England under Lloyd-George ;,determined to , continue. the, to a “knock-out.” 7 But the -neutral countries of the world have a duty before them to bring every agency into play and end the struggle. Germany invites medi- ation. The United States has power: ful weapons at hand to force the Al: lies to consider these demands. While our attitude toward the peace proposals must be governed largely by strict international usages, the ‘United States and other neutrals are beginning to have a vital interest in the struggle. Many neutrals are feel- ing the pinch of short rations, chiefly because half the world 1s unproduct- ive. Germany has given the signal for a concerted action-for peace. Whether there is any common ground upon which the belligerents can meet re- mains to be seen. ‘As neutrals we have but one duty. To promote peace. As ‘neutrals we are all suffering although not engas- ed in the war. The plight of Norway, Sweden and Denmark is probably the worst of any non-combatants. Free- dom of the seas is denied them, as it is us. . Peoples of the Scandinavian countries are subject to -deprivations more bitter‘'‘than ours. They are practically existing on suffrance of the belligerents. Under the constant menace of a blockade, their food is measured to them lest any cross the border to nourish the enemy. No man can say now that peace is possible. But certainly, Germany's Proposals should receive more than cursory consideration. The world would welcome a cessation of hostil- ity over the Yuletide season, while the forces for good tried to effect a reconciliation, the absence of which threatens civilization itself. ‘ | THREE CHEERS. Congress is going to investigate the increase in the cost of living. Here is the grand good news .t: cheer all drooping hearts! Hurrah! Hurrah! And let the joy bells ring| from steeple to steeple! If the Amer- ican housewife doesn't rejoice when she hears this she is a sad grouch. indeed. She will not get meat, flour or Pickles any cheaper, but next year she can get seven volumes of nicely hound report and testimony, if she will write to her Congressman. ‘Meantime, she may refresh her soul} by, lifting her weary eyes from the butcher's bill and, observing that one “packing house concern has just divid- ed $100,000,000 of accumulated su plus profits, another has benefited its stockholders by an increase of $30, 000,000 in its capitalization and a third announces .net..profits. for. the railroad. increased. this..year, $24,113,- 704 over last year and were 6.93 per. cent, on, its gigantic and bewildering capital, as against last year’ Ss ‘$90 per cent. Likewise that the New York Cen- tral is about to add $25,000,000 to its capital stock, and six Other great rail- roads confess ‘to the ‘imost ‘Iuscious year in their history, watered stocks, gift: bonds, benefits, melons and all. * That ought ‘to make: aimost any ay- erage family blithesome. and glad. The object of the learned investiga: tiorts: of congress will be to find out who ,is getting the increase. Congress is a grand, grand old body —at investigating things. Next year it will investigate how apples get into dumplings ‘and how the wind gets into a pair of bellows. —————EEEEE CAN'T STARVE GERMANY. Germany has practically all the Eal- kans, with tHe exteption of Greece, and nobody seems to have that. ‘his means, that the policy of “starving out Germany” is of little good. It is now doubtful if Germany can pe “starved” as to anything nec- essary to her in the war. She has won* advantages. on land that fully compensate for her disadvantages on the seas. Attrition is an awfully slow process and failure to starve Germany doesn't put any speed into-attrition. ‘And now that they know: where Villa- is, none: of them seem to want him. Golden Alaska’s exports during the year were valued at $68,618,000. And most of it was copper. Woodrow has given a dinner to his campaign managers. And they didn't carry. a state that they really tried tc manage. They're going to sell a seat on the New: York Stock ‘Exchange to satisfy alimony. -It ought to reduce the high price of seats. Cheer up! When they asked Dick Croker why he had returned to Am erica, he answered: “To escape the high cost of living!” | London editors say Bucharest’s fall was important chiefly because of its moral effect.

Is Unable To Come Failure of Joe ‘Novak to make connections into Minneapolis be- cause of crippled train service in South - Dakota, resulted in the eleventh hour of arrangements being perfected for.a match to- hight between B. North of Minot and Tony Bernard, the Jamestown grappler, who has been throwing all comers in that city. Tony Bernard, wrestling mate of Alec Bean, who has been head- quartering at Wilton, arrived in the city this noon and is staying at the Grand Pacific. For some time he has been trying to get a match with North or Novak. He drifted into it today. Wrestling fans of the city are assured of a better match with Bernard as one of the principals than if Novak had appeared and had gone on the mat with North. The match will be called Promptly at 8:30 o’clock. \ MOORHEAD’S TAX RATE FOR COMING YEAR 48.5 Moorhead, Minn., Dec. 13.=Moor- head, the City Dry,“ Minnesota’s one 5,000 population city that, doesn’t owe a nickle, will have a tax rate of 48.5 mills for the coming year, the lowest with but a single exception in Clay BISMARCK.

