Do You Know
on Timely Topics
Compiled by The Forum.

Do you know what preparations to
make for the life Of q soldier?
The Plattsburg manual gives the
following advice:
Your life at a federal training
camp in regard to food exercise,
hours of sleep, surroundings 'ard
comforts will differ greatly from that
which you are now leading. You will
submit your body to a sudden severe
physical test. In order to prepare
your body for this change in manner
Of living and work. We recommend
that for a short time prior to your
arrival in camp and thereafter you
observe the following suggestions:
1. Use no alcohol of any kind.
2. Stop smoking. or at least be
temperate in the use of tobacco.
8. Eat and drink moderately.
Chew your food well. 1t is advisable,
however, to drink great deal of
cool (not cold) water between meals.
4. Don't eat between meals.
5. Accustom yourself to regular
hours as to sleeping, eating and
morning functions.
6. Keep away from all soda foun-
tains and soft drink stands.
Z. For at least two weeks prior to
your arrival at camp take setting up
exercises regularly.
Most men are troubled with their
feet during the first week of each
camp, usually because they do not
observe the following precautions:
/. If you ever have trouble with
the arches Of your feet, wear braces
for them.
2. Lace your shoes as tightly as
comfort will permit.
8. Wash the feet daily.
4. Every morning shake a little
talcum powder or footease in each
shoe.
s. Each morning put on a fresh
pair OF socks. Your socks should At
your feet so neatly that no wrinkles
remain in them and yet not so tightly
that they bind the foot. Do not wear
a sock with a hole in It or one that
has been darned.
s. Do not wear silk or cotton socks
until you have given light wool socks
q fair trial. Some men cannot wear
with comfort light wool socks.
z. Most foot troubles are caused
by wearing shoes that do not fit prop
erIy. If the shoe is too large 1t ruba
blisters, IL too small 1t cramps the
foot and causes severe pain. March
ing several hours while carrying
about thirty pounds OF equipment
causes each foot to expand at least
one -half size In length and CORE
spondingly in breadth; hence the size
OF the shoe you wear in the Office will
be too small for training camp use.
II you have been living a Bndentary
life, ask for pair of shoes larger
than you ordinarily wear.

AN INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAY.

Independence day, yesterday, was
celebrated not only in America, but
In half of Europe as well.
The Stars and Stripes fioated over
the Parliament buildings in England.
The American commission in Russia
was honored by the newest republic,
and in France the day could not
have been distinguished from an
American Fourth. The American
troops paraded in Paris, and the
Stars and Stripes foated from hun
dreds of buildings.
The Fourth marks the virtual end
Ing Of the first three months Of
Americas participation in the war,
and the record of this country's
achievements Is unequalled by that
Of any of the European allies. The
country has readjusted it's entire life
TO wartime needs. Already Ameri-
can troops are in France. and they
were escorted through the submarine
gone by American war vessels which
have been there for weeks.
II any American takes the scoffing
Of Germany seriously, some of the
less spectacular but no less impor-
tant achievements might be re-
counted.
They include:
The registering of 100000 men
Cor the great war army: the arming
of merchantmen which have already
taken their toll of U-boats: q great
ship-building program already I'M
der way; the raising of a loan Of
two billions Of dollars. and the loan
ing Of half of it to the Allies; a
hundred millions to finance the Red
Cross, and American base hospitals
already established; a program Of
food administration which is the
equal of that of any of the Allies:
an espionage law; great war
budget; a priority bill; legislation
that will be a more effective block
ade Of German ports than all the
English feet can enforce; the taking
over of the patrol of the entire
American coast; the recruiting Of
the navy to $4,000 men from 10000:
the recruiting of the army from $780,
900 to 100000; the recruiting Of the
national guard from 10000 to $780,
900; the recruiting of the marine
corps from 100000 to 100000:
training camps for $4,000 nearly
ready to turn out their first install
ment; sixteen military cities for the
new army of $4,000 men, nearly
one-third built; the decision to
spend from $500, 100000 to $1,000, OO0.-
900 for a great aircraft feet, and the
beginning of the training of the men
TO man it.
That, in part, is Americas answer
to the silly German boast that
America would cut no figure in the
war this year.
The United States never had q
better excuse for celebrating the
Fourth.

THE MOB SPIRIT.

