Government Hospital opened.
Information was received today
that Dr.. C. j.. McGurren Of Devils
Lake has been appointed field director
Of the public health service during
the epidemic of>Spanish influenza and
pneumonia, and that he has estab-
lished an emergency government hos

patients who are unable to receive at

The hospital which has been es-
tabliehed in the Colonial hotel, can
care for about 40 patients and is al
most filed, but as some patients are
recovering from time to time, it is
thought there will be o enough
for many who are otherwise unable to
receive hospital treatment. The hos
pital will take care of patients from
my part of the state, provided. Of
course, that they are well enough to
undertake the journey to Devils Lake.
Outlook is Better.
When interviewed today over the
long distance telephone, DR.. McGur-

that conditions there were much bet

the report also said that the situation
at the university had been handled
very we'll considering the difficulties
existing.
1t was emphasized in the report
that the committee had been misin-
formed concerning new arrivals for
the vocational section of the S.. A. T.

The home service section OF the
American Red%SCross today sent out
a warning tofall young men receiving
a discharge from the army due to

have been brought to the attention

payments on insurance should be
kept up.

Reports from camp indicate that

enlisted men believe they are paying
for protection which they are not re-

gardless of the receipt of the insur-
ance certificate. provided proper ap-
%plication has been made and pre-
miums are being paid. The certifi-

VERSAILLES.

The Inter-Allied supreme war coun-
Gil is meeting this week at Versail-
les in conference that may deter
mine the fate Of Germany
The last time there was war coun-
Gil in the imperial place at Var
sailles it was Of an entirely different
nature 1t was held forty-six years
ago, and was then that King William
" proclaimed himself emperor Of
Germany, establishing dynasty that
is now represented by his grandson,
the present Kaiser Wilhelm.
The Germans had invaded France,
and even Paris had finally capitulated.
The arrogant Prussians staged a tru-
umph in the very presence of their
victims. Bismarck lived with the
kiBg at Versailles during all the days
OF the proceedings, until the German
empire was established and King
william had declared himself the
emperor "by divine right" This took
place in the same place where once
before Prussians had quartered them
selves, when Butcher and his rough
hbrsemen, after Waterloo, stabbed
themselves and despoiled the magnif-
icent trappingsof the palace.
But the tables are turned.In this
palace where the German empire

written before Mr.. Wilson had ever
taken any personal part in politics
whatsoever it will be appreciated
just what a remarkable reading OF
the future it was. Soon afterwards
the president of Princeton University
became Governor of New Jersey, and
then his path to the presidency was
plain.
If the time then cried for man like
Wilson, how much more is he required
today? Besides, it would be an en-
terprise manifestly fraught with dan
ger to remove Mr.. Wilson from the
presidency with the nation involved
in a war that has put upon him more
responsibility than any other single
Individual has had. For this reason,
the public is abiding its time, wait
ing the progress of the war and
knowing that if it continues nothing
can prevent the denomination of the
president for a third tenn.

WHAT WE FIGHT FOR

We are fighting for outraged won
en-!
We are fighting for crucifed nuns
We. are fighting for little children
with hands and arms missing!
We are fighting for the namelessly
mutilated soldiers!
We are fighting for Belgium out
ragged and desecrated!
We are fighting for France-tha
magnificent nation Of heroes-bleC
white defending civilization agains
the Power of the Beast!
We are fighting for England
which chose the path of honor, black
tinted with despair-when the little
nation she had sworn to defend was
set upon as by a wild beast!
We are fighting for Italy-whict
took up the cause of right against
the power of wrong-terrible though
she knew the cost must be!
We are fighting in defense of every
principle of human liberty!
This is, therefore, no fight of de-
mocracy against autocracy!
It is no battle of nation against ma
ton!
1t is no contest of man against man!
1t is titantic struggle between
right and wrong!
And we are going to fight, fight
fight, side by side with our fellows
in the cause of humanity until there
is no vestige left of the powers that
precipitated that cataclysm of blood
and tears!
There is only one sentiment in this
whole broad land today, and the man
or woman who does not recognize ii
must indeed be deaf, dumb and blind ;
and that sentiment is logged de-
termination deep down in the heart
of every one that we are going to
fight until We have justified Italy
saved England, swept immortal
France free of the Hun, liberated Bel
GUM, and avenged, so far as is with
in human power, the countless crimes
of Germany against civilization.

WAR AND RELIGIOUS UNITY.

