OTHER MEMS VIEWS.
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.
From the New Republic.

All the governments are under fire.
In spite Of the heavy censorship the
muttering in Russia increases, France
shifts uneasily, Mr.. Lloyd Georges
government is by no means as strong
as it was, there is decided friction be-
tween German factions and the
dominant party in Austria Hungary,
and the German chancellor appears to
be wavering between German liberals
and German conservatives. Bethmann-
Hollweg is known to be politically
weak, and the struggle in Germany
has grown more intense. One need
not quote Macmillan Harden to sus-
tain this assertion. The utterances
of the Socialists, of men like Dernburg.
OF papers like The Berliner Tageblatt
are holder than ever. The power of
the reichstag has grown since the be-
ginning of the war, and things are
said and done openly in Germany that
were unthinkable a year ago. The
lesson for this country is to keep a
free hand and be ready to adjust itself
quickly to changes as they may occur.
Our government will serve nobody well
by merely passive acquiescence and
the wrong kind Of humility. Events
are set on a hair trigger. Along with
thorough preparation to play a part
in the war, our government needs to
keep it's international policy flexible in
order that it may seize and control
what the uncertain future may bring.

CYCLONE CELLARS NOT NEEDED.

American business men who ran to
cover" at the news Of the European
war, had reason to regret it. Instead
Of marking an approaching panic and
a period of depression, it inaugurated
the greatest period of industrial
development any country has ever ex-
perienced. 1t didn't take them many
weeks to come out of the storm cellars
and frantically seek to make up for
the precious weeks that had been
lost.
Business as usual" is not only good
patriotism but good business at this
time. There can be no era of unem-
ployment with the country calling for
men and supplies in unheard of
quantities. It is not time to retrenc1;
but to expand and to call into play
every ounce Of productive energy.
#. Edison White, vice president of
the Armour Packing. company, sums
UP the situation in the last issue of the
Armour magazine as follows:
This is a time to preach confidence
and to demonstrate confidence, that
business may proceed along normal
lines. 1t is essential to our national
welfare that there be no sudden rend-
ing of the business fabric. Industrial or
business depression must not be per-
mitted
With our nation at war and it's
future dependent on its efficiency,
there is need that every factory and
every business institution expand
rather than restrict activities. Buying
and selling OF goods of all kinds must
not fall below normal. That applies
ali along the line from the producer
to the ultimate consumer
There is no occasion for alarm in
the business world The nation is
going to meet the problems confront
ing it and is going to emerge triumph
ant from its struggle for worldwide
democracy A wonderful period of
national prosperity lies Just beyond
the war cloud. Our future as a nation
is assured and there Is every reason
for confidence
It is ali sound advice that Fargo in
common with other cities. should heed.

Do you know how to tell. an officer
from a private by his uniform? In
these days when khaki is becoming al
most as common as multi. can YOU dis
tinguish between the uniforms? II not,
here are some simple rules.
At a little distance 1t is difficult TO
tell officers and privates apart. this
plan having been adopted in order not
to simplify the work of enemy sharp
shooters who always prefer to take an
officer, but a military man can tell at
a glance everything about a soldier
but his name.
The officers cap has braid and U. s.
coat of arms. The private's cap pears
merely the crossed arms of his SER
vice and regimental number. Tne SOL
dier's service hat has plain cord, blue
for infantry. red for artillery and yell
low for cavalry. The officers hat cord
is black and gold with two gold acorns
in front.
Soldiers wear canvas leggings; Of
ficers have leather ones. An omcer
collar tells his state, the arm OF the
service he is in. and regiment. RlIles'
sabres or cannon indicate lnIantry'
cavalry or artillery. the soioler COT
lar bears lust two bronze discs telllns
his regiment. The enlisted man or non
commissioned officer has a cuff on ms

is cuffIess. and black braid indicates
his rank. without braid he is second

BY BRINKERHOFF.

The editor of The Dunn County Set
tier believes in open confession. THE
little touch of fine weather we have
been having for the past few days has
taken all the pep out of our system
and left only spring fever. And we
reckon the paper looks it,"
For once it will be possible to disa-
gree and please.
The Mandan Pioneer after recalling
it's opposition to the sending of troops
to France until they are properly
trained, joins the Let Teddy Go"
chorus, with the following: Theodore
Roosevelt Is considered by the officials
of the belligerent countries of Europe
as a sort of representative citizen Of
America. The mere act that he was
more to rally the spirits of the allies
and dishearten the Teutons than
would the leadership of any other one
man." "
The Golden Valley American gives
the brewers short shrift. Just what
their side of the case is we have not
learned, it says, but 1t seems to
every thinking man or woman that at
this time 1t is q simple question,
bread or whiskyT"
The Schafer Record thinks price
regulation has been begun at the
wrong end. in fixing minimum and
maximum prices on foodstuffs the
government will have only made a
beginning, it says. 1T cannot stop
there The producer must be protect

the suggestion that farmers advertise.
Nov why wouldn't 1t be a good
scheme for every farmer to have a
little signboard out near the road tell
ing what he has to sell. Merchants
and all dealers advertise their wares
and why not farmers? There are few
farm houses in the country where
automobiles by the hundreds do not
pass every day, and once a farmer
gets q town customer he will have
him on the string right along"
But why conflne the advertising to
a signboard? No successful merchant
does. If the farmer has anything
worth advertising it is worth a few
lines in the best newspaper medium
he has.
The Larimore Pioneer would mob
ilize the farm boys as chicken rails
ers. Never before was there a bet
ter time for the North Dakota boys
to earhf some extra money and at the
same time help avert a food shortage,
it says. Boys, get busy and buy
few settings Of eggs for Matching. or
buy baby chicks"
Farm or arm" is. the new twist

Bowman county and village will

munity newspaper. The Bowman Pub
fishing company in announcing the
consolidation of The Pioneer and Citi-
zen, says: THE paper will be pub
lished by the Bowman Publishing Co.,

of the business men of the village"
If practically every business man in
the village" doesn't attempt to dictate
the policy of the newspaper, the plan
should be winner.

