"Germania, a semi-weekly German Ian
guage newspaper published in Milwaukee
and widely circulated in Wisconsin, fol-
lows the example Of the Milwaukee Herold
and frankly confesses the error of its ways
this week.
1t retracts many Of its utterances since
the war began; says that "parrot-like, " it

in starting the war; and promises abso-
Lutte support Of the American govern

No newspaper and no Individual is en-

when it took courage, in certain parts of
America and even in few parts Of North
Dakota, to preach 100 per cent American.

We might indulge in some sentimental
ties over the return to the fold of the
prodigal Germania, but we prefer to save
our eulogies for the little country newspa-

office door on April 7, year ago, and de-

of them in this state and in other states,

QUENTIN ROOSEVELT.

Quentin Roosevelt did no more for his
country than hundreds and thousands of
other young men have done, but he did as
much as any.
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt have made
no greater sacrifice than thousands Of
other parents in humber walks Of life, but
their sacrifice has been as great as any.
The death of Quentin Roosevelt should
be singled out from all the other names in
the casualty list, only because it will ever
give the lie to the claim that this is erich
man s war and poor man s fight.
Probably no private citizen has greater
Roosevelt. AS former president and a
man Of much more than average wealth, he
might have sought BULLET proof" berths
for his sons and for himself. But he
didn't. He used every honorable means to
get into active service and failed. His four
sons did not hold back. They took the most
dangerous work available. One Of them
has been killed and two others have won
their war medals and been wounded. Nor
is the record Of the Roosevelt boys SO un-
usual as to be worthy of special mention.
It is not rich mans war nor a poor
mans war. It is the war Of every Ameri.
can. Quentin Roosevelt and Ole Olson and
John Smith are sharing the same dangers
and hardships.
Fighting against big odds for a cause
which he felt worth while, Quentin Roose4
welt met quick, clean death in the skies.
He "showed the stuff there was in him.
No man can do more.

MR.. L1NDBERGH's ACQUITTAD.

Charges Of disloyalty against G. A
Lindbergh were not based upon his arrest,
and the dismissal Of the case against him
has no bearing on those charges.
Mr.. Lindbergh's arrest was on charge
of holding forbidden meeting and the
recent decision Of the Minnesota supreme
court, makes it impossible to push that
charge effectively.
The charges made against Mr.. Lindbergh
during the recent campaign were based
wholly upon his book. His arrest did not
come until the close of the campaign.
League supporters undoubtedly will try
to make capital out Of the dismissal of the
cases and paint Mr.. Lindbergh as a mar
tyr, especially since there now appears to
be some prospect Of an "independent"
candidate for governor in Minnesota But
Mr.. Lindbergh was not prosecuted. His
own writings applied all the ammunition
needed, "God grant that mine enemy
should write book" was never better ex-
emplified.

RULE Or RUIN.

''What we can't run Wen wreck if we
can" is the motto Of the Nonpartisan
league leaders and the North Dakota
Press association is the latest target at
which they are aiming.
The leagues hirelings failed in an ef-
fort to inject politics into the association s
meeting at Grand Forks last week. They
sought to put through a league Estate"
and failed by vote of about two to one
The disgruntled one-third called meeting
following the adjournment of the conven-
ton, and organized the Peoples Press as
ISOLATION. Editors Of papers which oppose
the league were not invited to the latter
meeting, and most Of them did not know
Of the new organization until they read Of
it in league newspapers.
The incident is Of such trifling i'm
portance that it would not be worth COM
Inent if it did not illustrate the rule or
ruin policy Of the league. 1t is the Boil
shevik spirit-all or nothing. THE other
fellow" has no place in the league IS philos-
ophy Of life.

been no "senseless and purposeless" blood
shed.
Prince Dichnowsky's revelations proved
beyond any doubt who was the real aggres-
sor in the war. They showed that the war
was deliberately forced upon Serbia by
Austria s impossible ultimatum. If Aus
tria had been willing to stay her hand for
"a hours a compromise might have been
reached. Throughout the negotiations the
Allied diplomats begged and pleaded for
time for calm consideration, and for COM
promise But Germany was ready to strike
and in three or four terrible days the
greater part Of Europe was plunged into
war.
Now it is "senseless and purposeless
bloodshed'.
It was at the time, but it is so no longer
There is both sense and purpose in the
Allied cause, and before the conflict ends
both Austria and Germany are going to
learn just how ''senseless and purposeless"
war is.
