Intention Of Kaiser's Troops Is
TO Make Determined Stand
at StrassbuTg.

Paris, Aug. 20.-The French I'D.
vance into Alsace-Lorraine continues.
A brief official statement confirms
the report that the Germans are fall
ing back upon Strassburg and that
French armies are operating north
from the Swiss frontier, having en-
tered Alsace near Belfort, south from
Nancy and east through all Of the
passes of the Vosges mountains.
The general staff says the German
retreat is in accordance with a pre-
arranged plan. It is said the Ger
mans have decided not to defend
Saarburg and will make their first
determined stand at Strassburg.
The German resistance is stubborn
and both sides are losing heavily.

DEATH OF Pope
SEEMS LIKELY

Paris, Aug. 20.-An official an
nouncement from Rome says the pope
has had sudden relapse.
A bulletin issued by DR.. Marchia.
fava leaves no doubt that the patient 8
life is in danger.
The sisters of the pope are con
vinced that momentous crisis has
arrived and they are deeply appre-
hensive. ..
They have lighted candles before
the miraculous image of st. Joseph
and, remain PROSTATE in prayer.
The correspondent at Rome of the
Havas agency telegraphs that the fol
lowing bulletin on the condition OF
the pope was issued:
"The pope has suffered for the past
four days from bronchial catarrh.
Ills condition is aggravated by an
extension of the bronchitis and he
has high fever.

1t is seen at glance that the acre.
age of corn in the state has grown
from less than 100000 in 1900 to
close to 100000 in 1914, and the in
creasing impetus is going to add large
ly to the acreage.
Larger Yields Possible
There is another thing also thas
will add to the acreage. This is the
fact that more-much more-corn can
be grown to the acre in Minnesota than
was supposed. While few years ago
the yield was much lower than To-Day
and fluctuated a great deal, it IS now
large, ranking with that Of the best
corn states, and is growing. More corn
to the acre means more dollars to the
acre. and more dollars will induce men
to grow more corn. Moreover, there Is
constantly increasing demand for
corn as silage, and for its immense
value in the crop rotation system
adapted to most Of the areas Of Min
nesota.
But it is worth while to note the av-
erage yields for recent years. Since
1908 it has not been below 80 bushels.
It is doubtful whether any other state
can show such record. And last year
the average to the acre was ~ ousn.
els, which was close to the top for the
whole list Of states, Wisconsin, with a
much smaller acreage, alone beng
higher.
Publicity Has Aided
The thing that has done this-in-
creased Minnesota's corn acreage so
fast and built up its average yield in
50 short a time-has been the propa-
ganda for more corn and for better
corn, the center of which has been the
College of Agriculture and the Expert.

nesota.
Remember seed corn week is com

WAR WILL Be LONG
AND LOSSES HEAVY

Paris, Aug. 20.-"Outpost combats,
however interesting and characters
tic, do not justify us in counting upon
the certainty of a prompt and definite
victory writes former Minister of
Foreign Affairs Stephen Pichon in
the Petit Journal.
II find too much said about the
Germans being demoralized. Their
original over confidence may give
place to doubts, but that is all. The
war now beginning is a war to the
death. On it hangs the existence of
Germany as well as that of France.
1t will be waged furiously on both
sides It will probably be long and
The losses enormous.

ABANDON BRUSSELS

Paris. Aug. 2o.-Widely circulated
reports that the Belgians have def.
nitely abandoned the defenses OF
Brussels are without official confirma.
ton.
It is stated in official circles, how.
eyer. that these reports might be true,
L was further Stated that there
never was any serious intention on
the part Of the Beagians to defend
Brussels. In fact the plan for the
general defense centered around Ant.

