Pied or captured or cleared Of the
defenders.
Just such events are transporting every
day in France. Bapaume was good ex-
ample. Allied scouts entered the town
which had population of about 1000 be,
fore the war-and found no Germans there,
They returned to report their findings, but
later German forces were sent to defend
the town and hold it at all costs, for it is
an important railroad and supply center.
1t was not until yesterday afternoon that
the British were able finally to clear the
town of defenders.
Or again, a town may be so filled with
poison gas that it is impossible to occupy
it for several days after it has been eva
cuated by the enemy.
Here is where the newspaper reader who
gets his war news from the headlines only,
often deceives himself and blames it on
misleading headlines The headlines
should be but guides to what the story con-
tains, and do not pretend to convey all the
facts.

NOT PLEASANT READING.

Anyone looking for pleasant reading
should avoid the report of the senate com
nittee appointed to investigate the air
craft program of the war department.
The full report of the committee is now
available, and it is the one big blot on the
record of American war preparations to
date. 1t is story of inefficiency, bungl-
ing, jealousy, indecision and perhaps ac-
tual graft, relieved by but occasional
glimpses of real accomplishment
The report of the Hughes committee ap-
pointed by President Wilson is yet to come,
! but the senate committee report goes far
enough to show that many of the charges
brought against those in charge of the air
craft program are well founded.
Tuesday Secretary Baker took the step
that should have been taken year and a
half ago, and conferred upon John D. Ryan
powers that make him virtually cabinet
minister in charge of the aircraft produc-
ton. With one man control, and with a
member Of the Presidents cabinet in direct
charge of the department of aeronautics,
hundreds of millions of dollars, priceless
months of time, and scores of lives lost in
testing defective machines, might have
been saved.

THE HINDENBURG LINE.

By the time the Germans reach the much
discussed Hindenburg line, they may find
that it has ceased to exist in so far as it is a
formidable defensive barrier, and they may
find the eagerly hoped for respite denied
them
The Hindenburg line, of course, is a we'll
prepared system of trenches organized in
front Of series of important railroad and
highway centers, such as Lille, Douai, Cam
brai, st. Quentin and La Fere. The
trenches have been carefully prepared,
many of them built of concrete with con-
crete dugouts. Each of the big supply
centers is connected with the sector of
trench it serves with a network Of roads
and railways.
Such a line, if the positions are well
chosen, and if it is strongly defended, is a
most formidable barrier in trench warfare
such as prevailed a year ago.
But it is very doubtful if it will offer
any such barrier in the present battle if
General Foch is able to keep the Germans
moving as they have been doing for the
last month. The Hindenburg line, in fact,
has already been pierced to depth of sew
eraI miles in front of Arras. If that breach
can be held and widened, it will destroy a
very great part of the defensive value of
the line, for it will leave it open to the
constant menace of an outflanking move
ment.
There is little doubt now, but that the
Germans are retiring to this line. The
taking Of Bapaume and Ham, and the inn
pending fall of Peronne, destroy the last
defenses until the famous line is reached,
but the British thrust east of Arras has
robbed the line of half its terrors to the
Allies and half the security it offers the
hard-pressed Germans.

War Oratory That Will Live
1.-THE World Must BE Made Safe for Democracy
Picked by English Paper.

1.-THE World Must Be Made Safe for Democracy"
Picked by English Paper.
From The Manchester Guardian.
How much of the war oratory that has flood
ed us since 1914 will live? Most Of it has per-
ished already; there are not even many single
phrases that have stuck in the memory. Mr.
AsquitIl's I'VE shall not sheathe the sword" is an
exception.
But the only war time oratory which has the
suggestion OF posterty about it is that OF Presi-
dent Wilson. Such phrase as The world must
be made safe for democracy" is already merged
so completely into national sentiment, has
become the common idea of many millions
Of Allied peoples, that we have ceased 70 attrib-
ute individual authorship to it, just because 1T
now belongs to everybody. 1t is, of course Presi-
dent Wilson'S phrase uttered in his address to
congress in April, 1917. And here are a few
more Of the Presidents epigrarns that are likely
to live:
sThis is noswar for amateurs"
what / am opposed to is not the feeling Of
paciflsts, but their stupidity"
II believe in the ordinary man..
There Is something very fine in the spirit of
the volunteer, but deeper than the volunteer
spirit Is the spirit Of obligation
And then, Of course, there Is the notable utter
anna beginning Force force 10 the utmost force
without stint or limit perhaps the most ma
iestfe and thunderous words ever uttered by a
statesman ia the midst OF 9 great war.

