Logan Payne } eIcaco NEW YORK BOSTON War Corroborates Book of 1909 After 21 years and a titanic war in between to illus- trate and prove the point, statesmen who had to do with the recent world conflict and the after effects have come into agreement with Norman Angell, who wrote a book in 1909 to warn the nations that no longer was it possi- ble to derive profit from modern war. His book, “The Great Illusion,” was inspired by the truculent atmosphere of Europe in those days of mili- tarism which led up to the grapple of the Central pow- ers and the Allies. It was the period of the seizure of Novi-Bazar, the Algeciras episode, the feverish race be- tween England and Germany for naval supremacy and etween France and Germany for the possession of the greater army, of diplomatic intrigues, easy insult, en- circling alliances of rival interests in Algeria, Tunis and Morocco and of hysteric nationalism working itself up to the proper pitch for the coming clash. Angell foresaw this. Statesmen knew it. With the opening of the secret archives after Russia broke down in the fighting, these statesmen were revealed as plotting for it, even welcoming it, at this time. Angell, sizing up the situation, declared bluntly that they were all wasting their efforts. Never again, he asserted, would it be possible for a victory in war to bring prosperity -or security to the nation that won it. ‘This, then, was his “great illusion”—the theory that ‘any nation stood to gain anything of lasting value by going to war. Angell was bitterly criticized, branded an impractical pacifist and an idealist. A few years later the war that he foresaw came, and all the world took a hand. ‘The other day he celebrated the twenty-first anniver- sary of his book—and found high British government cfficials ready to congratulate him and tell him that he had been right all along.. The country that had con- demned him two decades ago was ready to admit that there might be something to his argument. For the World war, after all, did teach us something.. It compelled us to learn that modern war is a profitless business all around. Germany, beaten in the war, has gone through an un- comfortable ten years, It has experienced nearly every form of hardship that can come to a nation and is left with a gigantic reparations burden for. the future. The But the conquered always fare poorly. How about the victors? There is England; England, which has had a colossal unemployment problem ever since the armiStice, which financial supremacy more violently shaken since 1918 than ever before, which has had to grant another nation Joint rulership of the seas, which skated closer to a revolution, in the 1926 general strike, than any English- man likes to think, and which has a Socialist prime min- ister, ‘That is what England got out of the war. ‘You could go down the line with the contesting na- tions and get a similar result in nearly every case. An- gell’s- thesis has come close to being proven. If the World war “paid” anyone it is hard to figure out just how. A War-Weary World " ‘The sales rolled up by the German novel, “All Quiet on the Westerm Front,” are still going up—in America tnd everywhere else in the world. Figures just released by Little, Brown & Co., American publishers of the great novel, show that 2,515,000 copies have been sold throughout the world. Germany heads the lst with 999,000. France is in second place, having ‘bought 440,000 copies, and the United States comes third ‘with 335,000 copies. In all, sales in 12 nations are re- be expected to sell well—have bought liberally. All of this is a tribute to the book, of course. But even more than that, it is an eloquent sign of the world's ‘Which is a very hopeful sign for the peace of the world. dl Why Limitation Is Popular Quite aside from any question of world peace, there are ‘eminently sound reasons of finance for an end of com- petitive navy building, The London treaty, if ratified, will relieve all hands of the necessity of building any more battleships; and ‘when you stop to think that a modern battleship costs around $40,000,000, you can see that this is going to take To put it bluntly, navies are getting to be too all-fired ‘expensive for any use. As long as they continue to be’ ‘8, naval limitation will be » popular topic. _.

