(Established 1878) MORE FROM BUGHOUSE The German newspapers are raising “quite a row” because certain of our storm troops. are equipped with that handy little American weapon, the sawed-off shotgun. In fact>the Cologne Gaz- ette warns the German army that our fellows are “dishonorable. warriors.” Uh-huh! And how about— | POISON GAS—invented by the Germans and first used by their soldiers. é LIQUID FIRE—first used by the German sol- diers. . BOMBING HOSPITALS—the killing of helpless men in their beds; invented and practiced exclu- sively by German soldiers. ‘ RAPE—a war practice of the Germans; theirs exclusively. . BABY KILLING — German warriors’ weapon. . And. many others, just as honorable, yet they gag at the sawed-off shotgun! But what’s the use; the more we hear from the think tanks of the Germans, the more convinced we are that Ger- many is one whopping:big crazy house. war The British. have honored ‘Pershing with the order of bath. Leave it to Pershing to bathe his boys and himself in glory! : POSSESSION ; It naturally follows that what actuates men actuates nations. ; i A business is the lengthened shadow of a man; a government reflects the general character of the governed. \ In Hunmany, power is usurped by a tyrannical few, but the methods of the imperial German gov- ernment are an accurate index to the ways of its subjects. “A German household is. in itself, a complete autocracy with a despot at its head. Its women drudge and trudge along through life, beaten and, browbeaten, mere breeding machines far beneath the level of the brutal, hestial devil who domin- ates: the hearth. : The objective of both the allied and Teuton fac- tions in this universal conflict is POSSESSION. The Hun proposes to possess world-power. His present portion has aroused a mad lust for more, like the all-consuming fierceness of the alcoholist’s thirst. He designs to colonize, kulturize, terrorize and Germanize the peoples of the earth. With the allies, POSSESSION involves neither power nor dominion. «In the words of Jefferson, to possess the right;to life, LIBERTY and the pur- war. | wid The Yank is acquitting himself valorously, and the Hun is convicting himself decisively in this trial of stamina and grit. an THE HUN IRON CROSS , “Get the man with the medals—he’s the mor- ale!’ That is the advice of military’experts, to be followed in charge or hand-to-hand ‘encounter. The chap with scrap in his heart. and his heart in the’ scrap is the one. : He wears the medals because he pedals toward, not’away from, the enemy. : He’s a -bracer, set-the-pacer for the rest.. He provides an example that’s ample to shame and. reclaim the grit of the craven who wallows: in fear and follows in trepidation. , His ‘courage keeps the others’ from creeping and seeping out through their heels. _, Commanders know it, which accounts for the plentitude of iron crosses. Medal awards for any- ‘ thing that can be construed as bravery are an in- expensive salve to content Fritz with his slavery in the uniform. No matter how half-baked or all-faked the deed of: valor that put that decoration. on the boche _breast, it influences. his fellows. ‘Though. the crown prince get his chunk of iron for suffering the privation‘of no bath in two days, while a beastly burgomaster in billet has a medal pinned on for taking one at-the risk of scrubbirig Joasé?his hide ith'a month’s:decumolated trench: It is well to single out the medal-wearer for shot suit of happiness. sums up the allied platform of or blow, to reach the vitals of the enemy morale. Hun courage will be exhausted before. dimin- ished mineral resources cause a ‘scarcity in iron for crosses. # WITH THE EDITORS — | MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S RETORT The god of brute force must this time for- —Premier’ Lloyd George. he Credit the British statesman with another ten- strike. He has a way of driving words and. ideas into the human mind so that they stick there. He has done so in this instance, couching one of the irreducible verities of the time in singularly apt terms. 