RUNAWAY BOYS HELD HERE

Two boys, giving their names as Tom League and Alton Chicks, ages 13 and 12 years respectively, were taken in charge by City Marshal Stub blefeld last night when they were trying to lodge for the night in the waiting room of the Missouri Pacific station.
 Upon questioning them they said their homes were in Little Rock, the oldest giving his address as 14th and Marshall streets, and the other at 2016 West Eleventh street Mr. Stubble- field immediately put in long dis tance call for the two street addresses and was informed by the parents of the League boy that this was not the first runaway he had made but was guilty of doing this stunt a number of times. The boys parents told MT. Stubblefeld to bring the boy to Little Rock and they would pay all expenses. It was found that the Chicks boy had no parents, but had been living with his sister, who told the officer that she would not be responsible for the ex- pense of delivering the little fellow home, as he also had been guilty of running away from home a number of times. MT. Stubblefield is undecided as to the best course to pursue in dis posing of the younger boy. They gave no reason for leaving home.

OUR RURAL PUBLIS SCHOOLS

The time is so short for children to get what benefits the rural public schools afford that parents are justi- fled in making almost any reasonable sacrifice to give their children chance to attend every day of the ses- sion. That there will be sickness and other misfortunes to prevent some from attending every school day often happens, but farm work, as important as it is, should not keep children away from school if it can possibly be avoided
 More attention is now being given to the schools than usual It would seem that there is a strong sentiment among rural people to improve the schools and see that the children of farmers have better advantages. There are so many Improvements that might be made that it would not be easy to suggest the most important. But there will be no disagreement upon the importance of regular attendance. Before better schools can be demanded 1t will be necessary to get the full benefits of those we now have. Then We shall have the help of our neigh bors and friends in whatever is de- termined for the improvement of the schools.
 Although much fault has haen found with our rural schools, yet we must not forget the great men and the noble women whose only education was re- ceived in the public schools. Thous- ands of college bred men and women owe their interest and enthusiasm in education and success in life to the in- spiration of teachers of the public schools.-Farm and Ranch.

AN IMPRESSIVE INDICTMENT

The Indictment Of Governor Frazier and Senator
Gronna by the u. G. Z. Minot Council Of the United Com
mercial Travellers. was a singing rebuke of the attitude
of these two men. an attitude which has brought shame
ana humiliation to the state. It is followed by-aj similar
resolution of censure by the Grand Forks Division Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers.
In the Minot resolutions the attitude Of Governor
Frazier is analysed with skill and discrimination. OF
course Governor Frazier has not shouldered a gun and
gone to fight for the kaiser. Neither has he advised
others to do SO. He has not declared himself in rebellion
against the government Of the United States. He has
probably committed no act for which he could be called
to answer in a court Of Justice. But his whole attitude
has been one of hostility toward the war, of opposition
of plans adopted to equip the United States to ~play its
part in the war, or, where there has been formal tacaui-
escence 1t has been %srudging, reluctant and conditional.
This attitude is we'll understood BY all who have paid any
attention to the subject, and II Is set forth plainly in the
U. c. T. resolutions. What is true Of the governor liz also
true of Senator Gronna, and he ts properly coupled In the
same resolutions With the governor. #
OF course the adoption OF such resolutions by these
bodies, and by others If others choose to take the matter
wrong sentiments. The governor of North Dakota Will
not comply with the demand that he amend his ways, nor
Will the senator resign his seat. But the passage Of such
resolutions by such bodies will have the very Wholesome
effect of notifying the public both within and without
the state Of the eztsterce in North Dakota of a sentifnen.
the very opposite from that entertained by the governor,
the senator and some other officials, and which has done
the state inestinable damage in placing 1t before the ma
ton as a state of disloyatg. The u. c. T. and the q. L.
e. have done we'll. &c.

A FRUITLESS EFFORT

When Germany announced formally her ruthless
submarine policy as one to be continued in spite of all
the protests of neutral nations, ana in defiance alike of
the laws of God and Of man, her statesmen forecast the
starving out of Great Britain within SIX months, and
then, Of course, the end of the war. It was estimated
that the German submarines could sink a million tons
of Shipping a month, and at that rate it was estimated
that the tonnage available for the purposes of the allies
would have been SO diminished that food supplies ade-
quate for the populations at home and for the armies
in the field could no longer be transported.
The six months expired some time ago. The mark
get ny Germany has never been reached in any single
month. The total is far below the estimate. A great
many ships have been sunk. A great many tons of food
and other materials have been destroyed. Incidentally,
for human life is but an insignificant thing to the. Ger
man rulers. very many civilians, men, women and chill
or have died from exposure after taking to their boats
far out at sea. The allies have been Inconvenience
But that is about all. England is apparently no nearer
starvation than she was when Germany adopted murder
ass definite and settled policy and on a large scale.
In the meantime, the United States has been added
to the number Of GernhanS's enemies, and with her en-
trance into the war went all her merchant shipping. ex-
tstant and projected OF actual shipping then afloat
the tonnage was large. Arrangements have been made
for the immediate building under the authority Of our
government of shipping to aggregate ten miliop tons, and
all Of this under the appropriations Of this year. Soon
this Shipping will begin to be set afloat, and more and
more will follow. The United States is now building
more shipping than Germany would have destroyed this
year had she been able to live up to her estimate. She
has fallen more than SO per cent below it. within a few
months there will be more ships af1oat carrying supplies
TO England and France than there were when the last
submarine announcement was made. Germany, therefore.

