WITH THE EDITORS.
WAS AN INSPIRATION

The city of Bismarck and the state OF North
Dakota certainly demonstrated it's patriotism on
Monday and Tuesday Of this week when the b'g
"war council'' was held in the capital city under
the direction of the State Council OF Defense.
Representatives from every part OF the state were
there and eminent speakers and men who were IN
close touch with war affairs explained the exact
situation to the citizens in way that would even
make an alien enemy turn over to red-blooded
American patriot.
Among other things that was especially sig
nificant of the patriotism of the state was the
mobilization of the Home Guards Of the state.
There were units from all parts, some in uniform
and some in civilian dress, but all came to show
their patriotism and to eXtol their willingness to
protect the interests at home while our brave
boys were defending the cause of democracy, lib
erty and freedom abroad There were some fine
looking bodies of men, and who very plainly gave
one the impression that it would not be exactly
healthy for any German spies or so-called 'Wob-
bles" to monkey with anything in this state.
One of the purposes of the mobilization of the
Home Guards at this time was to get the units
united into some sort of form so that they could
work together and thus more efficiently accom-
plsh the ends for which the organizations were
formed. A meeting Of the Guard men was held
Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of talking the
matter over, and it is reported that they have ar
rived at plans for the carrying out of the work
along more united line than heretofore. Hazel
