In that way France convinced the Huns that French prisoners must be treated as human be- ings. Then Germany agreed to exchange prison- ers with France. But Germany continues her horribly cruel treatment of British prisoners. Great Britain thus far has refused to put into execution the program of reprisal which would protect her men in German camps more surely than anything else.

(Established 1878) a peo Sa ee % {Let Germany Never Doubt That | the American People Are United | Nor That They Will Stand Together and Fight This War Till Victory Is Won | +. Already the German idea that Americans are not united is dying out. : The presence of more than ‘half a million American fighting men on European soil is already known to the German rulers. They cannot long keep it from the people. Whatever the Hohenzollerns and the Hinden-| * burgs may try to make the German people think, they know themselves that the Americans are unitedly in the fight to stay. « ' At home sentiment is united. ‘Here and‘ there partisan attacks on the ad- ministration: have been attempted’ by disgruntled ex-officeholders, only to . react . disastrously . on “those who made them. : ( ‘ “Practically the entire population is in.the|o, Red .Cross—do your "two bits” now—buy Thrift Stamps. : Be RE harness.

Neither is there any American who is not determined to go through it to the end. The effort of the German government to ter- rorize us by sending a U-boat to our coasts merely aroused the American spirit all the higher. The people of America of all races and creeds are united in this supreme effort to resist the ag- gression of the most brutal and cruel autocracy which ever fastened itself on humankind. .. This country has been their home, their sup- port. They believe in it and they believe in its principles. They are now fighting to make the whole world as safe for democracy as America\has al- ways been. : Millions of young men have gone to the bat- tle line or to the training camps. Other millions will follow when the need shall be. . , The whole country is thoroughly awake, thor- oughly aroused. \. The whole country is loyally supporting the administration in its great task, and will support it till 'a complete and decisive victory makes the peace of the world sure for all time to come.— Washington Times. elas a —_e—_—e__oo- REPRISALS Of the allied nations fighting against the forces of the Hun, only one thus far has given the bully of Europe the medicine which will stop his, torture’ of prisoners of war. That country, is France. There was a time when Germans ill-treated French captives. They starved them. They stole parcels French people sent into Germany for their captured soldiers. They beat them. They forced them to labor long hours in death-bringing con- ditions.,“ They murdered them. ; , And Germany laughed at French pleas to exchange prisoners, for Germany was grinding the blood and life out of prisoners: in her camps while Germans held‘in French prison camps were well fed. Germany did not want to send her cap- tives back until she had wrung the last ounce of toil out of them and made them unfit for further war duty. ‘ » Then it was that France began her program of reprisals. When the Germans served “soup like bill-stickers’ paste” to Frenchmen the French procured the recipe and supplied a similar fluid tothe Germans in their prisons. When the Ger- —with the barrels pointed't ducking stool. . © es case of “Daniels nisthe-LioweDenz’ But now— program of exact measure for measure “medicine” for German prisoners. Few American prisoners are in German camps. More will be there. There have been well authenticated charges of mistreatment of our boys.. These indicate that the Germans are abus- ing our boys more shamefully than the prisoners of any other country. We have the cure for that—reprisals. You can’t persuade a vicious brute by argument, kind treatment or nice words. You can kick him off his prey, and you can beat him into submission. He doesn’t understand any other treatment. Any- thing else he considers cowardice and is an en- couragement to greater cruelty. The American government may already have taken steps which will bring about a general ex- change of American and German prisoners. If it has not, an immediate effort should be made. In the meantime, and to bring Germany to an early compliance, a rigid plan of reprisals should be put into execution. We will feed our prisoners what the Huns feed American soldiers. We will work them as our boys are forced to toil. : Speaking of “trial” marriages, a Miss Sue has wedded a lawyer named Dodger! ” General von Mackintosh seems to have been left out in the rain on his first drive.

FARMS FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS—MINNE- SOTA’S DUTY A man of vision, Secretary Lane, foresees the soldiers coming home from the war. eager for out- door employment. The “era of transcontinental railway construction” is past—but not the era of reconstruction, which should be beginning. Home- stead act lands are almost exhausted. In that sit- uation the nation ‘should turn to intensive agri- culture and the:reclamation of swamp, cut-over and irrigable lands. It is a wise plan: it is not too soon to begin planning. True, all, eyes are on the. war. BUT THIS IS WAR WORK.—New York World. — = When America’s armies return from overseas, there will be the problem of finding work for| them to do. That problem must be solved before they return, unless we want to run the risk of seeing men who have fought for us peddling shoe- strings to,get a living. ; Thousands upon thousands of these men will have tried the outdoor life and learned to like it— learned not only to like it, but to prefer it above all other lives. What better billet for such a man than a farm of his own? + Where can he find such an opportunity? In Minnesota, if Minnesota does its duty, farms ‘can be found for many thousands: The state owns millions of acres, now idle, stump- covered, dormant, but with soil as fertile as any outdoors. Most of these lands are:now beyond the reach of the humble homeseeker unless he has help to clear them and roads to reach them. Suppose the state of Minnesota created a state department of public domain, and made pro- vision for clearing a small part of each tract be- fore offering it to the homeseeker on easy. terms to include the cost of reclamation. A beginning has been made already by a small appropriation for this work, but it is only a beginning; and be- sides it lacks the support and foundation of a comprehensive department to control the public domain and to supervise the work of state devel- opment in all its branches. If the Minnesota legislature at its session next January devoted itself EXCLUSIVELY to this problem, it would be doing a great work for Minnesota and the nation—and it would be most useful war work.—Duluth.
