THE WAR

French authorities admit German
successes in the first great battle of
the war. but maintain that as yet no
permanent advantages has been
gained and that the object fran the
start of the war nave been to hold
the German army In Belgium while
the Russians pounded away at the
other side of the German nation.
The latter Russia seems to be doing
with gond grave. A million Rus
sian soldiers are said to be well
within the German frontier and
have been driving the Germans be-
fore them even faster than have the
German driven the Allies. Russians
have penetrated Austria many miles
and Austrian troops pressing on
Servia have been withdrawn for
home protection. The Serbs seem
to nave the best of the argument up
to date.
The Belgian army, which bore the
brunt Of the German attack for two
weeks, has turned the task over to
the French and English while the
Belgians have retired within their
projections at Antwerp.
1t would appear that the German
invasion has been pressed forward
at all odds. witha terrible loss of
life. That they are not gaining
ground as speedily as they should is
also probable. Further, they ap-
pear to he taking great chances in
their advance. Namur and Liege
are still in their rear. and Antwerp
still holds the flower Of the Belgian
army. Solong as defeat does not
check the kaiser's onward march, he
may be able TO protect his rear.
i Should the main army suffer route
at any time and need to fall back
speedily. then the danger would be
most serious. The Belgians pouring
out of Antwerp on such an army
and the forts at Liege and Namur
doing execution. the German forces
would have little chance to recover.
4 Aboyaall. however, the Germans
must make speed. France must be
Esubdued and that quickly. Elise

About 4:30 Sunday morning the
dog belonging to Cashier H. B. Zenl;

ened Postmaster Albert Zenk to dis
cover flames in the lumber yard. He
sounded an alarm and soon the peo.
pie of the town were fighting for
their property. The fire spread

The block that burned is on the
south side of Main street and rum
ming to the cross street which is be-
tween the bank and the drug store.
How the fire started is mystery.
1t is presumed, however, that
tramps sleeping in the lumber yard
are responsible. The Office of the
Welles-Thompson people was saved
as the wind was blowing from the
east. However. it was impossible
TO check the flames until the cross
street was reached. All efforts
were centered on stopping it there,
while the owners Of the burned
buildings worked like beavers to re-
move their goods and fixtures. Had
it not been for the dog giving the
alarm the fire might have secured
sufficient start to sweep the entire
town.
Only one of the places burned,
that of the lumber company. had
any insurance whatever.

MENTAL ACTIVITY

Duns eth, N. D., April mental
diversion-that is what is needed in
the state tuberculosis sazitarium at
Dunseith, according to DR.. F. ].
Pierce, who returned after spending
four weeks as superintendent Of the
institution in the absence OF DR.. La
mount. The state hospital is doing a
wonderful work in battling the white
plague. according to the doctor. The
location is ideal. The car of the
patients is fine. But the problem OF
mentaN diversion is one that is
worthy of the consideration of the
public. Something to- occupy the mind
of the patients besides eat, sleep and
rest, While it might seem i7signin
cant, is the real problem which con
fronts the superintendent Of such an
institution. Keeping the patients in
ia optimistic mood and happy is an
art in Itself.
Thirty-six patients are now being
treated in the sanitarium. Fresh air
in unlimited quality, plenty Of food
and rest-these are the implements
missed |in battling tuberculosis. Pa
tens physically able are allowed to
play out of door games not too vic
leat.
During the time DR.. Pierce Was in
charge of the sanitarium, DR.. Lamont
and wife toured the country visiting
like institutions with the view Of Sc
curing new ideas in fighting tuber-
culosis.
