GERMAN. TO GERMANS

The deluded German people is
fighting not for it's existence, and not
for its proper place in the council of
nations" says DR.. Herman Rose
meier, former editor of the Berlip
Morgenpost, now in Switzerland, in
an open letter to his countrymen. 1T
is fighting for the phantom of the
which whole host of unfortunately
only too influential persons think
they have caught a glimpse-dream-
ers, fortune hunters, spectators and
adventures. 1t is likewise fighting
for the very practical object of the
setting up of a relentless and unscrup-
ulous reign of brute force in it's own
country. The first object has well
nigh vanished. In reality the period
of visions of determination was
already over when the battle of the
Marne was fought, and the GO for
them, boys Crown Prince, who in his
haste to attack had forgotten his am
munition, was woefully thrashed,
when in September, 1914. his grotes-
quely grandiose plan of brutality
falling upon France and crushing her
to death fell to pieces, like house OF
cards, and old Haseier had to spend
the anniversary of Sedan not in the
Cafe de la Paix in Paris, but in a
little pub in an out-of- -theway Ar
gonne village. The war party, how
ever, is as yet unhappily "a long way
from abandoning the hopes and
plans which it built upon the out
break of the world war.
German people, when will you
awake from your sleep When will
your eyes be opened and when will
! you cease to be patient as lambs
i" You are fighting for a
Crown Prince of Prussia for whom
| the war is a pleasant excitement; fol
a Crown Prince of Bavaria who is
not ashamed to utter scarcely veiled
/ hints that defenseless prisoner:
should be murdered; and for whole
pack of princely families who are 8
useless burden upon the country''
purse. You are fighting for a genera
! staff and an admiralty whose crue
and barbarous methods of warfare
in fagrant violation of internationa

abhorred by all the world of to-day
and will make it abhorred by tina
of tomorrow. You are fighting tina

be strengthened anew, and that th'
Prussian oorporaIs stick may thrasf
out of the men of southern and west

you are fighting for the perpetuatior

FOR ALL SECTS

"HE Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation has made it possible for
men in prison camps of the war
ring countries to observe religious
services according to the desires of
the different groups. AS a part of the
magnificent educational work being
carried on through the Prisoners OF
War; department, religious services
are held regularly for the men.
on one Sunday morning, in lit
tie building in a detention camp, a
priest came in and held services for
the Roman Catholic prisoners. A
little later a young man with strong
leanings toward the cloth" who
had heard the call of his country
conducted services for the Protestant
boys. Following this was a service
for members of the Greek Orthodox
Church, concluding with a Jewish
Synagogue service.
Prisoners in the camps respond
quickly to the appeal to their better
natures, and not the least important
of the y. NJ. c. A. activities are The
religious services which carry the
soldiers, for a few hours each week,
back to the scenes of their child
hood
This is only part of the great
work to be carried on by the fund
now being raised in the United States
for War Work by the Y. NJ. c. a. and
the Y. w. G. a. and in which Dauphin
county is playing a leading part
other purposes are to provide re-
creation centers where healthful
amusement will be at hand for the
soldiers while they are off duty.

farmers who's corn was killed early
by frosts and VIII have had to buy
for their cattle.
Both of these recommendations
strike us as decidedly pertinent. The
first so important that there should
be no hesitancy in complying with
it. AS for the second, probably Few
farmers realize the extent of the
damage done by September frosts
Providing double the usual amount
of seed corn is plain duty for the
farmers.

uNLUCKY NUMBERS

Our only unlucky number is lS.
In Japan they have two unlucky
numbers-42 and 40. Nobody wants
either of these numbers for q tele-
phone call, simply because the for
mer is pronounced "shini," when
means "to die" and the latter is pro-
nounced "shiku," which means
death" The luckiest telephone
number in the estimation of the

Tuesday began to-day before judges
of the courts of the several counties
and from reports reaching here the
ballots of the soldiers will have even
greater influence upon results than
anticipated on election day. The
strenuous nature of the Mayoralty
and other fights in number of the
big counties and the closeneSS of the
figures in the unofficial returns have
made doubtful elections to some i'm

will require over a week to complete
and there are prospects of contests
being launched.
The fact that the commissioners

to complete filing of returns may
cause some delays, but owing TO the
general interest it is believed that
practically all of the commissioners
will file their figures promptly. The

SUBJECTS
POPULAR AT WAHPETON
Increased Interest Shown. IN Course
by Students at Science
School.

