Follows It; Another Moves
Toward Warsaw.

London.-Immense forces of Rus
SLAMS are rapidly nearing the Ger
man frontier on a line of advance
$50 miles wide. London expects
within a week to hear of pitched
battle, as vast as that of the Aisne,
between 100000 Germans and Aus
TRANS who are concentrating on this
line to save the Kaiser's territory
from 100000 Russians.
Dispatches from Rome, Petrograd
and Amsterdam confirm previous in
timations that all attempts to hold
the Russians within Galicia and Po-
land until the combats in the West
are decided have failed, and that the
Germans, Withdrawing from Russian
territory, are mining with such
Austrian forces as have escaped cap
ture or disintegration in a final eff
fort to block the Russians from Prus-
STA and Silesia.
The Russian advance is double
movement A great army is moving
westward from Warsaw and the south
for the purpose of striking at Posen,
while another army, released from
Galicia by the collapse of Austrian
resistance, is cooperating by an ad-
vance against Cracow.
Belief that the direct Russian ad-
vance against Germany is rapidly
progressing is partially confirmed by
an announcement of the Breslau Ga
zette that the military authorities
there have cut all Geographic COM
munication between Breslau, Posen,
Oppeln and Liebnitz. This would in
dictate the approach of the Russian
armies. There were rumors that Cos
sacks have been seen a few miles
east of Breslau.

OSTEND SHELLED BY ZEPPELIN
BOMBS

Ostend, via London.-A Zeppelin
airship coming from the direction of
Thourout twelve miles southeast of
BRUCE, Belgium dropped three
bombs.
One struck the Avenue z De Smet
de Mayer bridge on the outskirts of
the town; another fell in the harbor,
and another on the premises of a
wholesale fish dealer, partly wrecking
the building.
The explosion here made a great
cavity in the ground and badly dam
aged all surrounding houses, extin-
guished street lamps, destroyed cleo
trio wires and created panic. The
Zeppelin returned toward Thielt,
twelve miles northeast of Courtrai.
From Ostend, as the crow flies, is
only about seventy miles across the
North Sea and the Strait of Dover to
the English coast.

Paris.-The Government report con-
tains the assurance that the Allies
fianking movement is vigorous in
spite of increased German resistance,
and that the severest fighting is now
with the bayonet. Germans and Al
lies have been struggling back and
forth over the same ground and the
loss of life is frightful, The Allies
centre holds, while the right strives
to clinch victory.

German right center in the region of

AUSTRIAN WOUNDED
CROWD INTO TRIESTE

Venice (via Paris .-According to
advices reaching here from Trieste
several thousand wounded have been
brought into that Austrian city in
the past three days. Many public
buildings, including theatres, are be-
ing converted into hospitals for them.
A majority of the wounded come
from Galicia, and they relate tales of
fearful haPdships. The Russians have
captured immense quantities of the
winter clothing for the Austrian
troop. The snow already has begun
to fall, and the troops in the field are
suffering from cold.

BIG GUN RANGE
BERLIN WAR OFFICE ISSUES
OPTIMISTIC REPORT AND SAYS
GERMANS HAVE MADE GREAT
GAINS AT THE CENTRE.
PARIS CONTENDS ALLIESHAVE
STEMMED FOES ONSLAUGHTS