NOISY BUT NOT NUMEROUS.

How utterly futile was Germany's
dream Of a transplanted Germany in
America. is shown by the recent state
ment of Attorney General Gregory on
the number of disloyal aliens that had
been arrested in the United States.
There were just 1875.
The mistake was evidently made Of
made. German reservists were to be
organized and armed in a dozen Am
erican cities. Census figures were
quoted to show the big percentage Of
German born in America. They were
counted on to remain loyal to Ger
many; to foment disturbances in the
ranks of labor; to wreck munitions
plants; and to actually rise and arm.
The terrifying picture of Teutonic
uprisings in Milwaukee, st. Louis and
Cincinnati was painted, and some
writer's questioned the ability OF the
government to master even it's internal
difficulties. America was shown a
nightmare Of a great German army,
suddenly springing fully organized,
trained and equipped from the beer
gardens of the three great GASES in the
rapidly drying nation, and reinforced
by a vast throng Of pacifists waving
empty grape juice bottles, marching on
Washington. or New York or any other
city chosen, unresisted.
Apparently most of the much scorn-
ed pacifists have enlisted. and the dis
loyal Teuton host has dwindled to 125
about half the size of a days police
court grist in any large city. Fargo's
police force could nicely handle the
disloyalty of the country If it were
centralized.
Germany still refuses to recognize
that America is at war with her;
merely constituting the situation as be-
ing Termination of neutrality" But
it will take a lot of such talk to con-
vince Fritz in the trenches when he
sees the American flag floating OPP
posite him.
The training camps drew 40,s0o
embryo officers in twenty days. For
nation that had become soft that
was doing fairly well.
War time prices of foodstuffs today
are even higher than those which pre-
vailed at the close of the Civil war.
Flour sold then at about SIS barrel;
wheat at S2.25 to $3.50 bushel; pota-
toes at $3.50 bushel.
The senate outdid itself in finding
new epithets to hurl at the food
spectators. There is a better weapon
at hand when the lawmakers get ready
to use 1t.
An American dentist has been en-
gagged to fix the imperial teeth Of
Kaiser Wilhelm. Surely the dentist, III
loyal American. can ask nothing
more of life than such an opportunity
as this.

THE GRAIN PROBLEM.

70 The situation which resulted in the
Closing of the Chicago Board of Trade
to future trading for two days, and
the calling of conference in Chicago
today of representatives Of all grain
exchanges. is the result Of a steady
and consistent draining of the Ameri-
can wheat markets resulting in a nat
ural corner"
II is not generally known to those
outside the grain exchanges. and the
: story has not yet been given publicity,
but similar situation was averted
last year only by the patriotic and
broad minded attitude assumed by
n one grain exporter who had been
handling through his offices on three
or four Of the great grain exchanges Of
! the country, the bulk of the buying
of grain for the allies. He had con-
tracted for more grain for May deliv-
cry than was available, and was in a
position to mercilessly squeeze the
r shorts had he been so disposed, but
he preferred to permit them to extend
their deals into July and even septem-
afber after the new crop had begun to
come in, and no such skyrocketing Of
prices as was seen this year develop
ed.
+. But this year the allied governments
had been buying very heavily for May
delivery on the Chicago and Winnipeg
? exchanges. The British agents at
Winnipeg refused to extend the options
into July, and when the shorts" began
to scramble for cover. it developed that
the actual wheat to fill contracts was
|, not available. The result was a panic
with wild bidding for supplies, and
E prices went up with a shrek, the
4 consumers and shorts" supplying the
shrek.
The corner" differed from many
that have been attempted by specula- :.
tors in the past. in that the holders of
4 contracts for delivery, wanted the
! wheat. In other corners the delivery
OF the wheat was what was most fear
4 ed by those attempting to run the
! corner" The spectacular breaking of
the Letter corner in this way will be
well remembered.
The allies are said to have been
. long" as much as 21,000,OO0 bushels
of May wheat at one time. When it
] was seen that ships would not be
/ available to transport all of this, they
sold some OF their contracts and reap
ed big profits. buying back later
options.
The condition Of market SO mar
row. that the buying of a few thou
sand bushels would send prices UP
fifteen or twenty cents, has been seen
before in the fax market, but not in
recent years in wheat.
Some solution for the problem may
be reached today at the Chicago con-
ference. On the one hand the farmer
who sows Expensive seed, pays high
prices for labor and equipment, and
takes his chance with the elements, |
must be protected with a broad mar
ket and fair prices. On the other
hand, the consumer must be protected |
from a repetition of the feverish COM |
petition of buyers which sends prices |
far above their true value. II the grain !
exchanges fail to solve the problem,
the government may step in. 1t has
not hesitated to conscript men; it may
conscript food supplies guarantee the
producer a fair profit and the con-
sumner a price that will stave off food
riots, strikes and possible complete |
industrial disorganization.