the moment. SE4 ~ a.zarS- e

for them. However much currency that belief nnay1ave
outside of the war area, the soldiers who are actually
doing the fighting know that there IL nothing In II.
An analysis of the records Of battles Id which Brit
ish imperial troops were engaged shows that in every
battle but one the proportion OF Eng1ishy troops engaged
to English troops In the serviceJ was greater. for instance
than the similar percentage of Canadians. The one ex-
ception was one In which a German attack was launched
against 4 position which happened to be held almost ex-
elusivsiy by C~anadians, and In that the proportion Of
canadians gagged was necessarily greater. A similar

The fact is that the English have acquitted them
selves in d manner which has won hearty appreciation
Of the empire and Of their allies, who have fought side
by side with them. They have gone into the war calmly,
but resolutey land through its most trying experience
they have maintained much Of the stole reserve which
ts characteristic OF them. They have done their full
share Of the fighting, have suffered their full share Of
the losses. ana stand high among those who know what
real fighting is.

ENGLAND Al THE FRONT

Advices from the war front indicate that there has
been a marked change during the later stages Of the war
in the estimate placed by the soldiers Of other nations
on the character and achievements of the English. The
word English is used here in its strictly local sense
and is not intended to apply to the inhabitants OF the
british empire at large or even to parts Of the United
Kingdom other than England.
In the war dispatches mention has very frequently
been made of Irish regiments, Scotch regiments. and OF
regiments from Canada, Australasia, South Africa and
elsewhere In the empire, but Of the strictly English regi.
nepts comparatively little has been heard. This was &C:
cepted by not a few people earlier in the war as evidence
OF the truthfulness of the old charge that the English
were adopts at getting other people to fight their battles

SWEDES DEMAND AN EXPLANATION

The Argentine Republic naturally would like an ex-
PLANTATION from the Swedish government as to the mean
ing of its act in permitting the use of its diplomatic facil-
tiles by the Germans for the transmission Of correspond
erce Of a military nature, and Of a nature highly treach-
erous to a nation with which Sweden was on terms OF
anaity. The entente allies would like to know how II
permitted these acts which must have been known to be
to the advantage. of their enemy and Instantaneous to
themselves. The Swedish government is due for a lot Of
explaining before it sets itself right with the rest of the
world outside Of the central powers.
But the Swedish people themselves are demanding
explanations from their government, and it may be that
the demands from this quarter may prove more embar.
RAISING than any Of the others. Ina several Swedish cities
meetings have been held to protest against the action OF
the government. ard to demand that ample assurances
be given that the government Is purged Of the partisan.
ship which has so embarrassed the nation.
In spite Of the example set by Germany in her con-
temptuous disregard Of the usages Of civilized Intercourse
some of the forms Of courtesy are still observed among
nations. And, If the Swedish government expresses con-
triton for its %offense. even II the expression is couched
IN phraseo1ogy which almost begs the entire question, in
the absence Of any pressing need to the contrary the 9th.
er nations will accept the explanation and even a mild
apology, and the subject will be allowed to drop. But
when people In the mass demand explanations Of their
government something more than polite phrases and am.
icable~ assurances are likely to be needed. A government
may view with a measure Of Indifference such demands
from without, but when they come from within, and with
evidence of unanimity, then It is time for the government,
to look out. : l

HUNS STRIP French
MILLS OF MACHINES
Invaders Ship Equipment from
Northern France Into Germany.

The textile mills in Northern France
are being stripped of their meChani-
cal equipment by the Germans. or the
equipment is being rendcred unfit for
further use. This information has
reached the State Department from a
source which is considered reliable
by officials.
1t is reported that in Roubaix and
TurCOign, near Lille, looms are being
removed from the mills and sent to
Germany. Machines which cannot be
removed are smashed and in some in
stances dynamite has been used in
the work OF Industrial destruction.
There have been similar occurrences
at CoUFtrai.
Evidently the Germans mean to
strip the industries Of the country.
All mills in Flanders, it is stated,
have been ordc.cd to furnish lists of
the machinery. which indicates that
the work Of destruction now going on
in Northern france Will be carried
on throughout Flanders.
The military authorities also have
rrqa.sitiouCI the textile fabrics even
IN small retail shops. and the wooden
blankets have been taken from priv
ate houses. Wine also has been re-
QUESTIONED.
In the larger cities children from
ten to fifteen years Of age have ar
rived from Germany and have been
put to work in offices. The number
Of women used for this purpose is
increasing rapidly.