While the censorship is
more strict than at any time since
the opening of hostilities, it is ex'
planned that there are certain evi,
dences, especially on the extreme
left, that the Germans are weakening.
The Allies have been heavily re-
enforced and are subjecting the forces
of Won Boehm and Won Kluck TO stern
pressure along the line from scissors
north to Mons.
In this connection report teie-
graphed from Ostend that Mons had
been set on fire, created sensation
here. 1t is at Mons that Gen. Won
Boehm established his headquarters
when he started south from Brussels
with the main army that was operat-
ing in Belgium 1t was also Won
Kluek's base of supplies.
Won Boehm's army was assigned
to prevent Won Kluck being outfiank-
ed by the French army, operating
from the northwest, where it had
been gathered to support a new Brit
ish force. 1t means that the British
French armies are in strong forces
and have raided the German com
munications far north of the point,
where up to the present any fighting
has been reported.
The prolongation of the tension on
The two long lines of fire and death
fronting each other on the Aisne has
become insupportable to the Germans,
since reports indicate that they have
changed their tactics and attacked
with the bayonet General Joffre has
succeeded in pushing his lines inside
the range of the deadly heavy German
guns forced the enemy to hand-to-hand
fighting
The losses of the last few days on
both sides are said to exceed all
other engagements of the war. Stories
have reached here from Belgium that
the Germans, unable to bury their
dead on the field, have shipped them
behind the army by trainloads in or
der to avoid epidemics.
Belgian troops have cut the Ger
man line of communication between
Mons and Brussels by blowing up
the railroad, according to an Ostend
report. Another Belgian force des-
troyed a troop and supply train near
Hasselt.
The official statement from the
British War Office is more laconic
than ever. 1t sums up the situation
in these brief words:
THE situation is satisfactory and
the counter attacks on the British
front have been beaten back with
eavy losses to the enemy"
New German troops have appeared
opposite the Allies left. Despite
these reinforcements the work Of
crushing the army of General Won
Kluck is proceeding. The losses of
the last three days are declared to
exceed those of any previous fight
ing since the war began.
The heaviest offensive movement of
the Germans has been against that
part of the battle line between Rheims
and Souain, where the Prussian
Guard, heavily reinforced, attempted
to break down the French resistance.
1t was driven back by counter at
tack by French infantry, supported
by Turcos. Later the attack succeed
ed. the French falling back some dis
lance, only to regain their lost ground
by a series of spectacular bayonet
charges.

and cotton the temperatures will rise

larly from Tune 8 to June 10 inclusive.
cvering from five to thirteen days.
Hot winds in the middle west are ex-
pected during that critical period,
probably from June 9 to Is, and these
hot winds are expected to damage
the coarn and oats crop.
The lei disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about June IA, crossing
the Pacific slope by the close Of the
18th, the great central valleys, 16 to
IS; eastern sections, 10. A warm wave
will cross the Pacific slope about June
10, great central valleys. Is; eastern
sections, II. Cool wave will cross Pa
cific slope about June 16; great CEN
trail valleys, IS, eastern sections, 20.
This storm wave covers another
critical period for cotton, northern
winter wheat and the middle central
valleys oats crops. Our calculations
are that up to the middle Of June Can
ada will get most of the rain on this
continent and that the spring wheat

covering Texas, Oklahoma. etc.. where
excessive rains fell in May, will be
dry during the first half Of June and

the east gulf states will continue dry
to the middle Of June.
This distribution Of rain would
leave the great corn growing sections
dry, also the middle sections Of the
best oats producing country and sug-
gests fair crop weather for Canada
spring wheat, bad crop weather for
for cotton. In the cotton states the
oats crop will be harvested by about
June 10.
From June Is to 23 showers are ex-
pected but they will probably bene-
fit Canada more than the United
States. Under average conditions we
would get fine rains from June Is
to rs, but the moisture necessary to
supply our transcontinental lows, en-
abling them to make rain, will be
principally on the east coasts of South
America, causing in Brazil, Argentina,
and Uruguay, heavy rains that will
damage that part Of their crop not
gathered.
Our danger signals will hang out
for the week centering on June 20
and all are warned that severe storms
abe probable during these sever days.
The absence Of moisture will lessen
the severity Of the storms during that
week in a general way, but a few To-
calities will get thunder storms, prob
ably hail or heavy rains. n lorna
does should be watched for.
An unusually low temperature In a
cool wave moving eastward is ex-
pected to reach meridian 90 near June
10 and the temperature will not miss
the frost line very far on the divi-
sion line between Canada and the
states. We shall have something to
say about July weather in next bulle-

TRAcERs.

