California farmers are in grave
danger OF losing this seasons crops
due 10 the serious labor shortage,
much of the difficulty of which rests
with California saloons The Califor
MIA farm labor situation is getting
into such state of utter demoraliza-
ton, states an item in the Sacramento
Union, that there would seem to be
no hope for permanent relief unless
every saloon in the state is closed,
The federal government, through
the employment bureau, offers some
relief TO California in assisting the
golden gate state in locating farm
laborcrs. but after the labor is i'm
ported into the state the difficulty
assumes uncomfortable proportions
through the saloons, which democrat
ice the labor OF communities. While
the government proposes to assist
California, the same as every state
with its la Dor problem. by aiding ia
the necessary supply. the farmers
now make an unqualified demand that
the state government cooperate with
the federal government and the farm
ers them selves to the extent of clos
ing the saloons for the protection OF
the moral standard of the labor i'm
ported. The situation is distinctly
threatening in the beet and rice pro-

ENGLAND APPROVES Of
LLOYD GEORGE talk
LONDON PRESS COMMENDS THE
PREMIER FOR HIS STAND RE-
GARDING WAR AIMS

London, Jan. IF the country's
opinion, as is probable in the pres.
ent case, can be Judged by expires.
sions in The London Press, it may
be said that never before has Prem.
ier Lloyd George won such universal
approval as is given to his statement
of Saturday concerning Great Brit
aims war aims. It is recognized that
there will be divergence of opinion
ON details like the economical terms
of settlement and disposition of Ger
many's African colonies but in all
essentials his statement is hailed as
eminently satisfactory and the prem
ier is declared to have performed a
most important service to the coun-
try.
All interest now is focused on the
question as to how the statement will
be received in Germany, Austria
Hungary and not the least, in Rus
sia, but as yet there is nothing to
satisfy this anxious curiosity.
With the exception only of the
bellicose Morning Post, which how
ever, is not opposed to the premier's
thesis, the morning newspapers of
London join in chorus of approval.
The Times declares it is the most
important state document since the
declaration of war; 1t commends the
moderation of the statement, which,
however, it thinks may disconcert
some tried friends and allies and
even lend itself to the enemy mis-
representation.
Will Never Get Better Terms
The Daily Mail says that nothing
could be more simple or more demo-
cratic than the statement, and the
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1918-01-10

whole British people are solid behind
it. The Germans, it declares, will
never get better terms.
Premier Lloyd Georges assertion
that he was not speaking for the gov
ernment, but the nation and the en-
pire, The Daily Telegraph thinks, will
remove load of anxiety from many
troubled minds. 1t says that all the
primary essentials for peace terms
are included in the statement, which,
however, it anticipates, will draw a
cry of incredulous rage from Ger
many.
The Daily News describes the
statement as landmark in the war,
"bringing US and, we take it, our
allies generally, into line with the
policy President Wilson constantly
has formulated"
The Daily Express says the pre-
mier has spoken the entire mind of
the entente. Germany, it adds, finds
herself taken seriously and it is the
supreme test of her sincerity.
The view of The Morning Post is
that victory is the only war ain,
worth considering and if British gov
ernments had conducted the war from,
the beginning on that principle vic
tory would have been won long ago.
It approves of the premier's state
ment by implication in saying that it
assumes that the speech means the
country will 60 on to victory despite
all sacrifices.

WHY WE ARE FIGHTING

If you don't know why we are
fighting,
Let the seas out there explain.
There's place in the Atlantic
That will never lose its stain;
And a liner on the bottom
With great hole in its gut
Where the eels are mounting babies
bones.
And nameless horrors glut.
If YOU want to know why we are
fighting,
France will point you to the west,
Where the bayonets Of Germany
Are ha cking at her breast;
Where a thousand lovely villages
Are marked with blood and flame,
And the gentlest of her lassies,
Soiled and broken, walk in shame.
If YOU want to know why we are
fighting,
Belgium has tale to tell,
How the Kaiser's "cultured" legions
Came to do the work Of hell.
Let her hordes of homeless starvel-
ings,
Let maltreated children show;
Look upon her desolation,
Ask her wonderland you'll
know.
