THE SEAS ARE FREE.

As the ocean liners continue to ar
rive in our Atlantic ports after
first unconvoyed trips since the
war, even the quiet civilians whose
war work was done far from U-boat
dangers. experience thrills.
News that the Orduna, several
times attacked by submarine and
definitely marked for destruction by
them, had arrived in New York with
lights ablaze after her first straight
course in three years adds tangible
proof to the almost unbelievable

The Orduna had numerous adveu-

a submarine caught in steel net in

with a picked crew and sent out cs-

Peoples Commissary for Foreign Affairs,
Petrograd, November 16, 1917.
To the Chairman of the Council of Peoples Com
In accordance with the resolution passed by
rades Lenin, Trotzky, Podvoisky, Dybenko, and
Volodarsky, the following has been executed by
l. In the archives of the ministry of Justice
from the dossier re treason" of Comrades Lenin,
zinoven Koslovsky, Kolonstai and others, has
been removed the order Of the German Imperial
Bank, No. 1888, OF the second Of March, 1917, for
allowing money to Comrades Lenin, Zinovieff,
Kameneff, Trotzky, Sumenson, Koslovsky and
others for the propaganda Of peace in Russia.
2. There have been audited all the books of
the Mia Bank at Stockholm containing the
counts of Comrades Lenin, Trotzky, zinovieff,
and Others which were opened by the order OF
the German Imperial Bank No 1854. These
books have been delivered to Comrade Muller,
who was sent from Berlin
Authorized by the commissar for foreign af

Note-The Russian Council of Peoples Com
missars was dominated by the president, Vladt-
mir Ulianov (Lenin); the then foreign minister
Leon Trotzky, now war minister; and the am
bassador to Germany, A. Joffre. The marginal
indorseneht in writing is "To the secret depart
ment, B. u" This is the fashion in which Lenin
is accustomed to initial himself The. English
equivalent would be p u for Vladimir Ulianov.

would be the proof OF its contents and here is

In it he addressed his correspondent as Fellow

METZ AND LAON.

Those enthusiastic admirers Of General
Pershing's army who expected the Ameri-
cans to continue their advance from the St..
Mihiel salient and envelop Metz in the
course of two or three days. are doomed to
disappointment.
In Metz and Laon the Americans and
French now have two Of the most formid-
able positions in Europe to capture.
Iaon S great strength is due largely to
natural Notifications which have been de-
veloped through four years of German oc-
cupation.
But the Germans have been fortifying
Metz for 40 years. It's Notifications are
said to extend for 10 to Is miles from the
city, and in range and power the guns in
these Notifications probably are equal to
the best Allied artillery. That means the
fortification must be reduced before Metz
itself can be bombarded, or else the city
must be encircled. That means long ad-
vance through very difficult ground
Both Metz and Laon are hard nuts to
crack and those who count upon their i'm
mediate capture will be disappointed.
If either is taken within three weeks it
will be a remarkable feat.

ANOTHER "FFLLOW WORKER ;,

Does it mean anything to North Dakota
that some twelve or fifteen German brew
ers provided $4,000 with which Arthur
Brisbane purchased The Washington Times
to fight prohibition?
Mr.. Brisbane, according to an Associated
Press dispatch yesterday, admitted this
fact which was first disclosed by A.
Mitchell Palmer, the federal custodian of
enemy alien property. The latter discov-
cred it in his investigation Of property
owned by Germans in America.
Congressman j. NJ. Baer, nominally of
Fargo, is a regular contributor to The
Washington Times. His cartoons appear
frequently on its editorial page, and arc
always made the subject of a laudatory edi-
torial, presumably by Fellow Worker"
Brisbane.
The Times has repeatedly indorsed
Townleyism in its editorial columns, and
appeared to be frankly courting the
leagues leaders.
In Minnesota, recently Mr. Townley's
candidate for governor gave pledge that
he would veto prohibition if it were enacted
by the legislature following failure of the
constitutional amendment to get half of all
the votes cast at the election. This would
seem a just and a harmless pledge, if it
were not known that most amendments
that fail in Minnesota get a majority of
the votes cast for or against them, but lack
a majority Of all the votes cast at the cleo
tion. 1t is difficult to get voters to regis
ter their opinions on constitutional amend
cfe iCrb,4 IL
iority Of the Legislature and have a ma
jority Of the votes cast on the issue, yet fail
to win approval Of the amendment The
Importance Of the pledge to the liquor in
terests can easily be seen.
The Fargo Courier News, Mr. Townley's
personal organ, buys it's Sunday feature
pages from The Washington Times, and in
a recent issue was full page article about
Mrs. Adolphus Busch, the widow of the St.
Louis brewer, whose property has been
confiscated. It told how her property in
Germany had also been seized and subtly
invoked sympathy for her as a woman
without a country.
The Forum does not mean to intimate
that Mr.. Townley received any of the
$375000, and there is no evidence or sug-
gestion Of this. But there is very clear
evidence that the brewers organ in Wash
ington and the league leaders were work
ing in very close harmony.

certainly do pick a queer assortment of
"fellow workers" for simon-pure Ameri
