TWO WAYS TO HELP.

"How can help?" is a question that
presents itself frequently these days to the
man or woman who stays at home.
Here are two very simple ways:
The government is seeking photographs
of German towns and cities. These may
be In the form of picture post cards, kodak
views, or larger photographs. Anything
showing railway stations, harbors, docks,
or public buildings will be especially use
full. The members of the Fargo Rotary
cub are collecting these in Fargo and will
forward them. The donors cannot expect to
get them back, for they will be placed in the
hands of army officers where they will do
the most good, and it would be an impos-
sible task to index and return them. Any
one having such pictures may give them
to any Rotary club member.
Another way to help is to pay your in
come tax early. If everyone postpones
paying until the last day, the government
will be swamped. Besides, the money is
needed now.
These are two simple ways Of helping.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views Of The Forum

The New York World: Attorney General
Gregorys recent address to a committee of the
American Bar association authoritative
denunciaton of lawless attacks upon enemy
sympathizers. These outrages, he pointed out
were worse than criminal. for they beled the
purpose for which entered the war, put us
upon a level with the desperadoes of autocracy,
and, instead Of helping our forces in the field,
exposed them capture, to reprisals.
In the course of his speech he intimated that
Germany already had under consideration the
case of Prayer who killed by southern
Illinois mob few weeks ago. Thus the wicked
folly of g. few irresponsibles in a country town
enables an outlaw government which Iynched
Belgium, Serbia, Rumanial and Armenia, and
has strewn the sea with innocent victims, to
present a just grievance. Already a Berlin
newspaper long a defender Of massacre and
pillage makes bold to address US in terms Of
injury.
The President has spoken emphatcaly
this subject to the people at large, but Mr.
Gregory appeals more directly to members of
the legal profession, who in most communities
are in position to discourage manifestations
of the mob spirit His assurance that with
laws the department of justice is equipped to
deal vigorously with sedition and will do SO,
removes the last poor excuse anybody has Of
fered for lawlessness.

There's letters from our uncles
Our sisters, aunts and dads
Letters from our boy pals
And from a mothers heart that's sad.
We like to get them, every one;
They are as priceless as a pearl,
But golly! amt you tickled
When YOU get one from that GIRL?
You can be as tired as Moses
And you don't just give a dang
If you live or not in this old world
The army it can hang.
Then the gang all start a-yelling
You feel like a royal Earl
When your "bunkmate" comes a-grinnins
With a letter from that girl.
You'll drill righR hard all morning
On stones and grass that's long;
Y on can suffer any hardships
And in your heart there'll be a song
You care not for the blisters
And your head lis in a whirI
When your "Bunky" slyly whispers
There's one waiting from that girl
She can't write every day.
'Tis more than we expect;
But we can't help a-hoping
There'li be letters by the peck.
And fellow sure gets lonesome
And bad language he does hurl
When he has to roll up for the night
And no letter from that girl,

PTTY- THE POOR RICH MAN.

These are tragic days for the idle rich.
In many states the authorities have
adopted the very uncomfortable attitude
that there is no distinction between an
idle rich man and an idle poor man. The
man out Of job these days, hasn't any
more friends than an alarm clock on a
winters morning.
For example, down iii Baltimore, they
arrested James Madison Thompson, re-
tired banker and descendant Of President
Madison. because he was not employed. He

Buck Writes
OCamaI Trip

Details of a trip from Fort Stevens,
Ore, TO Camp Merritt N. j., via the
Panama canal, is contained in q
letter from Pie. H. r. Buck, Battery
D, 65th u. s. Reg. Art, to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. w. Buck, 420
Ninth avenue Gouth, Fargo.
we left Fort Stevens on the train,
and went to Frisco, which is about
500 miles," writes Private Buck. "The
weather was fine. After three
days ride we landed in Frisco,
bound for where we did not know,
and took a five-Tnile hike through
town to the boat.
I'VE were on the boat for a couple
of days. and finally got started out
through the Golden Gate, which you
have heard so much about, and went
straight out to sea. There wasn't
much to see, only water, in fact so
much water that I got sick OF it.
First Stop At Panama. At !
"The first stop was at the Panama
canal, which is a wonderful sight,
but the weather was so hot that you
could not breathe. There are five
locks which you have to go through,
each about 1000 feet long, and made
of concrete. They have an electric
car to pull the boat in with, and
out again. It took US nine hours to
go through the canal, which is
about 10 miles long with wonderful
scenery on both sides.
"a great sight was Culebra cut.
1t is a cut made through solid rock,
about 500 to 500 feet high, and about
200 to 800 feet through. This rock
is all different colors, but mostly
red, and with the sun shining on it,
1t is certainly beautiful.
Portsmouth Is Next.
Our first stop after leaving the
canal was Portsmouth, Va. I would
not live there for any money, as
there are too many 'niggers.' We
went through the great shipyards,
and the Marines training station
They certainly have a fine home"
Private Buck adds that Camp Mer-
rift is a wonderful camp, has every
thing from a show house to a cafe,
and is one of the largest camps in
the country.

