EXCHANGE COMMENT

St. Cloud Times: Colonel Roose
welt is writing a series of articles for
the Outlook magazine upon the pres
ent European war. In his opening
chapters, he reiterates his former
arguments in favor Of strong army
and navy. He believes that this is the
way to secure peace. The conditions
in Europe do not bear out the Colonels
theory, for the very fact that Ger
many and other nations have been
preparing for the present gigantic
struggle for years, by the building of
battleships and the maintenance of
great armies, proves that their excel
lent preparation for war was what led
them to embark in the struggle. If
they had not been fitted to take up
arms, it is not at all likely that they
would have been very anxious to en-
gage in the great struggle.
Albert Lea Tribune: The State of
Minnesota still owns about two and a
half million acres of school land and
approximately one million acres of
this area is better suited for tree rails
ing than anythin eglse. If these lands
are sold they will bring the schools
about $5,O00,0OO, and that will end it.
We will have then lost our last oppor-
tunity to establish a forest reserve so
essential to the welfare of the state.
Next November every voter in Min
nesota will have an opportunity to ex-
ercise his rights on the subject for
it will be put to vote. If you vote
eyes" for constitutional amendment
No. 9, the State Forests Amendment,
you will be voting to reforest the bar
rem waste and for the preservation of
the lands not yet cut over. 1t is one
of the most important questions before
the people at the coming election.

THREE DEAD MEN
IN A ROW ONLY
MEMORY LEFT

LONDON, Oct. 1.-Three dead
men propped against we'll, gazing
with Mortified eyes at their wounds.
That is the one clear recollection that
Martin Lynch brought away from the
war.
Lynch. is driver in the royal field
artillery. He is now getting we'll in
the Waterloo hospital. After listen
ing to him his hearers appreciate the
frightful agony that is covered by this
single line in the story of yesterdays
battle:
"Wounded, one thousand"
81 don't rightly remember the three
or four days before I was hit" said
Lynch. eve had been on the go all
the time, day and night. Our horses
were worn out, although we had drawn
fresh ones twice. If we were not be-
ing attacked by the Germans at night
we were on the march. We never
rested while the horses were able to
go. 1t was rotten"
The men were unable to show light
at night because the enemy was all
around them.
Hunted Out With Searchlight.
This happened during the retreat of
the English army following the battle
at Mons. Sometimes the Germans
found them with the searchlights.
"Then they didn't 'alf pour it into
u.s." said he. my world"
But this seems not to have made
any impression upon him. The men
were deadened and Supplied by ia
tigue and lack Of sleep. Now and
then the guns would stick fast on
hill and the gunners would put their
should ers to the wheels.
"They didn't even cuss, they were
that done," said Lynch.
Three of the battery were hit at
the same time. Lynch escaped with
bullet through the thick part Of his
leg. Another had wound in the body.
The third man was killed outright.
He was on the gun carriage at the
time, and in the rigor of death his
hand clenched upon the rods.
1--WE didn't know he was dead until
we came to hill," said Lynch, "and
he didn't get off to do his share. One
of the men shook him, thinking he was
asleep, and the body rolled off in his
arms"
Didn't Want to Be Left.
On this hill Lynch discovered for the
first time that his leg had stiffened
and grown numb. He tied handker-
chief about the wound outside his
trousers as tightly as he could in or
der to stop the flow of blood. He
didn't want to be left behind. The
third man was put on the gun car
riage. He said he wasn't badly hurt.
"By and by" said Lynch, 81 got so
couldn't handle my team. So they
put me on the gun carriage, too. This
man next to me had been shot through
the bowels. l could hear him saying
something over and over as the gun
went on. But the noise was that Ugh
you couldn't make out what he said"
At last the driver pulled up to give
the exhausted horses a chance to
breathe. Then Lynch made out what
it was his elbow mate had been say
ing. Over ond over again under his
breath he was repeating these words:
"Christ! Christ Iesus!"

Don't fail to vote eyes" for this
amendment. =#

Gheen Record: This is seed potato
time, and every farmer who is anxious
to improve the quality and quantity
of his potatoes should select his seed
as he digs, from hill to hill. Not after
the crop has been harvested. Pick out
seed from hills giving large yield,
good size and shape, and free from
scab or other diseases. By doing this
you will increase the yield and quality
of your crop another year. The aver
age potato, yield in Minnesota is less
than 100 bushels to the acre. 1t might
as will be 200. Every Farmers Club
should boost for seed potato selection.
Fergus Falls Journal: The present
fall has been favorable for the COM
pletion of farm work. Threshing is
now we'll along toward completion,
while many farmers have already fin
|'ished blowing. The ground will not
freeze for about six weeks yet, and
during that time, it ought to be pos
sible to get every acre of land that
has ever been under cultivation plow-
ed, and to add very materially to the
cultivating area. The completion Of
blowing will mean a god start for next
season, and if the spring is at all ia
5orable, crops will go into the ground
early, and early sown grain is gener-
ally conceded to have a better chance
Of yielding we'll than late sown grain.
There is every incentive to SOW as
much land as possible next year, as
prices can scarcely fail to be high
next fall. Even if the European war
should end suddenly, which now seems
improbable, there is going to be a
shortage Of grain in Europe next sea-
;on, as millions Of men, who are or
dinarily engaged in sowing their win
er grain at this season of the year,
have this year been compelled to leave
i their homes and go to the battlefelds
20 stay and be slain. No matter what
happens, Europe's crops are going to
I')e short next year, and if the war
continues a full year, every country
over there will be on the verge of
starvation, and America will be al
most the only source of food supply.

