A greater glory now comes to the Minneapolis district. It stands at the top an, easy, winner in percentage of oversubscription, the margin being 72 per cent, compared with 56 per cent for Kansas City, second, and 53 per cent for St. Louis, third, in the running. The Minne- apolis district was asked a minimum of $105,- 000,000. It produced a total of $180,826,350. Organization, team work, a remarkably thor- ough canvass and the fine response of all classes to appeals made to them entered into the com- bination which produced for this district such flat- tering results. While Secretary McAdoo makes no distinctions of districts in pronouncing the campaign an unprecedented success in both the total‘number of subscribers and total amount un- dérwritten in the country, we may be assured that in the forefront of his mind was a prideful thought of what was done in the Ninth and of}, how it was done. , ; \ The grand total of subscriptions is: $4,170,- 019,650. The.oversubscription percentage, based on $3,000,000,000, is.39, and the. number of sib- seribers. in: rourid numbers: is’ 17,000,000. These figures stand: for a wonderful proprietorship of the people in the nation’s war business and for a loyalty that should make Germany take serious « notice, 3 (ic... ania ‘= This loan isthe more noteworthy because by Jyné 15 there will have been collected since the heond Liberty: loan, some $3,000,000,000 addi- tional in income and excess profits taxes. Unlike the loan, this huge sum, much of which is yet to‘be paid before the middle of June, goes out- right to Uncle Sam, never to return, capital or interest, to those who pay it. Taxation is doing a big bit in meeting the war bill, the yawpers about “disloyal profiteers” to the contrary not- withstanding. It will continué doing a big bit for years after the war is over.—Minneapolis Trib- une, The Huns are now claiming Napoleon was a German. Well—if he was he was so ashamed of it he kept it a secret. TO AID RUSSIA? “We are anxious to ‘do all in our power to assist Russia,” says Lord Cecil. “It is our policy to preserve Russia as an allied country and, if that is impossible, as a non-German.” America has the same desire. Russia must finally get more of democracy, or our mission in this war ,will not be a complete success. But, the trouble is that it is not at all certain what Russia is or what is Russia. We invested perhaps $300,000,000 in the czar, without security other than his government’s I. O..U.’ and it is questionable whether, when Rus- sia, gets a stable government, that government will pay the czar’s I. O. U.’s.. Meanwhile, our hun- dreds of millions are carried in the profit and loss statement, and we are justified in demanding a clear, full view of the possibilities before doing any further gambling on Russia. . At present, we see Finland, Esthonia, Livonia, Courland, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine under German domination, to all practical purposes cut off;from Russia, with such de facto government as Russia has powerless to rectify the condition, even if willing. These territories named are the best part of Russia, but to aid them would be aiding Germany. -As to the de facto, or Bolsheviki, government of what’s left of Russia we are justly entitled to suspicions. Even if our suspicions that Trotzky and Lenine have been playing into the kaiser’s hands right along have no basis in the facts, this de facto government isn’t sure of its own exist- ence from day to day and it has demonstrated its inability to stop the Germans from taking any- thing they please. We are not even certain that the’ silent, unheard-from, millions of Russia will not finally be satisfied with monarchy, as the leaser of evils. ; ; Russia. may need aid and ask it. Our diffi- &-____ | burning, and against us, at that? ‘00 | is earning the money: BISMARCK DAILY "TRIBUNE the millions worth of our supplies piled up at Vladivostok and even this has enraged Russia’s de facto government. We may be out a lot of money in our humane helping of others in this world crisis, but have we any money to burn with the Germans doing the George Creel has apologized to Congress. We're sorry. But the best of ’em weaken now and then. General Maurice is drawing half pay, now that | hevis retired. If he’s doing nothing, perhays he Uncle Sam may close all saloons within half a mile of the Brooklyn navy yard. The navy al- ways does its best work on water. . Suspecting that he had another housekeeper, the housekeeper of a Detroit real estate agent shot him seven times, Monday last. It is a terrible warning to real estate agents. After all, nobody has ever answered “Rolling Mill” Kelley’s question: ‘Why is it that the only song ever written about father begins, ‘Father, dear father, come home with me now’?” There was a: man in-our town And he was wondrous wise ; | He never left a bit of dirt To raise a crop of flies.

He doesn’t mean flexible, does he?.)/He'must ean loose. We forget whether or not we have a Fathers’, day in this country. If such a day was celebrated "last year it was all done so quietly that it made no impression on us. But why not have a Fath- ers’ day, with a big rally in the parks? Prizes could be given in contests, such as: Endurance contest in holding the baby.. Speed contest in transferring money from pay envelope to wife. Dish washing contest. Speed contest in putting up screen doors.

