NEITHER A NOR WAR.

The present situation appears to be that Germany
and Russia are at war with each other, but that Russia
will not fight. This leaves the Germans in the embarras-
sing position Of being at war without being able to find
an adversary. Under those circumstances Germany can
march armies into Russia. but the marching will do her
no good, for the mere occupation Of territory will avail
her nothing. There is also the possibility that Poland
may yet make trouble for the Teutons. After the oc-
cupation of Poland the Germans undertook the creation
of a fictitious Polish state. and caused an army of Poles
to be recruited and drilled for service with the Germans.
In the execution Of a peace treaty with Ukraine the
Germans sliced off a section of Polish territory and
handed it over to the new republic whose existence they
recognized. This disposition of their territory appears
to have displeased the Poles, and there have been re-
ports Of strong disaffection among tho Polish troops
who had been recruited for service with the kaiser. 1t
army the Germans have done the job too we'll.
The handling of the eastern European situation
also tends to complicate matters between Germany and
Austria. The Austrian empire is, racially a heterogen-
Gus collection. 1t is composed Of Slavs, Germans,
Czechs, Poles. Magyars. and a number of others who
are in many cases jealous of each other and antagcnistic
to each other. In the past both force and diplomacy
have been required to hold this discordant mass to-
gether. The adjustment of territorial boundaries and
spheres Of influence in the east touches on all these
racial tendencies, and no matter which way the Austrian
government turns, it finds a fresh complication. Hence,
while Germany is preparing for a new movement
against Russia and whatever force she may find there,
Austria serves warning that her troops are not to be
used in such movements except after a thorough under
standing and after definite authority has been received
from her government.

Letters From
Our Readers
Grand Forks, N. d.. Feb, 10.

l. Grand Forks, N. D.. Feb, 10.
To the Editor:
The following quotation appeared
on turning the date on my calendar
this morning and reminds me of the
very pleasant experience Of last night
at n Fathers and Sons meeting
which is an annual event Of the Y. M.
&c. A.
Don't stop when you have
won your first victory-It's
not a goal. it's only a step
forward" -'A- 10.
Having two son enlisted in the
service of our country it was my
privilege to have as my guests the two
young sons of a neighbor who was alb
sent from the city. Now these Boys
were strangers to me, 'andsI wondered
as l glanced about over the large and
we'll filled banquet nal how many of
the men present knew the sons of
their %neighbors whom they were IA
ther!ng under similar circumstances.
The thought has occurred to me,
|Ehy not promote a closer friendship
between men n boys in every COM
munity by encouraging in boys the
simple custom of a courteous greeting
on every occasion when they meet on
the street or elsewhere men whom
they know to be friends or acquaint-
ances of their father. and who very
likely do not recognize them but
would be very glad to know them.
This simple practice entered into
with a cooperative spirit between
men and boys alike WOULD do much
toward promoting a higher respect on
the part of boys for their elders, and a
closer bond of friendship on the part
Of men for the rising generation
which means SO much for the future
Welfare of nations.
II the Principle is Right, How Can 1t
Best Be PrOmOted?
Z Why not take advantage of the op.
portunity offered by the necessity OF
the government for all available re-
sources to correct the evils brought
ABOUT In the world, by a misconcep--
ing man.
3 This may be accomplished by a well
developed plan of Organization where.
by thrift stamps, and war saving GER
tfcate stamps nay be provided BY
popular contribution and offered TO
boys as premiums for the largest list
Of autographs of men who must know
the applicant by his fret name sur
iciently we'll to recognize him and
call him by name whenever they
chance to meet. and q never falling
opportunity on the part Of boys to
recognize and call by am all men
Of their acquaintance.
g Why not make this q reality under
the auspices of the COMMERCIAL tclup
and the Y. M. C. A. to the end that
men and boys united sssSandsss sfcrSt me

