MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 1918.
FUEL FOR THE WINTER
Th® phrase of "muddling through" is of British
origin. It was coined by British people to describe'what
•has been accepted as one of the most pronounced
ish characteristics, that of going at a thing without much
system or preparation, and, by she&r dogged persistency,
blundering through with a reasonable measure of suc
cess.
We of the United States are addicted sometimes to
similar practices. Ours has been a land of plenty, .and
it has been taken for granted that, whether proper prep
aration were made or not, in some way we should be able
to obtain the things that we really needed, when we
needed them. This has been our attitude toward fuel-
In the past we have obtained fuel. Sometimes it may
have been a little difficult to get, and in those cases we
have taken it but by cursing the miners, or the rail
roads, or the local dealers. "We have given smalj thought
to the physical obstacles in the way of the delivery of
our accustomed supply. Then, when the emergency was
over we have proceeded before, and usually have mud
dled through.
There is a limit to the possibilities in this direction.
!We cannot go out in the wood lot and haul in an extra
cord of wood, because the lot and the wood are not there.
Most of us must defend on coal for our warmth next
winter, and if enough coal is not made available during
the summer months for our use next Winter we shall not
have the fuel. No miracle will be worked to supply us.
The fuel must be obtained now, or in the very near fu
ture, or it will not be available.
In the circumstances it is both the sound policy and
the dutry of every individual in the state to take prompt
/jand-«ffeetiVB steps to secure his supply of fuel. The fuel
be obtained now, but the estimate of need should
.be made,
NORWAY AND THE WAR
"v I There Is food for thought in the first-hand informa
tion brought from Norway by L. J. Siljan, editor of the
Normanden, after a tour of the Scandinavian peninsula
lasting several months. From the specific facts which
he mentions as to prices and supplies of commodities,
it is easy to conjure up ajharrowing picture of the state
of affairs among the -Norwegians at home. We in this
country"are becoming accustomed to what we call high
prices, but it is evident that in comparison with our
friends across the ocean we do not know what high
prices are. But a statement of price alone does not tell
the tale. Many oemmodities ordinarily considered
among the necessaries of life are not obtainable at any
i'k price, and the quality of others is seriously impaired.
We can scarcely conceive of conditions in which, for
—Instance '-in order to maintain cattle at all it is neces
sary to feed them on fish, and to use butter impregnated
with the flavor of this food.
Th» Scandinavian countries would, in any event,
..{ have suffered greatly from-a general European war, no
matter how scrupulously the combatants had observed
the rules of civilized warfare. But these inevitable ln
conveniences which wohld have been bearable under
such conditions as the world had a right to expect, have
been transformed into a calamity to an innocent people
by the adoption by Germany of her policy of frightful
t.
ness, not only to her belligerent enemies, but toward
this neutrals who had no part in the war and were doing
their best to keep out of it. The sinking of Norwegian
veewla by German submarines, at first greeted with ex
jireaeions of surprise and horror, has become so com
monplace as scarcely to attract attention* and it is chiefly
tfieae outrages which are responsible for the cutting off
of the ordinary food supply and the straits into which
:th» entire nation,has been forced.
In a general way, of ^ourse, the facts have been
well known, but the citation of specific instances by a
.trsvder, who has-just Returned from making personal
"observation places the subject In a more Impressive light.
It ^has been -pointed out In these columns, as elsewhere,
that of all the groups in our population drawn recently
from foreign lands, those who hail from Norway have
a pevfcaps the greatest reason for profound indignation
ag^nst the Hon, because, in addition to the injuries and