Kultur's Rule In Africa

Natives of German Colonies Felt Full Force of
Hun Brutality.
Harrison Rhodes of the Vigilantes
For keeping negroes at work Gin Germany's
African coloniesl the Germans found nothing SO
satisfactory as flogging, preferably with lash
Of rhinoceros hide. Sometimes when squeamish
people at home objected a ruling would be made
that only the rope should be used But, bless
your soul, if a good rope is repeatedly dipped in
tar and dried and then tipped with sharp Jagged
metal 1t is almost as effective as ''persuader"
the rawhide.
All through Africa the German colonies are
known as the lands of the Twenty-Five" mean
ing the Is lashes which it is legal to- administer
to a black. There might have been a protest
from the more virile Huns against this senti-
mental minimum, but the rs lashes could be re-
peated the same day or the next, and indeed 25
could be made to cause permanent disablement,
total nervous breakdown and even death If prop
ery laid on the victim. The rule was that the
whip must "sing" as it came through the air
and if the whipper failed to make it sung he
was himself stripped. bound hand and foot, and
well flogged. Prussian efficiency! w.
AS to the treatment of native women and even
little girls of or 10 years and native men who
dared to protest against this treatment the facts
are almost unprintable. They deal with uuspeak-
able bestialty and nameless mutilations 1t is a
chapter which could be understood in Belgium
here in happier land such human depravity is
almost unbelievable. Even the German courts
were forced to attribute much to "the strain of
tropical climate" but this was thought a quite
sufficient excuse.

Forgetfulness Cost His Life
An Observer Stepped Out of Balloon Basket
Without His Parachute.


Henry Woodhouse in Everybodys Magazine.
Lieutenant B of the Canadian balloon serv-
ice told me the following story of an officer who
forgot and went over the edge" without para
chute:
He was a widely known man in England and
his name a byword,' said Lieutenant B.
Further than that do not to go. He had
been up along with another chap in the obserYa-
ton balloon doing his work for about two hours
before we saw the storm coming. 1t looked like
rigging and cable we now, orders had
been given to haul down before the storm ar
rived
1T was near thing though everything would
have been all right had not the miXup at the
winch occurred. Just as the crew got hold of
the handling guys the winch should have
stopped. However, the brake refused to work
and the metallic wee drawn into the winch,
crushing the cable One observer had got out of
the basket and the other had taken off his para
chute. Just then the wind struck and with a
wrench parted the cable where it had been
crushed The gas Immediately lifted the crew
off the ground, and they, of course, let go. The
wind was toward the boche, and as the balloon
rose it drtfted toward the German lines
He for that is all l call him, very coolly
commenced to get rid of his instruments and
maps by throwing them overheard, and he was
not more than 5000 feet up when the last Of
the ground, the observers release themselves
from the parachute. My friend had done so. 1t
is only the work of a moment to fasten on the
parachute again, but after getting rid Of his
instruments he forgot that he had taken off his
parachute and stepped over the edge without it.
That was one of the cases where a single slip
of the memory means the difference between life
and death.
He came down like stone and was unrecog-
nzable when he struck the earth. Thus died
hearted friends I ever had-all through forget
ting just once.

A CONFESSION OF SIN.

THE time is not far distant when the
American people are going to demand that
certain rules of decency must be observed
In journalism. The policy of a certain class
Of newspapers to lie and SANDER till the
habit becomes chronic, will no longer be
tolerated. Such papers will not be stopped
by law, but by a sense of common decency.
THE world has room today for but one
great hatred, and that is the hatred Of auto
cracy in any and every form. 1t is repulsive
to civilization. The world is fighting to de-
atroy Prussan autocracy and at the same
time is being schooled to despise newspaper
autocracy and every other kind OF autocracy
at home.
Open confession of sin and promise of
reform should be met with a friendly hand
We can discern the confession of sin in
the foregoing editorial in this morning s
issue of Mr.. Townley's Brewery Organ, but
does the last paragraph also mean renun-
citation Of Townleyism and the formal sew.

