When we have won, and obtain
ed territorial concessions, we shall
receive lands inhabited by French or
Russians, consequently by enemies
one wonders if such an increase of
territory will improve our situation.
In our national egoism and hard
ness of heart we have not got so far
as TO demand from a vanquished
enemy the cession of uninhabited
territory.
ITO speak openly on the question
ofevacuation' has it's utility, so that
our enemies should know that this
extreme measure has its supporters
in Germany
Those who have learned to think
according TO the historical school
will be Mortified when we demand
the evacuation of land inha bited by
Europeans; for that signifies the vio-
lent interruption Of an historical de-
velopment centuries old Besides,
the idea wounds the sensibilities OF
civilized man and is contrary to the
modern law of nations which pro-
tects individual property. But if we
consider seriously the peculiar posi-
ton of the German people, squeezed
into the middle of Europe and run
ming the risk of being suffocated for
want of air. it must be agreed that
we might be compelled to demand
from a vanquished enemy, either in
the east or in the west, that he
should hand over the appropriated
territory.
I'VE must not contemplate an Of
fensive war undertaken with the OBJ
ject Of getting territory evacuated;
but we ought to get used to the idea
that such a step would be admis-
sible as a reply to an enemy's at
tack"

Capital City Enters on New Year
With Excellent Financial
Showing.
CLEAR1NGs SHOW BUSINESS

Bismarck is entering the new year
on sounder financial basis than it
has ever before known. The year
1917, unsatisfactory as it was from
many angles, was for the capital city
one of substantial progress. The year
closed with bank deposits aggregat-
ing $4,350,000; with daily clearings
ranging from $4,000 to 100000, and
with the thrift idea thoroughly incul

The Bismarck Clearing House as.

has wrought great improvement in
the financial machinery of the capital
city. All of Bismarcks five banks
The First National, City National Bis
marck, Capital Security and First

bers of this organization, making daily
clearings through the association. The
volume of current local business han.

in one day, Jan. 2, $56,927.9S in checks
and dafts was cleared through this as

tons, Sept 6, the association cleared
$31 ,049.45 in purely local business, and
the second day checks and drafts to

the week ending January IL totalled
$1770,7S202 and this does not include

side of Bismarck, nor the state clear.
ings, which aggregate as much as
100000 in single day through only
one of the five members Of the asso-
citation, nor the postOf1ie and county
business.
The capital city's banks regard the
clearing house association as most
important advance in Bismarck bank
ing methods, and there is no question
as to the value of the association as
a means of keeping watch of the city's
financial pulse.
Postoffice Receipts.

1917 greater proportional gain in re-
ceipts than shown by any other city

were 1t not for war times and econ
omy's necessities, the record of the
last year would advance the capital
city one or two subdivisions higher
in fls class. The Office now stands
second to none in North Dakota.
The receipts for the year were
3113,547.43, an increase of $2S,301.S4
over aggregate receipts Of $85,345. SO
IN 1916. In 1910 the receipts of the
