Germany. OF course. no government
has officially indicated the existence
Of such aims, but it is apparent, some
writer's say. that the unofficial public
opinion in America and in the Eu..
ropean allied countries is in favor of
coercing neutrals to declare war upon
the central powers.
1t is well to remember that pros
poets for Scandinavia have never
looked darker than at the present
time when pressure is exerted upon
the three countries from both groups
of b%elligerents with such a force that
the situation will be worth, watching
for the next few months, and If the
statesmen Of Christiania. Copen-
hagen and Stockholm during the
period succeed in maintaining unim-
paired the strict neutrality Of their
respective countries. they will have
won a victory which may be far more
significant than many of those which
are won or the b%attlefelds by guns
and by soldiers.

D WICK FOR CONGRESS

The First district delegates to the Lincoln Fepub-
lican league convention at Minot make an excellent
choice when, they named Hon. H. G. Wick, Of Pembina
county, as their standard bearer for the Republican
congressional nomination for this district.
This district ought to be represented in congress
by a man Of character who is identified with the dis
trict, who is known to its people. who has made a cred
table record in 1t, and whose loyalty to the government
and support of 1t in the prosecution Of the war is too
we'll known and so thoroughly established that It Is
impossible to question it.. Such a man Is Judge Wick.
He has grown to manhood in the district. He has
been educated in 1t. In 1t he has made a clean and
honorable record. And he has the personal qualities
which will cause him to be respected wherever he may
go.

A WAR OF HUMANITY
(By NJ. Baranov.)

That which is happening now on
the other side of the Atlantic is no
longer a struggle in which classes or
nations alone are interested. All
mankind Is interested in the result of
this struggle.
IL Is no longer a capitalistic war, or
an lmPerialistic war, or a nationalistic
war. 1t is a war of humanity.
IL Is a war between the Middle Ages
the twentieth century, between
reuoalism and democracy, between
ness and light. The war was not such
at the beginning. 1t has become what
IT IS lately. 1t Is possible that those
that play the leading role in this
struggle dc. not understand it. The
Kaiser and Hindenburg evidently do
understand it; they are fighting for
the darkness of the Middle Ages, 9th
erWlse they would not have carried on
the war with such enthusiasm. The
statesmen of the other side are begin
ming to see this. President Wilson
seems to understand best of all that
the allies are fighting against the dark
forces of medievalism,
10 a war that has assumed such a
character only weak theorists, peanut
poiltlclans. and narrow-minded
cyclists can remain neutral. Living
beings, men and women VINO think,
U take a stand for the Germans or
against them. And thoughtful people
can take only n stand: Down with
the military and autocratic beast of
Germany and Austria. And one pro-
gram: War until the twentieth CEN
Jury is victorious over the Middle
Ases, until Democracy has shattered
imperialism, until progress has crush
ed reaction. until light has drowned
the darkness. And until the human
race has been made secure forever
against feudalism, reaction and dark
ness, all-wfthout regard to classes
and parties-must stand united and
fight on the side of progress. Democ-
racy Is light. Progress is in danger.
The future Of the human race is AT
stake. To look down upon. this ei-
gantic struggle. at such a time from
Phliosophic heights and bubble or
even condemn both sides alike is more
than idiocy. It is criminal.
And in such a time Victor Berger.
Of Wisconsin. declares that if he is
elected to the United States senate he
will demand that our country with
draw its armies from Europe, We
have no doubt. but that he earnestly
means it just as Scheidemann earnest,
~ means what he says, just ss the
cna1terer Irotsky' earnestly means
what he says. But to withdraw the
American Army from Europe at this
moment means to help the German
Junkers drown the democracies Of
France. England and Italy in blood.
and. finally. when they will have
made away. with these, to put hack
Nicholas Romanov on the Russian
throne. Who can fail to. understand
this now? Everyone now admits that
II this government had not entered
the war q yearsago, then it would
haverto do go now.
Are the Socialists standing outside
the human race? Cansthey win when
the human race loses? DO the So
cialists expect to initiate the Socia list
order in heaven and:.not. upon - the
earth? And when tie whole civilized
world lies under the heel Of the. Ger
man Junkers. DO the Socialists expect
to establish democracy and brother
hood under the foot OF Field Marshal
Won Hipdenburg?
