NO CORRESPONDENTS ALLOWED

Sewspapermen who do not carry the red card OF
Socialism and Bolshevism. and, therefore, the only news
papermen worth while in America, have been denied tho
privilege, if such it could be called, of attending and re-
porting the convention Of the National Nonpartisan
league now meeting in st. Paul. Only newspapermen
connected with the organization will be admitted. and
they will go through their regular performance of jump
est and of deceiving the farmers Of the Northwest.
Townley's kept press" will have everything to itself,
and there will be much camouflaging, much shouting
from behind their pillars of suspicious propaganda. Ev-
cry other political convention makes special arrange
ments for the press and no one is denied. Not So the
league, for reporters on papers not controlled by Town
ley tell the facts, and the facts have got the Nonpartisan
folk into considerable trouble heretofore.

SEND THEM BACK

There are in 4 Grand Forks county, it is authoritatively
stated, several forcign-born men who renowned their cit-
zenship to escape military duty under the flag Of their
labored and had their being, seeking here the asylum
that all towards, all weaklings. all parasites seek. But
there is no asylum within the borders Of North Dakota
for such, no corner into which they can stink and seek
forgetfulness, for the great searchlight Of service and Of
Americanism is everywhere throwing its rays, and these
where men can revile them. But they should not
be allowed to remain! They sought freedom from mill
tary service, so the freedom they secured here should be
taken away from them. Deportation should be their
fate, and they should be made to carry with them the
badge OF the coward.
At a time when life seemed dark and tyranny crush
ing, America welcomed these men. To the great Melt
ing Tot they came-came for happiness, for peace, for
They found here the things they had been de-
MED at home; they found here the right to live their own
lives as they saw fit, to enjoy the fruits of their labors,
to live and to let live. They found a government that
them unto itself and made them part of it. Citizenship,
the highest gift in the hands of the government, was
theirs, and they accepted it. But what a pitiful use they
made of it! What weaklings, what towards, what trait
ors were they! In the hour Of its need they deserted the
country Of their adoption and renowned their citizen
it should be in the country Of their birth, where, If there
still are patriots in all lands, they will live forever under
a shadow. America is not for them!

OUR NATIONAL INDIGESTION

immigration into the United States, which in 1916
had reached it's high record Of more than twelve hun
dred thousand, has now almost ceased. 1t is difficult to
foretell what the movement Americaward will be after
the peace settlement: but that it will not soon reach its
old record seems certain.
But even il no more human raw material comes
hither for the next decade, America has an undisested
treatment There are in America today five million
persons over sixteen who can neither speak. read nor
write the language of the country; and what is yet
worse, have no particular care to learn.
1t is a rule quite invariable. that after an immigrant
has passed three or four years in America without ac-
auiring the language of America, he settles down salts
fled with himself as he is. He finds congenial COM
partnership with those who speak his old tongue; they
flock together and by reason Of their Ignorance are shut
of from American influences and so perpetuate in
definitely their foreign thoughts and foreign ways.
Five million alien minds settled down in alien ways
in the midst OF any nation, constitute a serious case
would not present so difficult a problem, for a consider
able part Of such an immigration would be ambitious
to become American.
This five million has no inherent or invested right
lin its. aloofness. 1t is just as much within the province
of the United States government to draft this five mil
lion of hostile tongue into school-day school, night
school, shop classes-as it is to draft four million of the
best young men Of the nation to go abroad and fight.
Plans are now being laid for national legislation that
will give these undigested foreigners an education in
English equal to that of the fourth grade of the Amer
lean public school.
Teaching English to an indigestble alien In Amer
lea will not train him to think in English nor to love
institutions. But it will open a door to his
mind that he cannot shut. He will hear in English be-
cause ne cannot help but hear, and hearing he will get
truths about America that he would not have received
through his own tongue. He will speak English more
or less. because he can do better business in that tongue.

