Somewhere in North Dakota, Aug
ust 20 Company G Of Grafton made a
highly successful drive against the
trenches of Co. M Of Grand Forks,
and when the smoke of battle cleared
away it was found that the Grafton
ties had captured 16 tallies while one
raid by the M boys resulted in the
enemy's defense for a single tally.
The intensive bombardment of the
Grafton artillery drove Jeliff from the
mound for the home team at the end
of the fifth inning. He vas succeeded
by Frank Duggan. who conducted the
hostilities until the end of the sew
.enth. when the game was called.
Backus was in charge of the firing
line for the visitors, and kept up. a
battle.
It Was a Rout.
During the first two innings the To-
Gals kept up a good defense against
the Grafton ca~nnonade, but their lines
were pierced in the third inning and
from that time on the defeat rapidly
became a rout.
The heaviest bombardment came in
the sixth and seventh innings when
the visitors annexed six and four tai
lies respectively.
Monley made the successful attack
for Grand Forks in the fifth inning,

WILSON'S REPLY TO THE POPE

President Wilson's reply to the pope is a clear and convlnc-
ing statement of the position of ourselves and our allies. He is
touched by the popeis earnest appeal for peace and he does not
refuse to entertain the thought of peace, but peace must not be
q mere cessation of the conflict; it must be a stable and endur-
ing peace.
The object of this war, the president reiterates, is to de-
liver the free people of the world from the menace and the
actual power of a vast military establishment controlled by an
irresponsible government, which, having secretly planned to
dominate the world, proceeded to carry out the plan in viola
ton of sacred treaties and of the laws of God and man and
flooded Europe with not only the blood of soldiers but of inno-
cent women and children which has made it the enemy of
four-fifths of the world.
The imperial German government is not the German peo-
pie. 1t is the ruthless master of the German people and, as the
president says, it is our business to see that the history of the
rest of the world is no longer left to it's handling. Such a peace
as the pope proposes, he points out, would permit the imperial
German government to recuperate its military strength and
renew its policy, and would make it necessary to create a hos
tile league of nations against the German people. Russia
would be at Germany's mercy. This war must not be fought
again.
We cannot make peace with the imperial German govern.
ment as now constituted. AS President Wilson declares, We
cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as n
guarantee of anything that is to endure unless explicitly sup
ported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of
the German people themselves as others would be justified in
accepting. We cannot trust the kaiser and his advisers.
Germany, though not yet defeated, has failed to win this
war. The plan of the kaiser and his military chiefs to defy and
defeat their foes in one swift campaign has gone wrong, and
they now seek time to recuperate and then revert to the plan
of Frederick the Great and Bismarck, namely, to pick quarrels
and fight the nations they would conquer one by one.
President Wilson has again made clear to Americans why
they are at war, and he has assured our allies that we shall
stand shoulder to shoulder with them to the bitter end. No
doubt he speaks for them in his reply to His Holiness, for
whose sincerity of purpose he expresses profound admiration.

