TWO BIG ADVANTAGES

In today's article, Correspondent HUM gives
rs something on Uncle Sans situation with re-
gard to ammunition and ability to use it, and at
least two of it's interesting features strike us very
forciby
First, great chemical plants are being rapidly
developed for the production of nitrates, through
their fixation from the atmosphere. Undoubtedly
these plants will be continued and probably, en-
larged, when peace comes, and the producers OF
the country will have cheaper fertilizer. Nothing
will grow without nitrogen and cheap fertilizer IS
bound to be one of our tremendous problems, very
soon, in all the agricultural regions esat or the
Mississippi particularly. You simply cannot take
nitrate out of the land and keep on raising Things
from it, and heretofore we've been almost WnoIly
dependent upon Chill for this essential. We con-
slider fixation of nitrogen from the air one OF the
very greatest undertakings of the government IN
this war.
Secondly, our advantage in the superiority OF
American craftsmanship is not over-cstlmated by
Mr. Hunt. 1t has been Americas advantage IN
every war she has ever fought, and decided many
!. battle There is little doubt but in the final
scenes of the present war it will be the bullet
rather than the grenade or bomb that will decide
matters. We are giving to the allies something
more than mere troops. We are giving the best
soldier marksmen on earth. The many millions
that America has spent on target practice, through
the years Of peace, are now going to yield dlV
dends.

OBSERVE THE DATE

At last Rev. Billy Sunday is to have personal,
face-to face toe-to-toe grapple with the devil,
whom he has been giving absent treatment for so
long. Mr. Sunday admits the present crisis and
has stripped and CREASED his body and tied on his
trunks securely for the Wrestle, metaphorically
speaking.
For this important bout, Mr. Sunday goes to
Chicago, headquarters for deviltry, and if he does
Mt find the satanic champion there, it will be
because the latter has terribly important business
elsewhere, maybe in Washington. But we guess
that he'll find the said party at home and doing
business as usual, if not better.
AS he stepped from the train at Chicago, Mr..
Sunday was greeted by large honor guard of
mounted police and a thousand choir singers, who
acted as heralds. 1t was intended to take an un-
fair advantage of the devil by slipping in on the
quiet Cheers and psalms announced the arrival
and proclaimed that the fight was on. and for
blood.
The awards will be presented on April 2, when
Chicago sinners and elect vote on "Wet'' or "dry,"
and it will be red letter day in Middle West his
tory. 1t will be day red with the juice. of the
grape, the dstiery and lager BEER or red with the
gore of Mephistopheles. Let us observe closely!

'DOWN WITH PATRIOTISM"

In spirit of modesty amounting almost to
self depreciation, the Edgeey Mail announces
that it will mail" any man in LaMoure county
who, having engaged in war work activities
Red Cross, Liberty Loans, etc.-dares to bob up
for office. In other words, it foretells the dom
that awaits what it terms "the anti-Townley
tribe" e..
We believe this is the first time anyone has
claimed or admitted that the mere fact that one
is doing what he can to help win the war just nat
urally places him among the "anti-Townley tribe !"
If Mr.. Townley's professions Of patriotism and
loyalty are made in good faith he himself belongs
to the "anti-Towney tribe" The chances are that
Mr.. Townley would disavow Editor Blanks fulmi-
nations-if he knew anything about them. We
suggest that Mr.. Townley be asked to state wheth-
erpatriotism and Townleyism are incompatible.
In any case, it must=be gratifying to the par
ents' and friendsqof LaMoure county boys who
are in the blood-soaked trenches Of France or pre-
pairing to, enter them, to learn that all the work
that is, being done here TO promote their safety
Tor comfort is banned by the Edgeley Mail.-La-

