FARGO lQa., May }, lSlf
Editor Tribune:-I noticed in last
weeks issue of your valuable paper a
few letters from some of the citizens
of Fargo, in which they attempt to
make it appear that about 5000 OF the
people of Fargo were opposed to
county division. 1t is strange how
they could make their estimate of
the per centage opposed when they
claim they had heard very little about
it.
| was somewhat surprised at G. l..
Pearson having such a tender spot
for the business men of Caldwell
when he largely patronizes mail order
houses, but | was not surprised at
his opposing anything that might up
build his own community. He in
variably opposes everything that
would be for the betterment of this
community, such as rural high
schools. He opposed that on the
ground that it would be several years
before his children would be old
enough to use the school. There is
one thing l admire the people of
Caldwell for That is, for trying to
build up their own town and, by the
way, Mr.. Editor, l would like to know
why it is not as laudable for the peo-
pie OF Homedale and vicinity to try
to build town on the banks of the
Snake, as it is for Caldwell to try to
build a city in an alkali slough.
Yours truly,
B. F. LEAVELL.

GRIM REALITIES OF
THE BATTLEFIELD
(Bv Lawrence Elston.)

(By Lawrence Elston.)
(Staff Correspondent of the Interna-
tional News Service.)
London. Get. 29.-People of this
generation have never before seen
real war, and they have hard time
realizing what it means. True they
have read histories Of the wars of
years ago, bat it is hard for the aver
age reader to grasp the difference be-
tween history and fiction, as far as
realizing the actual conditions is con
cerned,
Consequently, the people now living
are obtaining their first realization Of
the grim realities of the war, from
tales told by the wounded now ar
irving in England, and the letters sent
back by the men at the front.
Through the letters of soldiers at
the front to their friends, and from
the lips of those who have returned
home wounded, many glimpses of the
battlefield are being obtained. Un-
happily there are too many indepen-
dent hut corroborative statements Of
shameless brutalities by the enemies,
not only against men in arms, but
against the wounded and women and
children.
Private Lewis Downs, of the Royal
Munster Fusiliers, who was one of the
British soldiers present at the bat
tie Of Mons in the nine days fight,
states that the endurance and courage
of every member of the British forces
engaged were astounding to the
enemy. Every officer and man entered

EXPLORING FOR OIL

FORTY DAYS WILL BE OCCUPIED

FIELDS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 25.-
Consul General Thomas Sammans, at
Shanghai, reports on American oil
drilers in China as follows:
During early June, 1914, 10 expert
oil-wel drillers, of the Standard Oil
company, left Shanghai for Shensi
province in Northern China to make
a procaical investigation of oil posi-
bilities. They are to proceed via
Hankow, on the Yanktze river thence
to Honanfu on the railroad line be
tween Hankow and Picking From that
point forty days will be occupied in
reaching the old fields
On the initial trip the party con
veys $50 to 300 tons of American oil
drilling machinery, including cable
tools for drilling There are four
outfits of this kind, besides two add.
tional outfits of rotary machinery for
soft formation work. This caravan
is utilizing 300 Chinese carts and, as
forty days are required to reach the
oil fields from the railway at Hon
aniu and an equal number of days

1t is anticipated, however, that
only short time will be required by
the American experts to demonstrate
the oil prospects in Northern China.

