LETTER FROM FRANCE
Somewhere In France,
Nov. 24th 1918.

Dear father:
Today is fathers day so I
must write you a letter and tell
you some of my experiences in
France. The letter will not be as
long as / would like to make it,
because our billets in this little
town are very poor and the
weather is cold. This morning I
walked to Fresnes, next town, to
keep warm. Every billet in Fres-
mes is shot to pieces. Fresnes is
five miles from st. Michel. We
will leave Rupt in a day or so
and expect better billets next
move.
These days we train from
morning until night and stand
around a stove or play football
when we. don't train. How long
we have to stay in France no
body knows. AS we are a combat
division we have to stay here
until peace has been signed.
My fighting in France has
been mostly trench warfare in
the Vosges Mts. and the Verdun
sector. The 35th division to
which I belong, has been in two
drives, in reserve for one and be-
gan one. We were ready for an
other one when the armistice
was signed. Of all, the fighting
drives are to be dreaded. We
|were in reserve for the drive
close to Llverdun, not very far
from Nancy. The reserves were
not called for there. We moved
to a sector close to Verdun and
went over the top September rs,
1918 and fought for five long
days, capturing many prisoners.
Our hardest battle was in the
Argonne Woods where the Ger
mans make a stand. My part in
this battle would take to long to
write about in this cold place
so you will have to wait until I
come home.
Your son,
Hans Iverson.

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE

The outcome of the recent election in England
furnishes striking confirmation of the political
action of the Nonpartisan league farmers in
this country and the labor allied with them.
British labor used to do what labor is doing
here, namely, tie up to one of the old parties on
the promise that it's intrests would be looked af-
ter. But on important matters the result was al
ways the same. The promises of the politicians
gave way to the orders from the special inter-
ests which supplied the political machine and
the campaign funds.
Now by independent action or by placing one
of their own men on an old party ticket, the
British workers have Is to 100 men in parlia-
ment out of about 400 elected in Britain who
stand foE~ them clearly and distinctly and who
must carry out their mandates. They form the
second party in Great Britain. In the near fu-
ture a turn of affairs may dissolve parliament
and they may become the first party of the
land. The GROUP of members of parliament
which the Laborites have now placed will be
able to do more for labor than three times as
many men elected for their promises and de-
pending on anti-labor support.
Some of our own people have thought of the
new British labor plan which have accomplish
ed these great results, as impractical. They see
danger in antagonizing the old parties. But it
might be we'll to ask these persons whether
prediction camouflage makes an enemy any
less dangerous. Right now the great farmer and
labor populations of the United States have not
a uOZcn Hl0H III our congress Iuey Call leel sure
will stand for their interests all the time, and
six out of this scant dozen were sent there by
the Nonpartisan league movement.
Less. than two weeks ago for instance, Sena-
tor LaFollette introduced a taxation bill that
would have met the approved of all the farmer.
and labor elements of the United States. It was
q fair, common sense bill, taking off many of
our war taxes on consumption and increasing
those on excess profits, large incomes and in
heritances. Only six senator's, however, voted
for it and two Of the six were men Endorsed by
the Nonpartisan league for election. Yet every
one Of the senator's, however, who voted against
this bin, had made promises to the farmers
and workers, and enough Of these two classes
had swallowed these promises to elect him.
And this brings ~ another point that counts
much with men 81 spirit. Even if they az not
~ ~ they aim for, the British Laborites and
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1919-01-09
OUR FALSE

The existance of a rigorous censorship on
nonmilitarv matters and of sedition laws which
can be easily interpreted to get people who tell
the necessary truth about those in power, is in
a way serious reflection upon the moral stand
ing OF our people. What can it mean but that we
feel it is not of sufficient Importance to know
the truth about certain conditions to bother
about hearing both sides ? And what does this in
turn mean except that we do not really believe
that there is such a thing as a mortal basis for
the world?
We talk a great deal about morals and moral
lty, of course. The mouths of our statesmen,
not to mention our politicians, rarely open with
out some expression of moral fervor. But if we
really believed in retribution for unjust acts, if
we.really believed that there was a moral basis
to the world which the more devOut call the law
OF God, would we not be so anxious to be right
that we would weigh all sides of the question?
Would we not fear to force any man who
thought he had something of great Importance
to say, to remain silent?
It is foolish to reply to this point that we
have put our trust in Wilson and other leaders
and that consequently they are responsible for
what is done. They act for us. We who raised
them up to their positions of power will have
to answer for what they do if it indeed betrue
that there is a moral basis to the world. And yet
we have legally cut ourselves off from any real
scrutiny of their acts.
We have, for instance, embarked on i~nterven-
ton in Russia against the radical government
there. Now this Intervention may be right, but
the American people do not know that is it
right and can not know because they have heard
nothing but one side of the case. Our govern
ment produces documents to show how bad
these radicals are, but if any one knew that they
were fraudulent, he would not dare to say so.
Men who could speak for the other side, such
as Kerensky, are not allowed to come among us.
Yet who could not prove his neighbor a chicken
thief by being able to do all the talking?
AS a matter of fact we do not pretend to live
up to what is implied by our superficial moral
announcements. We think we are strong
enough to defy retribution. We will build the
biggest navy in the world; we will have the
= greatest army. But SO have all the nations since
