Disgust Shown Because Of 1g-

London, April 4.-Germany Is in
dubitably nearing q political crisis.
Tho people have lost confidence in
Won Bethmann-Hollweg because he
has failed to keep the United States
out Of the war and also because, de-
spite great expenditures for intrigue
and espionage, he was utterly unin-
formed Of the real course of events in
Russia leading up to the revolution.
The German reacttonaries think he
should have known the truth and pre-
vented the revolution, while the
democratic elements are Disguised be-
as the last surviving European auto
cracies opposing the worlds democ-
racies.
The eyes of all Europe are on the
United States now, awaiting the out

gress. The German tories expected
HollWeg to convince the United States
that Great Britain and not Germany
was the real aggressor. His failure
weakens his hand.

Germany are echoed in France and

most needed in the public interest and
the new combing gu will materially
strengthen the nation.
Liquor Problems Solution.
Conflicting statements regarding
Premier Lloyd Georges recent pro-
nouncement on the liquor question
have caused the giving Of an authori-
tative statement Of what occurred
when he addressed Populations OF
prohibitionists and laborers.
It develops that Mr.. Lloyd George
plainly indicated that the government
would purchase the liquor business as
the first step toward its suppression,
and that suppression would be the
next step II a continuance of the war
made it necessary to muster the full
est national strength. He declared:
::In every branch Of life there are
tragedies directly attributable to the
temptations Of liquor. If this is true.
Of all causes it is bound to interfere
with and, impair the efficiency of the
nation whether in peace or in war.
The only difference is that in peace
we could perhaps afford to pay the
damage, in war we could not"
1t is suggested that probably large
sections of the country will soon be
dry, and perhaps all ultimately.

The Patriotism of Women.

The present international crisis
makes every loyal citizen pause and
ask: What am I prepared as an in
dividual to do in an hour Of need, to
serve my country? :"
History Ia bright with the records
Of women who have put thought Of
self aside and done what they could,
their effort often proving the pivotal
point upon which matters Of great
importance turned. We honor them
as indeed we should, but what of the
women of today?
With u superior methods Of trav-
ell and communication, our knowledge
Of sanitation and asepsis. with the
broader education and the many doors
to women. what could we bring to our
country to hold up her hands even
as those of Moses were upheld. while
his armies fought for righteous VIC
tory. All over the country. groups
of women are assembling themselves
under suitable leadership, to learn
how to bring first aid in the right way
in many lines.
The women Of the warning nations
everywhere, have already set an ex-
ample of splendid heroism. for : re-
gardless of social position of previous
training, they have given themselves
courageously to the tasks at hand.
There is sure to be something which
you and I can do well under proper
direction, to strengthen our national
defenses, by bringing comfort or re-
lief to our national defenders. There
ts no nj of doubt in the minds
of any one who knows the American
woman with her resourcefulness, in
itiative and persistence, but that she
will rally to her country's aid, in one
great, loyal, efficient army!
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-04-04

What can be harder than for a
mother to give up her sons. q wife
her husband, Of a sweetheart her
lover? One and all will stand and
wait with greater patience and cour-
age II their hands are busy for God
and home and native land.
There is In old English motto
we will show our patriotism by obey
ing this mandate. Let us be ready
and satisfied to do the next thing
which is at hand. to do it with thor
ougness. cheerfulness. and determine
ton to make it count for right and
justice If there is q patriotic organi-
cation mobilizing in your locality, go
join it. Never mind II you do believe
in peace! If war is forced upon an
themselves and the women must stand
by the defenders.
You may not be able to do anything
big, but little things count. The
blacksmith forged a bolt on a stormy
night in his lonely shop. The bolt
became part of a bridge. In time
Of war an army crossed over the
bridge and strained it to the utter
most at a weak point. The integrity
of the bolt was tested. 1t held. The
troops passed over and saved their
country. Only a little bolt yet it count
ed nightly!
Not a woman will stand back, and
much as we may regret warfare If
1t comes, we must not hate those who
are opposed to us, for hatred is q
boomerang which always turns and
strikes the one who sends 1t forth.
The women of the future will look
back at the women of today, and we
know they, too, will have reason to be
proud.
