WASHINGTON. D. C.. Mar. 22.- By large majority the senate today adopted the resolution of Senator New asking the war department to state fully the reasons for its recent order prohibiting the publication of the names and addresses of the near. est relatives of American soldiers killed in France. Since the order was issued by the general staff there has been strong protest from all over the country, and the depart. ment is now asked to justify the action.
 At the time the order was issued, the general staff issued a statement saying that this information would be withheld from all publicity in order to prevent the enemy from learning the identity of the Ameri- can organizations at the front and to keep them from being able to form any accurate estimate of the strength of the American forces.

 So closely did the shells from the American guns fall, there were sec. tions of the trenches which were churned to bits, and the enemy evi. dently were unable to stand up un- der the terrific blast.
 Yesterday. Thursday. an American patrol investigated the positions that had been under fire and found them wiped out. The enemy had evacuat- ed their positions. Investigation showed that the American artillery took heavy toll of life from the de lenders.

WITH THE EDITORS
BLIGHT OF TOWNLEYISM HITS NORTH
DAKOTA FARMERS

l. The hard blow given to the rural credit of
North Dakota by the recent seed bonding act, put
through by the Noupart;san league party in the
North Dakota legislature, should open the eyes of
North Dakota farmers as to the dangerous leader
ship they are following, in trailing after such men
as President Townley.
There was not the slightest excuse for the
North Dakota legislators to go wrong in amending
the county seed bonding act, because there was al
ready law on the statute books that answered the
purpose and under which investment houses
bought such bonds. The only amendment neces-
sary to the old law was to make it apply to feed
for livestock as we'll as seed grain.
There was even less excuse to include the objec-
tlonable clause which made such county bonds
prior lien on the land, instead Of stopping with
first lien on the crop, the supreme court deci-
sion handed down nearly three years ago effec-
This decision is reprinted in the legal department
OF this ISSUE as it has special bearing on the stu
alton that now Qpnfronts North Dakota farmers
The action Of the St. Paul federal land bank in
withdrawing from the North Dakota loaning field,
when this law was enacted, was followed by most
investment banking houses, as the publicity given
to the adverse law had made the North Dakota
farm mortgages unstable among investors The
federal farm loan board has attempted to restore
some business for the federal land bank by agree
ing to make further loans provided the land bank
is protected against loss by means of surety bonds
TO De furnished by the borrowing farmer. The
matter will not be satisfactorily adjusted, how
ever, until the supreme court of North Dakota
has passed on the constitutionaty of the clause in
question. Unless it reverses itself, such court will
declare that section of the law invalid. The fed
eral land bank has taken legal action so that such
decision may be had.
Whether ignorance, carelessness, or an attempt
OF German intrigue to hinder food production in
North Dakota, o ra combinatio nof all three, was
responsible for this legislative blunder the danger
Of Townleyism is strikingly demonstrated Such
leadership stands discredited, when the farmers
face the loss of farm credit by such foolish legis
lation
Even correcting the mistake by court decision
or legislative repeal act will not entirely repair the
damage. The insurance companies and banking
houses will not be eager to take farm loans from
North Dakota while the constant menace of crazy
legislation hangs over the state. The only way
North Dakota can restore her credit to its former
high standing is through constructive and sound
legislative and administrative program. This is
work that calls for master minds endowed with
great executive ability and trained to handle big
business affairs, There are hundreds of such
men in scores Of industries in this country who

GROW WHEAT.
An Instance in Which Selfish
Interest and Patriotic (
Duty Are One

The Importance of growing, wheat
FROM the selfish, personal standpoint.
Of good business, as we'll as from the
broader and. more patriotic yiewpoin
of national necessity. cannot be too
strongly urged. North Dakota is dur
for a bumper wheat crop. Fer tn
first time in the history Of the farm
ing industry, the North Dakota whea
grower knows to a fraction of a cen
what" his crop will bring him an,
time within the next 15 months. Flo;
the first time in all Of his experience
in marketing he has assurance tina
whether North Dakota produces fit!
million bushels or geo million bushels
of wheat next fall, his No. northern
hard will bring certain price deliv
cred to his nearest elevator and tina
no power under the sun can beat thai
price down one penny.
The wheat farmer knows that he
win be patd on basis Of $2.20 at Chi.
cago, and $2.17 at Minneapolis for
No 1 northern spring, with premium
of four cents or thereab0uts for the
highest grade Of No. dark northern
spring. The price may 60 higher.
Those who are seeking to convince
congress that $3.50 is fair price for
wheat may succeed in their endeayor.
But in any event, the man who puts
in wheat knows he will not get less
than 1920 base price.
Such assurance Is held forth to the
grower OF no other food product. Beef
may 70 down; the bottom may fall
out Of pork, altho 1t is not at all
likely. That corn barley, rye and max
will not remain at their present high
price seems almost q foregone con
