(Established 1873) WHY LET THE GERMAN CRIMINALS ESCAPE? Why are thesé German supercriminals being permitted to escape from Germany and the Ger- man navy and armies to places of refuge in Hol- land, Switzerland and neutral countries ? Von Tirpitz, infamous father of unrestricted submarine piracy, by whose order the Lusitania was sent shattered to the bottom of the sea, 18 the latest of the fugitives. With co-conspirators; he has fled to Switzerland. a Shorn of: his silvery dundrearys, his pockets bulging with embezzeled millions of money in- trusted to him by the fallen autocracy from the | billions it wrung from the nation it betrayed, Von| Tirpitz has followed the example of William ell Diable and sought safety for his pelt on neutral soil. Avy Editor permitted to escape? on every lip. Let’s have it! WITH THE EDITORS NO REPENTANCE THERE Search as we may the news coming out of Ger- many and after scrutinizing closely the addresses made by the present leaders of thought and gov- ernment in that distracted land, none can find one word that would show regret for the war as it bears upon the sorrows and calamities it has \brought upon the world. No word has been said ;that could be interpreted as penitential, not the slightest sign has been made of a national change of heart from the barbaric ideals that prompted the onslaught upon civilization. Such messages as have come from the profess- edly reform government of Germany have been pleas for leniency and mercy in behalf of a people who long ago eliminated all such qualities from their mentality as appendages only of the weak and foolish. Each appeal is steeped in selfishness and in none of them is heard a Syllable in behalf of the countries and people they ravished, and mani- festly these are never given a thought. And the world has not witnessed another instance of the impudence shown by Germany in appealing for aid to a nation that she has insulted and bullied in the pride of her supposed omnipotence. It will be a terrible mistake for the American people to be deceived at this time by the hypoc- risy of Germany. She may change her form of government, but until she has experienced a change of heart she will be a menace to the world, Why are these German supercriminals being It is time the world had a reply to the question \ BONE ‘DRY, Other German criminals are following suit as and, while the American delegates to the peace IM. CAPPER, IN“Y” WORK IN fast as they can bag their ill-gotten gains. Hol- land is filling with these masters in the business of crime. Switzerland is being overrun with them. They are dodging into Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Spain. Why are these men running away from Germa- ny? ae are visible at this hour just two plausible , ,explanations: as i The situation in Germany and Austria is ourly becoming more and' more dangerous for these men as disbanded, leaderless: soldiers return. Some of these soldiers, reports from Austria say, are forming bandit gangs and taking to the for- ests and the broken country. They are reverting to savagery. The supercriminals like William le Diable, Tir- pitz, Hintze, Capelle and their peers in villany, see the rising peril of a possible Reign of Terror inj} the Fatherland. 2. They see, too, the apparently supine indif- ference with which the authorities of the entente allies and the United States view the exodus from Germany to neutral lands and tke seemingly smug satisfaction of the authorities*ofthe countries whose soil their footsteps pollute. They think themselves safe. While in entente ally countries and the United | States academic discussions go on to suffocation | and endlessness about what ought to be done to William the Devil, Tirpitz and the rest of the] Potsdam gang, while orators bring round after round of applause as they more or less eloquently | demand at speech-fests “the condign punishment of the Hohenzollern gang,” while lawyers poke around in the legal dust of bygone ages for pr dents for punishing an ex-emperor for arson, mur- der, piracy, rape and robbery, knowing perfectly well that they won’t find any such thing in all the dust heaps of Time, while all these things go use- Jessly on and on, time is flying, the Supercriminals are grinning, Jeering at a wounded, outraged world as much as to say: “You can’t catch us! We’re above law! We're sacred personages who have} sought refuge in neutral (spugtries ! Syst us. if you dare! And the blood spilled “on Flanders’ fields” —was it shed that such as (William the Devil, Tirpitz and their comrades in infamy might go free and un- harmed or find refuge on earth? Precedent? Is there need of a precedent? Can’t things be done without a precedent? Aren’t these men guilty as accessories before the fact of prac- tically every known crime? How are precedents made, anyway, except by dealing with unprece- dented situations? These questions answer them- selves. International law? Have not these men out- raged it? Is it not now to be vindicated? Is there no man, no leader in all the lands and camps of the victors big enough, strong and daring enough to go ahead and make a Precedent with a rope about its neck. Or are we to leave these Thugs to the supposed powers of punishment of their own consciences? Do we know that there are “consciences seared as with a hot iron? Are these supercriminals to be permitted to escape the vengeance of their dupes at home, the justice of their victims everywhere abroad, to become a plotting, gangrenous sore on the face of the world, a mockery of all law and the pattern saints (save the mark) of every criminal and crim- inal class in the world? - One international hanging bee with German supercriminals as the decorative features of the gallows would do more in an hour to stem Bol- a je, speeches and fine words of thangll in theworld, President_Woodrow conference may be moved, through the escape of this country from the ravages suffered by France, Belgium and other countries devastated by this unrepentant nation, we feel confident the allies will view justice from a different angle, and refuse to be swayed from the bitter realization of ex- perience by theoretical moonbeams of idealists and dreamers.—Fargo Forum. £ tare THE WEST RE-WON ie The reactiph’ of the Middle West which rallied to the support of the:president in 1916 because he had then “kept us out of war,” is a feature of the election returns which merits careful study, not merely in idle curiosity or hardly more pur- poseful interest, but with the definite desire to in- terpret its message. That part of the nation was slow to. war, but from the time the call td arms was sounded ‘it has shown no hesitation in the recruiting of its men, in the subscription of Liberty Loans and in the hearty support of jevery war measure. The line of connection is* more apt to’be found in matters of dgMestic policy, which hate to.do with the future as well as with the past, and are, there- fore, of more vital consequence than the attitude of the section concerning the conduct of the war. The Middle West is progressive; it has been ac- jcused of being Socialistic. But it has had a taste of governmental regulation and has heard the promise of more, and it would be worth while to consider to what extent the return to Republican lines on Tuesday is the verdict of its experience.— Philadelphia Bulletin.

