CHEER U. S. IN LONDON
DEMONSTRATION IN COMMONS
WHEN MESSAGE is RECEIVED.
London Press Says That America Has
Declared War on Hohen-
zolernism.

London, April A great outburst
of cheering greeted announcement In
the house of comomns by Chancellor
of he Exchequer Bonar Law that the
British ambassador In Washington has
reported his belief congress would
comply with President Wilson's recon-
mendations."
"The death knell of Hohenzollern-
ism" was the outstanding feature
which the London afternoon press
drew from President Wilson's address.
The Evening News carried seven
column headline proclaiming in bold
type United States Declares War on
Hohenzollernism." All evening news
papers printed the speech in full.
Long accounts of the scenes attend
ant upon the delivery of the presi-
dents address were published in the
noon editions of the evening papers
under big headlines, such as "Ameri-
cas- Weight Into the Scale" AN In
Jictment of Hohenzollernism," THE
United States at War;" Money and
Munitions for the Allies"
The Standard says Germany In
bringing the crushing material and
moral force of the great republic
against her was acting on only two
possible theories; first, that Germany
contemplates surrender, and that her
pride demands that she surrender
~
it means a desperate stalking of all on
the chance of starving England by her
submarine campaign.
ut Is on epoch-making message"
said the Evening News, "redounding
not only to President Wilson's per-
sonal credit and honor, but to the
credit and honor of the American peo-
pie. 1t is the death knell Of Hohen-
zollernism and all such darE, murder
Gus tyrannies.
IF the German people are not stir
red to the depths by the presidents
appeal in the name of liberty and CIV
ilization, then indeed they are beyond
all human hope"
line speech was one worthy OF the
OCCASION" declared the Evening Star.
Every Englishman now will hold
President Wilson in higher estimation.
1t Is more than a mere declaration of
war; it sounds the knell Of any form
of government which makes possible
secret diplomatic understanding and
lntrigues, with all their mlschievous
results"
A number of the British newspapers
point out President Wilson's clear dis
tinction between the German govern
ment and the German people. The
Pail Mall Gazette emphasized this
particularly, and concluded:
1.-THE vital essence of the speech
was the declaration of fullest war
measures and the most complete CO.
operation with the entente We have
much satisfaction in being Joined by
nation carrying so much Of our own
blood in u crusade more than worthy
of its best traditions and or ours"

At any rate it has been suggested that organizations be formed

And how it will hearten and entertain him when in trench

The high percentage of exemption claims throughout the coun-
try indicates that our young men lack the proper enthusiasm
about the war: Perhaps too many people have spoken to them
about being cannon fodder. The government has been working
hard to counterfeit the general apathy existing, but it seems to be
a hard task. We are in the war and must fight it out, yet here

AN UNDESIRABLE DISTINCTION.

= The Souris Messenger levels a severe indictment against the
people of Souris in the following editorial:
The Omemee Herald tells us it does not believe there
is a single unpatriotic individual in these parts
This is a most beautiful picture. Would to God it were
true. If Omemee has such a condition it is to be heartily
congratulated. We would like to say it of our vicinity.
1t would be a much more pleasant statement than the one
we are are going to make. We have some over here that
would pass muster as patriots. We have them in all
ence piled up against Kaiserism says "War what for" to
the damnabe whelp who damns the government and all
its efforts in this great crisis. Yes, we have them in
all shades from the tiny yellow streak to the deep saffron.
It does not make a pleasant picture and we would fan
bury our heads in the sand like the ostrich and imagine
all is well. But this is a matter for more serious things.
If Matt will stick around a while we will show him some
things that will give him a jar after SO long a sojourn
in the patriotic paradise in which his lot is cast"
Having puppets" and "whelps" in all Shades" from "Yelow to
deep saffron" it appears that Souris and vicinity is infested with
traitors in an unusual degree. The Courant dislikes to believe
that such is the case. The people of that section of the county
have shown their patriotism in furnishing a liberal quota to the
national army, in subscriptions to the Liberty Loan and a parti-
cularly splendid support Of the Red Cross. Has not the Messenger
attempted to use the cry of treason in order to crack a few poiti-
cal heads that are rather obnoxious to its editor?
We would rather incline to this belief than the condition pic
turesd in such dark colors in the Messenger editorial.

JAILING THE NONPARTISANS.

Government agents raided the I. w. w. and socialist
headquarters in practically every large city in the Unit
ed States last week, and carried off tons of literature,
letters etc, that will be used as evidence against those
organizations in proving they are working hand in hand
with Germany and against the United States. The Non

said\eague being placed behind the bars in the near
future, because it is a foregone conclusion that the non
partisan, socialist and l. ". VS.. have one and the same

war against Germany, and are working together but
under different names:-Vesta Minn) Censor.
North Dakota has no monopoly on the conversational
patriots" Minnesota also has a few, as indicated by the above
editorial from a newspaper of that state. Putting every men,
the method suggested in North Dakota-that of hanging a few
of the leaders as an example to the rest.
OF course such a plan is unthinkable-with the prevailing
high prices OF rope-on account of the war. But even failing the
hundred thousand Nonpartisans in the northwest is some stable
job.
Perhaps the standpatters would endorse state-owned jais-if
they could be utilized for the purpose indicated.
In ringing resolutions the Minot U. C. T. demand the resigna-
ton of Senator Gronna and also demand of Governor Frazier that
he conduct himself in a more patriotic manner. The Minot prune
peddlels are evidently dominated by some master mind who
thinks he sees an opportunity of getting the political scaps of the
two officials named, using the convenient expedient of branding
them as traitors. Governor Frazier may not demonstrate his
the useless parasites styling themselves travelling men, but he
has shown more real patriotism than any %grip-toter belonging to
the Minot Council of the U. c. T. And, by the way, if these fl-
lows are SO intensely patriotic, why don't they go out and fight
for the country in this national crisis? Most Of them could
qualify as volunteers, even if beyond the CONSUMPTION age, and
the Lord knows there is no class in North America that the
country can easier get along without.

Our business life both present and future is a

Corn thrives when small grains suffer. Live stock
