Let us be careful, in saving the
world for democracy, that we do not
deliver our great sister republic,
China, into the hands OF autocracy,"
says the National Republican. TT is
evident" continues the Republican n,
that Japan has used the war as a
means of fastening her clutches up
on some OF the territory and much
OF the resources of China, with a
wealth and population so great that
il the republic Is made a vassal Of
Japan we may soon confront, per-
haps alone, danger in the Orient far
more immediate and harmful than
that of Germany before the central
powers were reduced to impotence.
IF this government, in the peace
negotiations, fails to take the stand
that Imperialism Is as Objectionable
and as menacing to the rest Of the
world in the Orient as in Europe,
we may yet pay a heavy penalty in
blood and treasure. This republic
has only good will for Japan so long
as Japan follows the American pol
icy of keeping hands off of the lib
erty and property Of other peoples,
but we have not, as people. fought
this war for the purpose Of putting
down an old Prussia in Europe only
to build up a new and more power
f,l and more dangerous one just
across the Pacific. The war is over
the central powers are defeated, and
there are no reasons why this sttua-
ton should not be discussed plainly:
in fact there is every reason why
the situation should be faced and the
truth spoken"

N. D. FIGHTERS
PRAISED BY HUN
Germans Have Solid Re-
spect for First Division
-Guardsmen In It

Grand Forks, N. D.. Dec. 5.--Ger-
man officers had high opinions of the
American soldiers, according to
Capt. L. l.. Eckman, commander of
the machine gun company Of the
First North Dakota infantry.
The German officer has particular
ly high praise for the first division
the division into which the North
Dakota National guardsmen were
merged on their arrival in France,
and which has seen some of the wars
hardest and done some OF Americas
most brilliant lighting.
Quoting the German colonel who
was captured, Captain Eckman says;
Yesterday / received orders TO hold
the ground at all costs" said the
captured German colonel. "The
American barrage advanced toward
my position and the work Of your
artillery was marvellous. The barrage
was so dense that it was impossible
for us to move out of our dugouts.
Following this barrage came the
troops of the First division. ! knew
that the First division was opposite
us, and l knew that we would have
to put up the hardest fight OF the
war. The First division Is wonder
full. We did not believe that within
five years the Americans could de-
velop n division such as the First.
The work OF the infantry and artil-
Iery is worthy of the best armies in
the world
General Adds Praise
Major General summeraIl, in pub
l{f,l.t h
OF the command, adds a remark to
the effect that "the work done by the
First division during the past few
days will go down in history as one
Of those memorable events which will
live in the hearts of the American
people for generations to come"
Captain Bckman, himself an officer
in the First division, also encloses
copy of another Of Major General
Summeralls orders issued on July 25,
in which the division is praised for
Is magnificent courage and unfal-
tering fortitude" during the opera
tions of July, IS to July 25-that is,
just at the beginning of the final AL
lied drive planned and carried out
by Field Marshal Foch with the re-
suit that Germany was forced to beg
for armistice terms.
You have sustained the conflict
longer and advanced your line fur
ther than any other division engaged
with you in the battle" the order
says.
A general order issued by General
Pershing, communicative chief of the
expeditionary forces, refers to opera
tions during July and specifically to
the work OF the First and Second di-
visions.
These divisions" General Perish
ing says. submitted fully for the
first time to all the drastic tests of
modern warfare bore themselves al
ways with fine valor, their co-opera-
tion with their brothcrs-at-arm Of

and efficient and brought forth from

French Cross

With the French Army in Ger
many, Tuesday, Dec. i3s-The Tenth
French army on it's, way to the
Rhine and Mayence, has crossed the
German frontier of 1870, occupying
the valley of the Sarre. The ad-
vance into German territory has
been without incident and appears
likely to be carried out In perfect or
der and quiet.
The population of the districts
thus far reached appears to be more
astonished than downcast, and those
that come into direct contact with
the French officers and men show
more poIiteness than displeasure.
The imperial functionaries still in
charge receive the French military
authorities with GOODNESS but without

A COMFORTING ASSURANCE.

There certainly must be very
comfortable feeling on the farms OF
North Dakota over the fact that
Notwithstanding the announcements
that England and France have made
arrangements to buy grain in Ar
gentine and Australia-where it is
sold at half the price paid here
Old Uncle Samuel will maintain the
basic price at Chicago of $2.26 per
bushel. AS a result of his deter
mination there Is a likelihood that
Uncle will have to dig down in his
striped jeans to make good the diff
ference in price between the fixed
rate here and what foreign grain can
be bought for, but what's the use
of having an uncle If enel can't use
him in a pinch? ,.
However, it is a fortunate thing
for the people who have to eat
and pay taxes-that the urgent re-
quests of friends Townley and Ha.-
gan for SO wheat price fell upon
deaf ears, even though we all profit
when the farmer profits.

 That evening was long and peace full one in the Bowser residence. MT. Bowser did considerable talking, and 1t was all pleasant talk. There was a notice, which had come by mail, that he had not paid his taxes yet, and that per cent had been levied against him. Ninety-nine times out of hun dred he would have walked about fiourishing that piece of paper, and de- flying all the tax departments in the world, and threatening to have blood for the insult. But, on this occasion, he read the notice and laughed over 1t and said to Mrs. Bowser:
 "Well, declare I am surely get ting to be a careless old man. Of course, I must pay for my negligence, as all others must"
 During the evening man called and wanted to sell MT. Bowser horse, and another man called to see if he didn't want to invest in some cocOnut lands in Mexico, but he turned them away with few pleasant words, and his right shoe didn't itch to do any kicking.
 Friday morning dawned as peaceful as any one could wish. He talked ard smiled, and he was so pleased with the general way in which the cook dropped platter, and broke it in four places that he whispered to Mrs. Bow ser that she ought to have her wages raised at least a dollar week.
