MUZZLE HUM

One of Fargos Four Minute Men-and,
by the way, these local Four-Minute Men
need no apologies or excuses made for them
now that they have hit their stride-scor-
ed good point the other evening when
he suggested muzzling those who predict
the war will be over in a month any,
way"
No comment on the war could be more
vicious or more foolish.
True, the news of the last two weeks
has been wonderful. It points to the dis
Indignation of the Teuton alliance and
definitely ends all German hopes of vic
tory.
But Germany is far from being brought
to her knees yet. Look at the war man
and remember that we are still fighting
on French soil. Remember that Germany
still holds little strip of land north Of
the Aisne that she captured this year. Re-
member that a successful retreat to the
border will shorten the German lines by
more than 100 miles and give her the sad
ly needed reserves. Remember the win
ter, rapidly approaching, will greatly
hamper the Allied offensive, although it
is claimed in some circles the drive will
continue during the cold months. Re-
member Germany is fighting with her back
to the wall, is falling back to highly or
gained positions, with steadily shortening
fronts and supply lines,
Therefore the man who boasts that the
"war will be over in month" should be
muzzled either to protect him from being
judged by his own folly, or to protect
those who hear him from the most in
sidious form of o-Germanism.

ACTIVITY.

Health and strength come from
muscular activity. Unless muscles
are used regularly. the body becomes
loaded with maste material. This
causes the individual to become
headachy and tired and if the ac-
emulation is allowed to go un-
checked it deranges the vital organs
and may actually set up organic dis
ease.
The muscles have often been com
pared to the furnace of the body.
If one does not-use them, his food is
not burned as completely as it ought
to be. Regular exercise quickens
the flow of blood through the
muscles and keeps the waste ma
terial on the move. 1t stimulates
the action of the heart and lungs
and supplies the respiratory tract
with a more liberal allowance Of
oxygen.
When the body is freed Of the
waste matter the digestion improves
and the nervous system regains its
wonted vigor once more. The indi-
viduaI is no longer moody and irrit-
able, sleepless and depressed. AS
an illustration of muscular activity's
tonic action it is only necessary to
take a brisn walk when feeling
sleepy and stupid. One is certain to
come back feeling wide awake and
with a good appetite because the
exercise and the outdoor air have
accelerated the movement of the
blood through the body and created

DAMASCUS MEANS Turkey

ALI that was said in these columns few
evenings ago about the Importance of the
capture of Damascus, is still true, but the
capture came much sooner than was fore
seen then.
The capture Of Damascus indicates an
advance of about Is miles from Nazareth
in less than week.
The fall of Damascus will eliminate
Turkey from the war if the capture of So
fla doesn't. Even if Bulgaria had not
signed an armistice, and even if the Ger
mans keep route open to ConstantinopIe
for a time, Turkey cannot remain in the
struggle for any length of time with Da-
mascus gone. This is the very heart of the
whole Turkish Empire in Asia, politically,
industrially and from a religious stand
point.
Damascus is the nerve center of all the
railroads and trade routes. It is the sacred
city of the Mohammedans, second only to
Mecca. 1t is the gateway to all of Arabia,
Mesopotamia and Persia.
Between Damascus and Aleppo is moth
ing but a level plain, and British cavalry
should be in Aleppo in less than a week.
Aleppo is on the only railroad supplying
the Turkish armies in Mesopotamia.
Nothing has been heard from them for
weeks, but unless they have withdrawn
several hundred miles to defend Aleppo,
the same fate will overtake them that over
took the Turkish armies in Palestine. That
leaves the back door to Constantinople
wide open, with no defenders but the scat
tered Turkish forces operating in the Cas-
plan region.
Turkeys fate is sealed whether the Ger
mans are able to hold the Berlin to Con-
stantinople railroad little while longer or
not.

Germans Meeting
More Opposition
In The Ukraine
az Asaoctated Press.l

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Germans
are meeting with increased opposition
in their efforts to establish control in
Russia Swedish press reports re-
ceived at the state department today
from Stockholm said that in a recent
battle with the Ukrainians, the Ger
mans lost $500 men. German forces
which have been centralized at
Pskoff since the German ambassador
was forced to flee from Moscow, have
found their position untenable and
are leaving the city. They also are
evacuating Bielgerod, the reports said.
Food conditions in Petrograd are
growing continually worse and Ev-
ing conditions are utterly hopeless.
Cholera still is raging.
Why it flatters a woman to be told
that she looks like an actress is more
than mere man can understand.

NO TIME TO QUIT.

Slackening efforts on the Liberty loan
drive now, would be comparable to the
American army letting up after it had
driven through to the German border and
figuring that the Germans would retire
to Berlin anyway, of their own impetus.
The Liberty loan drive is within sight
of the goal, but it hasn't reached it yet,
and nothing but the hardest kind of work,
and the full performance of duty on the
part of everyone, will bring final and COM
plete success.
Fargo mustn't stop one dollar short Of
the mark. Oversubscription is not being

or admit to the rest of the state that the
biggest city in North Dakota shirked its

DOLLARS MUST "WORK OR FIGHT"

DOLLARS MUST "WORK OR FIGHT. I"
One of the amazing and comforting
features of selling Liberty Bonds, is the
manner in which SO per cent of the citi-
zens accept their allotments as they would
accept their duty under the draft law.
There is no law compelling them to buy
their allotments, except their own con-
science. Yet they look upon the bonds ex-
actly as they look upon the draft. They
feel that they must give good reasons for
exemption" or deferred classification
for their dollars. They feel that they must
either take their full share, or explain why,
on penalty of being classed as Stacker.
And the attitude is wholly right.
1t is selective draft of the money of the
United States. The dollars needed for
actual support of families, or the dollars
in necessary enterprises are given deferred
classification. But the dollars not engaged
in useful industry, and not actually sup
porting anyone must go and they are
"going" with very little protest on the
part Of their owners.

Then, too, there is Article 80 of the
code, which reads:
AS the law considers marriage in no
other way than that of civil contract.
1T sanctions all those marriages where
the parties at the time were willing to
contract and did contract according to
the forms and solemnities prescribed by
law"
But the contract was manifestly uni
lateral, since Article "a says:
Laws, or account of the difference
of sexes, have established between men
and women essential differences with
respect to civil, social and political
rights
Article 1882 continues:
"All persons have the capacity to
contract except those whose incapacity
is specially declared by law. These are
persons of insane mind, those who vare
lnterdicted and married women"
1T is of record that suit was tried
before a judge of the Civil District
Court where both plaintiff and defend
ant were women and all of the wit
nesses were women. The judge, at the
close OF the case, entered a judgment Of
