Campbell, who is a mem- ber of the democratic state central committee from Morton, and one ot the strong democrats of the state, said to a Tribune reporter, “I want to see the democrats nominate Judge A. A. Bruce for governor, not becar he is a democrat nor because he is a@ republican, but because he is as loyal as the needle to the pole. With Judge Bruce a nominee on any ticket the loyal citizenship of the state could and would feel sure of having @ man that would measure up to the history of a great state and a great nation. He is a great big man and is as able and fearless in the fight tor honor and truth as the apostles were. “Then his nomination would give us all some one to vote for, some one; who as governor would be loyal, brave and able. At this time it would be a great blessing to the state to have such a man governor. I hove the boys will make a fight for Judge Bruce on an issue that will in truth and in fact be ‘nonpartisan’ loyalty to our government and to our boys in France. I hope and I believe Judge Bruce will consent to be-a candidate and think he will when it is shown him that it is a duty he owes the state and nation. Let loyalty and Jove of country get busy and make the ‘noblest Roman of them all’ be- come the people’s candidate in this great crisis.” DER KAISER’S GOAT ». “Der kaiser’s goat” is being shoved about the city today and up to the present time several Mandanites have taken a bat at the kaiser in this novel way. Judge Nuchols, who is county chairman of the war savings cam- jpaign in this county, had the first chance to ride the goat. Several have ‘een initiated into the ancient, and patriotic order of “Der Kaiser's Goat.” $225,000 FOR MORTON , Morton county's allotment of the ensuing liberty loan has been set at 225,000, according to County Chair- man W.

The city’s; quota will have ‘been. de- termined dy this evening, after which gnnountement will be made. A. H. Peterson, RF. S. Johnstone, Jos. P. ‘Hess and Wm.

All the books. of the Old Testament were written long before the birth of Christ, some of them as much ns 1,400 years before, others from 500 to 1,000 years before, and none less than 300; to 400 years before.

The Misses Peterson, though born in Juneau, now live at Pear Harbor, which is 40 miles from Juneau and hundreds of miles from anywhere else. They are not hampered by social traditions. What their neighbors think does not bother then. If a mule must be shod they do not say, “That is NOT fit work for a wom- an.” If a man fails on a jo», they simply remark, “If you want a thing: well done, go to it, evenif you are a wom- an.” ‘ If a house {burns down,,as their first one did,<they mark out a new site and set to work with their axes work.

CAMOUFLAGE? || Is the Mind of Germany on the East While Her i Allies’ on Troops Are Battling Ours and, Our the West? tata nara Yh (In. this war nothing. has been more conspicuously ‘evident: than the fact that one man’s guess is as good as another's. The following tells in detail what Americans who have had an intimate -and extended connection with the far east have come to believe is the. real significance of the pres- ent eastern situation, taken alongside the latest widely touted Hindenburg drive. The fact that this drive was so much advertised by the Germans themselves before it actually commenced.is in itself: significant.to them. On the other hand it must be borne in mind that the. prepondefance..of. our highest mili ry chiefs look upon the present German efforts as the.real thing, having an end in itself—the winning, either of Faris for the effect of such a victory upon the allied morale, or of the French ports.of Dun- kirk and Calais, to handicap the Brit ‘ish. physically in transporting their troops and supplies to the trenches.—Editor, Tribune.

There are | at least two men who have been taken | into the councils of our government ; who think there is good ground for | believing it is. For obvious reasons | these men may not be named. But sibilities as they point | them out: The powers that be.in Germany figure that fighting in the west is too expensive a proposition to be forced to an early conclusion by either side. They figure that a push through to Paris, even if | possible, would cost too dearly in men. and. materials. to be. serious. ly considered by them at this time. They know how hotly con- testédd any considerable advance they might hope to make in France would be. And they think the allies feel the same way to- ward driving “on to Berlin” this spring or summer, In, other: words, what. German military authorities hope for as regards the west front is to hold the allies to a deadlock, ‘They mean,’ though, to make that deadlock as interesting as possible.) | They have good reason to make it so interesting if they can: that ithe allies will overlook thetr activities—not mil- itary either. YET—in other directions. Hence the-word. “camouflage” as ap- plied to one. of the most tremendous battles the world has evr seen. While the deadlock is on in the west the Germans are using tothe lim: their propaganda organization inthe far east and the still uncorrupted dis- tricts of Russia. In the British col- onies, paid agents of the kaiser are doing their best to stir up revolt in Inda and’ Egypt. In these countries there has always ‘been a strong, under. current of the anti-British feeling among the natives, They are concentrating on ‘China. —on Manchuria, the vast province the Japs, must cross to reach Russia by { land. “The Germans are out; to raise hell in China,”. as a, well, known,.Chinese traveler recent}y put: it, Any kind of hell will do. Conse- uences matter nothing to them. What they are after is to weaken the allies’ military .organization by forcing them to scatter troops. in wide- ly separated parts of:ithe world for purposes of protection. And the German propaganda is con- ;centrated on our eastern ally, Japan. To divide the Japanese government and the Japanese people by false re- y Presentations: and, promises of great ritorial acquisition—‘when ny has won”"—is the object. They even figure that they have got good ground to work on there, many of Japan's. leaders being German- trained men, some with German lean- ings. Ps As far as'the falsé, representations jof the allied cause. and the. allied |strength go, we can judge for our- |Selves, We have hada taste of them right here at -honie,.
