WITH THE EDITORS.
ENEMY WITHIN OUR GATES

And still we 90 On with our characteristic ma
tiona] laissez.faire, continuing to warm the serpents
in our bosoms and extending the bitten hand to the
fangs that have repeatedly lacerated it.
When will the people of the United States awake
to the reality that Americanism is at stake-that
the scum in the Melting Pot is poisoning the IN
tegrity Of the country s well-being and safety? When
will they appreciate the fact that this IS precisely
the circumstances upon which the great enemy has
relied to ~paralyzc the efforts Of our government IN
it's precautions of a just war?
The supreme test of Americanism is being made.
Are we to come out of it a united nation or a jumbled
of %polyglot, the plaything and sport of the foreign
element we have admitted to all privileges of our
country, but which we have not been at the pains
to assimilatc?
1t behooves the true blue loyal now, to be doubly
loyal. The time has long since passed for any pan
dcring with those who do not put the war aims OF the
government before all minor considerations. That
man or woman who is not hcart-whole for us is
against us. Put to them the point blank question
whether they wish to see America and her allies
win the war or see Germany win it, and if they evade
the answer, know them for enemies. Knowing
them as such, they should be treated as such.
Already death is taking it's grim toll Of our SOL
diers and sailors abroad. 1t is but the beginning
Steadily, silently, the stream of young lives IS eros
sing cover there Are we who remain behind to
give them a luke warm loyalty, to see them stabbed
in the back by those whose hearts are false and
whose souls are souls of towards? For be it remem-
bered that the man who fights for Germany with
his tongue now is the man who could have fought
for her with his body had he the stuff in him to fight
with his body to fight for anything. OF such refuse
are traitors ~made.-Robcrt Adgcr Bowen of the Wig

which last year produced only 100000
this year will have produced
more than $50, 900. The reserve sup
ply of fuel now on hand in North Da'
kota is the largest and}the NEST eQu-
ably distributed in ,thes history OF the
state. But 10 one can foretell at what
time North Dakota will be called upon
to share this reserve with Minnesota
and Wisconsin, South Dakota and 9TH
er states which are not SO fortunately
situated. Already the Twin Cities are
beginning to look upon North Dakota
as a probable source of future supply
for their industries and their domes-
tic needs. Great as is the present
production of our Ignite mines, which
are periodically straining every en-
orgy to no only turn out coal suttl-
Gent for the needs of the state but
to accumulate a good surplus, the pre-
sent facilities OF North Dakota's lg-
mite producers would be taxed to the
limit to meet the demands which
would come should the supply Of east
ern coal be shut of from Our sister
states entirely.
May Supply Other States.
1t is altogether probable that when
coal districts are again zoned by the
United States fuel administration that
portions at least of Minnesota and
South Dakota will be assigned the
North Dakota territory as a means of
relieving the drain on eastern and
middle western coal fields, and the
"shovel-a-day" of coal which may be
saved through Tag Your Shovel

WHAT ON MONDAY?

We know what we can do on meatless Tuesday.
We can eat fish, etc. We know what we can 90 on
wheatless Wednesday. We can cat corn, etc.
But, what can we do on coalless-worklcs Monday?
Let us consider it seriously. 49, EtE
We can do war work, for one thing. More sweat
ers, helmets and stockings can be knit, and more per-
sonal interest can be taken in Red Cross work. A
good many of us can, as never before, concern our
selves in how the poor are getting along. This last
is war work. The nation S ability to endure depends
upon the average of such ability amongst all the peo-
pie. If we help some poor family to a sack or a ton
of coal, we contribute to the average of national en-
durance, and, in the final analysis, this war is pretty
much a matter of endurance.
Some of us will miss our usual a~musements. We
can slide down hill or go skating with our Riddles and
we IL find. or furnish, more amusement in either OF
these healthful sports than in IS theatres.
We can read and visit neglected friends, and
write letters long overdue. We can, in a business
way, make plans for meeting more-lcss days than
those we've already got, for, more such days are
likely to come. The administration may be forced to
prescribe schoollcss days, railroad-travelless days,
gasoline-less days, and such, and, if we are, mentally
Systematically, prepared to meet them, they won't
hurt so much.
Verify, the fellow who works hard six days and
cannot do much on Sunday can make himself very
busy on coalless Monday, if he tries. AS doing his
bit in the war, he ought to try.

SOME MORE SPLITS,

There is likely much truth in the recent cable
grams reporting strong indications of a general
upheaval in Russia and a split between Trotzky and
Lenine. '.
The masses of the Bolshcviki haven't got the
promised peace, bread and land, and Trotzky has
been handling matters regardless of Premier Lenine,
after a manner ungentlemanA in a mere foreign min
lister. 1t is natural for BoLsheviki to want bread and
land. It is natural for Trotzky and Lenine to be
jealous Of each other. Of course the condition
pleases Germany. All that Germany needs Of Rus
STA is that the latter keep right on being unorganized,
unlimited for anything.

tration. The opposition which they
succeeded in creating was short-ilved,
and with very rare exceptions it has
been strictly obeyed. Some necessary
notifications have been made, and the
east is fast adjusting itself to the new
situation.
The order for the limitation OF cleo
trio signs and all outdoor lighting,
made effective for two nights in the
week, if strictly served throughout
he United States should save be
tween $15O,000 and 100000 tons OF coal

Wood-cutting campaigns have: been
organized in wooded states as a means
Of reducing the consumption of coal.
WINE Nor,h Dakota is 'classed as a
treeless state, it has some fine for
ests in it's river bottoms, where hun
>dreds of cords or firewood are waster
annually through failure to conserve
trees which are broken down by
wind or lightning, or which succumb
to age. Capt. Baker suggests that ter
ritory adjacent to the Missouri river,
especially could say much coal by
utilizing this firewood during the
milder months. :.

