General Crowder Forecasts
Registration of Million Adj
ditional Men June 5
BY Associated Press

Washington, May Estimates

that probably three-quarters of a
million men will be obtained for the
Army by the registration on June s
of all youths who have attained 21
years of age since June last.
Fully a million youths, according
to General Crowder's estimate, will
be registered. At lease one-fourth
of them, he thinks. will be exempted

the sending of fully 100000 men.
The plans, fully worked out. with
the possibilities of failure guarded
against as well as may be, call for
the movement OF 250,000 men to
France and Britain.
At that rate Christmas will be
celebrated 'over there" by somc-
thing like 100000 of our fighters,
large number of whom will be
actually in the trenches with the
others in training camps. And each
man who goes will carry his full
personal equipment. the artillery

Delay in the launching of the ex-

is giving the allied troops concern as
they improve their position here and

/. HARD COAL.

From information received
from u. s. Fuel Administrator
at Bismarck, N. D., the city OF
Bottineau will receive more hard
coal in a very short time. Want
Of labor at docks and insult
ficient transportation facilities,
is the cause Of shortage at this
time. However, every hard coal
consumer should buy and use as
small an amount as possible, as
no coal dealer IN North Dakota
will receive the usual yearly
amount to dispose Of. Geo. B.

distinction between the German
government and the German
people; they were all alike cruel,
lustful, insolent, treacherous.
They should all be punished alike
McKellar of Tennessee said

Suffragists Arrested Again.
Fourteen suffragist enthusiast
members of the National Wo-
mans party, were locked up in
the office room of the capitol
building in the basement be-
meath the senate wing Of the
building, while the German
peace drive was being debated.
They were kept under lock and
key until the senate adjourned,
shortly after 6 o'clock, and then
were permitted to go. Their Of
tense has been a parade toward
the capitol building, with an
American flag at their head and
tri-colored suffrage banners fol-
lowing, and the announced plan
to enter the senate chamber, in
violation Of the rules, to make
speeches denouncing the "a SEN
ators who recently defeated the
passage of the suffrage resolu-
tion. They carried copies OF
speeches in behalf of "demo-
cr'acy" made by each Of the "a
men, and they proposed to burn
them in the senate chamber, at
a torch which one Of them car
ried.
Their attempt to reach the
senate called out the police force

zens who hoped to see pitched
battle.

'Z0k~ OOxxxlNEkAO,
your y, suppose, to some
extent; yo.- 1ught people to
whom you were opposed were
dangerous; you resorted to con-
temptible lies and forgery to
blast the good name Of an limo
cent man.
That's how all crimes which
darken the blackest pages in
history were committed; the
perpetrators made a truce with
their conscience with the thot
that they were acting in the
name Of God and their country.
They carried their convictions to
any length hanging or burning
at the stake.
Men Forget Honesty.
1T seems strange that the be-
ginning Of the twentieth century
when we are engaged in the most
heroic war in history, that men
will be forgetful Of teachings Of
right and honesty; because you
thought someone was doing
something dangerous, you re-
sorted to this hideous act.
s'I cannot think Of your crime
as a slight one. It is as bastard
ly a crime as has been brought
before this court in many a day.
The letter was cleverly written
to accomplish the ends you de-
sired; it could not have been the
work Of an impulsive moment ;
forgery is not a crime Of I'M
pulse.
"You are sentenced to serve
three years in the federal peni-
tentiary at Fort Leavenworth on
each of the four counts to which
you have pleaded guilty, the SEN

Doorkeeper in Congress.
The prisoner said he was AZ
years old and born in Canada.
He came to North Dakota 81
years ago. He served three
months as a doorkeeper in con-
gress at Washington in 1909 and
nine months on the same job
two years later.
McMaster admitted that he
had no personal antagonism
against his opponent, Mr.. Pat
terson, and stated that he had
only met him once or twice. He
said Mr.. Patterson was known
as a man Of sterling character
and integrity.
"a McMaster pleaded guilty to an
indictment drawn under the Sc
dition act, the four counts be-
ing:
1. Obstructing recruiting and
enlistment in United States ar
/ my and navy forces.
2. Using profane, scurr1lous
and abusive language about the
United States army and navy
forces.
8. Inciting, encouraging and
provoking resistance to the
United States and promoting the
cause of the enemy.
4. Inciting INSTRUMENTATION,
disloyalty, mutiny and refusal OF

