80 miles was accomplished after much privation,
owing to a shortage of provisions, caused by
the unexpected delays in transit. The mission
aries were heartily welcomed by the Indian
chiefs, and stoves were put up in the school
house. An Indian boy who i'll, brought
to be baptized, and was named Joseph. Many
old Indians became sick and the building was
for a time turned into a hospital, being furnished
with mattresses and blankets When the school
was opened the reluctance Of the mothers to
leave their children to the care Of the mission

ONE PRODIGAL RETURNS.

Life is Just one id thing after
another" for the Townley Excess Proph-
cts" these days.
A year ago The Country Gentleman, the
poor relation of The Saturday Evening
Post, fawned on the league, and wrote some
4platitudinous pleasantries about it that so
pleased the Townley Socialist ring, they
distributed many thousand copies of the
magazine,
Now The Country Gentleman has dis
covered what was known in North Dakota
all the time, and has assigned one of it's
editors the task Of Wiping these leaders off
the earth with one grandiloquent,sweep Of
the editorial pen. He relates that when the
4War began, the league leaders fairly
sweat BLOOD in deciding upon a policy.
Imagine having to choose a "poicy" in
regard to the war. 1t develops that they
decided upon "fifty-ffty" plan. They
iwere going to "give the profteers bel"
Ibut support the war openly. And one
Header 10 quoted as follows:
I, Think what it, would have meant If any
{ other course had been adopted. If we had
tt4aksn a. stand against the war-which might
not have been wholly unpopular issue in

4 war and bloodshed. If we had taken the
4 other extreme It would have killed the league
! and all the reforms it stands for. If the
III public could understand this think 1t would
II have tosgtve us credit for doing the best we
could"
Why yes. On the same theory we would
have to "give credit" to the soldier who
would refuse to go to war because he
might get killed, but was willing to accept
q profitable, bullet-proof job.
Pleasant little humorist, isn't he, this
league leader? The public understands !"
all right. It understands, without this
naive admission, that the league policy
was to go just as far in opposing the war
as it dared.
Probably these league leaders should
have statue erected in their honor for
permitting America to go to war unhin-
dered.

Townley's fgureheads, this month in North
Dakota, but Of course, loyalty ism an is

mans The Forum is strictly neutral in
this campaign. It doesn't care who gets
the credit for ending the rule of these po-
Etical and economic eharIatans.

offered extraordinary inducements in the
way Of high interest and ready liquidation
to attract buyers and encourage thrift.
The buyers came in large numbers, but
the amounts were so small the showing was
discouraging. .---
The men in charge Of the campaign met
at Washington to talk it over. The stamps
must be sold this year or not at all. Every
state but one was far behind its quota
That state was Nebraska. 1t developed
that the Nebraska state chairman had
tackled the job with typical western en-
thusiasm, on new lines. He arranged for
community meetings in every school dis
trict in the state. Pledges were signed at
these meetings, and monitors appointed to
see that the pledges were kept.
The other states decided to adopt the
Nebraska plan. President Wilson has put
his shoulder to the wheel, and now the
stamps have to be sold quickly and in large
amounts.
June % is the day.
There will be an "election" in every
schoolhouse and voting precinct in the
state on that day, and voters will have a
chance to 'vote for" war savings stamps,
or in other words sign pledges to save
money and lend it to Uncle Sam for very
snug interest rate.
Remember that day, and by the way,
forget about the "war savings stamp" and
think of the thrift stamp" The latter
has maturity value of SIS and the former
of IS cents. The bigger ones count up more
quickly.

HOLDING ON THE 1O-YARD LINE.

