II o. DON, July 26.-The envelop-
IL ment Of Warsaw from the North
continues, says Berlin, Although the
defenses directly in 'front.' OF Warsaw
to the west seem to be holding, the Ger
man left wing is sweeping down from
the North on the Russian line Of com
munications to the rear, and unless this
advance is checked, Warsaw must
either be evacuated or the troops de-
Tending it will be surrounded and cut
off.
Advancing from the fallen Fortress
of PrzasnysZ' in a southeasteTly direc-
ton, Field Marshal Won Mackensen
reports that his army has broken tie
Russian front between the fortress OF
Ostrolenka and Pultsk and has crosse"
the Narew river on a line thirtyfve
miles long. rr..
Hammered On All Sides
The general Russian position around
Warsaw may be described as huge
salient, the vertex of which Is the linz

at the base. Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen is battering at the northern size
and Won Linsingen and the Archdu%r
Ferdinand of Austria are hammeTinS
at the southern side.
Southeast of the fortress of Pultsk,
the Germans are making steady prog
ress in the direction Of the RiveH Bug,
along which it is probable that the
Russians will offer their most desper-
ate resistance. If they are beatp
there, and the Germans cross the river,
it hardly seems possible that Russia
can hold Warsaw.
Main Railway Objective
, Parallel with the Bug and twelve
miles southeast of it runs the main lin"
of. railway from Warsaw to PetrOgrad
The advance Of the Germans indicates
that, this is their objective. If they
force the Bug, they will attain it, and
in that case, although there are other
railroads leading into Warsaw, tn"

: CLASSIC

One II te classic thlniers of the present administration is now
before tbe court Of customs appeals, and a decision is looked for at
an early date.
Tie court is expected to interpret the meaning of the provision
in the Underwood tariff bill proposing to give q five per cent disc
cunt in customs duties on merchandise imported in American yes
sells. Thus Ear that clause has failed in its purpose, Just as the
tariff measure of which it is a part failed to provide adequate rev.
enuc.
Enacted October 10, 19l3it failed on its first test, and that test
applied too. by the then attorney general less than thirty days af-
ter the bin was signed.
No sooner had the tariff bill been presented to the secretary Of
the treasury Tor administration than y doubt arose in his mind as
TO the validity of the five per cent discount provision. He ap-
peaed for advice to attorney general McEeynolds, who is now on
the supreme bench. The provision was pronounced imperative.
The i've per cent discount to American vessels cannot
be given is the language of the attorney general quoted by the
secretary. without inparng the stipulation of existing treaties
between the United States and various other powers, and conse-
quent1T the subsection is imperative"
Acting on this opinion the secretary issued an order to customs
collectors, instructig them to make no allowance of discount on
duties under this provision.
Importers who had relied on the law appealed to the board Of
general appraisers. Their ruling resulted in further confusion, and
neither side being satisfied, the case was taken to the court OF Gus
toms appeals, more than a year after the law had passed.
The Democratic committee report on the five per cent provision
defined it as "a discrimination in favor of American shipping, de-
signed to build I'D our merchant marine and keep at home millions
Of dollars now being paid to foreign vessels to carry our products
to foreign markets.
Yet although they fully realized the tremendous Importance
of this measure, which they said involved millions of dollars, they
lacked the foresight to consult their own attorney general as to the
possibility of enacting it into law. They had a vague idea OF what
they wanted, adopted a vague method of trying to secure it, and
by careful guess work threw the whole matter into the courts.

E POSSIBILITIES.

The following letter received by Commissioner Flint of the de-
partnent of agriculture, from H. j. johnson, one of Dickey coun-
tvs Leading agriculturist.s, is a sp!endide. argument from a thor
oughly practical man in favor of Investigation in farming and the
advantages of the live stock industry in North Dakota. Read it
and be convinced that nowhere in the Union can better opportuni-
ties be found for the intelligent and willing worker than within
this state where we live.
Thave lived in North Dakota more or less for the past rs years
20 or rs years ago I felt very much the same as the majority of
the farmers in this section Of the country. I thought wheat was
the only thing there was any money in. changed my mind a few
years later in regard to this and commenced raising other crops,
such as barley, corn and alfalfa, and never sowed wheat except on
commenced a system of rotation and I found that nearly every
year had a good crop of the different kinds of grain that l put in.
I find that it pays to use the best kind of seed. A few years
ago I purchased a carload Of seed oats, the best I could buy, paying
about IS cents a bushel for them. The first year l raised " bush
els per acre by machine measure, the next year IS bushels per
acre and the third year 81 bushels per acre. The oats were raised
believe that if the seed could be changed often the yields woul be
much larger.
"The last five or six years I have been raising alfalfa success
fully. I have raised alfalfa on inoculated soil and have raised it
on soil that was not inoculated, and find that it does well in either
instance. have raised it with a nurse crop and without a nurse

crop, seemingly equally successful.
~ now hayeS IS acres Of fine alfalfa and expect to SOW about SO
acres more this season. I find that it is excellent feed for hogs,
horses and cattle. 1raised nearly five tons Ito the acre) of alfalfa
last season in three cuttings and left a very nice stand to go into
have from 40 to 100 acres Of alfalfa on his farm.
Just as soon as the farmer turns his attention to the raising
times a good full blood sire, and cuts his wheat acreage down: to
his way. And to the farmer owning his own land l wish to say
this: In a number of places in South Dakota land sold eight or
ten years ago at from $4,000 to $4,000 per acre, and that same
land is now selling at from 500 to $3.50 per acre. I fully believe
that the man who will hold onto his land for eight or ten years
will see the same thing happen here.
II was a great believer in North Dakota and its possibilities
rs years ago when a great number were selling out and getting out
of the country, and 1 believe now that the possibilities of North
Dakota are greater than any other state in the Union. My advice
to the farmer would be to stick to his land. Plant some alfalfa,
get good horses, a better grade of cattle and hogs, use better seed
and success will follow" -.