That]: is current .German: propaganda. ; } When you hear that one rifle in every three supplied to the ‘army is defective put’ that’ tale in the pigeon. hole: to which, it -belongs, the same being labeled “German Lies.” i When you run’ into a buzz of’ conversation about the Germanizing of the country for the purpose of creating a capitalistic grip on the peo- ple and with the intention of destroying the labor organizations, hunt for the Prussian in the crowd. |: He doesn’t care a whoop about the Germanizing of America by anyone in America, but he yearns for the Germanizing of America by Germany. When you are advised to sell Liberty bonds at ‘a discount, keep in mind that. that is one of the tricks of German propaganda. By discredit- ing the enemy’s financial integrity, the Prussian seeks to put difficultiés into the enemy’s war- making. ' The Liberty bohds ure worth every. cent put into them, plus interest. Don’t sell:and don’t believe German yarning. 4 When you catch some loose-chinned person charging that Wilson is in “cahoots” with the munitions makers and pushing the war for their profit, get the fellow’s name .and report. him to the secret’.service officers.. You'll find you have caught either an enemy alien or some one with the kaiser’s money tinkling in his pockets. Since the beginning of the great struggle near-| ly four years ago, Germany has not-put forth so much propaganda as she is doing now. She has never before gambled so much on deception and treachery, bought up so many weaklings, bribed so many traitors, held out so much temptation to the politically ambitious and unscrupulous. Today, she drops French newspapers printed in Germany behind the French lines. She finances a division among the two races of Belgium. She is trying to create a condition with: propaganda’ to bring Spain into the. war on the German side. The other day, she succeeded in promoting a'revo- lution in a Central American republic for the sole purpose of disturbing the attention of Washing- ton from the business of fighting Germany, It is easier to see this«propaganda working a long distance away than to see it and under- stand it and be undeceived by it when it-is right at hand. That is why many Americans are be- wildered and some aid in the circulation with no evil intention. But we must learn to discern the propaganda and to stamp it “made in Germany” the minute it comes from the presses or. comes floating along on the stream of rumor. For vital things depend upon our discernmnet, our capacity to judge rightly, our gift at nailing a lie when we see it. Germany is not given to wasting. am- munition. She has learned from the devil that a lie is sometimes mighty and not infrequently pre-| vails. Let us learri the ways of the devil’s breth- culty is to decide whom to aid,und, where...

From. week to week, from year to year, there have been appearing in these ‘columns’ statements made by neighbors, which we have all. read with great interest, and many. of us with great profit. .But what we want to know is, do they stand the greatest test of all—the test of time? - Here is conclusive’ evidencé on this point from a Bismarck man: J. R. Williams, °212 8. Sixth ‘st. says: “I was mothered for six weeks or ‘more with a constant, dull, throb- bing ache in the small of my back. If I: over-exerted, sharp twinges ‘caught me and I could hardly move: Iwas tired and longuid and too frequent passages of the kidney secretions caused) much annoyance.

May /23.—A mysterious airplane.coming from a base unknown has been’ flying: over Camp Lewis, it became known today. The strange machine was sighted on three different occasions, late in the afternoon ‘by officers and men, the last time on Monday. The aviatof each time: was seen hovering ovei camp at an estimated height of 2.000 feet and officers with the aid of fiel glasses have definitely ascertained’ that it, was not the privately owned machine stationed a few miles from camp. There is no other airplanes within flying distance of Camp Lewis, so far as can ‘be learned and the fact that flying over gn army cantonment is a flagrant violation of the. federal law has led to- considerable’ specuia- tion. i PRODUCE MARKET. ‘Minneapolis, Minn., May’ 23.—Mar. ket firm on eggs, ‘but values are un- changed.

A survey today of available men for these positions indicated that many presidents would be Chosen for the new positions, and consequently their companies would have to elect new presidents, ‘ General dismay among railroad of- ficers over Director General McAdoo’s newly announced’ policy was apparent in. inquiries ‘reaching railroad” admin- istration headquarters concerning the intent of the order. Al. inqufrers were told the director ~eneral is an- xious not ‘to disorganize ‘the existing railway. managements any more than necessary to insure a higher degree of cooperation between the govern- ment management and the individual roads. s , Practically no. officers, executives or employes who contribute to the actual physical operating of the roads will lose their places.