O. what has become Of the old-fash-
toned boy.
Who didn't talk back to his pa?
And what has become of the girl
such a joy
Who didn't know lots more than
ma?
They have wandered away, they have
gone, hand in hand,
With those others who mounted the
skids,
Those old-fashioned parents who used
A little respect from their kids.
And where can that ~old-fashioned fell
low be found,
Wwho gave up his seat in the car?
Who, pausing to chat with a woman,
felt bound
To at once toss away his cigar?
He has gone, hand in hand, with the
old-fashioned maid
Who used to say Thanks" for the
seat;
Who thought cigarettes, for men, even
a shade
Indecent, not merely effete.
o, what has become Of the mar who
would treat
All women as / they had wings?
Who'd not take a girl to hear actors
repeat
The very improperest things?
He has gone, hand in hand, with the
maiden who sang
Such songs as went we'll with a lutte;
Who'd think songs suggestive and
teeming with slang
Just vulgar, not catchy and cute.
This jolly world moves in a lot o new
grooves
And brightly dawn many new days:
It's a good world, you bet, growing
better-and yet
There was sense in some old-fash-
toned wasy.
Now. If you had command Of the whole
blessed land
Where would you start to put on the
lids?
Can you think Of a better beginner,
offhand,
Than inspiring respect in the kids?

HOUR ON HIS RETURN FROM
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

The last chapel meeting Of the year
was a treat t. the Fargo college
students this morning.
Many had heard Of Melvin Hildreth,
one Of last years graduates. but they
enjoyed the opportunity of hearing
him talk this morning. His speeches
have always been features Of the Far
60 college chapel exercises, and 1t
seemed like old timesAto hear his we'll
known voice.
Mr.. Hildreth has just returned from
Columbia university, law school IN
New York City, where he is social
service secretary.
He told the students of h improve
ment noted on his arrival. and OF the
value Of work done in a small college,.
The description Of the social settle
ment work in New York was most
interesting. revealing conditions ex-
listing in the great melting pot" where
the speaker spends much OF his time.
Mr., HiIdreth gave Women's suffrage
a great boost, claiming that the
foreign women of New York are
much more wide awake and Intelligent
than is generally supposed.
In conclusion h speaker urged the
to stand by the college in the
period Of trials. and that they would
be proud in later years that they at
tended Fargo's college.
His talk was followed by hearty ap-
plause, and all joined in giving the
college yell, and singing the Alma

Saved Themselves,

Duluth New Tribune: Two young
girls were saved from the Empress
Of Ireland. One, 7 years old, fell
from the ship when it's listed. The
other, 10 years old, fell from her
fther's arms when he jumped into the
water.
The former swan to a piece Of
wreckage and chung to it until picked
up by a ~lifeboat. The other swan I'M
til she saw a boat and then hailed
it and swan to meet it. Neither was
frightened and the younger said she
did not feel that there was any cause
for fear or that she was in any dan
ger.
This is n picture, the other is that,
finitely sad, of Lawrence Irving and
his talented young wife who went to
their deaths clasped in each others
arms. Both wore life belts but she
was terrified; it vas the horror of the
sea; human helplessness in the water.
Mrs. Irving had neve learned to
swimn. To her the plunge meant GER
tain death by drowning. The two lit
tie girls swan from infancy. They
were entirely at home in the water. 1t
had no terrors for them; it held no
dread, nor n hidden danger. They
knew what to do and how to do 1t;
they had been taught to take care Of
themselves in just such an emergency.
1t Is a mighty sensible rule that
those who do not know how to swim
should stay out Of a boat, whether it
be a rowboat or a great ship. And
why not? In any emergency they
would quite surely drown n prob
ably would take some one else down
with them. But the better rule and
the more practical, is to teach every
child to swim, beginning in infancy.
