German "schrecklichkeit" It was not destroyed
it is true; but that was chiefly due to the efforts
of the American minister to Belgium Brand Whit
lock.
If not destroyed, it was defled by the beastly
Hun soldiers, who robbed, murdered and oppressed
it's citizens deported thousands of them took their
homes from them, ravished their women, and
committed all manner of vile crimes against them
It's public buildings were turned into German
barracks In the famous Palace of Justice, the
very court room where the highest court in Bel
GUM was wont to sit was turned into a dormitory
for German soldiers.

symbol Of the German occupation in Belgium
Soon, however, the historic old structure dear
to the hearts Of all Begians, will be restored to it's
original uses.
Could anything more fitting be imagined than
that the peace congress, the greatest tribunal for
melting our justice the world has ever known, hold
it's daily sessions in the very building which is the
symbol Of Germany's greatest shame and humlia-
ton?
There Americas delegates and those of her
allies can witness for themselves the wanton de-
struction perpetrated by the Hun vandals
Earlier opinion was that the peace congress
would meet at The Hague, capital of Holland and
seat of the futile attempts of last decade to Ear
range" permanent peace based on injustice and
oppression.
The Tribune is unable to see why Holland
should expect the peace conference to be held
within her borders. Hollands principal war con-
tribution has been to her own pockets.
There are various reasons why the capitals of
the greater allies are unavailable as locations for
the peace deiberations-too great home influence,
for one
And while there are many reasons for holding
the peace conference at Brussels we have not yet
heard of an argument for not holding it there.
Brussels is the place.

THE FLU EPIDEMIC.

The "tlu epidemic" the most distressing chapter
in Bismarcks history, may, we trust, be consid-
cred formally closed with Health Officer Strauss
order removing tomorrow morning the ban under
which the Capital City has rested for month.
Tomorrow morning, when religious services are
resumed in Bismarck, it would be fitting that
special prayer be offered in every church for those
who have passed from us, and for the bereaved
ones who remain to sorrow. At the same time
we should have in every house of worship tomor-
row prayers of thankfuness that Bismarcks por-
ton of woe was not greater, for, compared with
any other city in North Dakota the capital has
been especially favored. ..,~: l~'.~ a@
For this thanks are due our medical profession,
our city health officer and our general citizenship,
for all did the part assigned to them and did it
WELL And, most Of all must be remembered the
set-sacrifcing, heroic young women who without
reward of any kind-without even recognition in
many cases-volunteered their services as emer-
gency nurses and thus beyond doubt saved scores
OF lives which but for them would have been lost
Bismarck will ever look back upon this period
with regret for the fine young lives which were so
untimey snuffed out, but mixed with the regret
there must be happier memories of the unselfish-
ness and consecrated service renderd within their
means by veryone.

often as he may please with his
wearing apparel, his dog, cat and any
other property not transported for
sale, trade or commerce. This is
as true of bottle of liquor as of an
overcoat or a grip. Hence it is that
travelling men do commonly take in
their grips bottle of good preventa-
tive medicinefi and any person may
safely do the same. Any person may
safely take with him bottle of Ii
quor and cross the state line, back
and forth, one hundred times a day,
without mourning any penalty. But
it must not be taken for trade and
commerce. There you must draw the
line. You must always remember
that it is safe and proper to be good,
even on the Sabbath day. If you find
a person who has been bitten by a
rattle snake, and you can save his
life by giving him your bottle, you
have a perfect legal right to do it.
Such an act is legal and commenda-
BILE, but there must be no sale, trade
or barter. F.g
Where are we at? When the Good
Samaritan rustled around town and
procured a bottle for our weeping At
torney General, it was the proper
thing to- do. 1t was legal and COM
mendable. And of course QUE Attor-
ney General was dead wrong when
he assumed to act as Kaiser and to
.pronulgate orders denying others the
Fight to save their lives by obtaining
liquor medicine. His excuse must be
that he needed the dry vote and did
not dare to offend it. He was as the
steward who said:-What shall l do;
l cannot work; to beg l am ashamed.
There is nothing more deplorable and
ruinous than the fear of work and
: the mania for office holding and the
desire to act the part of a Kaiser
