of women and children and non
combatants. They have made her a
liar and perjurer. Upon them shall
fall the curse of the Psalmist: HE
that worketh deceit shall not dwell
within My house; he that speaketh
falsehood shall not be established be-
fore My eyes. Morning by morning
will destroy all the wicked of the
land, to cut off all the workers of
iniquity from the City Of the Lord"
But at present these powerful per-
sonaiities" represent and control the
policies and acts Of the German
nation.
German Political Philosophy.
The political philosophy of Bern
hardi has been accepted by the Ger
man nation. and is the basis Of the
war ii is waging against civilized
Europe, the cause of its extension
by the submarine weapon against the
whole civilized world. To under
stand this. is to realize that German
success would be destructive Of human
freedom as we have understood and
practiced 1t.
We have entered this war because
to have longer kept out OF it would
only have postponed the inevitable
moment when we should have been
compelled to fight Germany for the
maintenance Of our right to carry on
trade and commerce and to protect
some Of our neighbors in the Western
hemisphere from the fate OF Belgium
and Poland. We are at war with Ger
many because we no longer could have
remained at peace with her and re-
tanned our own self-respect as a ma
ton. We have entered the war to
preserve the world from destruction
Of those principles OF civil liberty,
which were enumerated in the Decla-
ration OF independence and are en-
bodied in the bills of rights Of every
state Of our Union and in our ma
tional constitution.
Europe Nearer Now Than In 1924.
All Of our traditions impelled us to
enter the conflict. Belgium and Po-
land today are nearer to us than were
the South American republics in
whose defense we declared the Mon
roe policy in 1924. We are bound to
France by ties Of love and gratitude
back to the days when, in
spired by a chivalric love Of liberty,
Lafayette and Rochambeau drew
their swords in our defense and in
duoed the timely aid of their govern
ment, without which our success was
doubtful. We are bound to Great
Britain by a common ancestry OF race
and speech and political ideas. But
above and beyond all, we have en-
tered the war in defense OF human
freedom, in the performance OF that
promise made in the Declaration OF
independence, which in the language
of Abraham Lincoln gave promise
that in due time the weights would
be lifted from the shoulders of all
men and that all should have an
equal chance
We fightthat the weight Of tyranny
shall be lifted from the shoulders OF
Belgium and Poland; we fight that
the dark cloud of German pretense
to world power may be dissipated
from the international horizon. The
spirit of our ancestors impels us into
this conflict. We could not be their
worthy descendants did we withhold
from it. Once the issue was
made clear, the spirit and the voice OF
America commanded us to stand forth |
with the other free people OF this
world, to the end that liberty and JUS
tice NAV be established and maintain
ed among the nations Of the earth'

WICKEUSHAN INDICTS
GERMAN INTRIGUE AS
CAUSE OF The WAR
(Continued from Pace a.

The message OF Germany was a
proclamation of piracy similar to
that Of the Barbary pirates 100 years
ago. Today. as then, 1t rested with
congress to decide between war and
tribute. 1t chose war, and on April
6, 1917, solemnly declared the exist
ence OF a state Of war between the
United States and the imperial Ger
man government and authorized the
President to employ the entire pow
err of the nation in the cause Of JUS
tice, international law and humanity.
When General Bernhard wrote:
%. the acts Of the state cannot
be judged by the standard Of indIvid-
ual morality, for the end-all and
be-all of a state is power, he diff
ferentiated in a few words the Ger
man ideal Of government from that
Of every modern Christian state, and
made il clear that the conflict be-
tween the civilized Christian world
was as irrepressible as was the issue
between freedom and human slavery.
The progress Of the war and the
manner OF its conduct by Germany
has shown the world that Bernhard
gave voice and expression, not alone
to his individual belief, but the
philosophy and creed OF the whole
there are many Germans who do not
perceive the full significance of this
doctrine. But organized Germany is
committed to 1t. Germany has put
these theories into practical applic1-

rests her excuse for the cruelties
practiced by her armies in Belgium
and France and Poland. They are
summed up in the plea Of Bethmann-
Hollweg TO the Belgian minister that
necessity knows no law.
They constitute her official expla-
nation of the resumption of indis-
criminate submarine warfare. Ger
many has accepted the shibboleth Of

