"5EAT THEM TO IT."

Why not decide to give a minimum
of / per cent Of your income to the
Red Cross, and double or triple or
multiply several times that amount If
you have no dependents?
The Fargo chapter Of the Red Cross
has decided to begin campaign two
weeks from Monday, for the purpose
Of raising at least $4,000 monthly for
the Red Cross work. The Forum
wants to see that campaign made UNI
neeessary by the simple expedient of
beating the campaigners to it,"
The money is going to be raised
anyway. Why not subscribe it with
out being cajoled into it? For once
let us raise a fund without a cam
padgn.
The work of the Red Cross has
been 50 thoroughly exploited. that any
further advertising should be I'M
necessary. If you can pledge only 10
cents a month. pledge it before a
canvasser gets to you. If you are earn
ing 800 month give 81 or 81; If
you are earning 5000 a month, give
81 Cor 81 depending on how many are
dependent on you.
. Pay or fight. Give until it hurts
vol and you have to make sacrifices,
but don't forfeit your self-respect by
making 1t necessary to solicit your
subscription. Don't let the solicitor
prove he is a better citizen than you.
The Forum wants to break up this
proposed campaign, by having all the
money asked for and more, subscribed
before the plans for the canvass arc
rnatured. It is confident that nobody's
feelings will be hurt If the campaign
is called off for that reason. If you
don't know any of the officers of the
Red Cross, The Forum editor will take
your. pledges. but not your money,
which must go to the treasurer.

The War For the Week

Five features stand out in the war
news Of the week: the breaking of Of
diplomatic relations between Greece
and the central empires; the arrival
Of American troops in France; the
final revocation of the declaration of
neutrality by Brazil; the near APP
proach Of the British to Lens; and
the continued Improvement in the
Russian situation.
The break between Greece and the
central powers is the most important
victory for the Allies since Rumania
entered the war. The net gain to the
Allies is really twice the armed force
that Greece can throw into the field,
for 1t will have the effect Of releasing
an Allied force equal in size to the
Greek army. The Allies have had an
enemy in their rear in Greece. The
Greek army was in large part mobil-
lied, and with Constantine on the
throne, the Allies knew that only an
opportune moment was awaited for a
blow at the rear of their lines in
Macedonia. The result was that they
had to keep available an army capable
of meeting the Greek army. This
force will now be released for action,
and 1t will be augmented by the
Greek army itself, when Greece final
ly becomes an active belligerent. It
should make possible real offensive
on the Macedonian front, and possibly
a drive to the Berlin Bagdad railroad
driving a wedge between Turkey and
her European allies. Such a drive is
now the only feasible route to Con-
stantinople. Concerted offensives
from Russia, Rumania and Greece
might result in a real coup for the
Allies-the capture OF Constantinople
and the opening of the Dardanelles.
Americans In France.
The number Of American soldiers in
France is a carefully guarded secret.
1t is not improbable that a division
was sent. The contingent has sup
plies for a year and will thus be a
net gain for the Allies. It will be an
independent unit, and the Americans
will soon be in the trenches. Pos
sibly within two or three weeks they
will be moved forward and will grad
ually find their way to the front line
trenches, and be given a sector to de-
fend. The force in France now is
hardly sufficient to be a real factor
in the fighting, but the moral effect
will be great, both in Europe and
America. 1t will hearten tremendous
ly the English, French and Belgian
armies, and it will prove to the Ger
mans that their government has lied
to them when it said that America
could not be counted on for any troops
this year. From now on the stream
Of soldiers to France will be continu-
Gus. The national guards, when they
are finally assembled, will probably
not waste much time on this side OF
the Atlantic. Most of them are well
seasoned by their experience on the
border and they will be given their
final training in France. BY the first
of September it would not be surpris-
ing If the United States had 100000
men in France, with at least a mil
lion more in training in this country.
That is somewhat different from
sending no support this year.

WHAT ANARcHIsM IS.

