organization. All are men Of honor
and good repute, who are looking

cause this is long step forward and
the outlook for the entire community
is brighter than ever before.

always been at disadvantage on
account Of high interest rates; they
being just south Of the land brokers

ANOTHER NON-PARTSAN
LEAGUE,

Mr.. Townley, it appears, finds him
self outflanked by certain Minneso-
tans. who have organized a new Nom
partisan league in their state, and
who, at the outset, have had their or
ganization incorporated.
The Townley creation, which has
been so greatly in evidence In North
Dakota, and which 1t has been PLAN
ned to extend to other states. cannot
properly be called an organization,
for it is not organized. Not being in
corporated, it has no legal existence.
1t has never gone through even the
form Of organization in any manner.
The league is two years old, but there
has never been a meeting of men,
bers. an election Of officers, and no
constitution, bylaws, rules or regula-
tions have been adopted by the mem
bers. The thing started out with
Townley as boss Of everything, and
boss he has continued until this time
The so-called league program did not
originate with the members, but with
Townley, and the sole function of the
members with reference to it was to
swallow 1t.
The secretary Of state Of Minnesota
says that II he had been present when
the articles of Incorporation were
presented they would not have been
accepted. because he regards the new
movement as one planned for the pur-
pose Of counteracting IAN honest
agrarian movement" Assuming this
to be true. we do not know how this is
the business Of the secretary Of state.
1t would appear to be his business to
accept and record properly the articles
Of incorporation Of any concern which
seeks to be incorporated in accord
ance with the law. There his respon-
sibility ends.
The new league has the advantage,
as an organization appealing for pub
lie support. of starting out as an ac-
tual legal entiety. subject to law, and
with its proceedings necessarily con-
Quoted in the open and its officers
really responsible to its members.
Nothing Of the sort can be tolerated
by Townley, hence Townley is opposed
to the new league and all its works.

Unexpectedly stubborn resistance by
the French. It was necessary to post
pone, for the time being. the capture
Of Paris. and the armies entrenched
along the heights Of the Aisne in po-
sitions previously selected for. that
purpose. The retreat from the Marne
was described as merely the with
drawal Of outposts from advanced po-
sitions which there had been no ex-
pectation OF holding. The fact is that
the Germans had pushed their ar
mics forward as far as they could,
and that they were forced back, fight
ing, by the French and British who
opposed them. Their retreat was con-
Quoted with skill, and their new po-
sitions. carefully chosen. have been
held without great change until the
present time. The effect on home SEN
timent would have been bad had there
been an admission that the great mill
tary machine, unquestionably the fin
est in the world. had failed in the
purpose for which it had been Great
ed.
The present retirement is being ex-
planned in like manner. A few miles
of territory, more or less, is Of slight
Importance. The shortening Of the
line by the elimination Of salients.
otherwise Strengthening out the kinks
releases many men for a great often
sive which is hinted at The retire.
ment to new base renders futile all
the elaborate plans Of the enemy for
great operations against the base for
merly held. The retirement draws the
enemy from his trenches. All these
explanations are being offered, and,
Of course. they will be dutifully ac-
cepted in many quarters.
Those of us who are on the outside
may accept these statements with the
customary grain Of salt The present
retreat Is exactly what was predicted
by military critics as the necessary
result Of the pressure on the Ger
man lines. 1t was pointed out months
ago that one Of three things must hap.
pen. The Germans must stop the al.
lied advances at the points where the
strongest pressure was being exerted;
they must withdraw to a new base, or
they must lose important units OK
their armies and run the risk Of a
general rout. The Germans were un
able to stop the allies. They could
not afford the disaster which would
have followed the cutting off Of thei,
communications and the isolation of
great sections Of their armies. There
fore they have withdrawn to new po-
sitions, to resist new attacks
1t need not be supposed that be-
cause the Germans have retreated
they are on the run for home. They
are headed in that direction, but they
will fight and fight stubbornly. They
may put their fate to a test on a new
offensive on Calais. But the fact is
they have retreated because they
could not safely hold on.

|P0LITENESS
TOWARDS U. 5.
This Was Urged on German Pa
pers in Order to Keep
America Pacihed.

