American Reports That Battle

New York, Sept. 24.-Failure OF the

Surgeon General Linden Bell of the

Of rank
The following is a report of the facts
as the official is said to have given
them to DR.. Mason:
when 100000 British under Gener-
al French we're opposed by 225,OOO
Germans OF General Won Kluck's army
az Mons, General French saw that he
was in a desperate situation.
After the first days fighting and
when the overwhelming forces of the
Germans threatened TO surround the
entire British expeditionary force,
General French sent an earnest appeal
for aid to the French military com
mander of that district. He asked that
10000 French troops be rushed to his
assistance at once.
The French commander did not re-
sDond to General French's appeal for
three days and by that time the Brit
ish had managed to cut their way out
OF the German trap at a tremendous
loss.
General French sent a bitter com
plant TO Lord Kitchener, saying the
failure of the French TO answer his
plea had put the whole army in jeop-
ardy.
Lord Kitchener was furious. He
made a secret trip to Paris and LAID
his complaint against the dilatory
French commander before President
Poincare and the French war minis
ter. The latter, who was friend OF
the general complained against, refus-
ed to punish him
..Whereupon Kitchener threatened
the president of France with practical
v,fthdrawal OF the British expedition
airy forces from the field unless the
General was contaminated.
"President Poincare. eager to make
ayarv concession to Lord Kitchener,
forced the resignation of his whole
cabinet. which was disposed TO back

at Nesson, discovered the body of a
white ma floating in the water near
the landing. They tied a rope to the
body to secure it and then notified
Coroner Distad, who proceeded to
Nesson at once and held a post NOR
tenn examination. The body appeared
to be that Of a large man about 80
a old, FIVE feet eleven, broad
shouldered and well built. The body
had the appearance Of being in the
water for a long time and was badly
decomposed. The flesh was all off the
head and hands, leaving the bones
exposed. The body was dressed in a
gray wool sweater, blue shirt, white
cotton undershirt, ~suspenders, two pair
overalls, dark cotton drawers, N
mon coarse cotton socks and very high
shoes which were laced with leather
laces. Upon examining the teeth 1t
was found that the inner molar on
the left upper side and the second mo-
lar on the right lower side were miss
ing. The left middle incisor on the
lower jaw was also missing but this
might have been knocked out by
something floating in the water.
There were metal filings in the sec
ond molars on both sides OF the upper
jaw and a metal filling in the second
molar on the left side of the lower
jaw.
The clothing was searched in the
hopes of finding something that would
identify the body but there was moth
ing in the pockets but a package of
cigarette papers, a piece of roller
bandage and a beer bottle opener

WAS KILLED BY
RAILROAD SPEEDER

Wishek. N. D.. June 10. Mike
Diskes, a Greek section laborer, was
killed at Wishek, when a gasoline
speeder was thrown from the track.
Four other laborers were on the car
at the time. but none was seriously
hurt.
The car on which Diskes and com
panions were riding mad just left
Wishek and was travelling about ten
miles an hour. when the handle from
a rail jack fell in front of the wheel
and derailed it. Diskes was thrown
forward; the car and others landing
on top Of him. They Immediately
notified the authorities and the cor
oner was summoned to hold an in
quest.
Evidence taken disclosed that he
dead man had left nothing to show
his home or names Of relatives. He
was practically a stranger here. and
had worked or the 500 line for only
a short time, probably a month or
two. AS no one claimed the body and
no relatives to which to send it. the
funeral will be taken in charge by
the 500, and burial will be made at
Wishek.

The Divine Spirit.

H. D. Sedgwick in the Atlantic: Sup.
pose that man is the highest life in all
the universe, suppose that his race and
all animal life is doomed to destruction
as our planet cools off. is it not better
to nave endeavored and suffered than
never to nave endeayored at all? Pos
sibly, somewhere, a memory may live
of how the human race rose from
beastialty and lust, to devotion to
beauty, truth and love. But even if
no memory of mar shall continue after
he has persisted, still, throughout the
universe, the restless energy that ami
mated him will continue undaunted,
making its experiments, striving to
change what is into that which, &C.
cording to our human Judgment, shall
be better. Is not this a Divine Spirit,
whether it works through visible,
tangible ponderable things, or through
spiritual essences; whether it be an
a~rchangel of physico-chemical &C.
tivity that has created the soul OF
man.? Is not this the aspect of the
Trinity that must, as the disciples OF
Joachim believed, outlive the other
aspects, and do the most to satisfy
the yearning desire of man to find some
thing holy in the universe? May we
not all repeat: Credo in Spiritum
Sanctum?

COMING BACK TO
NORTH DAKOTA

Bismarck Tribune: There is food
for thought in the return Of so many
American farmers from the Canadian
northwest to North Dakota and other
northwestern states. A recent re-
port issued by a commission appoint
ed in the provision Of Saskatchewan
to investigate conditions shows that
the cost Of growing wheat in that
province last year was SIS cents a
bushel. This of course leaves a mighty
slim profit for the farmer.
The cost of producing wheat in Sas-
katchewan, the Canadian provincial
commission found, has increased IL
per cent since 1909, and the price has
decreased from 81h cents a bushel TO
66B cents, leaving the farmer a profit
of only Az cents a bushel.
OF course some of the loss can be
credited up to ignorant marketing.
AS soon as the farmers wake up and
urn to the theory of cooperative
marketing on the terminal markets
they will find that grain raising is
much more profitable than now.
Conditions are not so bad in North
Dakota, but even here the grain grow
ers are realizing that there is not the
profit in wheat that there should be
when the investment, interest rates
and other factors are taken into con-
s~ideration.
The farmers, however, are aroused
and marketing conditions are being
studied now as never before. Within
the next few years the entire system
Of marketing farm products on the
great terminal markets will be chang
ed either voluntarily or through legis-
lation.

Cooperstown, the present county seat,
is located on the branch of the North

branch. In addition Hannaford also
is located On the Great Northern main

another direction. making all Of

At present Hannaford is the only