In that one respect, Cuba seems to be a few jumps ahead of us. Capone has the United States buffaloed. He comes and goes just about as he pleases, and no one séems to know just how to deal with him. But Cuba— well, it took Cuba just 48 hours to pitch him out of the country. Cash for Gold Star Mothers A Boston newspaper suggests that such Gold Star mothers as are unable to accept the government's offer of a free trip to France be given, instead, a cash settle- ment of $850, which is approximately the cost of each trip. There is a good deal of scnse to this. Many mothers whose sons died overseas cannot afford to take the trip, even when all expenses are paid. They have to earn liv- ings for themselves and their families. Indeed, the Bos- ton paper making this proposal estimates that not more. than a third of the eligible Gold Star mothers will be able to go. To make these cash payments would, of course, great- ly increase the cost to the government of the whole plan. But it’s a rather expensive undertaking at best. Making cash payments to mothers who cannot afford to accept the free trip would bring a good deal of help ta homes that need it badly. | EditorialComment | | Party Registration (Grand Forks Herald) Assessors throughout the state are required to register the political party affiliation of voters, provided the vot- ers wish to declare themselves. The voter need not in- dicate his party if he does not wish to do so, but unless he does he cannot participate in the primary election, for the primary is distinctly a party affair. Those who have declared themselves Republicans will be given Re- publican ballots at the primary and may assist in the selection of Republican candidates for the various of- fices to be filled. Those registering as Democrats have similar rights with reference to Democratic candidates. It happens that in this state and on state matters there is no real contest between Republicans and Democrats as such. The actual contest is between Independents and supporters of the Nonpartisan league and its policies. Because of their understanding of where the contest. lies, most Republicans and most Democrats ignore party lines in the election of state officials and devote them- selves to the nomination and election of those candi- dates who most nearly represent their views on matters relating to the government of the state of North Dakota. ‘The real contest at the coming primary will be for nominations on the Republican ticket. This is not a presidential year, and it is taken for granted that Re- publicans of one complexion or other will be elected to congress in each of the congressional districts. At the primary and the following general election, therefore, there will be decided, not matters of national concern on which the two great parties are divided, but matters relating solely to the state of North Dakota, its political and economic affairs. The initial decisions relating to these subjects will be |* made by those who vote Republican ballots at the June primary. Those who register now as Republicans will have an opportunity to vote those ballots. Those who do not will not have that opportunity. It follows that those who register as Democrats will be depriving themselves of the possibility of influencing the nomination of per- sons who are later to be elected to important-state offices. Under the conditions which prevail in North Dakota no charge of lack of party loyalty will lie against those who, in their national affiliations are Democrats,. but. who this year register as Republicans. In no other way can they express themselves effectively at the polls. This fact has been made clear to voters who are affiliated with the Nonpartisan league. Those voters understand that regardless of their attitude.on national questions they can best influence’the state legislation and’ state administration by operating for the time being as mem- bers of the Republican party, and the practice of regis- tering as Republicans is almost universal within that group. If Independents are not to place themselves at ® serious disadvantage by dividing their forces where unity is essential, they must follow the same course. It is important, therefore, that Independents of both parties, men and women alike, shall register as Republicans. Gasoline vs. Beauty? (Washington Star) To stimulate, rather than stifle, the public's love of touring is obviously one of the major objects of the oil industry. After all has been said, Lure-of-the-Open- Road—the really open road—is the greatest salesman of that gigantic industry. How blind, how monstrous, how stupid, therefore,. is the springtime competition which leading oil concerns are now entering upon to desecrate every pleasant high- way with their blatant billboards and to shut off every dainty woodland with their crude ani contradictory gaso- line claims! > Is this the return motorists are to get for the billions which they spend annually? Between them and a glimpse of some green bit of fresh-leafed fairyland must there always stand the huge high-hued blurb of some oil com- pany, forgetful of the interests of its customers? Is this really a “good will” ign, or has some one's nightmare been carried over into daylight and made a matter of hideous record in the great out-of-doors? Is the man who buys gasoline—Everyman—made friendly by gasoline advertisements that take away half of his in motoring? Must he remain content with the flash of an occasional tree between gasoline signs? Is it enough if, with outstretched neck, in traversing long Janes of advertising, he occasionally glimpses a blue and vagrant cloud or sees the dance of sunlight on some un- hidden tree-top? So furious ,and foolish has this competitive ugliness become that along one of the most beautiful roads out of Washington, destined to be a part of the magnificent. national park system, gorgeous, able trees are being cut down to give a better “reveal” to the gasoline billboards. Fie upon you, gentlemen of the oil business! A truce in your warfare for ugliness! Have you not already pun- ished your customers sufficiently? Is it not enough to shut off the trees? Must you also cut down those few graceful spirits that stand close to the road trying to mitigate somewhat the hotrors of your “art”? The next forward step in the gasoline industry will be the initiation by some leading company of a policy of aiding-the motorist and nature to become closer friends. .| There is no more logical friendship, and no interest senes to benefit financially by it more than the oil Such a policy of selling gasoline by making its use more enjoyable would win the, approval of everybody, whereas the peeeens Dany of competitive desecration is certain to react agi the industry by decreasing the delights of motoring and by increasing the public re- sentment toward systematized and unnecessary ugliness. . eas Censoring the Air (Duluth Herald) ‘There have been several recent incidents which prove that the radio broadcasting. industry will have to form some definite and valid system of self-censorship if it is not to land itself in a peck of trouble. - An Illinois decision recently awaided damages for slander against a radio speaker, and a newspaper in commenting on this incident says that “the time may come when the station itself will be held liable.” reason on earth why the station itself |/ 1s there any should not be held liable now?

