THE GERMAN ESCAPE.

There is no cause for being disheartened
at the escape of the army of the Crown
Prince from the Marine salient.
There was one day last week when it
looked as if a very large part of the army
was to be cut off and either captured or
annihilated. But the Germans succeeded
in making the pocket shallower quicker
than the Allies could narrow it. They
slipped out before the pocket could be
closed.
While every credit must be given the
Germans for their mastery retreat and
gallant fighting, it must not be. supposed
that they escaped without severe punish
ment There is good reason to believe that
General Foch, by taking desperate chance
and throwing in all available reserves,
might have cut them off. But it would
have been at terrific cost, for the sides of
the salient were very strongly held by the
Germans. The Allied commander pre-
ferred to maintain the pressure and let the
artillery do the work. For days the entire
German position has been under a hurri-
cane Of fire, and it is not at all unlikely
that the net German losses in excess of the
Allied losses are greater than they would
have been if General Foch had driven ahead
at all costs.

vIERECK CASE JUST BEGUN.

Those who have fought bitter, IN
compromising fight against the German
press in the United States are indicated
/ by the revelations in the case of Viereck s
/ Weekly.
This publication was probably the most
prominent Of the German newspapers in
America.
Such agencies as the Vigilantes and
many newspapers have constantly and per-
sistently urged the suppression of such pa
pers. The campaign met considerable OPP

speech and a policy Of Cancellation 1t is

The Viereck case has just begun. Some
very interesting developments may be ex-
gpected. It will be necessary for certain
political interests to explain the support
given them by Viereck's before the storm
has blown over entirely. The man who
drew 100000 for himself and many times
that SUM for distribution from the German
government, was not supporting political
parties and individual politicians without
gome end III view. Nor was Mr.. Viereck

chords that thrilled through the French revolu-

history.
1t was in 1874. that the people of Williamsburg

and another to change condition of things.
Mr.. Flood says that the famous document
drawn UP there was a most eloquent paper, in
many respects SURPRISING the great Declaration
Of Independence signed two years later at Phil

And he's boasts Of his district without any
apology for seeming to be vainglorious Per-

his country and jealous in season and out of

CREDIT.

Credit is the most Intangible, the most
valuable and the most easily dlsslpated
business asset that an individual, state
or nation can possess.
An individual with credit doesn't need
capital but the only way to establish credit
! is to merit it by absolute adherence to
tpledges and scrupulous honesty.
The only way a state or nation can
establish and maintain credit, is by the
same course Of conduct Any legislation
that seeks to tamper with contracts al
sready made, will ruin the credit OF state
FOR nation.
Mexico is one example. The industrial
fprostration of Mexico is due less to the
actual fighting than to the fact that prop
lerty rights are no longer safe there. No
Eoutside capitalist will invest a dollar in
Mexico until he is assured Of protection.
Russia is another example. The country
that repudiated one set Of bond issues can
fbe expected to do the same with another
kset. Russian bonds can be purchased for
few cents on the dollar today and Rus
Esia couldn t float another bond issue to re-
kestabEsh her commerce and industry, at 10
cents on the dollar.
North Dakota hasn't reached the stage
! of Mexico and Russia yet, by long ways,
| but she is headed in that general direction.
The men who are going to suffer the most
are the men with property in the state, who
can It get it out. Those men are the farm
ers. They can't move their farms away.
But the minute the states credit is ruined
those farms shrink in value.
Call it Big Business taking revenge if
you want to put it that way. Call it by
any name you please, but you can't escape
the working Of financial laws any more
than you can escape the working of nat
ural laws. No farmer would put his crops
in in September and expect to harvest
them in March. Yet there are farmers
who think they can make it impossible to
enforce contracts and yet expect to have
new contracts made as freely as before.
Before we tuyn the state over entirely to
the council of defense and to Mr.. Townley
to exploit, it behooves the men most inter
ested to do a little hard thinking about
plain facts and forget prejudices.

WON BY ADVERTISING.

