Council Of Defense Objects

There is a Reason.

Bismarck. N. D.. July 12.-Be po-
lite to pro-Germans.
That Is the latest order Of the
North Dakota council of defense.
According to a statement issued
from the Office of the state council
in Bismarck. it is declared CONTRARY
to the spirit Of the people" to apply
the term "pro-German" to any person
except in making a charge of such
character before the proper officials
or in aiding or conducting the prose-
cutton of such charges.
That certainly raises a most in
teresting question: said a capitol

owned papers have been especially
vigorous in denouncing patriotic

Here is the. statement that has been
issued setting forth the council of de-
Tense attitude toward ~pro-German-

1.-The state council Of defense

The state council Of defense based
its action on the ground that the in.

tended to stir up strife and bitterness
among them at time when the ma

Another provision Of the resolu-
ton adopted, declares that it is the
duty of all persons to report all sedi.

er authorities in order that they may
be prosecuted under the laws against
this class of disloyalty. The state
council Of defense declares further
that If the people will report all acts
and u~tterances of disloyalty, seditior
and rro-Germanism, there will be nc
reason for the application of the tern
to n one, and that the prevention
Of the expression will remove a pos

CHILD PATRIOTS

BY Harrison Rhodes OF the Vigilantes.
There is a great deal Of talk about
the need of teaching patriotism in h
schools. Germany, sc we. tell our
selves, learned this long ago as part
of preparedness for national action.
So now, though almost afraid that we
are learning n lesson too late we are
recognizing schools, wedding out
disloyal teachers and including in our
curriculum this great new study, love
of country, and there is a great deal
Of quoting of the proverb which says
that as the twig is bent SO is the tree
inclined.
No one doubts this proverb, but 1t
may sometimes seem a little discour-
aging that we must wait ten or twenty
years for trees and results. Forum
ately we need not wait that long for
results. Any one who has studied the
situation has already discovered with
surprise and delight that. the result is
here and now and that the effect upon
the prosecution Of the war Of school
children's eager patriotism is power
full and immediate.
What no one had reckoned with
vas the effect OF the child's beliefs
upon its parents and its home. We
have joked q great deal about the
modern child's bringing up its par
ents; we are low seeing 1t happen.

It is required that "a per cent Of all
wheat be ground into -four. In other

J MYSTERIOUS
STRANGER IN
WSHEK CASE
Wishek is Reported as Say
ing: I'VE Germans Must
Together Stick"

Bismarck, NJ D., July lz.--A y
terious stranger, introduced in the
examination for the government n
the trial Of John H. Wishek, Ashley
banker. charged with interfering with
the sale Of Liberty bonds, was appre-
hended outside the door Of the fed
eral court room this morning on
subpoenas issued for him by the de-
tense, which promises to prove that
he is an agent Of the department OF,
justice and not of'the German gov
eminent, as the prosecutions ques-
tioning, has tended to indicate.
The stranger, evidently a German.
but registered locally as Jones, spent
some time in Mcintosh county, avoW-
eddy soliciting funds to provide with

wishek's attitude toward the war.
District Attorney Hildreth first intro
duced the mysterious stranger this
morning, and his subpoenaeing by the
defense Immediately followed. The
defense announces that 1t will put
Mein Herr Jones on the stand In re-
buttal.
At noon today the prosecution had
not finished examining more than
half it's witnesses. The testimony is
much along the same line, dealing
with Wishek's alleged attitude toward
the war and Americas participation
therein.
A majority Of the witnesses are
German-Russians who speak no Eng
lish, necessitating the use Of an in
terpreter. Thorne, speaking through
an interpreter, told of the transfer
of certificates of deposit from the
First National bank to Wishek's
bank. Nesthke, another German
Russian apparently disappointed the
prosecution. which, charged the wit
ness with having changed the story
he told before the grand jury. Judge
Lauder, for the defense, objected to
!. this statement, and O heated argu-
ment ensued. He finally identified an
exhibit in question and testified that
Wishek had told him that W must
buy bonds to buy peace with h gov
ernment." He further alleged that
Wishek said: I'VE Germans must to.

BANKERS IN
CONVENTION
Total Membership is Now
s41, Largest irf History
os Association.

Mandan, N. D., July 12.-At the
session yesterday Of the North Dakota
Bankers association Secretary w. G.
Macfadden, Of Fargo, and Treasurer
w. F. Hanks, of Powers Lake, made
their annual reports.
Membership Growtha.
In his report Secretary Macfadden
pointed out that there are now 701
state banks, 1874 national banks, and
ia. The secretary indicated h value
that the association Is held to be to
the bankers of the state by pointing
out the fact that all OF these institu-
lions are members of the association,
except %, which makes the total
membership 841-the largest in the
history of the organization.
The above figures, says the report,
show a gain of only three banks dur
ing the past year, with a gain in mem
bership Of So.
Correspondence Courses.
The secretary also gave some atten-
ton in his report to the matter OF
correspondence. courses in banking.
Last year the association had some
100 bank employees enrolled for this
course which covered the following
Loans and Investments" CONNER
cial Law" and Negotiable Instru-
ments." The secretary states that the
war has depleted the ranks of these
students however and that only a
small class could be organized this
year.
Very Few Robberiee.
Some little mention is given to the
matter of bank robberies in which the
secretary states there have only been
two successful attempts and n un-
successful attempt at b~urglarizing
banking institutions in North Dakota
during the year.
To Aid Farmers.
A matter wherein the bankers
could be of much assistance to the
farmers was brought out in the re-
port when the secretary urged that
the bankers try and have every farm
er use a farm account book. Already
the association has put out some 49,
900 of these books. The secretary
says In addition to the necessity Of
keeping a record Of income and dis
bursements from which to make the
income tax statement now required,
the general adoption Of a systematic
record of earnings and expenses is
valuable to the farmer in pointing out
the money making and the money
losing branches of he business
