ALL A MISTAKE.

Evidently the state council of defense
isn't quite certain what rules and regula"
lions it has passed.
The explanation of Thomas Allan Box
that it is "all mistake" about the plan
to seize the elevators, must be accepted as
the truth, although the report that the
resolution actually was adopted came
from such good sources that the league
newspapers here in Fargo published It,
Z Now Mr. Box claims that the plan was
merely before the council for considera-
ton and had not been approved. In fact
there is some doubt whether it will be ap-
Eproved.
/ But even though the elevator Selling
plan is ''off'' for the moment, the council
still has one legislative and executive
achievement to it's credit, the glory Of
(which cannot be dimmed. 1t has decreed
that no man shall call another man pro-
German unless he can prove it. Such
superb constructive craftsmanship as that
tCannot be hidden. .un.

Chlorine Gas

Chlorine Is q greenish yellow gas two and one
half times as heavy as air. 1t is one Of the most
active chemical elements, combining with few
exceptions, with all the other elements,
+ Being so much heavier than air, it will not
readily diffuse In It, but will stay close to the
bottom Of any receptacle In which 1t 10 placed,
The Germans have taken advantage Of this
property in their use Of it az poison gas When
chlorine is sent over with a favorable wind to
the Allies trenches, it flows along over the
ground, filling every depression just water
would do. ALI Of the, shell craters dugouts and
other places where the troops have taken refuge
are filled with this deadly poison.
The great weight Of chlorine, gas serves an
other purpose in It's use in barbaric warfare.
When q soldier breathes air mixed with it, the
weight Of the chlorine causes 1t to fill UP the
lower cavities of the lungs and 1t is rot exhaled,
and when more of, the polluted air is breathed
more chlorine fills the lungs, until they contain
nothing but the poisonous gas, This produces
the effect Of drowning, besides breaking down
the tissues.
In many ways chlorine is Of use in modern
domestic life; the principal ones being as dis
infectant as a. bleaching agent, and for medicinal
purposes.
Chlorine composes so per cent Of our table
salt
When ships come to America from the Orient
they are sometimes closed up air tight and
chlorine pumped into the hold to kill all Of the
rats, thereby preventing the spread Of the hu-
bonic plague.
Chlorine dissolved in water often is given to
patients suffering from various diseases, par
ticularly typhoid fever.
Perhaps the most important use of chlorine
however, is In the publication Of water supply
Dissolved in water in minute quantities, the
gas kills all Of the bacteria, and renders stag
nant water suitable for drinking purposes.
Water contains hydrogen and oxygen. and
chlorine has a great affinity for hydrogen and
combines with it readily, thereby releasing the
oxygen. This nascent oxygen is probably what
kills the germs In this way chlorine is used ex-
tensively as an oxidzing agent.

THE ANVIL is RESTORED.

Russian news is good news these days,
and the day when the eastern front will be
re-established seems drawing nearer daily.
Russia has been described as the "anvil"
against which the blows of the Allies In
the west can crush Germany. For the last
year the anvil has not been functioning.
It has resembled feather bed more than
an anvil, but the formation of the new
Siberian republic, the rapid growth Of the
power Of the Czecho-Slovak movement, the
decision Of the Allies to intervene to pro-
tect the military stores at VIadivostok and
aid the Czecho-Slovaks and the probable
utilization Of the newly reorganized Japa-
nese army, make the best reading that has
come out of Russia for many weary
months.
The eastern front may be moved back as
far as Petrograd and Moscow, with the
Germans and their Bolshevik allies holding
hostile country, but the big fact remains
that the anvil seems in fair way to be
restored, and when the allied blow does
come, it will crush and not just push back

Harden Speaks
His Mind About
German Rulers
tBy Associated Press.1


London, July 15.~-A sharp indict-
nent of the rulers of Germany by
Maxinillian Harden is contained in
current nu1nper of Die zukunft.
1.-THE holders Of high offices" he is
quoted as saying by the Rotterdam
correspondent Of The Daily Tele
graph, when it seems useful to
themselves, profess to favor a new
world order of democracy and ma
tional peace, but they really are only
carrying on the tradition Of the
power Of the sword.
No high parsonage in the German
empire" he says, wishes to see set
up a league Of nations, adhesion to
which has been declared by the states
of North and South America and
representatives Of England, France,
Italy, Canada, Australia and India.
The continuance of endeavors to
conceal this fact has become unnec-
essary since Brest Litovsk and
Bucharest.
we know what the enemy wants
and we know that we have a gov
ernment which calling itself pan
German of whatever else it likes, only
expects peace through the might OF
the army and feels certain of obtain
ing it in a short time.
We may be certain that no words
Of theirs will ever gain belief any
where.
