The Editors Mail Bag

TO the EDITOR Of The Forum: After consult
ing with number of representative men OF this
city. believe the time has come when an orr
ganization along the following lines can be easily
formed and should be formed:
Each member to pledge himself to do his
full share of all war work This would include
buying Liberty bonds. donating to the Red Cross
and similar organizations
2, TO patronize only those persons and firms
doing their full share Of war work
8. TO vote only for those men for office that
are doing their full share toward winning the
war.
The organization could publish d list OF all
persons qualifying under these provisions for the
guidance of the membership
The executive committee of this organization,
after considering the standing Of the members
and others of the city, could apportion the va
rious amounts to be subscribed and the work to
be done by individuals. This would save a. great
deal of work now done by volunteers and sinl-
plfy and greatly expedite the raising of funds
The possibilities Of such organization are
practically unlimited and, with right manage
ment win sweep the. country from coast to
coast

North Dakota has no particular reason
TO feel proud Of her record on the thrift
stamp purchases.
The government report on the total sales
TO April /, shows North Dakota but six
states from the bottom in per capita pur-
chases. The state has averaged but SO
cents per capita, or slightly more than two
thrift stamps for each person in the state.
Nebraska heads the list of states with per
capita purchases of $11.06, and the District
Of Columbia, Missouri and Kansas follow
in the order named. Nebraska has made
an amazing record, having nearly four
times the per capita sale of the second
state, and having the largest actual sales
Of any state, exceeding even New York and
Illinois. The thrifty farmers Of Nebraska
evidently know bargain when they see
it.
North Dakota is forty-third on the list,
and the only states trailing us are Florida,
Michigan, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama
and South Carolina.
We haven't had '%drive" for thrift
stamps in North Dakota. They are on sale
all the time, and the long, steady pull is
what counts, but the pull han t been quite
hard enough as yet.

HUN STRATEGY,

II hesreports that Austria will make a
new peace offer to Italy are substantiated,
1t is sure sign that the great German Of
fensipe 10 checked, and that the German
war lordsrealize they can't break through
20 either the channel or Paris.
Hun strategy is becoming SO well
Known that it can be forecast by the Al
lies. It has been freely predicted that as
soon as the German drive was checked, a
new offer of peace would be made.
Germany was never as far from dictat-
ing q peace as she is today, and never so
close to being forced to accept peace on
the allied terms outlined by President Viii
son.

MoORHEAD's BIG IDEA.

Moorhead Red Cross workers have hit
upon plan that is so erninently practical
and has so many features to recommend
it, that it should be adopted throughout
the wheat-growing states Of the nation.
In brief the plan is to mobilize the
school children of the city and county as
cleaners in the wheat fields for the benefit
of the Red Cross.
At present wheat prices, 500 wheat heads
will yield pound Of grain worth three
and third cents, it is estimated by q prac~
tical farmer.
It is planned to organize the school
children now, and have them ready to go
into tho fields after the crop is harvested,
to gather up all the wheat heads left by.
the reapers.
Three important aims would be achieved.
There would be a tremendous saving Of
wheat if the plan were generally adopted;
money would be raised for the Red Cross;
and the children would be given an outing
and q lesson In thrift at the same time.
It Is planned to have the children camp
out m the fields, and learn something of
camp cookery.
Few farmers have time to CLEAN their
fields carefully, and there is no difficulty
In getting their consent to the plan.
The Forum congratulates the Moorhead
shapter for hitting upon an original and
valuable idea, and recommends 1t to other
cities m the wheat belt.

The bull-headed man who announces

600 men last fall in the capture Of Bellevue
spur, comparatively minor operation that
lasted but three weeks, and in which prob.

life that no Allied general would dare

Half a million does not seem an excessive

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep

The editor of the Harvey Journal has this
timely and sensible view of the 'pro-German'
problem:
OF late the editor of the journal has heard
some complaints of people of German extrac-
ton that they were being prosecuted" and
"harangued by the press and others.

Of America at heart Is prosecuting. prose-

ssTHE ATTACK WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. .

ssTHE ATTACK WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. !"
Can you grasp what an attack by 1885,
600 men on 12-mile front meansH
It means 175,000 men to approximately
5000 feet.
It means approximately three men to
every foot Of front, or nine men to every
yard.
In advancing over rough ground, it
would be impossible to use more than one
man to yard. Therefore the Germans
either had nine solid Lines Of infantry over
front Of twelve miles, attacking in
waves, or they used two or three such
waves in several attacks.
Then try to grasp what an "unsuc-
cessful attack means. These dense lines
Of infantry were met with such wither-
ing fire that they reiterated, not once but
many times during the day. In such fight
ing, casualties Of fifty per cent or higher
would not be surprising.
The British report merely says: 1.-THE
successful allied defense made the day the
b1oodiest yet experienced by the enemy,
as attack after attack was smashed by ar
tilIery and infantry fire.
Even the German army cannot stand
many days like Monday.
