Additional proof that $1.65 a bushel for wheat was never contemplated comes in a wire from J. H. Barnes, head of the $50,000,000 federal grain corporation, to R. S. Lewis of Fargo. Mr. Barnes says: “The report of $1.65 for wheat is entirely without foundation, ‘The wheat is in the hands of an impartial body now considering the question, and I am sure their conclusion will be the fairest expression possible.” ‘Now is no time for political chican- ery. Attempting to create a crisis through misrepresentation will do the! North Dakota farmer more harm than good. The price fixing commission must set a fair and reasonable price for wheat and as far as surface con- ditions indicate, it is the intention of that body to study the matter from every angle before snouncing a de- cision i It is well that North Dakota men } are now in Washington to give what; ance they can, but if some North | asi Dakota politicians have sought to use the situation for political aggrandize- ment they are in for a terrible dis- appointment. The truth is bound to come out. The neutrals should realize that while Uncle Sam is cutting out the middlemen at home it is only natural that he should do the same abroad. OUR MANY-TONGUED ARMY. It has been said the most polyglot | army the world has ever seen is un- der General Sarrail in the Balkans. There are Frenchmen, Britons, Hin- doos, Italians, Russians, Serbs, Alba-! nians and Greeks. There are men of different colors. There is a babel of tongues. But this Sarrail army will be as nothing compared with the army of Uncle Sam. Here all the races of the world will meet on an equality to don], the American uniform and fight under the American flag. It is an army of sturdy young men, Americans all, whether native born or naturalized. Just as a sample here are names culled at random from a list of those , found physically qualified, and who! made no exemption claims, in district| No. 15 pw York city: eppe Vinenelolia “ward Delehanty n Richard Tonjes.

Min which in ‘lis the Italian inscription: Italian, Irish, German, Swedish, Greek, French, Spanish, Russian, Jewish, Eng- lish; Hungarian, Croatian, Syrian and. even, Chinese origin. The melting pot has caught them and fused them and made boys of Uncle Sam out of them The best proof of this is that they did not seek ‘to evade service. It will be a good thing to study this list when we get pessimistic. What is going on in New York, is also happen- ing in Boston, in Chicago, in Cleve- land, wherever there are great num- bers of foreigners who have become naturaljzed. and who are fully awake to what America means to them, their families and to future generations. America has been found worth fight- ing for and worth dying for, if needs be. “Polygamy is far more romantic than single marriage,” says Susa Young Gates, daughter of Brigham. Like enough, and far more tougher, too. A PRAYER ALL CAN PRAY. High up in the hill country of Italy, where the foothills slope into the a lonely wayside shrine a frame of painted flowers mounta’ “Pray, oh ye faithful— “For the sons of Italy, who are watching and fighting for our land, “For the welfare of our king who shares their glory, | “For constancy in our resolve, “And solace for the mothers and the wives of our country.” This prayer is as beautiful as it is} simple and heartfelt. With the proper adaptations, it might well be prayed in this country, We are sending our boys to the front in France in ¢ ‘er-increasing numbers, In the tren ever there they will be watching and fighting for our land just as truly as if they were in trenches on American soil. They are going to fight to preserve our lib- erty and our independence. ‘ Every victory they win is a victory for the American flag and the Ameri- can cause. Every time they defeat the gray legions of the kaiser, they help to drive another nail into the coffin of tyranny and militarism and autocracy. And while we are p BUC we may well also pray that we here at home shall be constant in our resolve to support those at the front with money, with food, with am- munition--and, above all, with the cheer news that their mothers, sweethearts and wives are being well cared for. ing for their WHY ‘NOT? Recently the Garment ‘Makers’ asso- | ciation suggested American women would greatly serve the success of the war if they would decide not to wear mourning for any relative or friend who dies during its duration. Travelers from France all speak of the depression caused by the univer- sal mourning worn vy the women. The psychological influence of sadness is heightened by the yards and yards of somber hlack and swathing veils of crepe, in which the sorrowing sweet- hearts and wives and mothers have draped themselves. The wearing of mourning is more or an edict of fashion anyway. It one of the barbarous customs that nas lingered from the unhappy lot of the child widows of India. One's grief may be poignant and sincere but that is no reason why one should inflict it on otners who might be happy even when we are sad. This year brilliant colors have been worn more than usual ‘by women, young and old, and if this war still persists why may not our women do their bit by flauting the red badge of courage instead of wearing the rusty, unsanitary crepe that has long been considered the insignia of woe? le: Towa pacifists fought the police while trying to lynch a lawyer, which indicates that pacifists will fight when their cause is strong enough. AND MORE TO COME. Since the declaration of war against Germany 1,300,000 young Americans have VOLUNTEERED for the United States army and navy service, accord- ing-to the official figures. There may be disappointment about claims for exemption from conscrip- tion, but if any pro-German can get comfort out of these figures on volun- teers, he's welcome to it. WHERE THE TALK ENDS. It is great and good of the pope to propose peace. One thing his holiness cantot guar- antee, and that is that a peace treaty made with the Teuton autocracy would not be treated as ‘a scrap of paper”; the day after its making. Treaty with that autocracy is worth- Others might be added, but here in this brief choice are Ameri less. Such is the rock upon which all ans of | Peace talk splits, at once.

