REAPING THE WHIRLWIND.

For nearly week, all communica-
ton with Petrograd was cut off, for
some unknown reason.
Yesterday it was restored, and the
dispatches from the Russian capital
showed with what beWiIdering rapid
ity the situation there is developing.
The capture Of Kiev by the Bolshe-
Wiki, shows that they must be gain
ing the upper hand in the Ukraine.
Kiev is a city of 100000 inhabitants,
and the metropolis of this whole ter
ritory. Until very recently it was
the capital Of the Ukraine, but the
rada was moved.
The situation is becoming so com
plicated that it might be we'll to re-
view it at this point, and summarize
the positions Of the various COM
batants.
The Bolsheviki control in the
north and in the south, along the
Black sea, having headquarters at
both Petrograd and Odessa, the two
extremes. They are trying to force
their government upon various rev.
dictionary districts which are trying
to break away from Russia. These
include the Ukraine, Poland, and the
Cossack region. They also have q
quarrel with Rumania, for refusing
to let Bolshevid troops pass through
that country, but they refuse to eth
er fight or make peace with Ger
many, while continuing to carry on
their propaganda.
The Ukrainians have made peace
with Germany, but unless they can
establish their authority over the
the peace is only a scrap
of paper. Germany is even now
to send assistance to the
Ukraine to enforce the peace terms,
but this aid was not in time to save
Riey.
Poland has risen against both Ger
many and the Bolsheviki. Her army
has won a victory over the Bolshevilz
forces, and the newly formed state
Of Poland is in state vergIng on
open warfare against Germany and
Austria.
The Cossacks and General Alexieff
have been heard from again, and
the power Of the Bolshe-
Wiki is being threatened at home in
Petrograd.
To add to Germany's troubles,
Austria is very loath to resume any

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
lis very harmful. Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
er rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified oocoanut OH
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few ounces is. enough to
last everyone in the family for
months

at the door of league speakers
over this state and Minnesota,
we must have q very mucn
blunted sense of what is loyal
and what is not; and we must
also be possessed of a very in
ferior intelligence. We heard
these speakers through, and we
failed to find a single disloyal or
seditious remark.
The Leader is not a NOnparti-
san paper, nor do we agree with
every proposition advocated by
the league. We know that not
every member of any legislature
is q crook, nor do we subscribe
to the remark that newspapers
as a class are dishonest. We
are inclined to think Nthat the
speaker in question does not be-
lieve these things, either-that
his remark was made more gen
eral than he intended.
We have no definite know
ledge, but we are told on reliable
information that the constitution
OF North Dakota was not framed
by the Northern Pacific or any
other one interest. We do not
believe, either, that advertising
is unnecessary, for the splendid
attendance at this meeting can
be traced directly to the adver-
Using given it. We do not agree
that big business" is not pay
ing it's share of the war burden,
for we think the big corporations
are doing great things for the
good Of the country. Many of
them are making big sacrifices,
just as are the smaller concerns
and the individual American.
This is Americas war, and we
believe it will prove a great
breaker down Of social lines,
leveling classes and bringing
about a closer spirit Of brother
hood and cooperation for the
common veal
But we do believe that there
are weak points in the state gov
eminent. We. believe that the
league movement will improve
many conditions. We believe the
farmers have a perfect right to
organize for better markets if
they desire. In an agricultural
state, as North Dakota is, near
ly every man is more or less Of
a farmer; and those few who are
not are directly BENEFITED by the
things which benefit the farmer.
If this organization benefits
everybody, it should live. If it
does not it will fall Of its own
weight.

hostilities on the eastern front. and
the split between the Central Powers
threatens to become a real factor.
Germany is sitting on a powder
factory on the eastern front. The
report Of a mutiny Of German troops
there may be exaggerated, and it
may be but an incident, but it is
significant. A spark may touch off
the explosion that will shake Ger
many to her foundations.
The possibilities of the situation
seem almost unlimited. 1t may prove
the wedge that will separate Aus
tria from Germany. 1t may bring a
revolt in all the German forces on
the east, necessitating stripping the
western front of it's reserves to put
down a mutiny. It may mean a real
" Independent Poland.
Unquestionably the situation is
rapidly getting out of Germanys
hands. She deliberately sowed the
seeds Of turmoil. and the chaos she
invoked may yet engulf her.

TO THE LUMBERMEN.

To the lumbermen Of North Dakota
who are gathered in Fargo today
Fhe Forum would, first Of all, like to
extend a warm greeting, and then
humbly offer a suggestion.
The war has not brought great
prosperity to the retail lumbcrman.
There is a disposition, whether
rightly or wrongly, to postpone all
building that Is not necessary until
after the war.
Why not, then, accept this situa-
ton, and go out through the state to
preach the gospel of repair what
you have? If you need a new build
ing, build it, but whatever you DO,
keep what you have in repair.
This is an era Of conservation.
Farm machinery was never so val
nable and never so expensive. Does
1t pay to let it rust in the fields with
out proper sheds to cover 1t?
Does 1t pay to have inadequate
storehouses for the crops that were
never so valuable?
Does it pay to let a building fall
into disrepair?
An intensive, energetic campaign
of Build If you need to, but what
ever you do, keep your buildings in
repair during 1919. is not only a
good business policy. but 1t is a
mighty good brand of practical
patriotism.
Business may not be las usual
with the lumbermen, but it ought to
be as good as usual. although along
somewhat different lines. A farmer
might afford to be careless with
wheat worth 80 cents a bushel, but
not with So wheat; or with farm
machinery worth S25. but not with
the same machinery worth $50 or
SIS.
No catalogue house can go to
farm and figure the cost of buildings
needed. If the lumbermen are as
good business men as we think they
are, they are probably doing this all
ready. They have chance to COM
Bine a conservation campaign with
this service program.
But whether the suggestion is
worth anything or not, we are glad to
have the lumbermen with us, and we
hope that not a single catalogue or
der goes out of North Dakota this |
year.

