Bismarck Tribune,

Gentlemen:
Several of your subscribers here at
Max have read the article in your
issue of yesterday, saying that "MaX
people we're back of Senator Gron
na," and. that a. petition containing
1923 signers was sent to Mr. Gronna
congratulating him on his stand in
the United States senate against
President Wilson.
- For fairness sake, and through the
spirit of Americanism and loyalty tt
our president, take this opportunity
of telling you that another petition
was circulated, containing even a
greater number of signers, criticising
Mr.. Gronna for his stand, and asking
him to get behind the old U. S. A.
and stand by our president On the
other hand, if he did not feel so dis
posed, his resignation would be great
ly appreciated.
Your item in yesterdays issue is
misleading in the extreme, and
would ask that you correct the same
assertion, and tell your readers that
"All the people of Max" do not con
graduate Mr.. GrOnna in the above
mentioned matter.
Very truly yours,

THE PRESIDENT CAN.

In 1919, the Barbary pirates were
preying upon the commerce of this
and other countries. Congress passed
law authorizing the President to
employ the public armed vessels Of
the United States in protecting our
merchant vessels and their crews
from piratical aggressions, authOriz-
ing the seizure of any armed vesse'
or the crew whereof shall be armed
and which shall have attempted pirat.
ical aggression upon any vessel. This
law also provided that "the command
er and crew of any merchant vessel
Of the United States, owned wholly,
or in part, by citizen thereof, may
oppose and defend against any ag-
gression, search, restraint, depreda-
ton, or seizure, which shall be at
tempted upon such vessel, or upon
any other vessel so owned. by the
commander or crew of any armed yes.
sci whatsoever. not being a public
armed vessel of some nation in amity
with the United States, and may sub
due and capture the same"
Is Germany in "amity" with the
United States? Webster defines
'amity" as Friendship, in a general
sense, between individuals, societies
or nations: friendly relations; good
understanding" The synonyms are:
Harmony, friendliness, friendship, af-
lection, good will, peace.
Good understanding certainly does
not exist between our country and
Germany; harmony no longer exists;
friendly relations have been broken.
The ma iority Of our citizens retain
good will, though, towards the people
of Germany. The undoubted fact is
that Germany declared war upon the
commerce of the United States when
she inaugurated unrestricted subma-
rine warfare over great areas Of the
high seas. Our government recognize
ed this fact by recalling our ambas-
sador to Germany and giving the Ger
man ambassador to this country his
passports. The German government
replied that, Notwithstanding our pro-
test, warfare on our commerce would
continue without change
