Telegraph dispatches received from
the Orient would indicate that the
Polish situation has come to critical
point and that somebody else besides
Russia and Poland will be involved.
The French are said to be massing
troops, in preparation for a general
movement, although nothing is defin-
tie, due to the close censorship which
exists. Great Britain is getting up
on her "ear" over the way the So
viets theat their notes to them, and is
threatening to do something besides
simply sending notes asking them to
behave themselves. The Poles are
losing ground daily, and now the i'm
portant city of Warsaw is threatened
with capture by the Reds, who are
forming what is termed as "pincers
movement" around the Poles. That is,
gradually Tightening up and shutting
off all war and food supplies until they
are forced into submission, and a
Soviet form of government, such as
now exists in Russia, is established.
Nothing worse could happen to Po-
land, or even to the entire world
With this much accomplished the
Reds would set out, new territory to
conquer, and would perhaps throw
their armies against China, or some
other nation in which their agents
have been working. Let this 60 on
very long and they will have so in
creased their power, due to the large
natural resources which exists in these
countries and to the financial aid
which they would force from them, to
such an extent that it would require
large military force to subdue them.
Poland has representatives in the
United States, asking for money and
aid to help their country. Up to the
present time no definite action has
been taken by government authorities
at Washington, although they are un-
derstood to have the matter under
consideration. If Poland falls, and it
seems eminent that it will, it is al
most certain that Lenine and Trot-
sky will not be content with that much
gained. If the Red menace is to be
crushed, now is the time, and France
and England have evidently taken this
view.

nonpartisan Lacquer can for once
heartily agree with the Times-Record.
Now if Trubshaw will only vote right
he will become a good nonpartisan."
Trubshaw has always been nonpar-
tisan when it came down to anything
that was for the good of the whole
state, and has never been hide bound
politically, many times supporting the
other side when it has looked to him
to be the best for all the people. He
will vote right this fall-but it will
not be vote to sustain the soci fist
outfit that are now trying to continue
control of the state. We could not be
nonpartisan in the sense that the
P. O. is suggesting because that would
mean the support of Townleyism and
that we could not stand for. We have
always stood for anything that is for
the good of the farmers-at least we
think we have-and have had no OBJ
we have a very decided objection to
Townleyism and next fall shall vote
right by supporting the democratic
nominee for governor. We believe
that such course will be for the best
interests of the people. We stand for
everything that is for the good Of the
whole people of the state. We opine
that every time we knock socialism
and Townleyism it is progressive lit
erature and that is what we call real
nonpartyism. No self respecting
voter can very we'll stand for all those
things along the line of socialism and
Sovietism as promulgated by the
Townley bunch and we for one are not
going to do so. The editor of this
paper for many years before the P. o.
came into existence has been talking
progression and advocating those
things that were for the best interests
of the state, and we shall continue to
do so. We are greatly pleased that we
have written something that has call
ed forth the commentator of our
friend across the street.

BASEBALL PLAYERS
ARE BANQUET |

Manager J. H. Sampson pulled off
a nice little banquet at the Rudolf
Cafe last evening as a sort of fare
well appreciation of the boys who have
composed the Valley City baseball
team this season. The record of the
club is one we should feel proud of.
We have won 80 games, lost II and
tied in two, which is a fine record for
any team to make. We have gone up
against the best teams in the state
and the reputation Of the Valley City
ball team is known all over. In adj
dition to that the personnel of the
team has been exceptionally good, and
the boys have proved themselves to
be gentlemen and have played clean
ball. The citizens of Valley City feel
that the management has given them
fine sport this year and next year it
will be no trouble to get team even
better than the one we have had this
year which will be hard to get. The
banquet was attended by the members
of the club and the management and
by few Of the boosters Of baseball in
the city. P. R. Trubshaw presided as
POSTMASTER and after making a little
talk to the boys, called on Manager
J. H. Sampson who spoke in apprecia-
ton of the splendid team he had
managed this season.. Captain Wing
field and ex-Captain Becker respond
ed for the club and spoke Of their ap-
probation Of the good time they had
had together and of the splendid
treatment received at the hands of
the people of Valley City. Manager
Sampson was toasted by the gang
for his great work and the toast was
accompanied by loud hurrah of ap-
probation. The toastmaster called on
a number Of fellows for little talk
and dozen or more business men re-
sponded, each one voicing their appre-
citation of the efficient work of the
ball team. It was pleasant gather
ing and at the conclusion Of the ''feed''
a smoker was enjoyed and the bunch
broke up the gathering by singing
Aud Lang Syne." Base ball for next
year in Valley City-of the league
types very bright at this time. The
Times Record wants to congratulate
Mr.. Sampson and those associated
with him in the management of the
ball team for the good work done and
the success of the team, and the town
goes on record as being behind the
management to man. He has
shown himself to be a worker and a
square sport and Hank" can have
anything he wants along base bali
lines he asks for next season.

GERMAN IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS

GERMAN IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS
DR.. F. w. Ballou, new superinten-
dent of schools of Washington, D. c.,
chosen to this position after a stormy
passage between the former superin
tendent and the president of the board
of education, an an investigation by
special committee of the United
States senate, will be called upon
among other things early in his new
work to decide whether the German
language shall be taught in the Wash
ington high schools. In this connec-
tion it is interesting to suggest that
lack of demand for German in the
high schools caused it's teaching to
be dropped from the Washington in
stitutions before the world war.
AS this question is being raised in
cities in many sections of the country,
the position taken by DR.. Ballou will
be of interest in view of the fact that
it is to be decided for the national cap
ital schools. It is stated in Wash
ingtop several high school principals,
presumably unaware of the decision
DR.. Ballou will reach, are working on
plans for reorganization of the
schools in preparation for September,
but that none has considered the rein
stallation of German in the curricu-
lum.
The great preparation being made
for foreign trade by United States ex-
porters as the reconstruction wrin-
kles gradually are ironed out has
caused suggestions in some quarters
to the effect knowledge of German
as we'll as of other foreign languages
would aid high school students to
equip themselves for business careers.
On the other hand, the memory of the
war still is so fresh in the minds of
many that instantly the reintroduc-
ton of Germany in the public school
is suggested there is opposition to it.
Due to these conditions interest in
the action taken in Washington as
we'll as in other cities on this matter
will be keen.

