THE HUN IRON CROSS

Get the man with the medals--hes the NOR
ae!' That is the advice of military experts, to
be followed in charge or hand to-hand encounter.
The chap with scrap in his heart and his heart
in the scrap is the one
He wears the medals because he pedals toward,
not away from, the enemy. f
/ He's bracer, set-the-pacer for the rest. He
provides an example that's ample to shame and
reclaim the grit Of the craven who wallows in
fear and follows in trepidation.
His courage keeps the others from creeping
and seeping out through their heels.
Commanders know it, which accounts for the
plentitude Of iron crosses. Medal awards for any,
thing that can be construed as bravery are an in
expensive salve to content Fritz with his slavery
in the uniform.
No matter how half-baked or all-faked the deed
Of valor that put that decoration on the boche
breast, it influences his fellows
Though the crown prince get his chunk Of iron
for suffering the prvation of no bath in two days,

POSSESSION

II naturally follows that what actuates men
actuates nations.
A business is the heightened shadow OF man ;
a government reflects the general character OF the
governed.
In Hunmany, power is usurped by tyrannlcal
few, but the methods of the imperial German gov
eminent are an accurate index to the ways OF its
subjects. .-.
"A German household IS, in itself, complete
autocracy with despot at it's head. Its women
drudge and trudge along through life beaten and
browbeaten mere breeding machines far beneath
the level Of the brutal, hestia devil who dom'n-
ates the hearth u
The objective of both the allied and Teuton fac
tions in this universal conflict is POSSESSION.
The Hun proposes to possess world-power. His
present portion has aroused mad lust for more,
like the all-consuming ferceness Of the alcohost
thirst.
He designs to colonize, kulturize, terrorize and
Germanize the peoples of the earth.
With the allies, POSSESSION involves neither
power nor dominion. In the words Of jefferson,
to possess the right to life, LIBERTY and the pur
suit Of happiness sums up the allied platform OF
war. ~ H..
The Yank is acqutting himself valorously, and
the Hun is convicting himself decisively in this
trial of stamina and grit. #

FARGO WILL MISS HIM.

For more than thirteen years, o.
Z. McCracken has been one OF Far
go's humble but most useful citi-
zens.
Unostentatiously but most ef-
fieiently, he has gone about his job
Of seeing that everybody in Fargo
had enough food to keep soul and
body together, and enough fuel to
prevent them from freezing.
It wasn't a spectacular work that
Mr.. McCracken did, but it was about
the finest brand of Christianity there
is.
Now Mr.. McCracken is going to
France to do Y. M. c. A. work
among the soldiers. No particular
glory awaits him, and no financial
reward above bare living. He's
just going because there seems to
be more need for him over there
than over here.
They'll hiss Mr.. McCracken on
certain parts Of Front street when
next winter comes. Fargo will miss
him, for Fargo didn't know how
part Of her people lived because Mr..

The Hoover cook, who has a wide

converts to the conservation OF food,
and one Of the most ardent. A prom
inent Washington woman remarked
soon after the Hoover household was
established In the national capital:
You needn't tell me the Hoovers
save food. I know the cook, and
she couldn't be induced to econom-
ize."
Nevertheless, after a time OF sor-
row and stress OF wounded profess

Mrs. Hoover, as enthusiastic over

at that meal for the 10-year- old

Study Of the figures on sinkings

It was to be a blow az the morale
Of the allies. and evidently the sub
marines were speeded up to the last
possible notch to make the toll as
great as possible for the week, and
strike terror into France, England
and America while Hindenburg's s
armies were crashing toward Paris.
But like the land drive. the sub
marine drive was checked. During
the week It was announced that the
United States had acquired 100000
