section of the report devoted to
Peace Terms, which advocates an
international agreement to secure
peace and settlement Of the present
war without "Vindictive" indemni-
ties or territorial changes. The Sec
ton says:
1T is an imperative duty from
which there is no escape that wage
carriers as well as all other citizens
OF this republic support our govern
ment in its righteous effort to defend
principles of humanity and to es-
tablish democracy in international
relations. Because we desire perman-
ent peace ii is our duty to fight and
sacrifice until these purposes can be
achieved.
when nations can send repre-
sentatives to negotiate peace terms
in accord with this concept, we
maintain that the basic provisions
of the peace treaty should be formu-
lated with regard to the rights and
welfare of the men, women, and chill
dren constituting the nations rather
than the governments OF the nations.
The government should be only an
instrumentality of the people instead
of dominating and actuating their
lives. This terrific war must wipe
out all vestiges of the old concept
that the nation belongs to the ruler
or government
I'VE hold that the same principles
should apply to relations between
nations and that secret diplomacy
should be replaced by diplomatic
representatives responsible to the
wishes of their own people and re-
ceived by either the parliament Of
the country to which they are
accredited or by a representative Of
the people, responsible to them.
Workers Not Represented.
working people have never been
properly represented in diplomatic
affairs. The future must be con-
structed upon broader lines than the
past. We insist therefore, that the
government of the United States
provide adequate and direct repre-
sentatives of wage carriers among
the plenipotentiaries sent TO the
peace congress, and urge upon the
labor movements of other countries
to take like action.
I'VE urge the adoption of the fol-
lowing declarations as the basis upon
which peace must be negotiated:

! will you join? This is the call
Of Miss Democracy. With the ex-
ception Of three cities in North Da-
kota, all others have fallen below
their quota. Before DR. r. f. Ladd,
head Of the food conservation admin
istration for the state, returns from
Washington, Richard o. Baird, chem
list at the North Dakota Agricultural
college, wants to wire him that
North Dakota has completed it's
quota and that he can communicate
this information to the federal OIL
Gals.
Fargo, with a population close to
the $4,000 mark. is more than so per
cent behind it's quota. Mr.. Baird at
tributes this for the fact that the
people are not acquainted with the
significance and purpose of food
pledge enlistments. He states that

the lesson OF food conservation TO the
masses of the state.
The people must be told that we
must stimulate our food production,
organize our food handling, eliminate
all waste possible. substitute as much
as possible other foods for wheat,
beef, pork. sugar and reduce con-
sumption where Ii is excessive, said
Mr.. Baird. He again emphasized the
fact that the government is not going
to commander the supply OF food.
Pledge Cards Everywhere.
Pledge cards may be found any
where in North Dakota. Patrons OF
the cafes and the hotels may ask any
of the walters for a card, sign it be-
fore leaving the hotel and 1t will be
turned over to the food administra-
ton department Of the state. No fees
or dues are required. 1t is simply q
promise to help the government. The
of the great aim of
the government-to feed its boys at
the front and to win the war for
only be done with the
personal and voluntary
service OF all OF the people of the
land. North Dakota made a wonder
full showing in the Liberty Loan bond
Surely, the state can go

paign.
Cities such as jamestown, M&rdan
and Grafton have taken hold of the

ic zeal until the full quotas assigned
TO each place have been filled. In
several instances calls were made
for more cards. Food pledge card

The steel helmets that have been
almost universally adopted by the
armies on the battleflelds of Europe
are now to be used by the photog-
raphers who are making the pictorial
history Of the world conflict. They
are slightly different from those in

and coming down far over the eyes.
