Other states are plan- ning some monument to their bravery; a testimo- nial to those who gave the last full measure of | devotion. Doubtless a plan will be advanced by which this state can erect some visible token ex- pressive of the honor and esteem in which these heroes are held. =— Let’s make this Christmas a Red Cross Christ- mas. Join now. CONGRESS MUST ACT Congressman Young issues a timely warning in regard to the price of the 1919 wheat crop which has been fixed at $2.26 a bushel by executive or- der. In making public a telegram from F. G. Crowell, vice president of the food administration, Congressman Young points out that some agency to carry the price into effect must be provided. The farmers of the state will do well to bring this fact to the attention of the Dakota delegation in Congress. The Russian puzzle is lucid compared to the British election. MR. HUGHES’ ANALYSIS Former Chiet Justice Hughes’ address at Co- lumbia recently deals dispassionately with the economic issues that confront the nations. There was neither malice nor political clap trap. He thoroughly disposes of the “superstition” that government operation of the railroads or other utilities is efficient. Admitted that. such control was necessary as a war expedient, Mr. Hughes properly urges that the United States go to a peace basis as quickly as possible. Everyone. knows that under our political system government:..operation reveals everywhere its blight of inefficiency. It won't escape the paragraphers that the real peace ship left juat three years after Ford’s unique pilgrimage. y f — f). GERMANY’S WAR DENT Dead, 2,000,000; wounded, 4,700j000; perma- nently disabled and a charge upon the state, 2,- 000,000. Interest bearing war debt, nearly $40,000,000,- 000. Commerce absolutely destroyed, and 67 per cent of her tonnage captured or interned. A permanent annual bond interest payment of $2,000,000,000; pension roll, three-quarters of a billion annually vil administration, a billion and a quarter annually; total, $4,000,000,000 a year. Total income of German people before the war, $11,000,000,000 annually. Cost of after consequences of the war to the German peopl, nearly 40 per cent of their annual prewar income.—Financial World. Townley’s election is to be endorsed by the league members through a referendum. Is there to be a second choice? BEATEN BUT NOT REPENTANT The New York Evening Post has a splendid re- view of Dr. Arthur Shadwell’s article in the Nine- teenth Century, in which he discusses the various aspects of the German debacle. Mr. Shadwell knows Germany intimately from long residence and close study of the Hun mind and philosophy. It is a significant fact that not one note of re- pentance has come from Germany. There is no admission that the damnable doctrines preached; by Germ gi scholars were false. Ar Mr. Shadwell pertinently remarks, the chief task that confronts the world is to punish Germany for her own good. The argument of this student is briefed in the following manner by the New York Post: “Germany is defeated, but not repentant. Her armies have been beaten, but her spirit has not changed. The insane pride, the mad delusions of the German people remain. Not yet has the poi- son, introduced into the blood by the teaching and} the incitements of forty years, been expelled. And the only way to do it is by laying a heavy burden upon them which they will continuingly feel as a hard schoolmaster to teach them a view of the world and of German destiny wholly different from the one that has been drilled into'them. Hav- ing been educated to satisfy greed by force and lawlessness, the thing to do now is to beat it into their heads, by privation and'suffering, that the whole German theory was wrong; that so far from ‘the coast clear through to a line drawn north and .ests, but in the common cause. years that they are working and. saving to make good the damage they have wrought. Let the ironworker say to himself: ‘today I must pay my wages to Belgium’. Let the shipbuilder and the exporter be reminded steadily that their profits by such severe discipline in the hard school of ex- perience can the next generation of Germans be led to abandon the noxious doctrines which have made them a threat to the peace of the world.” Such treatment would add repentance to defeat. Congress probably wonders whether the infor- mation President Wilson is to give them of the peace conference will go forward in the best Creelesque style. “MIRACLE WHEAT” IN AUSTRALIA Luther Burbank is now said to have his miracle wheat under demonstration. It is promised to be a much larger, firmer and better wheat than the grain the Americans are accustomed to, and with careful attention to seeding, the normal yield per acre can be more than doubled. For some time Burbank has been showing that the wheat raised in Australia, Italy and Canada is bigger and better than our own and a good deal of this was because the American farmer gave no attention at all. to the quality of his seed. All wheat looked alike to him. By experiments in selection—by “breeding” —the grain and its yield were susceptible to mark- ed improvement. There is no reason in the world why a farmer should be satisfied with an average national yield of less than 20 bushels to the acre when the possibility of 60 bushels can be shown. The splendid quality and great productiveness of the wheat of Australia are largely due to the sci- entific experimentation and tireless activities of Sir William Farrar, the Burbank of New South Wales. Now that he is dead his work is being still more appreciated and Australia is spending a half million for a memorial. If the magnificent wheat acreage of America could be persuaded to double its yield a lot of the responsibility of this country in the matter of feeding the world would be taken care of.—Los Angeles Times. WITH THE EDITORS | THE WORLD'S DEBT TO ENGLAND F. D. L. Smith, editor of the Toronto Daily News, recently back from the war zone, maintains that England has and is still bearing the biggest part of the war burden. “after four years of a continuous,’ exhausting war,” he says, “Great Britain maintains in the field a larger army than that furnished by any of her ‘allies. : Northwestern France has become a British country. English sentries mount guard in the towns of Calais and Boulogne and along the coun- try roads far to:the south and east. British troops are everywhere. British airplanes, British ammu- nition dumps, British transports, British hospitals line the roads and occupy the fields of France from south through Paris. “Not only this. British armies also uphold the ‘allied cause in half a score other vital theatres of ‘war in Siberia, in Mesopotamia, at Baku, on the Murman coast, on the Dvina river, in German East Africa, Albania, Palestine, Italy and Saloniki. “The British people have borne patiently, with unequaled determination, the burden of two vast wars, the one at sea and the other in many widely separated theatres on land. Since the beginning of the war 160 enemy submarines have been sunk, most of them by the British. One and a half mil- lion men are ocdupied today in manning and main- taining the British navy and merchant marine. Britain has lost 3,817,000 tons of her precious shipping. The other allies and neutraly have gained 1,208,000 tons. She cannot replace her tonnage sunk for two reasons—she is using her manpower to the utmost, not for her own inter- In her shipbuild- ing yards two-fifths of the labor and machinery are required for repair work done as much for her allies as for herself. Yet in four years by an al- that in spite of all other calls she has, during four years of war strain, constructed the second largest navy in the world—that is a new navy larger than any other save her original fleet. “Britain financed all her allies until the United States came into the war. She has supplied Italy, France, and the United States, to say nothing of Russian prior to the revolution, with a great pro- portion of their guns, munitions, rifles, uniforms and airplanes. Besides supplying coal for her own navy, merchant marine and industries, she has furnished France and Italy with much coal and great quantities of foodstuffs from overseas. The motherland has assumed an immense war debt, but it is in her expenditures of lives that she has subjected herself to the most grevious losses, Up- ward of 1,000,000 British soldiers have given their lives in the last four years. Last year alone her list of casualties—dead, wounded and missing— aggregated 880,000. Her donation of men to the allies cagse exceeds 8,000,000. In proportion to her population she has given nearly three times as many men as Canada. If Canada had done as much it would have 120,000 dead. Even as it is, will for a long time go to Serbia and France. Only} Now WAIT A MINUTE, JUST warr A minure !
