MIR. PACRARD'g BLuNDER.,

The attempt OF the people of the state to
amend Section 1S2 of Article II Of the consti-
tuition, has lead to a campaign Of misrepres-
entatou on the part OF the opponents of the
Nonpartisan league seldom equaled in this or
any other state. Section 1s2 provides that the
cess of $200,000. The pending amendment
fixes the debt limit at $1,000 900 Of unsecured
@ debt but provides that $S,000,000 more may
be incurred upon real estate MORTGAGES and
the real and personal property OF state owned
utilities enterprises and industries, the
amount OF the bond never in any case. to ex-
coed so per cent Of the value Of the property
pledged
The foregoing statement by Frank E.
Packard, chairman of the state tax commits
sion, made IN letter to the morning So
cialist daily, is untrue, and Mr.. Packard
either knows it is untrue or should
know IL. It is inexcusable that man in
his position should be so misinformed on
the proposed amendments
Since Mr.. Packard appears to have been
chosen as spokesman for the amendments, it
might be well for him to inform himself of
the fact that the limit on the bonded debt is
removed by the amendments. This is adj
mitted now, even by Mr. Townley's own
private newspaper organs, like the local So
cialist daily, which is devoting all It's
energies now to justifying the "no limit -
plan. ....

WHAT Is HAPPENTNe rN BALKANs7

From the meagre dispatches that have
come out Of the Balkans since the surrender
of Bulgaria, this much is known: Serbian
troops are moving north Of Nish and the
Allied fleets have taken the seaport of
Durazzo on the Adriatic.
At Nish, the Scrbians are north of Sofia,
the capital Of Bulgaria, and are a stride the
Berlin to Constantinople railroad they are
scant fifty miles from the Danube to the
northeast, and across the Danube is Ru-
mania. They are about, rs miles from Aus
tria-Hungary directly to the north.
At the rate the Serbs seem to be able to
progress, distance Of rs miles can be COW
cred in week or less. .....
Meanwhile little or nothing Is heard from
the French, British and Greek troops that
invaded the southern part of Bulgaria.
Since they took Strumnitza, nothing has
been told of their movements Are they
moving north to Sofia? Are they pushing
east to Philippopolis on the road to Con-
stantihople, or have they begun the prom
ised invasion of Turkey through eastern
Macedonia?
If they had kept pace with the Serbs in
the march north, the other Allies would
now be almost at the Rumanian border and
all Of Bulgaria would be in their hands.
Failure to do that would not be because of
opposition by Bulgar or German troops, but
because more important plans arc TO be
worked out Some interesting dispatches
are due from the Balkans.

FACING AN EMERGENCY.

Right here in Fargo men, women and
children are suffering and even dying for
lack Of adequate care and nursing.
It is an unpleasant truth that must be
faced.
The war; the terrible tragedy in North
eastern Minnesota, and the nationwide in
fuenza epidemic have combined to create
a demand for nurses far beyond the supply.
Nurses and doctors themselves are fighting
off the disease to remain on duty.
The emergency leaves the average man
or woman unframed In medicine or nursing
with a feeling of utter impotency. But
there is some work that can be done by the
unsxiIled, and it is our duty to take over
these tasks and leave every possible skilled
worker for the serious work to be done.
Some very prompt and very radical steps
may be necessary within the next few hours
if conditions do not mend IL trained nurses
are not available-and they do not seem to
be-the best possible substitute must be
provided. The Forum can see where band
Of volunteer nurses might be organized for
emergencies, given a few hours specialized
4ASbf uCbEOh dIAA uIlu al ChIlHB LUZ IuIluSuad
patients, paid regular wage from a fund
to be raised for the purpose, and dispatched
to care for all pressing cases. Those WHO
are able to pay for such service might re-
fund the wages of the nurse to the organiza-
tion, and those nurses who are able TO
donate their services might turn over their
wages to the Red Cross
Haphazard volunteer work won't meet
the situation much longer. Loyal, unselfsh
women are giving what time they can spare
from pressing household duties to the
work, but it isn't job that will wait or
that can be handled at odd moments. - It
is very serious, very vital task, and some
prompt organization work is necessary.
It would seem that the Red Cross would
be the logical organization to step into the
field and undertake the organization work
on a big scale. If it is necessary to open a re-
cr1iting station for nurses, to swear them
in for two or three weeks service, and pro-
vide uniform or badge of honor, it should
be done.
If it is necessary to organize the city by
districts, with captains and lieutenarts for
various divisions and subdivisions to care
for all cases in their neighborhoods, it
should be done.
The intelligent men and women in Fargo
mustn't bungle or neglect this job. The
emergency must be met, must be adequate
" met, and must be met Immediately.

Who's Who In The Days News

Enver Pasha, Turkish minister, has re-
Gently been overthrown in Constantinople. He
has been for years the most commanding figure
in Turkey. There have been contradictory
statements to his nationality, and sometimes
he has been called a Pole, but the fact seems to
be that his father was a Pole while his mother
was a Turk. He is about thirty seven
years old. He looks younger than his age, says
one writer gifted with that touch of springtime
which is very young mother bestows upon her
