The Editors Mail Bag

To the Editor of The Forum:
Sir: am not in the habit of writ
ing to the newspapers. but desire to
call attention to a matter l observed
at the fair last evening.
At the lowering of the flag, and
the playing Of The Star Spangled
Banner, many men paid no attention
whatever to the national anthem and
the flag, but sat down with their
hats on and continued to smoke.
am loath to think this disrespect to
the flag is intentional, but rather the
result of carelessness in some cases,
and lack of information in others.
There is, in army regulations, a pre-
scribed salute for soldiers at the
ceremony to which 1 refer a. 5--
Civilians should, if smoking, re-
move the cigar or pipe, and take off
their hats, and remain quietly stand
ing until the end, of the national
anthem.
The officially designated national
anthem is The Star Spangled Ban
ner, not America. Many people
stand up at the playing of America,
and sit down when The Star
Spangled Banner is played. The
salute and recognition should be
rendered at the playing of The Star
Spangled Banner.

of Detroit. Mich, and for Mrs. Thar
| aldsen and Mrs, Greenberg, who are
soon leaving Mayville. Miss Olson
and Miss Watson each entertained at
an evening party for Mrs: Robinson,
| and Mrs. Trabis entertained at an aft
| ernoon for the three, Mrs Robinson,
Mrs. Tharaldsen and Mrs. Greenberg:
There were delightful gatherings and
| they were thoroughly enjoyed.
Miss Helen Sullivan, deputy state
superintendent of public instruction,
was a summer school lecturer last
! Friday, her subject being Rural
| School Improvement. She spoke p2 =.
ticularly of the Parent-Teachers,
such organizations, pointing out sug-
gestive plans for such work. Her ad-
| dress was to the point and timely. In
| a few Introductory remarks she com
plimented the Mayville Normal school
upon it's good sense in building. in
| that its buildings are all on the same
architectural plan and are all built of
| the same kinds of material, thus max
ing harmonious group The enect
of this is especially pleasing.
On Monday, July 20, N. c. Macdon-
aid, state superintendent of public in
| struction, visited the school and spoke
OF the plans OF the state ONCE anu Oh
| fcials for betterment of the schools
and particularly, of the rural schools.
He emphasized the advantages of reg
ular attendance, longer terms, better
prepared teachers, Standardization
and consolidation. His address was
well received and presented the mat
ter of the teachers task clearly and
cmphatically. The state department
is making change in the method of
reporting per cent of attendance
which has been needed for many
years. The old plan was a plan
whereby the district could make a
| fine showing of attendance by hold
ing pupils out of school for FIVE days
| if for any reason such pupil or pupils
might of necessity miss one day. 1t
was an excellent plan for concealing
true conditions regarding attendance.
The new plan may not enable people
to congratulate themselves upon the
fine paper showing of high percentage
of attendance, but IL will result in
better actual attendance by revealing
the lamentablN amount of absence
now prevalent especially in rural dis
tricts and will stimulate an interest
in Improvement.

WHERE ARE THE VIKINGS?

In the days when the Vikings
sailed the seas. their attitude to-
ward anything that bore the re-
semblance to trouble, was: us this
a private fight or can anybody get
in?"
The blood of the Vikings still
courses through the veins of the
Norwegian race, and the insults that
are being heaped upon Norway
these days, must make loyal Nor
wegians hang their heads in shame.
Norway made the same mistake that
America did-compromising her
rights. The United States bore the
insolence. the insults, and the ag-
gressions of Germany until it was on
the verge of losing it's own self-re-
spect Il turned just in time.
Norway. with her national cour-
age and high spirit, blunted by a
long continued course of compromss-
ing with her conscience, is suffer-
ing from German ruthlessness, al
most as much as one of the combat
ants, and has no sense of pride in
her course to sustain her.
The story of Norway's wrongs at
the hands of Germany, as related in
The Forum Thursday evening is
almost unbelievable. Such injuries
as sinking one-third of the Nor
wegian ships, seem less exasperat-
ing than the contemptuous insol-
ence OF the Germans toward the
Norwegians. One example will be
enough. The crew Of a Norwegian
merchant vessel, which had been
captured by a German submarine,
was ordered by a Norwegian de-
stroyer which appeared on the
scene, to again hoist the Norwegian
flag. The destroyer, after arguing
the case with the submarine, with
drew, and the submarine again took
possession and captured the crew,
this taking place in Norwegian
waters. The crew will be court
martialed for hosting their own
flag.
If there is as much of the Viking
blood left as we think there is, Nor
way will soon be listed with the
allies. Separated by the sea from
Germany. she has little to lose by
declaring war. and she can regain
her self-respect as a nation.

