' | In God’s name let us make that supreme effort | ( and save the world from another winter of universal, unprecedented human misery and loss! If President Wilson asks one me: give him two. If he a one wheatless day, give him three. If he orders coalless Monda our soldiers 3,000 miles away may feed as well fight, let’s put our very best face best.

What is ne js that all should work their hardest, save their level | best and sacrifice all save the necessaries. Our supreme effort means life instead of starva-| tion to millions of the poor of Europe. It mean saving of the lives of thousands of our brave be at the front. It means return to our normal home- life and business-life. i In effect, our president puts all of us in battle array. The enemy is before us. The decision is to be made. The test is upon us. And if we are recreant, we, and the whole civilized world with us; go under | the merciless heel of militarim, It shall not be! We are ready, Mr. President! Would you have | more men? They are yours. More billion We save. More foodstuffs? We will produce and saeri- fice. More loyalty? The hope you put in us inspires a greater sentiment than patriotism—the determina- tion to strike for and save our brothers throughout the whole world. Ask, and we will give. Seck, and ye shall find our all within reach of your hand! Peace, honorable, humane peace, this year? May the Almighty put the power for it in our supreme effort! ' ve as usual, let’s make war business TURN ON THE LIGHT! After all the fault finding as to details, the coun- try now knows that Uncle Sam did a big job ina big} way—and didn’t shout it from the housetops while | he was doing it. Tt appears now that instead of being negligent | jn the matter of making heavy artillery, we are} playing the game according to agreement with our} allies—letting them make the big guns for us. As shipping is the crucial thing in winning the} war, the tonnage saved for other purposes, by he ing the allies make our big guns, is vastly important. It means more food, supplies and more American sol- diers transported. It is enough to know, however, that our part of the general allied program has been and is being completely performed. We are doing what our allies want us to do, all that they expect us to do and the way they want us to do it. We believe it would be good policy in the future for the war department to make public all the infor- mation it possibly can about the conduct of the war. | Yes, it would be well to give the public information even: if some of it does reach Germany. The people are well united in support of the pres- ident. They want to back him up to a victorious} finish. But they ought to know enough about the war to enable them to avoid the snares laid for their] judgment by any who want to play politics with the| war.

THE LABOR SUPPLY Seeretary Wilson said three weeks ago that the supply of labor was sufficient for our industries, the | problem to be solved being one of adjustment, This assertion is now repeated by the United States-em- ployment service, which, under the direction of the department of Labor, has set out to make a census of the nation’s workingmen and to provide for dis tribution of them by means of local offices or e3 changes. Help will be given -by labor unions and existing state organizations, Evidence in support of the encouraging conclusion that supply is equal to demand is found in published reports from all parts of the country. In several large cities there is nei- ther surplus nor shortage. But in many places the scales are not evenly balanced. And in some indus- tries there are more applicants for work than can be employed, while in others the addition of hundreds is needed. The employment service must transfer men from one state to another and satisfy the re- quirements of industries, beginning with those which are of vital importanee, At the head of the list are the shipyards and the factories where war supplies are made. It has been estimated that not 1 than 100,000 workers should be added to the shipbuilding forces in the next four or five months. These, it is expeeted, will be drawn from a volunteer reserve of mechanies for which the emergency fleet corporation hopes to find 250,000 men, taking a majority of these from indus- tries that may be called nonessential. Provision for the farms will be made, but in this part of the em ployment service’s task there can be some delay. The importance of giving to the farmers sufficient help in the coming spring cannot be overestimated. It is realized in this state, where Governor Whitman suggests conseription. On the other hand, Senato: Brown, at the head of a committee which is to make careful inquiry about farm needs, points out that drafted men would be unwilling workers, and that many of them would not be properly qualified. This is true, and a sufficient number of volunteers may be found if the state authorities cooperate with the national employment service in a search for them. Ships must be built and munitions must be pro-} duced, but at the same time farmers should be en- couraged to make large crops. Those who are regis- tering, recruiting, and distributing workmen must have in mind the needs of agriculture—New York Times. NORTH DAKOTA ANNUALLY LOSING $3,000,000 Because of mail order business North Dakota is losing each year the equivalent of a city of 2,000 people. Chairman Packard of the state tax commission is authority for the statement that each year, $10,- 000,000 is sent out of this state to eastern mail order houses. Jf this business had been retained here it would have required 200 additional merchants,’each doing an annual business of $50,000 and requiring the ser- vices of 2,000 employes. The mail order business represents a direct mone- tary loss to the state of $3,000,000, the average cost 6f doing business and supporting these 200 employes; money which goes out of the state never returns. For the remaining $7,000,000 goods of equal value and not seconds, could have been secured here, for the same price, had it not been for those who thoughtlessly send their money out of the state. North Dakota today should be $3,000,000 richer than it was last year, instead of being $3,000,000 poorer. uff with NEWS NOTE: THE KAIS: we rf ER TORY TO FRESH U-BOAT DRIVE.

