Decision by Judge Elliott viii Have
Wide Influence in Homestead
Country.

Sioux Falls, July S.-No decision
of greater Importance in its relation
to homestead properties OF the west
has been handed down in the United
States district court during recent
years than the ten pages of the opin-
ion filed by Judge James ID. Elliott of
the federal court here in favor of the
United States against Carl Pitan of
Oacoma, Lyman county, charged with
conspiracy i'm the fraudulent entry of
homestead property. The case is of
great Importance throughout the
west, as many thousands of similar
cases are believed to exist where the
government has been powerless to Sc
cure redress against fraudulent pat
entees or where innocent purchasers
have acquired land from them.
In the action brought by the gov
eminent against Carl Pitan, Pitan
and a woman named Bertha Henry
we're alleged in the complaint to have
c~onspired about May 10, 1902 to
make a fraudulent homestead entry.
The defendant, Bertha Henry, admit
ted having taken up a homestead un-
der agreement with Pitan to convey
to him when she obtained title.
After the patent was secured. the
Henry woman conveyed the property
to Pitan, a large land owner in Ly-
man county.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPLIED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, July Special: Re-
newal of activity by the British along
their front in Flanders, resulting in
the gain of German trenches north of
Ypres; stubborn resistance by the
Russian troops against the Austro-
Germans onslaught in the eastern
zone, and the strong pressure of the
Austrians in southern Poland, which,
Vienna claims. is pushing the Rus
slams northward, are the outstanding
features in the war reports of today.
In Flanders the British have car
ried about 200 yards of German
trenches, the French ~attributing the
success to the artillery. Field Mar
shall Sir John French, who reports
this advance, says intermittent ar
tillery duels of late have been mark
ed by the employment of gas shells
by the Germans.
The Teutonic drive northward
from the Galician border on the
front between the Vistula and the
river Bug brought the Austrians to a
port near Tarnogora, east of Kra-
snik, and some forty miles northeast
of Tarnogorod. Under the pressure
of the Austrian advance the Rus
slams are retiring beyond Tarnogora
along the Vieprz river, according to
the Austrian official statement, but
the Russian war office asserts that
the Austrian offensive to the east of
Krasnik has been stopped by a blow
delivered by the Russians on the
Austrian flank, resulting in heavy
losses.
There has been desperate fighting
in the territory to the north of Kra-
snik and apparently the Russians are
strengthening their power of resist
ance by reinforcements of men and
munitions.
In the Italio-Austrian campaign
the fighting i'm the Gorilla district
developed into a general battle when
an attack was made by the third
Italian army. The Italians advanced
under the protection of a fierce artil-
lery fire. but, according to an Aus
trian official statement. the attacking
forces were repulsed.
The latest achievements of the
Italian air service is the dropping oil
bombs on a factory at Triest. The
extent of the damage done has not
been as~certained. Triest has the
most important arms factory in the
Austro-Hungarian empire.
The British government has decid
ed to take over the control of the
sale and supply OF intoxicating liquor
in many districts where war materia
is being handled. This is made pos
sible under the powers conferred b!
the defenders of the realm act.

EXAMINES BRITISH EN-
 TRANCE IN WAR

Dr. Walter Schucking has published in the Berliner Tageblatt an interesting ex- animation of the reasons for England's entrance in the war.
 He began by refuting the popular idea that England's action had been dictated by economic jealousy. It was true, he admitted, that the economic competition be- tween England and Germany had created a feeling which rendered possible a war be. tween the two; but it could not be said on the whole that capitaliStic considerations had led the former to declare war, for they had no right to credit her with such fool iShness.
 All that Norman Angell had written concerning eco- homie interdependence, Pro- lessor Schucking pointed out had been confirmed during the present war, and he not ed that Die Grenzboten had recently referred to the fact that the destruction of Ger man prosperity would also signify an economic catastro- phe for England. It is there fore highly desirable, he con- tinued, that people in Ger many should abandon the er- roneouS view that England's main object Tn the war vas their opponents economic ruin, view which, fortun- ately, is obstinately contested in the Prussian Jahrbucher.
 There were two reasons, he considered, why that view had so generally obtained. The first was the way in which England's conduct of the war had been directed to- ward striking at Germany economically. And here he insisted that a distinction should be made between the tendency of the war and the methods employed in con- ducting it; the second was the failure of the majority of Germans throughout the

ception of things may really count as valid at the present time. Ever since the middle 'of the last century we pro- tfessors of international law
 have endeavored to show the world that the relations of states to one another must be adjusted from quite a new standpoint, in accordance, namely, with the recognition Iof international solidarity of interests, recognition which, Fin the economic realm, long ago led to the formation of the cartel and the trust.
 Sir Edward Grey, the big writer continued, appears not to have remained alto gether untouched by this new conception; during the critical days before the dec laration of war he addressed Ia highly memorable note to the imperial chancellor, in which he intimated his de- sire, if the existing crisis were safely passed, to come forward with altogether new proposals, which he himself had formerly regarded as utopian, and which were cal culated to put an end to the permanent diplomatic con- flict of the European system of alliances. That, Dr. Schucking exclaimed, is a clear recognition of the ideas
 of international modernism, which takes the form of or ganized pacificism.
 It was, unfortunately, the traditional policy of the bal ance of power which finally triumphed, the professor pro- 'ceeded, but he hoped that the present war would cause it to be generally recognized that that conception must henceforth be renounced, and replaced by the recogni- tion of the international sol idarity of interests.
 The old idea had served, it was true, to maintain the in-
 dependence of national life against the efforts of the old Hapsburgs and Bourbons to revive the mediaeval idea of universal monarchy, but at best it was somewhat nega- tive, and was no longer we'll

reason for EnglandS inter- vention.
 Apart from the question oE Belgium, which in his opin- ion ought not to be over-esti- mated, Dr. Schucking re- garded the reason as being one of a political nature; i'll other words, the war on the English side was a struggle for the balance of power, in the sense that that phrase was understood in England.
 England fears, he wrote, and not without reason, that Germany would succeed in Teomplete subjugation of France and Russia, and that she would thus acquire on the continent a position Simi- lar to that of England on the seas. In order, therefore, that England might not find herself faced with a rival on an equal footing with herself, she decided that the balance Iof power in Europe must be upheld. Hence her partici- patton in the war had it's ori- gin, not in economic tenden- cieS, but in an antiquated cabinet policy, in the concep- sion of a European balance Iof power which has been a tradition with cabinets for the past 400 years.
 Professor Schuking then proceeded to show that corr ception had originated with the Medicis, who regarded it as the necessary basis of Ital- ian politics, and how it had gradually come to be adopt led as the determining factor lin the relations of European countries to one another. By the time of Henry VIII of England, he pointed out, it was already the underlying motive of that monarch's re- lations with Francis | of France, and with the Emper- or Karl V, and it received the fullest recognition in the Utrecht treaty of 1713, which closed the war of the Spanish succession. In the nineteenth century the opposite idea of the right of the nation to form an individual state by virtue of a unity of customs, speech and law began to dawn. but the origin of the
