There has been some criticism from the bench and the bar of The Trib- une’s policy of publishing Justice Rob- inson’s Saturday evening letters. The Tribune is seeking to give its readers the news and believes that these let- ters are unique. Of course The Tribune and Justice Robinson are not always in accord, and the publication of. his letters need not confuse The Tribune's readers. They are signed by Justice Robinson, and he fathers these children of his brain. In no sense are the sentiments always those of The Tribune's, and Justice Robinson publishes them in The Tribune columns knowing full well that they are merely his own expressions. This explanation is made in justice to the author of these Saturday night epistles as well as to allay the feel- ings of those who may think their publication is a slur on the judiciary. The Tribune is an open forum for its readers and it welcomes at all times communications from, the bench and the bar. If Justice Robinson's let- ters irritate unduly or call for an- swers, the Tribune will publish such replies as conspicuously as the con- tributions of Justice Kobinson. President Wilson's typist, eligible for military service, did not claim ex- emption. You see, whenever the pres- ident has anything really important he pounds it put himself. WHY GERMANY WANTS PEACE. The reasons why Germany would like to have peace at tie present time are manifold. Aside from the fact that she is stronger now than she will ever be again during this war, that she is now making war in enemy ter- ritory and holds vast reaches of Bel- gian, French, Russian, Serbian and Rumanian lands, there are conditions at home that make it wise, if not im- Perative, that the war come to an early end. The Germans are a docile and disci- Plined people. They love a ruler and master. They apparently delight in ‘being forbidden to do all manner of things. They have too wholesome a respect for the kaiser’s soldiers and the kaiser’s police. But the ruling caste of Germany ap- parently knows there is a limit to which even Germans may be driven. Germany today is a tand of thin, un- derfed, underclothed people. It is a land upon every home of which Death has laid his’ icy finger. There are blind men and maimed men in every village. It is a land in which people never smile any more. Carking care has taken the place of easy mirth. And the depressed spirits of the People are not uplifted when they read in a workers journal, like the Textilarbeiter workers union, has “ex- changed the temporal for the eternal life” Nor do they rejoice when the article continues that his relatives, applying for financial help, were in- stead given a death certificate by the _ district medical officer which said: “The undersigned hereby certifies that the 58-year-old factory worker, Bern- hard Hauptig, was found dead on June 15 in Engelsberg pastures. As- cording to investigations which were duly carried out, the above named per- son died of starvation.” To which the Textilarbeiter added the terribte-thought: “Hauptig is not the first nor will he be the last mem- ber of the textile workers union to die of starvation.” This simple item, with its plain truths, gives the lie to the announce- ments of the Prussian masters that Germany has enormous resources and her food supply is holding out well. A land in which the resources are ample is not a land in which an indus- trious worker wanders the fields and dies of starvation like a neglected dog No wonder Vorwaerts, a socialist organ of Germany which sometimes dares to hint at the truth, said in a recent Issue “The present internal conditions in Germany remind one of the festive horseman immortalized in the Fliegen- de Blaetter who, being asked, ‘Meyer, where are you riding to? frankly re- plied, ‘How do I know? Ask the ‘horse.’ “We ask, ‘Quo vadis Germania’?” Now the sociali are not the only ones who are asking whither Germany is going. It is being asked sullenly, gely, timidly or worriedly, as the case may be, by everyone in kaiser- dom. All recognize that the breaking point may be reached. There is a stage beyond which even Germans will uot endure. Wars have some- times ceased because the people have absolutely refused to prosecute them any longer. Dynasties have sometimes been toppled into the dust because people have refused to starve any longer. That is what is worrying the Hohen- zollern outfit. They are not winning abroad and they fear conditions at home. Hence their strenuous efforts to end the war before winter, before defeat, before a starved and frozen people may find the courage to drive them from their thrones. - After the general exodus from Si- beria it is no more than natural that Nicholas Romanoff should go up there to look after his interests otherwise not attended to. STICKING TO THE ROAD. They started even on the road ot life. It was ina valley. One insisted ‘upon ¢lintbing ‘a hill adjoining to see the goal ahead. The other plodded along. - “Why don’t you come with me onto the height to find out what your goal is?” the climber asked. “Whatever the goal, I’m headed to- ward it,” answered the plodder. “How do you know you are on the right road?” the climber questioned “Because it is the only road,” the plodder said. The climber was ambitious. He wanted to see ahead. He was always leaving the road to ascend adjoining hills to study his goal and see whether he was approaching it rapidly enough. That was all right. But the road wound around. And at every turn the ambitious climber left the path to spend a day in toilsome search for a short cut. He wearied himself by his spurts of ambition, and had ‘to take frequent rests. The plodder had no ambition, in particular. But he stuck to the road. And when he reached the goal he understood what it was, and enjoyed it, without knowing really how he had arrived. To be a plodder is not the highest, not the truest greatness. But. it is better than being the sort of climber who is always trying to get out of work hunting short cuts. A few geniuses will beat the plod- der. Most men are not geniuses. And the plodder will beat all the rest of them. SUBSTITUTES FOR MATCHES. At the Port Royal (S. C.) training station they are teaching marines how to make a fire without matches. The primitive flint and steel have