There is one man in the "Y" work,
just returned from France. who
believes firmly that before very long
the truth regarding the real worth
of the associations work in Europe
will be Understood by, people every
where. His name is Harry p. Moore
head of Baltimore, who was formerly
at o and at huts in this camp.
THE best and quickest way for
the people to learn the truth" said
Mr. Moorehead, "is for Gen. Pershing
or somebody in authority to appoint
a military committee to investigate
and report on the work of the "

operation Of the Army canteens,
which were taken over. at the re-
quest of the Army. It should be an
Army committee, not one of the
Y. M c.. A., which might be preju-
diced Millions of American mothers
and fathers deserve % know"
Mr.. Moorehead said he had been
talking to a number of ~" men about
the complaints against the associa-
ton and they all felt that a military
committee was the proper one to pass
upon the merits or dement's of the
workers. They all wanted the truth
to come out They realized that re-
turning soldiers had many misunder--
standings concerning prices charged
in the Army canteenS. These same
men who complained would come to
indorse the work. once they knew
the reasons which made the prices
necessary.

Editorial.
Did the "Y" Fail?
BY w. HOWARD HAYNES.
Editor Of Trench and Camp.


Every dictate of fairness and
reason declares that a commits
sion be appointed to pass upon
the work of the Y. M. c. A.,
especially in regard to the char
acter of service rendered in the
conduct of the Army canteens.
Just as surely this commission
should be of military char
acter. Secretary Moorehead, an
overseas man, makes the recon-
mendation.
Public confidence, now shaken
by reports of high prices charged
soldiers in the canteens, would
be at once restored were Gen.
Pershing to receive favorable
report from commission of Of
ficers and enlisted men. No re-
port from the "Y" itself would
satisfy the peoples demands.
Millions who backed the work
with their money want to know
now what the Army's verdict is.
Who else can be the Judge?
Il know, as does everybody
who catches the spirit behind
this great>world movement, that
the motive power of the "Y" is
service, The supplying of cigar,
cites was not the thing which
took thousands of men to every
army in Europe. Those men
wanted to do something for God,
for country and for humanity,
and. the "Y", was the means
through which they could work.
Cigarettes could have been
bought and sent to the Army
mess sergeants for distribution,
but who would have brought the
fun, the games, the friendly
hand which the boys say was in
dispensable?
But the price of the. cigarette
was the thing which did count.
This was, a part of the service
rendered the Army, and it should
be known how the price was de-
cided on. The "Y" has told the
country that freight charges
made necessary the difference in
prices between the quartermas-
ter stores and the "Y" canteens.
Every soldier does not know
this.
The thoughtless soldier who
tells of high prices charged by
the "Y" does not understand the
reasons which made the prices
necessary and he does not know
that even six months ago more
than ST. 100000 worth Of tobacco
had been given away in the
front lines by the association.
This free service under fire was
continued to the end.
+ Justice! Justice y cry the
souls of those who died in this
service and the thousands who
labored with them and survived,
the countless soldiers who know
what was done, the officers who
praise its morale building power
and the mothers of the fighting
men who thank God that "the
.Y'" was there" With one
voice, they say, LET us have a
detailed report from a response
bic commission of the Army,
that the success or failure of the
work may be known!"
"Y" men who believe in real
democracy here as elsewhere
stand confident of vindication,
and want the truth revealed. Ii
there were faults and men who
did not do their duty we want
to see them, that the system
may be righted.

Advertise The W. S. S.
BY GeIett Burgess Of the VigiIantes.
Do you own store in your town?

Do you own a store in your town?
If not, you borrow a window in one?
If so, help advertise the War Savings Cam
paign
Nothing succeeds like the appeal to the eye
The earliest signs were always. pictorial. An
inn was called THE Red Lion because in the
old days few could read, but all could under
stand a picture Of a red lion the sign board
and so indemnity the place.
Now, what must be lvisualized in the w. S. S.
campaign is the use that is to be made Of the
money raised by the sale Of stamps. That use is
Of course the arrning, equipping and trans
porting Of troops to win the war.
How can this be advertised so that everyone
will understand it?
Let me suggest one method of window display.
Any patriotic firm construct and exhibit it.
Any patriotic citizen can do the same, once he
has obtained the use Of a window.
Here's the Idea: isn't it simple? Isn't it ef-
fective?
Make of cardboard model Of a transport as
complete as possible; and cover the ship with
War Savings Stamps. Fill the decks with toy
soldiers, lead, or even paper. Place your ship
on a blowy sea Of bright blue bunting or cheese
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS WILL CARRY The
BOYS ACROSS!"
You will see, Of course, any number of modi-
fcations Of this scheme. You can build bridge
from THE u. S." to France and cover it with
war savings stamps, and place toy soldiers
marching across. For this, the same legend will
tanks automobiles. Cover each one with
stamps, to show that 1t is for just such things
that the w s. S. campaign Is being waged.
1t Is needless to saw that after the models
have served their purpose, the stamps may be
easily soaked off and pasted on cards and turn
ed in for the big stamps.
See that there is such display-as many as
possible-in your town. Keep the purpose of the
stamp campaign in constant view and the sales
will be steadily increased. Don't dwell on the
Thrift aspect Of 1t just now; that is we'll under
stood. What must have a good visual punch"
is the fact that the Government needs the money

THE NEW ARMY PROGRAM.

