There was danger of overthrow

Lenine and Trotzky finally decided in
the face of the renewed advance into

of maintaining control lay in COM

Such peace treaty as may be signed,
according to the official view here
must depend for its vitality and le-

great war. Being made under abso-

M Thomas continued, that dele
cation of English and French social
lists should visit Washington if the
president would receive us, to explain
to him that his purposes in the war
are our purposes.
The American army is entering in
to action in France and its part will
be growing one. Nevertheless,
America has a greater role than that
of it's army. The spirit of the en-
tente allied peoples must be contin-
ually supported and refreshed by the
daily cons sciousness of the justice of
our aims. The minds of the people
must be filled with ideals.
president Wilson's part can be
much greater than the military action
of the American army. BY his inter
national diplomatic action in support
of his ideals-that is the supreme
part which America has-President
Wilson can become not only the lead
er of american democracy, but the
leader of a world democracy and I
can assure you his influence already
is very considerable with the peo
pies of Germany and Austria"

THE BUSINESS OF WAR

The fact is being driven home to
the people of this country that we
have reached stage of the war
when heroics and stage oratory
must be dropped and serious work
take their place. We have exhaust
ed our vocabulary and invented
other languages in our condemna-
ton of the Hun-which was prob
ably to be expected and necessary
in the working up of a general war
spirit. Now, however, the prelimi-
naries are over, and we are in the
very center of the conflict, whether
for good or i'll will depend entirely
on our future actions.
We must realize the seriousness
of the fact that a half million of
our boys are at this moment facing
the greatest engine of destruction
this world has ever seen. Other
thousands are daily departing to
share their labOrs and bare their
breasts to the same dangers. These
men have no false or exaggerated
notions of the glory awaiting them,
They are imbued with but one
thought-to remove from the world
great menace to human liberty.
10 this end they are willing, if need
be, to give their lives. Certainly
they are giving to the task the very
best of their manhood, 1t is a SER
ious business and they are going
about it in deadly earnest.
Are we who must remain at home
taking the same serious bushes )
view of the work before us Are
we devoting OUR lives to the end
that THEIR lives may be preserv-
ed, or, if sacrificed in the cause,
that the sacrifice may not be In
vain!
Just recently the country was
called upon for the first real sacri-
flee of the war-the conserving Of
fuel. 1t has been interesting to
note the spirit in which this order
was met. As is the case in all such
blanket orders, there were many
loopholes Of escape for those desir-
Gus of evading the order. BE it said
to the everlasting credit of our peo-
Pile, very few sought for these ex-
cuses. The rule was rather to
eheerfully comply if there was any
chance That the order reached them.
Our own boys must be kept up to
the highest point Of efficiency and
our allies must be fed, American
must dedicate their lives
and energies TO two objects-pro-
ducing and saving. The entire
question resolves itself into a pure
~ business proposition-that Of in
creasing our income TO the highest
possible figure, and then living wen
within that income that each may
have a surplus to lay on the altar

FLASHED UPON THE SCREEN


Joel Brown was a farmer of the
average sort When he had work to
do he did it and let other things
go. When he hadn't anything to do
he was inclined to look around for
the things he couldn't indulge in
during the busy season. And at
the best he was conservative. Hav-
ing no sons to go and himself be-
ing past the age of enlistment, he
hadn't given much attention to the
war.
This particular day he had deliv-
cred a load of wheat at the down
town elevator. He had stopped at
the store and made some purchases
for the wife. A visit to the harness
shop and word with Peters, the
druggist, and he was ready to go
home. Then he remembered that
Bess, the off mare, had thrown a
shoe, and he drove down to the
blacksmith shop. There the en-
crossing subject was the war.
Joel, Jr., was of the rising gen
Grafton. He wasn't content to hang
around the shop until the black
smith got down the list to Bess. He
was insistent that the go down to
the Nicklelodeon and see the pic
lures. Finally Joel, ST., consented.
Anyway, he argued to himself, he
hadn't seen a picture in months.
The films depicted war scenes
and incidents in both Italy and
France. Joel, Jr., was intensely ex-
cited. Joel, ST., more interested
than he would have cared to admit.
On the Isonzo front Italian artillery
men were doing prodigious feats in
transporting heavy guns over the
mountains. In war shattered Flan-
ders, where the invaders had been
driven back, French women, hitch
ed three abreast, were pulling the
plows in the fields. Everywhere it
was the same; very old men, wo-
men, and very young boys. And
the women we're doing the heavy
work!
Joel, Jr., suddenly leaned for
ward breathless. Into the light
three women plodded heavily, lean
ing against the traces. Cne glanc-
ed up, momentarily displaying part
of her face. "Dad," the boy gasp
ed, wasn't that MAJ LookW
Joel Brown stiffened and stared.
There was the same limp, the same
weary droop of shoulders, the same
patient driving ahead regardless.
His wife in replical Strangely
tense JOEL ST., was out in the
street before he realized it. And
very much moved. "Good Lord"
he muttered, and Little little Joel
grew big-eyed.
Next day Mrs. Joel Brown was
the proud possessor of a $500 Lib
erty Bond.

NO EXEMPTION
FOR The FARMER

One of the strongest arguments
advanced in defending the farmer
for not having bought Liberty
Bonds more heavily in the first
two drives is that he was doing
more for his country in investing
his money in the effort to increase
farm production than he could have
done by lending it to Uncle Sam.
1t is a good argument so far as
il goes. But it falls short.
For the farmer is not the only
producer who is helping his country
by speeding up his output. Every
manufacturer who contributes to
the vast array of supplies neces-
sary to the comfort, health and sue
cess of the army in the field, might
make the same claim. And if al
lowed what would become of the

Of the counties of the state where

bothered me. Why was that? Then
why did Lindberg carry New Ulm

down in that part of the state and we
know ordinarily there is nothing So
cialistic that appeals to those people.
They are very conservative. Why
then should they all vote for Lind

thing about it that I wasn't on to. I
know how those fellows down in New
Ulm feel about the wal and I figured
that if they one and all wanted Lind

state government that l didn't want
them there especially at this time. So

There is food for thought in the
ideas advanced by this farmer. Never
a word that all members of the league
are anti-American but just the simple
observation that known anti-Ameri-
cans L leaguers. The thought comes
to us that our readers ought to try the
