OUR MIGHT.
When Uncle Sam Gets Good and
Rolled, There's Trouble.
minneapolis Journ


The might of the republic is behind
the president. The cannon and the
bayonets of the men of America rem
der his words as blows. The army
and the navy OF the United States,
arrayed for battle, will enforce the
peoples will. Columbia goes forth to
war, her men are. myriad, and her
power Is colossal.
OF the pure might of this republic
We can be proud. 1t shakes the earth
The nations quail before it. There is
none. now that America is aroused,
who is not in his soul awed. Even
the blood drunken enemy is alarmed
for the fury he has provoked. Amer
lea has been scrupulous to see that
she is right but she also has the
might to make her right good.
1t is Indispensable that we be right
But having seen to that, 1t is good for
us to contemplate the power that is
ours. Evil fears us, not because we
have the right, but because we can
exercise the might No tyrant can
bully the United States No oppressor
can shoot our old men and enslave
our women. No Hunnish brute shall
extort the last coin from our feeble
hand, or ship our workers to his
mines and factories.
We have the fist, we have the blow.
We can answer blow with blow, and
ours shall be the better one There is
no power of military or of money
that overtops this republic established
by Washington, preserved by Lincoln,
and now to be confirmed by this gen.

United States will have his hands full,
will find that he has taken on a giant.
1t is good for us, her sons and
daughters, to visualize the United
States in terms of concerto power
bayonets, battleships, factories, rail-
roads, FARMS There never was such
power, and the whole, of it will be
used, II required, to compel the enemy
to our will. Our fiat has been utter
ed. There must be peace, lasting
peace. And breakers of peace the
United States will break, aye, will
bray as in mortar.
This is not vain boasting. 1t is fact.
We are citizens of no mean country.
The American can be proud as once
the Roman was And this war Is
bringing home to each of us the con-
seriousness of a participation in a ma
ton that looms large, that is strong
as bronze, whose just will must pre-
vail
The armies of the United States are
gathering. The gates are swung open,
and forth streams the force that is in
vincible. 1t will tear the kaiser from
his throne of skulls. 1t will squeeze

be uplifted into sovereignty law and

will help poor Belgium to stand up
again. we will return to France in

gave us, and with Britain we will or

CHAIRMAN PLEASED
WITH RECEnT DRIVE
Y. M. C.. A. WORK ERS IN THIS
DISTRICT GOT RESULTS
REPORT LATER

Edwin A. Palmer, Chairman Of the
Eleventh District, Y. M. c. A. War
work is very much pleased with tbs
results of the recent campaign. The
following money has been reported
and paid in by the Chairmen of the
various counties.
Mountrail County, $174O95, L. R.
Sheldahl, Chairman,
Mckenzie County, $2O68.1O, Robert
Norheim, Chairman.
Williams County, $3242sO, F. P.
Bergman, Chairman.
A detailed statement will be made
by each Chairman for publication as
soon as all the reports are in.
Much credit is due L. r. Sheldahl,
County Chairman Of Mountrail county
for the showing made in Mountrail
county. He organized the entire coun-
ty by townships and in spite Of bad
conditions he succeeded in "goinC
over the top" in good shape.
The "drive" made by Chairma 4
Norheim of Mckenzie County has
made the other counties 2it up and
take notice. His aportionn,ent was
S12OO.00 and he has gone over that
more than fifty per cent. The same
was accomplished by a very efficient
organization and all this money was
collected by Mr.. Norheim and his eff
cient assistants with a nexpense to
the Y. NJ. C. A. Fund of only Five dol
lars. Hats off to Mr.. Norheim.
Williams County under the able
leadership Of Chairman Bergr an has
brought their quota far in excess Of
the amount asked by the District
Chairman and there are still some
communities yet to report.
Mr.. Palmer desires at this tine to
express his appreciation to the
Eleventh District for the generous re-
sponse made, for with the showing
there is not District in the state
which has anything on the eleventh
and their reason is that there are no
better or more generous Or more pa
triotic people anywhere in the state
than those that inhabit the eleventh
district