It was evident enough in my mind that there were two clvments of evil aboard—liquor and McCann’s wealth, Either alone would have been bad enough, but thus combined, they ren- dered our situation more than perilous —and I was facing this peril com- paratively alone. Masters vould doubt- less perform his duty, but his work would keyp him below, an‘ he would prove of slight value on deck, My im- pression of Lenyord and Olsen was fa- vorable enough ; they were, undoubted- ly, the very best material on board; yet, from long association with the forecastle, it was only natural that their sympat}-les should be with their mates forward, An efficient sea offi- cer is not mace overnight, and either man might fail me at a pinch. As to Bascom, he could never be counted on; while as regards Vera—but at thought of her, the cold persjiration beaded my temples with a herrer of what might yet occur on board. No, the burden was mine, mine practically alone.» It was up to ine to strike first, to assert my authoriry, and then maintain it. This was the one thing which would impress the mind of the sailor—a quick decision, a swift blow. This very night we must win the ship, if ever, and the first man for roe to gain control over must be Fergus McCann. Ireached this decision coolly and de- | Uberately, yet with no clear plan of | action in my mind. At that moment | Olson sang out some order from the | rail overhead,’ and I could hear the bustle of the watch along the black deck, : a consents to]. com, owner of the Indian| (Copyright, A, C.

My eyes distinguished no figures, but! suddenly a blaze. of lightning seemed | to rip- the: sky asunder, .and, sin. the! swift, ghastly glare, 1 perceived two human. figures: against the starboard rail, safe from c!servation beneath a boat swung in cavits. The man direct ly facing «me, his countenance illu- mined for a single instant by the flame, was Liverpool: Red. The very postures of the. two'h.ca, ‘the position chosen "in the"shadow, led me* amidships, - toidentify Liverpool’s companion and guess their purpose. Very. well, there was no better time’ than now to start my task. Yet I had:scarcely teken a- step forward. when-I’ became aware that their sceret conference was over, and that the two.were separating. 1] could. not ‘positively: determine the movement i:\ the intense darkness, but I felt assured that "dite of the two men had. moved forward, crouching along the rail, leaving the second man stand- ing alone. Unquestionably the one thus left would be McCann, I waited motionless until the fellow stealing away was well beyond carshot, and then advanced straight across the pitching deck, ‘ The fellow, taken quite by, surprise, stared: at my indistinct fig- ure, unable ‘to determine my identity “1 Was Not Aware, There Were Any of My Class on Board.” until I spoke. Tere was that about his figure, black ‘as the night was, which convinced ro he’ Was the man sought. is : “Well, McCann,"/I said shéttly, “you seem to prefer associating with the crew, rather than with:your own class aft. What is the game?” “I was not aware there were any of' my own class on board,” he answered sneeringly. Bes , “Perkaps you have not yet discov- | ered who are on board. Do you chance to kngw. who owns this vessel and targo?” 3 “Who owns them!” he laugheé coarsely. “What difference does that make?” * “It depends entirely on whether o1 not you have any decent manhood left in you,” I said coldly, “and, frankly I do not believe you have. However the truth can do no*harm, and we'l! understand each other better. This ship and cargo are owned by Philiy Bascom of Philadelphia.” “Bascom! By God! You don’t mear it?” “But I do; and more than that, all his fortune Is invested in this one enterprise; that Is why I consented tc assume command, and sail the Indian Chief across to Germany.” There was a moment’s silence. “Bascom,” he repeated at last. “You learned this from the ship's papers?” “I learned it from his own lips—the man himself is on board.” He breathed heavily from surprise; then laughed. “Lord, this is some news, Hollis,” he managed to ejaculate, “but surely you hardly expect me to be sympathetic, do you?” “No, I hardly expect it,” unable to disguise my intense disgust at his tone. “Ifowever, Philip Bascom is here, ru- ined by your persecution, crippled for life by'the cowardly bullet—” “Now,. look here, Hollis,” he broke in,-“if-you think I am. going -to-stand for your bullying any longer, you're mistaken, It’s my turn to talk.” “Zours! What will you talk with— money?” “Perhaps,” he sneered, “and with men alsg. In the first place, I might as well tell you, I don’t give a d— who owns this ship. Of course you gave me a jolt by saying that this man Bascom was on board, but, after all, that’s nothing to me. We had our fight, and he learned the same lesson others have, that Fergus McCann is perfectly able to take care of himself. Now I'm ready to teach the same thing to Mr. Robert Hollis of Chicago. This is no small boat in mid-Atlantic, where you can bully me because of your phys- ical strength. You made a mistake, Hollis, playing me for a fool. I've got your number already.” “You are quite sure of that?” “You bet I am, but I'm not going to say any more about it tonight. To- morrow I'll talk with you again.” He turned away, the shrug of his shoulders picturing contempt, and a studied insolence which set