Can Be No NeutrdlS In
War, Says Judge Cole;
Young Scores The Huns
Enemies "Without Out Gates" Condemned By Speak
er at Monday Celebration, as Dangerous as Enc
mics in Germany Patriotic Demon
stration Prove Big Success

"EIe who is not with us is against
US; there can be no neutrals among
us in this war on autocracy," Hon.
A. 7. Cole, Fargo. judge Of the Third
judicial district, speaking on The
Loyalty Of Labor on the program
following the parade in honor Of
Fargo and Cass county's drafted
men and labor, told a large audience
assembled around the bandstand in
Island park Monday afternoon.
I'VE have to take sides with the
loyal and patriotic people who are
standing back of the administration
in this war. II we do not do this
whole-heartedly and unreservedly,
we are against ii. We cannot be
for both autocracy and democracy.
IL we are not squarely back of our
country in this war we are not for
democracy, but for autocracy. There
is no halfway ground"
Judge Cole related a conversation
which he once had with a German
editor, in which the latter said that
when the kaiser got too meddlesome
and too autocratic the German peo-
pie would arise and overthrow him.
That is just what they viii do"
said Judge Cole. The kaiser has
become too meddlesome and too
autocratic, and once the German
people carry out that dietor's threat,
we will have peace. Our war Is not
with the German people, but with
the kaiser and the military regime
that he represents
Pays Tribute To Labor
Tr HE address, TEqHgo Cola
paid a tribute to labor declaring
that labor in the United States is
equal to any other class in patriotism
and needed no special plea in its
behalf.
Labor is in need of no special
plea at the hands of US who are
gathered here" said Judge Cole. THE
laborers of the United States are
equal to any other class of it's citi-
zenship in patriotism, and deserve
much credit for the loyalty shown
by the men in responding to the
call of the country. IT is the rank
and file of the people Of the nation
that has to do the lighting, and we
can depend upon the American la
borer to take the right stand when
it comes to waging a war for
democracy"
Can Ee NO DfWlstons
There can be no division among
us on this war;" said Hon. N. C.
Young, Fargo, the second speaker
on the program. We all have to
think the same way about it, ana
those who are not with US had better
get out while the getting is good.
I'VE cannot and will not tolerate
a FIRE in the rear that would in any
way jeopardize the welfare Of the
brave men who will go to make up
our national army.
I'VE have the Huns to fight in the
trenches in France, but we have
our Huns at home, against whom we
will wage just as relentless war.
Have Hard Fight Ahead.
I'VE have a hard fight ahead, an
enormous task, but we are going into
il strong, and we are going in to
win, even if it takes our last dollar

and the last drop Of blood in our
veins"
The subject of Mr.. Young's ad-
dress was The Men Of the National
Army.
Parade Is Big Feature.
The parade, which preceded the
program IN the Fargo college stadium
and Island park. was a big feature.
Forming at the Company B armory
at the foot of Broadway, the military
organizations Of Fargo and Moor
head, headed by the Fargo band,
marched up Broadway to opposite the
Powers hotel where the marchers re-
formed, and right about faced" for
the triumphant march through the
two cities.
Heading the parade were six off,
GERS of the Fargo police department,
including Chief Lewis Dahlgren and
Sergeant Morton Sydness Next was
the Fargo band. Then came Com
pany B, n. d. n. G., in full uniform
and rifles; Battery F, Second Min
nesota artillery; the Moorhead Home
guard in uniform; Fargo Home
guard in uniform; motor trucks and
hook -and-ladder wagons Of the Far
go fire department, followed by a
score or more of automobiles carry
ing Fargo and Cass county drafted
nen, representatives Of the Fargo
Trades g. Labor assembly and citi-
Zens.
The line of march was down Broad
way to N. P. avenue, then across 10
Moorhead and back by the way OF
Front street. Immense crowds that
thronged the line Of march cheered
as the marchers passed.
Drills In The Stadium.
A large crowd had gathered in the
Fargo college stadium when the
marchers returned.
After entering the stadium bowl.
the marchers gathered around the flag
pole in front of the grandstand, and
stood at attention while the crowd in
a standing position and with heads
barred watched members Of Company
B, in charge Of Captain r. F. E. Col
ley. fling Old Glory to the breeze.
Drills by the Home guards and
Company B followed, after which II
was announced that the program Of
addresses would be from the band
stand in Island park.
Many Hear Addresses.
The majority Of the crowd in the
tadium heard the addresses by Hon.
A. T. Cole and Hon. n. G. Young,
both of which were roundly applaud
ed. Several selections by the Com
pany B quartet drew a big hand.
Hon. V. r. Lowell, chairman Of the
Fargo Home Defense league, was
master of ceremonies.
Affair Is Huge Success.
The parade and the program that
followed was a huge success from
every angle, and a fitting honor to
the drafted men Of Fargo and Cass
county and organized and morgan
lied labor. The parade was without
doubt the largest military demon
stration ever held in Fargo, while en-
thusiasm that marked the drills and
addresses was symbolic Of the spirit
of the time and the patriotism of
Fargo residents.
The parade and program was ar
ranged and staged under the aus
pices Of the Fargo Home Defense
league and the Fargo Home guard.

that no place OF entertainment should

full than drafted men; they enlisted
from inclination or patriotism. after
counting the cost. But the cheerful
| ness is not all native; it is largely the
consequence of satisfactory conditions
A sandy soil gives clean, dry streets
and roads; even the enlisted men have
electric lights in their tents; the post
exchange sells them all the little lux
uries of life at q reasonable price; the
food is good and plentiful, as I found
by messing with the privates; play is
literally interspersed with work; the
officers show a spirit of comradery;
health is far above normal: and the
great adventure looms UP as a real ex-
perience of the soul.
The last item above I use after care
full reflection. When the majority of
the Nationals Guard enlisted, thew
knew the issues. But no chances are
taken. In one of the vast Chautauuua
tents of the Young Mems Christian
Association l sat on the back row and
listened to lecture by Frank Dixon,
of New York, on THE Causes of the
War" Three thousand men in khaki
also listened and app1auded. The
speaker told about little Belgium, the
men OF Louvain and Antwerp, and how
they fought and died for the sanctity
of international law; he pictured the
raped women and the orphaned chill
dren and the desolated homes; he de-
scribed the ruined churches and demol-
ished universities and RACED libraries;
he stated the law of vicarous suffering
how those splendid heroes had borne
all and given all to save us from the
barbarities of a false principle of self
expression known as Kultur; he
sketched how England had obeyed the
rule of honor when self interest told
her to stand aside; he lamented our
early dimness of vision concerning the
issues involved, and our slow enlight-
eminent and ultimate awakening; and
he finished by proving that everything
worth living for worth fighting for,
worth dying for was at stake. In con-
clusion he told the men that their cour-
age, their devotion, their discipline,
their toll of casualties, were necessary,
in the last ditch, to save civilization
and Christianity from falling forever
under the bIighting curse of a triumph
antly brutal paganism. When the men
left the tent, their shoulders were
squarer and their jaws firmer and
their eyes brighter-they were crusa-
ders, and the pride of their consecra~
ton was clear

another startling statement. Although

a thing is almost beyond belief. The

All my preconceptions went by the

the Thirteenth intimately, from ten
years of service as chaplain. When
laid down my commission about four

Guard regiment, well differed proud

ragged about the edges. Our annual
encampments were jolly affairs,
Streaked with conviviality (not to any
excess, as National Guard units then
went), and the serious side of soldier

weeks of the year precluded the pos

on their men.
1t so happened that I was with the
regiment on October II of this year,
when the higher command moved
