WOMEN'S PART IN WAR.

Shall we say that women contrib
ute only the bandages, the socks
and the kits? No, they contrib
ute the fighters What sort of SOL
dierS will the women of the present
day contribute to the nation and the
world? Can they hope to be cap
able mothers or efficient wives if
they are enfeebled and broken down
by the diseases and weaknesses of
the sex?
An affection confined to women
must have its cause m the woman
ly nature. There is no doubt that
a diseased condition of the delicate
womanly organs, is in general re-
sponsible for feminine nervousness
and an undermined constitution.
The use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription makes women happy by
making them healthy. There are no
more crying spells. "Favorite Pre-
scription" is for inflammation and
female weakness. 1t makes weak
women strong.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is and has been for nearly 50 years
just the medicine. 1t is not a Sc
cret prescription, for its ingredients
are printed on the wrapper; it's a
temperance medicine, a glyceric eX-
tract from roots.-Adv.

the Potsdam policy upon British
opinion by assuring him Russia was
not ready and Germany must sim
ply risk it, This belief as to Rus
sian unreadinesS caused us to stim-
ulate Count Berchtold to the great
est possible energy
Meanwhile, the attitude OF Eng
land was absolutely pacific, and the
English press protested against the
political exploitation of the Sara
jevo murders (of the Austrian crown
prince and wife), but it sternly re-
proved the crime. 1t at once under
stood that the ultimatum which un-
der stimulation from Berlin Count
Berchtold had launched at Serbia,
meant war. Still Sir Edward Grey,
as he then was, did not despair, and
the former German ambassador
bears the strongest testimony to the
sincerity OF Sir Edwards unweary-
ing efforts to avert this war which
the Germans caluminously assert lie
provoked
THE prince declares that 1t
would have beetn easy to find an ac-
ceptable solution ior the two rela-
lively small points left in dispuate
between Vienna and Belgrade, and
that given good will, everything
could have been settled in one or
two sittings OF the body proposed
by Sir Edward.
Hint From Berlin Didn't Come.
"a hint from Berlin would have
been enough to make Count Bcrch.
told less satisfied with a diplomatic
success and to cause his acquies-
cence in the Serbian reply What
happened?
"ThiS hint was not given, on the
contrary we pressed for war Sir
Edward beSought Germany to make
proposal OF her own; we insisted
upon war The Russian foreign
minister made urgent appeals and
definite declarations and later the
Russian emperor sent positively
humble kilograms in vain. Berlin
went on insisting that Serbia must
be massacred.'
AT last, Count Bcrchtold himself
wavered. He had hitherto stayed
the strong man on instructions
from Berlin and he decided TO
change his course Then Germany
cut short all hopes of peace by her
self declaring war.
prince Lichnowsky speaks of the
perhdy' of the policy, but it is not
chiefly upon sentimental or even
upon moral grounds that he CON
demned the German system. 1t is
the folly rather than the wickeduess
OF German statecraft which he rep
robates, 1t is quite unnecessary, he
insists, for Germany to trouble herr
self about Austria. Austria Hungary
might have been turned into a vas
sal of the German empire without
an alliance at all Germany could
always keep her in tow by cultivat-
ing good relations with Russia.

Government Control To
Continue )! After War

Washington, March 5.-Govern-
ment control and operation of rail-
roads probably will continue for Fl
months after the war.
A tentative agreement fixing that
time limit was reached late today by
conferees on the railroad control bill
as a compromise for two years, pro-
posed in the house bill and Is months
in the senate. The conferees expect
their tentative agreement finally will
be presented to congress.
The conferees adjourned until to-
morrow with the important question
of rate-making still in dispute. Com
plete adjustment of differences on
the measure is expected tomorrow in
view of intimations said to have come
from President Wilson that he would
not object to the senate bills provis-
ion giving him power to initiate
rates, but retaining authority for
their final review by the interstate
commerce commission.
The conferees also finally ratified
their tentative agreement, bringing
all "short line" railroads into the
government system. The house pro-
vision for the 'tshort lines" was SUBJ
stantially adopted by the conferees in
lieu of the senate's provision which
would affect only competitive lines.

