RUSSELL A PATRIOT

The action Of the Socialist Party
/ in expelling Charles Edward
Russell because he accepted a
place on the mission to Russia,
will not help the socialists to any
great degree.
Mr.. Russell, as an American
citizen, obeyed the call of his
country when he accepted a posi-
ton on the commission that has
been sent to Russia to enlighten
the people of that country to the
absolute need of their help in the
war for democracy, and in doing
so, he was greatly honored.
If socialism does not stand for
a free and unshackled people,
then its mission in this world is
ended, for the sooner the people
of every country realize that a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people is the
only true government and the
only way to bring about univer-
sal peace and abolish wars, the
better it will be, especially in
countries like Germany, where
their Emperor rules by divine
right.
Socialism has succeeded better
in the United States than it has
in Germany, where the iron hand
of a divine ruler, the Kaiser,
has held them in subsection, and
the only reason today for the
socialists in that unenlightened
country to be able to give free
expression to their thoughts, is
that the divine ruler, the Kaiser,
does not dare do now what he
would do if Germany was not
at war and food for cannon were
needed to help him in his auto
cratic plans.
The success of Germany, or
rather the Kaiser, in the present
war will mean the enchanting of
it's people and the people OF every
country the ruler by divine right
predominates. Socialism, to be
successful then, must be in rebel
lion, rebellion means continued
war ana misery Tor Vne people.
What socialists should do, would
be to help in every way possible
to break the rule of the scropul-
Gus emperors and kings, the class
who believe that the right to
command the people is given
them by God, and make success
full free and democratic govern
ments.
The Socialist Party has not
hurt Charles Edward Russell in
expelling him for doing his
patriotic duty; his views for the
betterment of humanity are just
as strong today as yesterday,
and he will return to his country
and receive the honOrs due a
patriot, while the Socialist Party
will continue its unpatriotic work
in the interest of the German
emperor.
Sure God does not know such
people as the Kaiser Wilhelm,
except in one way, ard that is
why He does not abolish He'll.

WHAT IS THE RED CROSS

One of the hardest things fol-
us to understand is the antagOn-
ism of any person to the Red
Cross and we are sorry to learn
that there are those amongst us
who are opposed to this very
worthy organization.
How any American with red
blood in his veins can be opposed
to the Red Cross, when he knows
tae great good it has accom-
plished in time of war in caring
for the wounded and in time of
peace, when the Red Cross nurses
and doctors have given their
services and their lives in yellow
fever and other epidemics, is in
comprehensive.
Perhaps, it would be better in
the way of bringing full realiza-
tim to our citizenship as to just
what the Red Cross Society is,
if we quote from the splendid
article of John B. Miller, which
was published in last weeks
GUARDIAN.
To our mind, the following
paragraphs may help those who
are inclined to be against the
Red Cross and bring about a bet
ter understanding of the good
work accomplished by this grand
organization, especially at this
time, when our nation is at war;
1--WE are at war, but we do
not realize what war is, and,
if the Red Cross is able to do
it's full duty, we will never
know what war can be.
DO you know what the
Red Cross does? Some day,
Some where in France,
when our soldiers are in the
trenches, a line of American
boys will leap over the top of
their trenches, slip through
the barbed wire, and. in face
of high explosive shells, gas,
liquid fire, shrapnel, gre
nades, machine gun and rifle
fire, face the barbed wire in
front of enemy trenches for
the bare chance of meeting
bayonet with bayonet, other
boys no more to blame for this
war than they are.
"You know what the loss
will be. You know that after
Ypres the Princess Pats had
only 127 men alive out of the
$50 that saw the sun come
up that day.
What of the fallen? If
the Red Cross is ready, the
Ambulance Corps of the
fighting regiments will carry
the wounded back through
the communicating trenches
to the dressing station. Here
Red Cross surgeons, under
the direct control of the
United States Medical De-
partment, will give first aid.
The wounded will be turned
over to Red Cross ambu-
lances and carried back to
the Red Cross Field Hospital
for immediate attention.
From the Red Cross Field
Hospital, Red Cross ambu-
lances, Red Cross trains. and
in France, even Red Cross
canal boats, will carry the
men back to the Red Cross
base hospitals. If the wound
is not fatal, a Red Cross con-
valescing station will take
care of the soldier till he is
ready to go back to the front.
If the man is disabled a Red
Cross steamer will bring him
back to America, and the Red
Cross receiving station here
will care for him, send him
home and on top of that look
after his family after he is
wounded, just as it will have
looked after his family all the
time he has been away.
do you know what this
means? In the old days be-
fore the Red Cross came, 600
soldiers died out of every
1000 wounded. Today un-

