ENGLISH LOCAL NEWSPAPERS


In looking over local newspaper pub
lished in the north of England Of lats
date, loaned us by friend, we note many
things curious to, American eyes. In a
general way the greatest difference is the
maater.of-fact tone that pervades every
department whether news in general,
local correspondence and even the ad-
vertisements. Very little if anything
humorous and nothing Of the gossipy,
personal style Of the American local
press appears. and there is an absence of
large type. THERE'S an immense amount
Of news from surrounding towns Of which
there appear to be many and Of large
size which this county would support
papers Of their own. Tho spelling a

natural opportunities of entering busi-
ness or trades. Want of capital will keep
the doors closed for several years on
European industry.
These discharged soldiers will natur.
ally be looking for some place to get
living and undoubtedly many viii! look to
this country in which to begin life.
At the close of our own civil war some
thing of this sort actually happened.
The thousands of young men who were
discharged from the armies of both north
and south began looking for openings
Fortunately for them and for the country,
the great middle states of the west were
open. Much of the land in Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan and
Wisconsin in the north and Texas and
other states lying to the west of the Mis-.
sissippi, was subject to homesteads and
as result large part of the popula-
ton of these states are to-day ex-soldiers
or children of ex.soldiers.
A fact incidental, is that the old SOL
diers still living in the west are of some
what younger average age than those
who live in the. east; the explanation be-
ing that while the older discharged SOL
dlers had homes in the east the
younger men found no place for them.
selves there. Besides the soldier life in
itself had severed them from the senri.
mental feeling that often keeps men il

Emerson Branch. r. G. MASTERTON. MGR

Thus after three days battle near Paris,
six days battle on ihe river Marne, and
twelve days battle on the Aisne, the Ger
man army stands at bay practically along
their own border, on the defensive. The
march to Paris therefore thus far has
been an inglorious failure.
Nothing but brilliant and decisive
VICTORY can now prevent the German
army from retreatIng to its fortified
stronghoIds in its own country, and the
events of the last week do not point tc
any such success as probable.
In east Prussia and Galicia, as usual.
the reports are very conflicting, but by
consulting the map it is seen that the
Russians are making considerable pro
gress in the latter province and holding
their own in the former. A strong for
tress, Jaroslau, in Galicia has been cap
tured by the Russians and they are now
invading Przemysl which IS the last
strong fortress in that direction before
going on to the city of Wanna.
The Servians and Montenegrins re-.
port progress towards the capital of
Bosnia. and victories over the Austrians.
In fact the Austrians seems to have suf-
fered defeat in almost every battle they
have tried during the whole war, and
the Germans who have sorely needed
their men in other places have found it
necessary to send the Austrlans help.
The deadly submarine has gotten some
work in in the North Sea, and three
large British war ships were sent to the
bottom and out Of crews numbering
about 1900 only 900 were saved.
1t looks as though the coming week
would bring some very decisive results
one way or the other between the armies
on the French border as it is hardly pos.
sible for such large bodies of men to
keep on fighting much longer without a
change in the battle lines.

confiscation might be according to the
rules of war, but there is no more right
or reason for detaining horse owned by
a citizen of the United States than there
would be to detain the owner himself
because Canada might possibly need
him to use as q soldier-and as an inter-
national question we believe it would be
settled in exactly the same manner.
Such alregulation is absurd as between
two nations which are at peace.
OF course where horses or other war
material have been in Canada for some
time as more or less permanent Cana.
dian assessable or taxable property, the
case is considerably different. Canada
has perfect right, even though it is
hard on the owners, to "self-preserva-
ton" in time of war. 1t it one of the
regular usages of war times for countries
to forbid the exports of goods which they
might later need. 1t is also common for
such countries 'o"commandeer' and take
by force, anything needed by the army
from the private owners,-provided the
owners are its own subjects. The per-
sonal property of temporary visitors
from other countries is rarely taken.
But, as we said, while war regulations
are often necessarily hardships, yet even
war regulations should be and can be
mixed with a little common sense,
A circular letter from the Canadian
railway freight managers also lists other
articles which may not now be shipped
out of Canada such as, arms of all kinds
and parts thereof projectiles, powder and
explosives, petroleum and it's products,
saddle, draught and pack animals, cer-
tain chemicals used IN making explo.
slves, military clothing, harness of a
military character, camp equipment. etc.

PROBABLE IMMIGRANTS.

Governor Hanna suggests that the
close of the European war will make a
great opportunity for North Dakota to
gather in a large number of European
immigrants. While at first thought this
might seem strange owing to the i'm.
mense waste of human life, and partic-
ularly the sort that makes good immi
grants yet there will be many survivors.
War will not only destroy human life
over there but will also destroy many
of the means of making livelihoods.
Farms will be desolated, factories will
be closed, trade in many forms will be
ruined.
Thousands OF young mon and boys nov
engaged in war, will miss the ordinar,
