lie Sueur Center Leader.Democrat:
While it may be all right to put on
some rather stringent regulations for
the large cities, we are not quite able
to understand just why all the smaller
peaceful communities should be equal
~ CIRCULATED. The big cities now
take up about half the time Of our leg
islators, with special legislation for
their benefit, and it seems as if adding
insult to injury to consider that all the
smaller communities are as wicked and
sinful as. the big cities, and should be
governed accordingly by all special or

CRISIS REACHED WITH NORWAY
WILL NOT SUBMIT TO GERMANY'o
ARROGANT DEMANDS.
Despite Her Desperate Efforts to Main
tain Peace Belief 10 That Losses
Will Bring Action. ~a

London, June %. - Norway has
reached crisis in relations to Ger
many. Judging from information re.
believe she will not submit to Ger
many's arrogant demands as to her
commerce and shipping, despite her
desperate desire to maintain peace.
Well informed Norwegians in Lon
don recognize the military purposes of
Germany's continued and illegal de-
Struction Of Norway's shipping. They
see the reasons for Germany's sys-
tematic campaign to wipe out Norwe-
gian ships by submarines, no less than
the remarkable German bomb plots
recently uncovered at Christiania. The
German campaign has already reduce
ed Norwegian shipping by almost one
third Of its total before-the-war ton
mage. If it is continued, it means
the practical elimination Of the ma
TONS shipping.
No Exports to Germany.
Norway is now exporting great
quantities Of fish, iron ore and nickel
to England, while exporting practical
" nothing to Germany. It is this fact,
1t is believed here, more than any,
thing else that impelled the German
authorities to try the terrorist scheme
Of having German agents smuggle
bombs into Norway to put aboard Nor
wegian ships-a deliberate effort to
wipe out Norway's merchant marine,
as well as to brighten her shippers and
her seamen.

Existing Distilled Spirits
No Enactment Early.

Washington, June 2S.-Food control
legislation assumed new and more
drastic form when the Senate agricul-
ture committee virtually redrafted
many Of the principal features of the
House measure and reported it with
material extensions of government
power and a new bone dry" prohibit
ton provision to stop manufacture Of
intoxicating beverages during the war.
The President would be authorized
to permit wine-making and to COM
mandeer existing distilled spirits.
The amended bill was presented to.
the Senate by Senator Chamberlain.
He will move to have it substituted
for the draft the Senate has been de-
batting.
No Enactment July 1.
The new prohibition plan, all lead
ers admitted, greatly complexities the
situation and precludes enactment of
the legislation by July l.
In extending the scope Of the legis-
lation the committee adopted amend
ments which would provide for govern.
ment control, in addition to- food,
feeds and fuel, of iron, steel, copper
and their products, farm implements
and machinery, fertilizers and binding
Irvine materials.
Other important amendments ap-,
proved would authorize the govern
ment to take over and operate facto-
ries, packing houses, oil wells and
mines, regulating wages of their en-
ployes and to commander supplies of
every kind when needed for the Army
and Navy ''or any other public use
connected with the public defense"
Another would empower the govern
ment to buy and sell for general civil
ian purposes, food, feeds and FUELS
with limitation on the general legisla-
ton making it apply to agencies and
products only in interstate or foreign
commerce.

CONCERNING The RAILROADS

Red Lake Falls Gazette: The Ga.
zette has been invited by certain Great
Northern officials to publish editorials
favoring the proposed Is per cent raise
in freight rates. We shall do nothing
of the kind for the reason that we are
not yet persuaded that the raise is
necessary and just. The Northern Pa
cifc Railroad company has just sub
scribed for $5,0OO,000 of the new Lib
erty Loan bonds and at that rate the
Great Northern can take half again as
much. That does not look as though a
raise in rates is imperative to save the
company from bankruptcy. Before
there is any raising of rates let us
have some guarantees from the com.
|panies regarding service: If the rail-
roads take advantage Of the war to re-
duce the already inadequate service
on branch lines, we are in favor of
legislation that will reduce the present
rates rather than increase them. Be-
fore authorizing the raising of rates
the Interstate Commerce commission
and the various state commissions will
do we'll to ascertain if a raise is abso-
lutely necessary to pay an adequate re-
turn upon bona fde not watered-
stock.

There is a sort OF irony in the fact
that the use of the waterways is be-
coming living issue through the in
adequacy of railroad transportation. j.
J. Hill used to argue that the railroads
would take care of the freight so well
and so cheaply that it would not pay
to use the rivers. If the rivers had
the boats and barges ready and the
cities the DOCKS and terminals, it would
mean tremendous relief to the nation:
To have such river as the Mississippi

I'd by the censor.) -Pershing's boys
are here.
Thousands of them came within the
last SO hours out of the misty. vast.
ness of the sea- U-boat infested sea
that held no terrors for them-not q
torpedo scratch on a transport, not
single man lost. Spick and span, with
weather-browned faces, their eyes
sparkling fight, every one of them
every inch man, they tramped down
the gang-ways to the strains of the
"Stars and Stripes" into a pandemo-
MUM of unending cheers.
They are already in camp itching to
get to the front. The camp is not far
from here. 1t is in charge Of General
William L. Sibert, who came in com.
mand Of the troops. Pershing is com.
ing over from Paris to greet them.
As these thousands of American
fighting lads poured off the transports,
scores of German prisoners stood on
the pier. Teeth set, they looked halt
sideways at these strapping newcom-
ers. Those who watched these pris'
oners could discern a grudging admir-
alton in their looks.
Reception Is Touching.
The remarkable thing about the
scenes attending the real entrance of
the United States into the world war
through the safe arrival of the expedi-
tionary force was the spontaneity, the
touching warmth, of their reception
here. Not an 1nkling Of the arrival
had leaked out beforehand. There had
been no preparation, no programs with
speeches and song, no reception com.
mittee or the like. Not until the trans
ports had safely arrived of this port
ready to disembark did the momentoua
news become known. Then the peo{i
pie simply got wild" here.
: The first transport stuck her grey
nose into the harbor in the early morn,
ing. The piers were swarming with
thousands. OF men there were few,
OF course, only aged and wounded; tho
others are at the front. The realiza1
ton that these newcomers are shortly
to fight side by side with the men Of
this port, who are already in the thick
of battle, drove the women frantic
with Joy and gratitude.
Disembark Without Hitch.
The Decentralization passed of in
the most orderly manner. There was
not the slightest hitch. Ship after
ship slipped into her berth discharging
men and equipment. Confusion SEEM
ed an unknown quantity to these
khaki-clad youth and their officers.
:, From the piers the American troops
swung off through the streets of this
port where the whole populace had
turned out to give them tremendoue
ovation. The crowds showered flow.
ers, fruits, cigarets and dainties upon
the marchers.
"Vive L Amerique!" was an unend1
ing cry. And as proof that but one
confident thought was in the hearts
of those cheering thousands, this
shout was repeated over and over
again: You'll chase the Germans out
Of our country"
I'VE WILL" came the thunderous
chorus from the Yankee boys.
For France, it was the proudest, tho