..ENTEREDn AND "CAPTuREDn.

If Fargo were surrounded by enemy
forces, when could it be said to be ,'cap-
turad"7
The answer to that question may ex-
plain why some towns are mentioned in
the dispatches as being captured day or
two days after the average headline reader
thought they were in Allied hands.
For example, if enemy patrols should
reach the pumping station, it could be
ttuthfully said that they had entered "
Fargo. But if Fargo citizens resisted their
advance and fought from house to house
through the south side with machine guns,

announced that Fargo had been Occur

WHAT TowNLEY SELLS BREWERS.

Suppose that in Minnesota such condl-
ton as this should arise at the fall cleo
ton:
With a total vote of 100000 900 vot-
ers should favor prohibition by constltu-
tional amendment; $4,000 should vote
against it; and 10000 should fail to ex-
press their sentiments.
That would give prohibition majority
of the votes cast on the amendment, but 1t
would lack a majority of the total votes
cast at the election, which is necessary to
pass the amendment, under the Minnesota
laws.
/ Such an outcome is far from being inn
probable. Without having the exact sta
tigtics available-and they are not i'm
portant in this instance-it would be safe
, to say that the majority of the constitu-
tional amendments that have failed to be-
come law in Minnesota in the last 10 years.
| had a majority Of the votes cast on the
amendments themselves.
In such an event, what would Mr.. Town
iley's third candidate" do, provided the
i legislature enacted statutary prohibition
Would he keep his pledge to the brewers
and veto ito
That pledge is worth 10000 to 10000
votes to the brewers of Minnesota. The
foregoing figures show how the drys might
carry the state by 10000 votes, elect dry
legislature and yet fail to get prohibition if
Mr.. Townley's brewery candidate should be
elected.
, In return for 10000 to 10000 votes, the
brewers ought to be able to come through
handsomely toward the expenses of Mr..
Townley's fall campaign. The primary
was an expensive fight for the Townley
gtrongbox, and proved total loss.
Evans and his beer cask are likely to
become as famous, or as Infamous, as Lind
bergh and his book.

The Valley City Times Record discusses tn
third candidate" in Minnesota as follows:
THE labor interests Of Minnesota made
the greatest mistake of their lives when
they nominated a man for governor on
anti-prohibtnon ticket. The labor people
were not satisfied with either Governor
Burnquist, the present governor and who
renominated in June after one of the
most spectacular political battles in the
state, and they were not satisfied with the
candidacy of Wheaton, nominated by the
Democrats. The Nonpartisan league fell
lows. smarting under the defeat admins
tered to them in the June primaries, have
been handing the nomination of governor
around on platter to many prominent men
in Minnesota who have refused the offer
to become the candidate of the league or
the labor organizations who are going hand
in hand to force a third candidate on the
ticket in Minnesota. 1t is all right TO put
up a candidate if they put up the right kind
kind of a platform for that candidate to run
But in this case labor has gone on rec
ord favoring the veto of any prohibition
measure that might be passed by the Min
nesota legislature and Mr.. Evans, nominal
cd by organized labor as a candidate for
governor was told he could have the nomi-
nation if he would pledge himself to veto
legislature. The United States government
is trying to get national prohibition passed
during the war and it would seem to us
that the action of the Minnesota labor lead
ers at this time is decidedly unpatrlotic and
i'll advised under the circumstances and we
are inclined to think that Mr. Evans will do
a very IoOlSn LnlnS II ne accepts the nOnll-
nation under these conditions. This is no
time to bring personal feelings to the top on
the liquor question-but it is the time for
the whole people to get behind the govern
ment in saving grains to prosecute the war
and in addition to that should Mr.. Evans
accept the call and be elected he would go
into the office with a collar around his neck
to start with and be branded as a man who
has been dictated to in order to gain a
political office that carries so much prestige
as that of being governor Of Minnesota. In
our humble Judgment the labor forces Of
Minnesota have lost many hundreds of votes
by their attitude on the liquor question
alone.