Be careful! Don’t waste a crum! That’s old- fashioned white bread, you know. What the world wants is a lunatic-proof peace. Why not an armistice with old Gen. High Cost O’-Living? Wife desertion is William Hohenzollern’s latest crime. Isn’t there some way to check his career? Attention of human societies is called to that dog in William Hohenzollern’s cruel clutches. s a Remarkable! No enterprising publisher has yet sprung a “Complete History of the Great War” in seven volumes. Perhaps Bill Hohenzollern went to Holland to escape “standing any nonsense from the United States after the war.” Senato_rLodge says:..“These-are true facts.”|' What’s a false fact? ‘thete Activities in Wes I.

Dear ‘Friends: For some time past I have been: hoping I would soon have time to write individual letters to many of! my friends ‘but too much work and too little time has kept me from it. I have figured the next best«thing to do is to write’a letter for all to read and! trust The Tribune-will find space to, publish it. As most of you, know T am. here in France working with the ¥. M. in a most wonderful work. At present we are located in the conmvbat area but a few miles from the front line: { occupied entirely}-on this sector ‘by the American troops. We have z large supply base here from which we supply the boys at the front with thebr extras, cigars, cigarett cookiés, chocolate, chewing todacco, chewing gum candies shaving outfits tooth paste and brushes, handkerchiefs, towels, soap, writing material, athletic goods and many ‘other alt: s. You may get some idea of the job we are; putting over when I tell you we are handling about one hundred tons of supplies a day. \ My particular assignment here is to receive all the cash from the many di-} visions in this sector and since the} fifth of October I have handled more than 10,000,000 francs or approximate- ly $2,500,009.00 and same is increas-| ing rapidly each day. The “Y” ing a great work and any criticism that may be made is due to two facts —lack of transportation and lack of men to do the work.

Those ot. you,at home cannot conceive of a We try them that tires us ‘but the things We, {see we cannot do for them.:'Folks at home, my hat is off to the! American soldier and when they return home make them feel the welcome. you can give them. They have rendered won- derful service and it will be up to you to: show your appreciation in ev- ery possible way. I know of some of the things they have been up_against, I have been under shell fire and know wnat it means. I will not take time to relate the experience but will pass .|0n to something more interesting to Bismarck people, The particular work assigned me would require but little time each jay so I have taken upon. myself ‘the job of handling the mail forthe “Y’" mboys in camp here and algo’ the dis: iintion of 50,000 daily ‘papers each, day! to the, diffefént divisions and detached units. A few evenings ago I ‘was called from the office tent to Go over to the paper tent. Was told there was a Red Cross man who want- ed some papers. Went over and in my hurry paid but little attention to the man making the reques‘. He ask- ed me for papers for his hospital and as he talked on I was convinced I had heard the voice before. Imagine my surprise to find it was Gov. Hanna Rnd that he was located but a short distance from our camp. We had but a few minutes to talk but during that time I asked him as a favor to locate -| if possible, some of my friends with ‘the Red. Crass among them Dr. Quain. Last Sunday: morning Gov.

He said Dr. Quain was very bury but asked mbe to go over to the hospital to see him and the great work he was doing. Gov. Hanna is a very busy man and I certainly appre- over and give me the desired inform- ation. He expects to go ‘back to the states in a few days and from him you will be able to learn where “some- where in France” is so far as I am concerned, Yesterday I took the time to go over to the hospital and took lunch with Dr. Quain. He is looking fine and says he is enjoying his work. The day before he and his assistant, dis- posed of fifty-five cases. Az the sanit? {time I met two of the Bismarck nist jes, Miss Foss and Miss Geodman. We certainly had a great talk-fest for a few minutes and the girls seemed particularly pleased to meet some one from Bismarck. They wished to be remembered to their many friends at home.

Other women offica s ers are eX- pected to make their wauts known ‘be- fore the session opens. Candidates for places other than speaker include B. L. Opsal of Wil- | mot, for secretary of the senate, Op- sal is the man who lost an eye by be- ing struck by a missle thrown in the “scrimmage” at the last night of the session two years ago. He was one of the assistants at the desk of the senate, al Joseph Flaa, one of the assistants at the house desk two years ago, de- sires the position o chiet clerk of the house which has, be&n for many years filled by C.