BQCHE AVIATOR
intrepid Youths Avenge
French Aviator-Started
! un in Trenches.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 19.-The
story Of how two American youths.
VIM. A. Wellman, aged 81 years and
cornoral Thomas Hitchcock, aged IL
of Long Island, N. Y, both members
of the La F'ayette escadrille, brought
down a German aviator who previous
ly had downed a French airman in an
attack over he trenches IN france,
was given by Wellman in a letter re-
ceiyed today by his parents here.
Wellman and Hitchcock, it was an
nounced, last week, have been deco
rated for bringing down three German
machines in six weeks.
In his letter, Wellman said that he
and a French aviator named Mot
went up after a German two seated
Il got to just 1000 meters" Well
man says, land the Boche dead ahead
coming toward me-, when | saw Mot
make his first and last attack. He
dived at the Boche biplane and one
of his wings snapped off. Imagine,
dad, he was just perhaps fifty yards
from me, and 1 saw the poor boy drop
into n spin and not come out of it
until he hit the ground.
We'll. by this time Tommy Hitch
cock, the other American with me
here, had arrived at the scene and to-
gether We tackled the Boche. First,
Tommy dived from above and COM
ing up underneath him and then
shooting when as near as possible,
then I, repeating the performance.
HE, (the Boche) was descending
all the time and finally at 1900 me-
ters his engine must have given out.
for his propeller stopped. The rest of
the way he had to volplane and be-
lieve me-, dad, we gave it to him in
great style.
T make a long story short, the
Boche smashed just between the
trenches and, as Tommy and 1 had
followed him down to the ground, we
started a lot of fun in the trenches
We were not touched, but the ma
chimes got it pretty badlY.n

THE USUAL METHODS

The The usual method was employed by the Townley
'wnlees at the meeting at Minot whose ostensible ob,ect
being the discussion of the United Stores scheme for the
IRE nrmation of the farmers of the neighborhood who
lguc.. wa"
interested. All the arrangements had been made
the meeting, but when Editor Milloy of the Messen-
lie ST. undertook to. present questions and arguments for
N7 1h purpose of bringing out the information desired,
ne stscdon was made Immediately, and it was demanded
'razie the proprietor Of the paper, Mr.. McGahan, con-
in AT that side of the discussion. Inasmuch as Mr.. Nc
ring an had just returned from a long absence, ana was
Mat all; familiar with the subject, and did not profess
the ee,5 the; absurdity Of this was so manifest that several
OF yeaers left the room when the Townley forces insisted
; is such an arrangement.
The practice of the Townley management is to dis
n Wait at the start all inquiry into any of the affairs Of
Townley management. It is next to impossible to
one Of their orators down in such a manner as to
e him to give a straight answer to a straight oues-
. Instead, the effort is made to place the ,oues;,oner
Gself on the defensive, and, in the alteration which
Pws, the original question drops out of sight alto
! H. ler. This sort of thing is a bit Of sharp practice in
1chs the Townley speakers appear to have been thor
rs hy trained. And, if ordinary methods do not serve,
ed wesis always left the familiar expedient of breaking
the meeting.

troun Various methods have been suggested for the defeat
ervouehes submarine. One of the latest is the employment
NE = device to make ships unsuitable" The method
was been rather widely heralded as a great discovery,
finent some excitable people have hastily concluded tina:
ssss in the submarine problem was solved.
roman Literally. there is no such thing as an unsuitable
perios. The thing most closely approaching it is a raft,
on, (Which the buoyancy is due to the fact that all the
nt ,,erial used in its construction is in itself lighter than
on wer, and the object has, therefore, a slight carrying
fa11iest9eacity due to this fact.
|r trial For practical purposes a type of construction has

pno othat this form of construction on a scale sufficient

with which the facilities ashore for the building

goals toward which. the real effort must be directed.

five kingfsh, and the total weight OF
all the catch amounted to 600 pounds.
Sounds unusual, but nevertheless 1t is
fact. 'Fishtorians' and other alleged
