The Halliday Promoter calls attention to the
vital question as follows:
THE big question right now is to win the
war that we may have peace with victory
with no indemnities and no annexattons
The business man and the farmer will go
hand in hand in this great endeavor-they
should do this. There may be little mtsunder-
standings but they will be settled to the
satisfaction of all concerned. There will also
be a few hot heads in both classes but the
sober, intelligent mind will win in the long
run We are glad to state that there is no
dissension between the business men and the
farmers around Halliday.

"A. c. TownIey, in his speech at Watford'
Monday made an attempt to discredit the
Record editor with the farmers Of this com
munity, by stating, that the Record says
the league is disIoyal' In order to put the
qufetus to his little game, had. to lower
ourself to Mr.. Townley's level and call him q
liar right in meetin. We are we'll aware OF
the fact that it was a disgraceful~ thing to
do but there was no other way. 1t Is a
we'll known fact that no one is ever given
chance to protect himself at one Of Town
ley's meetings The affair was OF the no
hit no-run variety, as Townley stood cor
rected Inasmuch as he was man enough to
back up we are at this time willing to modl-
fv our statement as to his veractty concern
ing The Record Townley included in the

The Tower City Topics urges Editor Tostevin
to stand pat" as follows
THE Mandan Pioneer stated that $1,000
pro- German votes nominated Governor Fra
zer and the state council of defense, with
Thomas Allan Box, the man who is highly
(?) thought Of at Casselton at the head, has
ordered the suspension Of the paper. Stick
to your guns, Tostevin, the rest Of the press
gang is with you in this daylight attempt to
stop the free press from attacking the polit-
ical hirelings at Bismarck. The state coun-
Gil of defense has an idea that it is as big
as its secretary but all hope that this
attempt to muzzle justice will result in the
same manner as. the secretary is considered
over the state. The Topics belongs to the
same class of newspapers as The Mandan
Pioneer in the fight for political freedom
from one man rule and pro-Gernan in
fluences and the tyrannical attempt to shut
up opposition will be met with a Marine
stonewall by right thinkers of the state"

The army now has three honor decorations
which, in order Of their Importance, are as fol-
lows: The congressional medal, the distin-
gushed service cross, and the distinguished
service medal.
A bill now before congress provides for SINH
lar decorations for the navy, but with the last
two reversed in their order of Importance. The
Chicago Tribune rightly suggests that this bill
be amended to make them conform with the
army decorations. Otherwise the average civil
ian would never understand the difference be-
tween them.

HOW HUNS TREAT AMERICAN
PRISONERS

Private Rossiter, in the May
Farm and Fireside, says:
The fees had been so bad in the
Hamelin prison camp that eight
large assesses had formed on my
legs. The heat Of the day and the
continual rubbing of my long shoes
irritated the sores, so they became
very painful. Standing in open cans
had not improved the food, with
the result that became very iii
shortly after lunch. I was suffer-
ing untold aeOnies from thirst.
This made no difference to the
sentry. He refused TO listen to my
cries for water.
Finally he did tell me that he
would give a drink when we reach
ed Soltau. Arriving there, | again
asked for water, which made him
extreemly angry. He ordered me
TO march. With great difficulties,
and suffering great pain, l marched
TO the COmmandateur, which. is
mile from the station. Then I was
ordered TO march bach to Soltau.
I could go no further without water,
so lay on the ground and refused
10 bulge until had drink. Then,
and only then, did he make in
quiries about water, sending me
after it.
Then began the worst march OF
all-back TO Soltau. I was carry
small parcel, weighing about ten
pounds, but before the return
Journey came TO an end it felt as il
il was a ton. Every hundred yards
or so I had 10 stop for a rest.
Each stop made the sentry angrier.
About halfway back we met an Of

was too weak 10 salute, only
coming to attention. The sentry
did his three goose steps" after
which he kicked me severely for
not saluting. From then on every
time | attempted 10 rest he forced
me on by vigorous kicks. This
was the same fellow I had given
food earlier in the day"

Austro-H Hungarian nationalities who
have long desired it, it is Impossible
to hope for removal of those causes
of unrest in that part of Europe which
so long have threatened its genuine

George went on, he believed the same

added: :.

and the Black sea being information

menia. Mespotamia, Syria and Pales-
tine are. in our judgment, entitled to
recognition Of their separate national
conditions"
Open To Discussion.
The premier told his hearers mucn
had been said about the arrangements
Great Britain had made with its al
lies on this and other subjects. He
could say only that as new clrcum-
stances like the Russian collapse and
the separate Russian negotiations had
changed the conditions in which the
arrangements were made, the govern
ment was always ready to discuss
them with the allied nations.

tice in the proposal OF the central

attempt must be made to establish
great international organization as
means of settling international dis
mites. War is relic OF barbarism
and as law has succeeded violence in
the settlement of individuals disputes.
so it is destined to settle national con-
troversies."
Three Conditions Of Peace.
1--WE are fighting for just and las.-
ing peace" the premier declared.
"Three conditions must be fulfilled:
Firstly. the sanctity of treaties reestab-
lished: secondly, territorial settlement
based on the right Of self determine
ton or the consent OF the governed;
lastly, creation of an international or
ganization to limit armament and d.
mtpish the probability Of war.
ITO secure those conditions the Brit
ish empire is prepared to make even

Czernin Peace Impossible.

Referring to the announcement
made on Dec. % by Count Czernin, the
Austro-H Hungarian foreign minister, at
the Brest-Litovsk peace conference,
the premier said:
1t is impossible to believe that any
permanent peace could be erected on
such a foundation. Mere lip service
to the formula of no annexation, no
indemnity and self-determinatioa is
useless"
Premier Lloyd George said that an
Independent Poland comprising all
genuinely Polish elements who de-
sired to participate, was an urgent
necessity for the stability Of western
Europe.
Russia Must Save Self.
Referring to Russia, the premier
said:
I'VE should be proud to fight to the
end he declared, side by side with
the new Russian democracy. SO
would America, France and Italy. But
II the present rulers OF Russia act
Independently we have no means to
arrest the catastrophe. Russia can
only be saved by her own people.
we mean to stand by the French
democracy to the DEATH" the premier
continued, sin the demand the French
make for q reconsideration OF the great
wrong OF 1871 when Alsace-Lorraine
was torn away from them. This sore
has poisoned the peace OF Europe for
half century and until it Is cured
healthy conditions cannot be restored.
I'VE regard as vital, said the pre-
mier, "the legitimate claims OF the
Italians for union with those or their
own race and tongue.
We also mean to press that Justice
must be done to the men or huma-
MAN blood and speech
II these conditions were fulfilled.
Austria-Hungary would become a
power whose strength would conduce
to the permanent peace and freedom
OF Europe instead of being an instru-
ment of the pernicious Prussian mill
tary autocracy."
Demand BeIgium's Rights.
The premier said the first require
ments always made by the British and
their allies had been complete restora-
ton Of the political, territorial and
economic independence OF Belgium
and such reparation as could be made
Tor the devastation OF its towns ana
provinces. This was no demand ior
war indemnity, but insistence on the
TACT that before there could be any
nope Of stable peace this great preach
OF public law in Europe must be re-
pudiated and SO far as possible re-
paired.
Although we agree with President
Wilson that the breaking up OF Aus
tria-Hungary Is no part OF our war
Aims" he continued, I'VE feel that I'M
less genuine self-govprnment on true
democratic principles is granted those
