is a step forward Il course it is
taken because congress has compelled
the Council of Defense by an amend

of the profiteers. Still, the step is
TAKEN. And there is real humor in

Explanation Made.
The council offers this explanation:
The purpose of this action is to eX-
pedite the work of the government,
] to furnish needed assistance to the
departments engaged in making war
purchases, to devolve clearly and
! definitely the important tasks indi-
Gated upon direct representatives of
the government not interested in COM
mercial and industrial activities with
! which they will be called upon to
deal, and to ma Se clear that there is
total DISSATISFACTION Of the industrial
committees from the actual arrange
uent of purchases. on behalf Of tie

When citizen Of Belgium, driven
from his home by an invading foreign
enemy can discuss calmly the UNDER

remedy which makes no appeal to
force or hatred, it should be easy for
Americans to do the same. The Bel

prominent manufacturer of, Charleroi
and a member of the Societe d'Econo-
mique of Paris. At present he is a
refugee living in New York city. In
recent message to the. Society of
Friends and other Christians" Mr..
Lambert calls upon them to consider
practical methods of establishing in

HELPING OUT
THE BIG FELLOWS
(Frorl the Mesaba Ore.)

(Fror, the Mesaba Ore)
Governor Burrquist, with his char
acteristic littlenesj of mind and
spirit, is trying to shift the RESPONSE
bility of deliberate omission Of
duty onto the shoulders of another.
and is meeting with the same degree
Of success that accompanied all of
his slight-of-hand performances.
The labor unions of the state woke
up one morning to discover that the
governor had neglected (failed or re-
fused) to appoint labor representa-
tive as a member of the Minnesota
Public Safety Commission, after hav-
ing promised to do so. When caught
up with the aH-too-evident slap at
labor, the governor tried to shift tho
blame onto Senator Richard Jones of
D 'luth, and the senator tells about
it, in another section of the Ore to-
day.
The Safety Commission was not
created an the membership appoint
ments thereon were not intended to
b. in any way Of benefit to the labor
ing man. On the contrary, it was

labor in the state, and Governor
Burnquist saw to it that only men
who could be trusted with the
work" in hand were given places ON
the commission. A labor representa-
tive on the commission might have
disrupted the carefully laid plan.
The difference between Senator
Jones and Governor Burnquist is that
the senator is an honest man "a rare
thing in MINI csota politics) and
plays the game on the square with
everybody, while the governor is MT
honest and is drawing a big salary
from the state simply for dancing

CLEAR STATEMENT ON
AMERICAN WAR AIMS,
CONGRESSMAN URGES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Repre-
sentative Sweet of Iowa Monday told
the house that Americas war aims
should be mole clear. stated.
In a speech c: ii: j.; on congress to
give the army and navy unlimited
support, and to give the president
every necessary power to carry on the
war, Sweet urged there be a revi-
sion Of the war aims of the entente
powers.
1.-The newspapers" Sweet said, "be-
lieve that our government should
take the initiative in this matter. They
realize this nation now is engaged in
a world movement, and that oneness
in thought and action among our peo-
pie is essential"

ually; therefore in harmony and peace:
Seek We first the Kingdom of God and
His Justice, and all these things shall-
be added unto YOU"
Let it. be noted that Mr.. Lar,bert's
proposal is not merely the abolition Of
tariffs and other artificial obstacles
to ire irrational trade. I implies the
rellCva! Of internal obstructio1s and
all interferences with productions.
The doctrine that God has not given
the lands to the nations but to hui
ms'njty" implies that individ uals must
not be allowed to withhold lands t; at
others desire to use. And free trade
implies tl!c.t internal taxes levied IN
labor or it's products are evils that
Should lie removed, even as import
duties should be.
Mr.. Lambert has pointed out what
must be done to put an end to war
Nations have hitherto relied on phys
ical forces as means Of defense. The
establishment of economic justice will
make that unnecessary.

CHARGES TRUST FIXES
PRICE ONU. S. FLAGS:
GOVERNMENT PROBE?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE
trade commission has discovered a
trust in the manufacture of Ameri-
can flags.
A report to congress by the COM
mission deals primarily with the I'M
precedented heights to which tho
price Of American flass assembled i'm
mediately after the outbreak of the
war. The price Of flass has adj
vanced from 100 to 500 per cent over
the 1916 price.
The commission finds the present
price situation in the flag industry
was due to the unprecedented popu-
lar demand for flags. 1t is FURTHER
found by the commission that activi-
ties of present and former members
of an association among flagmakers
have been largely responsible f.r
price fixing in the flag industry and
have also contributed to the present
abnormal high price situation.
The record of its activities has
been called to the attention Of the de-
partment Of justice. e..

preached before on the presentation Of DIE feature pictures in connection With its regular vaudeville programme, but It has never yielded to such requests un- til now and th.s Is because the produc- tion is so big and is picture that every one should see.
 This picture will be presented for the first time in Birmingham at the Lyric and they are to be shown at every Keith vaudeville theatre in the United States. The proceeds from the sale of the picture go to the war relief fund.
 With the coming of the British official war pictures, ."The Retreat of the Ger mans at the Battle of Arras,' one big thing stands out significally, and that IS that never will the Germans be able to deny their horrible crimes in Belgium and France The printed word might be denied, because it could be contended tha, 1t is biased, but motion pictures actually taken on the firing line as these have been cannot be said to lie.
 1t was for the purpose of preserving for posterity the truth of the great world war that the British war office has filmed and will continue to film the most inn portant events and battles. And 1t was also for the purpose of showing the United States what Germany has done to crush France and Belgium and what the alies have done to repel them that these pictures have been sent here to tour the Orpheum circuit.
 A mute but forceful witness to the in human atrocities perpetrated by the war crazed Teutons, these pictures tell the story of the great German retreat at Arras as no written word could tell It. Complete in every detail, and photo- graphically perfect, these pictures show the wanton destruction done by the flee- ing Germans for no military reason. but merely to satisfy their craving for laying everything to waste.
 They show actual fighting at close range, trench attacks, artillery fire, poison gas attacks, airplane battles. etc.
