WILL BE PROSE-
CUTED IN NORTH DAKOTA

According to the Fargo, Courier
News, certain people living in Fargo
have been guilty of sedition and trea-
son and undoubtedly, if this is the
case, others in the state have been
guilty Of the same offense. U. S. Dis
trict Attorney Hildreth has been asked
to deal with the people. Attorney
General VIM. LANCER has announced
that ne will go after anyone guilty of
this crime relentlessly.
p IL this connection Mr.. Hildreth calls
attention to the law governing such
cases which he says he will enforce
to the letter in every case brought to
his attention. Quoting from the United
States federal penal code, section 6,
the law reads:
Broad in Scope.
IF two or more persons in any
state or territory or in places sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the
United States, conspire to over
throw, put down, or to destroy by
force the government of the
United States, or to levy war
against them or to oppose bv
force the authority thereof, or by
lOIce 10 prevent, nlnder or delay
the execution of any law of the
United States, or by force seize,
take or possess any property of
the United States contrary to the
authority thereof, they shall be
fined not more than $4,000 or i'm
prisoned not more than six years,
or both"
Mr.. Hildreth points out that this law
is broad in its scope and may be ap-

CIINA'S ACT INDICATES AN AWAk-

| In breaking off diplomatic relations
with Germany, China went even further
than did the United States in similar
course, having seized German merchant
ships which were nterned at Shanghai
Under normal conditions of world rela-
tions, this act would be considered far
more than the mere breaking off of rela-
tions; it would be an act of war itself
and, provided she was not otherwise en-
gagged, Germany would retaliate at once
by making formal declaration OF war.
But Germany is too much occupied to
pay much attention to the great un
wieldy bulk in the far east; so China Is
comparatively safe from any marked OPP
erations of hostile nature, while at the
same time she aligns herself with her
Oriental neighbor, Japan, in virtual dec

The battling nature of poliomyelitis, or
infantile paralysis, has never been more
conclusiyely shown than in the present
outbreak of the disease in Waterbury.
Starting from an entirely unknown
cause, spreading through some unsuspect-
ed agency and virtually taking its own
course despite the best efforts of medical
science which has wrestled with the dis
ease for years, the poliomyelitis attack

THE SINKING OF THE ALGoNou>

THE SINKING OF THE ALGONQUIN.
/ Almost simultaneously with former
Ambassador Gerards announcement to
the state department in Washington that
| the German government fully intends to
carry out its submarine campaign against
commerce ships of her enemies and Of
neutral countries came the ca bled report
OF the "unwarned attack" by a German
submarine on an American ship carry
ing 10 American citizens. The two hap
penings strengthen the belief that there
can be nothing short of actual war be-
tween the two nations il the United
States on its part is to maintain sem
blance even Of dignity and honor. How
the sinking of the Algonquin which do
not make the act a cause of war with
out further delay; and until those cir
cumstances are cleared up satisfactorily
the government at Washington may feel
justified in holding itself in restraint.
One of those circumstances was that the
Algonquin was carrying contraband OF
war and as such was subject to seizure
on the high sea- Another was that there
may be difference of opinion whether
the shell fire from the submarine was in
reality an attack or warning to the
fleeing Algonquin to stop and permit
search and seizure under international
law The early reports of the happen
ings had it that the steamer was not |
sunk by the shell fire or torpedo of the !
submarine and that on being oyerhauled
the steamer was visited by the crew of
the submarine who, then, blew up the |
steamer. That act could be interpreted
perhaps as in conformity with interna
tional law, albeit the results are deeply |
notifying to Americans and tending TO
decrease greatly the prestige of the
American nation. great deal of the
question of war hinges on whether or not
the Algonquin was warned.

The Reformer has always been a good
friend of ex-senator Matt l.. Divoll OF
Rockingham, but We do not believe that
his candidacy for the office of state fish
and game commissioner will be serious
ly considered for the reason that he has
had no special training for the kind OF
work which is called for in the position
he seeks. The Office should be filed by
man who is an expert fish culturlst
with executive ability. If Mr.. Divoll
succeeded in landing the job it would be
necessary for him to hire fish cultur-

be avoided.-Brattleboro Reformer.
