Paris, Oct. s1.--I an editorial dis
cussing armistiee terms, IlInforna-
ton suggests the following condi-
tons:
Observation-Disclosures OF the Bos-
phorus and the DardaneIIes.
1.-THE occupation OF enemy ports
on the Adriatic.
THE surrender OF Austrian war;
ships.
"The right to use Austro- Hungar-
ian railway lines.
THE evacuation of A1sace Lorraine
and territories wrongly occupied In
the east and west.
The surrender of arms, muni-
tons and submarines.
THE occupation OF fortresses and
bridges along the Rhine and OF Lux
embourg and Essen.
THE occupation of Kiel and Ham
burg.
THE removal of mines from terri
torial waters.
THE delivery as a preliminary
compensation for damages, or part
of the enemy merchant marine.
THE cessation Of manufacturing
for war purposes"
George Boussenot, member of
the naval committee of the chamber
of deputies writing on the same sub
ject in the Journal, proposes the
seizure of the enemy fleets by the
entente, the delivery of enemy SUBJ
marines disarmed to neutral coun-
tries or the entente, the occupation Of
Cuxhaven Helgoland, Polas and Cat
taro and the replacement OF lost ton
mage by enemy tonnage,

" escaping the fate Of unconditional sur
render"
Why should the words unconditional
surrender be so difficult for our BoIshevilc
friends to swallow. Every pacffst, pro-
German, intellectual" and Socialist sud-
denly acquires courage to pipe up for a
negotiated peace. Among them, Of course,
is the Townley- Socialist press.
Unconditional Surrender" does not
mean forsaking the Wilson terms--it
means enforcing them as we interpret
them, net as Germany sees them. Mr.. Will
son himself has already repudiated one Of
his own terms, and has been forced to ex-
plain another. If such complications arise
before Germany even begins discussion of
them, what might not happen with Ger
many party to the peace conference7
Let us, therefore, view all the peace
notes in their proper Importance. The al
lied war council is now considering the
terms Of an armistice, and will announce
them shortly. When they are announced
the way to peace is open. Germany and
Austria can show the white flag on the field
of battle and send across delegates to the
military leaders of the Allies instructed to
negotiate an armistice on the Allied terms.
Then, and not until then, will we be JUST
fed in talking peace.

inson Nonpartisan league member Of the
supreme court, had publicly stated that ne
had made a election promise TO oYerrule
the decision in the case Of the state ex rel
versus Hall, and that he would not have been
elected IL he had not done go is not only
Sensational but 1t is appalling.
II Justice Robinson made that pledge
then IL is fair to believe that the other Nom
partisan members OF the court also made
similar pledges. At any rate the decision OF
the supreme court on the Nonpartisan
amendments shows the three Nonpartisan
members voting to reverse the decision in the
case mentioned above. sa.s.
Is it true then that a case is not tried on
it's merits before the supreme court of the
state Of North Dakota? Is it true that su-
preme court candidates must make their
decisions before they can be elected to the
highest court of justice in the state? Is
1t true that the supreme court is a party to
the Socialist idea Of mob rule?
What man can take a case before this
court hereafter without fear and trembling
that his case was decided by a prediction
pledge and is not to be heard and decided on
its merits.
This revelation of Chief Justice Bruce
should furnish food for serious thought on the
part Of the people Of North Dakota =

The arguments against the proposed
amendments to the constitution of North
Dakota, resolve themselves into this:
They remove the limit from the bonded
indebtedness of the state.
They remove all restrictions on how the
money shall be spent.
They remove all restrictions on how the
taxes to pay these bonds and the interest
on them shall be raised.
They turn the unlimited credit of the

WILL THE CHURCHES BE NExTY

Provided the statement Of Mr.. George
Totten is true, and all educators in North
Dakota are required to give certain assllr-
ances of their friendliness toward the Non
partisan league what is the answer of GER
tain heads of North Dakota's higher edu-
cational institutions who have been hired
since the Socialists secured control Of the
state?
How much of their intellectual indepen-
dence and scholastic freedom have they
surrendered?
How far have they promised to go to-
ward insidiously instilling the doctrines of
Socialism into the students of these in
situations?
Moreover, the letter puts directly up
to the voters Of the state the question
'tare we going to permit the public schools
and higher institutions of learning in the
state to offer our children first courses in
Bolshevism?'
We have the statement of the chief JUS
tice of the supreme court Of the state that
the Socialists laid their hands on the courts
and demanded a promise to uphold So
cialist policies in certain specified court
decision This was made the condition Of
the election of certain supreme court JUS
tees. Now the Socialists are shown to
have laid their hands on the schools. The
courts, schools and churches are considered
the institutions above all others that should
be kept out Of the mire of politics. The
churches alone have been left untouched
as yet. Perhaps the Socialist doctrines Of
free love will be the next step.

