LACK THE OLD SPIRIT.

Sea Power, a magazine devoted to
the activities of the United States
navy, ascribes much of the decline in
the activities Of the submarine, to the
loss Of morale among U-boat crews
While admitting that the methods
Of hunting the submarine have been
improved vastly, and that this has
had much to do with the declining
losses, it is maintained that the u
boat crews no longer have the old
spirit for the chase. Several reasons
are given for this.
In the first place, the discomforts
OF life aboard submarine in the
North Sea in winter, are acute,
amounting to real hardship. The
steady monotony of life In the
cramped quarters tells on the spirit OF
the men. .
The arming of merchant ships, and
the greatly increased efficiency Of tho
foes of the submarine, have forced
the U-boats to spend a much greater
k1A@ Va AAAN LAAAAG uAAN6A "dNEIs anu
the depth bombs have added greatly
to the chance of dying like rats with
out chance for a fight.
The torpedOes are less efficient than
formerly, being slower and less ac-
curate, and the U-boats have to get
much closer to score a hit, greatly
increasing the chance of being sunk
Also the crews no longer are the
heroes at home. they once were. 1t
is becoming a part of the routine of
the war, and very disagreeable rou-
tine it is. 1t is reported that many
submarine crews simply seek out a
quiet spot and loaf around in safety
for several days. returning to port
with report of engine trouble.

Fair and Warmer,
Orbheun1 Tonight

Fair and Warmer, the Orpheunf's
Offering this evening, billed as a
screamingly funny farce, bids fair to
be received by a good house, the
advance seat sale being most salts
factory.
This Hopwood farce, builded on
the domestic affairs of two apparent
" lily matted couples, is declared by
eastern critics as a constant laugh,
and developments from the time the
prin and proper wife Of the rounding
husband, and the quite sedate hus-
band of the cabaret wife, decide they
are being given the worst of it, and
set out for a little time of their own,
rapidity and furnish laughs in
abundance.
Selwyn e. Co, have provided a
good cast for the show, and that
company's success in within the
Law, and Irwin Beds is evil
dence of IT'S ability to pick winners.
The curtain goes up at 8;l5 o'clock
at the Orpheum this evening.
Wednesday evening at the Orph-
cum. the drama, Her Unborn Child"
will be presented, opening a four day
engagement.
The drama will be presented at a
special matinee at 1880 o'clock
Thanksgiving day, to which men ana
women will be admitted, while spec
iaI matinees for women only will be
presented Friday and Saturday.
Her Unborn Child" is a play that
takes birth control as its theme. and
details the experience of a young
couple, heralded by the press agents
as Glowing not wisely but too we'll.

NOT BATTING" HIM.

Resolutions passed by the Cass
County Bar association and address
ed to Senator Gronna, should not be
received by the North Dakota repre-
sentative, as merely an attempt to
bait him.
The Forum does not believe that
was the spirit in which they were
passed. There is no hidden sting in
the resolutions. They mean exactly
what they say.
Senator Gronna himself scarcely
would claim that his attitude has
been one tending to promote a sue
cessful prosecution Of the war.
Senator Stone. who voted with
Senator Gronna against the declara-
ton Of q state Of war, now favors the
declaration of war against Germanys
allies, and the vigorous prosecution
OF both conflicts.
It is not necessary for Senator
Gronna, in order to act in accordance
with the resolutions, to admit his mis-
take. He may assert simply that
conditions have changed now that
america is in the war, and that he is
willing to accept the inevitable and
cooperate to the best of his ability.
1t is an opportunity for Senator
Gronna to recede from a position
that rapidly is becoming untenable.

Miss Macbeth
Very Pleasing

Exquisite in every respect, both as
to voice and personality, is Florence
Macbeth, coloratura soprano, who
appeared in Fargo at the Orpheum
Monday evening under the auspices
of Mrs. w. +. Gushing. Opening the
program with a spirited rendition Of
The Star Spangled Banner, Miss
Macbeth had the deep appreciation
of her audience with her until the
closing song, popular patriotic air
given as her second response to the
insistent encore.
Excellent taste was apparent in
the choice of the regular Macbeth
program, the first group of which
comprised three charming songs
from the old Italian. Handers Care
Selve" was given with consummate
skill, affording full play for the
singers flexible and lovely voice. In
none of her numbers, even the most
difficult, were the tones forced, and
the rare richness and beauty OF
voice perfectly trained were a con-
tinuous delight to all who heard
her.
''Lakme", was the star number of the
program, and the trills, runs and
staccatos incident to her interpreta-
ton of it were done with an ease
that won many admiring comments.
Miss Macbeth seems to experience
to an unusual extent the emotions
portrayed in her songs, and the UNI
studied grace Of her gestures ana
expressions was particularly evident
in her French group of five numbers
from such composers as Weckerlin,
Dalcroze, Rabey and Bachelet. Her
nersonaIity is as winsome and
Charming as her voice is fresh and
free, and hers is a delicate art which
she uses with taste and entire ease
in execution.
Two English groups found a place
on the program, representing such
composers as Bishop, Munro, Carey,
Carpenter. MacDowell, Clough-
Leighter and Gilberte. The latter
composition, moonlight, Starlight,
was given with a dance rhythm most
infectious.
Not the least of'the young singers
charms was her delightful readiness

pending schism in the ranks of thu
league, as follows:
Inside political talk from Bis
marck has II that there is trouble
brewing in the inner circle of
the Townley camp-that Attor-
ney General Wilhelm LANCER is
lining up the league to discard
Governor Frazier and support
LANCER for governor at the next
election. Whether LANCER or
Frazier will get the league sup
port will not be known until
President Townley declares him
self as Townley is saying moth
ing. but endeavoring to smooth
things over. But the contest be-
tween LANCER and Frazier has
taken such form that the league
has been unable TO keep the
secret any longer. Frazier's
friends think LANCER is biting
the hand that has been feeding
him. but Brutus LANCER doesn't
believe in letting the political
fortunes Of any one man stand
In the way OF his ambition. It
is said that LANCER wants to be
governor for two years and then
run for the senate against Gron-
ma. The Townley-F Frazier Gron-
ma camp surely took on some
load when they took the youth
full Wilhelm into their circle
SOME months ago. But then.