THE AMERICAN COMMUNTQUE.

1LA0 %A4h444O4DTA4N oONA4A C4NANS ILL.,
The American Communique will here
after be a daily feature of the war news
from the western front.
The weekly summary issued from Wash
ington was abandoned recently, and until
yesterday there has since been no regular
source Of official information regarding
activities of the American army.
But the daily statement from American
headquarters will now be issued, after the
style adopted by the French and British.
The official statements do not make as in
teresting reading as some Of the dispatches
from correspondents, but they are refresh
ing in their freedom from any attempts
at descriptive writing, boasting, bombast,
or attempts to play upon the emotions.
The first American reports show that the
same style of stating plain facts in simple
language will be followed. These facts
are the original sources in the study of
war news, and most valuable for that
reason. Americans want the truth about
the war and about their soldiers, and the
daily eommunique should, be simple state
ments of the truth with no attempt to con-
ceaI unpleasant facts or to magnify Amer
lean victories We can look elsewhere for
the stories" of the war and descriptive
articles

Children Attend
Sch0oJ0n HOLIDAYS

Harry M. Case, former editor Of
The Neville Journal. stated Thurs
day evening that the children Of Nc
Vile are attending school on Sat
urdays and holidays to complete the
term the. first part Of June, instead
Of the latter part Of that month, as
usual. This is due to the fact that
the board of education of that city
will erect'a SIS. 900 front to the high
school building and the contractors
are anxious to get at the work as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Case reports that the Norwe-
tgian Lutherans intend to erect d
$4,000 ediffce in Melville this sum-
rner and, despite war conditions
there seems to be a general period
of prosperity in that district. He
says that the soil gained consider
able moisture Tuesday of this week,
rain and snow falling in his district
being a big boon to the grain.
Mr.. Case left for Minneapolis
Thursday evening.

"SYTTENDE NAL"

Today is the anniversary of Norway's
independence.
The part Norway has played in the
worlds fight for freedom has been q
tragic one.
= No people in the world have greater
love of liberty than the NorWegians. With
her immense coast line, Norway is natur-
ally country Of sea~going folk. Since the
days of the Vikings, Norwegians have
sought adventure and fortune on the sea-
No race of seamen was ever a race Of
slaves for long. The great expanses of the
ocean breathe freedom.
During the present war the sympathies
Of Norwegians have been wholly with the
Entente Allies, but Norway is little
country, with but few thousand square
miles of tillabIe land, and very sparse
population. With Belgium fate before
her, Norway saw only humiliation in en-
tering the war on the side of the Allies
She has paid a terrible price for her neu.
trality. More than 700 Norwegian ships
have been sunk without pity or scruple
by the German U-boats Thousands Of
Norwegian sailors have lost their lives.
Norway's great fords would prove won
derful bases for German submarines yet
Norway has resisted every pressure and
every Establishment from Germany and
maintains a strict neutrality, while her
people leave no doubt as to where their
sympathies lie. Her people know that the
Allies are fighting for liberty and freedom
for the world, and in such fight there is
but one side for Norwegian.
That is why, when you find Norweg-
ian in America, you find 100 per cent
loyalist. American ideals of liberty are
the ideals he has held from childhood.

THE SUCCESSOR OF THE g. A. r.

TILE bUCGESSOR OF THE u. A. IL.
Within the next ten years the Grand
Army of the Republic will be little more
than memory, but it's place will be taken
by the Comrades of the Great War.
Thoughtful men, remembering the great
influence the Civil War veterans had in
political, social and business affairs half
a century ago, have predicted that the
veterans of the great world war would
play a tremendous part in reconstruction.
This prophecy is already on its way to
fulfIlment, for the Comrades Of The Great
War are organizing, not as q national
body, but internationally. Posts will soon
be scattered all over America, Great Brit
ain and France, and probably in the other
allied nations. A post already has been
formed in Brooklyn.
Democracy is to be the keynote Of the
new organization and members Of all
ranks will have equal rights in the organ
ization.
The possible influence Of such an organ
ization is almost unlimited. It will have
a possible membership Of from 100000
to 100000 men, all in the full prime Of
life, and with no particular respect for
traditional methods of doing things. Be-
fore very long, perhaps within a year Or
two, the Comrades Of the Great War are
going to have considerable to say about
how the United States shall be governed.