Bernhard offered her in 1911. She

power, but righteousness, exalted

ASK AMERICANS
FOREGO SWEETS
Hoover Urges Measure In
Order to Release Sugar
\ For France
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 25.-Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover appealed to the
I American people last night to re-
dtTce their consumption OF sweets to
leave a share for their French al
lies, who are facing the prospect OF
two months entirely without sugar.
I'VE have received a request from
the French government" Mr.. Hoover
said, that We allow them to export
from the United States 100 900 tons
of sugar during the next month, and
probably more at later period.
our own situation is that we have
just sufficient sugar to maintain our
normal consumption until the first
of January. when the new West India
crop becomes available to all.
Our consumption is at the rate of
90 pounds per person per year-a
little under four ounces per day per
person.
"The French people are on a ra-
ton OF sugar equal to only FL pounds
per annum per person-or at the
rate Of less than one single ounce per
day per persona little more than
the weight Of a silver dollar each
day.
"The English and Italian rations
are also not over one ounce per day.
THE French people will be entire
" without sugar for over two months
il we refuse to part with enough
from our stocks to keep them sup
piled.
Sugar even to a greater amount
than the French ration is a human
necessity. If our people will reduce
by one-third their purchases and
consumption Of candy and of sugar
for other uses than preserving fruit,
which we do not wish to interfere
with, we can save the French situa-
ton.
TT is unthinkable that we refuse
their request"

When a prominent attorney and
politician speaking under the au-
thority Of the Red Cross society and
with the full knowledge Of its state
chairman and secretary makes such
wanton and willful false statements
in order to further a political cause,
assert that he is guilty Of using
patriotism as a cloak for the further
ance of a political cause and prosti-
tuting the Red Cross society to poll
teal ends. ... .u
So far from having remained silent
concerning the Red Cross, Governor
Frazier, the responsible head Of the
present administration, has repeat
edly spoken in favor Of the Red
Cross and urged upon all persons
liberal subscriptions. When the Red
Cross drive was on in Burleigh
county, which Melted the largest per
capita result of any drive in the
United States, Governor Frazier. and
other members of his administration,
addressed the assembled state OFF,
Gals and employees with the result
that in fifteen minutes $1,000 in
cash was subscribed, Governor Fra
zier's subscription being very liberal.
Frazier has made since the Red
Cross drive began, and in many Of
them prior to the speech made by
Mr. Bangs at jamestown, he boosted
the Red Cross-pointed out what an
invaluable aid it is to our military
organization and urged the people
to subscribe to the fullest extent of
their means. Not only has Governor
Frazier been boosting the Red Cross
in public speeches but the members
of his administration have constant
ly boosted the Red Cross and are all
liberal subscribers.

Bangs, or Judge Young cannot select
another group of men in the state
who have been more loyal or liberal
to the Red Cross than the present
state officials of North Dakota.
In view of these easily ascertain
able facts, / deliberately state that
the language used by Tracy r.
Bangs in his speech at jamestown
was a prostitution of the cause Of
the Red Cross and of patriotism to
political ends-he availed himself OF
the opportunity, while speaking to
people of all political parties, under
the auspices of the Red Cross, to at
tack and malign honorable and loyal
state officials to further the political
cause of those opposed to the prin-
ciples for which the present admin
stration stands.
Further, brand Mr. Wilbur's
statement as false when he says that
Governor Frazier sent me to Fargo
for the purpose of protecting and
sheltering the proposed meeting of
the Peace Council in that city. This
faIsehood is all the more inexcusable
after my LaMoure speech, in which