Within the next few weeks the war de-
partment plans to announce new and
enlarged program for the army.
The first class of drafted men is rapidly
nearing exhaustion, and it will soon be-
come necessary either to call upon the sec
ond class or to extend the age limits.
It is believed that the latter alternative
will be chosen.
Gossip in Washington is to the effect
that the new war program will include the
following main features:
Extension Of the draft age limits.
Military and vocational training for all
youths under draft age limits.
Revision Of the entire plan of training
officers and men for the national army.
The officers training camps may again
be opened to civilians under certain re-
gtrictions. The camps will be continuous
with new classes entering every two weeks,
and when the first course is completed,
there will be classes graduating every two
weeks. Many of these officers will be
taken from the ranks, but there will also
be restricted number Of men from civilian
life who have special qualifications.
The vocational and military training for
youths will insure constant reservoir of
trained men who will be well advanced in
military training when they reach the draft
age.
The extension Of the draft ages and the
new men coming Of age would probably
provide an ample supply Of man power to
permit even the great expansion in the
army which is planned, without calling on
any but the men in Glass One.
If this ii the general outline Of the plan,
and il seems probable that it is, it has
everything 10 recommend It and little to-
criticize

A SIBERIAN REPUBLIC.

The occupation Of Moscow by the Ger
mans is not only possibility but proba-
bility Of the near future and almost any
day may bring the announcement that the
historic capital has been captured by the
Kaiser's troops.
The murder Of the German ambassador
will be made the excuse for the move. The
Bolshevik government will make the most
abieot offers and will consent toany terms,
however humiliating but there is good rea-
son to believe that Germany will decide
that Moscow and perhaps Petrograd need
to have "order restored" and Russia as
an independent European state may cease
to exist before many weeks have passed.
The hope of the Allies lies in Siberia.
With the aid Of Japan and the Czecho-
Slovak tropos, the Allies might establish
an independent republic in Siberia that
would rally to it's standard the best that
remains in Russian life. If there were
hope Of a stable government there, the
loyal citizens of Russia, sick Of the disorder
and terror Of Bolshevik rule, and resent
ing the dsgraceful trucking to the Ger
man domination displayed in the Brest-
Litovsk treaty, would flock to the. new
standard.
If Russia is not to sink into hopeless an
archy and chaos which will continue until
Germany gets the time and opportunity to
Prussianize it properly, beginning must
be made at once toward establishing some
orderly government. A Siberian republic
under Allied protection seems to offer the
only hope.
The responsibility for the move is al
most wholly America s. France and Great
Britain are ready to intervene, and Japan
is patiently awaiting the word. The mo-
tive of the Japanese has been questioned
by many, but her conduct has been ire
proachable, and she has kept her hands off
when her own interests were endangered,
waiting the permission of the Allies to act.
If the Germans do occupy Moscow inter
vention can not be delayed longer and even
now there seems no alternative.

SHOULD RETURN COMPLIMENT.

We must not permit the French to out
do us in courtesy.
Our gallant allies observed the Fourth
of July as if it had been their own indie
pendence day. It was spontaneous COM
pIiment that came from the heart Of the
French nation.
On July IA the French commemorate the
fall of the Bastille. The event, in itself,
was not of great Importance as it was but
a skirmish in the course Of the French
revolution, but it came to symbolic the
dawn of the new era in France. Bastile
day is looked upon as the French indie
pendence day.
It is not necessary to declare a holiday.
We could serve France and the Allied
cause much better by eliminating all holi-
days possible, but it is fitting that we
should not permit the day to pass without
some gracious response to the compliment
France has paid us.
In Fargo we are going to do our share
in this little tribute. Let us add to it by
flying the Tri-color from as many flag
STATS as possible on that day.

WILLING TO "PLAY FAIR.

Directors Of the Union Light, Heat &
Power company showed disposition to
"play fair" in the offer published in The
Forum last evening
The company agrees to abide by the
rates established as fair by the state rail
road commission in the appeal taken by
the city from the recent increase. 1t also
pledges itself, in case the rates fixed are
lower than those announced to take eff
feet this month, to refund the difference
to the consumers.
The offer is based on justice and fair
play.
The one aim now should be to make the
hearing a dispassionate and scientific
search for the facts. Fargo consumers
have no desire merely to "punish' the
company. They are not asking light,
power and gas at less than cost, but they
do demand and justly SO, that the COM
pany should content itself with the mar
rowest wartime profits that sound financ-
ing will permit.
One feature of the hearing the Fargo
city commission should bear in mind. The
company will appear with its case well pre-
pared. It will have statistics and expert
testimony to back up its schedule Of rates,
and will be prepared to justify these rates.
Mere comparison of rates with those in
effect in other cities, may be entirely futile,
for the conditions may be wholly different.
Duluth, for example, has water power
available. Pittsburgh has by-product coke
ovens in great number, making gas costs
very low. Other citeis have natural gas,
or cheap coal supplies available. Their
figures might be useless for comparative
purposes in Fargo. The city commission
must be prepared to show that the rates
proposed are excessive in Fargo, not in Du-
luth or Pittsburgh. If the consumers are
to benefit from the hearing, the city's case
must be given exhaustive study before the
date Of the hearing.
