LADIES DAY.


In March there will be four special
elections in New York State to fill vacan-
cies in the Congression delegation occa-
stoned by death and resignation. The
recently enfranchlsed women of New
York will then vote for the first time in
an electional involving party destlnc-
ton. TIE four seats have been held by
Democrats, and it will be interesting to
scan the returns from these districts as
an index of the probable atfihation of
the new voters. We magazine that the
Democratic campaign slogan will not
vary from that used in other similar cas-
es.' The voters will be adjured to stand
by the President" They will be told
that a vote Tor Republican is '.a vote
for Prussianism and for the Kaiser"
They will be camouflaged to the limit IN
all matters relating to the treatment ac-
corded their boys in camp and Garfields
fuel fast days will be lightly touched
upon. On the Republican side there
will be opportunity for the plain speak
ing which the situation demands, and
we hope there will DO no disposition to
dodge the issue.

Two or three years ago we were all

Two or three years ago we were all
using the hyphen rather commonly IN
ternationally. When the real test came
we all discovered that the hyphen did
not connect as we had thought. 1t was
impossible for man to be "German-
American" Two years ago it might al
so have been possible for an honest man
to persuade himself under the hyphoti-
sing of Prof. Townley that he could use
the hyphen politically and when the as
sessor< came around omit the first word.
But in the light of the history of the
Nonpartisan party in this state for the
last two years, no hyphen can connect it
with any other party.
A man has perfect moral, legal and
political right to be Nonpartisan, q
Democrat or Republican but it is a
plain and simple fact that no man can
ba "a Nonpartisan-republican" or a
''Nonpartisan democrat" He can be
only one Of the three. He may think
what he tells the assessor is true in his
own mind-but other people will Judge
by what man does and not what he
thinks he shlnks-and they will apply
the appropriate soubrlquet.

bable from what we know and from
what we hear, that the soldiers will get
across as soon as they are ready to go.
There are problems to be solved in get
ting them ready too and always it takes
time to make a drilled and disciplined
soldier.
We think it guess all around. But
the boys are going now, every day some,
and there are North Dakota boys "over
there and there are Pembina county
boys close to the battle fronts and we
are already reading casualty lists"
from the American front. War is COM
ing to meet MS now. 1t was six thousand
miles away last year. The wireless and
the telegraph cables make it awfully and
terribly close to-day.

PARA-GRAPHIcs.

"He kept us out of war" and "is still
keeping US out" is the remark of one
editor who has beer reading the criti-
cisms of the congressional committee re-
garding the delays in preparation for
the war.
We want to compliment the state
legislators for the short session. We do
not know what the underlying motives
that caused them to cut it short, but we
believe that the most of them acted
from purely patriotic motives. 1t would
have been easy to start big row that
necessarily must have lasted for an in
definite period.

We think that some of the authorities
in Minnesota show too much attention
to the Nonpartlsan party when they stop
proposed meetings. When you try a
man and convict him before he commits
a crime you simply put HIM in the mar
tyr class, which invariably creates pub.

as they keep within the law they have
the right. If they talk sedltion then ar
rest them. That is the proper way. In

are patriotic. Give the leaders free

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

If we should repeat what we wrote
last week as to battle line it would be
equally descriptive of the past week.
''Nothing doing" would be the slang
phrase. Yet in this quiet week of war
the British report $500 "casuaties."
Now if Germany, Austria, France and
Italy lost on an average equally, and we
add thereto similar number for the
smaller armies on other fronts then we
find that in almost the "quletest week of
the war" the '.casualty lists" would
carry from $1,000 to 10000 names. 10
this might he added a long list of nom
combatants who have died, or suffered
bodily injuries or sickness directly caus-
ed by war or war conditions. This waste
Of human life is called "attrition'' and
attrltion kills and wounds more people
than do battles.
In Congress there has been great de
bate over the war preparations. Secre-
tary Baker who has been before the SEN
ate investigating committee declares
that there will be half million of AM
erican soldiers in France in early spring
and more to follow very soon. Senator
Hitchcock declares that for the want of
SHIPS and for want of preparation that
it is physical possibility.
just what the reader may figure as to
possibilities, here are some estimates.
rIin, Jurrost pocsopoor c;>;D oAo.+ l>,,Il,,
loaned US by the kaiser. is said to have
transported oyer eight thousand troops
across in one trip. From this we think
it possible that there are at least twenty
five or thirty ocean liners that could
carry on an average about three thou
sand or four thousand men each. Or
dinarily these ships make the round trip
in from fifteen to twenty days. In war
time the convoy system and longer
courses will add soma time. Thus on
this showing, allowing twenty-five ships
as available each loaded with an aver
age OF 1000 men taking twenty to thirty
days for the round trirAthen it would be
quite possible to land 100000 men per
month in. Europe and counting the
troops already there, Secretary Bakers
estimate of half a million by. say the
first of June, would be quite possible.
But while the passenger ships could
possibly carry these men and their per-
sonal accoutriments and light equipage
1T would take at least one freight ship.
tocarry the heavy artillery, horse. auto
mobiles, ammunition, etc. from every
load Of troop passengers. Probably an
other freight ship would also be neces-
sary to carry lumber, railway material
and The thousands Of other necessary
war and shelter material as we'll as food
for.the army.
In the meantime-as now, every ship
would also be needed to transport food
and other supplies to our hungry and
needy allies across the water.
Thus the problem Of fsrrylng 500, 600
soldier over four thousand miles Of water
IS not : small ono. But itis quite pro- 81, !

Huns Do Not Yet Realize
 Part the United States
 Would Have Played

With the Franco American Army of Occupation, Tuesday. December 2A-tBy the Associated Press.)-General Mangin said today it was doubtful if the Ger mans yet realized the. enormous part the Americans would have played in the war had they been given the opportunity. To the American correspondents, whom he invited to a Christmas luncheon at his headquarters at Mayence, General Mangin praised the work of the Ameri- cans, especially those divisions which had fought under him.
 The general pointed out how the Ger mans were now fighting to win the favor of the foe from across the sea, saving that their propa gandists were picturing President Wilson in the benignest tones, instead of declaring that he was attempt ing to run the world" as they had pre- viousy done.

The spirit of unselfiShneSs was abroad as never before. The trials which the nation had endured in the anxious months before Germany was beaten to her knees apparently had purged the city's millions of petty desires and taught them the true joy of giving.
 From the Bowery to Fifth avenue, New Workers joined in common celebration.
 Soldiers and sailors were feted at every hand, and while the celebration centered on the military. the civilian poor were not neglected Welfare organiza- tions entertained thousands from dawn until far into the night and countless men and women. without formal alliance took boys in khaki and blue into their homes to share their own cheer. The spirit of giving reached even to the water front, where, on the giant Leviathan and other ships, thousands of orphaned chill dren were made to feel that Santa Claus was indeed very real person.
 MESS ROOMS DECORATED.
 In the Hudson. where the home fleet lay at anchor ready to welcome tomorrow the American warships returning from overseas, approximately 10000 sailors ate their Christmas dinner at noon in mess rooms gaily decorated with holly and wreaths The meal ended, the bluejack cts joined in singing carols and later cleared the hall for stag dances, made possible by jazz bands organized, among the crews.
 The men were given shore liberty, but many strangers in this port, preferred to remain aboard for dinner. Later, how ever, cutters darted from warships to landing stage and by dusk only skeleton crews remained aboard.
 Tonight great Christmas trees. abaze with electric bulbs, were scattered through the ctys squares from the Bat tery to the Bronx and grouped around each tree were thousands who, in giving
