The Park River Herald has the fol,
lowing comment on the revolution II
Portugal:
Portugal does not bulk large
among the allied nations at war
with Germany; but she is none
too small to attract the attention
of the Teutonic propaganda. A
revolution, now reported to be
successful, has brought about a
new government at Lisbon and
at its head is the former Portu- =
guese minister at Berlin. Thus,
from the Nava to the Tagus, the
insidious trail OF the German
propaganda is spraddled over +
the map of Europe. The capitals
on the Thames and on the Po-
tOmac appear to be the only ones
where the Germans spy system
has not emerged into the open
with it's plans. How long Wash
ington and London will go I'M
scatbod is one of the enigmas Of
the war.

The New Rockford Transcript has
the following editorial paragraphs:
The Socialist mayor Of Milwau-
kee has been called upon by his
advisory board to declare his
loyalty to the United States. APP
parently in some Socialist gov
erned cities the advisory board is
not entirely camoufiage.
1t is too much to expect that
congress will carry the conserva- o
ton program to the point Of re-
ducing the mileage allowance of
members from 20 cents a mile to
something approximating1 the
actual passenger rate.
Mr.. McAdoo is likely to make
quite a success of running the
railroads if he is wise enough to
run them entirely different from
the way Postmaster General
Burleson runs his department.
No sacrifice is too great to win the
war, in the opinion Of The New Rock
ford State Center which comments
as follows:
Frightfulness, atrocity, wanton
cruelty, barbaric destruction,
characterize the remorseless pol
icy of the German government, it's
officials and soldiers. If you doubt
this, read the official statement of
German war practices issued by
the committee on public informa-
ton at Washington. d. G. Rapine,
massacre, fire-neither woman or
child safe! If there be any per-
son still left in this blessed re-
public who does not realize the
terrible institution OF German
might, against which the Ameri-
cans and their allies are now in
arms, let them read the report re- II
ferred to. No sacrifice is too
great in support of our own gov
ernment's attempts to protect our
own people and the world against
deeds and policies too dreadful to
be even printed.
The LaMoure Chronicle is not in
favor of changing the name of the
state capital, and says so as follows:
Even though il be court mar
tailed and shot at sunrise, The
Chronicle must confess to a lack
of enthusiasm in the proposal to
change the name Of North Dako-
ta's state capital. 1T seems the

United States of America is at
war with Germany, and that we
fully expect to whip her to a
standstill. But The Chronicle
contends that Bismarck" is a
perfectly good, substantial name;
that our people are accustomed to
1t; that no odtum justly attaches
to the state capital from the fact
that the city Of Bismarck was
named in honor of a fairly cele-
brated German statesman now
long time dead; that the sugges-
ton to have the name changed
was i'll considered, and possibly
inheres in a desire on the part OF
the movers to do something
dramatic" rather than in a laud-
b able and patriotic sentiment.
The Donnybrook Courier tells OF
the contest for the local mems knit
ting championship as follows:
The men in Donnybrook have
taken up the art Of knitting. So
far A. c. Heggen has been in I'M
disputed possession of the cham
pionship. He has knit several
socks, o. things that look like
socks. anyway he swears they
are socks. But he may have to
take a back seat soon because
j.. M. Thornton, Of the State
bank, has entered the race and is
making rapid strides toward the
head of the class. j. NJ. does
quite a bit of travelling and they
say he always takes his knitting
bag along so as to have some
thing with which to while away
the weary hours on the trains.
He claims 1t is a fine thing to
knit because it keeps a man from
getting mixed up in any expens-
i've card games and things of that
sort when he is out among
strangers. Some of his friends
say he is doing this so as to get a
chance to attend the ladies' knit
ting bees, but we believe that is q
fabrication pure and simple He
has offered to teach his partner,
Mr.. Finn to knit but Finn does
not view the proposition with any
great amount of enthusiasm. He
says the whole thing looks too
abstract to suit him and 1t does
not look like a creditable occupa-
ton for an Irishman to engage in,
so he thinks he will stick TO
figuring simple and compound in
terest for a while.
The Litchville Bulletin has two