BRAINS

To win this war the federal government is conscriptng
brains as well as men and capital. The president of the United
States can obtain the services of the ablest men in the country:
but he cannot ask congress to pay them. A man of prominence
has been engaged at a salary of one dollar a year to do import
ant work for the federal government. If congress were asked
to appropriate money to pay such men, demagogues would
froth at the mouth when denouncing the appointment of those
who did not need jobs and would not deliver votes in return
for favors.
We have not waded very deep into this war, but the papers
are already carrying stories of excessive prices paid for certain
military supplies bought in the regular way by officers on tho
permanent staff.
Few officers of the army and navy and few officials in the
war and navy departments are practical business men or have
a chance to learn the art of buying and selling merchandise.
AT times not a single officer or offcial. in the purchasing de-
partments could be named who understood business methods.
They may know something about the quality of the stores, but
they have no more idea of how to get at the fair market price
than a five-year-old child. When they buy direct they pay any
price the dealer asks and when they buy by tender they do not
know whether the price is reasonable ornot.
What they lack in business acumen they make up in red
tape, and many of our best manufacturers and merchants will
not consider a government contract for supplies because there
is no satisfaction in dealing. with buyers who are not business
men and who favor the fellow that approaches them hat in
hand and pretends to treat them as superior beings because
they wear a uniform or sit at a mahogany desk in the war de-
partment.
President Wilson has found it necessary to go outside the
ranks of officialdom and secure the services of some of the
these men without pay because it would be useless to ask con-
gress to appropriate money for such invaluable services. Other
countries are able to draft such men into public life because
their services are appreciated.
The business men will see that the nation receives full
value for its money and that the machinery of gathering and
distributing men and supplies works efficiently. Already the
railroad situation has improved. The directing head at Wash
ington, who has no official title but knows the railroad bust.
ness, has been able to exercise a little authority over shippers
and consigners, and the lack of freight cars has been minimized
by prompt loading and unloading and general speeding up of
traffic.
These wartime experiments seem to encourage the social
lists. Socialism could not deevlop such business men as Presi-
dent Wilson has cOnscripted to serve without pay. COMPETE
ton sharpened their wits in their early days and socialism
would destroy competiti6h.~, Men of proved business ability
would enjoy public life in this country just as they do in Eng
land and France if the people and their representatives would
thank them for working:-Nsw York Commercial.

Corporation batting in congress has resulted in some sur
prises. Many senator's and representatives are hearing from
constituents who own a few shares of stock and from small
communities whose prosperity depends on local industries to
establish which the people have contributed money, land and
other inducements. All over the country small industries have
been struggling for years to keep going and many of them have
made relatively large profits in the last two years. AS com
Dared with results prior to the war the "war profits" of these
small concerns show gains of several hundred per cent and To-
cal investors see chances to get back the money they thought
was sunk in ventures not likely to pay dividends. These hopes
will vanish if war profits are confiscated by such taxes as some
senator's are now advocating.
Large corporations will be heavily taxed, but they will
have soemthing to show in the shape of enlarged plants and
are trying to salvage their financial wreckage will be worse
off at the end of the war with their wOrn-Out machinery to
show for their work if the government takes so per cent of the
first clear profit they ever made.
1t is probable that congress will take a sane and statesman
like view of this tax problem now that it has heard from the
small people who would be crushed by attacks on corporations
in which they have interests. This country must remain CON
structive in the midst of war. We can learn much from Japan.

OUR EMBARGO AND ITS VALUE

President Wilson's embargo proclamation strikes a severe
blow at Germany. The list of forbidden exports is long and
complete. This move is made at the right time. The harvest
is now in progress and it will be comparatively easy to find out
to what extent their own crops will supply the domestic re-
on trade with Germany.
If these neutrals sell to Germany the foodstuffs they pro-
duce at home they will not be permitted to replenish their
stores by purchasing from us. They must account for their
own products as well as for their imports. If Sweden, for in
stance, imports grain from Russia, heEimports from the United
States will be reduced to that extent. We shall not tempt
Swedish merchants to sell to our foes. This is arbitrary, but il
is war and these neutrals have been coming money by selling
to Germany. They have the legal right to do so, but we have
the same right to refuse to help them make money in that way
when they help our enemies by so doing.
This being the harvest season all the countries involved in
this embargo can start with a clean slate. In the last crop year
these European neutrals sold all they could to Germany and
bought from us and others to supply their own requirements.
They ran short before the present harvest and came to us for
help. Their necessities were due to their cupidity and they
pretended to ignore the change created by our formal entry into
the war last April.
If we do no more than declare and enforce this embargo
we shall greatly assist our allies in winning this war. Ger
lands of Russia. If the Russian armies refuse to fight Ger
manys food problem will be solved by the seizure of the Bessar1
abian harvest. If Germany cannot obtain food in that way
our embargo will probably bling her to her knees before next
spring. Before the snow flies we shall know whether Germany
has found a way to find herself or face starvation and exhaus-
ton of raw materials for the conduct of the war. If Germany
cannot draw on Russia for supplies our embargo may be the
deciding blow.