ISOLATED Press. 1.-THE tenth French
army on its way to the Rhine and
Mayence, has crossed the German
frontier of 1870. occupying the valley
of the Sarre. The advance into Ger

dent and appears likely to be carried
out in perfect order and quiet.
The population of the district thus

WOMEN
TO A WORK

With the war labor supplying ma
chinery of the war equipment or the
employment service reversed to meet
the reconstruction needs. there need
be no serious problem of unemploy-
ment for women who have been n
gagged in war work or for returning
soldiers whose places have been taken
by women. The one necessity is that
employers and employees, whether
scrub woman or professor. utilize the
nationwide facilities the government
has provided. "
There remains the new factor Of
the woman who has been urged to
take a mans place. Widespread pres
sure to this end really began only with
the recent draft, which had scarcely
started to operate. The great num-
Der Of women on war work have been
transferred merely from less to more
essential industry. Like the gas
ma SIX workers, these women will
naturally go back to their old trades.
The number of women who have
taken mems places is larger, meas
urcd by the number who previously
had taken similar work in an equal
length of time.
A few hundred uniformed women

where publicity is facile have made a

BON VOYAGE

President Wilson, with his fourteen principles
tucked avay in a wardrobe trunk, has sailed for France.
He has gone and left the senate behind. With him are
his personally appointed and personally approved peace
delegates, who are to sit around the table at Versailles
and help determine the future Of the peoples OF the
world. They, too, have copies of the fourteen principles
and If they have not mastered them by this time. they
will have ample opportunity to do SO aboard the George
Washington.
But that is not all! At the last moment, the presi-
Versailles conference for a year. With him he takes the
twenty-three members of an advisory commission, who
have made a special study of the political and economic
conditions in Europe and Asia and who have gathered
tons Of material for reference and for submission at the
peace conference. Under the direction of Colonel E. NJ.
House, the presidents confidential adviser, these many
have made an exhaustive inquiry into all European at
fairs, have gathered data of every description and have
prepared innumerable maps showing the boundaries OF
European countries under varying conditions, the dis
tribution of population, religion, economic activities and
distribution Of commercial activities. Some Of this ma
terial already is on it's way to France, but most of it
went on the George Washington.
The president evidently planned on playing a role of
sort Of leadership for America in mind, and he evidently
able to the preservation of future peace and security.
1t now remains to be seen what England and France
have done. Statesmen of those countries have some
ideas as to the peace protocol.
In the meantime, we wish the president bon voyage.
May the seas be, smooth and his journey pleasant, and
may he receive the reception his heart desires.

THE CROWN PRINCE CONFESSES

The former German crown prince, like his fugitive
father, talks as much as ever, but is telling a different
story. His latest tale, reported by a correspondent in
Holland, is far different from the tales Of heroism that
were distributed throughout Germany in the early days
Of the war, tales that accompanied pictures Of the crown
prince in all sorts of heroic poses and which were in
tended to make his people worship him.
II am convinced" the crown prince is reported as
saying, that We lost the war early in October, 1914. 1
considered our position hopeless after the Battle of the
Marne."
1t has taken the crown prince a long time to dis
cover that, but such is the truth. Germany lost the war
in those critical days Of the Marine, but the crown prince
and the rest of the Hohenzollern miitarists did not
know it.
The crown prince is the German general who hurl-
ed thousands of men against the French at Verdun, put
he could not break the indomitable spirit of the Poilus.
Thousands of men fell in those six months of blood and
death, but the crown prince. even then, would not admit
that the war was lost. Into the fray he hurled them,
wave after wave of gray hordes. till they died like rats
in the turbulent falls of destruction, and still the French
held out.
In the battles Of the Somme, when the great spirit
that is English arose out of the mist and hung menac-
ingly over the Teutons, the crown prince would not admit
defeat. Last spring, when the gray waves were sweep
ing again over France, he did much shouting Of victory,
but now, with his dreams and hopes ending in the mirage
OF dead and broken things, he curries favor of the world
by saying that he urged peace when Won kluck blum
.dered and the German army was hurled back. They told
the crown prince to mind his own business at thatstime,
and. poor fellow. he did the best he could in the way of
slaughter. for that is the business he had been trained
for. But what has it availed him? Nothing. but the
world much, for the world never will have to see him
upon the throne of Germany.
