B In view Of the urgent. demand which
is anticipated for haydn North Dakota
this fall, and because the most con-
venient shipping point on Standing
Rock reservation, which is one Of tho
states best sources Of hay, now has
no rail facilities, the North Dakota
Council Of Defense is contemplating,
as a war measure, the laying of the
thirty miles Of rails required to con-
meet CannOnball with Fort Yates:
The grade is already constructed.
Only two new culverts are required.
Secretary Thomas Allan Boz has in
vestigated and discovered that second
hand rails suitable for this purpose
are available, and if Director General
McAdoo should decide that his admin
istration cannot handleItf necessary
construction, the council of defense
will be asked to issue bonds and build
the road. Prompt action is necessary
if the Cannonball-Fort Yates line is to
be completed in time to handle this
seasons crop.
Last year, while North Dakotans
not more than 200 miles from the res
ervation, were forced to send over in
to Minnesota and pay fancy prices for
hay, the Standing Rock crop, which
was loaded on cars around $6 and 81
the ton, was shipped out of the state
into Montana, because the Milwaukee
line is the only system offering Sioux
county. railway facilities. 1t is esti-
mated that at least $1,00O,000 tons Of
good hay will be available on Stand
ing Rock this fall. The present charge
of hauling from Fort Yates to Cannon
ball, the nearest North Dakota rail
point, is GS, while with a railroad con-
structed this freight charge would
more than cover the cost of trans
portations to the most distant point in
North Dakota.
The council of defense also is con-
sidering a proposal, that it lease sew.
eral hundred thousand acres of Stand
ing Rock grazing land and employ
tractor outfits in harvesting the hay
crop next year, thus still further re.
ducing the cost of feed to North Da-

GERMAN AND GERMANS

We are fighting Germany, not the

We fight to bring democracy to the
world, a democracy based on a COM
mon understanding of each other. II
we are to understand each other we
must be able to speak with each other
or read each others writings. The
basis of a common understanding is
language. II we are to make the
world safe for democracy with the
Germans in it we must be able to
bring this ideal of freedom, equality
and fraternity TO them. How else
than by the understanding Of the Ian
guage?
We must also remember that Ger
many believes in the doctrine Of
might makes right" We must learn
to see how it can take that attitude in
order to sympathetically show it the
wrong Germany Is using the club
idea OF pounding her ideal into the
head Of the world Our ideal of de-
mocracy means the rationalizing Of
the whole earth. This means SYM
pathy. An appreciation of the Ger
man language will help to gain this
right attitude. To bring the ideal of
democracy to the Germans We must
not only be able to speak the Englis'
language, embodying our standpoint.
but We must be able to meet them
more than half way by being able to
interpret our ideal in terms that they
may learn to understand. This means
a knowledge of the German language.
