Germany such financial guarantees as will make Ger
many anything but a pleasant country to live In for some
time, to come.
A furry was created in railroad circles and among
politicians during the week by the publication OF a letter
from Secretary McAdoo. director general Of railroads,
advocating that congress take definite steps to maintain
the railroads under government control for five Gears
The reasons advanced by Mr.. McAdoo for this recon-
mendation are: That. the roads cannot be returned to
private management under the old system without dis
astrous consequences; that the time provided under the
present law, 21 months, is too short to permit proper leg
islation for the future regulation of the roads to be en-
acted; and that in the longer period suggested, proper
steps can be taken for the financing Of the roads and for
the making of necessary improvements can be UNDER
taken. The suggestion has not met with favor on the
Republican side, and men representing 80 per cent OF
the railroad mileage of the country are definitely opposed
to it. ~

THE INEVITABLE RESULT

The Grand Forks representative of an investment
concern in another state has just received from the head
office of the company the following letter:
We are enclosing a newspaper clipping contain
ing the announcement of Mr.. Townley and his politi-
cal lieutenants that they propose to declare the con-
stitutional amendments voted on in North Dakota at .
the last election all carried, in apparent contraven-
ton Of the state constitution. i
This high-handed and wholly illegal action has
caused'a strong wave Of sentiment in the minds Of
the trustees Of this company against having the In
stitution make any further investments of its money
in North Dakota securities at this time. I am satisfied
that il it had not been for this last exhibition" by
the Nonpartisan leader and his henchmen we would
have again entered the farm mortgage field in North
Dakota at this time.
Regretting the situation which makes it impos-
sible to do this until some further evidence has been
given to the outside world that North Dakota islre-
covering from her political nightmare, I am, &c.
The house from which this letter came is one Of the
largest investment concerns doing business in the north,
west. It has carried several million dollars in North Da:
kota farm loans, and, what is a, matter of DECIDED interest
to borrowers, its loans have been made at low interes
rates. For some time prior to the war, which democrat
lied rates, this concern made loans in North Dakota 3
an interest rate of from S to S IL per cent.
This is but one Of many cases of the total or partia
Withdrawal Of loaning companies from the North Dakots
field. The Socialist explanation is, of course, that ,nt
threat to withdraw is a bluff, and actual withdrawal al
attempt to coerce the farmers OF North Dakota into com
pliance with the demands Of "big business whatever tina
is. The simple fact is that people who have money d.
care to loan 1t unless they have reasonable assursnc.
of getting 1t back. and the trend Of things Of late has bee,
such as to create doubt as to the security of any invest
.1aent made In the state. That II the whole thing in
nutshell, and the more reckless our political bosses arr
with the states credit, the less money will be available
for carrying ON the work Of our people.

THE HAGUE, Wednesday, Sept
4.-Events on the west front are be-
ing followed with tense interest in
Holland, where every change in the
situation is noted and commented on
by the press and public. The Nieue
Notterdamsche Courant says the
stories current in Germany are char
acteristic of the populations feeling
and cites the following: Hindenburg
committed suicide by shooting
troops deserted to the enemy; vari-
ous regiments mutiny; naval officers
betrayed submarine bases; British
fleet attacked Helgoland.
The paper adds that all these sto-
ries are not only related, but be-
lieved in Germany, as is evident from
the order of the general commanding
the Seventh army corps, assuring the
population that these are nothing but
rumors undeserving Of belief,

Youths In Draft
To Study Free AS
Part of Army Duty

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Youths
1S years of age and older, who will
be required to register under the
new man-power law, and are either
now in college or had planned to go
this fall, are being urged by the war
department to enter just as if the
legislation had not been passed.
When the government wants these
young men for active service in the
field they will be called. Meanwhile,
officials want them to get all the
schooling possible between the time
college opens and the date Of their
call for active service. How long they
will be permitted to remain is prob
lematical, but Uncle Sam is anxious
that they lose no time unnecessarily
from their studies.
Graduates of high schools, who are
prepared to enter college, may apply
to any college or university which has
signified its willingness to become a
part of the new cooperative educa-
tional system. They must pay their
own expenses until the new system
becomes effective, which will be as
near October ] as practicable, and
students who pass the physical and
other required examinations will be
inducted into military service, their
tuition and subsistence paid, and
they will receive the pay of privates
in the army.
Equipment already is available for
approximately 100000 young men,
who will become members of the
Students Army Training Corps. The
equipment for an additional $4,000
will be provided later.
The first three months of the
course, from October / until the end
of December, will be largely in the
nature of a try-out for men already
in college or about to enter.
AS men are transferred from the
initial training courses, promising
material already in camps will be Sc
lected to take their places in college
and universities. Every young man
who is prepared for further school
ing, either collegiate or vocational,
will ultimately find his way into
school at the expense of the war de-
partment.
The probability is that young men
now in the engineer, medical and
other technical reserve corps will be
permitted to continue their studies.
At least for the present they will
not be distufbed. Some phases of
this problem Aremain to be worked
out.
When the student soldiers have re-
ceived the specified period Of inten-
sive training, they will be selected as
noted above and assigned to military
duty in one of the following ways:
Transferred to a central Off
GERS training camp.
2-Transferred to a non-commis-
stoned officers training school.
3-Assigned to the school where
they are enrolled for further inten-
sive work. in a specified line for
limited time.
Assigned to the vocational
training section of the corps for tech
nical training of military value.
5-Transferred to a cantonment
for duty with troops as a private.