All the provisions and supplies for

FIRST LOCOMOTIVE IN THE WORLD
NOW

Today over $4,000 locomotives =
are in motion over the 100000 Z
miles of trackage in the United Z
States. They consume about I
$50 100000 tons Of coal and car
ry over billion passengers and 4
/ 800 100000 tons of freight an 4
nually. After adopting the Eng 4
lish-born child of civilization, the
United States took the lead in
its development and application
until today it stands as the
worlds greatest manufacturer of
locomotives. Besides making
enough to meet the domestic de-
mand. the American manufactur-
ers are shipping locomotives
abroad at the rate of dozen
week. They are laundering
through the mountains of South
America and over the plains and
valleys of Africa; they are dis
turbing the calm of the orient,
and are dashing from one end
of Europe to the other; they
have invaded the land of the To-
comotive's birth, England, and
are in use upon its principal
railways. Like the steamship,
the locomotive is growing larger
and more powerful every year
The largest reported TO be in
use today is a huge compound
engine which measures 120 feet
over all and weighs $4,000
pounds 1t is an oil-burner and
carries 1000 gallons of oil and
$4,000 gallons of water 1t cost
$43,SSO to build. These giants
have reached a point where one
locomotive is so long that it is
hinged in the middle with flex-
ible Joint so that 1t can turn
a curve without upsetting. Thus
the locomotive has become the
modern Atlas" that carries the
burden of the worlds trade and
population across the continents.

heavy losses in the war, according to

ment is expressed at the slowness of
events, but confidence in the Emperor
and the army is the dominant note of
public feeling. No one doubts that
sooner or later there will be a favor

Go forth and wander where you may,
North, south, or east, or west,
The grandest sight earth can display,
The brightest and the best.
scepters and crowns, they are but
dros
When seen beside the crimson cross.
The cross that binds the gaping wound,
And stays the bleeding breast,
That lifts the groaning from the
ground.
And soothes him into rest;
Their help, their hope, their stay,
their cheer,
Whene'er the crimson cross draws
near.
Where widows wait and orphans cry,
Or sit in mute despair,
They hear the sufferers softest sigh,
The sufferers sorrow share
The crimson cross, It's not in vain
They drag the wounded from the slain.
The flaming sword, the clash, the
thrust,
The lannon's laundering roar
All these shall change to rust and
dust,
Unseen, unheard, no more.
The crimson cross will conquer all.
Before its face they fee the fall.
'Tis not the iron hands of kings
That makes the slaughter cease;
The cross, the cross, the victory brings
And robes the earth in peace.
The crimson cross from Calvary's hill,
Says to this warning words, "Be still. "

FOLKSTONE, Nov. 17.-English
health officers at Folkstone are taking
unusual precautions to prevent the ad-
mission of diseases into England from
the war zone. Passengers arriving on
the Flushing, Dieppe, Boulogne and
Calais boats are examined with great
care.
Folkstone is now practically the only
commercial port open to passenger bus
mess from the continent, so the stream
of refugees, tourists and wounded sol
diers all pass through this port.
Health officers feel the pulse of ev-
cry passenger examine the wrist care
fully, look into the throat and eyes and
scrutinize the forehead for evidence of
smallpox. In order that they may see
the foreheads of ladies whose hair is
fashinonably dressed it is frequently
necessary to push the hat and front
hair back. This action on the part of
physicians has frequently caused the
ladies to believe the physicians were
secret service men who suspected
they had messages concealed in their
hair.
immigration officials and plain
clothes men examine the papers of all
passengers very carefully before they
enter England and usually engage
them in conversation in an effort to as
certain whether their French or Eng
lish has a German accent Baggage is
also examined thoroughly by inspec-
tors to make sure it contains no Ger
man newspapers or letters from Ber-
lin for persons in England
Because of the improper use made of
American passports by Lieutenant
Lody of the German Naval Reserve and
other spies apprehended in England,
France and Belgium, all bearers of
American passports are vigorously
eros questioned.

Inglis was in Berlin at the outbreak

AMIENS, France, Nov. 17.-From
soldiers wha have been fighting near
Roye l learn that the hostile trenches
there at some points are only Is yards
apart, so that the enemies can hear
one another talking.
Last week, a company of sappers,
misled by the darkness, drove their
picks Unexpectedly right into Ger
man trench, where a squad of Teuton
sappers were at work The men fought
in the dark with picks and shovels, I'M
til rifles also began to crack, where
upon each side drew back.
French cemeteries, with their strong
stone tombs sometimes play an i'm
portant part in the hostilities. Thus
the Germans, have interenched them
selves on a cemetery height near Roye,
and have made it strong position.
The vaults offer safe shelter against
rain and shrapnel, while metallic cof-
fins have been placed along the edge
of the trenches as protection against
rife fire.