Ainstwdam, June .10.—The Gterman
boat league,- a national orgaAlntion
purpose is to vpopularix^" the
Insults which have been heaped upon the United States,
the land of their adoption, they are witnesses to a sys
tem of malevolent persecution waged against the coun
try of their origin, and of causeless sufferings inflicted
upon their own friends and kin by the same enemy of
humanity. f~- fCl'-'
One fact which Mr. Siljan states furnishes material
for an. interesting study of reflex Influences, Norwegian
sentiment, which has always inclined quite strongly to
ward the allies, is now, we are tQld, turning even more
strongly in that direction, and the chief impetus Is the
vast volume of letters to-: their Norwegian parents or
friends written by young American soldiers of Norwe
gian birth or ancestry who are now serving in the armies
of the United States. It is exceedingly interesting to
trace the formation and'growth of this sentiment Nor
wegians have come to tlie United States to take upon
themselves the duties of citizenship in this new land
They or their sons have, in common with others in our
mixed population, taken up arms in the cause of democ
racy throughout the world, and in defense of the land
which has become their home. And, because of the
messages which these men are sending to their relatives
and former associates across the seas, the people ^n their
own home land are becoming more and more permeated,
with the pirit which animates themselves.
WHERE ARE THE PRO-GERMANS
Where are the pro-Germans in the election cam
paigns in this and adjoining states? Does any sane per
son maintain for a moment that any man of Germafi
sympathies in Minnesota is supporting Burnqiiist for
governor Will it be contended for a moment- that any
such man can be found who Is not a supporter of Lind-.
bergh?
What pro-German in North Dakota is Supporting
John Steen for governor? How many of them are for
Norton or "Vick for congress? Everypne knows that the
entire pro-German sentiment of the state is with the
candidates who have received the Townley endorsement,
Frazier for governor, Baer for congress, and so on down
the line.
It is not suggested that all who are supporting the
Townley candidates are pro-German. It is asserted em
phatically that all the pro-Germans are supporting the
Townley candidates, and that those of their supporters
who are really loyal are in mighty bad company.-,
And when it is found, as it is in this case, that the
disloyal sentiment is all one way, and is concentrated
on one set of candidates, it is evident that there must he
some reason for it These things do nW just happen.
It will he of some interest to men who are loyal to
the American government, and who may have sons or
other relatives at the front, to figure out just what this
reason is, and whether or not it is safe andwiae for
them to ally themselves politically with an element which
is so thoroughly out of sympathy with the national cause.
AN INDEPENDENT MAN
John Steen is known to be a man of capacity and
integrity. He has also made a record for political inde
pendence-
vHe
ME.
N
does not know what it is to be bossed.
Two years ago he could easily have assured himself of,
renomination for the state treasurership by yielding up
his independence to Townley. That sort of thing was
contrary to his habit, and he preferred to take his
chancos in a fight. He became a candidate without the
consent or support of
Townley, and the latter waged
war on him. Steen was not dismayed. He stood -his,
again he has a fight on his hands. The full machinery
of which Mr. Townley is in undisputed control is being
used against M. Steen, but again he is taking the case
to the people And relying on them for vindication.
If Mr. Steen is elected the state will have a real
governor. The executive department at Bismarck will
not rest under the shadow of any boss. Steen will be a
governor of and for the people, and he will acknowledge
no control other than his own conception of his duty, to
the people
MARITIME SWITZERLAND
Switzerland being a land-locked coun/ry, mention of
the Swiss navy has been accepted as, a sort of interna
tional joke. But, if all international obligations were
carried out. Switzerland might, If she chose, maintain
her own navy and conduct her foreign commerce to and
from her own ports in her own ships. The Vienna con
gress of 1815, which undertook to settle things after the
downfall of Napoleon, made special provision for Swit
zerland's access to the sea. By the treaty there framed
the Rhine was made an international river. The Rhine'
rises in Switzerland, separates the French province of
Alsace from Prussia, and passes through Holland before
it discharges into the sea. By the terms of the agree
ment the navigation of the river was made free to the
nations which it borders or through whose territory it
passes. Prussia was a party to this agreement, and
Prussia undertook to maintain the part of the river
adjoining her territory in navigable 9ondition.
Acocrding to her custom, Prussia has violated the
terms of her agreement. In sentiment and in fact she
has tried to Germanize the plver. She has deliberately
neglected to maintain navigation on the upper reaches
of the river, and by the-construction of low bridges she
has made Its navigation from Switzerland impossible ex
cept for the smallest craft. She has done this for the
purpose of imposing on Switzerland a commercial and
industrial vafesalage to her, and she
still further restrictions "on the use
ing great power plants along its upper section. As a
matter of form the consent of Switzerland to this pro
gram has been' asked, and the Swiss naturally do not
approve. Their objections will count for little. Ger
many will work her will on them, as she has done on
others, regardless of right or-wrong. She can.be pre
vented only by the success of-the allied armies.

