DEATH LOSSES IN WAR

The German official reports record the loss of .
little over a million men by DEATH, either directly or from
wounds. since the war began. The population Of Ger
many is about s5, 100000. This proportion Of loss. there-
fore, amounts to about one and one-half per cent IF
the total population. On the basis Of five persons to the
family, the proportion IL one death Of every 10 families.
In a city Of the size of Grand Forks, the deaths would
number 22s.
These losses are shocking to contemplate. and when
the effect on the population is considered, We must also
remember the very large number who are totally or par
tally disabled by wounds. .
And yet, those losses are not sufficient to cripple q
nation. They bring sorrow and suffering, and they Will
result in some readjustmsnt Of the economic situation,
but 1t cannot be said that the nation that has lost but
one and a half per cent Of is men IL brought anywhere
near the point of incapacity.
The fact is that, horrible though war 10. and deplor-
able rs its results are. it il physically possible to maintain
only q very small proportion Of the men Of a nation in
active service at the front. Fer every man at the front
many must remain at homo. not because they desire to do
SO. but because their services at homo are necessary for
the maintenance Of the one man at the front.
The process is similar to that familiar in the field
Of physics. whore, in order to deliver a certain unit Of
power to be applied effectively, many times that quantity
Of power must be generated to be absorbed in friction
and dissipated in many ways We reduce the friction
and concentrate tho energy to the best Of our ability, but,
when we do our very best. We can apply effectively only
a small fraction Of the total power generated.

GOOD CROP WEATHER

The rain which fell generally throughout the state
on Monday and Tuesday was very welcome. It put a
stop for the moment to the work Of seeding, but the
slight delay will be moro than made up in the improved
condition Of the soil. Tho spring weather has been so
dry that in places the soil was in danger Of being blown
by strong winds. a condition decidedly unpleasant to work
in. and not conducive to q satisfactory planting. The
moisture has corrected that condition, and at the same
time there has not been enough rain to make the ground
sognu.
Thus far the northwest has been fortunate in the
matter Of weather. There have been no floods and no
storms. The soil has absorbed practically all Of the water
that came from the melting snow. Frost is coming out
niosv. and sun, and air have mellowed the plowed land
and made the soil friable.
seeding 10 quite often delayed until after May l..
This year q large acreage has been seeded two weeks
before that time. and in most sections the soil is now in
ideal condition for further work. It is idle to predict
bumper crops In April. but the April conditions. If fol-
lowed up in 4 similar way throughout the season, are
just what tend to produce big crops. Let US hope, and
dig in.

CONSUMPTION

The only right way to recruit armies for the service
Of the United States in this emergency is by conscrip-
There may be propriety and wisdom in retaining the
volunteer system a. q means Of supplying our regular
army. In peace or in war we must always have an army,
just as we must always have a police force. And, Just
as we depend on volunteers to fill the ranks Of our police
force. so. perhaps. We may depend on volunteers to keep
our regular. army up to its required number in time Of
peace.
But, when mon are needed at once for active service
in the defense Of the country, the volunteer system
should be abandoned. 1t is not q question whether or not
We can raise q large enough army under that system.
The system itself is wrong.
It is the duty Of every citizen, in time Of need. to
defend his country with his life. And. whether or not
that service 10 performed should not depend at all on the
willingness Of the individual. II 1t is left that way, a pre-
MUM is placed on sloth and cowardice. 1t should not
be so left The understanding should be that every man
may be called on to serve, and that those will actually
be ordered out who are best fitted and most nearly free.
No system of conscription that has ever been pro-
posed would take all men, or all men of a given age, in
Discriminatory. That would be senseless. Only those
who are sound physically would be taken. because the
physically unsound man would be a burden to an army
instead of a help.
Attention would necessarily be paid to the domestic
surroundings Of the individual. So long as there were
enough Of such men, the first draft would be confined
to young unmarried men. That would be sound. eco
nomio policy. because the withdrawal Of such men from
their homes would avert the separation of families. And.
for a like reason, the young unmarried man who is actu-
ally the breadwinner of a family would be exempt until
the draft had taken all those whose presence at home
were less necessary than his own.
The rules governing the draft would make ample
provision for a wise selection. But the one thing which
should not DO permitted to have influence is the willing
ness or unwillingness Of tho individual to servo. The
public authorities should be charged with the duty Of
investigating, and Of selecting for service those who are
best fitted for service and can be taken with the mimi
mum degree Of hardship to families and to the communi-
ty at large. And when it has been determined that the
individual is fit, and that he may properly be spared
from his home, that should end the matter. Willing or
unwilling, he should be required to serve. regardless of
occupation, or wealth, or poverty, or any other condition.

Let me quote from the speech Of a

"The biggest problem any nation
at war has to face is the suffering in
its cities.
I'm our own land food supplies are

There is a direct relation between

EVERYBODY SHOULD PAY

A friend Of The Herald writes commencing the spiS-
It Of q cartoon recently published in this paper emphas-
ling tho idea that the man who stays on the job should
help to pay for the war.
That is one of the functions Of citizenship. equally
important with actual service in the field. Somebody
must pay the cost. The men at the front may be called
on to pay with their blood. Those who remain at home
will not be called on to pay in that manner, but theirs
is a service which must be performed. and 1t is a service
which should be performed as freely and ungrudgingly
as any other.
Tho seven billion dollars appropriated for the pur-
the largest sum ever appropriated at one time for any
war by any government. It may be but the drst of many
such appropriations. We cannot tell. But whether 1t
will prove sufficient in itself or III to be but one Of many,
all the money needed must be appropriated, and the
American people must pay in proportion to their ability.
We cannot tell now what means may be used for the
raising Of the sums which will be needed. Except in
the matter Of time 1t makes no difference whether an ef-
fort Is made to raise as much Of this revenue at once or
whether payments be extended over q long period.
The American people must foot the bills in any case, and
the money must be raised by some form Of taxation.
It IN quite likely that the income tax will be made
to apply to those Of smaller incomes than are now in
cluded in the provisions. There is no reason why it
should not be. The man whose income il small cannot bear
large income. but he can pay something, and he should
be required to do so. It is likely, also, that the super
taxes imposed on large incomes will be made heavier, as
they may we'll be. Probably we will return to many
former special taxes, SO that all OF US will pay, a little al
a time, as we 90 about our ordinary business.
Whatever methods are employed. taxation should be
made as equitable as possible, and should be made to
bear more and more heavily on those who are best able
to contribute. But all of us should be. and undoubtedly
will be drafted into the service by the taxgatherer, even If
we are not called on to serve in the field. This is right,
and just
