DIRE DANGER.

The American government has con-
sistently refused passports to social
lists to attend European conferences
at which the German game was to be
played but there is every indica-
ton in the disquieting news from
Russia that we have unwittingly al
lowed plague of trouble makers to
be exported from the East side of
New York to Petrograd-and at Ger
man expense
One OF the last cables from the Rus
sian capital said out of over 1000
Russians who formerly lived in New
York and have returned to their ma
tive country, only one is openly sup
porting the existing government. Most
of the rest have joined the vicious
anarchistic elements seeking to plunge
the country into a wild maelstrom of
disorder
The Germans are already benefit
ting by the breakdown of the Russian
armies. If government under the ca
pable leadership of Kerensky is over
thrown, the situation will be dark in
deed. -
With the Germans advancing upon
the capital, with anarchy at home,
with news concerning Americas part
in the war distorted and falsified by
men recently from New York, there

NO TIME FOR CoPPERHEADs.

Fargo citizens did right in showing
their hostility toward the pro-German
sentiments of Eastman, whose publ
cation. 1.-The Masses" has been
barred from the mails. This is no
time to argue the merits of the war
The United States is in the struggle
and no influence can be tolerated that
seeks to destroy the morale OF the
nation or it's troops.
President Wilson has given an an
swer to the pacifists in his note to
Pope Benedict. Peace must come
from the German people-not their
rulers. Agents of pro-German paci'
fists who seek to lull the American
people into a state of Indifference to-
ward the war should not be tolerated
There must be no quarter for cop
perheads, and Fargo did right in turn
ing cold shoulder to Eastman. The
Peoples Council of America is seek
ing to nulIify war preparations and is
a propaganda that is hostile to the
safety of the republic.

will be dire danger Of a weary peo-
pie making a peace with the kaiser.
And that is probably exactly what
the East-side New Workers want, ana
what they were paid to bring about.
It has been their triumphant an
nouncement that one of the things
thew learned in America was how to
conduct strike. Apparently they
are ready to lead a strike against all
pro Russian government SO Germans
may get peace on their eastern front.
The unanimity with which these
men from New York have joined the
Holsheviki is suspicious. Presumably
they left Russia because it wa" i'm
possible to live under the autocratS.
Presumably they returned to enjoy
the same liberty they found in Amer
lea. But, il that were the case, they
would be doing everything possible
to hold up the hands of the govern
ment. Instead they are doing every
thing possible to break down the OPP
position to Germanism and kaiserism.
Why?
The conclusion is unacceptable that
these men are nothing but German
agents sent to Russia for the very
work they are now doing.

BEYOND THE PALE.

The "Welt am MOntag, Berlm
newspaper, recently printed an ac-
count of an incident connected with
the sinking Of the French ship Athos
about ESQ miles east of Malta last
winter.
Two German prisoners were shipped
from Saigon in Asia for France in
the Athos. On Feb II the ship was
torpedoed by a German submarine
The prisoners were in the lower cabin
and regarded themselves lost. To
their anlazement, the French nOn-com-
missi0ned officer, who had them In
charge, ran down in the sinking yes
sci, unlocked their door and set them
free.
They managed to save themselves
by swimming, but the generous
Frenchman lost his life as result OF
his humanity. When the prisoners
reached Marseilles they voluntarily
signed statement in which they paid
a tribute of gratitude to their dead
benefactor.
The Melt am Montag" makes this
comment: 49, -. ~,
Huge quantities Of documents of
hate are being published almost daily
here as well as there. In opposition,
it is fitting to point out from time to
time that humanity toward the enemy
also puts forth its blossoms in time
of war"
One is forced to speculate whether
blush of shame mantled the chech
of the German who wrote that para
graph So far as we are aware, hu-
mainly toward the enemy is a bios
som that is totally unknown to Ger
mans TO the contrary, they have
made hideous war more hideous by
their inhumanity, their lack Of all
decency and chivalry and fair play,
lIclI COuSLdllL dlIOCllltS.
They do not even display the or
binary craftsmanship of the good
fighter. They bomb school houses and
Stay little children. They fire at hos
pitfalls and kill wounded. They tor
pedo and sink hospital ships filled
with sick men. They make bluff at
rescuing men swimming in the water,
after their ship has been sunk, and
then deliberately submerge the sub
marine. leaving the men to drown like
doomed rats in a tub of water They
come up to the enemy with hands
aloft in token of surrender, crying
"kamerad," and then, when within
throwing distance, squirt liquid fire
over their foes.
There is nothing hateful, nothing
vile in the history CT the wars of the
world of which the Germans have not
been guilty. They seem deliberately
to have put themselves beyond the
pale of civilization. They are reck-
less of the fact that they have placed
blot upon the German name that can
never be wiped out and that will never
fade. In their lust for power, in their
zeal for frightfulness, in their belief
in the efficacy of ruthlessness, they
have left nothing untried.
War with them is no longer COM
bat. 1t is something more than over
coming the foe. Robbed of all chiv-
airy, gallantry humanity. war as prac-
ticed by the Germans is sheer horri-
BILE murder. To achieve it, they stop
at nothing. They are bound by no
rules of honor, by no respect for the
spoken word, by no regard for de,
cency

The exodus OF the 200 embryo army
officers toward Washington began early

II has been a strenuous five days that
the reserve officers have undergone, and
they welcomed the opportunity for a lay

The close of the second week Of the

place yesterday and the men who have
been serving as heads OF companies, step

THE MILTON SCHOOL.

Now that the United States has be-
come so closely allied to the Central and
South American countries socially as
well as commercially, the learning OF
Spanish by those anticipating work Of
any kind between these nations becomes
Imperative. Banking relations have been
established, large sums of American
money controlled by American interests
have been invested in property and en-
terprises requiring financial backing for
development. Intercourse between these
now commercially as we'll as geogra phic-
ally close nations has become a thing OF
daily talk and action. An unusual course
is offered at the Milton School, OF this
city, to prepare those desiring to learn
the use and fundamentals OF Spanish.
Grammar and reading are taken up Un-
der competent instructors
Courses in stenography. typewriting
and English are also afforded al this
school. At such a time as this a knowl-
edge of these subjects is invaluable to
all those who are contemplating enter
ing the government service. Private in
dustry, as we'll. demands the services OF
men and women proficient in these
branches. Many OF us are more adapted
to such work than others, hence you
should think the matter over seriously.

go to school at night at this school
Competent instructors and splendid
equipment comprise the pride of the

are overcrowded with work due to war

FOR responsible men and women in all
