tor has been the scene of numerous com.
ings and goings, and just few months
ago Italy was apparently at the mercy
Of Germans and Austrians.
After week of intensive fighting,
working, starving, amid an orgy of hu-
man slaughter, with the certain confu-
sion of orders and intelligence, all under
the most intense mental excitement,
human nature and endeavor reaches its
normal limits, the fighting must grow
less. and each of the contendlng armies
must rest and recuperate.
1t is too early to prophesy or even
guess possible results. To us it appears
that Germany is in the position of need
ing decisive victory, not. to say that
such victory is an absolute necessity
to her. On the other hand defeat for
the ententes would only prolong the war
Ii the Germans over-ran the whole of
France, then the rest of the fighting
would fall on the British navy and rem.
nant of the British army, supplemented
by the American military and naval
forces. The final results of this war
would be settled by supremacy on the
ocean. Personally, we believe even as
yet unprepared America alone is more
than match for an exhausted Germany.
Do you readers here in North Dakota,
six thousand miles away from the scenes
OF this great battle, realize and under
stand what its results may mean to us
right here in Pembina, in Fargo, in
Mayville, in each and every city, town or
hamlet in the state, IN every state of the
union. That is your personal battle be-
ing fought "over there. Two or three
hundred thousand men have been killed
or wounded this week to protect you,
your wives and children, from the bar
barities of the Hun, from the slavery of
an absolute autocracy.
For Gods sake. for your country's
sake, for the sake of your home, your
wives and your children, forget politics
for the time, forget these little home
troubles, and now. just now, as never
before, resolve to be an "American" with
all that name implies.

A LITTLE TOO MUCH.

Two things appear to be sapplng tha
strength of the Nonpartisan party. The
disloyalty of the leaders, which while
held in check sufficiently to keep most
of them out of Jail is self-evident. Then
the community store scheme is little
too much for most of the rank and file
to follow up. Mr.. Townley has evident
ly made two large errors in his manipu-
lations. In the loyalty business he has
himself discovered his earlier mistakes,
such as his own utterances and the blum
der of the LaF'ollette incident and now
talks loyalty with Nonpartisan flavor
ing, but the store business has gotten so
far that it is impossible to take that
back. For once he has Matched scheme
that even the wayfaring Nonpartisan
can see through it. Evidently Mr.. L.
thought the farmers of North Dakota
had no brains at all-but some of them
at least are beginning to think. It be-
gan with Sc, then went to So, then the
call was for SIG, and then made little
jump to 500, of which at least $50 was
to go where-the rest of the money has
gone. Maybe if Mr.. r. had made this
contribution S32, they would still have
stood for the annual doubling up, but to
jump it six times at one time is going it
a little too strong even for North Dakota
farmers.

A ~ MILE GUN.

1t is stated in the telegraphic dispat-

from distance Of seventy.two miles.
That there are shells Coming from

A NOTABLE GATHERING.

That was a notable and remarkable
gathering OF the pioneers of the north
ern end of the Red river valley that was
present in this city on Saturday to at
tend the funeral services of Hon. ]. La
Moure. The greetings among these who
labored together in the beginnings of
this state were hearty and the hand
clasps were warm. So many of these
visitors we're formerly among the active
participants in state politics that the
meetings at former state conventions
were brought strongly back to memory.
But their greetings we're modulated by
the fact that this was convention of
sorrow" and not only for him who had
been leader among them, and oyer
whose open grave they were shaking
hands, but it brought back to the mind
the fact that SO many more of the "old.
timers' had already fallen by the way
side and that these present but stand
waiting their turn.
But these grey-haired men, many of
whom are crippled by the intirmities of
age, who realize that their work is near
ly done, know that as they go away one
by one, that they leave something be-
hind them, for their children and their
children's children to cherish forever.
They care not if their own names are for
gotten so that North Dakota, the child
of their youth time, may keep its good
name forever.
So mote it be.

THE FUNERAL SERVICES
FOR HON. j. LaMOURE.

The funeral services of Hon. Judson
LaMoure. whose body was brought here
from Florida for interment on Monday
evening, occurred on Saturday afternoon
under the auspices of the Masonic soci..
ETY..
Quite number of old friends arrived
the evening before by train from the
south, and special train on Saturday
arriving about 12:45 brought a large
number from Grand Forks and from
stations along the route. Roads were a
little doubtful and the season rather
early, but still there we're large mum.

The floral tributes were many and OF
such profusion and beauty to quite pre-.

about dozen. large, set pieces sent by
friends and from societies besides large
quantity Of bouquets and loose blossoms.
The casker was OF steel and extraordi-

the discharge. The quantity OF explos-
i've and the awful heat caused by the
friction of the she'll through the long
barrel would together melt and disinte-
CRATE the metal of which the gun was
composed.
1t has been suggested that sort of
shell, which after passing for distance
through the air, fires another shell from
its interior, and this in turn fires another
and so on.
The difficulty with this theory is that
the recoil must be provided for. Any
gun shoots backward ps hard as it does
forward. For two reasons an outer
she'll to shoot from its own interior must
be strong and heavy; first, because any
light casing she'll would burst; second, a
light casing shell would not have suffici-
ent weight to propel the inner she'll to
any great distance. On the ground the
recoil of cannon is mostly taken up by
air cushions or springs OF some kind, In
the air this would be impossible, only
the weight of the firing shell would send
the inner she'll forward.
That is. the aerial self-propelling she'll
would have to he nothing less than a
"nest" of cannons, one within the other,
weighing accordingly, hence the original
gun on the land would still have to be
too large for possibility.
But the fact remains that the Ger.
mans are shooting shells from some-
whore and somehow at Paris. If they
have overcome the difficulties indicated
and many more that are implied by such
a long range, thed the Mr.. Hun has revo.
lutionized some laws of nature as we
have heretofore understood them.
