In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep
ing Up With North Dakota Editors

The Mandan Pioneer discusses the Fontan
case as follows
The majority Of the members of the Ger
man Evangelical church at New Salem ap-
parently look upon the conviction Of Rev. J.
F'ontana in federal court as persecution and
not prosecution. They seemingly look upon
his crime not as crime, but as a service
that he rendered his Hun masters.
New Salem has many loyal citizens, but at
present they are oVershadowed by just such
incidents as the church majority extending
a vote Of confidence in Fontana and thus
helping to make of New Salem one Of the
blacklist spots in North Dakota.

REIGN or TERROR ECLTPsED.

Isl For more than a century, the French
Revolution and the Reign of Terror which
Followed it, have been considered the last
word in brutality; the extreme limit to
which human oppression and terrorism
could reach.
But the French Reign Of Terror was a
H1nere sideshow compared to the conditions
(which have existed in Russia for months.
Statisticians have estimated that the to-
Efal number Of executions in France during
Ethe Reign Of Terror was about 2,700.

of Bolshevik rulers.
In their crazed efforts to continue a

Terrorism, the Bolshevik leaders have
slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent

The E1anklnSon news sees the political Sltua
ton in North Dakota this year. in the following
light;
In a large measure partp lines have been
wiped out in North Dakota for the approach
ing state campaign The issue is squarely
that of Townleyism. Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike who believe in the doctrines of
socialism advocated by Townley and his can
didates will be found supporting the men
named at the primary election in June. The
Republican organization is simply a con-
dates on the ticket-and by the same token
organization in Idaho Again in Minnesota,
defeated at the Republican primaries, Town
ley is putting an independent candidate for
governor in the field, hoping to capture the
labor vote and certain element Of dis
gruntled voters from both the Democrats
and Republicans.
Hundreds Of Republicans In North Dakota
will support Doyle for governor this fail
without surrendering one atom OF their
party loyalty. They feel that the party in
this state controlled by leaders Of the Nom
partisan league, no longer represent real
Republicanisnn, but rather the principles of
socialism AS a matter of fact there are only
two POLITICAL groups in the state today, as
The, News views it, and they are the Social
lists and the anti Socialists. Those who fear
the menace Of state socialism will support
Doyle for governor the other elements
either frankly socalistic or deluded by the
sophigtries of those who play on the weak
side OF human nature that feels itself mis-
used under any and ali circumstances, win
support FRAZIER. There is no test of party
strength this year.

Germany Is Required to Sur
render Her Entire Fleet
of Submarines.
IS ARTICLES ALTERED
,Frenoh Commander Made Amend
msnts 70 the Terms Of Armi-
stiee Before Signed BY
the Delegates.

-. Washington, Nov. IS. - Under tho
armistice terms as amended by Mar.
shall FooA before he signed them with
the German ENJOYS Monday morning,
Germany loses her entire feet of sub.
marines.
Instead of 100 vessels, every one oil
the undersea pirate craft must be sur
rendered to the Allies and the United
States within II days.
Changed by Fooh.
Eighteen of the articles as originally
prepared by the Supreme War council
and as read by President Wilson to
Congress were changed under the linn
lited authority for alteration given the
supreme commander in dealing with
the enemy enjoys.
The State department received and
made public the amended articles,
with the explanation that no informa.
ton had come as to how the changes
were brought about.
Apparently most Of them were con.
coded in response to appeals of the
German spokesman, though several be.
sides that touching submarines make
the terms more drastic than before.
Demand Of Cars TripIed.
Instead of $4,000 railroad cars to be
surrendered in evacuated territory,
the number is made 100000. On the
other hand, the number of machine
guns to be delivered by the Germans
is reduced from 10000 to $4,000. The
German troops in East Africa are per-
mitted to evaouate instead of being
required to surrender.
Provision is made for considering
food needs in Germany in the taking
of means of transportation, and a spe.
citlc reference to the regulation OF
repatriation of German prisoners of
war at the conclusion of peace is
added.
In response to the German fear of
anarchy in occupied Russian provinces
after evacuation, the time of evacu.
alton is changed from Immediately to
"as soon as the Allies, taking into
account the internal situation of these
territories, shall decide that the time
for this has come" Territories which
belonged to Austria-Hungary before
the war are added to those which must
be evacuated.
Armistlc Commission Provided.
Another added clause provides for
an armistice commission, to which
Germans will be admitted, to carry
out details under the direction OF the
victorious military authorities and in
accord with appended notes, which
were drafted during the conference
between Marshal Foch and the Ger.
man delegates.

LOST SCULPTURE OF REIMS
Works Of Art Of Unfortunate City That

-Four years ago the sculpture of
Reims was one of the three great, orig.

Ing Charities and Amiens. How they
escaped, heaven knows, but they did.
Saint Denis, Senlis and Laon, equal in
beauty and in quality, fell easy prey
to one set Of sOdden savages or an
other until only few precious frag-
ments are left, mutilated almost be-
yond recognition. Paris has been
further degraded by barbarous restora-
ton, and therefore Charities remains

school of the twelfth century, Amiens

Amiens, since it was less cleverly nat
