new ORGANIZATION TO
STUDY war PROBLEMS
American Society of Industrial En-.
aineers Formed at Chicago.
(Ry Associated Press.l


Chicago, May 2S.-CharIes r. Van
Hise, president of the University Of
Wisconsin, was the principal speaker
at the closing session of the Western
Efficiency congress, the result of whose
three day conference to consider in
dustrial preparedness in its relation to
war will result in a new organization
to work out war problems. The new
organization will be known as The
American Society Of Industrial En-
gineers, whose purpose will be to work
out problems relating to the human
factor in industrial preparedness.
For fundamental products - as
wheat, corn, oats and iron-due to the
unreasonable profits of the producers
or manipulators, or both, prices are
beyond all reason" DR.. Van Hise
said. There is but one adequate
remedy to this-that is, authority Of
some administrative body to control
both prices and distribution. If this
is done we shall have taken one of the
absolutely essential steps to protect
the public against extortion and to
bring the war to a successful conclus-
ION"

THE BLUE AND THE KHAKI.

Down the street they came, the band
playing bravely in the lead.
The young men were erect. shorten
ing their pace to suit that Of the vet
Grams they were escorting.
The guests of honor walked with
difficulty. Some of them had to use
canes. Pathetically few they were in
numbers.
Their dimming eyes have seen the
sights their younger escorts will be
called upon to witness. They have
been through II all; the shrinking at
being for the first time under gunfre;
the long weary nights of watchfulness;
ing to get into action: the thrill of the
charge. Warfare has changed, but the
emotions 1t arouses have not. They
are perhaps intensified.
= We see the veterans with new eyes,
these days. They have acquired new
dignity to the younger generation.
Youth, in it's impotence, has perhaps
Held them too lightly in the past. Fifty
years ago they were the boys in khaki:
the boys who were doing what our sons
and brothers, and sweethearts are do
ing today. They are passing along to
younger shoulders. the burden they
took up half a century ago.
y "Breathes there a man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own. my native land"
II there was such a one in Fargo
yesterday. he stood on the sidewalk
without a tingle under his skin or
lump in his throat, when the little pa
rade went by.

THE VOTERS RIGHT.

Z The time has come for the sane, solid
citizenry Of North Dakota, rural and
urban, farmer and merchant, to strike
in politics.
The pendulum has swung both ways
in North Dakota-too far both ways.
There is little to choose between
thralldom to a coterie Of self seeking
politicians, and thralldom to coterie
OF self seeking agitators with a rule
or ruin policy.
There is a happy medium where the
voice of the average citizen is heard.
The average citizen Of North Dakota
has let himself be ruled for twenty
years. The time has come for him to
assert himself, and demand that he be
represented at Washington.
North Dakota doesn't want another
Gronna in the lower house at Wash
ington. One such, in the upper house,
state for sanity and patriotism can live
down.
North Dakota, first of all, wants a
patriot. A patriot shouldn't be hard to
find in the First district. His first
thought should be America and her
welfare; and no sympathy for the Ger
man cause, no untimely theories of
pacifism, no petty party politics should
weigh one hair in the scales against
serving the best interests of a coun-
try at war with a relentless, vicious,
brutal enemy.
i North Dakota, secondly, wants a
man who is big enough to take his
place in the council of the nation, and
one who will impress himself on that
body as man Of initiative, honesty,
efficiency, resource, and sound, sane
ideas.
The voters of the First district
should demand such a man as their
right. They should tolerate no attempt
at compromise; no lowering of the
standard they have set; no plea of
self interest or expediency.
That is where The Forum stands in
the campaign to elect a congressman
from the First district. 1t wants a real
leader that the First district can be
proud to claim as its representative.
There are such men in the First dis
trict, many of them. Now is the time
to think about choosing one Of them,
not three months after the election
when the district and the state may be
called upon to explain and apologize
to the nation for it's representative.

joint operation of state law and the
federal Webb Kenyon law, North Da-
kota will become "bone dry after
midnight tonight. This state never
has been wet" legally although for
many years the open saloon was
countenanced. Within the past ten
years, however, vigorous efforts to
make prohibition effective have been
made with considerable results. 1t
was not the intention, however, of the
last legislature which enacted the
"bone dry" measure, to take such a
firm stand against the Importation of
liquor. The effect is declared to be
fluke of legislation.
A bill was introduced in the lower
house which was aimed at curbing
blind -pigging" in the state. When
submitted to the senate the temper
ance committee of that body made
two amendments, one designating the
amount of liquor which might be
kept "for personal use," the other
stipulating that registered pharma-
cists might import intoxicants for
medicinal purposes. The bill as
amended was accepted by the SEN
ate and sent to the lower house for
concurrence.
In the hurry of passing the meas
ure the amendment providing for
liquor "for personal use" was omit
ted and the bill as finally passed and
signed by the governor allowed i'm
portation "for medicinal and sacra-
mental purposes only" The error
was not discovered until the bill had
became a law.

Washington, June 30.-For the av-
erage American woman who wants
to help her country in this war by
going to the front as nurse there is
no hope of her ever realizing her
wish.
Only graduate trained nurses are
chosen by the American Red Cross for
war hospital service. And nurses
aids are also specially trained and
chosen with the EXTREMIST care.
In previous wars, women nurses
were not infrequently seen on the
battle field.
In war today they never get any
closer to the front than the base
hospital, which generally is out of
sound of the cannonading. The ma
chine gun and the barrage of modern
warfare has forced the retirement OF
women into safer fields.
For the first time in the country's S
history the United States is sending
to the front modern hospital equip
ment. Uncle Sans sick and wound
ed in France will receive as good
care as they could get in any hospi-
tai in the United States. The best
surgeons and the best nurses in the
country are going with the troops.
When the American Red Cross was
organized in 1905 the principle was
adopted that not merely trained nurs-
es but nurses of character and ex-
perience vouched for by recognized
hospitals could be enrolled in the
Red Cross service.
She receives only $50 per month
while in service. Her hours or work
at the base hospital are irregular but
mostly long.
General Pershing's contingent prob
ably will be served by army nurses
who were on the Mexican border
