Americans are_the last race on earth to be: ‘Inn to ‘crying over spilled milk. - Probably: no nation in / history has grown'to eomnnndlns influence in the world over greater op- position than has the Unfted States.. Opposition is the bread of lite ‘to “our ‘people, and your ped-blooded American has a mild cogtempt for any ocoupation that contsins none of the element of- danger;or chance. 1t proof were wanted to refute the insinuation of the Teutons that we would blanch at the dangers from their submarines, it 18 found in the fact that before the ink was hardly dry on the papers in. this country giy- ing the news of the sinking of the Tuscania, enlistments in all branches had jumped ‘to records mever reached before.

She is also due to learn that:when that sense of justice and right has been flagrantly abused and insulted, there is no hesitation on our:part, to resort to the weapaps of force so dear to the German heart. Germany, however,-is merely: whistling to keep up her courage. . She 4 ‘sees her doom When:our troops reach Europe in force.

Beltrami county stands second.to none: in the country in: patriotism or loyalty. She has aided unstintedly every move of the government in her war work campaigns. . She has:sent hundreds of her. sons to the battle lines and the campsi ; She has done so willingly. And her stalwart boys and men have responded fearlessly.