ing. 1t has been difficult, however, for
North Dakota, with its coal bins and
fuel yards filled, to appreciate the sit
uation in less favored portions OF the
country, or to appreciate the necessity
for fuel saving here at home as we'll
as east of the Mississippi.
That such necessity does exist every
where Director II. A. Garfield's or
der, and it's ready, if sometimes un-
willing, acceptance of eastern indus
tries, the heatless Mondays and other
radical innovations enforced by Or.

tor for North Dakota, declares, to

flict in which it has engaged.

gested with freight; with ships bunk

non essential industries, which had
no immediate market for their pro
ducts and which could not have ship

sisted upon demanding their normal
fuel supply and upon operating at full
capacity. Either they did not under
stand the seriousness of the situation.
or, understanding, they persisted in
their course for unpatriotic reasons
which may be investigated at a later
date, states the federal fuel admins

U COMING OUT.

The admission Of L. L. Stair OF Bottlneau that
the failure Of the first liberty loan was.due to oppo-
sition from such Nonpartisan league leaders as MN
self-a confession tacitly made on the floor or the
house Of representatives Saturday evenings m
t%eresting. 1t is to be regretted that a Vcrpat1m
COPY of the big lcaguer's remarks cannot be 1ur-
nished the department Of justice.
There had always existed a general impression
that following President Townlcy's campaign
against the first liberty loan other measures were
resorted to to discourage the sale OF these bonas
in North Iakota. Until Rep. Stair revealed the
facts, however, there was little tangible to hang
this suspicion on.
North Dakota is under obligation to MI. STAR
for his candor. lie says that the first liberty loan
campaign was a fizzlc because some OF the men
interested in it could not refrain from criticism OF
Governor Frazier and President Town|ey and others
who had shown a disposition to discourage coopera'
ton in this state with the plan adopted by Uncle
Sam for financing our allies.
Perhaps, if this session lasts long enough, and
the men who are really responsible for the things
the league has done are sufficiently provoked, the
whole truth will come out. We are indebted to Mr.
Peterson of Tcwner for his Red Cross War Y. M
G. A. resolution. 1t has separated the league goats
from the sheep, and has shown North Dakota just
where % league leaders stand.

NEED BIC HERDS.
europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve1
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their 1aocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward. " ,
The United States food adminls-
tration reports that American stock
ralsers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government In In.
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then %retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately - 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines. r. @ err
But In England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands. have been turn
ed into grain felds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently Is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, $16O8; jan
larry, $14.4O. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
kGt as soon as possible.
in France the number Of cattle az
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the wal.
Where France had 14,807, 900 head Of
cattle in 1918, she now has only 12,-
341, 300, a decrease Of 1870 per cent.
And France Is today producing only
ore gallon Of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food AID.
ministratiOn that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc.
ton Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

MORE MISREPRESENTATION

J. B. Platter, who enroutc Saturday from Fortuna
to his home near Tollcy, N. D., with a carload OF
horses, four Of which were his and the others owned
by his ncighbors, was a caller at the Times office
on Saturday last between trains. MIR. Platter, as
well as many other farmers in the vicinity Of Tollcy,
were induced by A.. |. Darling Of Fortuna and {. E.
Gordon, a famous Nonpartisan league organizer, to
turn over their horses to the former to winter, rep
resenting that he (Dar]ing) had ample shed room,
hay, water, and an abundance of grass range. A
few days before Christmas one Of the farmers, who
had placed his horses with Darling for the winter,
went to Fortuna and found his horses in a starving
condition and without feed, shelter or care. One
bunch Of % horses which had strayed away were
all found dead. One party is unable to locate tive
head, and many other parties have lost one or more
head. Mr.. Platter was fortunate in locating all OF
his horses.-Flaxton Times.

THE BEAST UNMASKS.

History never bclcld a blacker h%ypOcrltc than
Germany, talking to distracted Russia about mo
annexations. no indemnities and the selfdetermina-
ton Of %peoples.'
Now that the attempt to rob Russia by diplomatic
hocus-pocus apparently has failed, the German bur
glar stands forth in the open.
What Germany proposes is to steal from Russia,
because it has the power to take and Russia lacks
the power to resist, a vast area of territory pcoplcd
by millions, and hundreds of miles of Russia s small
coastline.
Germany wants the Baltic provinces and Lithua-
MIA. 1t already has Poland. The Baltic provinces,
Lithuania and Poland include about 100000 square
milcs-about the size of Minnesota, North Dakota,
Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland combined
and are the homes of 4O,0OO,C0O people.
From this America and the world may learn, ii
they do not already know, what mercy to expect Of
a victorious Germany.
From this America and the world may learn what
their fate will be if they do not resolve, cost what
it may, to smash forever this brigand among nations.
What Germany is to do to Russia is what Germany
did to Austria when it took Silesia. 1t is what Ger
many did to Tenmark when it took Sc~hleswig-1lol-
stein. 1t is what Germany did to France when it
took Alsace-Lorraine 1t is what Germany, Aus
tria and the czar-dominated Russia did when they
dismembered Poland and divided her territory
among themselves. 1t is what Germany did to Bel
gium, Luxembourg and northern France in its first
great drive in 1914.
II the community Of Duluth had running wild in
it's midst a desperate who did such deeds as these,
it would seek no peace nor rest nor surcease Of sac
rifce until it had run him to earth and hung him
by the neck until he was dead.
America and the civilized world, in self-protec-
ton and for the sake Of their children, can do NO
less with the brigand Germany-Duluth Herald.
