dear ''Fadderland" they now long
for with a longing that passes all
understanding. To all Americans
the very name. Bismarck, is now
utterly Tepugnant. Why it should
be continued as the name Of the
capital Of this, or any other Ameri-
can state is not apparent.
Does he imagine, that. with the
signing of a peace treaty our minds
will cease to function and the past
will be a blank regarding the hOrri-
BILE things which have been done to
suffering humanity by orders of the
Hun rulers for whom Bismarck did
the planning and thinking? BY all
means we should change the name
Of the capital and try to get away
from the remembrance of the horroD
it recalls. Why not the name OF
Lincoln? 1t at least would not sug-
gest murder, rape, looting, and
torture.
Yours,
Anti Hun.

DISABLED SOLDIERS
REPLY TO PAN-GERMANS
Grow Restless at ChauVinist Talk
Heard at Meeting of Fatherland
Party.
(Rv Associated Press


Amsterdam, Jan. 10.-A number OF
disabled German soldiers were in
vited on Monday to attend a meet
ing of the Fatherland party, founded
recently in the interests Of the pan
Germans and other Incorporating
elements. They grew restless under
the flow of Chauvinist talk from the
annexationists, says the Socialist or
gan Vorwaerts, Of Berlin. They
were not permitted to speak and a
stormy scene followed.
One of the speakers referred to
the disabled soldiers as deserters
who had left Hindenburg's banner
to betray their comrades. Some of
the cripples, Vorwaerts says, were
belabored with sticks and abused by
the heroic home warriors Of the
Fatherland party"
The police finally ordered the dis
abled soldiers to leave the hall.

MayviiIe, N. D.. Jan. 1O.-While the

with good results. There have been

FEWER ENROLLED
MayViIIe Normal School Attendance
Lighter Than Last Year.

Mayville, N. D., Jan. 1O-The win
ter term of the year 1917-1S opened
with a very good enrolment although
there is falling off from the cores
ponding enrolment last year. This
was to be expected owing to the fact
that there is the greatest shortage of
teachers perhaps ever experienced in
any one year in North Dakota. This
demand for teachers persuaded maRy
high school graduates to enter teach
ing when they would ordinarily have
entered normal school and COM
pleted the course before teaching.
Every day the normal school has
calls for teachers and is unable to
supply them.

"SELLING" THE NEW PEACE
TERMS.

What will be the one biggest factor
in winning the war?
Perhaps the newspaper man takes
prejudiced view of it, but why
shouldn't the answer to that be lad
vertising'?
Advertising sold the Liberty
Bonds. Advertising got millions of
members for the Red Cross and rails
ed 100000, 900. Advertising raised
the Y. NJ. C. A. and Y. w. c. A.
funds.
Advertising got hundreds of thous-
ands Of recruits for the army and
navy in addition to those raised by
the draft law.
Advertising made the draft law
itself possible, for in what other way
could the government have reached
millions Of men?
Those are but a few Of the aims
achieved with the aid Of advertising,
and now the United States has begun
a deliberate advertising campaign to
sell" the Allies peace terms or war
aims as the President prefers to call
them. President Wilson's address
was cabled to every nation in the
world yesterday. and published in
thousands Of newspapers stmultan-
eously. The President is trying to
sell his peace terms to the German
people. They are good peace terms,
and have solid merit in them. We
think they are a much better product
than the kind to which the German
people have become addicted And
the Presidents message yesterday
was about the best advertising
copy" we have seen.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.

With the fuel scarcity, a new
argument for the daylight saving
plan, now before Congress, has come
to the front The Daylight Saving
bill passed the senate and is now be-
fore the House committee.
The bill, as most newspaper read
ers know, will authorize setting the
clocks ahead one hour during the
greater part Of the year, in order that
the working day may begin an hour
earlier and end an hour earlier.
Even in peace times there are
many arguments for such a measure.
1t utilities more hours Of daylight,
and gives a much greater opportun-
| ity for outdoor sport after working
hours.
But in war time there is an addi-
tional reason, and a most important
one. The saving In the use Of cleo
tricity would reduce the consumption
Of coal by millions Of tons. With
this argument to stir Congress to
action, the daylight saving plan is
likely to become a law at the present
session.
In peace times Congress probably
would spend weeks solemnly debat-
ing the merits Of the plan, which are
many, and the bad features, which
are fanciful, but with the coal saw
ing feature to commend IT, it is like
ly to slip through without discussion.

