A LONG WAR.

If Russia eases out of the war, Germany
will not only be able to use against us the
armies now engaged on the eastern front,
she will also be able to get supplies from
that country.
But it is not necessary to wander IN the
land of speculation. Germany has suffi-
cient food for one year at least-that is
recognized by economic experts. The most
optimistic military experts realize it is i'm
possible to drive the Germans out Of
France this year. And the destruction of
every German submarine would not
weaken Germany, which is not dependent
on them for a single shell or a single sack
Of flour. The Allies would be helped neg
atively-but their military power would
not be increased.
Though this war is without parallel, a
comparison Of Germany with the South
will enable one to understand the future
Armies, expenses, battles losses are great
er now because resources are greater-the
balance however. is the same.
Without preparation for war, with an
improvised government Of no financial
strength, without munitions plants or
large industries, lacking both army and
navy-the South nevertheless was able to
prOlong the struggle for four years. and no
one will say that the privations and the suf-
ferings of today are more eXhausting than
were the miserieS borne then.
Germany, however, has been preparing
for forty years, its government is adaman-
tine, its finances firm its industrial and
munitions factories fully developed its fleet
is mighty one, and its army was the
finest in the world.
Germany, self sustaining, is no more cut
off from intercourse with the outside world
than was the cOnfederacy-if as much.
If, therefore, Germany had been as pro
portionately i'll prepared as the South. she
should be able, fighting on the defensive
to continue the struggle for a year longer
But Germany has the handicap of a better
beginning than her enemies; and while MI
meriCallY weaker than they are now, there
is not the vast difference between the two
forces that several years Of short ration.
and insufficient supplies made between the
northern and southern armies: endurance
should, accordingly, be proportionately
greater.
Of Germanv's ultimate defeat, there car
be, there must be no dOubt-but the wal
will not be short one, and before it is owe
the United States may have its full re
sources in the field.

Smith, of the Mississippi A. & NJ. college
and active head of the State Defense Coun-
Gil, says, that We conserve our wheat and
meat supplies by turning to diets in which
beans, peas, and other vegetables, rich in
nutriment, appear. We must find more
uses for milk, which is highly nourlshing
and even with the prevailing high prices of
foodstuffs, can be produced much more
cheaply than corresponding food elements
may be had in meats"

James A. Minder, brother-in-law of
Governor Frazier, and editor Of the
Crystal Call, does not mince words
in reference to the St. Paul LaFollette
conference. In view Of the fact that
Governor Frazier has never said any
thing about violated pledge at St..
Paul, this from the Call is interest
ing:
Senator LaFollette overstepped the
courtesy, in his speech at St. Paul
last week. 1t was understood that he
was not to talk on war issues, but
violated his pledge and gave utter
ance to words that brand him as an
enemy of his country, and should ex-
clude him from association with de-
cent people. The members of the
Nonpartisan league in North Dakota
will repudiate his views, especially
those who have sons in the army"
But Townley slapped LaFollette on
the back and Frazier presided at the
meeting.

This war has produced realization
on the part of all governments that
their duty to a wounded or Grip
pied soldier does not end with his
discharge from the army or the ces-
sation of hostilities.
In the United States the insurance
bill gives added protection and the
recent selection of nineteen cities as
prospective sites for as many great
Reconstruction" hospitals emphasizes
the thorough preparation which our
government is making to care for its
defenders.
The government courageously &C.
cepts duty to equip and re-educate
wounded soldiers, after their conval-
escence, and to return them to civil
life with an ability commendable to
that enjoyed before the war From
the time our boys leave their homes
the government stands behind them
If wounded at the front, the American
soldier will have the nations best au-
thorities at his side in an effort to
prevent deformity from wounds, to re-
fit the injured man for his place in
civil life and to reconstruct him .or
service to himself and the state.
These hospitals to reclaim men will
only care for the worst cases. Across
the water, just back of the firing line,
and at safer distances, elaborate hos
pitfalls will care for Americas wound
ed. Those whose period of GONZALES
cence is to be short will remain in
Europe for treatment, but those who
will be unable to return to the firing
line will come homo to the recon
structon" hospitals.
Here they will be taken care of un-
Ill able to take up trade. If unfit
ted for former occupations new indus
tries will be opened to them by train
ing that they can assume. 1t is good
to know that in this vital matter the
United States is to be we'll prepared.
The soldier who suffers physical DIS
ability for his country deserves much
and We are glad that America is
going to be able to stand by her dis
abled soldier with the same stength
that they exhibit on the battlefield
for her.-Pollock Progress.

Neville Journal: A great deal

Neville Journal: A great deal of
unfavorable comment was heard in
Lakota last Saturday on Senator
Gronna's conduct in not taking any
part in bidding the boys Godspeed as
they were leaving to enter the army
service at Camp Dodge, Iowa. Fri
day evening a reception was rendered
the Nelson county boys at the opera
house in Lakota and Saturday half
of Nelson county was present to see
the boys off. But Senator Gronna,
who was in Lakota at the time and
away from his post duty in Wash
ington was nowhere in evidence. 1t
is possible that he feared to show
himself in the presence of Uncle
Sans men after having done the
Kaiser's dirty wrok in st. Paul.

TowNLEY OWES NORTH OAK.

A. c. Townley, president Of the Nom
partisan league, appears in the roll Of
q much delinquent taxpayer in the
bankruptcy petition filed with Referee
H. F. O'Hare, Of Bismarck. This petit
ton indicates that he not only. owes
private creditors large sums but that
he is indebted to the state to the ex-
tent of several hundred dollars.
A. C. Townley and his brother, C.
S. Townley, according to their sched-
ule of liabilities, owe $7l.78 for per-
sonal tax in Mckenzie county, due
since 1912, and personal taxes in Gold
en- Valley county for 1910, II, IL. 10
and IA, aggregeting $244.21. These
with some personal items for medical
attendance charged to A. G. Towrlcy,
totaling $4,000, will be paid IL. full
because of their priority.
OF the balance of $7s,059 " owed
by the Townleys, sos ,351.73 is or Sc
cured claims, and $I2,261 on claims
for which no security is given. A
c. Townley lists as personal property
exempt $50 worth of wearing apparel
watch valued at $40, gun at SO
$50 in all, and cash in the bank at
about 1914. SO. The total assets are
listed at $431.50. Townley's brothe,
listing $37, including wearing apparel
at $40, watch at IS and $22 cash or
hand.
There is much conjecture as to just
what may lie behind Townley's going
into bankruptcy at this time. The
action is voluntary on his part.

Following the announcement that

rs physically unfit for military SER
vice, pessimists have been busy
spreading dire reports about the con-
dition Of the youth Of our country.
1--WE are nation of weaklings. We
have no stamina. We are degener-
ating," they croak.
This is not true. The fact that
many of our men were found to be
physically unfit for war does not in
dicate that they are degeneratcs
War is q particular calling. 1t re-
gu res men Of exc pit onal powers and
strength for its most active work.
and the mere fact that man fails to
pass it's requirements docs not mean
in any sense that he is weakling
and therefore unfit for civilian duty
We believe that the men of our
country are as fit as any natl n n the
world for the great conte t that il
calling them. We believe that it will
be shown when they get into active
service that they are the equal Of the
best. and that those who were found
unfit can class themselves as failing

standard, but to one which is infinitely
higher than usual civilian and indus
