owners to turn their animals loose on the noun
tain to trespass upon ranges that have long since

also use up our salt and kill many lambs and iniure
old sheep by running through the herds at night

more money than the average scrub horse that
infests the range, and cannot afford any longer

GERMAN LAUNDERING.

Only brief references to the case
Of the editor OF the Bonnet Rouge
have found their way into print in
America, but 1t is another instance
of the stupid laundering Of the
German government in its efforts to
spread propaganda.
The world has wondered at the
wonderful extent Of the German spy
system. and its lavish use Of men
and money in spreading German
Kultur. but all this costly effort has
been a boomerang to Germany. and
the stupidity of her diplomats, her
spies, her terrorists and her apostles,
has estranged most OF the civilized
world from her, and left her an out
cast nation.
The case Of the Bonnet Rouge is
typical OF the German thickheaded-
ness, for as was the case in Mexico,
and in Argentina. and in America,
and Brazil, they were found out,
and their efforts reacted.
The Bonnet Rouge was a weak,
wobbling little Paris daily. Sudden
ly it blossomed forth and began pay
ing big salaries in an effort to get
the best journalists of Paris on its
staff. 1t began a most aggressive
pacifst campaign, with a huge free
list Of subscribers both in Paris and
at the front. Strikes and labor trou-
bles were the first result of this cam
paign. Then Investigations began,
and It was discovered that the direc-
tor Of the paper made as many as
fifteen trips to Switzerland in a
year, and had received checks total
ling a huge sum from German bank
ers. The editor was arrested and
committed suicide, and the present
crisis in the French cabinet is the re-
suit of charges growing out of this
affair.
But as usual the incident has re-
acted against Germany. The expos
ure of the Bonnet Rouge has had the
effect Of reunitlng the French peo-
pie. Two months ago a fair peace
offer from Germany would have re-
ceived a generous measure of sup
port in France. Today French deter
mination to fight to the bitter end is
stronger than ever.
Belgium, the zeppelins over Eng
land, the Lusitania. the German press
in America, the submarine campaign,
the Argentina affair-one after an
other the bIunders of German diplo-
macy and German war methods have
estranged the world.
Treachery and cold calculating
brutality are having their reward.

SAYS OFFICERS OF
LAW OVER-LENIENT
States Attorney of Mercer County,
May Spring Sensations in Con-
neetion With Hazen Raid.

Hazen, N. D.. Sept. IA. - The
seizure Of three five-gallon kegs Of
whisky in a raid on Charles Ellis
worth's place here yesterday may
lead to preferring charges against
Sheriff William Haevisher of having
failed to rigidly enforce the laws
against blindpigging and gambling,
States Attorney H. L. Barry an
nounced during the course of an
investigation.
After examining several witnesses
this afternoon, the states attorney
declared the testimony tended to
show that bIindpigging and gamb-
ling had been INDUCED in rather too
freely, and that the evidence Nigh;
prove that the officers Of the law had
been inclined TO be over-lenient in
the matter.
The whisky seized yesterday had
been brought across the line from
Mondak, Mont. by automobile, and
it is alleged that a large number Of
valuable cargoes have come in by
this route.
Mr.. Barry advised today that a
careful investigation is being made,
but that he does not care to state at
present whether formal charges
against Sheriff Haevisher will be
filed with the governor.

guaranty of protection to Greeks liv-
ing in Turkey and Asia Minor where
we have over 5000, 900 Greeks engag-
ed in peaceful occupations, but con-
stantly under the menace of fearful
atrocities
The minister spoke of the recent
Balkan conference at Paris as highly
satisfactory in it's results.
The minister was asked if Greece
had an interest in the issue of ma
tionalities, between Serbia and Aus
tria, by which Serbia aspires to
detach the southern Slav rationale
ties from Austrian domination -
Croats. Serbs, Slovaks, etc. - and
mold them into great Slav state of
the Balkans.
"As the ally and one Of the near
est friends of Serbia we are natural
ly interested in seeing her aspira-
tons realized" said the minister. ct
is a noble aim that our Slav broth
ers have set before them, and those
wha know their tenacity and their
struggle through the centuries
against oppression have reason to
hope that Serbia will not only have
its territory restored, as the allied
powers demand, but that it will
emerge from this world conflict a
new and greater Serbia"
1T is as a sea power, of the east
ern Mediterranean and the Adriatic,
that Greece has its chief field of
activity" was suggested to the
minister.
ut is in the eastern Mediterranean,
and chiefly in the Aegean sea that
our field of influence lies" the minis
ter said. The Aegean we consider
a Greek sea, and her Greek influence
prevails through all the islands, down
to Asia Minor. AS to the Island of
Cyprus, now owned by England, it
was offered to Greece during the
regime of King Constantine, on
condition that Greece would immedi-
ately enter the war with the allies.
But as we did not Immediately take
part in the war, the offer does not
hold good"

Special Agent Mcdonald win re-
main in Fargo until about Get. Is,
handling the labor situation for the
government from this point, keeping
in touch with the state agricultural
department daily. He has been sta
toned at Bismarck since July IS, and
believes that his transfer to Fargo
was directed on the ground that
tbreshing has been about completed
in the Slope district and the south
western part of the state.
up until just lately, help has bean
scarce in North Dakota and IL the
western and southwestern sections

fifteen to twenty men were needed in
the Slope country COMPARED with
twenty to thirty men on each crew
as in previous years.
According to the special labor
agent the call for help is now from

was stationed in the state during the
early part Of the summer and with
whom the police department worked

agriculture.
Mr.. Mcdonald says the hay situa-
ton in the western part of North
Dakota is serious and that the farm
ers are not hesitating a moment to
sell their stock. He says he knows
OF no remedy at the present time and
anticipates a very severe winter for
stock because OF this shortage due to

War Departments Lessons For
Men of The National Army

2. Aggressive leadership, especial
ly In drilling, marching, and fighting.
3. Ability to act as instructors.
4. Thorough knowledge of the
elements of field service.
s. Thorough knowledge Of inter
ior guard duty.
6. Skill in range finding and in
estimating distances so as to assist
men in firing accurately.
z. Proficiency in leading patrols.
8. Ability to prepare written mes
sages that are clear, complete, and
concise.
.. Ability to sketch and read
maps.
This list will suggest some OF the
lines along which you should work,
whenever you have the chance.
Many Of the noncommissioned off,
GERS in the National army will be
chosen, not only because of the
knowledge or skill they already pos
sess, but also because they show
capacity for further development and
for leadership.
Developing SoIdisrIy Qualities.
This question of winning promo
ton all comes back to the question
Of making yourself thorough
SOiQleTJ Oh demonstrating IHdI you
possess loyalty, disciplined obed-
fence, physical fitness. intelligence,
cleanliness, cheerfulness, spirit, ten
acity, and f-reliance-the nine
qualities Of a soldier.
The National army must At itself
for effective service at the front in
the shortest possible time. To ac-
complish this result IL must produce
out Of its own ranks men who are
fitted for promotion first to places
as noncommissioned officers, either
in the first contingent or more prob
ably in later contingents.
This need is your opportunity. It
is an opportunity not merely for
personal advancement-which in
time of war is a small thing to work
for--but more than that, an oppor-
tunity to render to your country the
most effective service of which you
are capable. Strive to fit yourself
for the duties and responsibilities of
leadership. Make yourself count to
the utmost in the victorious defense
Of American rights and principles to
which the National army will devote
itself.
