The. provision against receiving these marks Of at

which might b understood to mark different classes or
grades Of citizenship. Titles of nobility were abolished,
and it was intended that the basis Of citizenship would
be the Same for all. This was wise, and no change in
that principle can be considered.
But soldiers in active service are engaged in the
performance Of special w~ork5which u related in q close
and peculiar manner to- the nation itself. The, decora-
ton Of a soldier for especially meritorious service bears
no relation to the ideals OF. aristocracy. On the con-
trary, the decoration Of men for such service is often

and Of his nations appreciation Of his effort.
The American soldier is human. Equally with his
fellows he zfizes> such evidences Of appreciation. Those
men to whom decorations were given by the French gov
eminent, and who may not display them in public, value
them, and they would prize the right to possess them in
a regular and authorized way. That privilege should be
given them. A bill which has passed the senate, and
which will come before the house at the approaching
session, makes provision for the acceptance of such dec
orations under specified conditions. It should be passed.
And there appears to be no good reason why we should
go further and provide for the issuance Of decora-
lions to our own men and, on occasion, to the soldiers
OF other nations. Congress does. on occasion, tender it,

PRO- GERMAN AND THE SCHOOLS

No mystery need be made Of the reasons for the re-
moval Of Miss Edith Hoppe from her ponton as teacher
OF German in the Grand Forks high school. This teacher
was removed because she had made such q display of
her German sympathies that her attitude had become q
matter of common. conversation both among the pupils
and In the community at large. That is the substance of
the thing in a nutshell.
Whether this teacher had or had not taught pro.
Germanism to her >classss 10 innmatertal. She had NOT
taught Amertcanism. And her sympathy with tho en-
emies Of the United States had been SO frequently dis.
played that her further retention as "A teacher Of Ameri-

son in the community.
which resulted In the removal Of Miss Hoppe. No ques-
ton has been raised as to her right to the citizenship
which she prefers and the opinions which she believes
correct. But there has been insistence ON the fact that
our schools arc American schools. whose first duty Il

We have among us \ few persons whose sympathies
are with the enemy. ana who make no great secret Of
that fact. Without committing themselves by direct
statement. their whole attitude has been and is one Of
antagonism toward the cause in which these soldiers Of
ours are enlisted. They have expressed themselves by
the scornful look, the sneering word, the shrug Of con-
tempt, the refusal to buy bonds or to contribute funds in
any other manner for the aid OF the government and its
agencies in the prosecution Of the war. The attitude of
those persons Is known. Their behavior has been noted.
And that behavior has been endured, sometimes in sill
ence, by citizens who had to place restraint upon them
selves in order to refrain from acts Of violence. What
will the situation be like when the news comes, az 1T

MORE NURSES WANTED

In the Spanish war many more American soldiers
died of illness in camp than died from injuries received
in battle. Sanitary laws were poorly understood, and
the provisions made for sanitation were sadly inadequate.
Thousands Of men became i'll from diseases which need
not have been contracted at all. Further, the work Of
nursing had not been properly organised. and today all
physicians, and most laymen understand that in the vast
majority of cases the services Of the trained nurse are Of
equal importance with that Of the skilled physician. In
the Spanish war unframed and inexperienced" women
were employed as nurses, and the results in many cases
We're deplorable.
Now the subject is being approached from a differ
ent standpoint, and in addition to all the other facilities
for the preservation Of health it has been decided that
the nurses employed in the work must be trained in their
profession That limits the number from whom army
nurses may be drawn to a small number. It becomes all
the more important, therefore, that every nurse who has
had the training which fits her for this service, and who
can by any possibility do so, shall volunteer for army
work.
There is just now no special demand for nurses for
the foreign field. That service is being cared for separ-
ately. But there is great and immediate need FOR the
services of all available nurses in the camps and canton
ments in the United States, where more than q million
men are being trained, and where there are enough cases
Of illness to keep G, small army Of nurses busy.
There is no more necessary or more honorable serv-
ice in which a woman can engage than this. The same
patriotic feeling which has caused the young men Of the
country to offer themselves for military service ought
to influence the women of the county who have the re-
quired training to volunteer for the service which they
can perform, and which cdn be performed 30 we'll b no
one else. 1t is the conviction of the Red Cross authors
ties who are making an urgent appeal for more nurses
that the response will be as willing and as full when the
needs are understood. The trained nurses of North Da-
kota have an opportunity to do their bit" in a peculiar
ly effective manner.

AN EASTERN VIEW

1t is sometimes interesting, and occasionally useful.
to note what estimate is placed in things close to us by
people at a distance. In this connection the following
editorial from the New York Times under the caption
of 'Mr. Townley in the East" is submitted:
DO the farmers Of this state, do those, In partcu-
lar who have just formed the Fafmers' Nonpartisan
League Of the State of New York, under the patriotic
auspices OF Mr.. A.. c. Townley, the head and front Of
the North Dakota Nonpaetisan League, understand what
Mr.. ToWnley is driving at? Do the representatives of
some trades unions, who confabuiated with the farmers
at the request of the labor food council, whose chairman
is Mr.. John c. Hilsdorf, and whose secretary is Mr.. Carl
Beck, know the past history Of the North Dakota mother
society?
"Ostensfbly the New York league is a union of farm
efs and workmen for the cooperation and good OF pro-
Queer and consumer. Is that what the Nonpartfaan
league has sought or is seeking to do? It began with

MAKES OWN ENAMELED WARE
United States Now Producing Kitchen
Utensils Formerly Imported From
Germany and Austria.

New York.-The United States for
the first time In It's history is now pro-
duclng all OF the enameled utensils
used in American households and in
addition is able to supply large guam
titles to- Europe and South and Cen
tral American countries. According
to figures recently compiled house
wives Of the United States are at
present buying enamel utensils at
about the rate of $30,Ooo,000 yearly. In
former years q considerable portion of
these goods was supplied by manufac-
turers of Sweden, Germany and Aus
tria. Since the beginning of the war
there has been steady decline in
these importations, and at the present
time they are practically nil. Japan for
a time sent in shipments of the ware,
but as the quality of the Japanese
goods was unsatisfactory, the supply
from that source has largely ended.
