As on Monday night, it became necées- sary; to close the doors to the Auditorium long before the hour an- notipeed for tle opening of Dr. Mor- an’s address. Every seat was taken; every available foot of standing’ room had: been requisitioned. Between 300 and 500 workers in the varfous war causes were brought to the’ capital city for this conference. They ‘were truly representative men and’ women who will carry home to thefr. communities the ' inspiration whith they have drawn from the sec- tion meetings, when experiences were exchanged and new ideas garnered, and from the wonderful addresses of Charles Edward Russell, Joseph C. Gréw, Dr. Henry C. Culbertson and Dr. James Moran—a galaxy of orators whose equal never before had been’as- sembléd at one time in North Dakota: All who participated are more than satisfied with the results obtained. Sedretary F. O. Hellstrom and the LEADERS FATE, CO TASK, MUST WI Great Socialist Declares Most Tremendous Mo- ment in All Human History at Hand “This is the most tremendous mo- Hietit in all hunian history, and we of the United States hold the key to the situation,” Charles Edward Russell told North Dakota audiences which filled to overflowing the municipal auditorium and the Grand theatre and which at the close of his address- es cheered him fully five minutes. “I have been candid; I have told you the truth—I do not believe Ameri- cans are afraid of the truth. -You may believe I am pessimistic, but if the 28rd article of war could be waived and our staff officers allowed to speak they would tell you things that would convince you I have been over-opti- mistic. America is in this war, to win or lose. If we lose, we lose all that we have lived and struggled for; all that Americanism has come to mean to the world. “Fellow Americans, unless you do win this war, you are threatened with conditions under which you would find it practically impossible to exist.” Germany's Vast Hordes Fifteen hundred thousand German and Austrian war prisoners, well-fed, in the pink of condition, splendidly equipped, the finest of fighting men, are released from Russian prison camps by the new peace. Onc hun- dred forty-seven army divisions, 2,- 800,000 men, who have been guarding the east front are released.

The next big loyalty conference willbe held in Bismarck following the spring seeding, supplementing a state- wide drive which will place on fecord as {fi thorough accord with the goveri- ment and anxious to give it his or her most earnest support every loyal Am- erican citizen of North Dakota. \THETHIRD | | LIBERTY | | LOAN | | Are You Ready to Do Your | | Share When Your Local Committee Calls on You? | THE third issue of Liberty Loans will be iplacel on sale soon.

If the Prussian and Turkish mili- tary’ caste prevails in this war and thelf doctrine that “Might makes Right” prevails they will rule the‘en- tire world. Their iron heels have al- ready crushed, Serbia, Belgium, Pol- and, most of Rumania and a part of Frdnce. By treachery and force they have grasped’ a considerable part of Ruésia. Shotild they crush France, Italy and England the world will be theirs. Sweden, Norway and. Holland will speedily follow the fate‘of Russia. Our own country will fail as an inde: pendent, self-governing nation and what weslave believed was a success ful) experiment in democracy will be a vanished dream., 3 Everything is’ at .stake for those who are real Americans, and devoted to the principles of liberty for which our government stands. There is no sacrifice too great: for us to make in this crisis... Phe winning of this war depends-upon our country.

He pleaded for loyalty to the administra- tion, in particular to Secretary of War Baker, and decried the dilatory tactics by which congress is, he declared, hampéring the prosecution of this war. “We have wheatless and meatless and sweetless and sleepless days,” de- clared the speaker. “Now the one thing we need is a congressless year. “This is no time for partisan poli- tics. One-fifth of one per cent of the American people know or give a whoop whether John Pershing is a democrat or @ republican. They know he’s the man for the job, and that’s enough. ‘We must deal with the man who trims his sails to meet the breeze; who is loyal today to please one element and disloyal tomorrow to please another. There are only two places for such a congressman—at home, in private life, where no one need listen ‘to him, or over there in Germany with the kaiser.

It is no time to be lenient with those people who are running around burning warehouses aiid eleva- tors and stirring up striles. The rifle or the rope—that’s the way to deal with that situation. Great Britain had to come to it. Every morning a gray door in the tower of London opens and there is lead out some shrinking scoundrel, caught red-handed in the act. Five minutes; a firing squad, and ! all is over! We must lay aside our! pet prejudices and preferences.

There are German spies everywhere—there’s probably one in this room.

The! country is filled with his kind. We owe them no mercy, no consideration —there’s only one cure for them—the firing squad. | “I'm telling you these things because I know America.
