The Editors Mail Bag

To the Editor of The Forum:
In an article in last weeks issue
of The Van Hook Tribune, headed,
1T Sounds Plausible" attacking the
hotels and restaurants for establish
ing days without meat, and days
without wheat, and the lack Of pub
fishing a difference in price of meals
on these days, we have this to says,
That hotels and restaurants are not
doing this on their own accord, or
not as a means of getting more
money out Of meals, which it is i'm
possible to do, as they have to serve
something else in the place of meat,
equal to it in price. Furthermore, the
hotels and restaurants have been
asked by the food commission to
sign pledge card for one meatless
day a week to do their bit" in the
food conserva ton work, which is
only the duty of every patriotic
American man, woman or child to
comply with. Whether it's a small
guy or q big one he ought to have
enough American blood in his veins,
and be patriotic enough not even to
think Of a small reduction in the
price of a meal on account of being
meatless. Pretty small business, we
claim for the author of such an item
to put before the public. Further
more, as far as We know, we haven't
had any meatless days so far in the
hotels and restaurants here, and the
kick is made altogether too soon.
There is no reason for 1t whatever.
We trust, however, that there is no
man so small but who is willing
and patriotic enough to pay the reg
ular price for meal, meat or no
meat.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The Minneapolis Tribune: Ameri-
can business men must appear a.
queer, contrary minded lot to those
Socialists. pacifists. |. w. w, pro-
Germans and other -steerers
of public opinion who have been
howlingly insistent that we were
plunged into war at the behest OF
special interests" and greedy
prOfiteers" who had nourished a
grand little scheme to fill their pock-
cts with bloodtinted gain by gouging
the people.
The war is here-thats certain,
and instead of going ahead with their
fIching program these queer bust
ness men are yelling Amen" to
proposal that during the war the
government shall fix or regulate
prices of nearly everything that
human being needs to wear, eat or
use.
The Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States represents more manu-
facturers, merchants and profession
al men. and more capital perhaps
than any other organization in the
land. 1t conducted a country wide
referendum on this price fixing
question. Incomplete returns show
that nine out of ten who voted are
in favor of government supervision
If selling prices of all necessities of
life. The vote is overwhelmingly for
legislation broadening the powers of
the government to deal with prices;
for price control Of all articles requi~
site to basic industry; Of raw mate
rails and finished products, the con-
troll applying alike to government
and private purchases. One of the
votes favors, to /, the distribution
of available supplies to purchasers
under the direction of an executive
board to be appointed by the Presi-
dent.
The bunko- steerers to the con-
trary, we contend that American
business men would have opposed
war stoutly if their attitude had been
based on selfishness and a desire to
grab undue profits. The vote they
have just taken goes to confirm the
declaration of manufacturers at At
lantic City some time ago that they
were for patriotism without profit.
Don't be surprised IL the bunko-
steerers call II a ''stTategic retreat. I"
But what they say counts for moth
ing now against the facts-not with
reasonable people,

Germany had depended alone on her
armies and navies, she would be
overrun today.
The bitterest irony of it is that
Germany has used the most radical
elements in every country to further
her own ends-the ends of the most
autocratic government the world
knows. The men who profess to wor-
ship freedom and democracy have
been her ready dupes.
Germany alone is fighting a 100
per cent war, using all her resources,
political, military, and social for
but one end. Her opponents well
may refuse to descend to her level
in all things, but they will have to
come to an so per cent or a 80 per
cent war, if it is to be brought to
an early conclusion. Plots can be
met with counter plots. Fraterniz-
ing can be met with fraternizRng. Air
raids may be met with reprisals'
When Germany starves our prisoners,
we can't starve hers in return, but
no weapon whose use is permissible
in international law can be over
looked. Only last week did the Am
erican government seize German pat
ents in this country. although the
war is six months old and American
medical men and manufacturers have
been clamoring for German drugs
and dyes. That is a fair example of
the 40 per cent war America is fight
ing,

CULTURE AND kULTUR.

I'VE are making war on Ger
man autocracy not on the Ger
man tongue, German literature,
German art. German science,
German fnusiC-nor even on the
German people.
rudolph f. Mueller's plea to
keep German in the high schools of
North Dakota.
In the name of common sense, Mr..
Mueller, on whom are we making
war?
The Kaiser and his sons haven't
fought this war alone.
They didn't invade Belgium, and
Serbia, and Russia and Italy alone.
If America isn't fighting the Ger
man people yet, we shudder to- think
of the time when they will get into
the war.
The Forum doesn't know Mr.
Mueller, and has no desire to ques-
ton his personal loyalty or goou
faith, but 1t would like to make this
answer to his plea. Experience has

fear from German music, or German
art, or German literature, or Ger

has something to fear from their ex-
ponents in this country. They have
been more interested in spreading the
German part Of 1t than the science
part Of it. The sugar coating Of

bitter pill Of "Kultur".
And with the German people un-

difference. Until the Germ IN people

THE PENALTY is PROVIDED.

If the story that comes out of Chi
cago regarding the destruction Of
food, is confirmed. the food bill pass
ed by the last session of Congress
provides the penalty.
Those responsible for such a crime
may be arrested and punished. No
fine should be imposed. A prison
sentence is the only fitting punish
ment, and it should be the maximum
perNaitted under the law. The pros
ecution should be prompt and vigor-
GUS, and every other city in the coun-
try should take prompt steps to see
If the same outrage is being perpe-
trated elsewhere.
There is no ground for believing
that food is being allowed to rot in
Fargo railroad yards or warehouses,
but it would do no harm to investi-
gate, and learn the truth.

