ROBERT Meteorogol GERMAN Impudence reached its climax when the kaiser’s “socialist” tool, Scheide: mann, gave out a statement which practically demanded that the all lay down their arms on the prom that the democratic forces of Germany after the war will clip the claws of kaiserism. The best reason why the allies will do no such thing is Scheidemann him self, and creatures of his sort, who have bulked so large in what has passed for German “democracy.” On his own showing Scheidemann is either a poltroon or a crook—perhaps both. Before the war he and his fel- low jabberers talked much of democ- racy and internationalism, but they always ducked for cover when the militarists rattled their sabers. After the war began, they crawled on their hands and knees to the foot of :the throne to lick the kaiser’: boots. They applauded the ruin of Belgium and practically every act of| of President Townley’s numerous spe. frightfulness. They echoed the boasts of German “efficiency” and kultur. In the reichstag they ‘voted the money to pay the assassins of Belgium and northern France. Later on, when the militaristic game had reached its losing stage and pei was necessary, it was Scheidemann and his crowd of sleek, well fed “so- cialis! the counterparts of our own fat Bergers and unctious Tillquits— who were employed to spread the nets of the Stockholm conference and the kindred peace traps, all fashioned in the workshops of Germany or her nen- tral tools, Holland, Sweden or Den- mark. To the REAL socialists of Germany, the small remnant of r wey remaining in the country, Scheide- mann and his clique are “ cialists,” and have been denounced as such to the entire world by Haas Ledebour and Liebknecht. If German democracy is to he achieved, either during or after the war, it will have to be achieved by other hands than the fatted paws of Scheidemann and his kind. If Ger- man democracy depends on such peo- ple, its cause is indeed desperate. Never before the war did their oppo- sition to autocracy amount to more than windy harangues in the power- less debating society called the reich- stag. After the war began it never amounted to more tian a feeble! squeak of protest at some particularly revolting phase of frightfulness, and whenever the kaiser called them to the task they obediently undertook the work of trying to get a “German peace” by hoodwinxing the liberal forces of the allied world. Can anyone imagine German democ- racy led by such creatures as Scheide- mann overthrowing kafserism after a war which ends in a successful peace for the kaiser? No; if the German people want peace they can get it by paying the price, which is the overthrow of autoc: racy. -But they must deliver the goods} first. Their record requires payment | in advance, for they never showed | that they could rule themselves before} the war, and by allowing themselves to be ruled by autocracy and led into war they have cost the world millions of lives, billions of property, and heart- breaks immeasurable. They proved unfaithiul,to the world once—they cannot be trusted again un- a democ ec, THE KING OF THE HUNS. Seventeen years ago when German troops were about to depart from | merhaven to help suppr the Box ers’ rebellion in China and secure re- venge for what had been done to Ger- er Wilhelm sald among oth- mans, K er thin, If you meet the enemy, you will defeat him, give no quarter, make no prisoners; let whoever falls in your hands be doomed. Just as a thousand years ago the Jluns, un- der their King Etzel, made for themselves a name which to this day is a mighty one in tradition, so may your appearance make the name German for a thousand years in China, so never again will a Chinaman dare to look askance at any German.” be feared Substitute for the word “Chinaman the word “allies” and the speech might have been made at the begin- ning of this war. The spirit of ruthlessness, of Hun- nish savagery, of utter sregard Of restraint which breathed in the words of the kaiser in 1900 is just as alive in his heart today andyin the hearts of his men. ‘The Germans have not made civilized human ‘They have made war as it was made a thousand ye: They have made war as their ancestors made it war as beings make war. AO. long hefore that, ‘before the religion of the God of Love had been preached to them, The God to whom the kaiser is al- ways appealing and of whose aid he is always so cocksuve 18 not the God of the Christian world. It is the God of his Hunnish ancestors, a God of battles, a God that rejotees in blood No man, not even the emperor of the Huns, could dare appeal to the God we worship, when his hands are dripping with the blood of the inno- cents. His minions have outraged women and mutilated children, car ried off the helpless into slavery, civilians upon the sassinated seas. In no way, as a brute and a bar- barian, is King Etzel the superior of Kaiser Wilhelm. They are from the same mould. Just as King Etzel made for himself a name, so has the Hohen- zollern—a name of infamy which will be execrated by generations yet un- orn. The difference between paving and dirt streets speaks for itself after a shower or two. Herbert C. Hoover has a disconcert- ing way of using the agitators’ ammu- nition against themselves. Park Commissioner Preston sug- gests ultra-violet rays as a cure for spooning. It can’t be done. Patriotism with reservations, men- tal and otherwise, appears to be one cialties. By all means suspend the federal inspection rules, at least until there is horn some superman who can inter- pret them. It begins to appear that the Peace Council, with the aid of distinguished pacifists in the state, put over its con- vention at Fargo after all. The boys are off, embarked upon the greatest adventure In the history of civilization, and may the God of Right ever march with them. After all the strenuous dancing they have had an opportunity to enjoy this summer, an occasional 20 mile hike should be nothing at all for the North Dakota guardsmen when they go into training. There was a time when our public men in this great state of North Da- kota did not ard it nec ry to qualify their patriotism. Those were the good old days when Americans were for America, first last’ and al- ways without any “ifs.” Now President Townley will have a chance to refer to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers as “contempti- ble and unpatriotic,” for they took the same view of the governor's invita- tion to the pro-German peace council agitators and the wobblies and others of that ilk as did the United Commer- cial travelers of Minot, “a small co- terie of traveling men, representing big business in and outside the state,” according to Mr. Towniey. official /announcement that it has no peace terms to announce contains no news. No peace can come from German official sources. Presi- dent Wilson made that fact quite plain in his note to the pope. German ofli- cialdom doesn’t enter into peace con- siderations of the allies. Peace, when it is made, will be made with the German people, and not with a de- generate aristocracy with lust for] blood unsatiated.

The whole nation r “vith the movement of the selective forces. men represent approsimately 45 per cent of the total quota under the first call from each of nearly 5,000 local boards. Already at the c s is the vance guard of five per total, composed of experienced men, including cooks. Out of this has been created a skeleton organization inte which the second increment will be-| 2! gin to be absorbed tomorrow with lit- tle confusion, When the last men of this increment arrive, the camps will house half of the first call of forces, or 343.500 men, and the other half will follow as rapidly as avarters anc equipment are made available. In a statement today the war de- partment says the enormous talk of obtaining equipment and supplies tor the army is moving _ satisfactorily. Some of the men of the national army may be only partially equipped for some time after they are mobilized, and no attempt will be made to fur nish them with full war equipment un- til the eve of their departure for E rope. Some civilion clothing, such overcoats, will have to be used for a time, as the clothing industry has not as yet caught up with its work. May Be Deficiency. With the movil i der the selectiv gress, the question a er that number of men will be s cient to fill all units of the national guard and national army. There are indications that a deficiency in men will be disclosed when official reports from all the 32 training camps ar available Recreational Program. The biggest recreational program ever staged in America continuous performance to last for the duration of the war, with an annual support- ing fund of at least fourteen million started today at the sixteen national army cantonments.
