LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE

Among the various "peace societies. there is great
confusion in names. And societies in whose names the
word peace is used are quite apt to be classified to-
gether, no matter how opposite their purposes may be.
Al to ultimate purposes, we take 1t for granted that
all organizations are substantially alike. Practically
speaking. everyone wants peace. Outside of a mere
own sake. We want what we want, and II we can get it
without war we prefer to do it that way.
But there are all sorts of societies devoted to the
maintenance of peace, and the thories Of these societies
vary widely. There are those who think that peace may
be secured by the negative method of not fighting or be-
ing willing to fight under any circumstances. 1t is i'm
portant that the League to Enforce Peace be not con-
fused with any Of these.
This league, one of whose representatives will visit
Grand Forks soon. aims at universal peace, not through
inaction or negative action, but by the organization OF
nations into aleague whose members will be definitely
pledged to fight any of their number who violates the
peace of the world by going to war without first sub
uniting the questions at issue to a tribunal for investiga-
ton and report.
1t Is not to be denied that there are difficulties in the
way Of such an organization. There are many questions
to be answered, many points to be cleared up. But, at
any rate, the League to Enforce Peace is not engaged
in the promotion of a visionary notion that the peace Of
the world is to be made secure by the utterance Of pious
fight. The men who have been Instrumental in organ
izinE the league, one of whom Is former President Taft
himself something Of fghter-are in favor of a world
peace organization with teeth and claws, and Of having
both teeth and claws used in case of necessity.

CONSUMPTION AND SELECTION

The government authorities are putting forth every
effort to conserve the resources Of the country, in foods,
in manufactures, in money. And these efforts are met
with approval everywhere. 1t Is realized that we must
save and make available all the energy that the nation
has. And yet in congress and throughout the country
there is considerable sentiment in favor Of a method Of
recruiting an army which is and must be wasteful Of the
most precious power that the nation has-its man.
power.
gency which exists, is that every man shall serve where
he can serve best. In that way only can we utilize the
human resources Of our nation. And the volunteer sys-
tenn tends directly in the opposite direction, and because
it does so tend, 1t IL a menace to our national effective
ness.
If service in the army is left to the initiative of the
individual there springs up throughout the nation the
patriotic impulse to enlist. Enlistment stands forth as a
duty which the individual owes to his country, a duty
which must be performed at no matter what personal
sacrifice, a duty with whose performance only the most
sacred obligation to others or the clearest national need
in some other direction can be permitted to interfere.
The young man Of proper age and in good health is
placed in a position where he must enlist or explain why
he does not. There is no literal obligation Of this kind,
Of course, but failure to enlist, in the absence Of some
reason we'll understood by the community, places the
young man under a cloud.
The natural result of this is that men who ought not
to enlist, and who are more needed elsewhere than in
the ranks Of the army, will enlist. Personal inclination
and the consciousness Of the expectation of the commu-
nifty alike contribute toward this end.
Take the case of the young man on the farm. He
is his fathers assistant. He is not quite indispensable.
but he is very useful. He il young. strong and vigorous,
and he feels that his duty is at the front. He does not
like the idea OF explaining In future years that while other
men risked their lives he remained at home to hoe po-
tatoes. He volunteers. and he goes to the front with
his fathers blessing. The army gets a good soldier, but
the nation loses the service Of an efficient man in a place
where efficiency is as greatly needed as it Is in the
trenches. This will apply to individuals in every occu-
patton. and when the same thing happens in Thousands
Of instances, as It did in England, and as 1t will be with
US, the industry Of the whole nation Is demoralized at
the very moment when It's machinery ought to work most
smoothly.
Under an intellgently arranged conscription plan
each man in the country says, in effect: Here am I. My
services belong to my country. Use them where they can
best be used-in tho field, on the farm, in the factory
wherever there is a mans work to do"

DON JAIME Is NO

OF THE KAISER

Madrid, Spain, April 20.-Don
Jaime Of Bourbon, who has been re-
peatedly classed among the Spanish
partisans Of the German cause, is said
now by his former secretary, Don
Francisco Mslgar, to entertain quite
opposite sentiments. Senior Melgar
declared recently that GOODNESS pre-
vailed between Emperor William and
Don Jaime. despite the statements to
the contrary by the so-called carlist
papers that are 6erhianophile.
In q letter to Senior Melsar, Don
Jaime says: "You know that the

there consisted in having me arrest

CARRIER PIGEONS PLAYING
THRn PART IN THE wAH

London, July 19.-Carrier pigeons,
first cousins to the "dove of peace"
are playing their part in the war, bird,
of this breed being used by the allies
to transmit messages from one part of
the western frch: to another.
In localities where it is impossible
to install telephone lines and too dan.
gerous to wig.wag, pigeons are used
almost exclusively and few of them
have fallen into enemy haAds. 70.
French troops were the first to use
the "homers," probably introducing
them on account Of their use in the
Franco-P -Prussian war when carriers
were sent by the scores from blockaded
Paris, carrying messages and even pri.
vate letters over the heads Of the be.
sieging German army.
The extreme speed and directness OF
their flights make the carrier pigeon a
difficult mark for soldiers, who seldom
bring them down with their rifles.