ARE YOU HELPING?

The Chautauqua Directors are up against a thoroughly practical
proposition. They want the community to hear the best and big
gest things to be had. The taste of Chautauquans grows more
and more exactng-the people demand bigger and better pro;
grams each year and the management study these conditions and
really meet them. They have learned how to spend the available
funds so they have the most and the right things, yet it must be
borne in mind that these contracts are personal obligations and
must be met no matter how the weather is, or what happens.
Stand behind the committee by doing your part to boost the Chau-
tauqua. Urge on your neghbors to join you by doing their share.
Help the officers do whatever is to be done: Help get the season
about the program; Talk it and urge everybody to prepare for it
and enjoy itand then you will be helping make the Chautauqua
far bigger and better than ever. That kind of supporters will do
it, and there is no end to its possibilities. More helpers means
money can buy.

WHAT THE FLAG MEANS.

\ sociaGst orator was making a speech on d street corner on
Washington Heights, in New York City.
"Whats the flag. myhow?' he sneered. 1T is the symbol of
exploitation. It is a mask that our masters use to cover up their
cruelty. Patriotism is a delusion. The capitalists and their min
ions aant the Red, White and Blue as a trick to make us do their
work and fight their battles. "Tell me" he demanded, what does
the American flag mean to Il man like me-"
1T means spoke up a quiet voice from the curbing, "that you
can stand there and say what you are saying without interference.
There are lust two countries in the world with so much personal
freedom that a man may stand up in public and denounce his coun-
try's flag. They are the United States and Great Britain. Just
now, though, it would be a mighty unhealthy thing for you to try
it in England. II they didn't chuck YOU into Jail a mob would wipe
the pavement with you. So this is the only nation on earth, at
this moment. where YOU can get away with that line Of talk.We
Americans, are d tolerant lot. The flag stands for tolerance.
Now, 90 aheadE'
The orator shifted shunefuIy to another topic, and his audience
melted away.

He appears to us to be a disgluntled office seeker, who was defeat
ed for governor, and now he is trying to embarress the man whom
the people had confidence in. We do not believe that Hellstrom
is doing this for any good cause, but is only one of the henchmen
of a political ring, who are after Hanna. Will Mr.. Helstrom ex-
plain who is paying for all of this. Is he such a public benefactor
that he is spending his own good money, or is he the advance
agent of the Democratic machine, who are willing to go to any
extreme. Mr.. Hanna has no cause for fear so long as he abs men
of the IIellstrom caibre after him.

EUROPE AND REPUTATION.

Theodore H. Price, the economist, startled the business world
not long ago by predicting that at the end of the wal, far from
there being notable depression, unprecedented prosperity will
key, as to the possibility that Europe will repudiate her war debt:
that he believes the thing not impossible. But what is of especial
interest, MI. Price regards such denodnent as not without its com.
pensations. He says on this point:
Nonpaynent Of a national debt simply means that a certain por-.
ton of the worlds population is freed from the compulson of be-
ing made to turn over part of it's earnings to another portion, who
are thereby enabled to live with less effort. In this view of the
matter default would not be an unmixed evil. The result would
probably be higher wages for the working classes and increased
cost of production in Europe, so that America would have less to
fear from the competition Of transatlantic industry.
This theory has all the charm Of novelty; but the suggestion
that the European governments may ultimately repudiate their
war debts will alarm their statesmen and fnanceIs, who want to
borrow more, and send cold cnins down the backs of those in this
ever, one chance in a hundred that the nations Of Europe will re-
ipudiate. To do so would be most disasterous to their national
credit and their whole financial fabric, and they are too wise, if
they We're not too honest, to pursue any such course.

besides idle talk in this case. as no national bank would be foolish
enough to start such proceedings unless there is some ground for
them.

HDGE MAHER RENDERS
DECISION.

Judge Thomas F. Maher of the
Second City Court, has decided the
suit of Frank X. Kass, versus George
l.. Kicks for 500 damages for COW
impounded by Kicks. The judg-
ment is in favor of the defendant for
$500 for damages and costs of ad-
vertising, being a unconventional de-
mand.
Although this suit is for small
amount, there is a precedent in
volved that may prove far reaching.
The case will be appealed to the
Court of Appeal and should the opin-
ion of Judge Maher De sustained, the
relative rights of the truck farmers
will be protected as regards roaming
cattle within the prohibited limits of
the city.
Kass is a McDonoghville dairyman,
while Kicks is engaged in truck
farming in Algiers. The latter cap
tured a COW belonging to the former
as it grazed on his farm. Kass de-
manded the return of the COW, then
went into court, claiming 800 dam
ages and 50 for milk extracted from
the COW. Kicks says he drew the
milk for humanity's sake and offered
to turn it over to the court officer
who seized the animal.
/ Judge Maher stated that he otter
heard the expression back to the
farm" and, as he understands the
law, the cultivator of the ground
when his place is enclosed. ought tC
be entitled to recover for damages II
his crop from roaming cattle, wheth
er a fence jumper or breaker. HI
considers that the defendant, Kicks
acted with prudence and humanity
in order to protect his legal rights
and for those reasons decided thu
case in Kicks favor.
