WAR AIMS HAVE NOT
CHANGED.

"One peace resolution offered
in the United States Congress
now is a greater asset to the
Kaiser than a thousand men on
the firing line. Any Socialist
who does not understand that
this is the final, decisive strug-
gle between autocracy and DEM
ocracy is too blind or too dull to
understand anything about So
cialism. Loyalty to the United
States government in this crisis
is loyalty to every ideal or Inn
provement to which we, have
subscribed and a lack of support
is treason to every article Of
every creed of reform.

Paris. July 25.-The sporting in
stincts of young America are
tremendously appealed to by a pro-
fessiop which exacts qualities OF
courage and skill to the Nth power;
the rapidity with which they are al
ready enlisting in this service, both
in England and France, putting
themselves under the tutelage OF
men Of brilliant achievements and
acknowledged authority is illuminat-
ing in this regard.
Before the United States was at
war, the only regular way our young
men cou.s help was in the ambu-
lance service, and so splendid has
this service been, that. even after
the declaration of hostilities, 1t is
probable that more than a few, in
spired by a far reaching propaganda,
believed this to be the solution for
those too impatient OF training
camps and the slow moving, official
machines. To be the Ambulancier.
that has been the ambition of nine
out of every ten Of our boys, in
spired by lighting fervor and the
cause of the allies, which is now our
cause as well.
To fight with France. To do my
bit" to carry on the great war to
success.

platform enunciated by one of them

er coolly, "In England we let the

This was such a blow that immedi-
ately on landing the young chap ap-
piled for and was admitted to his
apprenticeship at a training school
for aviators, signing with the French
army until the end of the war, for

THE YOUNG MANS ANSWER.

Congressman Norton wonders what
the young man under 80. who stays
out Of this war, will answer in years
to come, when he is asked: And
what part did you take?"
Some of them can say: 1T was an

and spoke against the CONSUMPTION
act; others, Il agitated for new
declarations Of peace terms at every
opportunity; others, II urged the
folly Of sending American troops
abroad to fight the battles Of other
countries.
But thank Heaven. Congressman,
they are a very small. although very
noisy minority.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task of
Keeping Up With North Da-
kota Editors.

The Bismarck Public Opinion
dives into The Forum swimming
pool. The Public Opinion man think
it such a good plan that he wants
one for Bismarck. Here is what h,
says Of the suggestion that the low
lying ground near the Armory b,
turned into a swimming pool b!
using Red River water filtered
through the old city filter:
Fargo is not going to wait for
another 100 in the shade spell
before she takes up the PROPOSE
ton of a suitable bathing and
swimming pool or pond. Bis
marck shouldn't either.
From a business standpoint a
place to swim would be a big
asset. The men and women en-
gagged in industry would be able
to do more efficient work If they
could get away from the hot
winds by submerging themselves
in some clear, cool water.
Fargo is discussing the build
ing of pool in an overflow of
the Red River. We have the
same chance here with the Mis-
souri, or a pond could be built
in Custer park or a Y. NJ. c. A.
could have a swimming pool in 1t.
The jamestown Daily Capital lett
1t be known where 1t stands on thu
question of Americanism, with tn,
following editorial:
There is no middle ground in
this war. No person who is an
American citizen is justified in
remaining neutral or passive so
far as America is concerned.
There are only two classes of
people now-those who are not
for the country. Uncle Sam
wants no semi allegianee. Those
who are for America must be
for it to the limit. They must
be American clean through.
There can be no excuses and no
exceptions. A true American
will stand by his country in war
as we'll as in peace, in danger as
well as in safety, to the end
that the country may survive
and its liberties preserved for
all time to come. Any other kind
of an American isn't deserving
of his citizenship.
The Larimore Pioneer draws some
lessons from three years of war
Here are some of them:
The war that began three
years ago has brought us three
years nearer to peace. it has
done some other things;
IL has brought us nearer to
the time when the people Of ev-
cry land shall rule and be the
sovereigns OF the state. and not
the servants of a sovereign.

They thought that the state was
not taking the war seriously enough.
Whether they were right or wrong is
not the question. They felt 1t their
duty to start a lone handed tour to
spread the gospel Of good American

speak on the subject from their own
services to the country.
Travelling by automobile they have
held meetings in 200 towns in North

Good News, Mothers!
Vice Is Not Going to
Camp Near Your Son

DR.. V. c. Vaughan, major IN the l. .
medical service, confirms the good news
developed by DR.. John R. Motifs recent
visit to Detroit that the lads American
mothers give to their co lntrys defense
are in turn to be defended from the ma
tons sinister enemies that are more deci-
mating than bullets.
The scandal and shame Of FL Paso'
where the camp was fringed with saloons
and scarlet houses, is not TO be repeated.
The government gives signs at last OF an
appreciation Of its accountability for the
physical and moral well-being Of the
young men it withdraws from the refine
ments and restraints of home to enforce
the national decree that the world must
be made safe for democracy:
The young manhood Of Michigan sut-
fered from the commercialzed vice that
was tolerated at the Mexican border. The
extent of infection from an avoidable
disease has been a painful disclosure
There is official authority that the Ca
madam soldiery has suffered more from
the Haunting infamy of London than from
the attacks of Teutons.
The Times recently advised as drastic
treatment of camp-following courtesans
as military law imposes upon all other
foes. There is a story by Guy de Maui
PEASANT in which Cyprian claims deco
ration above the heroes in arms who
have only slain a few enemies, while
she has reduced the ranks Of the foe by
hundreds.
The impelling motive of our participa-
ton in the war has cleared the atmos-
phere of confusion and given us a noble
battle-cry. Bloodlust, ambition, greed
have no place in our adventure on the
field of arms.
Equally glorious is the government
determination that our just cause shall
not be furnished by the liberation OF
maIgn neighbors of our citizen armies.

The Times can sympathize with S. S.

Mr.. Kresge is just beginning to get his
punishment for standing up for prin-
ciple.
He was very active in the dry cam
paign of last year which put the brew

troit and Michigan out of business.
He is just as active right now in the
campaign for national prohibition.

taken, there is a connection between this
faci and another fact, which other fact
is that Mr.. Kresge came out into the
open last year and fought the men and
interests that are still slavishly repre-
sented in our city's government.
