Next Saturday, Feb. 2, is Ground
Hog day. If the little fellow sees his
shadow in Wausau during the day this
city will see six weeks more of win

Marshfield or other places, he does
not see his shadow, then he will stay
out and enjoy the balmy air of spring.
Such is the old saying. Our confiden-
tial opinion is that we will continue
to have cold weather until next July.

PRACTICED ON
BELGIAN GIRLS

NielsvilIe, N. D., Jan. 4.-"Belglan
women are used for almost unmen-
tionable purposes. Each girl Is as
signed to two German soldiers. She
has to wash their clothes and do
anything for them they may wish.
IL the girl is pretty she is given to
an officer. After the English have
captured new trench systems they
have found these girls in the huts of
German officers; it is a system of
slavery more horrible than anything
the world has ever Witnessed writes
Richard Burns, North Dakota boy
now in France, in a letter to his
aunt, Mrs. S. Hays of Nielsyille.
Burns is serving with Company e,
18th American engineers, and he
states his command often has been
called upon to aid French and Bel
gian refugees. One little child came
into barracks for warmth. The tot,
only 6 years old, had a red scar
across its hand. 1t was a result, the
mother told Burns, of a German off,
GERS pulling the door shut on the
,aby's hand and leaving 1t strug-
Cling there in agony, while the Huns
carried off the little boys two older
sisters. The tot, small as he was,
had resisted this outrage with all
his puny strength. and the Huns had
the brutal revenge most dear to
them.

A Glorious Rascal

From Garry on by Lieut.. Con-
ingsby Dawson John Lane): I
know men out here who are the de-
pendable daredeVils of their brigades,
who in peace times were nuisances
and as soon as peace is declared will
become nuisances again. At the
moment they're fine, laughing at
death and smiling at the chance of
agony. There's a man ] know Of
who had a record sheet OF crimes.
When he was out OF action he was
always drunk and up for office. To
get rid Of him, they pat him into
the trench mortars. and within a
month he had won his ID. g. M. He
came out and went on a spree
this particular spree consisted in
stripping a Highland officer of his
kits on a moonlight night. For this
he was sentenced TO several months
in military prison, but asked to be
allowed to serve his sentence in the
trenches. He came out from his
punishment q kings sergeant
which means that whatever be did
nobody could degrade him He got
this for. lifting his trench mortar
over the parapet when all the
detachment were killed Carrying it
out into a shell hole, he held back
the Hun attack and saved the situa-
ton. He got drunk again and again
chose to be returned TO the trenches.
This time his head was blown off
while he was engaged III a special
feat OF galiantry.

WHEN WORDS ARE USED TO
CONCEAL.

So general in its wording is the re-
port of the commission headed by
Colonel House, on the work accom-
plished by the Paris inter-Allied
council, that it might signify very
little or very much.
For instance, Americans are told
that the council effected ''the forma-
ton of definite plan 4or more act
i've utilization of American naval
forces in conjunction with those of
nations engaged in the war against
the Central Powers"
That may mean merely that gen.
eraI scheme of cooperation has been
agreed upon, or it may be that a
definite naval offensive has been
mapped out Hitherto the naval
forces Of the Allies have been con-
tent to remain on the defensive, with
the exception of the Gallipoli affair.
From a military standpoint the
extent Of the military effort to be
aimed at by the United States was
fully determined"
That might mean that the United
States was to be counted on for half
a million men, or five million if
needed.
other sub-headings Of the report
deal with finances, shipping and di-
plomacy. In each Of them the word
ing is equally general and indefinite.
it is necessary for very
good reasons, that no definite infor-
nation of the plans formed at the
council, be disclosed. But at least
Colonel House has maintained his
for silence. His report is
silent to the extent Of two or three
columns. 1t is a masterpiece Of
words that convey no information. 1t
could be studied by the German gen.
eral staff with perfect confidence
that they would know just as much
when they finished as when they be-
gan. -
Some men gain a reputation for
reticence because they know Of
to say. Others are veritable
graves of important secrets. We can
only hope and trust that Colonel
reticence is Of the latter type
and not the former. and that the
council really accomplished the max
imum Of results that might be read
into the report, and not the mini
mum.

