They are! Many women, we read, are painting last year’s straw hats. We take it for granted that many will continue to paint last year’s faces, A WOMAN’S WAR OF SCORN There are worse fates than being shot at sun- One such fate is to be a woman slacker and} lives in Oak Park, out in Illinois. | Rivers of ink and oceans of tears have been| splattered over a “man without a country,” a “wandering Jew,” leper outcasts, pariahs and) homeless dogs—but their sorrows are mild com- pared to those pro-German ladies in Oak Park. Oak Park is a mere village, tremendously fash- ionable withal, but still a village, and of its few! sons are in khaki and it claims the national record | for commissioned officers. Oak Park women feel a natural interest in the} ir and they intend to give their fighters their to strengthen the foundation stone of American sulid support. When they say solid they include, , LYNCHING IN WARTIME | Lynching mobs are not infallible. Often they make mistakes, and these mistakes can never be corrected. Also, the mob is apt to go to the other, extreme and mete out punishment too heavy for) the crime committed. And, mob law breeds de- fiance on the part of those at whom it is aimed. | But it is very likely that there will be mobs as long as the government handles traitors and spies with velvet gloves and punishes them with slight taps on the wrist. ; : | Interning pro-foe cohorts caught in this coun- try in nice, comfortable camps where they are well fed, well housed, and treated as desirable guests, is typically American and humane, but it is a lot like trying to fan out the flames of a burning, building with your hand. It not only fails to put out the fire but spreads the flame. A stern and determined handling of militant pro-Germanism in the United States with a pun- ishment which always has fitted treason will do more to prevent repetions of the Collinsville (Ill.) hanging than any and all appeals to “reason,” and admonitions to “let the law take its course.” The law must take a different course than it has been pursuing in its treatment of rabid anti-Americans or there will be other mobs and other men strung up—and some will be innocent! Hurry up with’ your 105-mile gun, Secretary Daniels! THOU SHALT NOT COVET A Salvation Army adjutant. (ing relief work in France, writes‘ Commander Eva Booth that it is often very hard to follow the dictates of Chris- tianity while hearing daily reports ‘of German atrocities. The particular bit of Hunism that called forth this despairing statement, was—the reported-cutting of the throats of three American soldiers by a dozen German soldiers, The difficulty with such a viewpoint is that it tends to substitute the genius, or quality, of an alie nrace for that of one’s own. It invites us to compete with the Hun on the Hun’s chosen’ and to fight him with a weapon wholly familiar to him practiced ground, to make his morals our morals, and to us wholly unfamiliar. In such a competi- tion the democracies of the world would be de- feated. All that we need to know about the Hun atroci- ties is that they are, that they are an essential/ war! part of the genius of the German autocracy, so} essenial and so characteristic a part that they) sand despite the protest of an entire world. Dem- ocracy, warned as to the weapon being employed against it, must win this war with its own weapon, its own genius, its own quality. And that quality does believe in forgiveness, | does believe in mercy, does believe in overcoming evil with good. And note that word “overcoming.” stke America’s future on our ole triumph of righteousness, ve thing, and the equally inevit able downfzil of the frightful, which is a negative thing. We shall win this war by virt tous own soul; nor shall we covet the soul of the Hua, to whom the cutting of captive throats is a good. Nat Goodwin has j court.

If you invest $100 of your savings the govern- ment will pay you $4.25 every year until it pays back to you the $100. If you put that government-paid interest into a savings bank every six months, getting four per cent interest on it, compounded every six months, you will in 17 years have $100 in the savings bank, which represents what the government paid you for the use of your original $100 plus the com- pounded interest which the bank will pay. And you still have the $100 Liberty Loan bond, drawing interest! Thus in 17 years your $100 has become $200. It may be more, for American experience has been that government bonds bearing as high interest rate as these Liberty Loan bonds sell above par 17 years after the war which they financed: is ended. In fact, United States bonds bearing less interest have sold as high as $125. While bonds of the first and second Liberty} Loans now sell in the bond marts at a trifle below) par, the Third Liberty Loan should not drop in market value, They are to be protected by a five per cent sinking fund which the United States department of treasury intends using as a lever to keep them at par. It is highly important that these bonds be bought and kept by the millions of small investors, the men and women who have from $50 to $1000 to invest, rather than the banks. The. bonds pur- chased by. banks would, naturally. enough, go to federal reserve, banks and an increased. flow, of bank notes would further inflate our currenc That in turn would make for cheaper money and erefore, it st won a suit ina New York| for $1,000.

