WAR SITUATION TODAY

The great forward movement Of the German forces
through Belgium is now under full swing.
This is the news to be CLEANED from the dispatches today.
It means that the titanic struggle between the mighty
force that Germany has been concentrating in Belgium for
weeks, and the opposing force, consisting of French, Belgian
and English allies, is probably now being fought out in all
its desperate fury.
It may be that the allies are dropping back and will con-
tinue to drop back without serious effort at checking the
German advance until they reach some strongly fortified po-
stion. English and French experts claim the Germans are
being drawn into a trap. !" ~,
In the meantime the world awaits with bated breath for
definite news. The Germans are confident that their splen-
did force, which is trained to the minute and is welded to-
gether as one majestic fighting machine, will crush the allies,
who, according to the opinion Of the Germans, can not work
in such close unison as will the Germans. r.
On the other hand, the allies claim they are prepared to
administer a crushing defeat to the Germans.
which is right? The next few days, perhaps the next
t~Wentyfour hours will bring the answer.

RESIDENT OF N. D,
FOR FIFTY YEARS,

Pembina, N. D.. Aug. 19.-Mrs.
Charles Cavalier celebrated her
18th birthday Aug. 7. 1t is just
fifty years ago, July 1. since she
came to Pembina to reside Der
manently. The marvellous changes
she has seen in this country since
then comprise the whole history of
this state and county. The prairies
were then the pasture of the buff
falo. The nomadic inhabitants
were Indians and Metis, who exist
ed on the buffalo and other wild
animals and sold the hides and
furs for other necessities. These
have all passed and but few like
Mrs. Cavalier remain who saw the
country in its wild state. Mrs.
Cavalier Is still in excellent health
and works as hard as many wom-
en- much younger.

Double Iron Door.

New York Independent: Both Italy
and Switzerland have adopted meas
ures to fortify the entrances OF the
famous Simplon tunnel.
Near the middle Of the tunnel, a few
yards from the Swiss frontier, Italian
engineers have put in place a double
iron door hat can resist the rush Of
an express train proceeding at the
rate of sixty miles an hour. This iron
door is worked by electricity from
Iselle, the station at the italian end Of
the tunnel, and under ordinary condi-
lions it is hidden in the rocky side of
the tunnel. The door is carefully test
ed once a week.
The mines are connected with
Brique and Iselle by electrical devices,
so that by the mere pressure of a
button the Simplon tunnel could be
destroyed in a second.

Phrase Came DoWn From Time When
Dogs Actually Went to Battle.
London Chronicle: Dogs have gone
to the wars from the very earliest
times. They parked at the siege of
Troy. In those early days. however,
they were used as sentinels and for
purposes Of defense. In the middle
ages they attacked. The tracking mis-
sion of the Scottish bloodhound has
been noted. but the dogs were also
used to attack cavalry. For this duty
they were clothed in coats OF mail
studded with spikes and scythes to
confuse the horses. And when fire
brands were also attached to the mail
the opposing camp looked for fire ex-
tinguishers. That these dogs played
no mean part in the field is proved by
the fact that Henry VIII offered the
Spanish king, Charles ", 4 10000 auxil-
iaries and 1000 wal dogs to help him
against Francis I,

Chicago. Aug. 19.-The chief cause of
the advance in wheat the last two days
Is that many of the exporters at the
sea-board and elsewhere have suddenly
discovered hat they were short, and
have been free buyers. Their purchas-
es have greatly helped the advance.
They recently sold a great deal of
wheat originally sold abroad for Aug
ust shipment under the impression that
the war automatically cancelled their
contracts with the German countries as
well as with England and France. A
clause In the London corn contract un-
der which practically all sales are
made abroad says: Should shipment be
prevented by prohibition of exports,
blocade or hostilities, this contract or
n untitled part is to be cancelled"
The question is where must hostilities
be, to render the sales void under the
London contract.
France and England are open but the
German ports are closed. Herald.
