"We must concentrate on Victory"
were the words Of Lloyd George in a
recent address. We must all oncen
trate on Victory in the approaching Y.
M. C. A. Canvass, if we are to have
victory in the war. Next week, Nov,
II to 10, is the week which has been
set for the raising of $35,000,O00 in
the United States for the Y. M. G. A.
War Work. OF this amount North
Dakota's apportionment is $125,00O.
This makes the amount of $4,000
raised. last year seem small. But it is
a big job that we have undertaken and
big jobs require big efforts.
Lloyd George suggested to the Eng
lish people that they divide their in
come into four parts, (1) That which
must go to the support of the Family
(here strict economy should prevail.)
(2) The second is that which must
be turned over to the government in
taxes of various kinds. (3) The Bird
part should be invested in Liberty
Bonds, and the "a; Fourth which is,
all that is left should, in such a time
of national crisis, all 60 to the Pa
triotic funds of various kinds, the
cl urches, the schools and the Red
Cross and the Y. N. c. A. Next week
the Y. M. c. A. is to ask for its share
of thnis part Of our income and it de-
serves our loyal support.
One incident, which is all we have
room for, selected, from thousands of
similar ones, illustrates the work Of
the association at the front: "The
leader of one of the biggest huts or
groups of huts in France was en-
d~eavoring to fix up a sing-song from
the platform one evening. He appeal
ed to the men to help by taking part
in the program. For some time there
was no response. Then a drunken
soldier stumbled up onto the platform
and said "Whats' the MISTER, padre?
Won't anyone help ye? Never mind,
padre, I'll give yer a hand. what
would yer like to do? I can sing, I
can recite, or I can pray" "For a
moment, the leader hardly knew what
to do-he could only pray that God
would override this incident to His
glory. To his dismay the drunken SOL
der staggered to the front platform
and said, "Let us pray" He then-be-
gan his prayer: Everlasting Coo,
everlasting God, everlasting God.
There he broke down and with a sob
said, T had a good mother. I've been
a d. fool. God forgive, ne"
That was all-Godh Heard that
drunkard's prayer. From that night
forward the man was changed. Mr..
Hiley could hardly move but the SOL!
der followed him. In hundred
ways he helped padre. A few days
later he was sent up the line and was
killed in action.

CENSORSHIP AND
PROHIBITION KILLED
SENATE MAKES CHANGES IN
THE ADMINISTRATION MEAS.
URE AND THEN PASSES 1T.

Vigorous efforts to retain provis-
ions for newspaper censorship and
partial prohibition, together with
foodstuff conservation, during the
war, eliminated in final votes in
which the senate voted AZ to 81 to
eliminate all provision for the press
censorship. On behalf of the admin
istratiOn forces Senator Overman, in
-s!AoId su!s4uOO II!q 9snoq qua sV
'esneIo d!qs1osueo peg!pom g 4Iesu!
-eI o4 peAom peq ITO qua 10 e5Ieqo
ion for determination by the jury of
culpability for violation of censor
ship regulations to be promulgated
by the president, the administration
is expected to bring strong pressure
for drafting in conference of a COM
promise censorship section.
On the question of prohibition and
foodstuff conservation, the senate by
vote of as to 81 reversed its action
of Saturday in accepting Senator
Cummin's amendment providing that,
during the war, manufacture of ce-
reals, grain, sugar and syrup into in
toxicating liquors should be prohibit
ed.
An amendment by Senator Thomas
to suspend, during the war, exchang-
es and boards of trade permitting
future" tradings in foodstuffs was
rejected, 40 to "a, after three hours
stormy debate. Many senators felt
that it was an improper subject for
the espionage measure and should be
more adequately considered when
some of the various food bills are
taken up, probably later this week.
The senate voted, So to 90, to re-
tain that part of the mails espionage
section which some senator's say will
give the postmaster general drastic
powers of censorship.
Both Senators Smith and Hardwick
voted against the amendment to re-
store the censorship section of the
original bill. Senator Hardwick vot-
ed to strike out the prohibition
amendment, and Senator Smith is
not reported as having voted either
way.

MAY CONFISCATE
KAISER'S PROPERTY
GERMAN EMPEROR HAS MIL.
LIONS OF DOLLARS INVEST
ED IN UNITED STATES.

Emperor William of Germany may
lose millions of dollars invested in
private enterprises in the United
States prior to the declaration of
war, if the United States follows the
rule OF coniscating the property of
alien enemies as has been done in
Europe. The kaiser is known to have
had $4,OOO,000 invested in the Union
and Southern Pacific, Illinois Cen
trail, Atchison-Topeka and other rail-
road bonds. In addition the kaiser
ines private investments amounted
to $500,000 and other members of
the house of Hohenzollern had large
investments. The kaiser also was
one of the largest stockholders in
the Hamburg-American and North
German Lloyd steamship lines, which
lost scores of interned vessels in the
United States.
No action has been taken regard
ing these private holdings by officials
IN Washington. 1t is believed that
they are waiting to see what the
kaiser will do with American pos
sessions in Germany. In all events it
is believed the government will make
a distinction between property by
German citizens and property owned
by a member of the royal house of
Germany.
Gave Up Land in Canada.
Prior to the war Emperor William
was one of the largest individual land
owners in Northern Canada. He did
not hold the land in his own name
but under names of Germans who
had been naturalized in Canada, no.
table among whom was Count Hans
Won Alvensleben. When war was de-
clared DR.. Dernberg was sent to the
United States and deal was clos
ed whereby the kaiser transferred
his holdings to a syndicate in the
United States.
Germans in America evidently
fear confiscation. German stocks have
been withdrawn from the American
market since last autumn and have
been transferred to Argentine and to
Mexico. Great quantities of German
gold were taken to South America
and may be lost if those nations fol-
low the lead of the United States
IN waging war against the kaiser.
