Let every American who once was a German or who feels bound to Germany by ties of blood and tradition read again Mr. Janke’s letter: Iam a German by descent and an Ameri- can by choice. I think America, my coun- try, very much for the privileges we have had. This is a free country, and we want to keep it free from the taint of Germany, because the German government holds the German people as serfs, and nothing good can come from slavery. The sole interest of Germans in this country in Germany should be the establish- ment in our old country of a government such as we have in the United States and the hope that when such a government is established our former fellow-countrymen may find as good a man to lead them as our President Wilson so that German people may really be free from Hun slavery. We Americans of German descent are fighting for liberty not only for ourselves and fellow Americans but for our relatives and friends in the old country. We must look at it in this light; we must win the war, and forever kill the power of the kaiser. (Signed) S&S. F. JANKE, Underwood, N. D. To make the world safe for democracy we must |make Germany safe. So long as the present spirit | cailed. did not impress the | MIDDLEWEIGHT | CHAMPION DIES! | Hove, Eng, “April 4.—Charlie Mit: j | chel, one time middleweight cham- locomotor ataxia. | Charley Mitchell was born at Birm-| ingham, Eng., ‘November 24, 1861. Al- though he fought many ring battles jagainst big men like Sullivan, Cor-) bdett, Cardiff, McCaffery, Kilrain and | Burke, Mitchell was a middleweight pugilist, never turning the seales at more than 154 pounds when in perfect | condition. His remarkably fast foot work and skilful boxing offset this | | disadvantage in weight and he proved ; to be equally effective as a punisher ; When fighting either wit hor without | padded gloves, | Mitchell's first ring battle was with | bare knuckles when at the age of, 1 {he knocked out Bob Cunningham at | Birmingham, the bout lasting almost ;one hour. He scored several other | | victories during the two following) y 's in bouts in England and on the} ; continent. | | Defeats Cleary. | | After winning the middleweight and | | heavy ight championships of E: | land in 1882 Mitchell came to America | in 1883 with the intention of challeng- | ing John L. Sulliva The re of |the “Brummagen lad” as he then | merican followers of pugilism. but when Mitch- ell met and defeated ‘Mike Cleary, a New York heavyweight, in three rounds he was quickly accepted as an opponent for Sullivan. These ‘two met at the (Madison Square. garden in a | four round glove fight, under Mar- quis of Queensbury ‘rules on May 14, 1882. The British boxer surprised the rounds, and after some heavy’ ex- | changes he scored a clean knockdown with.a perfectly timed right smash to Suliivan’s jaw, sending the Eoston an to the ring floor amid the wildest | 2xcitement. LOAN MEASURE PASSED SENATE "WITHOUT DELAY Provision for Many Billions is Carried in Bill Which Goes To Conference Washington, L. C., April 4.—In rec- ord breaking time the senate late to- dav passed the new liberty loan bill authorizing $4,500,900,000 more war bonds, additional loans of $1,500,000, 000: to the allies and increase of the treasury inSebtedness certificates from $4,000,000,000 to $8,000,000,000. | The measure already has. been passed | by the house, and slight differences | now will be adéusted in conference, | Jt is possible even that the house | will accept minor amendments and pion of England, died Wednesday of! 12,000 spectators: by meeting Sulli-| make a conference unnecessary. As | van's teritic rushes in the opening | avnroved by the senate without a roll call and after less than an hour's per- functuary debate, all important pro- retained, All congressional leaders agree that the bill must be law before |the new liberty loan campaign be- gins Saturday, and it is hoped to send the measure to the president tomor- | row. ‘During today’s debate, Chairman | Simmons, of the finance committee. said that wit henactment of the bond legislation all treasury needs could be met this year and that frther war revenue legislation would not be nec- essarv until the session of congiff/ess next December, Similar views recent- | iy were expressed by democratic lead- ‘er Kitchen of the house. | Should the war continue for a long | neriod. and it became necessary to send three or four million men across the seas, Senator Simmons said, the expense of the government of course | would be increased and there would | have to be some increase in taxes. | During his explanation of the pro- ' visions of the bill, Senator Simmons, also. told the senate that Secretary McAdoo felt that it will be unneces- j sary to increase the future interest visions of the house measure were; THURSDAY, “APRIL: 4, 1918: rate-on bonds, Replying to.a, question by Senator Lewis, of Illinois, he. said there is nothing‘in the bill to’ prevent the allies from spending the mohey loaned them outside of the’ United States if that is shown tobe neces- 8 ary. To avoid delay the senate struck out the clause, which caused the house to recall and re-adopt the bill, prohibiting banks from using bonds to evade state -taxation. aS ee ' BLOOD POISONING Hamlin’s Wizard Oil a Safe First Aid Treatment How often lockjaw and blood poisoning result from the’ neglect of a slight scratch or little cut! Ham- lin’s Wizard Oil'is a safe and effec- tive first aid treatment. It is a pow- erful antiseptic and should be ap- plied immediately to wounds ‘of this i kind to prevent danger of infection. It is soothing and healing and quickly drives out pain and inflam- mation in cases of sprains, bruises, cuts, burns, bites and stings. Just-as reliable, too, for stiff neck, sore feet, cold sores, canker sores, earache and toothache. Get it from druggists for 30 cents. If not satisfied return the bottle and get your money back.