It was to be the center of the en-.
tire Belgian defense plans and it is
believed when the Belgian general

It would be only in accord with pre-,

There is clever lawyer in st. Paul,
smooth, gentlemanly in his ways, a fine
fellow to meet, who is the attorney for
the Brewers Association of this state.
This clever gentleman is engaged at
present in protecting the interests of
his clients, and part of his work is in
seeing that "friends'' are sent to the
Legislature from all parts of the state.
Now, if these -''friends'' went to the

reach the legislature, they are not only
friends of the lawyers clients, but
they are also friends of the steel trust,
the public utility and the railroad cor
porations, and every plundering inter
est which needs and can use friends in
the legislature. The clever lawyer
handles his hand picked crowd just like
"a general, and delivers them where it
will promote the interests Of his clients.
That is why it is . mighty unsafe thing

The Twin City press, and particular
ly the Journal, are strong for publicity,
yet within the last month those papers
deliberately suppressed the facts and
omitted names in regard to two big
items Of news, simply because the par
ties involved were either friends or
had powerful friends near to some of
the press. This is not strange as it is
done repeatedly. We question whether
the Minneapolis laboring man who got
intoxicated and was hauled into court
would receive the consideration shown
by the Journal to a member of the
Minneapolis Club and the Grain Ex-
change who happens to make an ex-
hibit Of himself.

Within two weeks of Abraham Lin
coins call for volunteers, 1000 men be.
longing to one German society in New
York enrolled, and thousands of men
came to the help Of the Union. With
out that help, at time when the Eng
ish government bitterly opposed the
cause Of the Union, the Civil war might
have ended differently. This should be
remembered as well as the help given
by the French in the re -olutionary
waf, and furnishes additional reason
why this country cannot afford to show
prejudice one way or the other.

THE BRYAN PEACE TREATIES

Springfield Republican: Secretary
Bryan's ls peace treaties, now ratified
by the senate with Incompatible ease,
are strongly indorsed by the editorial
in the July number of the American
journal of International Law. "Mr.
Bryan is to be congratulated it says,
"upon having secured the discussion OF
all disputes between the contracting
parties not otherwise provided for, by
the apparently simple yet effective de-
vice of an investigation and report,
which is believed to be tantamount to
settlement
These treaties represent solid
achievement, and they are the more
valuable because they are so simple in
their purpose. The most acrimoniously
criticised secretary of state in many
years, Mr.. Bryan has now done some
thing that will make his tenure Of Of
fee memorable in the future. For the
normal condition Of nations is peace,
not war, and when Europe again set
ties down to peaceful pursuits these
treaties will be recognized as possess
ing real value in the maintenance Of
amicable international relations.

-~- w. s. Hammond
for Governor
Regardless of Politics
His Home City, County and
District are for him

The plan adopted by these business
men not only will give wide publicity
'. to MI. Hammond 8 candidacy for gov
ernor. but will show to those outside
that his home city, county and district
are solidly for him.
This is but a new evidence of Mr..
Hammond popularity in the district
where he is best known. Evidence Of
his standing there had previously been
furnished by the fact that he was four
, times elected to congress in a district
. otherwise strongly republican and that
at the recent primaries he carried ev.
cry one of the eleven counties in the
; old second district, carrying Watonwan
! county nearly ten to one and the dis
| trict by 1925 to 704. q /
Congressman Hammond 8 continued
stay at Washington, attending to his
official duties despite the fact that
he has campaign on his hands, has
won him much favorable comment.
This, too, in the face of the fact that
putting in every minute Of the time

votes. With those who look upon a
political job as private snap Con.
gressman Hammond 8 conscientious at
tention to his official duties probably
!; does not appeal, but just the same
the second district man is realizing as
"a result. At the state capitol the gen.
eral belief is that the next governor Of
Minnesota will have to be on the job,
and Mr.. Hammond fills the bill in this
respect better than any one else they
knew Of.

The old protective tariff bugaboo,
which was the burden of every repub-
lican campaign in days gone by, is now
a thing Of the past. Republican papers
throughout the state no longer give it
a place in their columns, and as re-

! having hard time to find substitute.
This is especially true of those Sec
tions Of the state where in times past
tariff agitation always brought forth.

any one attempting to change the old

bulwarks Of the old protective theory