THE sHIPYARD STRIKE.

President Wilson handled the
strike Of the shipyard carpenters
with calmness, irmness and consid-
cradle acumen.
He took the stand that every
patriotic American should take, and
mat the majority Of American work
ing men, to their credit, are taking.
That stand is that the strike should
be the last resort, not the first, in
wartime.
The government has shown Not
only willingness but eagerness to
meet labor half way in every dispute
On the wage question. The unions
have received prompt consideration
BE their claims, and almost without
exception these claims have been
granted.
without waiting for their case to
ao through the proper channels, the
Ship carpenters in the Atlantic coast
Yards struck The head OF the union.

translation of the German matter
which appears in the columns of its

Whether or not The Forums threat

What is important, Is the insult TO

When American transports are being
sunk, and American men shot in
France, Herr Townley's "brotherly
greetings" conveyed in the language
Of the Kaiser don't set very well on
the stomach.
There Is no legal means Of reach

a translation Of his 'brotherly greet
ings' but If a few score of the sub
scribers of the Nord Dakota Uber-

open an American Red Cross COM
fort station at Chioggia, where the
Venetian refugees were boarding the
trains: and, more especially through
three gifts of ten thousand lire each,
to assist in transplanting the or
ganized work of institutions which
in the many months of war had pro-
vided employment for the unem-
ployed and had turned what would
have been a dead weight of charity
into a self sustaining, producing
force. The first of these colonies
consisted Of the working girls of the
Laboratorio per Disoccupati, and
was headed by ignora Marie Pezze
Pascolato. The others had been

Alpine brigade of his grandfather,
had brought their guns down from
the heights of the Dolomites to the
elbow of the Piave. (Mr. Carol is
himself an honorary member of the
brigade). And he told of the work
for refugees; he was back only that
afternoon from Chioggia, inspecting
the Red Cross canteen. There an old
palace had been turned over by the
authorities, who had furnished two
military cooks, a ton of coal, a tele-
phone and other conveniences. With
Red Cross funds he had gotten to-
Sether supplies and manned the
canteen with his two consulate as

But the market was easier in Venice,
because so many people had gone:

AN EXAMPLE TO THE "GRoWN-
UPS".

Good for those Moorhead young
sters who were determined they
wouldn't let little matter like the
lack Of $40 stand between them and
the organizing of a Red Cross auxiI-
iary.
They didn't have the $40, but they
found q way to get it and 81 more.
They made their own tags and had a
tag day.
If every "grownup' in Fargo and
Moorhead had the spirit of these
children, both cities would hit the
100 per cent mark in every war en-
terprise undertaken.
And why shouldn't we hit the 100
per cent mark? What a record it
would be if these cities could claim
every man. woman and child in the
Red Cross, and doing his or her share
Ia every war enterprise!

The Minneapolis Tribune

The Minneapolis Tribune: As a
Republican pacifier, organizer and
harmonizer Will Fl. Hays has been a
shining success in Indiana. In the
unsightly debris of a party wrecked
in the violent upheavals of 1912, he
initiated a systematic and wonder
fully effective salvage campaign, and
by 1916, he had reared a new struc-
ture so strong that q well entrench-
ed Democratic foe could not prevail
against it.
Early in the presidential campaign
in his state, as chairman Of the state
committee, Mr.. Hays became perhaps
the most conspicuous figure among
the AZ chairmen of state committees.
This was due partly to the organiza-
ton system he put into effect. but
more to his method OF applying balm
TO heal fractional sores. He brought
the radical progressives, near pro-
gressives, regulars and stand-patters
Of his party together for such fine
team work that when the ballots were
counted in November it was found
that a Republican governor, two
United States senator's, and eight
representatives in Congress had
shouldered as many Democratic can
didates or incumbents out Of the way.
Mr.. Hays is now chairman OF the
Republican national committee. IL
he shall do as well. in the larger as
in the smaller field of effort, proper
tionately, his fame as a party leader
will be secure. He is young, enthus-
iastic, conciliatory, a good mixer, and
highly practical in method. Add to
this an insight into human nature. a
disposition to fight fairly and an in
fictitious zeal for his work, and we
have the formula for successful
leadership.
1t is well worth noting that he won
over his most formidable rival for the
Craftsmanship because his anti-Prus-
sian record is clean while that Of the
other man is clOuded by a letter he
wrote from Berlin on August 81,
1914, warmly defending the German
position at that time and savagely at
lacking Germany's foes as greedsters
and hypocrites.