Net at all. The reactionary pol
|iticians are now preaching coop
eration in q rather bold way be-
lc&use they see that big changes
are impending and they hope to
head off necessary government
ownership Of railroads, tele-
graphs and the basic natural re-
sources. 1t is the old trick of cap
turing a progressive movement
by coming part way. BY keeping
the political power in their own
hands they can hamstring any
cooperation in it's proper field
Indefinitely, and at the same
time can prevent the necessary
government ownership, which is
really nothing but cooperation

Senate Discusses Peace Terms
On Monday, October ID, while
President Wilson was preparing
his stern reply to the German
chancellor's announcement that
Germany accepted his terms of
peace, half a dozen Republican
senators made an apparently
concerted protest against any
dealings with Germany except a
demand for unconditional sur
render. Not only that, but they
suggested various changes in the
peace terms. When the Repub-
licans were through, some of the
Democrats made suggestions on
their own account.
| The bitterest of the bitter-end
speeches heard thus far in the
senate was delivered by Cum
minis of Iowa. He said he as
sumed that before peace could be
discussed, the German armies
would be removed from all for
eign soil. The question then
arose as to the treatment to be
dealt out to Germany. He de-
manded:
Germany must pay, pay to
the last farthing of her capacity
to pay, pay until the generations
vet to come will remember and
curse the insane ambition which
well nigh destroyed civilization
itself, and so she will repair in
some small measure the destruc-
tion she has wrought.
1--WE entered the war with our
eyes open to the consequences
which would follow as inexorably
as the passage Of time, for from
the moment of our entrance into
the struggle it was sure that
either the United States or Ger
many must die as a first class
power. My proposal is capital
punishment for a nation, and l
am keenly conscious that many
innocent German people will suf-
fer, but why shrink from the in
evitable?"
| Williams Urges No Vindictive-
70 all the impassioned discus
sion old John Sharp Williams Of
Mississippi added a corrective
humanitarian note:
Il agree with everything the
senator from Missouri has said,
except one thing" he began, re-
ferring to a previous bitter end
speaker. II do not want to see
a ruined Germany God knows
there is ruin enough in the world
now. I want to see a broken
German army; ! want to see a
ruined Plussiain and Austrian
autocracy; I want to see the fiat
Of the civilized world 60 forth
that the Hapsburgs and the Ho-
henzollerns have ceased to reign,
| I want to see the people Of Aus
tria Hungary and Of Germany
take the government Of their
land into their own hands; but
it would give my heart noegrat-
| ification to burn q single Ger
man village or to retaliate for
the death Of Belgian women BY
killing German women.

had joined the League in order
to perform a vitally necessary
service for the majority of the
people of the agricultural states.
After criticizing the Democrar
tic administration for permitting
huge profits to the meat pack
ers, the steel manufacturers and
other business groups, while it
forced the farmer to accept a re-
duction Of 80 cents per bushel in
the price of wheat, Senator Nc
Cumber made this declaration
"Mr. President,I cannot close
this argument in defense of our
population without replying to
and refuting the charge often
made against the farmers Of the
Northwest, and especially those
of my own state, who have
sought to redress their griev-
|ances by becoming members of
the Nonpartisan league, the
charge Of disloyalty to the coun-
try.
'Such a charge is worse than
a slahder, whether uttered in
political campaigns or through
the medium of the press. There
are no more patriotic people in
the United States than the far
mers of the Northwest.
Farmers Cause Just.
'.What we ought to do is to try
Ito ascertain what is at the bot.
tom of this movement and what
caused the movement. The rapid
development of this organiza-
ton ought to convince any
thoughtful man that there must
have been a condition of discon-
tent and dissatisfaction with the
present order of things, and we
should turn our attention to the
cause.
"All complaints of the farmers
can find their basis in this me-
glectful attitude, which is the
political theory of the Democra-
! tic party, and these complaints.
in my opinion, have not received
the full consideration that
should have been given by the
Republican party"
While stoutely asserting that
he was mot a socialist, "the SEN
ator said that "The day of small
independent business is rapidly
passing" and "Just as the
growth of commerce made nee
essary the great bank clearance
system Of the country, so, the
vastness and complexity of COM
merce in food products demands
today a cooperative system OF
marketing, not only to stabilize
the market for any product, but
also to asure a fair return for
/ the sale Of every food product "
He mentioned the great Califor-
MIA Fruit Growers association,
which handles almost the en-
tire orange crop Of that state, as
a model which should be adopted
for a nationwide food-market-
ing corporation.