been revived. Also, United States marines who have served in the Philippines can start a fire without either matches or flint and steel—simply by splitting a hollow piece of ‘bamboo, stuffing it with dry moss, and drawing a stick to and fro across it as a violinist bows a violin. And—United States marines in France, if they find themselves with- out matches, without flint and steel and without bamboo, expect to be re- sourceful enough to hit upon some other substitute. “Aha!” is heard the chirp of the ‘pacifist,’ “see how war drives men back to the moods and methods of barbarism!” The usual pacifist horse-power of brain force! The savage who first made fire sent the world thousands of years ahead on its progress from barbarism to civilization. He was a benefactor, worthy to compare with any man. There was only one thing wrong with him. He didn’t know what to do with his fire when he had it. He | learned slowly fire’s uses—is still learning. The United States’ marines will know what to do with their fire. And by making fire—with matches if they have them, with flint 1 es boo if necessary—they may this; brushing off the face of the watt! ihe last vestiges of Teuton savagery, help years on the path to real freedom and peace and plenty as did the original Savage fire-maker with his original pair of sticks and dry moss, Farmers of this section should read Prof. Bolley’s article in today's Triv- une. This is a crucial time for the grain growers of the northwest. They must not be swayed by poor advisors. It is just as well for the farmers to wait until the government definitely decides upon the distribution of this season’s crop before rushing into an uncertain and badly disturbed market. The Tribune desires to aid the farmer in getting a just pri.o for his products. Prof. Bolley's advice is especially op- portune. OPENING OF CITY SCHOOLS, The Bismarck city schools will open ‘September 4th, 1917. At this time we wish to have every pupil of school speed the world as many thousand |: SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER I—Robert Hollis, one-time sea captain, who tells the story, is a guest on Gerald Carrington's yacht, Es- meralda. It 1 supposed to be g ‘htag” rty and Hollis is surprised on discover- Ing @ woman, who evidently wishes to re- main unknown, aboard. « CHAPTER II—Hollis, the next night, succeeds in having:an interview with the woman. She merely tells him her name is Vera. CHAPTER II—Cuarrington tells his guests of the coming war, and that age in his place and ready for work. Years. of experience have shown that the best results are obtained when pupils enter at the opening day and are regular and punctual in attend- ance until the closing day. Those who were promoted June 8th should pre- sent promotion cards for admission. Those who were promoted at the close of the summer school for failures July 20th, may present the cards re- ceived at that time, except those who are candidates for the high school. ‘Those summer school pupils who wish to enter high school must do so with a written statement to Principal Bolt from Superintendent Martin. One con- dition only, is permitted. Those not in possession of valid credentials are to enter the same grade as last year, and can only be promoted by passing an examination given under the direc: tion of the city superintendent. This regulation is necessary to maintain a high standard, and will be strictly ad- hered to. Teachers are instructed to enforce this ruling rigidly. Save dis- appointment by nc. acking for special favors. Those entering from the out- side must present credentials from last school or submit to an examina- tion. Successful vaccination will be enforced and parents are urged to see to this reatter prior to the opening of school. The superintendent's office phone is number 285 and home phone 835. Call him at any time. J. M. MARTIN, 8-21:8-25 2t City Superintendent. The following notice has been re- ceived from the state department of public health and parents are urged to comply therewith before the opening of school, if possible, to avoid possi- ble absence of pupils during the school term. J. M. MARTIN, City Supt. August 17, 1917. Supt. of City Schools, Bismarck, N. Dak. My Dear Sir: I desire to call your attention to Section 425 of the compiled laws of 1913,, which reads as follo#s: “Each parent or guardian having the care, custody or control of any minor or other person shall cause such minor or other person to be vaccinated.” The state board of health, under re- cent ruling, fixes the time by stipu- lating that all children shall be vac- cinated before being admitted to school. 1 would ask you, therefore, to kind- ly enforce this mandate in the terri- tory over which you have jurisdic- tion by notifying the different school boards and teachers, requesting them to inform the patrons of their schools to have all children vaccinated who do not present evidence of recent vac- cination, before entering the fall term of school. The teachers should be further instructed and ordered to ex- clude any pupil who has not complied with the vaccination law. Any violation by school directors or teachers in allowing or’ permit- ting children to enter school without complying with this requirement will ‘be subject to prosecution. Trusting the state board of health may have your immediate co-opera- tion in this matter I am, Yours very truly, C. J. M’GURREN, Secretary and Executive Officer. 8-21-25 VISITS PALEFACE BRAVES— Old Yellow Horse, a aoughty Sioux warrior, whose name in the olden days struck ‘terror to the heart of many an Arickara, was a caller at the armory today, where he visited Capt. A. B. Welch and enjoyed an in- spection of the paleface braves who soon are to cross the big water. Mrs. Blue Earth and daughter, Mabel, also were visitors at the armory today, calling on their son, Richard Elue Earth, a member of Co. I. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Jordan, who reside just across the line in South Delors ‘be- yond Fort Yates, spent the day with his brother, Joe Jordan, another Sioux member of Co. I, who was given per- mission to accompany them home to pay a visit to his mother, who is very ill in the home lodge on the reserva- tion. The Jordans mace the long jour- ney by automobile.