An Editorial That May or May No
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

st. Paul Dispatch: The sudden
appearance of Secretary McAdoo
with a demand for a cool $4,000, 00O,-
900 additional for the prosecution of
the war during the present fiscal
year should serve to arouse Amert-
ca TO the seriousness of the war. The
first impulse is to complain that this
expense should have been earlier
foreseen, or that the government is
getting unduly gay with its demands
for funds and its spending privilege.
But whether these suspicious are
in any measure justified or not, the
overruling fact is that the carrying
on of modern warfare is an under
taking OF which history affords no
parallel. II this war has been a
financial shock to Europe 1t is des-
tined to be even greater shock to
the United States, which is de-
pended upon to serve as banker for
its allies, who have already spent
a great part of their substance.
Congress, which has been quib-
bling over millions in the adjust
ment of war taxes, naturally is
stunned by the new demands con-
yeyed in denominations only OF
billions. The senate, after spending
much time and agony in pairing
down the amount to be collected by
taxation a few hundred millions, is
about to be confronted with new
demands both in taxation and
bonds which will make its former
ouibblings seem like child's play.
1t is all a part Of the tremendous
drama which we have not even yet
begun to play, but to which we are
fully committed. Other shocks and
surprises are in store for us, We
NAV accuse this agency and that,
this official and that, of incom-
potency and mismanagement. But
we cannot blink the fact that we
have a stupendous contract upon
our hands.

one indeed for the allies.
The complete disintegration of the
Russian armies in Galicia dashed
the hopes that had been raised OF
possibility of bringing the war to
an early conclusion.
There seems little doubt but that
the Russians actually had a tre-
mendous victory within their grasp
The army had been plentifully sup
piled with artillery and munitions,
airplanes, aviators, and tanks, and
it was perhaps the most formidable
fighting force Russia has had in the
field since the very beginning of the
war. Russia has never been short
of men, and is not now, and this
time under General Korniloff and
General Brusiloff, their two most
successful leaders, they were pre-
pared to advance against a weaken
ed enemy, and with plentiful sup
plies.
Apparently a different plan of at
tack had been mapped out. Instead
of striking straight west for Lem
berg and Buda-Pesth a bigger object
was in mind. General Korniloff
with his army struck to the south
from the Dniester, apparently with
the intention of crossing the Car
pathians and coming in behind the
army that General Mackensen led
into southern Rumania, cutting his
lines of supply. This might have
compelled the Germans and Aus
TRANS to evacuate Rumania, and if
the movement could have been CO.
ordinated with an attack by the
army of General Sarrail in Mace
donia, the allies might have achieved
the object they hoped for when
Rumania entered the wharf.-the es-
tablishment of a line across the
Balkans with the cutting of the
Berlin Bagdad railroad, and the
isolation of Turkey. If such a move
ment had been successful, Turkey
could have been subdued without
difficulty, the Dardanelles taken,
Bulgaria overrun, and Austria and
Germany shut off from the agricul-
turaI products and the oil of these
countries.
Good Chance For Success.
1t would have been a master
stroke, and there was an excellent
prospect that it would have been
carried through, but for the disaf-
lection within the Russian army.
One disloyal division opened its
lines to the Germans, and they
were afforded a gap of twenty miles
through which to rush unresisted.
This. threatened the supply lines of
the Russian army to the south, and
it was forced to beat a hurried re-
treat in great disorder. Immense
supplies of munitions and artillery
fell into the hands of the Germans,
and with the army so disorganized it
has yet been found impossible to
make an effective stand.
The situation, while desperate, is
not without hope. Far to the south
the Russians and Rumanians are
pushing forward despite this crum-
bling of the offensive in Galicia, and
they are taking scores of villages,
ana hundreds, even thousands of
prisoners. Far to the north in