"Why are the Germans always in vastly
superior numbers when they attack?
5 "Why don't the Allied commanders see
that they have as many men at the point
attacked, as the Germans have"2
Most readers of The Forum probably can
give the answer to those questions, which
are heard frequently these days. But they
are fair questions, and the answer can be
given very simply by comparing the great
battle to a football game,
, The Germans have the ball. Their lead
ers give the signal for a play through
tackle, for example. They may make a
fake play to mislead their opponents into
believing they are going to try to go
! around the end. The opponents cannot
weaken any part Of the line, nor can the
backs pile in until they are certain where
the attack is going to hit. AS soon, as the
backs are certain the attack is coming
through tackle, they jump in and pile up
the opposing players and the ball is held.
But before the backs come to the rescue,
the massed attack may advance yard, or
two yards, or five yards through the tackle.
That is exactly the situation the Allies
are facing on the western 'front.' They
have line of $50 to 200 miles to watch for
such a. concerted attack. If they placed all
their reserves in the line, break would be
fatal They must hold the line as thinly
as possible, and have the reserves ready to
check the attack definitely.
The airmen help the Allied commanders
anticipate these attacks, but fighting on
the inside Of an arc, with shorter lines Of
communication, the Germans can shift
troops much more quickly from one side to
the other, and until they are definitely
committed to an offensive, the Allies do not
dare throw in too many reserves.
It is a critical stage in bloody game,
with the Allies holding on their own TO-
yard line, but the Germans are not making
the distance they should to keep the ball,
and even a touchdown on Amiens or the
channel ports would not be decisive.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-06-01

No, that is not taken from an editorial in
The New York Tribune, nor The Chicago
Tribune or The Kansas City Star, but from
one Of President Wilson's most idolatrous
worshippers, The New York World.
The Forum has no sympathy with those
who are trying to make political issue
out of General Wood. The President has
said that "politics is dead" but to assure
the country that the war department
knows this fact, frank statement on the
Wood case should be forthcoming.
Perhaps it is true that General Wood
is not acceptable to General Pershing Gen
eral Pershing is the commander in France
and should have free rein. If he says he
has no place for General Wood abroad be-
cause he cannot work in harmony with
him, that is sufficient answer. But more
than 100 generals of lesser rank have been
sent abroad. General Wood has never
been criticised on the score Of his ability.
He passed the physical examination with
out difficulty, and as one Of the highest
ranking officers in the American army he is
entitled to something better than being in
termed in America, when he is begging for
an opportunity to be of service abroad.
If he is not being punished for his friend
ship with those who have criticised the ad-
ministration, the administration should
make this fact known.
If General Pershing would say General
Wood is not acceptable to me and I cannot
work to the best advantage with him. it
would be sufficient. But it isn't sufficient
for the war department to humiliate gal
liant soldier and remain silent as to the
reason.

German Mortality Figures

From The London Times:
Ansterdarn-Fr the beginning Of the war up
to the end Of 1915 there were over one million
more deaths in Germany than Is normally the
case, writes the Berlin correspondent Of the
Maasbode i'm a statement of the effects OF the
War on the vital statistics Of the German en-
pire. For the first three war years" he says
"tha entire loss by mortality is said to have
been 370O,O00 Instead of the normal increase
Of the population by 100000 there was, August
l. 1917,Aa decrease OF 100000, to which another
100000 was added as a result OF the decline Of
the birth figure that atill continues Ii to ex-
pected that instead Of ia million, the men be-
tween the ages Of III and As viii only number
12700 600; and instead OF 100000, as now, the
excess Of women over men will be 100000. 1T
Is not yet known how the war losses viii be
ii there win Be i, 100 women to every 1000 men
of nlarriageable age,R
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-06-01

OF this number over 100000 are already
in France. Mr. Caldwell says that we have l.
100000 trained men ready to go and waiting
only for ships, and he states that 10000 men
were dispatched to Europe the first ten days Of
May, These figures correspond roughly to those
recently published, apparently with official sane
made that America intends to put 100000
fighting men into France this year. t..-
While this is gratifying we have had enough
dsappointments in the past to warrant extreme
caution in dealing with the future. There is a
possibility that the figures showing that we sent
10000 men the first ten days Of this month may
be misleading. To keep up this rate we would
have to send 10000 men month. Such a
record would give us, with the 100000 already
abroad, more than 100000 men by the end OF
go, according to Mr.. Caldwell, and Of the re-
manning men, 423,742 are from the April and
May draft quotas.
In order to carry out the undertaking Of put
ting 100000 fighting men into France this year
we must, therefore, train at least half a million
and send them over in the next seven months
So TAR as we can see this can only be done by
putting comparatively raw men into units al
ready trained, In short, our present and future
drafts must be sent over in small units. This
can be done if we have the ships for trans
portation and supplies, otherwise not Secretary
carry millions OF men by next summer but there
is going TO be close race this year. However,
we are now sending troops at rapid rate and
we are getting men ready as fast as they can be
been brighter, and if we do not let Our hopes
get too Tar ahead Of the possibilities Americas
effort this year should be Tax from disappoints