Wahpeton, N. D., Sept. 27.-The
Science school opened Tuesday
morning for registration and classes
met Wednesday. The enrolment was
but two less than last year. Consid-
ering the fact that it rained most
of the first day this is considered
very fine showing. There are fewer
boys this year but the number of
girls has materially increased. Stu
dents have registered for work in all
of the departments and the regular
schedule of courses will be in run
ming order by the end Of the week.
The commercial department is es-
pecially popular due to the present
great demand in the commercial
world for expert help. There will be
sixty or seventy five students in this
department alone.
Some very good band material Is
coming in and there Is no doubt that
we will have the usual fine band
that we have turned out in the past.
The showing for athletics is not
so good, but it is hoped that some
good material will turn up soon.
Some social activities are already
being planned and will be featured
as soon as possible. Along with this
are some plans for literary and stu
dent activities. -.
AS it now looks, this year Is to be
one of the best in the history OF the
school. We may not have the largest
enrolment, but everyone Is pulling
to make this a banner year for the
State Science school.
MIR. Power, of the state board OF
regents, visited the school Tuesday,
registration day. He was very well
pleased with the outlook.

ordering them kept away from navy
yards, arsenals and other govern
mcnt property. Licenses are given
to alien enemies to remain within
the prescribed areas. The depart
ment of justice seems to be seized
with a morbid fear that influential
Germans may be made angry IL the
government dares to make itself safe
against plotters and bomb throwers.
Keenly intelligent enemies are per-
mitted to remain in the District of
Columbia, where they can learn
and military secrets. Why is this?
Is the department Of justice think
ing more of the German vote than the
German bomb? Why are the official
representatives OF Bulgaria permit
ted to come and go freely through
the United States. gathering any in
formation that may be desired by
their masters in Berlin? Does the
department of justice repose full
confidence in the good faith and for
bearance Of the enemy? II so, the
American people will no longer have
faith in the department Of justice.
Must Americans be burned or
blown to atoms in some horrible rail-
road wreck or factory explosion be-
fore the authorities awake to the
fact that the enemy must be watch
ed? What better warning is needed
than the Mare Island explosion?
The people do not care to have
their safety depend upon the gener-
osity Of the enemy. They would
rather see some proof that their own
protectors were on the Job.

The guard probably brought into
the federal service a total of not
more than 300. 900 men, possibly less.
1t will take. therefore, at least 49,
600 national army men to fill up the
guard divisions. Another 100000 of
the national army will go to the air
service and certainly as many more
to other special services. That would
leave not more than 100000 men to
form the is national army divisions
which should have an aggregate war
strength of 433, 1000.
Secretary Baker pointed out yes
terday some of the difficulties that
attend the reorganization of the ma
tional guard for war purposes. While
the 16-division plan for the guard,
since extended to II with the or
ganization Of the And or Rainbow"
division, is an old one, the whole
fabric OF the divisions has been
changed. With the adoption of the
European regimental and company
standard, every guard regiment,
which was to be included in a divis-
ion, had to be expanded. Regiments
and parts OF regiments are being
consolidated to furnish the $500 men
regimental units now desired.

TOO EASY WITH THE ENEMY.

Congress and the administration
are singularly easy going and gen.
erous toward the enemies OF the
United States in two particulars.
Although the United States has been
at war since April 6, no law has
been passed prohibiting trading with
the enemy. Germans in neutral
countries are obtaining money from
the United States and sending 1t to
Germany. The other mistake is the
assumption that all enemy aliens in
the United States are harmless I'M
less they attract attention by some
overt act.
Central and South America have
many enterprising German residents,
some of them citizens of the repub-
lies and others retaining their Ger
man allegiance. All Of them are, in
fact, loyal to Germany, and the Ger
man empire claims them, even If they
have expatriated themselves. These
men are keen traders, usually lead
ers in business, and resourceful fin
ancially and otherwise. Many of
them have established connections
in the United States through which
they buy and sell. They have strong
credits here and can obtain heavy
advances. The coffee interests of
certain repuplcs are largely IN Ger
man hands, and the business Is
financed from the United States. The
Germans concerned are now drawing
upon America for gold or its equival-
ent against the forthcoming crops,
and there is nothing to prevent the
dispatch of this money to Germany.
Congress Is either utterly ignorant
of the situation or absolutely indif-
ferent to it. The Presidents en-
barge against gold exports means
nothing so long as American citizens
are permitted to trade with the en-
envy in neutral countries.
AS for alien enemies, all that the
United States government needs to
do is to study the Mare Island ex-
plosion. This occurred in a govern
ment reservation, supposedly under
strict guard. In a manner not yet
alien enemies or Ameri-
can traitors gained entrance and
placed explosives so that a powder
magazine was blown up.
Yet alien enemies are permitted TO
violate the Presidents proclamation