The Days of Real Spqrt
The collapse of Russia was not a
victory for German arms. It was -a
triumph of German propaganda. And
the defeat of the Italian armies wub
achieved only after German agents,
wjbrking with rumors, slanders, coun
terfeit newspapers, fefged letters and
all the other weapons of German
treachery, had opened 'an impregna
ble Italian'. position to the successful
assault of an inferior. German force.
America is now the. strongest
enemy that 3ermahy has. A weaken
ing of our public morale is as neces
sary to German success as the weak
ening of Russia was. And the at
tempt to weaken us has already de
veloped tfeo main lines of movement.
Ihe first aims to destroy our unity of
action with our allies by setting us
against the French, the British, and
the Japanese. The second proposes
to destroy our domestic unity by en
couraging among us every sort of
class dissension, religious difference,
racial prejudice and political quarrel.
Slandering the DeBCb.
The officials of the Red Cross re
port that many loyal mothers are re
fusing to let their daughters volun
teer as nurses -in France because of
rumors of immoral conditions in the
hospitals there. A detailed story has
been circulated to the effect that 200
Red Cross nurses have recently been
returned to a transport from abroad
and secretly removed to maternity
hospitals here as patients. There is
not a word of truth in the story. It
has been investigated by a Federal
grand Jury in New York City and
found to be false.' German sympa
thizers caught circulating it Jiave been
interned. The nurses in service in
our hospitals in VYance have the same
discipline and protection that they
have here—and need it as little. The
story has been invented to haihper
the work of the Red Cross and to
prejudice us against our French allies.
A similar aim is evident, in the re
ports of drunkenness and irtimorality
among efor forces at the front. These
charges, most circumstantially made,
were .even' taken'up by the national
leaders of our prohibition societies
and purity leagues, and an appeal wag
slnt out to' the readers of the religi
ous press asking them to protest to
President Wilson. The number of
these protests showed the success of
the slander,
As: a matter of fact, no liquor ra
tion is served to. our troops, either
here or abroad. No army canteen
sells alcoholic liquors. By Gen.
Pershing's orders, pur soldiers in
France are forbidden "either to buy