Federal Farm Loans for
Counties Not: Binding

Bismarck, March 4.-The federal
farm loan board Of Washington has
ordered the federal land bank of St.
Paul to continue making farm loans
in North Dakota in all counties that
are not bonding under the seed and
feed bonding law of this state and to
make loans in those counties which
have issued bonds on special con-
tract, according to telegraphic ad-
vices received late tonight by Attor-
ney General William LANCER from
North Dakota congressman.
As soon as it became known that
the St. Paul farm bank had declared
North Dakota ineligible for farm
loans the attorney generals office
took the matter up with Washington.
The order of the federal farm loan
board will be welcomed not only by
the farmers but by hundreds of bank
ers throughout the state who had
loaned heavily on promised farm
loans. Approximately $4,000, 900 in
farm loans were pending in the state
when the St. Paul bank declared
North Dakota ineligible and several
of the largest federal farm loan asso-
Citations of the northwest were vir-
tually put out Of business, but under
the order of the federal farm loan
board most of these loans will be made
as originally planned. g..

North Dakota Miuers
Can Grind 80 Per Cent

Fargo, March 6.-The federal food
administration yielded, a point to the
North Dakota millers yesterday
when the present ruling limiting them
to 20 per cent of their last years
monthly capacity was amended so as
to allow them to grind 80 per cent of
this capacity and so per cent of their
receipts from farmers without re-
striction. "a. ~.. - t. go.

This information was contained in a
telegram received by DR.. E.. F. Ladd,

peal made by him in behalf of: the
North Dakota millers. Several mills
had reached the end of their allot-
ments and would shave had to close
down in the next few days under the
old order. The new order will enable
them to keep running for the balance
of this month, at least.
DR.. Ladd Intervenes
DR.. Ladd interviewed for the millers
because Of the heavy demand for feed
in this section now as spring oper-
ations are about to begin. In order to
fill this demand it is necessary the
mills be kept going at normal capa-

Russians VIII Keep Up
War Against Invaders

Petrograd, March 4.-"Even with
the peace signed at Brest-Litovsk the
war will continue" Agricultural Com
missioner Kalegayef told the United
Press today. ''The sporadic revolu-
tionary war already begun through
Russia will not end.
"The country is unable to continue
a real war against Germany but a
partisan life or death struggle is pos
sible against the junkers and white
guards. 1t will be a civil class war
similar to that in Finland.
81 am convinced the German army
as such will not participate. Only
German counter revolutionists and
white guards are now fighting. We
can handle them.
Must Feed Millions
"The provinces occupied by the
Germans arc devastated. The Ger
mans must feed Russians in occupied
territory as we'll as their own army.
If the Germans occupy Petrograd they
must feed three million people. They
will need bread and won't get it. 1t
is equally true Of Ukraine. There.
fore military victory would simply
tighten the moose around the German
imperialists neck. The more starving
territories they occupy the worse will
be their own economic situation.
"If the Germans destroy the soviet
revolutionary government they must
conquer the workers and peasants o1
all Russia. They cannot do this
Therefore peace cannot, be a reality

LaddAppea'|ls'to| Hoover
To Let Mills Operate

Through DR.. E. F. Ladd, state food
administrator, the millers of North
Dakota have appealed to Herbert
Hoover, national administrator for
special permit to complete grinding
their full quota for the present fiscal
year without a stop. Under the pres
ent order the mills have to discontinue
grinding when their allotments have
been used for the month, which is 20
per cent of last years run.
s. Many Ready to Stop I
Several mills have used up their
quotas for the month already and
would have to stop grinding today and
remain inactive for the balance of the
month under this ruling, What. the
mills ask it to get permission to- keep
on grinding until the fiscal years al
lotment has been completed and then
lay, up for May and June.
This appeal is based on the great
need of feed on the farms of the
northwest for spring work and the
necessity of providing this feed stock
now while the farmers have time to
haul it from the mills to the farms.
After the spring work is done on the
farms not so much feed will be needed
and the mills can then better afford
to lay idle, the millers claim.
Matter Before Hoover 49,.
DR.. Ladd wired the head of the mill
ing section of the national food ad-
ministration yesterday and received
a telegram last evening from the Of
fetal saying the matter has been put
before Mr.. Hoover and that an an
swer to the request may be expected
in a short time. It is believed that
Mr.. Hoover will grant the request,
DR.. Ladd having approved it and rec
commended favorable action by. the
food admistration. r.,., E
''The farmers Of North Dakota, es-
pecially the western. part are in need
Of large quantities Of feed this spring
and the mills must supply the most of
it." said DR.. Ladd last evening. IF
they have to lie idle par tof the month
their stock will run low and the farm
ers will have to send outside the state
for it. By keeping right on grinding
now until they have used up their
quotas for the. fiscal year the. mills
will be in position to fill most Of this
demand. They can then lay up for
May and June after the state demand
has been filled.
Indorses Proposal .s-
II believe this is sensible ar
rangement and have asked the nation
al administration to give it favorable
consideration. Several milling com
panies have appealed to me during the
past few days that l take it up with
