The constant repetition Of the German
press that America can never become a
military power shows grave fear that
| there has been another miscalculation.
Germans Not Convinced
The Hamburger Nachrichten" said:
When the enemy army leaders de-
clare that American help will win the
war they are deliberately dcceiving
themselves and the world in general, for
their West front, even after the arrival
of the strongest American forces, will
be no stronger in 1918 than in 1917
and we must always remember that the
possibility of safely transporting these
tIOOpS IL HIGHlN pIODlPHnHllCdl.
Our own losses. on the other hand,
have been small compared with those
of the enemy. Our troops, as defenders
are in a much stronger position than
those who are the attackers, for the lat
ter must advance across open ground
under hail of shot from our guns. We
must also take into consideration the
fact that transporting huge masses of
troops overseas is always a matter Of
great difficulty, and more especially now
that our submarines are a perpet-
ual source of danger"
II does not take wide reading of the
German press to see that the writers
are arguing with themselves that per-
haps, after all, America will amount to
something.
Suppose the unprecedented peace
movement now sweeping over Germany
is inspired by the Wilhelmstrasse. Does
not that indicate that the rulers know
what is uppermost in the minds of the
people? And. after all. what has Ger
many got to-day TO show for her enor-
nous investment of lives and money in
1917?
Papers Demand News
All the Liberal journals in England
and even some of .he Conservative pa
pers demand more information con-
corning the general situation. "The
Times" asks why official reports of the
campaigns in Palestine, Salonica and
the West front are so loIG delayed, and
others demand fuller details about sub
marines. The now Statement want TO
know why the ordinary plain person
can't get permission TO receive the Ger
man papers, adding: Possibly the key
TO the official attitude may lie in the
fact that German newspapers are so
extraordinarily like British newspapers
and that the government doesn't want
the general public 20 know this

in England. England il logged, and
therefore dangerous.

BY the use OF motor truck routes in
the parcel post service, II is believed,

otherwise would be wasted or delivered

such service will be selfsupporting and
perhaps profitable TO the government.

A NEW NONPARTISAN LEAGUE.

AS predicted in the Courant a few months ago, the enemies of the Non
cal call" for a "Mg state meeting" to be held in the Grand Forks Auditorium
Yesterday "a published in Saturdays issue of the Grand Forks Herald.
This is a move that has been looked for for some time. The enemies of
the League in Minnesota adopted this method of combating the farmers
organization and, while the move in Minnesota does not appear to have been
very prolific in results, it seems like the most effective method. A traitor,
protesting friendship, cal accomplish untold iniquty that would be forestal-
led when attempted by an avowed foe.
But the North Dakota "Non-Partsan League" is already destined to
shame, oblivion and defeat. The farmers of the state had its full measure
eve before it a conceived in the resourceful mind of Jerry Bacon, ct al
No undertaking based OF fraud, deceit and crooked politics can long endure
in North Dakota in this day of general enlightenment, as witness the fate Of
the late lamented Good Government League.
The time is past when the people of the state could be bamboo1ed with
Nonparisan League begin to realize this the sooner they will adopt more
feasible method of fighting the people who feed them.
The first issue of the Fargo searchLight under the management of w
F. Gushing, late secretry of the state railroad commission, ami tx hand
this week. Editor Cushing announces that the name of the publication will
be changed to "Ihe Fargo Post" In outlining it's editorial policy, the editor
says that the Post els out of sympathy with propagandas advanced by self
constituted and improved experimeners in state affairs, whose only basis
for the agitation appears to be personal interest prejudice and class hatred:
This is the common plahtude hurled against the Nonparisan League, and
it is easy to guess where the Post proposes to line up in the fight between
the farmers in North Dakota and Special Privilege outside the state. The
ways advocated the aus of the commonp people and it is regretabe that the
publication should have fallen into the hands Of who scans the political
horizon through smoked glasses.