ants any "alcoholic beverages other
than light wine or beer." As there is

upon the troops ar^ typical of the
work of the German general staff. It
haa been their policy in their cam
paigns of propaganda to circulate in
an enemy country the falsehoods that
most appeal to that country's preju
dices. America, in its ignorance of
all France outside of the tourist
haunts of Paris, Is easily -imposed up
on with stories of French vice. The
German propagandist knows that. He
is planning to take advantage of it for
his own purposes. He is making a
drive upon the sentiments and emo
tions of American women just as he
.first attacked the susceptibilities of
the Italian women behind the lines in
preparing the way for the Italian de
feat. How well he is succeeding in
America is shown by a passage in that
appeal for a protest to President Wil
son which was printed In the religious
press.
It pointed out: "Throughout this
country- a feeling of bitterness) dan
gerous in the extreme is arising and
gazing with menacing eyes toward
France. The mothers who have rear
ed sons strong and cleans and who
have given them with glad, aching
hearts—women who have loved
France and glorified her—are ndw
muttering that our boys are wanteU
for the profits of their debauchery
and not to take their deaths in
strength and cleanliness." Such
mothers are the victims of a German
falsehood. So is the writer who thus
described them and protested against
the "debauchery" of their soldier
sons. The reports of immoral condi
tions in France and the campaigns of
protest, against those conditions are
equally the work of German agents,
assisted by the prejudiced credulity of
their American victims.
Mr. Citizen, the Committee on .Pub
lic- Information wishes to warn you
against these snares. There will be
more of them. In Italy anonymous
letters were sent to the soldiers from
their homes accusing their, wives of
infidelity. Our military censorship
prevents such tactics among our men,
but similar Impostures will doubtless
fee attempted. Already forged letters
pretending to be from soldiers in
France hdve been found In the lobbies
of New York theaters, as if accidental
ly dropped there by the recipients. The
letters are always in the angular
handwriting of persona accustomed to
using German script. So far they
have contained little but alarming
falsehoods about the alleged slaughter
of American regiments.
Slandering the British.
In order to set us. against our Brit
ish allies, several sorts of "whispering
propaganda" are being used. There
is the story that American soldiers
are reeling around the streets of. Lon
don, drunk. If has been disproved.
There Is the charge that while we are
stinting ourselves to save grain the
English are using it to make whiskey
—although we are saving and ship
ping chiefly wheat. Which is little
used In distilling, and the figures,from
England show that the English liquor
traffic has been decreased by the. war
almost as much as ours. And there is
the report that millions of British sol
diers are held in England while the
allies are "doing their ^fighting for
them"—a falsehood that is sufficient
ly discounted by the fact tba.t the
Briton empire has 7,500,000 men in
the neld and a half million in her
fleet thai of the British troops in
France 70 per cent are English, 8 per
cent Scotch, 6 per cent,Irish, and 16
per cent Canadians, Australians, etc.
and that the cauialtdes among these
troops have been 76 -.per cent English,
lO^per cent Scotch, 6 per cent Irish
and 8 per cent Canadian*-Austrillaa.

the argument was used that the na
tion was merely "pulling England's

argument is now doing duty here, in
spite of the fact that the United

form of German outrage and Injustice

Many of the agents of this sort pf

lishers. and "whisperers," are protect,
ed'by their American citizenship and
by the traditional freedom of speech
which our laws permit. The govern
ment has no power to reach them.
They are often the innocent victims of
guiltier minds. It is only possible to
warn the public of the Infection
which they spread, and to mark them

nearly broke down the Italian power
of self-defense.
NOTHING CHANGED
BUT THE BEVERAGE
IN MICHIGAN TOWNS
Same Bartenders are Retained in
Old Saloons But Deal Out
"Near Beer."
Detroit, Mich., June 10.—Cocktail-/
less cabarets, wineless winerooms and
beer-less bars are making a determin
ed play for existence In dry Michigan^
When the amendment to the state
constitution prohibiting the sale, Im
portation or possession of wines, beers
or distilled liquors became effective
May 1, it ofailed to close all the sa
loons. In Detroit especially the bars
continue in business In a Majority of
cases, the only change being the sub
stitution of "near" beers and the
elir(linatlon of drinks prohibited by
the amendment. Similar conditions
prevail in other cities' of the State, In
the "copper country" on., Lake Su
perior.
In some cases wineroom proprietors
have taken advantage of the new
regime to bid for prosperity along
temperance lines. Jazz bands have
been, retained—In some cases have
been augmented. The same tables—
the same waiters the same bars—the
same .bartenders everything is the
s&rie, apparently, excepting the bev
erages.
proprietors in most cases are op
ttmistlciconcerni-ng the future. Many
believe fnat with the elimination or
alcoholic drinks there will pass a ma
jor percentage of the drawbacks of
their business. These changes, they
hope, will not interfere to any appre
ciable degree with their patronage.
Some.cabaret owners hore to profit
by catering to a restaurant trade—a
more or leas perfunctory adjunct of
the cabaret of pre-May days. By giv
ing additional attention to the cuisine
they believe that, sifter all,, the law
,that threatened to drive them from
business may 'have the more salutary
effect of putting their places on a
more stable -basis.
Cabarets, that before May 1 were
classed as "undesirable" are also tak
ing a new interest in Jife ahd -are re
sounding the jazfe nfusic for music
for dancing and .giving restaurant and