my blood boiling. With the grip of one hand I | flung him back against the rail, and held. hin: there. . “No, we'll discuss it right now,” I said sternly, “but I'll do the talking in your place. You haven't anything to tell me, I know what your plans are already. I know what you are attempt- ing to accomplish, and I know your purpose. You have found a few ruf- fians forward who will take your dirty gold. To gain control of the others, you have ‘played up the war scare. You think now that the time has come when you can act—is that so?” He wriggled in an effort to break free of my grip, and I let go of him in utter contempt. “You would find out,” he snarled An- grily, “if I called for help.” “But you are not going to call for help, for if you even open your lips for that purpose, you are going to die right where you stand. Take that seriously, McCann. You are endeavoring to in- cite mutiny on board, and under the law of the sea, I can kill you for it. Now, I confess my feeling toward you 1s not a tender one, but there is going tobe no bloodshed if I can avoid it. Where have you bunked?” “Amidship.” “Petty. officers’ quarters, Well, I prefer having you aft. There is a va- cant statervbom below. Walk ahead of me to the cabin, and go down the steps.” “You'll pay for this in the morn- ing.” “Do not worry about the morning, my man. Trust me to take care of your friends forward when the time comes. This is not my first voyage. Move on!” Sullenly he left the rail, and crossed the deck to the companion, with me trailing a step behind. I was aware that Olson was leaning out over the poop-rail watching our dim figures, wondering, no doubt, what was occur- or remove my eyes from the upware prisoner. “Below there,” the mate called, gruffly, “what's going on?” “It is all right, Mr. Olson,” I an- swered, speaking quietly. “I'll explain later. Open the door, McCann, and go straight down.” He must have realized the utter fu- tility of resistance, for he never even turned his head, marching before me down the stairs, and across the de- serted cabin. I threw open the door next to Bascom’s statercora, switched on the light, and glanced within, keep- ing my grasp herd on McCann's arm. His eyes met mine, black with a coward’s hatred. “By God! if you wasn’t armed—” I swung him about in sudden disgust, flinging him forward, and he fell sprawling on the deck, overturning the stool. The next instant I had closed the door and locked it, dropping the key into my jacket pocket. There had been little noise, scarcely enovgh to arouse the sleepers below, and it was with a feeling of decided relief, that I returned to the open deck. I climbed the ladder, joining Olson at the port rail. Two men were at. the wheel, which bucked sufficiently to keep them busy. “You are off a couple of points, lads,” I said, “Can’t you hold her any closer?” “Not the way the sea is running. air,” answered a voice I recognized as Sirams’, “unless w@ raise a bit more jib, and the mate thought it best -not to risk the canvas.” : “Right, no doubt, but hold her down the best you can.” “Aye, aye, sir.” The response was cheerful enough, and I crossed the deck to where Olson stood, in somewhat better frame of mind. “You are not exactly holding to the course, Mr. Olson,” I said, but not un- kindly, “and Simms tells me you thought it best not to shake out an- other reef in the Jib.” “It would only strain the old hooker ‘to buck these seas, sir,” he replied, “and as you had no observation, I hardly thought a point or two would make much difference.” “Nor does it; only I prefer to be consulted on such matters hereafter. You must have had some other rea- son?” He glanced about to make sure of our distance from the men at the wheel. “Well, in a way I suppose I did, sir,” he admitted slowly. “The watch for- ward is sullen, an’ I had no desire to stir them up unless there was some real need. It’s Liverpool’s turn on deck, Mr. Hollis, an’ he an’ never was no friends. If 1 was’ to give an order, and then had to go forward to make ‘em hold, it might start up quite a row, sir.” “Quite a sensible decision. It may interest you to know that I have just cut Liverpool’s claws—his friend Me- Cann is below, safely locked up.” “Exactly, sir. That. was what oc curred.on the main deck just now? He was very quiet about it, sir. Is it true what I-hear-that he is a real New York millionaire? And you are not a real sailor, Mr. Hollis, but just a yachtsman?” “Has McCann been circulating that yarn forward?” “He has, sir. Simms just told me the story at the wheel.” “Well, then, listen to me, Mr. Olson, and then see to it that the word gets to the crew. I was a member of a yachting party when we suffered ship- wreck, but I’m no yachtsman, I’ve served before the mast, Mr. Olson, and won every grade up to a captaincy in the old Atlas line. I Know the sea and its way from forecastle to after cabin, and any time those lads forward there want to take my measure, the chance is wide open. You understand?” “T do, sir,” and I thought there was more respect In the tone. “Good; there will be no trouble to- night?” ‘ “T think not, sir; but by morning they will begin to wonder what has become of this man McCann, and may grow ugly.” “We can handle them by daylight. It is darkness which gives them an advantage. I'll return to the main deck, Mr. Olson, and leave you in charge here.” \ (To be continued.)