A striking manifestation of the in
clination of the leaders of men to
forget all petty sectarian differences
and make common cause for good is
the UNITED War Work Campaign of
November II to 18, for which the Y.
M. C. A., the Y. w. C. A, the National
Catholic War Council of the K. of c.,
the Jewish Welfare Board, the War
Camp Community Service, the Ameri-
can Library Association and the Sal
walton Army are joining forces, The
times of peace may have left leisure
and room for zealots to be scrupulous
about lines of demarcation between
denominations. The fires of war have
burned away the fence-rails. The
landscape is cleared of many obstruc-
tions. Many things are plainly seen
in a clear, fresh sunlight which has
power to dispel even the acrid smoke
of battle.
In the "odium tbeolog cum" of the
days when the world was not fight
ing for its life, and hence men had
space to grow bittery eloquent over
doctrinal minutiae, there were fool
ish and needless battles among the
good. No wthe time has come for
the latter unitedly to make their good
ness valid against the serried forces
Of evil rampant in the world-against
the INDUSTRIOUS and menacing shape
of militarism and against degeneracy
and moral perversion masquerading
as culture. ....
The seven banded organizations
whom this coming campaign unites
will emerge from their corporate eff
fort as members one of another"
having reached basis of understand
ing which their future endeavor can
not ignore. They have realized the
strength of union, they have found
the real delight of communal sympa-
thetic action, they have successfully
tested the efficacy and economy Of
pooling their effort-and they will not
return to the old expensive variance
that wasted time and money engender-
ed friction. There is to be newly and
truly a United States in charity as in
politics. The common denominator
has been discovered once for always
War work is accomplishing what de-
cades of peace talk could not have
attained.

WHY THEY WANT AN ARMISTICE,

Even the water defenses of the Ger
mans are unable to check the allied
advance. 1t was supposed that when
they reached the linz OF the Scheldt
and the Mouse they would be in a
position to make a sitter resistance.
For one thing, they would be safe
from the tanks. Yet the British have
already enveloped Audenarde and are
closing on Journal and valenciennes,
the Belgians are nearing Client, and
the French apparently will soon be
within striking distance of Maubeuge.
Meanwhile the Americans have en-
gagged in some heavy fighting west Of
the Meuse, with the ultimate object
of pushing north to Meizieres and Sc
dan. About the best that the Ger

al to line from Antwerp to Brus-
sells and Mons, which they might hold
when winter suspended operations.
That is one reason why they are so
clamorus for an armistice. 1t would
save these from continued losses and
permit them to fall back to German
soil with their military strength COM
paratively unimpaired. But this is
precisely what the Allies are not will
ing they should do. The answer OF
Mashal Foch to any proposition for
an armistice may easily be imagined.

THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.

Usually, within year Of a presi-
dental election, there have been out
spoken candidates for the various
party nominations and more or less
polishing Of the armor of battle.
But it is remarkable now how little
is being said about the next election,
which will be held just year hence.
This in due entirely to the unpre-
cedented condition. which presents is
self-namely, the very probable NOM
ination of Woodrow Wilson for third
term.
1t is fact that will be generally con-
ceded that if the United States is still
at war next year, Mr.. wilson's nom
ination is assured and doubtless also
dis election. That fact is appreciated
throughout the country, and it natural
ly acts as a deterrent to those Demo
Gratis who otherwise wiuld obtrude
their own presidential aspirations on
the public.
1t has been truly said that the cir
cumstances wiz create the man
when strong man, one Of a partic-
ular type, is needed. Cromwell and
Napoleon, among many instances, il
lustrate this. And it has long since
appeared that woodrow Wilson was
peculiarly the man for the presidency
of the United States at this particular
time. And in this connection it is
interesting to know that long before
he ever held or was suggested direct
ly for any political Office, it was pre-
dicted of him that he might some day
become president. This prophecy
came from the pen of his brother-in-
law, Prof Stockton Arson, who, in
an introduction to some of Mr. Will
sons writings, in 1908, said:
"One of the most notable traits
of Woodrow Wilson has been
power to grow nd never cease
growing. When he was an under
graduate he wrote his father that
he had discovered he possessed a
mind. From this ingenious state
ment to the present hour that
mind and is concomitants charac-
ter and power, have developed
steadily, with the result that he
has been prepared for each new
responsibility as it arose. All over
the country thoughtful men are
saying that he must some day be
the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency of the United States.
He has never sought Office, and Of
fee may never seek him; but it
is an interesting evidence of the
impression Of power that this man
makes, that so many who hear
him speak on public affairs should
reach the conclusion that this pri-
vate citizen is, by nature and de-
velopment, one of the fttest men in?
the country to fill one of the cOun-
try's most responsible Offices"
