CALL TO AMERlCANlSM
(From the New York Mail. Pro-
German.)

Germany
Zimmermann, the German foreign
minister, admits the authenticity of
the German note to Mexico. Those
who hoped against hope that the
note was some insane mistake can
hope no more. Germany admits the
intent to attack us at our weakest
point, to ally herself with our worst
enemies Mexico and Japan.
Herewith was dissolved the last
tie that could bind any American to
Germany. Sympathy in her cause Is
overwhelmed by indignation at this
covert attack against us. an attack
prepared at g. time when she was
protesting the desire to maintain our
friendship.
The stern call goes forth to Amer
leans of German origin to become
Americans alonA wherever born,
today they have . new birth. Today
they are born into obligation to sup
port unreservedly their government
against the German empire in its
measures to protect American lives
and commerce on the seas. Against
these measures of protection the
German empire invites Mexico and
Japan into aggression upon us. 1t
is an unthinkable thing, but it is
true. sa ~ 4
No more indecision or disunion
The stern realities of the worlds wal
are Numbering at our door. Rise
and meet them. I'D Germany and Ger.
mans will act for Germany's inter
ests. Americans will act for the in
terests of America.
It is an atmosphere in which no
old allegiance. no divided loyalty
can live. 1t is an atmosphere that
breathes those live-giving elements
from which nations derive their
strength. Our country is threatened
It's power, its prestige, its honor, its
political integrity are at stake.
But whoever Is American today

PATRIOTIC THOUGHT.

According to statement made by
Professor r. B. Anderson, of Madison,
Wis, publisher Of Amerika, q scandi-
navian newspaper, the publishers of
all Scandinavian language newspapers
in the country have advised their
readers to engage in no formal 'cele-
bration this year on May IT, the Nor
wegian independence day. as such
celebrations might be construed as
evidence Of a lack Of full loyalty to
the United States in the present crisis
The observance of this anniversary
in the past has been marked most
conspicuously by two things. express
sions Of affection for the associations
which belong to the old homo land,
and Of unreserved loyalty to America
and It's institutions. Whether or not
1T is wise and expedient that, under
existing circumstances, these observ-
ances be omitted now, Is for our oiti-
zens Of Scandinavian origin to deter
mine for themselves. It would be un-
gracious and uniting that advice
should be given them by others.
But, whatever decision may be
reached by those most Immediately
interested, it Is appropriate that we
recognize the patriotic spirit which
has prompted this suggestion. That
spirit is the true spirit of loyalty,
| which places America first, and which
would avoid everything, no matter
how innocent and proper in itself,
whose meaning might be distorted or
misunderstood. Tho great body of
people to whom the suggestion Is
made will, we are certain, conduct
themselves discreetly, honorably and
| loyalty. And 1t is in the spirit Of full
and unreserved loyalty that this sug-
gestion has been made.

CANADA SENDS
men T0U.S. TO
LURELAB0RERS
Commissioner of immigration at
Winnipeg Coming to Grand
Forks to Start Work.
Government Must Adopt Extra
ordinary Measures to Get Suf-
fcient Farm Hands.
COMING TO THIS CITY.

COMING no THIS CITY.
Winnipeg, March S.-Louis Kerr,
commissioners of immigration, has
been sent by the Canadian govern
ment to Grand Forks, st. Paul and
Minneapolis to start q campaign to
secure help for Canadian farmers
this spring.
Ottawa. March s.-canada is plan
ming to remedy its marked shortage in
farm labor by Offering concessions
| that are expected to draw many thou
sands of workers from the United
States. The shortage is due to the
heavy enlistment for overseas service
and to the great number Of men am
ployed in the manufacture of NUM-
tions.
The government, taking official
cognixance Of this condition, has pass
ed an order-in-c council which. 1t is
hoped, will not only tend to increase
the number Of men in Canada willing
to accept farm work. but draw from
the United States further numbers Of
the same class.
The unprecedented increase in pric-
es Of farm products, which has been
attributed partly to the reduction Of
acreage as a result Of the scarcity Of
farm labor, has aroused the govern
ment to the necessity of adopting ex-
traordinary measures to provide for
the planting and harvesting Of CROPS
large enough to meet the heavy de-
mands of the coming year.
BY the provisions Of the order-in-
council any person working as a farm
laborer In Canada during the present
year is entitled to have counted as res
idence on any homestead, pre-emption
or purchased homestead for which he
may have entered, the period during
which he was so employed and cult
walton duties may be performed in
two years instead of three years.
1t is felt that by making this pro-
vision, which is done under the war
measures act, any homesteaders who
necessary stock and machinery will
be willing to engage with farmers
who have all necessary stock and ma
chinery and merely lack labor and
that the agricultural output of the
country will in this way. be augmented
to q great extent.
With the object Of securing as
much farm help from the United
States as possible. the widest publicity
is being given to the terms OF the or
der-in-council and advertisements of
the demand for farm help will appear
in about 1000 publications in the
United States.
The government will explain to all
residents Of the states who contem-
plate entering for a homestead and
working for some other farmer dur
ing the remainder Of the year that
this offer is not made with the object
Of getting people into Canada to en-
list for military service, but simply
and solely with the object Of obtain
ing the requisite help to increase the
supply OF foodstuffs so necessary at
allied nations. -"t-~ .
Canada is prepared to compete with
the best wages now being paid in the
United States for farm labor This will
undoubtedly bring about record wag-
es for this class of employment and
will probably attract many young men
who have abandoned the farm for the
city in the states

WHAT BECAME OF

1t is to be hoped that the plans

variation of one or two votes. There
are five members who are not classi-
fed as members Of either party, and
who are grouped under the name of

these five will hold the balance of
power, and will be able to swing the
decision either way. That five mortal
men will hold this power without oc-
casdonally abusing it is rather too
much to expect, and the business of
the country will be expedited by a. b.
partisan arrangement In which recog-

Of the two great groups. In that way
