LIBERTY LOAN
ORGANIZATION TO
BE PERFECT ALL
DOWN The LINE
Chairman Mcdowell Says
Prominent Speakers To
Be Brought Here
EVERY MAN TO
KNOW HIS WORK
People Haven't Begun To
Make Sacrifices Yet,
Says Chairman

Wesley C. Mcdowell, chairman Of
the North Dakota Liberty Loan COM
mittee, on his return from Mime
apolis where he conferred with A. r..
Rogers, director OF the loan cam
paign in the Ninth district, and with
the state ChaiTmen of the other
states included in the district, de-
clared that the coming loan cam
paiEn, the dates for which have not
been fixed as yet, will be the most
thorough Of any yet conducted.
when the time comes, said Mr..
Mcdowell, TO a representative of The
Forum while he was here Monday
en- route to his home at Marion, I'VE
will have our organization complete
right down to the townships, and
when the drive is begun, every man
who is a part Of the organization will
know just what is expected Of him.
Organization the Keynote.
Organization is the keynote Of the
work now being done, and it will be
thorough to the last detail. Several
changes have been made In the list
Of county chairmen, to facilitate the
work, as several Of those originally
selected are at present absent from
the state.
The speaking campaign will be
one Of the most striking features Of
the bond sale, said Mr.. Mcdowell.
We now have about 40 North Da-
kota men listed up for the speaking
drive, and we also expect to bring a
number Of prominent outside speak
ers. A member of the cabinet, Elihu
Root or Charles Hughes, probably
will be brought to North Dakota, and
special trains will carry the speakers
across the state on the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern lines.
Must Sacrifice.
The thing we want to impress up
on the people is that they have not
yet begun to make sacrifices for the
carrying on Of the war. There isn't
a single man in North Dakota today
who has really made a material
sacrifice to buy a Liberty bond.
We must impress upon the peO-
pie the fact that this war must be
won, and now we are in danger Of
losing it through apathy. We have
got to get into this hght, each and
every one OF us. There can be no
half way business about it,.
Mr.. Mcdowell Is confident that the
North Dakota apportionment in the
next Liberty loan will be in accord
with the states ability to handle II.
Realize Conditions.
The loan officials, right up to
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo,
are fully aware Of the conditions in
North Dakota at this time, and OF
the great amount of money that it
requires to carry on our farming
operations. Also, the conditions I'm
the western section Of the state are
quite thoroughly understood.
The size Of the loan has not yet
been announced, nor the time of is
sue. However, when the apportion-
ment is made to this state. it will be
up to the eastern part Of North Da-
kota to carry the greatest share OF
the burden, and feel sure that the
people Of that section will do so. At
the same time the western sections
will be called upon, and 1t is really
remarkable the manner in which they
are already responding"

HUTCHINSON HEADS
FARGO COMMONS CLUB

F. v. Hutchinson was elected presi-
dent Of the Commons club to succeed
H. w. Gearey, resigned, at the meet
ing held Monday evening in the
Gardner hotel. Speakers were Judge
Charles F. Amidon and DR.. Wallace
N. Stearns.
Judge Amidon declared that the
Russian revolution in its funda-
mental motives is economic rather
than political. He said he was sur
prised to read the statement credit
ed to Trotzky that President Wilson
is the greatest hypocrite of history"
He said he had tried to arrive at an
explanation OF the mans point Of
view.
"Trotzky's idea" said Judge
Amidon, appeared to be that while
President Wilson is the great
exponent and leader of a great politi-
cal democracy, that a democracy has
permitted to grow up a condition
where go per cent and more Of the
property is owned by two per cent
Of the people and where economic
power is steadily being more and
more concentrated in the hands OF a
few great corporations"

premier, has issued an edict forbid
ding war prisoners and refugees
from entering starving Petrograd' ,,