When the subbatern in command of
the gun approached the wounded man
stifed his whispered prayer. But at
last the lurch Of the gun forced a cry
from him. The lieutenant heard him.
Sheltering a match in his cap, he
glanced specifically at the mans
hurt.
"Take Adams off the gun," he or
dered.
The sentence of death had been
passed. The lieutenant was pitiful, but
he had no option. A dying man was
mere weight. Adams made no protest
AS the men lifted him down Martin
Lynch, dazed by his own suffering and
loss Of blood, heard again that unceas-
ing murmur.
"Christ! Christ Jesus!"
They put Adams by the side Of the
road, where grinding wheels and clat-
tering hoofs would not strike him, and
rumbled on.
Feared It Was His Turn.
The hours passed. Lynch was by
this time sick from the reaction of his
wound. His hands seemed strength
less. But in some manner he managed
to hold to his seat. Now and then he
would awaken to fuller conscious
ness and look YEARLY for the light in
the sky. Somehow, it seemed to him
that if morning would only come
He did not know when the order was
given to unlimber and reply to the
German fire. He knew that he was
being pulled off the gun none too kind
~. He tried to resist, for it seemed
sentence had been passed upon him, as
on poor Adams. Some one swore at
him. Vaguely that relieved him. No
one swears at a dying man. He gave
himself to the hands that clutched at
him.
Crawls Away to Shelter.
The first round fired by his battery
aroused him. The shock of the next
discharge restored him to his senses.
He knew the battery would be tar
get for German shrapnel. By the light
Of the next shot he saw a littls hut
some distance away and crawled to it.
Once in the darkness he touched some
thing that stirred feebly and moaned.
Again he put his hand on a mans leg
land the man did not stir. So he got
to the hut. A light rain had begun to
fall. He was alternately fevered and
chilled. By pure chance he happened
on the tiny fireplace in the peasant
cottage. BY it was a slender stock of
twi gs-a bundle Of the sort one sees
in the backblocks of France and Bel
GUM, where firewood is incredibly
precious.
II had some wax Matches" said
Lynch. "Big ones. They was like
candle, almost"
Where Corpses CAPPED at Their
Wounds.
His wound was aching miserably,
but his head had been cleared by the
effort of creeping to safety. He man.
aged in the darkness to white silver
for finder, and heap a few twigs to-
gether, and set fire to them. Discovery
was no longer to be feared. He knew
that he must abandon hope of going
with his battery. When the order to
fall back came no one would worry
about wounded man. He had seen
the guns gallop off too often. So he
looked about him by the light of the
little flame.
*'There was three dead Germans
propped against the WALL" said Lynch.
"One had sort of fallen over sidewise,
but the other two had their legs spread
out to hol dem up. Each had been
shot through the body, and each was
looking down at the wounds. One had
torn open his shirt"
Their faces were quite peaceful"

CAMPAIGN AGAINST WAR.
~ R. John B. Murphy, the noted
Chicago surgeon, believes

Chicago surgeon, believes
that campaign of educa-
ton against war must begin in the
school room. In addressing the Chi
cago Association Of Commerce the
other day, DR.. Murphy asked "How
many Of you know who DR.. Carroll
is? Nobody answered because nobody
knew. "Well" said the speaker, CDR.
Carroll is the American who has saw
ed more lives than the Krupps can
kill in fifty years. DR.. Carroll dis
covered, after heroic labors, that
malarial infection is carried by mos
quitoes. He has done humanity a
great and lasting good. But his name
is almost unknown; yet the names of
Alexander and Napoleon, whose great
ness consisted in having killed thou
sands Of men, is taught to every
school child"

Rush on the Banks in
London Is Continued

London, Aug. 1.-The scenes wit
messed at the Bank of England yester-
day during the rush to obtain gold in
exchange for bank notes were re-
peated this morning but on a still
larger scale. A few people who had
been too late to get currency yester-
day afternoon spent the night in tie
vicinity of the bank and reached the
quadrangle at daybreak so as to be
first in line to-day.
Although some of the people were
a little restless as they wanted to get
their money so as to proceed to
try and seaside resorts for their usual
holiday at the beginning of August.
the first Monda- of which is a national
holiday, there vas nothing which
could be described even as excitement.
1t was noticeable that the line was
largely made up of clerks and includ-
ed many women who had received
their wages in notes and wanted to
change them into gold.
At holiday resorts notes are usual
refused and in fact in London restau-
rants and theaters notes are changed
at the best of times only for custom
ers and persons who are known per-
sonally so that those with pockets full
of paper money often find themselves
unable to buy anything.
