Denmark. Germany has grown so
weak hat even it's smaller creditors
are gaining courage to demand pay
ment. Denmark's grievance, Of
course, is Schleswig-H olstein.
The first Of Bismarck's handmade
war; for German world domination
was directed against Denmark. Prus-
STA and Austria conspired together in
1864 to rob Denmark Of its southern
provinces, Schleswig and Holstein.
They agreed with Denmark at this
time that certain parts of Schleswlg
should say for themselves whether
they would belong to Denmark or to
Germany. Bismarck brought about a
war with Austria two years later TO
make a pretext for robbing Austria
of its share of the Danish loot, n
the contract with Denmark was never
kept, That German mote" is still
outstanding. Denmark. meanwhile,
has loved Prussia for stealing Schles-
wig-Holstein about as much as France
has loved Prussia for taking Alsace-
Lorraine.
Denmark is so situated that Ger
many could at any time in the past
four years have destroyed it at a blow.
A desire for self preservation has
kept it silent through these years,
though its sympathies have been with
the allies. Now that a day OF general
reckoning for Germany is plainly at
hand, Denmark presents its little bill.
Bismarck dobbed Denmark in order
to secure the site of the Kiel canal,
Germany's short route from the Baltic
to the outer seas. If Denmark re-
ceives its stolen province back. the
Kiel canal will be in Danish territory.
1t would be one Of the natural fruits
of the war for Kiel canal to be neu-
tralized as the Dardanelles bids fair
to be ne~utraliZed. The return of its
lost duchies to Denmark would offer
a simple mean of bringing this about,
The canal could be neutralized under
Danish supervision.
Would these territories be willing.
after so great a lapse Of time, to re-
turn to Denmark? The Germans have
tried in Schleswig-Holstein as they
did in Alsace-Lorraine to drive out
the natives and to Germanize such as
they could not drive away. 1t is said
that they have not succeeded in this.
Even the Germans Of these districts
are said to be tired Of German mill
tarism and its taxes and willing to be
taken over by prosperous, p%eaceable
Denmark.

STRANGE TALES FROM AMERICA

Omaha World-Herald-A citizen of
Omaha has received a letter from a
distant relative residing in Bristol,
Eng, which contains some statements
that will be of interest to all. He
says IN uncle has just returned from
a business trip to America and "he
tells the strangest tales ever heard"
Among other paragraphs in the let
ter is the following:
"As for efficiency and discipline,
there never was before such a land.
1t seems that the government has
only to request a thing, and whether
it asks for peach stones or a railroad,
the thing is done quicker than any
command of the German imperial gov
eminent was yer executed. If the
president asks the people to quit eat
ing meat or wheat, they just quite and
that is all there is to it. If he wants
the railroads and telegraphs and tele-
phone lines for war purposes, no pro-
test is made and they are placed at
his disposal. In America, before the
war, there was the largest leisure
class in the world and thousands of
rich women lolled around with a host
Of servants to wait upon. The pres
ident asked them to go to work, and
they went to, work, some of them
scrubbing floors in the hospitals and
other mental tasks"
The picture may be somewhat over.
drawn, but in the main it is true.

For the benefit Of those who take

wagon roads when comparing them
with Minnesota roads. just because
they have happened to find a few main
reaching from our borders
to some Of the larger cities In that
state. which are fine for the purpose
of speeding. in the tourist season, the
comment of an editorial writer in the
Tuesdays issue OF the Pioneer-Press
throws some light on the general road
question of that state. He says:
Here is quite g text for a small good
roads sermon. Governor Burnquist
started to visit his farm near Clinton,
but was prevented from reaching 1t
by the impossible roads. That Is. for
the most part, the kind OF roads we
have in Minnesota. In dry weather
they are mediocre; In wet weather
they are execrable: after prolonged
rain they are utterly useless. What
we want and what we must have are
roads that are serviceable In any kind
of weather" : It would not

HOW ENGLAND IS INCREASING
PRODUCTION OF FOOD

A grabbed and skeptical citizen with
a naturally bad disposition, or a sly
German propaganda may be heard
to ask, why does America have to
work so hard to feed Europe? Why
aren't they producing their own food?
Not much of their land is in the hands
of the enemy. What is England do
ing?"
In the first place, America is not
working hard. We are only learning
to live without wasting. We have no
serious deprivations. And Europe is
producing food. Every bit Of land in
France and England that is tillable is
now used for raising grain or vege-
tables.
But we must remember that we have
taken over the responsibility Of feed
ing Belgium, which would actually
starve without us, and that there are
two millions of our own men in
France, England and Italy, and even
from home.
As to what England is doing, we
have only to read in the War Cabinet
Report to learn that she is producing
two years ago. There are now about
270,000 women in agricultural work in
Great Britain. An active recruiting
campaign was undertaken and provi-
sion was made for the training of
workers by means Of short courses at
colleges, Institutes or on the farms.
Before the war there were about So
900 employed in agriculture
in England, Scotland and Wales. The
great expansion was due largely to the
work of the volunteer organization of
the Women's War Agricultural Com
mittees, Village Registrars and Dis
trict representatives.
There are $4,000 900 more acres IN
der cultivation now than before 1916.
Some OF this land, under the Defense
of the Realm Act, vas cultivated un-
der orders from the government. BY
law the government could enforce cul-
tivation Of land when 1t was discov-
cred that it was not properly titled.
Steps have been taken to survey
areas of land which could be improved
by drainage. In Scotland a survey
was made of deer forests with a view
to restocking tracts Of land with
sheep.
Other districts which have never
before been used as agricultural lands
are now producing vegetables and
grain. The government has taken
possession of unoccupied land, and al
lotted it in sections to city residents
who would cultivate it in their spare
time.
The Allied Food Administrators are
in touch whit the food situation of
the whole world, and the program
they have outlined is for the good
of us ALL America is not doing more
than her share. In fact, the burden
of war has fallen most lightly upon
us. We do not expect to be rationed
by compulsion, as the British, French
and Italians are. Our sugar ration Of
two pounds a month, for instance, is
purely voluntary.
But WI are asked, as patriotic cit
liens of a great republic. fighting with
worthy associates at u side, in the
war. to conserve all food by eating
less. and to waste nothing. And there
is no doubt that the American people
will meet this emergency. as they
have met others In the past.

READERS OF THE REGISTER

Owing to the recent ruling of the Federal Trade
Commission in again raising the price OF PRINT
paper, we may have to raise the price OF the
Register to $3.50 per year by the first OF Janu-
airy next in order to make it pay expenses. Be-
fore the war broke out and since, we have been
exceedingly fortunate in our purchases, but
now. on account of the shortage and the rules
laid Down by the War Industries Board, we are
limited to a certain allotment with the certainty
of being obliged to pay the highest market price
per pound that has prevailed in the thlrty-flve
years we have been in the publishing business.
We are therefore advising those who read the
Register and enjoy its weekly visits and who
have failed to attend to their renewals to do SO
at once before the price goes any higher.