London, March 2s.-An intsrespt-
ed document, issued from the Ger
man general command, dated Muen-
ster. February, advising newspaper
writers how to deal with the new sub
marine warfare. which has been OBJ
tanned from a responsible source. con-
tains interesting paragraphs One
reads:
"rowards America 1t will be advis.
able to employ outward forms OF
friendliness. Unfriendliness would In
crease the danger of America coming
in-the rupture Of diplomatic rela-
tions, even active participation. hangs
in the balance The attitude Of the
press must not increase this danger"
Other paragraphs assert that Eng
lands claims to having perfected a
means of defense "are refuted by the
good results of recent months, which
are increasingly important because
abe enemy's mercantile marine is al
ready weakened and materially ex-
hausted.
Psychological influence should not
be underestimated. Fear among the
enemy and neutrals leads to difficult
ties with crews and may induce nsu.
trails to keep their ships in harbor."

journey at the rate of twenty miles
an hour would take 1858 years-that
Is. until 1880 A. d. The estimated
daily cost of the war is $lOS,400. 900.
The distance to the sun is 92,897, 400
miles. Enjoy yourself.
1t is impossible to visualize the
amount of constructive work which
could be done with that seventy one
billions. The cost OF the first subway
-S5O,O00,0O0 for construction and
$4,000, 900 for rolling stock and 9TH
er equtpment-was regarded a. tre-
mendous. Great Britain alone spends
more than that every three days for
her share in the conflict.
One Of the longest tunnels in the
world, II not the longest. the Loetsch-
berg tunnel through the Alps in
Switzerland. cost less than $1O,Oo0,-
900 to build. That Is under one-tenth
OF the daily war cost to the allies and
central powers. The cost Of the Pan
anna canal ts being spent every Ave or
six days by the allies, or every thir-
teen days by Great Britain.
The Teutonic powers are not spend
Ing as much money as the allies; in
fact. their expenditures have been
opponents. but even q days cost of the
war to the Teutons and their. friends
is enough to buy the land for and
build nearly three Woolworth build
ings. The site, foundation and con-
strucuon Of this tallest building Of the
world cost about S13,5O0,000.
The He'll Gate arch bridge has in
1t the longest arch In the world and
is one of the most sremarkable struc-
lures in the world. Germany and her
friends could build one daily. with a
Woolworth building thrown in. II she
were not spending the money in the
war.
There used to be. heated debates in
congress concerning, the number of
battleships we could afford-two or
three usually. At present France alone
is spending enough money to build
two or three day, and even little
Italy Is paying out every two days
enough for one battleship and two or
three destroyers.
Residents Of New York thought
when the budget was placed at $212.-
100000 that they were paying high
for the privilege Of living in the
greatest city in the world. France is
spending that much every twelve days
on war expenses and even Italy runs
through that amount every forty
three dayS
Grand Forks herald., 1917-03-23
COST OF THE EUROPEAN WAR

The cost Of the war in Europe is so
great that few persons are able to
grasp the significance of the figures.
1t mas been estimated that the amount
which has actually been expended for
war purposes by the various govern
ments had reached about $71,740,-
100000 on February 1 last.
This amount is more than eight
times the value Of all the real estate,
buildings. etc.. in the city of New
York. from the farms in the outlying
sectionst Of Queens and the Bronx to
the precious ground in the neighbor-
hood OF Broad and Wall streets. The
assessed value Of real and personal
property in the city is $S.460,s15,992.
50 Europe might have bought eight
cities larger than New York with the
money she has already spent in the
war.
II the cost Of the war were dis
tributed equally among all the inhabi-
tants Of the globe. from the Eskimo
I'M IN MS smelly isloo, who has never
bushman. who is equally ignorant,
every man, woman and child would
have to pay $44. The population of
the world Is estimated at 1898. .000.-
900.
Here ts another comparison. Sup
pose philanthropist or a caliph, as
Q. Henry would have put 1t, living in
the year Caesar was assassinated, "A
B. c., had in his Golfers the amount
spent in the European war and decid-
ed to give it away to poor people a
silver dollar at a time. II the poor
people kept coming at the rate of one
second and the caliph never took q
second off to get a bit to eat or snatch
a cat nap he would still be dealing
out q dollar second day and night
In the present year and would be
doomed to do so for 315 years more.
As the silver dollars he would handle
during the whole time would weigh
about 100000 tons he would be
rather tired at the end of his task.
The entire area Of Manhattan and
the Bronx could be carpeted with 25
cent pieces and about enough money
would be left over to spread another
layer on Manhattan island from For
ty-second street to the Battery.
A man with the money spent in a
single day for the European war in
his pockets could ride in taxi to
the sun and back, paying SO cents a
mile. and have $15,502. 900 left to tip
the driver. That is not such a large
tip as you might think either, for the