As a preliminary to the local canvass for the knees now, there would be the same menace for | Third Liberty Loan, the reception given Judge'future generations to face. America is as truly) Wade last evening spelled success. The packed fighting for the liberty of Germany as it is fight-| house, the enthusiastic responses that emphatic-' ing for liberty for Belgium and for France and for ally punctuated the address, were evidence enough our own land. The autocracy which plunged the) of the Bismarck spirit that carries every war! world into this war not only must be defeated. It | activity over the top. /must and shall be exterminated, weeded out, root The distinguished jurist was right when he} said that Men, Money and Spirit were needed to! win this war for the preservation of democracy—| not democracy alone, but civilization itself. Judge, Wade declared that of the three, the spirit of the people was most important for if that were right wheat to $2.50 a bushel, would you sell it for $2.20? Neither would we. iP then there was no difficulty in securing the men) : and the money. | His emphasis of the necessity that the Ameri- can people adjust their vision now was timely. The United States has been in the war almost a year.) A long suffering government has leniently treated | malcontents and dealt lightly with those who have} uttered sedition. A nation was in the process of | readjustment. But after one year, any American} citizen who is not in possession of the facts in-| volved in this war is not worthy of the name and| in the vernacular of Judge Wade should be “put! away.” | The sowers of class hatred, still going through; the rural districts of this state trying to break, down the morale of the people, must be brought to} book soon. Judge Wade intimated that congress would place additional power in President Wilson’s hands to reach the sowers of discord. | What Judge Wade said of these malcontents is! absolutely true. If conditions did exist which de-| manded such radical action as these agitators pro-| pose, now. is not the time to urge such action. But} such conditions do not exist. Any sane man knows! that the whole damnable doctrine is false. The} Tribune will not deny that here in our own good state many good and loyal citizens have been im- pressed by this gospel, dinned into their ears for) the past decade by every embryo reformer who, being-on the outside and desiring to get on the in- side, must find some new cause with which to go before the people. These people are not dishonest | nor disloyal. They simply are making the mistake of letting others do their thinking for them, and these others, too often, are entirely conscienceless, | unscrupulous and unbalanced. | If conditions were one hundredth part as bad in America as Mr. Townley has represented them to be, the North Dakota farmer never would have been able to scrape together the more than $3,-| and branch, if the world is to be forever safe for | democracy. If you had any wheat, and you knew that the United States senate favored raising the price of A New York man being sued for divorce admits he lost his temper, but says it was because his wife insisted on reading Tagore’s poetry aloud.) We con’t understand why he fights the divorce. The mysterious.shelling of Paris is having no effect upon the morale of the Parisians, says a cablegram. We believe it. It is only when there’s nothing new going on that the Parisian morale becomes sick. | WITH THE EDITORS | HOPELESS SOCIAL PROJECTS | The death is reported in New Zealand of a man} named Lane, who before the war attempted to/ found a socialist colony in Paraguay, to be called; New Australia. The scheme worked out well enough on paper, but there was so much complaint over the division | of the work that the colony failed. Everybody, as elsewhere, seemed to be after the best jobs, and the harder and more unpleasant work was shirked. But someone had to do it. :. Another communist colony, the socialist settle- ment founded by Job Harriman, near Los Angeles | several years ago, is also being forsaken. These communities, which began in this Coun-| try with the New Harmony attempt in Indiana, | and were continued in the Brook Farm experiment of so great fame, all come to the same end. ‘Little relief for the future is seen along such lines, Any| community that endeavors to detach itself from/ society in general is doomed to failure in the very| nature of things. There are essential things for) 500,000 which he has poured into Townley’s hands | in less than three years. Of course, Mr. Townley | knows this. But his sole hold on the people comes} from their discontent, and he must keep that dis-! content at fever heat. And when he continues in| this viciou ce at a time when America needs | the prosecution of this war and/ are above all else impor- Judge Wade said of | rves every epithet that! ot mention Townley, Le-| 2, Thomason, Bowen, Kate he other Bolshevik leaders. He did not have to. No one of the 1,200 who heard Judge Wade last night had any doubt as to the organization and the individuals to whom he referred. None in that au Suc S, Richards O'Hare. ar e had forgotten the