Work Fund DriUe
Is Successful

The United War Work fund drive
in Moorhead is proving a big sue
cess and fully one-ha1f of the amount
to be raised has already been pledged
by voluntary payments and sub
scripions.
On account Of the celebration on
Monday and the closing OF all busi-
ness houses of the city the subscrip-
tion booths will be kept open today
and this evening. Nearly $4,000 was
pledged on Monday and before noon
today this amount was increased to
So, 600.
Ulen village was the first precinct
in the county to go over the top. II.
A. johnson, chairman Of the village
committee, reported to County
Chairman Martin this morning that
the quota had already been over
subscribed. "
Red Cross Makes Appeal.
The following announcement is
made by F. T. Heffelfnger, manager
Of the Northern division OF the Red
Cross:
"The Red Cross, while urging the
most cordial support and co-opera-
tion on the part of all its members,
does not participate in the United
War Fund campaign next week. It
is quite evident that there has been
misunderstanding in many places
on this point. The Red Cross is
amply equipped with funds with
which to take care of it's needs until
the late spring Of next year, at
which time campaign for funds for
its relief work may be necessary.
'Tt is but fair to the organizations
in the United War Fund that the
public should understand that contri-
buttons next week are exclusively for
their work. It is also but fair to the
public that the people should know
the provision for the needs of the
Red Cross during the coming year Is
not taken care OF during this cam
paign. The Red Cross does not auth
orize any one to carry on a campaign
for funds in it's name or for its work,
but 1t does urge the utmost possible
generosity toward the United War
Work campaign for the seven recrea-
tional organizations whose budgets
have been approved by the national
government"

Just Solutions of Disputes
Convinced of the common aims
and ideals of democracy, the Ger
man governent has addressed it
self TO tho president OF the United
States @&eh the request to re-
establish peace. This peace was
meant to correspond with the prin-
ciples the president always has
maintained. The aim was to be a
just solution Of all questions in dis
plte, followed by a permanent re-
conciliation OF all nations.
Furthermore, the president de-
clared he did not wish to make war
on the German people and did not
wish to impede its peaceful develop
ment. The German government has
received the conditions Of the arnais-
tice.
Blockade VIII starve Millions
After the blockade, those condi-
tions, especially tho surrender of
means Of transport and the sus-
tenance of the troops of occupation,
would make it impossible to pro-
vide Germany with food and would
cause the starvation OF millions Of
men, women and children, all the
more as the blockade is to continue.
I'VE had to accept the conditions,
but feel 1t is our duty to draw the
presidents attention most solemnly
and in all earnestness to the fact
that enforcement Of the conditions
must produce amongst the German
people feelings contrary to those up
on which alone the recons truction
of the community of nations can
rest, guaranteeing just and durable
peace.
