A GERMAN:AMER|CAINR REPLY
What the Organizations Might
Have Said to the Enemy
New York Times.l

"The attitude of the National Secur-
ity league to the argument that many
of the German-American organizations
already have declared their allegiance
is that 1t would do no harm to repeat
their declarations"
Kindly allow me to suggest that it
might do an immense service If the
many German-American organizations
were to set aside all babbling about
the crisis being painful and vital"
(what does Henry Weissmann mean
by vital" in his letter to Mr.. S. Stan.
wood Menken?) 1t would clear the
atmosphere for the Kaiser and his
junkers admirably, incidentally for
themselves and for the German peo-
pie, if the German-American organiza-
tons were to issue such a statement,
for example, as follows:
We, the United German-American
organizations Of America, bid defiance
by word of mouth and with force of

" Shooting of Jack De

| society take care it carries out its
duty to the mother.
This girl-for she is little more
than girl, beautiful, cultured, REIN
ed-was wooed and won by De Saul
les, who pursued her to Paris to press
his suit. He is reported to have said
of her that he thought her the most
beautiful woman in the world.
Idealized in this way, she undoubt-
eddy believed that she would always
hold the affections of her husband.
But few years shattered her
dream. She was compelled to sue
for divorce because another woman
had entered her husbands life.
With nothing left of her love-life
except her boy, she found that she
would not even have him. The court
decreed that the erring father was to
have the child part of the year.
The young mother, torn with an
guish at not being able to have her
child with her, with her love.life shat
tered, simply became temporarily un-
balanced. The tragedy was the re-
suit
The lesson is that man-made
institutions, and man.controlled
courts, ought not to try to take
children away from their mothers.
Children were made principally
for mothers, just as mothers were
made for children. Something
will break down when men try to
destroy this relation.
Please do not understand me to say
that any woman is justified in taking
a revolver and shooting the person
who may happen to stand between
herself and her child, but thing of
that kind is quite likely to happen IL

URGES PRISON LABOR
ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS

In magazine article published un-
der his name, S. M. Williams, general
sales manager of the Garford Motor
Truck company, makes strong plea
for the use of prison labor, under
proper conditions, in the construction
and maintenance Of public highways
He urges this step, he says, not SIM
ply because of the economic benefits
to be derived from the labor itself, but
also because its value in physical and
normal reform.
His article, in part, follows:
"The public generally has been OPP
posed to the employment of prison
labor-often because Of unwarranted
prejudices. The same feeling has
caused condemnation of the exposure
of prisoners on the public roads I'm.

Many Enjoy Dress
Parade and Fine
Concert at Fort

Last evenings beautiful weather
brought out scores of Bismarck folk
and visitors from the Slope for the
dress parade and band concert at FIT
Lincoln. The Second regimental band
played for dress parade and retreat
The boys of the Second battalion
made an excellent showing, and the
ceremony of lowering the colors at
shutdown was made very impressive
by the bands playing of the national
anthem as the troops stood at atten-
ton and the spectators looked on with
barred heads.
Following retreat, the Second regi-
ment band treated the visitors to an
hours concert in front of Major
Wright's residence. Two violin selec-
,tions by little Roberta Best, accom-
panied by her sister, Marjory, added
to the pleasure of the recital, which
was the best the military band has
given since its arrival here.