DR.. MAGNES DENIES 1T.
He Never Went to Mexico 6r Sent
Messages to That Country.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuE--Sir: 1t
is only to-day that was shown the
following statement In your issue of
December O.:
In March, 1915. Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Becker says, Or. MRgnes made a trip
to Mexico. The object of this journey Is
not made clear. but In one Of the wireless
messages to Berlin Won Bernstorr says
that "Magnes reports situation in Mexico
better"
have not the slightest idea what all
this may mean. I did not make a trip
to Mexico in 1915. l have never been
in Mexico in my life. As far as am
aware have never had communication
with Mexico. directly or indirectly. on
any subject whatsoever. either In per-
son or by letter or by telegram or by
messenger or in any other way. have
never communicated with anybody about
any Mexican situation whatsoever.
Under these circumstances does II not
seem strange that a citizen should be
accused publicly by the Department OF
Justice of the State OF New York OF
trips and communications and other &C
tivities which have absolutely no basis?
Instead Of protecting citizens 1t would
seem that some of our officials are in
shutting kind of governmental reign

an authoritative expression by the
United States Government. Indeed,
IL the greater weight OF authority Is
on either side, 1t Is with the Knox
resolution. Senator KNOX has not
been repudiated by any vote of the
people,. On October 25, in advance Of
the latest Federal election, President
WILSON frankly told the country and
the world that "the return of n Re
publican majority to either house Of
Congress would be interpretative on
the other side of the water as a re-
pudlatlon of my leadership" The
words are his own.
The celebrations Of hearty and
friendly welcome which, beginning at
Brest, are going for some days or
weeks to occupy so much of public
attention on both sides of the ocean
arc In part q tribute to the intellec-
tual qualities which Europe has rec
cognlzed in the distinguished guest,
and in part an expression of grateful
sentiments toward the American peo-
pie for their sacrifices and assistance
in winning the war. 1t is his pleas
ant fortune to receive in his own per-
son the plaudits that are intended
for our nation.
But how much more gratifying all
this welcome would have been to

dent under circumstances somewhat
different from those which exist. How
much more solid would be the ground

not merely as controverslalist eager
to champion his own individual re-
sponsibility, conceptions and inten-
tons personally contrived and con-
corning which the Congress, the coor-
dinate and equal department of the
Government, and the American people
as whole. have been sedulously kept
by him in profound ignorance, except
as he has vouchsafed us on occasion
vague generalities and phrases Of
rhetoric. How much more profitable
President WILSON'S historic journey
had he landed at Brest as a represen-
tative with a real mandate from a
Government and a people informed
as to what he was about, approving
his plans and united in his support.

observations regarding the condition Of

trail freight stations. Our hours of
work are from A. N. to p. NJ.
ofttlmes p. NJ, and we get only a

are most unreasonable hours. more espe-
cially In the winter months, when a
checker has to stand twelve and thir-
teen hours in the zero weather exposed
to the terrific cold wind. Frequently
he is numb with cold. 1 should think
the time opportune TO put in force the

should be at the same rate as ~ now

above hours and after s F. NJ. should

False Notions About the Returned

when / hear wealthy. we'll meaning

I always tell them not to worry about

DR.. HUTCHINSON might have in
cluded Government officials among
these well meaning citizens. We do
not deplore Secretary LANES earnest
effort to make farm lands ready for
those soldiers who desire to go ut
farming; 1t Is n plan worth making,
no matter what the results are. What
we would discourage is an idea, prev
alent in some quarters, that two mill
ion young men are returning to Amer
lea utterly without plans for their
future and quite incapable of think
ing out that important matter for
themselves. From what we have
seen of the American soldiers they
are, for the most part, very well
equipped under the hat. Further
more. most of these soldiers have
homes, relatives, friends and assocla-
tions of years standing. Most Of
them had. before the war, q pretty
fair idea of what their life work was
to be; and except in those cases
where military life or tho view of
larger world has changed their no
tions, they will take up their careers
where they left off, better equipped
than ever, physically and mentally, to
go ahead.
II is all very well to plan for homes
and work for the unattached and
those whose pioneer spirit would keep
them on the restless 20. The Gov
eminent should, as a reward for their
fine services, help them to the work
that suits them best. How many men
there are of this type it is impossible

To THE EDITOR OF THE GuN-Sir: I
have been attracted to articles in your
paper extolling the United States
Marines for their work at Belleau
Wood. The Information contained in
those articles is substantially correct,
but I desire to give credit to an or
ganization which has been conscientious
" overlooked In the capture Of Belleau
Wood. That organisation was the Sec
ond Regiment OF United States Engi-
neers, and to them rs much as to the
marines goes tho credit for stopping the
Hun hordes last June
was a Lieutenant in Company c OF
the Second Regiment and know OF the
work that the engineers performed In
that never TO be forgotten SOAP, and
while it is not my desire TO take any
credit away from the marines, who are
the most wonderful fighters in the
world still I desire to call attention to
n forgotten organization which fought
side by side with them and with the
other infantry units of the Second Di-
vision.
l have since been honorably dis
charged as an officer OF the Army of
the United States. so in writing this to
you l am writing In the capacity of a
citizen of the United States who desires
70 see his former organization receive
the credit that belongs to IT,
Indeed. IL the records OF tho Second

that the Second Regiment OF Engineers