Governor Lynn J. Frazier this week

visory Board of Williams County in
connection with the new se'ertive

questionaires required before submit
ting same to the Draft Board.
Nearly all of the lawyers of the
county have already assured the CON-
mittee of their cooperation in tn

ience as possible throughout the whole

terly brought to an end, at least shut
out from the friendly intercourse Of
the nations"
Russian Developments
The developments in Russia, the
President dismissed in a few words:
"The Russian people have been
poisoned by the very same dark false
hoods" he said, "that have kept the
German people in the dark and the
poison has been administered, by the
very same hands. The only possible
antidote is the truth. 1t cannot be
uttered too plainly or too often"
Accompanying his recommendation
for declaration of war on Austria
the President in no uncertain terms
told congress it must make adequate
provision to protect the nation against
the alien enemies. He declared it
should create "very definite and par
ticular control" over all persons enter
ing or leaving the United States. Vio-
lations of the proclamations covering
enemy alien activity he declared,
should be punished by penitentiary
sentences for women as we'll as men.
Would Control PrOfteers
Among recommendations for legis-
lation connected with the war the
President included more laws to con-
troll profteering. The law of supply
and demand, the President declared
had been replaced by the claw of un-
restrained selfishness." To congress
itself the President made a plea for
economy in government expenditures.
The address in full will be printed
next week.

SUBMARINE WARFARE AND
THE PRUSS|AN AUT0CRACY
Germany Made War Us-Sunk Our Ships And Killed Our
Citizens And Broke All Pledges Made To This
Government

David F. Houston, secretary of Ag-
riculture Reviews causes leading to
the final break and war with Germany
all pledges ruthlessly broken.
Why is the United States at war
with Germany? Why all this prep
aration, expense, and jeopardy of
thousands Of American lives? Are
we fighting the battles of England,
France, Italy and Russia? Are we
in the war to pull the chestnuts of
the allies out of the fire? Are we
fighting to help them recover lost ter
ritory or to acquire new possessions?
Why do we fight at all? Why not
employ peaceful means? Why not
negotiate?
These questions are now being ask
ed not infrequently, especially by
German propagandists, by few dis
loyal natives; and by some unintelli-
gent and unpatriotic pacifists. Sucn
people imagine that the time is op-
perfume. They imagine that many
Americans are astounded and resent
full over the prospect of enormous ex-
penditures, burdens of taxation, and
sacrifices of life. They assume that
there is, or will be, reaction; that
the people have short memories. They
place reliance on the fact that :ae
scene of conflict is remote, that our
people can not appreciate that a de-
fensive war can be waged by forces
at distance and that aggressive az
ton may be in the highest degree de-
fensive.
The main answer to these enemies
Of America within and without is SIM
ple. We are at war with Germany
primarily to assert and to defend our
rights, to make good our claim that
we are a free nation, entitled to ex-
ercise rights long recognized by all
the nations of the world, to exercise
these rights without restraint or die
tation from the Prussian autocracy
and militarists, to have the kind OF

ELKS MEMORIAL
SERVICES SUNDAY
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS SERV-
ICES IN ARMORY-ADDRESS
BY H. E. WHEELER

The Elks memorial services held in
the Armory Sunday were attended by
a large crowd and were very impress
sive.
After selection by the Onstad Or
chestra the opening lodge memorial
services were conducted under tie
leadership of Exaulted Ruler +. +.
kleinsorge
The alter services were very i'm
pressive including as they did the roll
call of departed brothers and the
snuffing out of the lighted candles,
there being a candle for each of the
departed ones.
Musical selections were rendered
by Miss Janette Craven, mixed
quartette and by Mrs. Broderick and
Mrs. Creaser, closing with a selection
from the orchestra followed by the
singing of Auld Lang Sync.
The address was. delivered by Fl.
E. Wheeler of Minneapolis and was
one Of the best ever heard in the city.
AS the Elk lodge is purely an Amer
ican institution, (only Americans be-
ing able to join) the speaker spoke
at length upon the war situation and
the duties of every American 1nsti-
tuition.
In speaking of the absent brothers
Mr.. Wheeler said that many had come
to regard Memorial day as one of sad
ness and heartache but it should be
rather one of rejoicing. Every Elk,
he said believed in a supreme being
and therefore in life beyond The
bible teaches, and science as well that
the soul lives after what we call
death. He said that he firmly believ-
ed that science would prove beyond
loubt that we lived after death as our
conscious self and he hoped and be-
ieved that this proof might come dur
ng his life time. With such be-
ief said Mr.. Wheeler. death had lost
is sting and was not to be dreaded
md brothers who have departed were
lot lost to US but were waiting just
IN the other side to greet us as the
Absent Brothers" coming home.
After the Elks services Mr.. Wheeler
vas called upon for a few remarks
N Red Cross work and by his re-
marks proved that his heart was in
he said. He touched on
he Russian situation with words Of
heer. We have commented upon his
emarks about Russia elsewhere
