay
ment of government notes in gold is
no longer necessary, but the law re-
quires that the gold reserve be equal
to one-third of the note issue.
So pronounced has been the de-
cline of the value of the German
mark abroad, that the German buy
err, who before the war paid 100
marks for certain goods, now pays
$50 marks for the same goods ire
spective of any rise in the price of
the goods that may have taken
place.
Everything possible to bolster up
the value Of the mark in Germany
itself, has been done, but the ex-
change market in the nearest neutral
port tells the story of the decline in
Germany's fortunes.

not feet of 100 or 200 airplanes do
to zeebrugge? What would 1000
'airplanes of the latest type, each
carrying tons of explosives, do to
these North Sea ports?
The reason why such an attack
has not been made, probably is the
fact that the men and the machines
have not been available. England
and France have been straining ev-
cry nerve to acquire control of the
air and maintain it. 1t was neces-
sary to the success of the armies and
to the holding of the present lines.
Here is where Americas great new
fleet of airships should deliver the
telling blow of the war. A fleet of
several hundred airplanes concen-
trating their attack on the North
Sea ports of Germany. would strike
a more telling blow at the submarine
than all the torpedo boat destroyers
and the new merchant fleet. And
with the submarine bases destroyed,
the next blow could be at the am
factories-the very heart of
German power.
Half a dozen airplanes dropping
bombs on any mark from a great
height, are like firing at duck with
4 rifle. Increase the fleet to a thous-
and and you have the effect of a
shotgun. Some hits are inevitable.

OBLIGlNG CAPTAIN SAVES
CELEBRATION AT TAYLOR
Permits Soldiers to Return to Home
City That Citizens Might Have
Their Band Members.

Taylor, N. D.. July 6.-Taylor was
in the dumps when the Fourth of
July drew near with the prospects
of no band. ID
A majority of Taylor's patriotic
bandsmen had enlisted in the federal
services with Company k of Dickin-
son. Somebody suggested writing
Capt. c. N. Barker about 1t.
Some one did, and on the follow
ing train back came the band boys
on several days leave of absence.
Taylor had its big Fourth of July
celebration, and when the bandmen
left for Fort Lincoln today they
were given a real ovation.

FOR RELIGION OR COLOR.

In the old days OF Armenian
nnassacres, before the war, the civil
lied world used to stand aghast at
the slaughter of. innocent Christians.
1.-THE unspeakable Turk" was the
title the murderer earned.
In America we don't massacre
people for their religion, but for
their color. East st. Louis shot,
burned and drowned from 25 to 100
negroes, and drove hundreds more
from their modest little homes, be-
cause of the color of their skin.
If the negro race had a national
government, aside from the little
republic of Liberia settled chiefly
from this country, it would have the
right to demand an indemnity for
the atrocities committed at East st.
Louis. It would have the right to
demand safety for its citizens in
foreign countries, just as America
demanded safety for its citizens in
Mexico.
While the United States is fighting
for the freedom of the oppressed
peoples abroad, the government can
not allow those responsible for the
st. Louis atrocities to go un-
punished

Night overlook them finally on

next morning, their reception was

AIR ROUTE ALONE is OPEN.

Writers on military topics are
coming to the belief that there are
but two ways to definitely end the
submarine peril, and that is the cap
ture Of their bases by a land attack,
or their destruction by an aerial at
tack on huge scale.
Winston Spencer Churchill, form
er lord of the admiralty, has sug-
gested naval attack on the sub
marine bases. He argued that If the
newer vessels could not be risked,
some Of the older warships could be
employed.
The folly of warships attacking
land Notifications was proven in the
iIl-fated expedition to the Darda-
nelles. If the older warships were
used, their guns would be greatly
outranged by the German land de-
lenses, and even if the ships got
through the mine fields, they would
probably be sunk before they got
within range of the land. The only
possible offensive from the sea,
would seem to be from boating forts
not unlike the old Monitor Of Civil
War fame.
On the map it seems but a short
distance from the Allied line to the
Belgian seaports. Actually it is many
