No CHANGE Of ANY IMPORTANCE
REPORTED N EUROPEAN STRIFE


No marked changes in the battle
line in France and Belgium are indi-
Gated by the latest official reports.
The Germans claim progress at sew
eral points in the extreme west, no.
tably near Yprcs, where they are
trying to break through to Calais.
The French say there is nothing
new to report in the operations north
of the river Lys.
Petrograd claims continued sue
cess in east Prussia and south of the
Vistula, while Germany says cOndi-
tions in these regions are unchanged.
Russia still contends that her
troops are vigorously defeating the
Turks, but the Ottoman government
contradicts this and declares that its
forces are the victors in the engage
ments that have occurred thus far.
A Petrograd newspaper says Il
Turkish army Of 5000 men is on the
Cancusus frontier and has occupied
many villages.
A newspaper dispatch from Odessa
says twelve German and Turkish col
liers have been sunk of the coast Of
Anatolia.
France, following the lead Of Great
Britain, has declared war on Turkey.
Persia has sent note to the pow
ers announcing that it will maintain
strict neutrality. The Spanish pre-
mier also says that Spain will not be-
come embroiled.
American marines are said to have
landed in Beirut, Syria, to protect
the Christian population.
No decision has been reached yet
in the battle of the sand dunes in
West Flanders and the opposing
armies now stand virtually as they
have stood for many days.
While the Germans keep hammer.
ing away at the allies around Ypres
which route they chose for their
march to the coast after they had
found the road along the sea barred
to them, and the allies are making ar
effort to move northward to Ostend
neither side has got very far.
The Belgians and those support
ing them have found that the flood.
which they created to stop the Ger
man advance, are a hindrance Il
their movements, although they hav'
been able to occupy some villages
including Bixschoote, which had beer
in the possession Of the Germans.
Around Ypres the German often

allies, has met with no success, il
fact, it seems that all along the lin
there has been merely a repetition
Of artillery duels and infantry at

WILL TRAMP THOUGH PARK
Dr. H. r. Brush Proposes to Make
Thorough Trip Over Glacier Ma
tiOnal In Montana.

DR.. Fl. R. Brush. who is making a
tour of the Wonderland Trail as the
representative of the officers, is to
tramp" through a great part of the
Glacier National park. The trail ex-
tends through the park for about sixty
miles, passing through the southern
end. Mr.. Brush is to survey this sec
ton of the trail. He also is going to
kalispel. Mont, to assist the state
road enthusiasts in organizing the
Montana division of the Wonderland
Trail. 49,.
After the trail is completely organ
lied. the officers of the association will
appeal to congress to open up and
build a public highway through the
National park. When this is done. it
will open an entirely new route
through Montana to the west.
At present, the only direct route
is through the southern section by
way of Great Falls.
After organizing the Montana divi-
sion II surveying the GLACIER park
route, Mr.. Brush will proceed west
over the remainder of the trail. He
is to help the Idaho people organize.

Government ownership Of baseball,
while quite in line with the modern
tendency to make the government
run everything. would be a delightful
innovation in the realm of sport.
Doubtless the public would welcome
free baseball. 1t is not at all likely
that it will ever realize such a dream
except on the White House ellipse
between the teams of the various gov
full it would be. however. to be able
to enter the baseball park without
paying any admission! Would they
be willing to play ball at the usual
government salaries?. Would they be
willing to work an eight-hour day at
$1,000 a year each. like most of the
clerks in the government departments
Would they even be willing to work
for the salary paid to congressman?
strike among the players would prob
ably be realized If there were any
serious attempt to make baseball one
of the government m%opololies. The
rule ~forbidding government employees
to lobby for an increase in salary, il
applied to the baseball stars, would
produce a riot.
Members of congress would find it
payment Of higher salaries, or they
would find themselves opposed for re-
election in Michigan m New York
by such politico-baseball heroes as
Hughie Jennings and Christy Mathew
son.
Possibly it is true that organized
baseball should be regarded as a
trust within the meaning of the Sher-
man law. Possibl ythe crusade of the
American and National leagues against
the Federals should be regarded as
unfair competition or restraint of
trade. But woe to the encouragement
al or congressional committee that
hampers with the hot potato.
Baseball. rightfully or wrongfully,
is generally regarded as above the
law, and IT. is but right and just that
it should stand alone. Government
OWNERSHIP pwould be regarded as an
evasion Of sacred rights, even by the
fans who pay the tolls.

THRESHERS ARE
AGAIN AT WORK
Slight Delay by Rainfall
in Pembina-Heavy
Barley Yield.

Judging from reports received in
the city, threshing in North Dakota
and northwestern Minnesota will be
general by the end of the week. Since
the rains of a few days ago, there has
been little threshing done, only a few
loads of grain being delivered in the
city.
Only a fe wreports of wheat yields
ave been received in the city. Arthur
Bayes, who resides near Wahpeton,
reports a yield of II bushels to the
acre. He reports that he threshed 10
bushels of winter rye to the acre and
80 bushels of oats. George Canhaw,
lives in the same section, thresh-
ed ten bushels of wheat to the acre.
yields are considered good in
view of the rust damage.
Hail in Pembina.
Farmers in the vicinity of Pembina
report heavy damage by hail. Late
barley was particularly damaged, it
is said. Other grains also were dam
aged to a considerable extent.
Other sections of the state have sent
in few. If any reports regarding the
%threshing. 1t is expected, however,
that the hum of the threshing ma
chimes will be heard throughout the
northern half of the state by Satur-
day. and yield reports will come rap
idly after that.
Barley Yield Fine.
Jacob Dobmeier, a prominent farm
residing a short distance from this
city, stated today that his barley this
year has yielded an average Of As
bushels to the acre He has consid-
land planted in barley and the
entire crop is turning out fine. He is
greatly pleased with the results. Mr..
Dobmeier also expects to get good
yields from his other grain.

The more You dilute certain posons
with water the more deadly they be-
come. This remarkable fact has been
recently demonstrated by DR.. F..
Roux. the we'll known French scien-
fist, before the Academy of Science
at Paris. -
The poisons used in the tests were
principally of the bacterial variety,
but there seems to be no reason to be!
ly true of othe poisons. q
Some, of the bacterial poisons ex-
perimented with became doubly vir-
lie when diluted with 400, times their
volume of distilled water When less
water was used the poisons proved
less harmful. and when they were
diluted to an even greater extent their
poisonous action increased. The con-
clusion vas compelled that the great
the poisons became, and the only ex-
PLANTATION ogered was that the resist
ance was diminished by the water.
This Is not the only paradox con-
nected with the action Of poisons that

Mr.. Spauldin says that he does not
