TO SELL OUT THE HYPHEN

The proposed trade boycott of Germany, after
the war, may be an unsound, an impossible propo-
sition but the Palmer BILL just unanimously
passed by the senate is an entirely different mat
ter, both as to prospects and effectiveness.
This Palmer bill, authorizing the sale OF all
enemy property in this country, is the first great
step toward uprooting German influence and in
terests in America. 1t fits into the general cru
SADIE for elimination of the German language,
products and social and political organizations.
We have not yet got to hating Germany, but
we have got to calmly deciding that her influence
is bad and are deliberately taking steps to cut it
out 1t is one Of the penalties that Germany has
fully earned by her war policies and it is penalty
which she must pay through the long years Of
peace.
The Palmer measure does not interfere with
the property of Germans or Austrans living in
this country. Property holding is one means OF
causing such to become good American citizens,
but it is going to be cold day for the hyphen
The German American this, that or the other
thing is going to be made disreputable, by public
opinion and by law.

MOVE IN. RIGHT DIRECTION

The citizens mass meeting held Wednesday for
consideration of the proposed recall election was
move in the right direction. Meetings of this kind
are more common in the smaller villages than in
cities of the size of Bismarck There is no reason,
however, why large towns should not have them,
and frequently. An informal get-together, talk
t-over, get-it-out-o of your-system sort of a pow
WOW of this nature is a good thing for the town
and for all concerned ~
Wednesday, for instance, this meeting revealed
the fact that sentiment in Bismarck is overwhelm-
ingly against a recall election at this time. With
out regard to politics or affiliations of other kinds,
the substantial, thinking business men Of the city
openly went VI record as opposed to anything be-

those who make politics trade to fight their
battles according to their own rules. This is a
time, however, when common conditions do not

THE SAME OLD PRUSSIAN

The genus homo known popularity as the Prus-
sian war lord is like the leopard in that ne does
not change his distinctive spots. He is OF the
same stuff that entered into his moral and mental
makeup some Al years ago-has the same lust
for conquest, plumber, destructiveness and ter
rorism.
AS witness to this fact the Wall Street Journal
summons quotation from an article in the Fort
nightly Review Of February, 1871, by Frederick
Harrison, who discussed conditions OF the Franco
Prussian war shortly before the surrender of Paris
to the German invaders. Mr.. Harrison thus wrote:
One third of France has been given up
to fire and sword. For 800 or 400 miles
vast armies have poured on. Every village
they have passed through has been the vic
tim of what is only organized plllage.
Every city has been practically sacked, ran
sacked on system; it's citizens plundered,
it's civil officials terrorized imprisoned,
outraged or killed. The civil population has
been, contrary to the usage of modern war
fare, forced to serve the invading armies,
brutally put to death, reduced to wholesale
starvation and desolation Vast tracts of
the richest and most Industrious districts of
Europe have been deliberately stripped and
plunged into famine solely in order that the
invaders might make war cheaply. Irregu-
lar troops, contrary to all the practices of
war, have been Systematically murdered,
and civil populations unfortunately mas
sacred, solely to spread terror. A regular
system Of ingenious terrorism has been
directed against civilians, as horrible as
anything in the history Of civil or religious
wars. Large and populous cities have been,
not once but twenty, thirty, forty times,
bombarded and burnt, and the women and
children in them wantonly slaughtered,
with the sole object Of inflicting suffering.
All this has been done not in license or pas
sion, but by the calculating ferocity of
scientific soldiers.
Save for the 300 or 400 miles," how many
words in this extract would have to be changed to
tit absolutely the facts Of today? In forty-seven
years the Prlssian militarist has not needed to
have a new picture Of himself taken. Forty-seven
years hence he will be the same old genus with the
worlds woodshed and tIrashed into submission
and hemility. The der that an in ihust Aee
east out let the effort and cost be what It may.

StumDs and stones were all removed c
marked farm from farm and field
curacy. Tut there is more than me
vague, indefinable something which
strikes the eye uneasily, and presently
the answer comes-monotony!
From horizon to horizon it is all one
color, one texture; from the hills over
there, lacing their bare trees against
the morning sky like sort of glori-
fled. Vallenciennes, to the brook way
yonder its banks lined with tender
sprouted willows, it is all the same
unvarying green. -
1t is as if the foot of man had
not trod here. .t H..
What is wrong? Again the vague,
uneasy puzzling.
In this field the cattle had been
used to Craze the grass to brown
rooted shortness; in that, where the
brook runs through, to trample the
ground into a yellow. morass. Over
there, at this season, the vivid color
of the coming grain had already made
it's contrasting checker, and, still be-
You'd, the plough had turned the mat
of nature under fresh black loan!
A score OF hues the labor and the
enterprise of man had made on the
crust of earth by now; but today
there is only one--the emerald of
moist outdoors. The fields are slip
ping back to the monotony of desola-
ton, and the shadow which creeps ov-
er the land is desolation itself. 1t is
the war ar.s
To enter the barnyard of well-to-
do French farm is like entering a
village for all the buildings, the
desidencc, the sheds for grain and
hay, tie workshops, the barns and
the implement shelters, are built
around a big courtyard, the entrance
to which is by way of heavily barred
gate through thick wall ;relic of
medieval days, when wars were local,
and every mans house was his fort.
Industry and frugality made this
place prosperous, and erected this
picturesque skyline of tiled
roofs, but the teeming life of the
spacious court is gone, and the
great barns have less in them with
each passing year of the war.
In this big stone barn, long rows
of beautiful, thicknecked Perch
eron -draught horses once filled
the now empty stalls. The war
took them.
There are only three where scores
had been before A fourth one
stands in the courtyard, great, white,
sleek, heavy-rumped fellow, his pond
erous foot between the legs of a
Boche blacksmith, and his bride held
by another lazy, contented-l looking
Eoche. The most fortunate men in
Europe, these fellows. and they know
it, men in the prime of sturdiness,
who have no cares, who are certain of
good food and lodging and who do not
need to risk their lives. Safe from the
war are these German prisoners.