dreds Of thousands Of foreigners who
have settled in America during the
last few years viii return to their
old homes, attracted by the call of
their native land and the prospect of
high wages. and the possibility Of be-
coming owners of farms.
Which view is the correct one?
Probably both will be true in a meas
ure, and that measure will depend
upon the peace terms. For example,
il Asia Minor is wrested from the
Turks, and a free kingdom retained
in Arabia, there undoubtedly will be
a great movement of Greeks, Syrians
and Arabians back to their home
countries. They will be attracted by
the possibilities Of trade opening to
the Orient, and will count on the ex-
perience and the small capital they
have acquired in America to put
them in position to take advantage
Of it to the full.
Bohemians are talking Of a free
Bohemia; Poles Of a free Poland;
Jews of a republic in Palestine. If
they are established. these races may
be expected to leave America in large
numbers.
On the other hand, those who have
been through the terrible experiences
of this war, will be restless to seek
a new life in a new country. No
prospect of hardship will terrify
them after what they have been
through, and they will emigrate in
large numbers.
On top of this immigration move
ment, there is likely to be competi-
tion for foreign trade keener than
the world has ever seen. England,
France, Germany and America will
be seeking foreign trade, and busi-
ness men will be poking their noses
into every out-of- -the-way spot on the
globe. Then there will be the horde
Of tourists and curiosity seekers eager
to see the battlefields. The world is
likely to witness ain era OF travel such
as it has never seen before, the min
ute peace is declared.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The New York World: No single
stroke Of the Presidents war powers
has been received with such general
approval as that which brings under
the executive authority the entire
| railroad property Of the United
States. More mileage is involved
than can be found in all Europe,
more invested capital than with all
the belligerent nations Of Europe,
more tonnage of business to be done
than in all Europe, neutral and
belligerent. Yet from no class Of the
mighty interests thus concerned
come other than asserting voices
speaking often in the tones Of
enthusiasm.
These are great expectations and
they center for fulfllment upon the
governments director general Of
railroads, Mr.. McAdOo, who at the
same time is to continue the duties
of secretary of the treasury which
alone are vastly greater than have
ever been carried by any predeces-
sOr.
There arc immediate issues to be
determined. which are those of war.
There are remoter and dependent
issues of peace after the war which
are hardly less important. The old
system of regulation had confessedly
broken down for purposes of war
and it cannot be returned to without
radical amendment for the purposes
of peace. Under Mr.. McAdoo the
government must not only make up
for the deficiencies and losses result
ing from the inadequate regulative
policies of the past. 1t must also
show the way to more adequate and
comprehensive policies of railroad
control for the future.
The broad principles of action laid
down by the President in his
proclamation are uneXceptionable.
But the consequences are all depend
ent upon the administration of these
principles. 1t will make or break
the whole splendid conception and
groundwork of public action. 1t can
put the railroads on a footing of eff
cheney for the strains of war which
shall also establish better courses of
public policy for the permanent uses
of peace, or it can add the perplexi-
ties of a second failure in regulative
policy to those inherited from a first
failure.
Mr.. McAdoo is a practical railroad
man. He is Of proved judgment in
the selection OF men, and upon those
chosen to aid him he must largely de-
pend. His new responsibility is
tremendous, and nobody who wishes
we'll for the country can wish any
thing but success to Mr.. McAdoo in
this enormous undertaking.

