It is, therefore, but natural to adopt a retrospective attitude toward that part of it. In the heat of the dispute there has been the inevitable buncombe on both sides. That the German army was equipped and organized during the period of ten years before the war for the purpose of subjugating the world is perhaps an exager- ation. Germany maintained an enormous army principally be- cause she lay between two hostile powers—France and Russia. There were other reasons, but this was plainly a compelling one Equally absurd, however, is Germany’s contention that the war was forced upon her. It is waste of time now to reca- pitulate the incidents which immediately preceeded the four years struggle. Germany provoked the war. She declined to refer disputed points to arbitration when entreated by the pow- ers to do so. - She must bear her full responsibility for her act, in the hope that the severity of her punishment will prevent any re- currance of such acts in the future, either on her part or on the part of any other nation. One of the most clear headed and illuminating comments on the subject’ was lately made by William McAdoo in an ad- dress at the Methodist centenial exposition, in which he said: “Germany may regard the terms as harsh, but of one thing the world is certain: That unless the consequences of a breach of world peace by any nation are made so serious and so for- midable that they will exhaust every conceivable means for settlement of disputes before restoring to war, the peace of the world can not ‘e secured in the future.” And it is even doubtful if anything will prevent future wars. When the veneer of civilization is scratched the beast will invariably roar. PRSI STy RATHER COMPLEX SITUATION With no .intent to eriticize, but merely by way of sugges- tion, it has been deemed advisable to'call attention to tHe man- ner of balloting at Bemidji school elections. Voters do not seem to be satisfied by voting mere slips of paper. Ballots should all be alike, with the names of all candidates on them. In case of failure to file, blank ballots should be given voters with space to write the names to be voted. At the election Saturday evening no slips bearing the name of R. L. Given, present member of the board, were in evidence. An oversight, of course, and no fault of board members or any- one in particular. Had blank ballots been provided, so that it was necessary to write all names, there can be no question, but that Mr. Given would have polled a larger vote. He has been a most conscientious worker on the board and has served but one term. His endorsement should have been unanimous. The fact that he was not re-elected is no encour- agement to the present members, nor to the best citizenry of Bemidji. Politics should not enter into school elections, and no blame can be given to any of the candidates tfor the acts of over enthusiastic supporters. [ , F— BARKER SHOWS HUMANE SPIRIT The offer of Naval Lieut. E.' A. Barker, one of the owners: of the Barker drug and jewelry store, to convey six persons in his car to pick berries and bring them home on return at a reasonable hour, shows a splendid spirit, for those who are un- able to relieve food snortage in this instance, owing'to lack of facilities. Blue berries and raspberries are falling to the ground for lack of being picked. They are plentiful this year and going to waste, when they would make any family happier during the cold winter if properly preserved. The idea appealed to Mr. Barker. others.