This is the sit- uation which Byrd later called the most thrilling experience of his life.

The appearance of the pole is described by him as fol- lows: ‘“It did not not look different from other miles of ice we had just pour it for him. lovely, but you must first say how do you do to Mr. Converse. He is a very dear friend of mine.” eee ERNADINE looked beyond the boy’s cherub face at Alan. Bobby turned to follow Ler glance. Alan had an impression of being put on mental scales and weighed carefully. Hoe felt the scrutiny of owl-eyed candor, and he took it seriously. Underneath the four-year exterior that was perfectly angelic, Alan saw an earnest little soul ‘who would want to take the world apart and see-what made it go. He told him- self that it was a bit silly to feel as he did—that he was glad he -hadn’t much on his conscience, But in view of the fact that he might some day be the boy's foster father, he thought it was excusable, “How do you do, Bobby?” he said, with the dignity that is so often denied children. Bobby was won, He came over and shook hands as much like a man as he could, The faithful Nel- lle, afraid of the day when she or someone would have to tell him that his Mummy had gone away on @ long trip, already was beginning to prepare him with a feeling of self-dependence, She had told him that he must be a little man and act bravely about anything that happened to him! Her training was taking effect, Bobby often remembered to curb his childish impulses, Having told Alan he was glad to Meet him, he turned back to his mother, filled with thought of his special prayer that she must hear. She guessed what was on his mind. “What. ts it, Bobby? she asked. “Something Mr. Converse can hear?” Bobby considered Alan thought- fully for a moment. He appeared puzzled. Then, very seriously, he ejasked: “Mummy, does Dod ever hear prayers when a feller’s just }practicin’ sayin’ em?” Bernadine amiled with her eyes, “Why, dear?” she countered gravely, \ Again Bobby looked solemnly at but now his eyes were be 1 yu, ‘ be if only he had a daddy to emu- late. ‘throat, and passed.

G. writes: “I wear thick glasses for myopia. Do you think it would be possible to discard them if I used the right system of dieting and exercising?” Answer: Myopia is due to an irreg- ular shape of the eyeball and this can seldom be completely cured. How- ever, @ fasting and dieting regimo nearly always proves of benefitvin any form of eye defect. You can help yourself in a general way by proper dieting, but be sure to wear suitable glasses if your optometrist tells you that they are necessary, ‘ Water Question: H. B. J. asks: “How much water can a healthy person drink without injuring the kidneys? Some doctors advise drinking six or eight glasses, and others do not advise any certain amount. What is your idea?” Answer: The amount of water one should drink during the day depends upon the amount of exercise, the weather, amount of seasoning in food, and the proportion of fruits ant vege- tables used. If one uses enough of the juicy fruits and green vegetables it is not necessary to drink much wa- ter. If dried foods are used instead of the fresh, six or eight glasses of water would not be too much. Sulphur Dioxtd Gas Question: A. C.