Rate Of Pay In Navy.
The law increasing the pay Of the
men In the navy has just been enacted
and the pay tables under the new dis.

but 1t Is a simple thing to determine
the rate Of pay of each seaman of
whatever class by adding to the pay
given in the accompanying table the
amount Of increase In each case The
increased pay allotment has Just gone
into effect. Below Is given the navy
wage table, with the pay as 1t stood
prior to the recent act of congress. In
order to know what each mans pay
now Is, 1t is only necessary to know
that every man now drawing less than
$21 month will receive an increase of
$15 month; that every man drawing
at present from $22 to $24 month, in
elusive, will receive $12 month addi-
tional; that every man drawing more
than $24 and less than S45, will receive
50 month additional, and that every
man drawing at present $45 or more
month will receive Sc month addi-
tional pay.
1t should be borne in mind that the
apprentice seaman. the ordinary boy
recruit, who ordinarily gets S17.6O a
month. will be receiving at the time
that this is read SIS additional, max
ing his pay $3.50.

U. S. TROOPER FOUND MUIR
DERED IN COPPER ZONE

Globe, Ariz, July 16.-The body of
Mark Caffado, United States trooper of
Troop x, Seventeenth cavalry, was
found here early today lying on the
railroad track near the city limits.
Authorities advance two theories
one that Caffado was murdered, his
throat being cut. The body was placed
on the track to cover up the crime, it
is believed.
Another theory is that Caffado was
killed near the Old Dominion mine
picket line. He was slugged, this the
ory would indicate, and carried to the
track where the lacerated thoart was
inflicted by train running over the
body. A coroner's inquest will be held
shortly. Feeling runs high here as the
result of the alleged murder.

WHAT SHALL WE DO 18r
WITH THE NEGRO?
(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)

Movement of negroes from the south
to take the places of white men in big
industrial enterprises has already borne
fruit in the East st. Louis race riots.
With the departure of the immigrant
population to the seat of war in Eu-
rope, there remained only the negro to
exploit, and he has been coming in a
steady stream to northern cities.
By bringing the black man into COM
petition with the white man, employers
OF labor have raised social problem
as difficult to meet as any by which
our country is confronted.
Booker 7. Washington once said, 81
cannot hold any man in the gutter
without staying in the gutter myself -
And Washington was right. AS a
matter of self-protection, it behooves
us to care for the negro If we keep
the negro in the gutter, we shall be
compelled to stay there with him.
Without discussing the race question
in any way, let us look at few out
standing facts in regard to our treat
ment of the negro. rsil1
We compel him to live in the worst
sections of our towns and cities, often
without drainage or sewerage or gar
bage service, with scarcely any of the
sanitary conditions in house or yard or
street which whites consider an absu-
lutte necessity.
We drive the worst forms of immor
ality into the negro quarters and then
curse the negro because of his moral
weakness. If there is to be red-light
district in town, it is dumped into the
area into which we also dump the negro
population.
It would be a comparatively easy
matter to produce statistics which in
dicate that the negro is the worst GRIM
inal in the world, but how can he help
becoming such? We subject him to
the severest tests of our city life
physical, moral and political-and then
cynically declare the "nigger' is no
good anyway.
But there is another side to this
question. The negroes who live under
these unsanitary conditions are our
laundresses, nurses and cooks. If there
is contagious diseases in their own
are sure to bring it to our homes, either
personally or through the laundry
which we send to them.
There is one big fact we have got to
reckon with-the negro came to the
United States against his will, and he
is going to stay here. He will not re-
turn to Africa to establish Liberian
republic, as some people have fonily
| wished.
After bringing the negro to this
country, for $50 years we systematical-
ly expunged from the negro race the
best qualities which fit man for citi-
zenship in democracy.
1t is now simply question as to
| whether he is to be "good' negro
or "badn negro, and the answer tn
this question depends as much upon
the whites as it does upon the blacks.
Let us give the negro a square deal
Neither race hatred nor mawkish SEN
timentality will settle this delicate
question. The south cannot settle it
of the south. The north and the south,
the city and the country, must attack
the situation together, for this is a
national problem.