SENATOR MARTIN
ISN'T WORRYING
The Hon. Bill Notes That Mees
Wants His TOga

"The farmers friend" Senator Bill
Martin, says that he never announces
himself for any office until 30 days
before election. That was the SUD-
stance of the answer he slipped to a
reporter yesterday when asked II ne
would be candidate for reelection
to the state senate. When asked what
he thought of the endorsement OF the
Nonpartisan league candidate, Fred W.
Mees, he said it might be all right.
He added that if he had sought the
endorsement from that source nc
would have rounded up all the Non
partisan delegates in the 40 precincts
in the county and had them on deck
at the caucus Monday afternoon to see
that he got the nomination..
Bill says election is long ways off
and that there is plenty of time to
get into the ring. He says if he goes
after the tOga he expects to win on
the same policy that for years back
has never failed to land him in the
chambers Of the North Dakota SEN

WILSON TAKES UP NEW
PLAN OF CENSORSHIP

Washington, d. c., March 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson today personally consid-
cred the war departments new plan
of issuing the names of American SOL
diers killed, wounded, or who die in
France without their home addresses
or other marks of Identification.
There was no outward indication that
the president would reverse the de.
partment's ruling which was made for
military reasons, but it was plain that
protests had grown to such numbers
that the president had decided to in
form himself of all the facts. ..

There was a moment of rather aWk
, ward silence, in which brows knOtted
and lips stIa ghtened and faces grew t
ense; then one French gentleman who
has a very important position in the
overnment, who has 25 male relatives
dead in this war, whose infirmity alo
ne prevents him completing the numb
err with 26, and who spent years
enough in America to talk that lang
uage fuently, turned slowly in his
chair and said: ---..--
"if German came to me with
an offer Of peace. | would knock
| him senseIess Immediately and
| turn him over to see whether he
| had gas bomb or plain 1,udg-
! con concealed behind him when
| he held out the olive branch.
There will never be any bona-tide
German offer of peace until it is
coupled with an appeaffor mercy,
and even then the appeal is more
than likely to be an attempt at de-
ception.
Germany talked peace with Russia
across the trenches until the resist
ance OF Russia was weakened, and her
first acts, when she considered Russia
supine, were acts of greed and con-
tempt.
"Her soldiers talked peace with the
soldiers Of Italy across the trenches
Wnlle they were preparing IOr Lne
offensive which undid all that Italy
had poured out he best blood to at
tain.
And each of Germanys peace talks
across the diplomatic trenches hal
in view the same object; to weaken
the determination of one or another
of the allies, or,to cause split among
them. z .
THE replies of Count Hertling and
Count Czernin to the speeches Of
President Wilson and Mr. Lloyd
George were the most insolent of all
in their assumption of stupidity on the
part Of the allies. S<
Promptly On receipt Of these re-
plies, it was announced, in this room,
hat. in the opinion Of France, neither
in the speech Of the German chancel-
lor nor in. the Czernin speech was
there any hope of peace, or even one
definite answer to the very definite
proposals of President Wilson; that
Count Hertling's speech was notable
FOR the absence, for the first time, in
any recent speech of German chan
cellor, Of the words without anneXa-
ton and without indemnity"
ut is not known that at the very
ti1nn nf tho Liyu ~ onnnrhnc
the practical seizure and partition Of
Belgium had been decided upon, in de.
tail, by Germany.
IN the statement of Count Hertling
regarding Belgium, 1t was insisted up.
on that the whole Belgian question
In general and in detail, must be left
| for agreement during the peace ne.
gotiations.
"in other words. II was frankly
and clearly set forth that the fate
OF Belgium would not be made a
matter of right and justice, but
matter Of bargaining!
Count Hertling was equally clear
when he referred to the north Of
rance, and calmly called attention
to the fact that the occupied portions
Of French territory are now In Ger
many's hands, and. that their evacu.
alton must take the vital interests Of
Germany into account.
Again, the assumption of an i'm
perialistic conqnerer; the fnsinuation
that to the victors belong the sp0ils.

that position, and take away tho bald

NOT SO WHAT?

Of the packing business of 1917, J. O. Armour
wrote to a fellow packer:
"rhis shows profits of Al per cent, which is
not so rotten by any means"
What philol ogy needs right now is a definite
definition Of the term "rotten." For one, we'd
like to be able to use it correctly and safely in
opinion of the governments dealing with the meat
profiteers.