CHAPTER IV—The yacht is sunk in a collision and Hollis saves Mc- Cann, millionaire, and one of the par- y. CHAPTER V—Hollis and McCann rescue Vera and leave the ship in a small ‘boat, CHAPTER VI—Hollis and Vera be- come friendly, though he is unaware of her identity. CHAPTER VII—McCann refuses to submit to. Hollis’ authority, and the latter enforces it. CHAPTER VIII—The castaways are sighted by a ship, the Indian Chief, which takes\them aboard. i CHAPTER IX, Contraband of War. The knowledge that the owner was actually on board changed the entire situation, I would have to argue It out with him undoubtedly, for quite; naturally he would object to any re- turn to an’ American port. ‘Well, 1 might be in for a disagreeable inter- view, but I had made up my mind, and it was not to,be,changed by any blas ter or offer of high wages.

He had taken a step toward us;limping slightly, but at sight of a sttanger paused. “Whom have you here, Masters?” he asked, his eyes on my face. “Is there another vessel near us?” “No, sir,” and. the engineer stood, hat in hand, awkwardly shifting his weight. “We have picked up seme castaways. This man here is Captals Hollis, late of the-Atlas line.” “Indeed ;” he held out his hand te me, his eyes looking directly into mine, “I regret your misfortune, sir, but your coming is a godsend to us. Your ship was wrecked?” “Sunk in collision,” I answered. “But it was not my ship; I have not been to sce for several years in any position of command. On this/occasion I waa a guest on board a steam yacht belong- ing to Gerald Carrington of New York, The name of the vesgel was ie Keme- ralda, I need’ ‘not relate ‘the detills dust at present, but three of us have been picked up by this ship.” “Three—all passengers?” “Yes—one was a woman.” “Yet, if I understand Masters aright you have been In the merchant serv- Ice?” “In every capacity; when I retired, I was captain of the freighter Vulcan.” He stood silent a moment, thought- fully considering me, and I could not determine whether or not he was alto- gether pleased.

I owe you this for picking us up from an open boat. .With your permission, sir, and without mentioning pay, I will agree'to take command of the Indian Chief, and sail her to the nearest Amefican port, where you can procure officers, and, if necessary, a new crew.” He sat silent, one white hand crum- pling a paper on the desk, his forehead creased, the lines‘ of his face showing clearly..

I smiled, but- shook my head. “Then there is nothing left me, ex- cept to appeal to your humanity,” he went on, leaning forv-nrd, his eyes on mine. “You belong, I suspect, to my class, and I can give you my confi- dence, trust you with my secret. Is this not true?” “I hope I am worthy of such faith,” T answered wonderingly, a3 he paused. “I repose that faith in you, and.ask you to face this situation, from my standpoint.

This contract came to me as a godsend; it was so arranged that I was able to carry it with a little help. If success- ful, it will put me on my feet again.” “You are not German?” “Not a drop of Teuton blood is in my veins, so far as I know. I never dreamed of the possibility of war, or even asked the nature of the ship- ments.” i “I understand.

Any vessel speaking us would make' report as soon as it reached harbor. Our only safe method of procedure will be to keep far enough away from any passing .vessel during daylight to escape recognition, and to rpn the main European routes by night.. If we so much as speak a ship, it will double our peril of. capture; the wireless is our greatest enemy.” “Then I presume your cargo.is large: ly munitions of war?” “Of that nature—yes.” “From what port did you sail?” ' “Baltimore, July 26th; we' were hald back within the capes for two days by a severe storm.” “Then you have not heard of the declarations of war in Europe?” His eyes widened, his pale face grew whiter than ever. “War in Europe; already declared!” he exclaimed. “Is that actually. trug?
