GERMANY. CANNOT BE RIGHT AND THE REMAINDER OF WHOLE WORLD WRONG, St. Mary’s Abbey, Richardton, N. D., Aug. 5, 1918.— Dear Sir: sonal ‘acquaintance, I take the li which, perhaps, you will be so with my signature. Although I don’t enjoy the privilege of your per- liberty to pen you a few lines, kind to print in your journal HISTORY OLD AND NEW I am reading your paper every day and heartily approve of your pointed editorials and of the spirit of democracy permeating your writings. I was born in Germany and studied at the University of Bonn-on-the-Rhine, the same institute which was frequented by Emperor William II, and later on by his brutally stupid or stupidly brutal son, the present crown’ prince, who ought to apologize for his very existence. But I soon became ways and manners that were ‘disgusted with the military holding sway even in non- military branches of the administration and public life in the fatherland, and sirice I am here in America I realized how far Germany, with all her boasted culture, science and education is behind England or France or America. glad that, with the generous Iam help of Uncle Sam, the old German democrats of 1848 are now coming into their own, and that in all probability, the old democratic colors of Ger- many, black, red and gold, will supplant the Prussian tri- colors, black white and red, which that brutal Bismarck, not so very. far-sighted after all, has forced on southern Germany. By the, way, can you not change the name of your town, Bismarck, into Baker, the well-deserving secre- tary of war, or into Wilson? Germany cannot be right ; if she were right, why are all nations of the world united in league against her? It might be possible that France be blinded by lust of revenge, or that England be moved by the spirit of commercial jeal- - ousy; but it is simply unthinkable that ALL nations of the world cannot discern right an Furthermore, Germany is displeases not only men, but d wrong. fighting for an ideal which GOD Himself. The nation selected by Him, the Hebrews, were originally a republic, ° or strictly speaking, a theocracy, and since centuries of modern history, the Jews were and freedom. staunch defenders of liberty But at the time of Samuel, as every Bible student knows, the Jewish people, in a fit of fooljshness, demanded to be ruled over by a king after the manner of the heathen. Holy Writ states that Samuel was displeased with that idea and that JEHOVAH Himself disapproved of it; but, as He leaves every indi ividual or nation its personal liberty and moral responsibility, the Jews were, like other people, allowed to have their own sweet will. The Jews elected aking. Saul, that first-chosen, proved to be a failure. David did fairly well. sagacity, by the excessive an Solomon, with all his wisdom and id needless taxation imposed on his people, brought about that split which, in 975 B. C., under-his addle-brained successor, divided the nation and weakened it beyond all ‘hope of repair. Rome was really great as long as she was a republic, and the empire of Caesars, like-Caligula, or Nero, would have been impossible if the nation had not fallen away from its time honored ideals. Switzerland owes her enviably sound and good conditions to her being a republic and that since 1308. Emperor Augustus was praised for ushering in a new era, but President Wilson will, make that imperial splendor look insignificant. in the eyes of thinking men, of Julius Caesar’s successor KARL UEBELHOER, Richardton, N.

He also spoke of the coming Liberty loan drive ,urging all to ‘save and buy bonds. During his remarks Secretary Mc- Adoo urged farmers to produce to their utmost to help support men sent to France. “If we send five million men to France they are not worth anything unless we support them,’ he said. “That, my friends. is the supreme duty of the hour, and we can do great things. We must all do.our share, no matter how humble it may be. “Phe farmers must produce, the me- chanic must turn owt the best work possible, locomotives must be repaired and turned out of the shops as quickly as possible, and we all must econom- ize to meet the demands of ‘this war.” HUNS LOSE 4,102 PLANES IN YEAR { British Losses in Same, Pe iod Is Only 1,12t pear ee 2a he (By Newspaper Enterprise Ass'r) London, August ‘6—During the year ending June 30,1918, 2,150 enemy air craft were destroyed. by. the.

WUY W. 8.8 FRENCH STOP HIGH PRICES YANKEES hind Minister of Supplies Condemns ‘Acts of Merchants— Warns Profiteers (By Newspaper Enterprise Ass'n) Paris Aug 6—The French minister of agriculture and supplies, has acted to stop profiteering against American soldiers. Store keepers have been selling American and British troops their goods at prices higher than those charged to French civilians, and in an order issued to all the prefects of France, the minister of agricult- ure has condemned this practice sd ordered that it be stopped. “IT cannot condemn too greatly such a proceedure.” he says “as it is in complete opposition to the spirit which should, exist between allies. “Let us not forget that for the same ideal and with the same effort the armies of our allies of Europe and America are marching with ourst| to dispute foot by, foot the aggres- sions of the enemy on the soil of our invaded regions. “Undoubtedly I realize that of the increases in prices may be explained at least in part by the dif- ficulties of our’ retailers in getting producers. But these reasons cannoty justify the asking of higher prices of /|men who are united to us by the fra- ‘| ternity of.arms on the battlefieids of France. “The government is therefore re- solved to put a stop to these regret- table practices. such acts are to be delivered to justice to be tried by the application of the law of April 20, 1916, on illegal increasing of profits.” To assist in checking (profiteering General Pershing ‘has ‘ordered that the American soldiers report all cases of excess prices charged them. ——nuy w. 8.