A REMINDER TO THE BOYS.

Tonight is Hallowe 'en.
For the little folks with their lanterns
and their Hallowe'e EN- games, there can be
nothing but sympathy.
For the parade of spooks, and all harm
less pranks there will be full tolerance and
cooperation.
But to the few more mature celebrants
who may have been tempted in former
years to engage in pranks involving the
destruction of property, there is this word
Of warning: anything that destroys prop
erty, or involves increased labor in war
times is a clearcut act Of disloyalty. The
boy who overturns an outbuilding or de-
stroys fence tonight, makes it just little
bit more difficult to win the war. II mil
lion boys in America started out bent on
destruction tonight they might do dam
age, the repair of which would call for
enough labor to build ship for the Allies.
That ought to be and will be sufficient
reminder to Fargo boys.

THE BATTLE OF TYPEWRITERs.

The barrage Of peace notes from the bat
teries of clicking typewriters in Berlin and
Vienna, has reached the intensity of drum
fire.
The enemy is using mostly gas. and the
few high explosive shells being sent over
are mostly buds and harmless. But he
intends the gas to reach the civilian popu-
Iation, with the hope Of creating friction
between the Allies; arousing sympathy for
The German people T and retarding the
American war preparations, thus ultimate

THE MINIMUM TERMS.

What will be the terms of an armistice
laid down by the allied war councilf
The proceedings of this body, now in ses-
sion in Paris, are being conducted with
great secrecy, the press censor refusing to
let anything regarding them escape him.
But certain definite demands undoubt-
eddy will be made.
1t is inconceivable that Great Britain
and France and Belgium and Italy will
relinquish any of the military advantages
won at such terrific cost. The one great
requisite of this armistice is that Germany
and Austria shall be wholly powerless to
resume the war if the peace conference
makes terms that are not to their liking.
The terms of the armistice, therefore, prob
ably will involve the surrender Of the en-.
tire German feet including the submarines,
as a hostage; the immediate rehabilitation
of the Austrian and German armies with
permission to the Allies to occupy German
territory up to the bank Of the Rhine at
least; the dismantling of all German NUM-
ton plants and the surrender Of the stores
of munitions remaining; the immediate and
ers held in the Central Empires.
These requirements are vital, and un-
douRtedly will be demanded. In addition
to them, it would be most fitting that an
Allied detachment be permitted to march
through the streets of Berlin, as a German
force did through the streets of Paris, not
as mere boast, but as definite, concrete
proof to the German people that the Ger.
man military power has suffered com
plete and overwhelming defeat. Even the
junkers could not explain away trium-
phal parade Of Allied forces along Inter
Den Linden to the Kaiser's palace In the
case Of Turkey, the further requirement
should be made, that the forts of the
Dardapelles be dismantled, and the Allied
feet permitted to occupy the Sea of
Marmora and the Black Sea-
With such an armistice as this, any peace
terms the Allies decide upon would be en-
forced without opposition from the Central
Empires.
Many technical details will also have
to be adjusted. For example, the Allies
probably would not permit the entire Ger,
man feet to appear at once to surrender
It would be safer to have the warships
come out of the Kiel canal, one at time
Also the strictest assurances must be ivgen
that in the retirement to the bank of the
Rhine, there will be no destruction.
If the allied war council offers armistice
terms that fall short Of these, it will betray
the armies that have been fighting fol-
four years. Such terms as these should
be the minimum. Anything in the nature
Of guarantees that they care to add will i'm
prove the armistice. This is not going tt
be scrap of paper"

miles in length, running south TO
west of Lake Garda, thence east
across the Brenta and Piave to the
apex of the new allied wedge near
sacile, where it turns south and west
to the Adriatic.
The active Italian front has been
considered generally as being between
Lake Garda and the Adriatic, front
OF about 100 miles. The Piave line,
on which the allied troops now are
advancing is about 80 miles from the
Piaye east of Monte Grappa to the

A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep

The Hettinger County Herald has this comment
on the despicable fight made against Miss Nelson
by the Socialists:
The Townley papers are continuing their
Tight against Miss Nelson, candidate for state
superintendent of schools, and have made SER
ious misrepresentation of the facts in MAX
ing out a case against her. The North Da-
kota Leader states that she is tool being
used by slackers, grafters and ncompetents
to get the scalp OF Superintendent Macdonald,
who has incurred their ennity. The Leader
states that Miss Nelson is not friend of the
rural schools This woman candidate is not
qualified to be state superintendent She has
not even a complete high school education.
You will not want to employ her to teach
even your own older children She has been
far more active in city woman's affairs and
society events than in educational matters"
The facts are that Miss Nelson completed
the grade and high school courses of Valley
city and has since taken advanced courses
in the universities of North Dakota, Michigan
and Chicago
