The Easter recess will be gwen during
Holy week. That is from Friday, April
3 to 10. This will permit all so inclined
to fill their church obligations and also
to rest from the routine of school for a
week SO that the last nine weeks of the
years session may not seem so arduous.
Next week beginning Monday March
% the state high school examinations
will be given for all pupils who entered
late in the fall. This gives such pupils
a chance to finish at least a semester's
half unit credit IN such subjects. Incl.
dentally it also allows those in arrears to
make up their deficiencies.
Yesterday. under the auspices of the

HOLUM'S APPEAL
Being DELAYED
Holum in Pen But Friends Raising
Money for Cost of Application
for New Trial

Application for a new trial for Matt
Holum of Milton, recently convicted OF
manslaughter in the first degree in con-
@nection with the killing of his wife, will
be made during the mex few weeks,
according to a statement by Attorney E..
II. Sinkler of Minot. Holum's lawyer,
made in Grand Forks last Saturday. No
steps have been taken as yet towards
perfecting Holum's appeal, according to
Mr.. Sinkler. Holum is practically with
out means but is making every effort to
raise sufficient funds to meet the ex-
penses of the further court proceedings.
The appeal will be taken on the grounds
that there was no evidence in the case to
justify a verdict of m~anslaughter, and
that the Judge erred on several of his
rulings. Holum is at present in the
state prison at Bismarck beginning to
serve the term of fifteen years to which
he was sentenced at the conclusion of
the trial in the district court here. Re-
ports from Milton state that Mrs. Holum
the mother of the defendant, has recov-
cred from the illness from which she
was suffering when she left Grand Forks
before the conclusion of her sons trial.
She has been informed of Holum's con-
viction and sentence and is aiding in the
efforts to raise funds to continue his
| battle for liberty.

Other portions of the county have
suffered much severe and unusual
weather this winter. Frosts clear down
to the Gulf, the Central states swept by
wind and snow and sleet, the Atlantic
coast ravaged half a dozen times during
the winter by fierce storms which have
taken their toll of lives and property.
Floods and gales along the Pacific, and
but recently the entire east was swept
by one of the ~tiercest storms IN years.
North Dakota has been very peculiarly
favored. Winter weather was entirely
absent until the middle of January.
Cold then set in, but, the temperature
dropped away down, there has been no
storm worthy o: the name, no badly
drifting snow, no discomfort. There has
not been a day during the entire winter
when people have not gone out of doors
about their regular business, without
the slightest discomfort. 1t has truly
been a great winter in this section.

Paris, Aug. 31.-'Fighting is in
progress all along the northern line
with the Germans plainly utilizing all
of their immense resources to break
the back of the allied defense. Our
position is now stronger than at any
time since the movement toward
Paris began. Our forces in Lorraine
continue to advance"
This was the only word of the fight
ing which came from official sources
today. Issued after noon, it showed
that the real attempt to open the
gateway to Paris is by demolishing
the French left wing which is sup
ported by the British forces.
Paris is all ready for siege. AS
the result of the conference between
General Galieni, the new military
commandant of the Paris district and
the minister of war, arrangements
for sending out of the city all not
entitled to remain have been COM
pleted.
1t is not expected that the allied
armies now opposing the Germans
will enter Paris. Rather they will
continue to retreat south, if their lines
are actually broken and remain an
extremely dangerous menace to the
German siege operations.

this afternoon by Premier Asquith.
The censor on the continent has
passed a number of stories, chief of
them one to the London Times, which
declared that only bits of the British
regiments were left after the sus-
tanned fighting of last week which
carried the British south from Mons,
Belgium, to point well south of st.
Quentin, France, retreat of more
than fifty miles.
This story of the losses was direct
ly contradicted by Earl Kitchener.
There was no news from the scene
of war. The German allegations that
they have cut the lines of communi-
cation from the channel with the
British forces in France is denied at
the war Office. 1t is stated there that
the road to the continent is open and
will be kept open" whether Paris
is besieged or not.
1t is accepted that the British COL
umns are again in action in France.
The general German advance from
the north was renewed at daybreak
today and there is no reason to doubt
that the British army, heavily rein
forced, is again in position on the
firing line.

French and Belgian allies is the news
that comes out of London. For days
these opposing nations have been bring

in two !long lines in northern Belgium
and on the French frontier.
That the advance guards are in con-

GUS engagements at various points,

Earl Kitchener, the British secretary
of state of war, has warned the British
press against the publication of news,
other than official, relating to naval
and military movements, infringement
of which order will mean suspension.
Italy is reported to have modified
about 100000 troops on the Swiss and
Austrian frontiers, as a precautionary
measure. All the passes over the Alps
are strongly held. AT the same time
the Italian foreign Office has summoned
home for conference on the war stu

Democratic leaders are depending on
President Wilson to make a series of
utterances in the Forthcoming cam

will issue an address to the country

influence in bringing business men to

Washington, August 10. Without
any formality except that of the church
and with all the simplicity which she
desired, the funeral of Mrs. Woodrow

2 clock this afternoon. For the day
official business was banished from the
executive mansion and Washington

for his dead. Immediately after the
services here the body was taken to

Wilson's parents.
Outside of the members of the Wilson
