A. D. Stephens, Of Crookston, has
filed as candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor in opposition to Thomas Frank
son, the present incumbent. According
to the Crookston Times the friends Of
Gov. Burnquist have gotten Mr.
Stephens to run so as to secure a man
to their liking as Gov. Burnquist's
running mate. But Mr.. Frankson is
also strong and capable man and how
his, friends will regard this move is
another story.

NOT A MAN LOOKED UP

In one Of the thousands of letters
from the front that have been pub
hshed in the daily press during the
past few weeks was this passage:
"Sn Douglas Haig reviewed our
regiment yesterday. During the cere-
monies British aviator few over the
field. He passed directly over our
men, at one time flying so low he was
within twenty-five feet OF the bayo-
nets.
Not a man looked up!
Marshal Haig thought this was the
finest thing in the whole ceremony.
He turned to the commanding general
and said, 7 didn't believe il possible
that you could have developed an
army so highly trained in so short a
timer"
So that the record may be quite
clear, let all the facts be known about
that particular regiment. 1t is not one
of the recently created regiments that
composed the group of divisions orig
inslly designated as the National
Army. 1t is a regiment Of the old
National Guard and its basis was a
very famous unit. A wealth OF tradi-
ton inspired the soldiers of that com
mand.
Some of the new regiments have no
traditions--but they arc equally IN

BACK TO METZ

Germany defeated Austria in seven
weeks and had France at her feet in
as many months. That was only fifty
years ago.
Such was the sudden debut OF Ger
man miiitarism. Germany as a nation
had just come into birth. Its success
YVES spectacular and immediate and
had profound effect on the history
Of the world.
Germany took as a reward for her
victory over France the two provinces
Of Alsace- Lorraine and one billion
dollars indemnity. Bismarck did not
want to take all of these provinces,
but the German General STAFF was in
sistent that Metz, the great fortress
that has never been captured by any
army until it was taken by the Ger
mans in the Franco-Prussian War,
should be on German soil,
1t is possible to trace the present
war, which has taken us from our
homes and peaceful pursuits ard put
so many of US into a uniform and car
rled us far across the seat is pos
slble to trace this great war back to
German greediness regarding Metz
France was stu1g to the quick by
her defeat at the hands of the Ger
mans in 1871, a defeat due largely to
the instability of her governments
(she had a so-called empire at the be-
ginning and sort of republic at the
cnd). At the finish Of the war she was
without an ally in Europe.
France refused to remain PROSTATE.
She paid off her huge Indemnity, re-
organized her army and devoted her
self to regaiuing her place in Europe.
Thanks to the laundering of German
diplomacy, che soon secured an al
lance with Russia.
Bismarck noted with great nervous
ness the quick recovery Of France
after her defeat, but played hls cards
with furnbling hands. AT this time
Russia inflicted a serious defeat on
Turkey and concluded a treaty Of
peace that brought her to the Bos-
phorus. The European powers could
not permit CHS expansion on the part
OF the great autocrat to the north end
called a congress in 1882 at Berlin.
England, especially. feared the Rus
sian bear al Constantinople, where
Persia and India would be well within
reach Of his paw. Bismarck was anx-
ieus not to antagonize England. In
deed. TO avoid doing so, he had already
allowed the old alliance between Ger
many and Russia to lapse. Nov, at
the Congress Of Berlin, he permitted
the Russo-Turkish treaty to be torn
TO shreds and a new peace treaty con
cluded that robbed the Gear of the
Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1918-10-16

fruits of his victory The Russians
always blamed Bismarck for this dip
lonlatic defeat and for a generation
the Petersburg statesmen used to say,
Tho road to Coustatinopie Is via Ber-
lin" France, isolated and degraded
by Bismarck, found Russia, slienated
by the same statesman, willing to
come into the partnership.
Germany, realizing that she had
enemies to the north and south, ana
none too sure OF her ally on the east,
opened negotiations with Italy and
formed the unnatural Triple Alliance.
It was unnatural because Austria and
Italy have always been traditional
enemies, and when the time of test
! came in 1914, Italy refused to abide
by an unpopular and undemocratic
arrangement made by former gov
eminent.
Germany further played her cards
badly by backing Turkey, nation
which was extremely unpopular with
italy since just before the present
European War, Italy and Turkey
fought for the possession of Tripoi,
and France was thus enabled to cool
Italy's affection for the Triple AL
lance by approving her policy in
| Africa.
Germany as a nation is the young
est Of the big powers in Europe, but
has made more diplomatic mistakes in
the last fifty years than all the rest
Of the countries put together. We
must not forget that even Bulgaria
and Turkey, only two years before the
present war began, fought bitterly
| against each other and the relations
between these two countries have been
none too cordial since that time.
When Austria sought war with lit
Tie Serbia, Russia, the leading Slav
natjon, could not see the Serbs, who
are Slavs, thus trampled down.
When Russia went to the rescue of
Serbia, Germany declared war on Rus
STA and ON France. her close ally
The German diplomats had decided
that England would net flght, but
Great Britain threw her fortunes on
the side Of France, with whom she had
"a cordial understanding.
Thus it is easy to trace back from
Russia TO France the original biunder
of the punitive peace made by Ger
many in 1871 because the German
STAFF wanted the fortress of Metz,
which necessitated the taking of all
Of Alsace- Lorraine.
No greater military bully than Ger
many has appeared in the world in
modern times, Her success in 1871
turned her head and made her states
men believe that if nriIitarism were
combined with scientific management,
and the peoples soul subordinated to
a hideops national immortality known
as 'kultur," world domination would
follow. But the world refused to be
dominated.