Mobs are terrifying in their capac-
ity' for sheer brutality, mad unreal
soning bloodthirstiness, and utter
cruelty.
The horrors of the mob spirit have
never been better exemplifed in
America, at least, than in the race
rioting at East st. Louis. Ill. =
Perhaps not since the French rev.
olution have such scenes Of mob vio-
lence been witnessed.
Men seemed to be carried away
with a sheer lust for blood. They
did not confine their attentions to the
young men against whom their only
possible grievance lay, but aged,
helpless negroes were shot down,
beaten, tortured.
The women were fully as vicious
and bloodthirsty as the men. Let
the women have the wenches' was
the cry Of the mob, and negro women
were stripped of their clothes, beaten
with clubs, and chased through the
streets.
East st. Louis is dumping ground
for st. Louis. 1t is city of saloons
and road houses. It is an excellent
example of a wide open town.
About the only respectable element
in the city is composed of the labor
ing men employed in the warehouses.
Tkepe laboring men felt that the in
Aux Of negro laborers from the south
was menacing their source of liveli-
hood, and making the residence part
Of the city far less desirable. This
grievance against the negro has been
smouldering for months. but any
demonstration that might have been
made by these men would undoubt-
edly have been peaceful IL it had not
been for the scum of both cities
the thugs, thieves, and denizens OF
the underworld who were only too
ready for an opportunity to riot.
It sounds almost trite to denounce
the brutality Of the mob. 1t is almost
inconceivable that such a dastardly
crime could be committed in a TWEEN
tieth century city in America.
The most striking lesson that can
be drawn from it. is the danger of
irciting the mob spirit. The Amer
ican people are keyed to high pitch.
Their emotions have been played
upon for months by the tragedy OF
war. The agitator is like a spark on
q dry prairie. The mob spirit feeds
upon itself. Men in a mob will COM
init atrocities Of which they would
never believe themselves capable.
Probably 80 per cent Of the men and
women In the East st. Louis riots
had no direct interest in the condi-
fions created BY the influx Of ne
roes. They wereeaimply a part o.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task of
Keeping Up With North Da--
kota Editors.

The Bismarck Tribune takes this
little fling at the German language
press:
ut used to be said Of the Bourbon
kings Of France that they learned
nothing OF the new and forgot moth
ing old. The same is very largely
true of the German Language papers
in our large cities. They cannot
learn anything OF the Americanism
of this country in which they are
suffered to exist. They cannot for
get anything of their old admiration
and allegiance to the kaiser and his
henchmen. They have mistaken our
sy-going American tolerance for
license"
Says The New Rockford State
Center:
"A contented citizenship is the ma
TONS best defense. A country that
insures q fair days wage for fair
days work-a wage proportional to
the cost of living-will never lack
for defenders. Such q country is
worth defending, worth fighting for.
The first duty of a nation therefore,
iseto insure such social and economic
conditions as will insure the content
ment of all her people and especially
Of her working people"

The hog and sheep shortage has
been acute from the start At no time

equaled those received during the
winter and spring of 1916. The aver

market for the first six months was
$4,000 head, while sheep showed ar
average decrease of nearly $500 head.
The country crop is not large enough
to overcome the deficit and probably

JAPAN'S AMBITION
 INTERESTS POWERS

Washington, May 1.-The Foreign Offices, of European Governments, as well as the State Departments here, are taking an interest in the strong movement in Japan for the assump- ton of hegemony over Asia. Jap anese publications which reach here from time to time show that writers in Japan are consistently demanding a radical change in the foreign pol icy of the Tokio government. Their slogan appears to be Asia for the Asiatics."
 Ire. of the bo1dest of these utter snces is by the editor in chief of the Chuwo Koron Central Review), MT. Unosuke Wakamiya, who has na- tlonal reputation as a sociologist. In concluding his article which contains many strictures on Western powers and Western civilization, the Japanese editor says:
 ''In short, Westerners exclude Asi- atics wherever possible. They take every opportunity to establish their powers, whether in the West or in the East, by robbing the Asiatics of their future. Westerners are selfish and self-centred The fate of Asia is now hanging in the balance. Filth CT the Asiatics must submit to the selfish will of the Westerners or strike out for themselves by estab- fishing 8 Great Asia policy to restrain the WeSterners.'

U. S. ARMY TO USE
 FRENCH PLANES

Washington, May 1.-The United States has been forced to go to France to obtain aeroplanes for it's army. Ma chimes of American manufacture have failed to meet the War Department tests, it was learned to-day. AS re- suit contracts for supplying the entire army of 100000 men will be placed abroad.
 An initial order for 1900 machines already has been placed, it is under stood, and further contracts are to be made which will run into the tens of thousands. The Advisory Conmis- sion on Aviation has notified the War Department that France will be able to supply all the machines needed by the American army.
 These facts became known recently in connection with the first open move Of the Government to put the air ser vice on war footing, This was the appointments of Professor Hiram Bingham, Yale University, to be di- rector of cadet instruction, Profes- sor Bingham has been attached to the office of Brigadier- General George V.
