nation that outrages against neutrals must stop
that the itself must be stopped and that our
entrance the side of the allies is going to be
potent factor in accomplishing this.
This spirit is the product Of an outraged sense
of justice and this feeling has been growing in in
tensity since Belgium's rights were violated
and by the subsequent policy of Germany that the
end justifies any means adopted. Sundays
gathering had of that spirit which has char
acterized so many 1t sane, thinking

but none Of the prolonged. hysterical mob che c,ng

Mssoula's spirit and that of the nation is the kind
that counts in the long rum a war begot of think

founded on hysteria and appeal to the cave man.

MILLION BUSHELS
OF GRAIN BURNED

Minneapolis. April 9.-Early this
morning fire was discovered in the
Marfield Grain company's elevator in
southeast Minneapolis. The flames
worked through the building rapidly
and firemen said the building would
be a total loss.
The cause of the fire could not be
determined. The police said that the
building was too far removed from the
Quinn Shepardson building to have
been caused by sparks from that build
ing, which burned several hours ear
lier.
Within few minutes after the fire
was discovered the structure was q
mass of flames.
The elevator is said to have con-
tanned 100000 bushels Of wheat.
According to the police, fire was also
discovered in the Stewart elevator Of
the Banner Elevator company. A
Waterman put out the flames before
any damage was done.
