Williston. - Because they are un-

when it is question between the
Entente and Germany, our sympathies
are with Germany. But between Ger
many and the United States our nat

matter Of course" said w. H. Safer,
president Of the disbanded club.
Most Americans of German descent
have little sympathy with the monar-
chial rule in Prussia. Conditions
brought about by monarchism caused
me to leave Germany for free Amer.

Therefore, America is not only the
land of my adoption, but the land

SOLDIERS CAN'T COLLECT
on THEIR CERTIFICATES
Order Of Adjutant General Holds up
Guardsmen's Pay From State Be-
cause Fund Is Short.

Fargo. - Members of Company B
in this city and other companies of
the National Guard in the state have
received their certificates which call
for the payment to them by the state
of North Dakota $40 per month for
the time they served on the Mexican
border. These certificates must be
sent In to the adjutant general, who
will procure state warrants for the
sum each member has coming from
the state under the law passed at the
last session Of the state legislature.
What the boys shall do with these
warrants when they receive them be-
came a question when the adjutant
general issued an order to the banks
not to cash them. The adjutant de-
clares that the legislature failed to
appropriate enough money to pay all
the members of the regiment $40 a
month for the time they served on the
border and that some arrangement
will have to be made with the state to
take care of the balance.

VOLUNTEERS ARE SUCKERS"
SAYS BIG BIZ MAN, ASKING
UNIVERSAL SERVICE.

UNIVERSAL SERVICE.
THE time has now come when we
must admit that the patriot who
volunteers for military service is
more or less of a sucker"
A roar of laughter swept the ball
room of Hotel La Sale at the AssO-
citation of Commerce luncheon yes
teTday when Harrison B. Riley flung
out the above epigram yesterday.
Riley is president of the Chicago
Title & Trust Co., successor to Ira
NJ. CObe on several traction diTectO-
rates, and known as a Chicago
spokesman for Wall st. interests.
Riley was putting up an argument
that universal compulsory military
service is better for this nation now
than universal military training.
All who listened to Riley got a de-
finite impression that he has inside
information from his Wall st. con-
nectiOns that something will happen
the coming week to plunge this cOUn-
try into a war situation so thrilling
that there won't be any way out eX-
cept for the United States to send
men across to Europe.
IF our enemies on the other side
and say enemies advisedly-liVe up
to what they say, one week from to-
day will see the final break" said
Riley. IF a week from today we
face the situation which we probably
must face, it is time for us to quit
talking about training. We need
universal military service. There is
a time to quit talking fire insurance
and get out the hook and ladder.
IF we go into the war it is a sure
thing we will not merely pass out our /
dollars and sit on the eastern shore |
and stick out our tongue at the en-
envy. The cry is for men. France
is bled white. We must furnish men
and means. England is approaching
her limit financially. We must fur
nish men and means. This can ONLY

railroad and steamship lines, and in
agriculture-men making and trans
porting munitions and food supplies
should not be cOnscripted, the
speaker stated.
This subject of military training
is one of which 1 know nothing, you
know nothing, and the government
as represented by the previous speak
er (Maj. Paul MalOne) knows every
thing.
It was plain Riley wanted to give
impression that congress ought to
follow the wishes of the business in
terests of the nation even if such a
course is not in line with the general
sentiment of the people and the exact
words Of the speaker were:
Eve must furnish the push so that
our representatives in congress will
lead and not follow public senti-
ment."
Wild applause greeted the aTgu-
ment that the army and navy gen.
eraI. staff should have free swing
without interference of any sort
from the people, congress or any
other forces. The storm of hand
clapping came when Riley pro-
claimed:
"The judgment of the general staff
should be Unhampered."
Maj. Paul B. Malone, U. S. A, de-
iveTed a rapid verbal fire Of sneers,
jeers and filings at the United States
as a military and naval power, fetch
ing a loud laugh from his audience
when he said: Discretion cOmpels
me to go no further"
The main drive of MaIone's ora
ton was that a nation must make
war in order to keep economic SUI
premacy" and any businessman who
thinks our nation can gain and hold
world trade routes except by war or
readiness for war is mistaken.
