The speeches and demonstrations
at the Nonpartisan league confer
ence were condemned as "pro-Ger-
man and anti-American'' by the pub
lie school teachers of Minneapolis,
meeting at the central high school.
The resolution on this subject, which
was presented by w. III. Sheppard of
the North high school, also promises
the people of Minneapolis that the
public school teachers will give
positive evidence of definite and
practical patriotism" In their work
this year. The resolution follows:

daily press, confirmed by witness
es not connected with the papers,
represent that the meeting held
by the Nonpartisan league in the
ST. Paul auditorium last night,
wound up in a blaze of disloyal-
ty," with Senator La Toilette, A.
G. Townley, president of the
league. and Mayor Van Lear the
chief spokesman; and
Whereas, we believe the dem
onstrations made, the language
used, and the spirit and temper of
fed the resolution of loyalty
passed by the league earlier IN
the session.
whereas, we are convinced that
such demonstrations and express
sions, substantially disloyal, are
eagerly welcomed by the central
powers and their publicity agents
as giving them aid and comfort,
and are used by them to deceive
the German people and the Rus
sian revolutionists as to the real
public sentiment and purpose Of
the American people In this war;
Therefore. be IL resolved, that
we, the teachers of Minneapolis,
meeting in general assembly, re-
pudiate and utterly condemn such
demonstrations and expressions
as in effect pro-German and anti
American. and that we will In our
instruction give positive evidence

CURRENT COMMENT
The Russian Mystery.

Something has happened in Russia.
Nobody knows what. At least those
who are likely to know refuse to tell
us. The air is full of rumors. Riga
may have fallen. The Teutons may be
on their way to Petrogrsd. The other
allied nations cannot see through the
fog. The British have sent over heavy
guns, only TO hear that these have been
in some instances buried to keep them
out of the hands of traitors. The Unit
ed States has advanced Russia credit,
but to-day hardly knows whether the
new resources accrued to the advantage
of friend or foe, The latest plan is to let
Col. Roosevelt lead an army into Rls.il
by the Siberian route, but nobody seems
to know whether its arrival would be
welcomed or resisted He might stop
on his way and compare notes WITH the
ex-czar. Then, besides, the japanese mis-
sion is here, and some observers think
the present mystery calculated I, i'm.
press them with the seriousness of the
situation. Perhaps we shall soon know.

WE MUST HELP RUSSIA.

Although realizing the instability OF
new republics and more especially of a
republic such as Russia, which has been
under monarchial rule for so many gem
erations that much more violent revo-
luton than the one which occurred
might have been expected at the over
throw of the car, the United States is
pledged to help settle all difficulties that
may arise in the path of the new dicta-
tor, Kerensky. Reports from Petrograd
this week have not been encouraging and
the dictator is threatened with great
troubles. The Firms are uneasy and if
not handled with extreme care may
create considerable discomfort and re-
sulting strife. In fact there is danger
of big revolt in Finland, the Socialists
having refused to help Prof. Ingman to
form a Finnish government. A struggle
is also anticipated at the opening of the
extraordinary national council" in Mos
COW concerning which the newspapers
are full of speculations. And the Ger
mans have opened vigorous offensive
against the Russian armies in the region
of Riga. These things, coupled with
the natural difficulties attending the run
ming of a young republic, put Kerensky
in tight position. As things now are
in this country there is but one way in
which we can help and help Immediately
and that is to make a new loan We
have already loaned Russia consider
able sum, but it would not be according
to the true spirit of the hour if we re-
fused her another in this hour of her |
need. Nor would it be good policy Rus
STA is one of our allies and if her armies |
can be properly organized under a recog
nized head and then kept well supplied |
with munitions and rations the eastern
front will no longer be cause of worry
to us. We don't feel at all sure that
any such harmony will ensue in the Rus
sian army so long as the war lasts nor
for long time thereafter, but the fact
can't be overlooked that Russia is fight
ing with us and that if she can't bear her
own burdens it is up to us to shoulder
as many of them as we can.