They have heard about women slackers but they never intend to meet one. The head of the Red Cross, as leader, has de- clared a state of war on all women who play bridge, golf, indulge in other amusements during after-| noons which should be devoted to surgical dress- | ings, knitting, and war gardens. The cost of ig-} noring the will of the majority and clining to sel-} fish pleasure is to be social ostracism! Which, in| Oak Park is equivalent to disgraceful death and! secret burial! } | To check up on the loyal women workers the; Red Cross committee arranged a loyalty parade for which all village business was suspended. It was announced that “There will be but one ground for exemption from marching in the parade. All} pro-Germans may stay out.” | To women not already engaged in Red Cross | work, knitting, or signed up on the pledge for a} war garden the following statement is made: “The only legitimate excuse for not doing war work is employment during the day, sickness, or very small children. Just what are the sacrifices | our boys are making for you? They are sacrific- ing everything but their very souls and they are finding them. Those boys are teaching the world the real meaning of sacrifice, and there are none of us too good or too high even to shine their boots. “Yet you will not respond to the call sent out for workers. Do you think you are really worth fighting for? If you cannot give time to make hospital garments or surgical dressings you are too unpatriotic for Oak Park and the best thing to do is to get passports to the land of ‘kultur’ and live with your kind. We don’t want.you here!” Snobbishness is a stench in the nostrils: of democracy—but all honor to those war-snobs .of Oak Park! : Every German drive can be more than offset by an American drive for the Liberty Loan. Leaders of 19 sorts ‘of aliens have - pledged themselves to put a Liberty bond in each of the 65,000 homes of foreign-speaking families in Cleveland. That’s the stuff! Pass the dope-pan to that Berlin editor who announces that the Americans are building rail- road, telegraph and telephone lines in France with the view of doing a profitable business after the The Bolsheviki have decided to allow the ex- czar’s family 300 rubles (about $150) per month for food. mebody ought to send Nick one of! those American programs on living on 11 cents. per day, and doing your own washing.

BY ALL MEANS Representative James of Michigan, has intro- duced an amendment to existing statutes that is short and directly to the point... It is this: Any person, resident in the United States or any place subject to its jurisdiction, who acts as a spy for any government with which the United States is at war or an ally of any such govern- ment, and who seeks information with the inten- tion of communicating it to the enemy, shall, upon conviction, suffer death by hanging by the neck. vote. them. And there are lots of other persons who are not technically spies who ought to be hanged—not Hang such persons? By all. means hang fed upon the fat of the land, but hanged— h-a-n-g-e-d. . . They are the miserable creatures who, con- nected with the I..W. W. are committing all sorts of depredations in the far west, inciting strikes, destroying property, blocking the cutting of tim- ber for airplanes and committing other crimes against the government. This government of ours is altogether too leni- ent. No spy, no traitor, no treason-monger fears it in the least. And why should anyone fear it, since it has made an example of no one ax yet? For more than two years Germany Jaughed us to scorn. For more than three years spies and contempt for us.

There are no adults in evidence, and no need for grownups appa ../ Their numbers are new, bright and. attractive, and they are handled in a professional manner which cimply leaves one gasp- ing in wonder. : i The Winnipeg Kiddies after their} first performance will need no further advertising in Bismarck, Ten hundred ioving friends have been busy since the curtain fell last night singing the praises of these eremarkable little folk, and a packed house at the mati-| nee performance at 4 this afternoon and at the second evening’s program coulgnt will We among the results, There is! something mysterious, something occult, about the famous Winnipeg Kiddies, . There are few who have not heard of this wonderful troupe of youngsters and scores of prominent people who have seen their work, have expressed che view that they would be willing to pay five dollars to see them agai The last person to make this oft-re- peated remark was Principal Brown of the Valley City high school, who went especially to Fargo to see the children, In Fargo, incidentally, the kiddies broke all theatrical records at five performances on their return engagement. However, those who have not seen the children are generally puzzled to <now just what they do—the why, the who, and the how of it. So here goes-~ These Youngsters give a vaudeville show—spiced with pep from the first o the last, with many changes of cos- tures and some mighty pretty chorus work. “But,” you say, “there is surely nothing unusual about that?” ‘That's the queer part of it. These children, who banded together in 80° strange a manner, and who may later break up again in a puff of wind, are “different.” They are one of the phe: That amendment ought to pass by a unanimous IT HAPPENED IN BISMARCK And Is Happening to Bismarckk Peo- ple’ Every Week. The case told below is not an un- common thing. The same occurs fre- quently and will continue to: happen as long as folks have kidneys and over- tax the kidneys, Mrs, amJes Alsbury, 911 Sweet St., Bismarck, says: “My ‘back ‘bothered me for several years. At times I was so lame and sore I could..hardly bend and when I straightened, sharp pains darted through. my kidneys. I often cried out, ‘because of the pain., -At night my limbs ached. so severely, I couldn‘t sleep well and I was tired when I got up in the morning.

Yet, somehow or other, they’ manage to ‘“put over” their stuff in. such’ a way that people ‘gasp, express: aston- ishment, and then go to the box office and biy tickets for the next.perform., ance. , i i of ‘well-known people who have attend- el évery show given by~:the » young- sters.in the big-towns: Addison Leach| of Fargo is the last one’ heard of.

One of them, also, lost an eye in the cause of patriotism. But these incidents, also, are material for other stories, 3 ‘Today this wonderful troupe is stim- ulating recruiting for Uncle Sam— working under the auspices of the British-American Recruiting commis- sion—for there is no international | border to these kiddies. They are un- der the parole of (Major Yost of. the United ‘States army, to. whom each day their school teacher has to send n detailed report of their conduct and the progress of their lessons—for a school teacher ,as well as their moth- ers and a musical directress, travels with the show. In nearly évery place they perform, the schools are closed early to pet mit the school kids to attend the mat- inees. The children are booked for a week in St.’ Paul, a week in Minneapolis, and are heading for Milwaukee, Chi- cago, ‘New York, and other vig United States cities. Plans are on foot to have them entertain the troupes, on the western front in France.