pills the Importance of the thrift saw
ings stamps.
The campaign, obviously, will ac-
complish two great ends. One will
be the actual selling of the stamps,
and the other will be the teaching of
habits Of thrift. The child who takes
a thrift card to fill with stamps has
begun course in the most valuable
study the schools can teach-thrift.
Few Americans learn to save money
until they are we'll advanced in years.
Some of them never learn it.
The difference between spending a
few dollars more than ones income,
and spending a few dollars less, is
the difference between misery and
happiness; between a lifetime of
economic slavery and independence.
Fortunate indeed is the child who
learns that lesson in school, and does
not have to have it pounded in by ad-
versity in later life.
Congratulations to Mr.. Riley on
the new course he has added to the

NORWAY'S WORRIES ARE
STEADILY INCREASING
Government Warns Nation of Great
Food Shortage and Danger of
Being Drawn Into War.
fBv Associated Press.l

Christiania, Jan. 4.-With the be-
ginning of the new year the Nor
wegian newspapers are discussing
the foreign political situation in
general, and especially the problem
as to how an understanding with the
United States regarding food exports
to Norway can be reached. A sys-
tenn of strict rationing as regards
flour, bread, sugar and coffee was
put into effect today with the pros
pect that a lessened ration might be
necessary two months hence.
The government warned the ma
ton through the clergy at the New
Years services in an official procla-
nation that suffering and danger
were in store for it during the COM
ing year and called upon the people
to show resignation and practice
frugality, as the food supply was
poor while the chances Of Norway
being drawn. into the war were
greater than before. The newspapers
criticize the government for with
holding information as to whence
the danger threatens.

PoLYeAMY IN GERMANY.

That Germany openly is encourag-
ing poIygamy, there can be little
room for doubt.
For months past, dispatches have
hinted at a very low state of morals
in the German empire. but evidence
: of a more convincing character is at
hand.
Several American newspapers have
published special correspondence
from Zurich, Switzerland, telling of
the new Lateral marriages that are
being encouraged in Germany. The
correspondent tells Of pamphlets be-
ing distributed among the soldiers by
the Society for the Preservation Of
the Fatherland. The lateral mar
riages" are carefully defined in the
pamphlets. It is declared to be the
duty of all unmarried women who
reach a certain age to contract such
a relation with a married man. This
reservation is made to discourage
bachelorhood. The man must obtain
the written consent OF his wife to
such q union. The children Of such
union are regarded as legitimate,
having the same legal rights as chill
dren born in wedlock. They bear
the names of their mothers, and if
the mother is unable to provide for
them, they become wards of the
state.
That such a monstrous arrange
ment is countenanced hardly seems
believable, but a government that
turns the women of conquered terri
tory over to its soldiers to do with
as they will, cannot be expected to
have a very high spirit Of chivalry
toward its own women.

WOOL AND COTTON NEXT.

Now that the fixed price on wheat
is established, and the machinery is
working smoothly in the main, there
are two other classes Of land owners
deserving of attention from the gov
ernment.
Wool and cotton are just as neces-
sary to life, as wheat, but no attempt
yet has been made to curb the rising
prices of these commodities.
Northwestern farmers have accept
ed the wheat price with little COM
plant. 1t is up to the cotton grow
ers of the south and the wool grow
ers Of the west to accept a similar
fixed price for their commodities.
The present situation is a palpable
injustice that should be remedied at
the earliest possible moment, both in
the interest Of the consumer and the

CAPTAIN, BELIEVED DEAD,
HEARD FROM AT FRONT
John r. Brandt, Former Mayor Of
East Grand Forks, Sends
Christmas Gift.

Park River, N. D., Jan. 4.-F'rom
November, 1915, until last week
when Gustav Brandt opened his
Christmas mail, folks heard for the
first time in that interval from
John r. Brandt, former mayor of
East Grand Forks and a captain with
the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment
in the Spanish American war.
Captain Brandt became identified
with the 102nd battalion with head
quarters at Victoria, Il. c., in 1915,
and in May, 1915, left with the Can
adian expeditionary forces for the
battle front in France. Failure to
hear from him resulted in friends
and relatives addressing letters 10
the minister of war at Ottawa in
curing about him, assurances COM
ing that he had not been reported in
the casualty lists and that he must
still be with his battalion.