BOTTOMS Thousands of Acres of Valuable Lands Endangered by the Missouri [ENGINEER NOW MAKING SURVEY OF CONDITIONS The hungry Missouri is' rapidly. gob- bling up several thousand acres of valuable bottom-lands belonging to the Burgois, Sperry and other well- known farms northwest of Bismarck, and Governor Hanna has called upon State Enginéer Bliss for an official statement of the amount of property. endangered, with a view to petition- ing the United States government to take steps to curb the greedy river. Most Valuable in Country - The lands endangered are among the most valuable in Burleigh county. Farms were settled on these rich:-bot- toms thirty or forty years ago. -A large percentage of the area threaten- ed is now in alfalfa and is worth at least $10 an acre, Its owners feel.that unless the Missouri is’ confined to its channel the propérty to which they have given so much time and money will be destroyed, and Governor Hanna’ has been’ prompt to act at their re-) quest, Engineer Making Survey Harris Robinson. of State Engineer.

RELATION 1 10 MURDER ‘ Warden aloott Pre Presents Views overcome ‘by giving ‘state! inspectors: Submitted From Other “tates ‘ Statistics’ were quoted: from the biennial report of F cott, warden of the North Hey mae itentiary,:tending ‘to show that He der, manslaughter and similar crim against human life ‘have increased ta this state‘since capital punishment was abolished. The conclusions were | drawn'from'a comparison. of the num- ber of: convicts committed for murder and ‘manslaughter ) during: the: two years: following thd abolition of capi- tal punishment with. those for the two years preceding this act. War- den Talcott does not stand sponsor for the assertion made in these news stories that capital punishment’s elim- ination may have something to do with the increase in crimes formerly punishable by death, In support of his stand, the warden presents a letter-from John W. ‘Hutch- inson, superintendent of the depart- ment of prison‘teform of the Friends’ general conference, quoting officers of many states’ whith have abolished capital punishment.

Chairman Stuttsman is of German ancestry, and Mr. Mann isa very good Dutchman.: Mr. Anderson’s’ name places him above suspicion, but even he is taking no chances, and anyone who:may be interested ‘will learn from Governor Hanna's letters that there nevef was a more harmless trio dis- patched from the good state of North Dakota. * Leave From Forks The’ commissioners assembled Thursday at Grand Forks,: whence | they’ will proceed to ‘Winnipeg; thence Fort .WiJliams, at the head of Lake Superior, and finally back to Winni- -dominion again. “From ‘the they Will ‘drop: back to “States,” spending a few days at Superior and Duluth. The tour will end at Minne- apolis. It is probable that fifteen days will be consumed and that the com- missioners will not be at their desks' again until their terms of office are near the. close. Asks Federal Advice Secretary Cushing has: written the at Washington for advice as to any possible conflict which might arise between state and federal grain - spection, in the event that terminal elevators are established. There is no basis for the report that the commis: sion will proceed to Washingtgn in its investigation. The members only. re- cently returned from: a. visit tothe national capitol.

EMPLOYED IN ) IN RRIGATION = 4 8p | State Engineer Bliss To Make) Surveys for: ‘Project North of Marparth North Dakota is soon to have another irregation project of relatively, small present importance but of great, future promise. H;C. Caudle of Stew- art, manager of the Alfalfa ranch, has advised State Engineer Bliss that he contemplated irrigating about eighty acres of land a short distance north of Marmarth, on the Little Missouri, Surveys for this undertaking will be made in the next. few days, when the state engineer will be in position to report on the equipment necessary. It is Mr. Caudle'gs intention to plant the irrigated land’to alfalfa, which he bas cultivated with great success in south- mine the effect, if any, of the. aboli- tion of the death penalty. Maine abolished the death penalty in: 1876; restored it in 1883 and again abolish- ed it in 1887, Michigan, Rhode, Island, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, Indi- ana, New Hampshire and European spent Tuesday at Langdon, where he countries interviewed ‘all declared against capital punishment as a crime deterrent. The increase in murder and manslaughtef which followed the aboXtion of the death penalty in North Dakota must, peace officers ‘be- lieve, be ascribed to the great influx of a floating population of undesirables during the years covereu. One pecu- liar reason advanced by a- well known authority is that the weeks of rainy weather in 1915, enforcing idleness upon the part of several thousand floating laborers were responsible for the crime wave which swept over North Dakota that autumn. eee DAKOTA AUTHOR WRITES INTERESTING NOVEL OF STRONG GERMAN TREND “The Neutra’s Portion” is the title of an interesting new novel of strong- ly pro-German tendencies from the pen of Elwin Lorraine of Ray. This latest addition to North Dakota's native. lit- erary products has been received by Mrs. Minnie C. Budlong, secretary of the state library commission, and now has a place on the shelves of the state. library. “The Neutral’s Portion” deals with the evils of Ameritan’ manufacture of munitions for the waring allies. It is well written, and the librarian states, shows genuine literary talent. The volume is from the Jackson press, of New York City. So far as known, it is the author's first literary effort.