Do you know the factor that has enabled
Mr.. Schwab to make such success of the
shipbuilding program2
Advertising.
He has advertised success; advertised
team play; advertised patriotism; adver-
tised speed.
Since he assumed charge Of the ship
building program, Mr.. Schwab has spent
but little time at his desk. He has been
travelling about the country from coast to
coast, visiting every city where there is
shipyard, getting himself interviewed by
the newspapers and attending banquets.
Mr.. Schwab doesn't seek personal pub
icity. He could have had libraries full of
it during his career in the business world,
but he has always avoided it until he took
his present job. During the last few weeks
he probably has had more publicity than
any other man in America, not excepting
even the President. Incidentally he has
secured much more publicity for the ship
yards and most of all for the men who work
in them. He has convinced the American
public that the man who works in a ship
yard is not only not Stacker, but just as
much of a soldier as the man in the
trenches. He has put the army spirit into
the shipyards. He has every man up on
his toes working at top speed.
The uses Of advertising are not confined
to selling a yard of ribbon or a dollars
worth of groceries.

The urine is scanty or suppressed

depends upon the chemical and

symptoms differ slightly. There is
apt to be a progressive loss OF flesh

digestive disturbances and dropsy.
Shortness Of breath may be a promi-

Not Only Reading, Poetry, But Writing It Is

Francis Rogers Of The Vigilantes.
In intercourse with our soldiers in France one
soon discovers that many Of them are living an
active, often an exalted, inner life The gossip
that used to satisfy their hours Of leisure no
longer meets their need for mental refreshment,
and their minds seem to crave the solid nourish-
ment to be found in poetry and religion. 20
A member Of the Foreign Legion, who was by
no means educated man in the usual sense Of
the phrase told us that he always carried in
his pocket a copy of THE Golden Treasury"
which had comforted him through many a weary
vigil in shell hole and trench Robert w S3erv-

Not only do they read poetry; they write it.
We met boy who had composed reams Of

censor told us, were written in the same me-
dunn.
That delightful mirror of arm life, the Stars

become interested in Methuselah. At their urg-
ent request the teacher related all the authentic
information recorded in the Bible about the
amazing man. also various anecdotes CLEANED
from less reliable sources. IN conclusion she
said:
Now is that all? Are there any further
questions you would like to ask about Methu-
selah"?

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

The New Rockford State Center hes this very
timely suggestions:
Most Of the Liberty Bonds are not regis
tered, and therefore if lost or stolen can be
turned into cash by anyone into whose hands
they may fall. They have been bought by
millions Of people. q comparatively small
percentage of whom have really safe places
in which to keep them. The wise thing to
do is to keep the bonds in safety deposit
box, If near a town where such boxes are
available. II not then deposit them with
your banker, who has facilities for keeping
them safely. It Is foolish to keep bonds
about the house. where they may be lost or
stolen or destroyed by fire.

It is easy to foresee the action Of the state
council Of defense in taking over the eleva-
tors Of the state is going to meet with OPP
position. but it is entirely in keeping with
BILE purpose Of war economy and the release
Of quite number of men for other work,
agriculture particularly. We have no doubt
the elevator work right here in Parshan can
be done with half the labor usually en-
ployed, to say nothing Of the overhead charge
in Twin City offices for line elevators, We
rather imagine the biggest holer will be
made by the line houses. In arriving at the
physical valuation Of elevators, 1t Is said
the assessed value will be considered. that
will prove huge joke If the companies
have been ducking on taxes A case Of the
chickens coming home to roost.
The Mandan Pioneer publishes the following
bit Of good Americanlsm:
Since the beginning of the you have
perhaps heard parents who. having children
below the draft age, say that they were I'M
concerned about the whole affair
But really can anyone afford to be un-
concerned and especially parents of boys
ranging in age up to twenty-one? If they
will only look back over history and note
the wars that have heightened out over
long period Of years-in other words II they
will only think-they will get in back of the
government in this war and try to bring 1t
to the quickest possible conclusion in &C
cordance, of course with right and justice.
And the quickest way out is straight
through.
If we want to shorten this war; If we
want to keep the young men, who are still
too young for draft service from going to war;
If we want to eliminate the other burdens
that war imposes, then we must back up
Uncle Sam with all our might, we must give
when we are called upon to give, we must
conserve food when we are asked to con-
serve, we must be united people.