FRENCH DEFEAT
H|NDEN BURG

The latest French victory of April
is, while on smaller scale than
that of Monday, is an equally impor-
tant success. Both Of the sections at
tackled had been Let alone hitherto
on account of the exceptional natural
strength of the German positions.
The French command held that a
successful assault could only be un-
dertaken when overwhelming resour-
ces had accumulated and the general
situation was favorable. The general
who commands the armies of the
right center had been planning the
attack for several weeks and had left
nothing to chance.
Everything was provided for and
the forces under him had nothing to
do but follow instructions to the let
ter.
From their new positions the

by all French soldiers who had ever
been in the section as absolutely i'm
pregnable and it's capture caused the
livlfest satisfaction to everybody.
The 75's followed up the infantry
rapidly and We're soon in action.
They caught large bodies of the en-
envy massing with the object of maxi
ing diversion and decimated them.
According to onlookers such carnage
had not been seen since the action of
Charme Gap at the beginning of the
war,
On the right wing the struggle
was equally to the advantage of the
French Auberive, on which the

i've of 1915 broke. fell speedily as
well as all of the surrounding works.
The French made especially good
progress north of Auberive. In the
section east of Vaudesincourt, Hill
No. 112 was stormed as we'll as

was regular nest of German ma
chine guns.
At certain points the advance was

out success and the French recon-
q
the cover of their artillery.

PLANT A GARDEN:
PRODUCE SOMETHING

1t is to be hoped that everybody
living in Roman will heed the invi-
tation of the president and plant a
garden this spring. There will be
need of every bit of garden stuff the
country may be able to produce, and
the effort may relieve much distress.
The high cost of living is really at
tributable to the fact that very many
people are not producing anything
they eat but depend entirely upon
the efforts of others. Let every fam
lily plant garden this spring and the
price of potatoes and other staples
will materially depreciate. This may
not sound good to farmers who raise
such things to supply those of us who
live in the towns, but the price of
other things the farmers buy may be
reduced in proportion and they might
be better off in the long run.
Every vacant lot in Roman should
be made to grow something for
somebody to eat, as the country will
need it all and the prices may not
be greatly reduced at that.

MYERS INTRODUCES
APPRAISENIENT BILL.

On April 6, Senator Myers reintro-
duced his bill providing for the re-
appraisement of all lands on the Flat
head filed on before June IA, 1911
whcih had been appraised at to ex-
ceed $500 per acre. This is the same
bill which Senator Myers introduced
in the previous congress for the rea-
son that certain homesteaders on the
reservation who applied for the land
priodr to appraisement and VIII ich
afterwards were appraised at from
$1,000 to $4,000 per acre,
Under the terms of his bill none
of the entrymen will be required to
pay in excess of $500 per acre for
their land, the balance Of the ap-
praised value being paid to the
tribal fund from the treasury of the
United States. Quite a number are
interested in this bill and will be
pleased to know that Senator Myers
is still endeavoring to reduce this
appraisement.

wheat this year should first be

along bitches, fences and roads nea,
where wheat is to be planted, should
be destroyed. This can be done pre-
ferably by burning over, which

middle of May.
Flowing the soil will tend to bury
the insects and prevent the emer-
gence of the adult flies. In addition
it will tend to cause an increased

crop is put in. Sine this insect has
been present and doing damage fol
at least six years and has been in.

reason to expect that it will pres.

much, if not more, damage than be-
fore. 1t is not periodical, that is

BURGLARS ATTEMPT
ROBBERY IN ROMAN

Sometime during the early hours
of last Saturday morning yeggmen
visited Roman and the Quality Bak-
cry, Central Meat Market and the
Bailey & Pronovost Billiard Hall are
sufferers from the visitation. The
cash register of the meat market was
riflcd but yielded only a few dol
lars in small change, the previous
days receipts being locked in the
safe. An unsuccessful attempt was
mede to force this with dynamite.
A hole was drilled in the safe
gear the combination dial where it
r@nulti appear that the explosive was
introduced. Lying near the door was
an old tarpaulin which the robbers
evidently used to smother the sound
0 fthe explosion. While the locks,
bolts and entire door were badly
shattered the robbers were unable to
force the safe and in consequence
a considerable sum of money was
saved to the Central Meat Market
The Bailey & Pronovost billiard
hall was likewise burglarized and be-
tween six and seven dollars in small
change which was in the cash reg
lister secured by the robbers. The pea
nut machine was likewise a subject
Of attack for the thieves and while
they were unsuccessful in securing
the cash it held they left the ma
chine in rather a battered condition.
Before making a getaway the yeggs
paid visit to the Quality bakery
where they appropriated a generous
supply of rolls, cookies and pastry.
With these and some boiled ham,
milk and cream and can of salmon
procured at the Central market they
seem to have made substantial re-
past before decamping,
In the past Roman has received
little attention from this class OF
gentry, fact probably due to our
isolation from the railroad. Even
cases of thieving in this community
have been very rare and then Of a
petty character. The poor success of
last weeks visitors should discour-
age further ventures of like nature
and yeggs, footpads and highwaymen
will undoubtedly hereafter not in
clude Roman in their itinerary.