Anarchism is getting lot Of free
advertising from the war.
Anarchists, like many others with
some special propaganda to advance.
have taken advantage of the govern
ment's necessity to press their claims.
They have sought to make capital out
of the governments need.
To many anarchy signifies simply
bloodshed or violence. Anarchy doesn't
openly preach that, but bloodshed and
violence are the result.
Many do not realize that 1t is a sys-
tenn of social order-or lack of it.
Here is Emma Goldman's own defini-
ton of it.:
THE philosophy Of new social or
der based on liberty unrestricted by
man-made law; the theory that all
forms Of government rest on violence,
and are therefore wrong and harmful,
as we'll as unnecessary"
Here, in brief, is the way she sums
| it up: Religion, the dominion Of the
human mind; property, the dominion
Of human needs; and government, the
dominion of human conduct, represent
the stronghold of mans enslavement
and all the horrors it entails. Religion!
How it dominates mans mind, how it
humiliates and degrades his soul. God
is everything, man is nothing, says
religion"
Property is viewed as robbery" The
- s1 4y.SY -
says. 1t holds that to abolish property
would be to abolish the crimes against
property. Crimes against the person, it
claims, are 'fostered by the state"
which is itself the greatest criminal,
breaking every natural law, stealing
In the form Of taxes, killing in the
form of war and capital punishment.
Crimes are but misdirected energy"
Anarchy, in brief, would abolish re-
ligion, social customs and institutions,
courts, prisons, jails, the police, and
property. 1t would suddenly trans
form men into race Of beings
who, like the happy occupants Of Kip
lings Paradise
Each on his separate star, ST.
Would paint the thing as he sees it,
For the God Of things as they are"
For supermen-yes. Mere men tried
it in the stone age, when each was a
law unto himself, and it didn't work.
We still have laziness, and crime and
human nature. The best argument
against anarchy is study Of it.

WHY THEY BURIED HIM.
cit is a rule, to which most good
lawyers adhere" observed a well
known attorney, never to tell more
than one knows. There was an Incl
dent in a western town where a lawyer
carried the rule to extreme.
Counsel for one side objected to a
person whose name was on the courts
register for some purpose or other, on
the ground that he was dead. The
counsel on the other side declined to
accept the assurance, and demanded
conclusive testimony on the point.
"Whereupon counsel for the other
side arose and gave corroborative evi-
dence as to the decease Of the man in
question.
" But sir, how do you know the
mans dead?' demanded the opposing
counsel.
Well was the reply. 4 don't know.
It's very difficult to prove"
AS ] suspected. You don't know
whether he's dead or not
No. But ! know this-they buried
him about a month ago on suspicion!

from a political standpoint Brazil
has been one of Germany's best
customers, and Germany is beginning
to have real concern-with very good
cause regarding her commercial fut-
ure after the war.
British Strategy.
The British are steadily driving
closer to Lens, and its fall may be
expected daily. The old strategy of
attrition has been elaborated. In
stead Of a steady pressure, the British
and French seem to have adopted the
policy of short violent assaults at
various points in the line. Ithas been
found that the greatest punishment
Is inflicted in the first day or two of
an offensive, and the Allies seem to
be aiming to infiict this punishment
and then shift their attack to another
section. 1t is baffling and nerve
racking to the troops on the defensive,
and IL this policy could be continued
with a tremendous feet of airplanes
such as America proposes to build, 1t
would be terrifically costly to the Ger
mans. The fall of Lens will be i'm
portant because it is the center of
the coal industry. This city is now
in ruins, and the coal mining has
ceased, but once safely in the hands
of the Allies. the mines might be re-
opened in the course of a few weeks
or months, although the Germans can
be counted on to wreck them as far
as is possible. Every mile that the
Allies advance, reduces the trading
territory of the Germans. If they can
be blasted out of France and Belgium
they will have comparatively little of
value to hold as a hostage when the
time for talking peace comes. The
advance in Belgium is of special i'm
portance, as it brings the Allies closer
to the submarine bases, and it be-
gins to look as If the destruction of
these bases will be the one real and
permanent solution of the submarine
problem. ar
The Russian Situation.
The Russian situation grows stead
lily more hopeful. Tuesday morning
The New York World carried a three
column report from its staff cores
pondent in Petrograd, regarding the
conditions in the Russian army. He
had just returned from eighteen DAYS
spent with the army The report is
intensely interesting. A copyright
prevents its publication in The
Forum, even in part, but it may be
summed up in these words: "Frater-
nizing has almost stopped by the
mutual return to hostilities. The Rus
sian armies are now completely sup
piled with every material for battle,
and the desire to bring an end to the
war by victory is sufficiently strong
in a large part of the army to be able
to carry the whole fighting force into
an offensive. So we returned all con-
WINGED that the Russian army, despite
the revolutionary upheavals, will
make a decisive offensive"
This column has maintained since
the revolution in Russia, that the new
republic could not and would not
make a separate peace, and that the
only danger lay in the Reorganization
of the armies. This danger seems to
be steadily disappearing. . ~

Already tales are being heard Of
efforts to bring influence to bear to
escape the draft.
United States senators and con-
gressmen have been approached by
men Of wealth with offers of substan-

Members of exemption boards in var

Exemption boards will be in the
