SOCIALISM A GERMAN INVENTION
(New York Times.)

More than half century ago socialism was invented in Germany; and the rulers of the empire, foresecing its vast possibilities in breaking down national morale, fostcred its propagation abroad while they did their best to stamp out the habit at home. Morphine and cocaine and their like gain hold on their victims because they offer great initia! att-ac- tions; the addict becomes lost in magnificently impossible dreams whose splendor for :org time seems worth the pain of awakening. So- ciasm could not be stamped out of Germany and as matters now stand today Germany seems to have released force that may work her own destruction. It is poison that will net act on the system of its own inventor

GREAT BRITAIN COMES THRU WITH
 THE GOODS

Since the question of the disposition of the German coIonies first came up, the at Itltude Ot Great Britain has been the subject for much speculation and suspicion. It was thot that Sne had her eyes OH them, desiring tc add them to her own colonial possessions. The tresldents proposal that they be inter natlonallzed met With some objection or the part of English statesmen, revealing the fact that England actually dld have different plans tor these COlOnleS before the United otateS entered the war. The secret treaties that had been made by Great Britain with other na- tons were disclosed, with the result that 1t was proven that she did intend to dispose of the German colonial possessions ill all entire ly different manner than that proposed by tresident Wilson.
 In spite of all this, however, Great Bri- tain has come thru with the goods and has accepted the plan brot forward by the Presl- dent, namely, that of appointing mandatory o5 nations tor the control ot these colonles, under the league of nations. She shows her self to be the democratic nation that she claims to be, by this action. This is in spite of the opposition met with on the part of the delega- tion from Japan, which is exceedingly wrought up over the disregard of the secret treaty which had provided that certain DOT tion of these colonies were to be given to Japan. However, secret treaties have no place in the international relations of democratic natlon, and the fact that England is wiling to disregard them shows the sentiment ot the British.
 Altho at the beginning of the war, Great Britain was willing to make such treaties, the war itself has changed the policy of that na tion; has changed the sentiment of the peo- pie of England so that what was possible then is impossible now. The war has brct to Great Britain a truer democracy than she had be- fore, a broader view of the rights of other peoples than she had at the beginning of the great struggle. In the war, England has been tried as by fire, and if it can be judged by her actions in regard to these colonies she has not been found wanting. The democratic spirit that she has boasted has come to the front, and has proven itself to be genuine. The very fact that she made these secret trea- ties at the beginning of the war, and then at the finish considers them unworthy of recog- milton, proves beyond all doubt that Great Britain can take her place among the great dclnocracics of the world with her rarne unstained by any suspicion of autocracy. She has come thru with the goods, and by SC do- ing she will hold the respect of the de,1oci atic nations of the world.

Is a little green leaf-hopper which
flies on the slightest provocation and
which causes the leaves to curl and

producing what Is commonly known
az tip-burn.
The control of this pest at this
season OF the year depends on hitting

SCHOOL PLANS
ARE APPROVED
Bids Will Be Taken on Both
Grade and High School
Building at Same Time.

At a meeting of the board Of edu-
cation of East Grand Forks Tuesday
evening the completed plans and
specifications for the grade school
building were submitted by Bert D.
Keck, architect for the school work.
and the plans were approved by the
board OF education.
1t was decided, however. to take
bids on the grade school building at
the same time bids are to be received
on the new high school building.
The board Of education also author
ICED the architect to prepare the plans
and specifications for the new high
school building. Incorporating grade
rooms in one building, g that bids
could be taken on, the high school
building, including the grade school
building combined, and separate bids
IN a separate grade school building.
Bids on both propositions are to be
received at the same time.
The board of education will then
be in a position to determine which ID
the best and most economical way to
handle the proposition.
In either event the salvage from
both buildings will be utilized to the
greatest extent.
The plans for the grade school
building have been completed and ac-
cepted, ana the plans for the new
high school building are well under
way and will be completed in about
six weeks.
