NO NANNY PAMBY WAR-MAKlNG WILL DO

AT recent meeting Of "four-minute' men
somebody said that there is too mulch begerence in
the talk about Germany-too much talk about beat
ing Germany to her knees, too much hate too much
talk about making peace in conquered Berlin.
1t is to be hoped that this Miss Nancy, whoever
he was, will find few to agree with him.
Germany is not nation that can be fought with
padded gloves and a stuffed club
Germany stands squarely in the way of world
peace and world security and world honesty Ger
many stands today for everything that makes for
!awlessness and piracy and disorder in the world
If the world would have peace Of law and order
and justice. this br gand among nations should be
beaten out of the highway where it stands blocking
the way to such a peace.
When it comes to hate, that is an emotion that
it docs nobody any good to harbor yet if a nation
in all history richly earned the world s btterest
hate. Germany has,
We had hoped that the German people would do
this task for We may, if we can be so sanguine
as that still nurse that hope. But it would be sui
cidal to rely on it.
The only way to peace is over the PROSTATE form
OF German autocracy and German militarsm The
only language German autocracy and German mil
tarlsm can understand is the language spoken by
bombs, rifles and great guns.
That way to peace cannot be gained by namby-
PANTY war methods. 8It can be won only by sledge-
hammer blows with an the might Of the nation be-
hind them. He who seeks to restrain the strong
right that is delivering these blows is one whose

OUR NEW CONSTITUTION

Equity, national periodical Of more or less i'll
uencc and circulation which is devoted to govern
mental reform, publishes in the current ISSUE a
rather interesting ''modcl constitution which we
are informed is devised especially to meet the needs
Of North Dakota. In what particular North Ia
kota's needs differ from those of any other com
monweath? '|Equity' does not undertake to- OK
plain but it is quite evident that this eastern maya
zine is convinced that our present constitution is an
tiqlatcd and misfit, for its ''modc constitution
would provide for the immediate repeal of the pres
cnt bulwark of liberties, except that such provl
sions as may not be expressly repealed by staturc
or by implication, may continue to have the force
and effect of statutory law.
The Tribune presents digest Of this ''model con
stituton' in it's news columns. We are advised that
this model is based on draft recently made for
New York state We fail to sec where our present
constitution has been improved upon unless the re
duction of the number Of members Of the state as
semlIy from some 10 to 10 may be regarded an
i'm provcment. The Equity's constitution appears to
be very largely confined to the initiative referen
dun and recall, for all of which equally excellent
provision is made in present constitution On
the other hand the constitution under which North
Dakota has managed to exist satisfactorily for more
than a generation covers many worthy points which
are not mentioned at all in this twentieth century
model incidentally, the long-hared young re-
formers who presumng to know what is best for
North Dakota in the way of constitution, actually
know little Of the state that they ignorant of
the very existence Of Grant county We suggest
that this further example of the general cussedness
Of the eastern Except press be made the sub cct Of
proper resolutions when the Grant county defense
council again convcnes at Carson.

Years past. We find it hard to bear. 1t less
difficult for them. And the fact that they have
chosen to continue to bear this daily desoaton
rather than to accept the sham substitutes for last
ing peace which have been offered by the German
arisocracy is the best possible earnest Of the high
motives which have actuated our allies all through
these long dismal years while America has stood
back, hoping against hope that she might not be

Did the German war lords have advance information
from &ympathiZcrs and agents in the United States

were quickly alongside for rescue
work when the torpedo struck.
The first news was given here in
terse announcement from the war
department.
The Number Aboard.
The state departments dispatch
gave the number of soldiers on board
as 2,173, six less than the war depart
ment's report. 1t told of plans prompt
lv made for caring for the survivors,
The state department issued this
statement: Zs@ ...s....'-.
The latest advices received by the
state department from the embassy at
London regarding the Tuscania is that
at II p. M, February 6, the latest in.
formation was that 1912 officers and
men on the Tuscania were accounted
for out of 2,173.
"The ambassador has sent an assis.
tant military attache and another
army officer to Belfast, Ireland. Rep.
resentatives of the American Red
Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A. also have
gone, with full power to spend all the
money needed and authorizations
from the British Red Cross to use
their equipment at Belfast The am
ambassador further reports that the
Lord Mayor of Belfast is giving all
the aid possible"
First to Be Sunk
The Tuscania was the first ship
carrying American troops to Europe
to be sunk ny German submarines,
but the American transport Antilles,
was torpedoed and sunk in the war
zone while returning to the United
States from France and fourteen SOL
diers were lost with 1855 other per-
sons, including several members of
the navy armed guard.
American warships conveying trays
ports last June twice fought off sub
marine attacks. Since then, however,
there has been no report of attack on
a ship carrying American troops to
Europe. ,. ;v...
Recently the navy department has
feared that the Germans would make
an effort to intercept transports and
call of many of the submarines to
their bases being interpreted as pre-
liminary to campaign.
Bound for England.
The position of the Tuscania when
she was sunk is taken to indicate thar
she was bound to England. Her sink
ing definitely discloses that British
ships are being used to carry Ameri-
can troops abroad supplementing Am
erican transport tonnage. This fact
has been intimated before and prob
ably arises from the decision of tho
supreme war council to make every
effort to augment General Persing's
army during the present year.
Navy officials have insisted that de-
spite the most careful plans and ef-
forts to safeguard transports, there
was always chance that troop ship
would stumble upon a lurking SUBJ
marine and the general benei ", . ut
was that this is what had happened
in this case.
Life Saving Apparatus

American troops on a British vessel

Washington, d. c., Feb. 1.-The
Cunard liner Tuscania, carrying
2,179 American soldiers, has been
torpedoed and sunk off the Irish
coast, but official reports late to
night said 1912 Of the officers and
men had been saved and indicated
that the list Of rescued might
prove even larger. The troops.
composed chiefly Of dctachments
Of Michigan and Wisconsin Nat
ional euardsmen, were travelling
on the T'lscania, a British vessel,
under convoy Of British warships.
Disaster Briefly Told.
A brief dispatch to the war de-
partment from London carly this
evening announced the disaster
and reported the landing OF, only
LOO survivors. This was made
public shortly after 10 o'clock and for
more than two hours it was feared
that probably 1,40O men, including
members of the liners crew, had gone
down.
When message came to the state
department from the embassy at Lon
don saying at II o'clock tonight 1912
Of the Americans had been accounted
for, the Joy of of1iials almost swept
away the distress occasioned by the
earlier news. The first 100 surviv-
ors were landed at Larne and Bun.

ports and this, coupled with the evil
dent fact that rescue ships were at
hand quickly, gave rise to hope that
nearly everybody on board the Tus-
cania, except those injured by the ex-
plosion might have been saved.
President Up Late. -
The president, Secretary Baker, and
in fact all official Washington were
up late waiting for further news. Only
the briefest dispatches were received,
and none gave details of the attack
on the liner Even the time was miss

Because of the nature of the mill
tary organizations carried by the ship

it would be impossible to say definite

list of survivors was received. Later,
however, the adjutant generals Office