BRESLOW. saeapieineh) OF GOAL AHBAD IN MANY STATES Condition Taroughout the East is Very Serious as Reported by Commissioners NEW YORK STOCK IS GONE Cold Wave With Wind and Drift- ing Snows Paralizes Movement of Cars Washington, D. G., Feb. 5.—A crill- cal situation throughout the east was pictured to Fuel Administrator Garfield today by a doze state fuel administrators called to ‘Washington for a conference on general fuel cun- ditions, ‘Soserious is the shortage in some states that a number of administra- tors urged that there be no suspension of the Monday closing order until con- ditions are ‘bettered, In theso states, it was, declared, the people are only a day ahead with their coal supply. Tenements in Distress Tho administrator for New York City said that apartment houses and tenements were exhausing their sup- plies and that coal was not availale to fill the demand. New ‘Hampshire, with a three day supply, had the most favorable report to make of all the states represented. Pennsylvania, Del- aware, Maryland and Michigan all re- ported they were depedent on day to day shipments. . Monday Closing. é Suspension of the ‘Monday closings will be discussed tomorrow at a con- ference between Dr, Garfield and Dir- ector General McAdoo, At the conclus- jon of a conference last week at which the subject was taken up it was indi- cated that last Monday might be the last of the closing days, but tonight fuel administration officials appeared inclined to. be doubtful as to whether the. order would be lifted. Cold Wave Over East Tecause of another cold wave over the east, accompanied by. high wind, which drifted snow badly, the rail- roads today. failed to establish the coal hauling record for which officials had hoped, in preparation for the decision tomorow whether to abandon the fuel- less Mondays in the future. By largely disregarding general freight on tic lines, however, the quality of coal de- livered was reported a little higher than in preceding days. Monday Closing Demoralizing Railroad administration officials con- tinue, to. insist that the interfering with normal loading.and unloading ac- tivities by the Monday closing at freight terminals did more to disrupt the smooth working of the cariers than the suspension of business. con- tributed to help. This is the attitude which Director..General McAdoo is expected to assume: when he discus- ses the industrial suspension ordér with Fuel Administrator Garfield to- morow. CANADIAN SUSPENSION Central Provinces Suspend Industries for. Three Days, Ottawa, Can., Feb, 5.—An order in council; was adopted by the: cabinet last night upon recommendation of C.

ESCHEAT FUNDS ARE SUFFICIENT TO PAY FOR EXTRA SESSION Montana has Sinews of War With. out Need of Depleting State Treasury NOT REQUIRED OF SOLONS TO SERVE WITHOUT COST Helena, Mont.," ‘Feb. 5.—The chief item of interest developed today in regard to the special session of the Montana assembly, called for Thurs- day, February 14, by .Governor |S. V, Stewart, lies in the discovery. that the expenses of the session may ‘be more than paid by the money held -by the state in the escheated, estates fund, the various amounts of which are in different conditions but efforts will be made to haye all the money placed in the general. fund which would make *| available at once more than enough. Attention was attractéd to these various amounts Monday when Thom- as Helfin, of the state examiner's of- fice, discovered over $14,000 of the Pomeroy estate’ money i nthe school funds which should properly be placed at this timé'in the general fund. ‘With this sum of money—$42,000 —available the legislature could stay in session’ for ten days, pass the bills suggested, collect per diem and mile- age and still leave the capital without denting the general fund or using money of the taxpayers. While doubtless many members will be able to serve without pay, some of those elected are not financially able to come to Helena for two weeks or more and pay their mileage and living expenses while here, and it is said to be unreasonable to expect a large nubber of the members to serve with- out compensation.