fact that these men an organization never have repudiated th ition which they gave LaFollette an opportunity to spout from the platform of their St. Paul Pro and Con convention. None could forget that the organs which Mr. Townley controls we openly defended LaFollette from that day to is. North Dakota members of the Nonpartisan league would do a wise act to repudiate LaFollette and his St. Paul utterances and shame their lead- ers who decline to apologize for that un-American spectacle. THE PROPER PERSPECTIVE It seems to The Tribune that no American of German descent who reads the letter which S. F. Janke of Underwood published in the “People’s Forum” yesterday can fail to have his perspective improved. Mr. Janke holds that no American of Teutonic ancestry ‘can reasonably feel any sympa- thy for the Hohenzollern autocracy which has the fatherland by the throat. One might love the old home, and yet, returning in after years to find it a den for rattlesnakes, not be expected to embrace its new tenants. 3 _The Germany of today is not the Germany which the German-Russian citizens of the Slope _ know through tradition running back 200 years. It is not the Germany of a half-century ago, nor the Germany of three generations back, which gave to America so many thousands of \its_stur- diest pioneers and so many of the bravest defen- ders of the union when a rebellion assailed its intecrity. is Reared in a new school, unfortunately not even the present-day German of the fatherland is the German which our Americans of Teutonic birth or descent knew. A strange and terrible, though silent, change has ‘taken place in the fatherland. The seeds so insidiously planted and so carefully cultivated by. the military dynasty have produced a.rank growth such as the soil of German kultur which it must depend upon the world outside. Then! there is a benumbing sense of separation,and lack} of fellowship with a world in which its members| must live. , Whatever its final goal or form, if one there be,| society will move toward it as a body. The re- modelers of society often have noble“ideals, but | they are impractical. Only through fellowship) with the practical workers of the world will ad- vance in the social order be made and maintained. | —Minneapolis Journal. | “WISCONSIN IS LOYAL” | Wisconsin is.a loyal state—but not so over- whelmingly loyal as it ought to be, and as_it will) be, when the issues of this war are better under- stood among some of its foreign-born citizens, In the primary of Tuesday, the combined loyal-| ist vote, cast for Lenroot, Davies and Mc€arthy, | exceeded the combined disloyalist vote‘ cast for| Thompson and Berger, by more than thirty-three| thousand. Thus it appears that Wisconsin is more! ithan fifty-seven per cent loyal. . . | The nomination of Lenroot, Davies and Berger | as the republican, democratic and socialist candi-| dates, means a triangular contest and:a division of | | the loyalist vote in the election a week from next | Tuesday—unless Mr. Davies withdraws. é | ; Mr. Davies ought to withdraw, just as former Governor McGovern withdrew from’ the republi- can contest in order to unite the loyalist vote. It, | was evident to Mr. McGovern that: his. candidacy | imight result in the victory of Thompson, the dis-; loyal LaFollette candidate. The result shows that | )he was right and that his withdrawal saved the | day for the republicans. . It was a fine example of patriotism, involving the sacrifice of a laudable | personal ambition. | The case now is very jsimilar. received more than fifty per cent of the total loyal-! |ist vote, whereas Davies polled less than forty per | ‘cent. The democratic candidate should withdraw ‘in order to make it absolutely certain that the dis- loyal, pre-German socialist candidate will be de-| feated, and a senator elected who stands four-! square for America. | President Wilson wrote to a New Jersey demo- | cratic gathering last night that “the old party slogans have lost their significance,” that “every | program must be shot through and through with | utter disinterestedness,” and that “no party must try to serve itself, but every party must try to serve humanity.” Yet a group of national democratic speakers is to be turned loose in Wisconsin in an endeavor to take the senatorship away from Mr. Lenroot, the majority candidate of the majority party.” ‘Doubtless, Mr. Davies should withdraw, but there is little prospect of it. Nevertheless, we be-| lieve Mr. Lenroot will be elected. The Thompson vote cannot be turned over in a mass to the openly disloyal. socialist, Berger.—Minneapolis Journal, t | ' i Lenroot- has ° dollars to our allies to be spent im the United States. ‘ 2 From the shipyards of the Pacific to those of .the Atlantic; on our farms and in our mines, mills and factories in every State in the Union; back of the firing lines in France, where men are training, camps are being erected and railroads built, billions upon billions ‘are being expended for labor, for trans- portation, for materials and supplies of every description. | E are now building more naval and merchant ships than we have constructed in the last generation.