We read in some of the papers that
a big howl will come up over the in
creased passenger and Pullman rates
to go into effect in the very near fu-
ture. Some say that the increased
freight rates will not be hailed with
any vigorous kick. This is all wrong.
There should be no kick about the pas
senger and Pullman rates but a very
hard kick about the freight rates. If
people are so we'll to do that they
must travel in Pullman cars or trav-
ell at all, then they should be willing
to pay the price, but it is entirely a
different matter in regard to the
freight rates. Every time the freight
rates are raised the farmer and the
businessman are gouged for that much
more and the rates are too high now.
Freight is a necessity and we must
have it but galvanting around the
country on joy trips are not neces-
sity and come under the head of lux
ury and should be paid for as such
that is where the increase in money
should come from. When you raise
freight rates it comes out of the
farmer and the business man. It is
added taxation. The farmer gets no
raise in his crop prices but he has to
pay double about for getting his crop
to market. The Courier-News very
pathetically calls attention to the fact
that if we had more John Baers in
congress we would not have 50 much
trouble. If we had less John Baers
we would be better off. The point is
that the working men of the country
in the railroad service from time to
time demand more wages and will
strike if they do not get them. This
puts it up to the railroads and they
have to come across. To pass the buck
on the railroads have to put it on the
people and all the Baers and like ilk
could have no more to say than we
have-and that is nothing. It is all
right for some of these chaps in the
newspaper business who are there for
what there is in it, but that does not
help out the people who have to carry
the burden. There will have to be an
industrial adjustment in the country
and general coming down Of price;
all along the line before there will be
any real contentment again in this
country. The people have about come
to that point in their lives when they
feel that they would just as soon see
. revolution and . panic as not If it
only gets the desired results.

Minot is preparing to entertain
fully 800 delegates, representing over
200 Legion Posts of North Dakota at

0'C0NN0R LOOKS
LIKES WINNER

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 9.-The i'm
preston is gaining ground daily that
the fusion ticket, headed by j. F. T.
O'Connor of Grand Forks, will win in
November All anti-Townley factions
are being aligned back of the ticket,
and the outlook for the best fighting
machine ever operated against Town
ley is growing brighter day by day.
The republicans, regardless of faction,
are accepting the fusion ticket and
will support it as Loyalty and to the
same extent as they would have the
republican ticket.
O'Connor for ten years has been
delivering addresses and lectures over
the state. and is probably known per-
sonally to as many or more people as
any other man in the state. His win
ming personality and ability as an
orator have made him popular where
ever he has spoken. He is doubtless
the strongest man that COULD have
been selected by the democrats.
Bismarck, N. d.. Aug. 9.-Dr. Ship
stead claims that his defeat in Min
nesota was due to the lack of money
and newspaper support. This like
most of the league gaf is pure bunk.
Shipstead was skinned for the lack
of votes caused by the intelligence of
the majority people of Minnesota who
did not fall for the false doctrines of
the league wind TANNERS.

Rev. ]. F. L. Bohnhoff returned last
evening on No. 4 from Butte, Mont,
where he has been on church business.
On the trip he met and talked to John
and Tom Collins, and Fay Ross, all
former Valley City people. They all
asked to be remembered to Valley City
friends. John Collins is living at
Bozeman, and Tom is making his home
in Billings. Mr.. Bohnhoff says that,
Fay Ross is especially optimistic,
since he believes that he has oil on his
claim north of Forsyth. II ~

MIN0T WINS TWO
OUT OF.THREE

Valley City received a drubbing
right from Minot yesterday, when
they met defeat by the score of z to
0. Errors were in great part due
to the large score run up by the 9TH
er team, and also some heavy slug
cling by them. Adams was pitching
for Valley. T. T..
This game ends the series with Mi
not, and the team goes from there to
Bismarck. Bismarck is still up on its
toes for the defeats administered I'd
them when Valley City played there
last, and are preparing a royal re-
ception, in the form of defeat for
Valley City. For the narrowing de-
tails of how they are going to com
pletely eliminate Valley City read on:
GLOW about little organized
roofing Thursday and. Friday eve
nings, fans? $,
"There's been a little section Of
rooters over in the left side Of the
grand stand nearly every big
game, but there hasn't been
enough of them.
y "The fastest baseball of the
season ought to spread out for
the fans feast in the two Valley
City games. Both games ought
to be at their best and on their
toes. Bismarck has some road to
travel in the games, if the team
wins the two the score will stand
three to three with, Valley City,
with the rubber sure to be played
off.
"The great Charley Boardman,
who is slated to pitch one of the
games for Valley, City, doesn't
strike much into the hearts of
the batters. Boardman has been
pitching good ball, but he was
treated roughly Sunday in game
between Hankinson, and Wahpe-
ton, and the local club is out to
do the same here - Bismarck

1t sounds like defeat doesn't it?
However, we are still hoping that the
margin of scores won't be bigger than
fifteen at the most, and if we get
lucky" we might possibly beat them.

lay is thing Of the past. Instead

securing this, all those who are plan