columns; the Crosby Journal Divide countys leading newspaper, i, taking a
firm stand with the farmers organization; the Cando Record, edited by that
able champion Of popular rights, Carl Nelson, comes right out in meeting
and supports the League program; the Starkweather Times comes out in
strong editorial support of the movement Even the Norwegian Grand Forks
newspaper, the Normanden, which has been one of the bithrest foes of the
league, in last weeks issue shows a nor tolerant editorial attitude, and
indicates it's future support Of the movement if the plans Of the league, as
outlined by President Townley, prove to be correct. Besides the above men,
toned, nearly all of which are recent recruits sin the League ranks, there is
a long list of such battle SCARED veterans as the New Rockford Transcript
Devils Lake Journal, Bismarck Palladium, Bismarck Public Opinion, Ken
sal Progress, Darlington Record, Bowman Citizen, New Rockford State
Center, Minot Messenger and LaMoure Chronicle, not to mention such able
opponents as the Fargo Courier-News,t the Nonpartisan Leader, the Cooper
ators Herald, Fran and the Agricultural Northwest. Indeed the farmers
have a splendid array Of editorial talent enlisted in it's support, much as the
enemies of the league would like to have it appear otherwise.

BOTH LITTLE AND DESPICABLE

St. Paul Daily News: Thousands of progressive farmers of the north
west have banded together in a league, recognizing n party emblem and
bowling to no party boss. They call this organization the nonpartsan league.
The readers Of the st. Paul Daily News aref familiar with the purposes, plans
and accomplishments of this league.
Recently the nonpartsan league became national in scope and moved its
headquarters to st. Paul. At the same time state headquarters for Mime
sofa were established in st. Paul.
Old guard politicians and certain large business interests, feel that they
have cause to fear the results of nonparisan success in the next Minnesota
election. From them ar expected direct and indirect opposition. Of the
latter sort is the socaled "Nonpartisan League Of Minnesota" for which
articles of incorporation were filed with the secretary of state or Wednesday.
Investigation of the new organization reveals backing doubtful in char
acter and suspicious in purpose.
The original, authentic, nonpartisan league denies any relationship to
this handmade corporation of THREE MEMBERS. One of the trio is a p-
itcal protege of "Boss" Ed. Smith; another is a Fargo, N. D, lawyer, whose
chief objection to the real nonpartisan leagues activities in Minnesota is
because it's leaders came to st. Paul from Fargo, N. D, and the third is a
clerk employed in the state senate.
1t is a despicabe scheme, because it is trying to take from the real farm
es organization the name by which it has become famous throughout all
rural America, and because obviously it is trying to disrupt and nu1ify
great popular and democratic movement.
city Auditorium wa filled three times, morning, afternoon and evening: AND
in spite of this the Grand Forks Herald had the efrontery to state that

ment to it's promoters" We n wondering how many times the Auditorium

A DIFFICULTY.

State Senator Hyland, one of the men who successfully disposed of the
famous House Bill No. ID, is in serious trouble.
Mr.. Hyland is a auctioneer. Everything goes alright until somebody
offers the figures "a, when, according to reports, Hyland roars out "sold."
He simply refuses to "pass 44."-New Rockford Transcript.

WHERE NORTH DAKOTA CAN HELP.

The United States is o involved in the biggest, the most destructive
and the most horrible "a yer waged since the creation of man.
Just what part America will play in the drama Of destruction still re-
mains probematical, but it is a foregone conclusion that the magnificent
resources of the country in foodstufs will be a important factor in determin-
ing the outcome.
And here is where North Dakota a help the nation, while at the same
time helping herself.
Being a strictly agricultural state, it will be called upon to feed count
less thousands who are either personally engaged in conflict or, as a result
of the war are prevented from producing food.
North Dakota, by the aid of providence, should raise the biggest CROP in
it's history Every available, tnlabe space should be utilized. The demand
for foodstufs will be felt even before the crop is harvested. The high price
for farm productc which o obtain in the east as the result of the Euro
pean "a will be brought right to u doors with the United States as one
of the beligerents.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-04-12

Itis fair to suppose that the half dozen renegades out of the $1,000 farm
esi in North Dakota who are members of the Nonpartisan League will be
accorded positions of "honor and trust" in Jerry Bacons new organization.
Sore, Quanbeck, Stenmo and Burnett should be named O n the first board
of directors Jerry himself, although claiming vociferousy to be a rel. farm
err, will hardly have the nerve to go OF a N officer. That would mean an
indecently premature burial of the new conception.
