GERMAN-AMERiCANS.

Sermons preached from the pulpits
throughout the land Sunday indicated
that the church is as unanimous as
the press to stand by President Will
son. German Catholics and Luther
ans alike pledged in their sanctuaries
devotion to the land of their adop.
ton.
Archbishop Ireland, speaking in the
St. Paul cathedral, exhorted his audi.
ence, representative of many races,
to be true and loyal to America.
Reverend Henry Hartig. a Minneap-
oils German Lutheran minister, stat
ed the situation in these simple but
no less eloquent words:
ITO our new Fatherland we
owe loyalty, because she received
us into her citizenship, aud gave
us all the rights and privileges
that pertain thereto. Our first
duty now is to think America first,
to act America first and 10 put
America first
Everyone realizes the irving posi-.
ton in which all German born citi-
zens of the United States are placed.
But they are showing themselves true
American patriots. Naturally they
will leave nothing undone to prevent
open hostilities, but if the break comes
you will find them shoulder to shcul-
der with the native born in defending
the nation.
The newspapers and the organiza-
tons through which the German-Am-
orleans speak have been quick to ex.
press their pledges of loyalty to the
government
The Tribune hopes actual hostili-
ties may be avoided and the sympathy
of all Americans should go out to
our fellow citizens who witness the
first rupture with Germany since the
establishment of the Republic.
There is no reason to worry over
the loyalty Of the German-Americans.

1t is intimated that there is another
hitch in the negotiations over a road
to the river. The city commission
has the power to project thorough
fare to the ferry landing without de-
lay.
The time will soon be here when
the road work can be resumed. In
the meantime, all preliminary steps
should be completed and the con.
tract awarded before the snow is off
the ground
Can we not get some action?
Is Bismarck going to be bottled up
another season?

CRISIS MORE ACUTE.
UNITED PreSs)

Washington, Feb. S.-The crisis be
tween Germany and the United States
appeared to have arrived today. Two
factors, at least, have been contribut-
ed to the belief in official..circles that
a crisis has, arrived. ~ ,-
First,s was the official version of
the torpedoing of the steamer Califor.
mia with 200 passengers and crew, in
Guiding many women and children,
and second, United Press advices that
Germany, contrary to all diplomatic
usages, is withholding passports to
Ambassador Gerard and other citizens
of the United States in Germany, pend.
ing information from Washington as
to Americas granting of safe con-
duct to Bernstorff and his party as
we'll as to Washington's Interpretation
of the old Prussian treaties.

PEACE REFERENDUM.

There is no question but that the
United States is for peace, but not
peace at any price.
The Tribune has no quarrel with
the pacitsts who seek to settle the
issue by a referendum, but has it &C.
stbcurred to them that Germany may de-
!! clare war. Whether we are to defend
ourselves or not can hardly be settled
''ssst the tolls.
d sstNtnGass the time to determine what
" lupk klfl stuff America is made Of. II
8 wes6fG q nation of mollycoddles, con.
tent with peace at any cost, the soon
er we find it out the better, for if this
nation is ready to carry pacifism that
far, 1t will not be difficult to measure
how far we are from total destruc
ton. ..'
Don't fight until we are invaded,
rants William Jennings Bryan.
He would follow the Chinese mot
to: IF man spits in your face let
it dry there
These are fine sentiments for the
race that created this nation in face
Of extreme adversely.
The Tribune refuses to indulge in
jingoism. Boosting at time like this
is as futile as it is silly. but we are
confronted with a condition, not a
theory
President Wilson has severed rela.
tions with Germany. The United
States Senate, by an overwhelming
vote, has endorsed that action.
Whether we enter the war is now
up to Germany. If she violates our
sovereign rights, war is inevitable,
and it will come so swift that there
will be no time for a referendum.
Our entry into this war does not
mean that we become an ally of the
Entente Powers. European disturb
ances in 1872 brought about cOndi-
lions on the high seas that forced us
to engage in a war with England
Then, as now, the nation tried every
expedient before it took the leap.
Even now we have differences with
England, too. that must be adjusted.
She has infringed our rights, also.
The Tribune is for an honorable
peace. 1t refuses to discuss now the
wisdom of the action taken by Presi-
dent Wilson in breaking with Ger
many, because the time has arrived
to stand by the President and show
every European power. Entente as
we'll as the Central Powers, that the
chief executive has united nation
behind him.
Rather than confuse the issues by
seeking a referendum, better far reso-
lutions supporting President Wilson
in his efforts to maintain the best
ideals of this nation as he sees them

eyes" Anderson replied, without
hesitancy. 1.-THE Minnesota legislature
in 1915 passed law permitting other
states to build terminals in Mime
sofa and to operate them as they saw
fit"
Manitoba's Experience
President Anderson then told OF
Manitoba's experience With state-own-
ed elevators "In 1910, Manitoba
built line of 80 local elevators. They
cost far more than they were worth,
and they were operated the same way.
Politics everywhere were rife. Politi-
cal henchmen got the jobs. They re-
ceived very little grain and lost mon
ey. Finally the Grain Growers Grain
CO. leased them from the government
and they now have assets OF $2O,OOO,-
600. Last year, buying at margin
of 1-2 cents bushels, the company
made 100000 and paid the province
six per cent on it's outlay of capital.
The marginal spread to the farmer
was reduced between ten and twelve
cents the bushel.
"Our position isl said Anderson,
that the government should act as
referee and not engage in the bust
ness itself" # 80
He also told of SaskatcheWan's ex-
perience with guaranteeing the bonds
of a similar elevator system which I'M
der cooperative management has been
very successful.
Tax Not Excessive
"A tax of fifty cents on the quarter
section with the 100000 we now have
on hand would furnish more than
$685. in year, sufficient to build
a terminal of 100000 bushels capac-
ity," said Representative Lathrop, az
ter little mental arithmetic. "There
is no reason why we should become
alarmed about leYying a direct tax for
the building of terminal elevators"

explanation is incredible.