4 The god of brute force is an idol. “It-ean be broken and destroyed; and when destroyed: so fittingly as in the ‘furnace it‘has set going to tor- ture the world?) Down: it:must go into the sub- cellar, borne with tongs and made away with for) all time. It is a revolting, hateful thing that can- not be tolerated a minute longer than is necessary. Mr. Lloyd George notifieg/the Prussian military masters on behalf of the alliedsnations that there can be no peace which does not deny to Germany: a single square yard of territory which she: did riot have in 1914. He serves notice on them, more- over, that there can be no “hugger-mugger” peace, which means that all the terms must be open, above. board, devoid of chicanery and plain to all men. as It is a timely, pertinent “come back” to Chan-} cellor von Hertling for his latest. utterances on war.and peace. The Potsdam’ emissary speaks | of the allies as if they were ‘properly. chastened children and as if Germany were the chastening master, rod still in hand. Lloyd George néatly sumes to be master shall come to the "peace. coun- cils, if at all, as a penitent sinner. © i “We are not waging war for the sake of killing|| or being killed,” he said, “but for the sake of estab-| | lishing a just and durable peace for. the world.” H That is the American purpose, the British pur-| | pose aid the purpose of all those powers who have challenged the god of brute force. Germany can; not be left free. to exploit Russia, the Polish prov:, inces and the other lands on: which she has ‘laid impudent, grasping hands. . She canhot hold Bel- gium in pawn and'trade her for-gains elsewhere— Belgium whom she-plundered.-as robber bandits plunder. She cannot .despoil Russia: simply ‘bey cause: Russia faltered’ and:-fell. before her brute force hordes. She cannot-emasculate France by |, draw. her lines well within her own bailiwick, and || ‘she will be exceeding lucky to hold all she, had |; when she set her baying dogs of war loose in | 1914.—Minneapolis Tribune. - x : GERMAN PAPERS GROWL Speech—Say He.Is.a‘New .. Englander: ; : “German papers,” said Bismayck in 1876, agd he had led enough of them :by,.the nose, .-“are bound to be amusing. reading, for they are meant to be glanced over while. drinking. a mug of beer, and to furnish’ topics of lively conversation, usual- ly about something which has taken place along way off in foreign parts.” The German papers, growling and cursing at the Fourth of July and Mr. Wilson’s: Mount Vernon speech, illustrate al- most perfectly Bismarck’s definition: Thus the Kolnische Zeitung imparts the origin- al information that Mr. Wilson “is a New Eng-) lander,” who, “like Cromwell, argues and excuses the bloodiest acts with Biblical quotations.” This is a serious charge, that of violation of the Ger- man imperial and royal copyright on sanguinary piety. Forward with Gott, the kaiser, Karl Ros- ney, and the film ‘in.the midst of the fighting!” ‘The Zeitung cries: most edifyingly: Hypocricy’and brutality, your name is Wil- son! Europe must continue to bathe in a sea of blood for the fortunes of the trust kings, for new milliards, and to satisfy the political > and economical lust. for. supremacy - of: the Yankees. hd This is a painting of Mr. Wilson and the Yan- kees. as good, genuine Germans. “Good old Washington” “turns in his-grave” twice in the course of these amene homilies.- The Lokal-Anzeiger leaps into the empyrean of humor by asseverating that Germany ‘is today fighting for the principles of the Declaration.” Anglo- Saxondom is smacked resoundingly. Its power “ig a menace to-all free ‘peoples.’ The German inind is more.elastic, than. cool (observers ‘used to believe. With what 9 wealth of bogies and hate- stimulators has-Hohst Michel been’ fed—the:Slav peril, Italian ‘treachery,. French’ aggression, the unparalleled universal -crime «of: England, and “Anglo-Saxondom.’”:: . As the diner-out in “Our Mutual Friend” was perpetually bothered: with doubt as to.who was the Veneerings’ oldest friend, so: Honest-Michel-must be perplexed to know who: is Germany’s most-to- be-punished enemy. Over his mug of beer, if he can get it, does he wonder how, if “Ahglo-Saxon- dom” is that arch-foe,-so much of the world, Latin, Ibero-American,.Slav, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, why so many countries and races are cooperating. with “Anglo-Saxondom” to destroy , themselves and Germany?

CHRISTY A BENEDICT... J. C. Christensen, “Christy” to the thousands of Slope fans who ‘have admirmed his work on the mound, re- turned to Bismarck last night to re- port to the local draft board for a Place with the select service men who now are en route to Camp Cus- ter. “Christy” found that the quota had been filled, and that bis turn would not come until next month. The interesting feature of the story is that “Christy”.is now a benedict, hav- !ing married“ Miss Elma E. Cady of Forman at Minneapolis a month ago. Mr. .Christensen’s parents live at Forman, and it was during visits home that this romance blossomed. Since leaving Bismarck, “where Christy starred on the famous semi-pro team of 1917, and where he was connected with the Carpenter Lumber Co.-until May 15, he has’ been employed with the Minneapolis General Blectric Co. and. has ‘been pitching on. the com- pany’s crack team. . Before joining the Bésmanck lineup last year, Christen- sen had pitched with Grand Forks, and Duluth in the Northern league. BUY W, S. 8. Would Puzzle Socrates.
