D. S. Judge, Edward Meek, Speaks
Plainly to His Fellow-Cidzens

and more through these weeks
and months of stress and strain
that the Government Of our
fathers is founded upon the
Mighty and Everlasting prin-
ciples of liberty, Equality be-
tween man and man, and JUS
tice alike to the high and low,
the rich and poor. It is to pre-
serve these our soldiers are
fighting overseas. Our first
great continuous and ever-pres-
ent duty is to supply the sinews
of war, the material funds, the
money needed to prosecute the
war to a successful issue-this
most tremendous war in world
history.
We are not called upon to
give, to donate this money. We
are called upon to loan it, to in
vest it in bonds to bear interest
and the principal to he returned
to us at a stipulated time.
Under these conditions, when
called upon again by the United
States to invest in Liberty
Bonds, can we do less than
Loan to them for the prosecu-
tion of our war to the utmost
sum of money we can reduce
to our possession within the
stipulated time, having first
made provision for simple and
abstemious living and for the
bare demands Of trade or busi-
ness. If we fail in this duty
and of its performance in the
stated measure, then we fail to
do our level best in a material
way for the great world cause,
the cause for which our soldiers
are ready to make the supreme
sacrifice. Ready? Yes, willing
| ly and gloriously ready.

Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1918-05-20

Washington, May 2O.-How far the
senate will go or the administration
will go in the inquiry into aircraft
production or lack of II remains for
the future to reveal, but the accusa-
tions of a New York sculptor. Gut
%on Rorglum, are giving the senators
and aircraft folk at Washington many
hectic days and sleepless nights.
Senator Chamberlain already has
in the senate a resolution calling for
an investigation directed principally
at aircraft production failure, but
broad enough to embrace everything
connected with the war department.
Administration senator's indicate that
they will not let it pass without trou-
bile. They maintain that they wish
to hide nothing, but insist that tho
military affairs committee should not
be given an absolutely free reign.

E
All Soldiers Should Register
Before Leaving the
III, County.

With the entertainment Of hundreds
of soldiers from North. Dakota within
the next few weeks for cantonments,
besides the thousands of soldiers al
ready in training, considerable anxiety
Is being felt by officers and soldiers as
to the outlook of having their vote
counted In. the state primaries to be
held in June. North Dakota already
has 1927 men in training at different
cantonrnents, officers stationed in
many of the leading camps OF the
country and many men Of age in the
service of the navy.
Officers and soldiers already in
training camps in the United States
may write the county auditor or the
assessor now for registration blanks.
Recently it was stated that the adju-
tant general of North Dakota was
considering the possibility Of naming
a, committee to take the votes Of the
large number of North Dakotans at
Camp Dodge, Des Moines.
1t was made clear that voting the
absent voter ballot only applies to
soldiers in the United States. A re-
cent ruling by H. P. Mccain. adjutant
general Of the United States, relates
that as to soldiers in France or other
foreign soil, the department has
reached the decision that their vote
cannot be taken without seriously in
terfering with the military efficiency
of h nation.
The adjutant generals order says
that so far as soldiers stationed within
the borders of the United States are
concerned their votes either at the
primary or general election may be
taken by the several state govern
ments without serious interference
with the military operations of the
government. "
The department has decided that
upon the application of the secretary
of state or other commanding officer
of a state government to the COM
handing officer of a department or
division to take the vote of officers
and soldiers of the state. the COM
! handing officer shall specify place or
! places where all such officers and
soldiers in such command may exer-
else their state franchise and shall
allow the proper quali6ed election Of
fcers of such state the opportunity to
secure the votes of the citizens in
such command at the place or places
designated, and at or during such
specified period or periods of time.
The election officers will be permitted
to erect Enclosures as may be neces-
sary for the conduct of the election
and to disseminate information and
literature for instruction purposes to
the voter, but this latter privilege
shall not be construed to permit the
dissemination of information or litera-
ture calculated to influence the voter.

In February and landed in the United

he told leaders of the Bolsheviki that
important business called. him back
to the United States. and they told

a stable government. He avs he
Bolsheviki in Russia is about the
same as the l. w. w. in the United

work and the soldiers refuse to take
up arms. The peasants. however, are
firing of conditions and are longing
for q. stable government. Even the
conditions ex sting under the former

more popular than Bolsheviki rule.

Borglum has been accused, by the
men he has hit, with having planned
an aircraft production corporation
himself. Thwarted in this, say his
accusers, he set about connecting
charges against the men in author
ity. 1t is because of this counter
charge against him hat Borglum
feels he must have a complete airing

his loyalty in his letters to the pres

First Soldier To

st. Louis, Mo-, May 2o.-Private
Richard Paul Jones of Trenton. Ill,
a machine gunner. who processes to
have been the first dough-boy to set
foot on French soil. has been severely
wounded in action. Jones was a
member of the first contingent of
General Pershing's army, arriving at
a French port June 81. 1917.
In n letter to his father. Jones says
that because. of his youth. his COM
rades agreed that he should be the
first to disembark. He enlisted shortly
after the United States declaration Of
war. at the age Of II years. After. a
short stay at Jefferson Barracks, he
was sent to the Mexican border, where
he underwent intensive training with
the Eighteenth United States infantry.

Of justice. The charges made by
the New York sculptor indicate that
criminal procedure against some OF
the men who have been connected
with the making of filters may begnec-
essary. Evidence, according to Bor-
glum, may be adduced which will be
basis enough for charges Of fraud,
m~isfeasance in office, sedition or even
treason.
Senator Chamberlain recently sum-
med up what he called the attitude
Of the senate on the whole matter as
follows:
The quarrel between Borglum and
the aircraft production board or any
individual connected with 1T will nave
no influence upon the action OF the
investigators. Our interest Is 10

which was appropriated Tor al1cr al.
production and who is responsible for
the delay in the aircraft program. we
will examine any witness who can
throw light on criminality in the ex-
penditure of money or the work OF
production"
One of the emphasized irregular
tiles under Coffin's regime Is q So
called cross license agreement
which gave a monopoly on aeroplane
development in America TO an ANAL
gamated company.
The men accused by Borglun are
not o in power. Coffin has been
replaced by John D. Ryan; squier
has been made simply a signal Of
fcer. and Colonies Deeds and Mont,
goniery have had their wings clipped
Whatever form the investigation
finally takes, when the nave
committed themselves to a course