WAR CAMP FUND
BEING RAISED
Weeks Campaign For 49,
10000 In Progress
Throughout Country
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, Nov. 5. - Beginning
today and continuing through the
week there will be in active swing
all over the United States drive
for a fund of $50, 10000 to be raised
by the War Camp Community serv-
ice.
Thousands of ministers yesterday
preached on the importance to the
morale as well as the fighting spirit
of the army, of proper community
service for the men in uniform. This
opened the campaign. During the
week, through local committees
organized everywhere, cities and
towns viii raise the quota assigned
to them of the total amount.
With the Endorsement of President
Wilson, Secretary Baker, Secretary
Daniels, Srmy and navy officers and
other prominent officials who have
seen the value of the work, the war
camp community service has been
established to accomplish, in general
three things, according to state
ment issued here at the headquarters
of the organization. They are:
Proper community reception of the
American soldier and sailor.
Development of a stronger national
spirit among the men in service.

Why Doesn't Japan
Fight?
One Writer Questions Whether
Russia Would Welcome
Foreign Army.

Gregory Mason i'm The Outlook:
Would the Russians welcome a for
eign army or would they betray it or
openly oppose it? Would Japan's
price for her aid be too high? Would
it be making Japan too powerful to
let her help Russia? Or would there
be more ultimate danger to the bal
ance of power in the Far East and
to peace in the world by letting Ger
many expand across Siberia? Is it
practicable for America to help Rus
STA fight, or would she better confine
all her efforts to helping France and
England on the western front?
Such questions as these are con-
stantly demanding attention. They
ought to be answered, however, not
by the allied governments, but by
the allied peoples. These peoples
ought to insist on being told all that
their governments know.
The other day a Paris newspaper
asked why the Japanese We're not
lending Russia their physical as
sistance. A few, days later a Petro-
grad newspaper raised the same
question. / have heard the same
query in the mouths Of scores of
Americans, and all who ask this
question imply that Japan is not
doing her part. And yet am told, on
good Japanese authority, that Japan
has never been asked to help Russia
i'm fact, that she has reason to be-
lieve that the Allies do not want her
to do much in this way. Then, in the
name of common sense, why can we
not have an official statement on
this and similar questions, or else let
the people decide? Must the peoples
Of the allied democracies be treated
as if they were subjects Of the Rus
sian car?
One of the finest contributions
which the Russian revolution has
made-to political progress is its clear
cut denunciation of secret diplomacy
We who are fighting for democracy
cannot afford to become autocratiC
i'm the management Of our war, for
what we may gain by the more di-
rect application of our strength we
will lose by the enfeeblement Of the

tives and tories must see the folly
of dealing with young Russia by
secret. diplomacy

Congratulations TO the new own
ers of The Bismarck Tribune.
The Tribune under the guidance
of George D. Mann and Ensley A.
Weir, the new owners, will branch
out into the morning field, and here
after publish two editions daily,
morning and evening.
Few communities in the United
States the size of Bismarck can
boast of a newspaper Of the stand

no reflection on Bismarck to say
that The Tribune is ahead Of it's
field. It is leading, not trailing, and

many would soon be again ready to
make war: and who can consider
her record and doubt that she would
do so?
~ Time For Weakening.
At this time Prussia making
peace is more to be feared than
Prussia making war. This is no time
for weakening. The interest of all
civilized mankind-and particularly
of the German people-require the
establishment of those principles OF
international law which Germany
has flouted and denied.
In every war of vast magnitude
earnest and well intentioned, but
misguided, people urge peace when
peace is perilous. Thus 1t was in the
dark days of the Civil war: the paci-
fists of the time urged Lincoln to
make peace, and Lincoln was de-
nounced by them far more bitterly
than anyone has had the hardihood
to denounce President Wilson. To-
day every sane person in the land
knows that Lincoln was justified in
the course he took, and that the
HcbG4ALSlS "STC "IbnBs 116u
sci Of the pacif1sts prevailed It would
have been great disaster to civiii-
cation.
Prussian contempt for civilization
and law forced us into this war
against our wishes and inclinations.
We shall not lay down the sword
until we have forced Prussian-ruled
Germany to respect civilization and
international law. We must insist
upon an end being put to the anarchy
and brutal arrogance of Prussian
militarism.
but not for the peace which Prussia
would impose upon the world-the
peace which comes from submission
to the tyrant's yoke. We are for the
peace Of justice and righteousness;
andew mean to attain 1t, no matter
what the sacrifice may be.

Americanism an issue in the New

looking at the example of Chicago

WHY JAPAN DOES NOT SEND
MEN.

In another column of this page this
evening, is a discussion of the ques-
ton why does Japan not send
armies to Europe?
The writer apparently has over
looked one most important reason,
It might be summed up IN one word:
transportation.
The single track Siberian railroad,
choked with freight. and in a state of
physical Generalization, is in no
shape to transport armies and sup
ply them. 1t would take two to
three times as many ships to trans
port and supply Japanese armies, as
it would armies even from America,
and the ships are not available.
Russia doesn't lack men, nor are
men the greatest need of the Allies.
Guns, ammunition, supplies of all
kinds, and ships to carry them are
the greatest need.
