Reports From Various Fields In

mans Will Again Attempt to
Reach English Channel

The campaign in France and Bel
gium, commonly regarded as the main
conflict of the European war, seemed
to-day to have entered. at least tenn
porarily, upon a new phase. For the
time being Germany has relinquished
the offensive. which she held so relent-
lessly during the earlier weeks of the
war. Official statements from Berlin
and Paris showed that the fighting,
which has been diminishing steadily III
severity for at least two weeks, has now
flattened out to a mere series of de-
tached skirmishes involving only small
numbers of men. 1t remained to be
seen whether this state of affairs was
the prelude to another German on
slaught, as London has been predict
ing. or whether it meant that Germany
had adopted new tactics which would
thrust upon the allies the burden of
the attack in an effort to drive out the
invaders.
Only Small engagements
The French statement said that in
the Argonne, where some of the most
spirited fighting has been in progress
recently, there were only small engage
ments yesterday. Ground was taken
by the Germans and retaken by the
allies. but the insignificant scale of
these operations, measured by the
magnitude of the war as whole, is
shown by the statement that fighting
involved no more than one battalion
and the disputed ground extended over
no more than twenty-five yards. The
German statement reports some prog
| ress in this region. At q few other

Some of the South American coun-

The presence of German fleet in
South American waters has held back
many British merchantmen, while
German steamers by the scores are

While none of the remedial pro-

U0.tg'
PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA.


Russia is the last country generally
associated with reform. 1t has been
classed as one of the most reaction
airy of the nations and least respons'
i've to popular clamor.
When it was announced that Rus
STA had instituted national prohibit
ton, the world was almost as startled
as when the news of war first flashed
over the wires.
That such an order was made ef.
fective so rapidly is due to the fact
that the sale and manufacture of
vodka, the chief Russian drink, is a
government monopoly. Strict super.
vision is exercised over the sale Of
other stimulants so that clapping the
lid GA Russia was comparatively an
easy task.
The industrial effect of prohibition
already is evident. Peasants are in
better physical condition. Their
homes are cleaner and contain more
comforts than when toll was paid to
John Barleycorn.
No reform is advancing with a sur
er step than prohibition. Each cleo.
ton sees a state or two in this ma
ton added to the dry

NORTH DAKOTA PROSPEROUS.

Local bankers who have returned
from the east recently all bring back
the same story. that North Dakota
is better off in the present crisis
than other states. The natural de-
preston owing to conditions in
Europe is felt more severely east
than west of the Mississippi river.
Over the middle northwest CONNER
cial conditions are better than any
where in the United States.
News dispatches from the Twin
Cities are treating as exceptional the
fact thq banks in western North Da-
kota are In he money market buying
commercial paper. The Minneapolis
journal terms this as a remarkable
situation, but it only reflects the pros
'perity of this section of the state.
Good crops and an active market, of
course, are the chief reasons why the
communities of North Dakota are
prosperous.

BAD TEETH A CAUSE OF CANCER

Constant irritation OF any part of
the body is now we'll recognized as
an important contributory cause of
One of the forms of irrita-
ton which has been repeatedly OBJ
served to result in this disease is the
constant friction of the sharp edges
of bad teeth or of imperfect plates
against the sides of the tongue. To
be sure, sores on the tongue caused
in this way do not always become
cancer. Neither are wounds from
toy pistols always followed by. lock
jaw. But there is danger in both
cases, and it is as easy to avoid it in
the one as in the other. A bad TOOTH
! should never be tolerated in any
event. and the danger of cancer is
only one more good reason for hay
ing it attended to. Cancer of the
tongue may occur at any age, but it
is most common between 20 and eo.
Statistics show very few cases under
thirty. The majority of these cases
occurred in females, while in later
years males we're found to be more
frequently attacked. Cancer of the
tongue in young subjects Is especial
ly fatal. Out of thirty cases there
were only two r%ecoveries. The 9TH
ers died within ten months or could
not be traced. AS one-third of all
the cases investigated have been
shown to be definitely associated with
jagged or decayed teeth OF imperfect
plates it would seem that here. al
least. is one method of preventing
cancer It is probable that other con.
ditions occurring in combination with
the bad teeth increase the likelihood
of cancer of the tongue as a result,
but the removal of this form of irri-
tation is so simple a matter tina.
deaths in cases of this kind must be
mostly charged to pure neglect
Where a sore place caused by a jag

someone left the sense out of censor.
WAR AND

From different reports on the
worlds bread crops it now looks as
if the importing countries will need
100000, 900 bushels of wheat this sea-
son. OF this about SIS, 000, 900 bush
els will so to different points in
Europe, fist can get there.
But wheat is conditional contra
band of war. The neutral shipper
has the right to ship his grain to any
warning country he chooses. but he
runs the risk of capture of his cargo,
in which CASE he can make no ap-
peal to the government at Washing
ton. This danger may deter ship
ments to Germany. but not to Eng.
land and France.
The Southern Continent has little
wheat for export, and the new crop
will not come on the market for near
" six months. The total acreage is
rather less than last year. Roumalia
usually furnishes a surplus of 10000
600 bushels a year, but this seasons
harvest is a disappointment. Russia
is a larger exporter and has a good
crop to sell.
But at present the Baltic and the
Dardanelles are bottled up. India
might furnish 10000, 900 bushels. But
at present the risk is greater than
the need. Unless a way is opened for
Russia and India to ship their wheat,
North America must be the source of
supplies until the Southern Contin.
ent comes into the market.
But the American farmer should
look further ahead than the crop he
is now marketing. Last year the
warning countries produced 1,7s0.0otA-
900 bushels of wheat, and a slightly
less quantity of rye. With the exceP
tion of about one-third of the Russian
wheat crop, this is all autumn sowr-
