FOR REVENGE OR vICTORY9

Bloodthirsty though it may be, there is a
certain grim pleasure in reading reports of
the Allied air raids on the Rhine cities.
Germany's record in bombing unforti-
fled cities, and killing women children and
other non-combatants has been such a
black record in this war, that it is hard to
stifle feeling of exultation in the repris-
ais against defenseless German cities.
In view Of this sentiment for reprisals
which is very widespread in England, and
in view of the fact that the air raids I'M
doubtedIy have demoralized industry in
the Rhine valley and created something
akin to a panic there, it is interesting to
hear the other side Of the question from
military standpoint.
Major General Sir Frederick Maurice
was quoted in a recent dispatch to The
New York Times, as follows
Il am very far from undertaking the i'm
portance Of carrying the war into Germany
by every possible means, and l fully appre-
ciate the great moral effect which the bomb
ing Of German towns will produce when the
people Of Germany see that decisive mill
tary success is not within their power. But
bombing raids, however numerous and eff
fective will not convert defeat on the bat
placed enthusiasm to divert our aerial forces
from the battlefield in order to carry out
distant enterprises into Germany, we shall
certainly suffer
"At present the prime duty Of the air
forces in France Is to cooperate with their
comrades on the ground in defeating the
enemy. They have to act as the eyes Of our
generals and to blind the enemy. Without
them much of our long-range artillery would
be useless, and, while directing our own
fire they have to prevent the enemy from
directing his. They have to harass and dis
turb the enemys concentrations behind his
lines and to interfere with his movements
by damaging his communications. Lastly,
they have to cooperate directly in the de-
struction Of the enemy's forces in battle by
flying low and shooting into the enemys
columns"
That is the reason why the air raids into
Germany are not much more numerous.
Until the Allies are able to establish and
maintain their unquestioned superiority in
the air and still have available large fleets
of aircraft for such expeditions, the raids
will be a side issue. That time will come
when the American airplane output
reaches the quantity stage Of production
that now marks the shipyards-perhaps
some time this coming fall.

What's that? Three thousand miles away?
God man! Say softly, that pray,
For fear our friend who lives just down
The street-yes, right here in our town
May hear, this thoughtless thing you sayi
The wars three thousand miles away.
I'd answer not for his reply
II he should hear. He'd pass the lie
To you so quick, hot blood you'd sweat
At words you speak but to regret.
For just moment, come with me
A few steps only, you shall see
Right at your door this thing you say
Is full three thousand miles away.

On American Tolerance
BY Clinton Scotland of the VigiIantes

Too long have we been lax and lenient;
We have been patient, though we knew that
Harbored the venomous viper, Treachery,
Ready to strike with foul and fell intent
But now the day Of tolerance Is spent;
Let us have done with sleek hypocrisy
With those who strive to work insldiously!-
Be there at last some stern arbitrament!
Kultur's apostles, you who are arrayed
With the blasphemous Beast who drew the
sword
And slew the innocent the while he prayed
Should on your heads there fall some just re.
ward,
Yours is the blame who fatuously have made
Your tongue abhorrent and your race abhorred!

A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep
ing UP With North Dakota Editors

Tne valley City Times RECORD calls atCeuLloI
to North Dakotas pressing coal problem, al
follows:
The coal question is going to be one that
will touch the pocketbook of the poor as well
as the rich this coming winter. The price
of hard coal in Valley City is quoted today
at SIS per ton, and mind you this price is
not fixed by the dealers here but by the gov
eminent. With so much noise about profit
eering echoing through the wings Of the
senate and house of representatives chamber
in Washington 1T would seem to us that the
government should investigate this coal ques-
ton and cut down the price. The poor people
Of the northwest are going to have hard
time Of it this winter.

trials of an editors life as follows:

What newspaper has not had this very
same experience with this very same yellow

about what ought to be printed in a news
paper and what ought to be omitted? And

The New Rockford Transcript answers the
query as to what a War Savings stamp is, as
follows:
The War Savings stamp is a IS govern
ment bond due January l. 1928. The inter
est instead of being represented by coupons,
is paid in advance, by discounting or de-
Quoting the interest from the purchase price.
In June, 1918, the cost of this stamp is $41T,
in July, 1918, $418, and advances 1c each
month until December, 1913 which makes
the interest about 4 ia per cent, and after
December 81, 1918, the stamps cannot be
bought.
THE stamps are on sale at every postof-
flee and many banks, retail stores, and
other places The stamps may be registered
at the postoffice so that If they be lost or
destroyed the amount of money will not be
lost In case the holder Of the stamps hap
pens to need the money unexpectedly they
will be cashed at the postoffice at any time

Propaganda Probe by Senate Bares
Pre-War kilograms Sent by the
Publisher.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Government
copies Of kilograms signed by William
Randolph Hearst, giving instructions
regarding the policy Of his newspapers
and their correspondents during the
war. were read into the record at the
hearing of the senate committee inves-
tigating German propaganda.
In a message to the New York
American, February "a, 1917, Mr..
Hearst outlined instructions to be
cabled to William Bayard Hale,
then "A Hearst correspondent In Ber-
Gently produced, was on the German
pay roll without Hearst's. knowledge.
Mr.. Hearst said:
II firmly believe that the vast ma
jority of the people of the United
States are entirely industrious of var
with Germany. l believe also that the
people of Germany are equally unde-
sirous of war with the United States.
Under such circumstances | can.
not see why the century-old friendship
Of the United States and Germany
cannot be maintained and perpetuated
by the high-minded and humanitarian
rulers and political leaders of our re-
spective countries"
A message dated March 2, signed
Doctor and addressed to s. s.. Car
valho, New York American, declared
that the famous Zimmerman note, In
which Germany proposed an alliance
with Mexico and Japan, probably was
a forgery prepared by the attorney
general.
The object Of the forgery" the
message said, was ito brighten con-
gress into giving the president the
powers he demanded, and perhaps,
also, into passing the espionage bill"
The authenticity of the Zimmerman
note was admitted by the German
government later.
