mans have more than held their owl
against superior numbers. They have
delivered counter attacks for every
offensive developed by the enemy, and
in the minor exchanges that have oc-
CURED since the siege of trenches be-
gan, the Germans have fully held
their own. The most satisfactory OF
all these encounters to the Germans
was the recent battle north and east
of Ypres, at which the English were
forced to give ground and were put
on the defensive. This engagement
followed soon after the date fixed by
Lord Kitchener as the long promised
English offensive to begin-May 1.
The Germans believe this second bat
tie of Ypres has done more to confuse
the English and create discomfort
among them than any other event IF
the war. BY every law of warfare
the British ought greatly to have out
numbered the Germans, and yet the
latter were able to drive the enemy
back almost at will. Ypres itself
was saved to the English by little
more than an accident. The British
newspapers were preparing the pub
Vic for it's evacuation when more
pressing interests demanded the at
tention of the Germans elsewhere.
But One Continental Defeat.
The loss of the western border of
Alsace to the French is the only con-
tinental defeat the Germans must
acknowledge at the close of the first
year of the war. The sentimental
Importance to the French of seizing
part of Alsatian territory far out
weighs the military value to Ger
many Of driving the French across
the Vosges. At present the French
hold little more than the foothills
of the Vosges. This they have been
able to hold because the Alsatian
troops of the Vosges are so precipi-
tous that troops coming down hill
have an immense advantage over
those trying to go uphill. But if
the war goes far into its second year
and if the eastern situation permits,
the French will have to climb back
again.

If you own an automobile come

If you don't, get into somebody's car,
because everybody who can arrange

little overheard conversation about
this auto trip. Listen to it:
Suppose you're going to Bagleys
with the Chautauqua boosters ?''
+ '''No, guess not; no one has asked
me to CO."
"Well, isn't every car owner in-s
vited?" .~z
II suppose so, but If they're get
ting up bunch without asking me-:
let 'em go ahead"
This conversation prompted fur.
ther investigation and it was found
that no special Invitations had been
issued, but a general invitation given
to all who cared to go. If you are a.
car owner, don't wait to be asked.
Be a booster yourself and get into.

just as soon as a bridge, which is
now under construction, over the
Rapid River, on Judicial Ditch No
13, it will be possible to go from Be.
midi to the Canadian border by auto.
mobile.
E. J. Bourgeois, County Commits
sioner Clementson and Oscar L. Dent
ditch referee, have just completed a
trip of inspection over the route and
are much pleased over conditions as
they found them. With Commission

son and Engineer William Everts and
several contractors, they drove by
automobile to place II miles north
of Red Lake, making the remainder
of this distance by walking and by
team.

the routes of the bitches are in ex.

The worlds motorcycle record for

TO NAME PETTY OFFICERS
Members of Bemidji Naval Militia
Will Be Examined, Promotions
Going to Those With High Grade
35 TO GO ON TEN-DAY CRUISE

With but two weeks intervening
before examinations are to be held
for the purpose of ascertaining just
what men are entitled to promotion,
members of Bemidji division of the
|state naval militia have doubled their
efforts at drill, nearly everyone being
anxious to obtain a place among the
petty officers.
The Bemidji commissioned officers
will in all probability have charge OF
the examinations, which all enlisted
men will be required to take, but
they may be assisted by several Off
GERS Of the Duluth division.
Duluth officers appear to take a
great deal of interest in the Bemidji
DIVISION" said Whitney Brown, one
of the local reserves who accompa-
MED the Duluth divisions on a Lake
Superior cruise Sunday. "They all
expect that Bemidji will have a ban
ner division and are anxious to as
sist in every way possible, several
Of them saying that they would like
to come. here. They like Bemidji as
Ia city and they have nothing but
praise for the boys who comprise the
division"
Those who receive the highest
marks as consequence of the ex-
aminations will be given preference
when the petty officers are named.
Ensign William Mcdonald, who
is largely responsible for the splen-
did progress made by the Bemidji re-
serves since the muster-in, said to-
day: that no. less than IS will par
ticipate in the ten-day cruise which
lis to be taken on the training ship
Gopher next month. All expenses
for the cruise are paid by the gov.
ernment.
The uniforms of the commissioned
officers have been received by Schnei
der Brothers. Each officer has two
uniforms, one the blue service uni
form and the other is linen. The
other uniforms are expected to ar
rive within the course of a few days
Boats for the lake work have beer
ordered and they will arrive soon.

LACK OF: TROOPS
HALTSOPERATIONS
AGAINST WARSAW
Need for Reinforcements Causes I'm.
portant Change in German Cam
paign-Resistance Strong. "
LEMBERG LESSON IS REPEATED
Germans Had Expected Victory Be-
fore This and Undertaking Now
Appears Too Mighty.

New York, July 20.-The need of
reinforcements to press home the op-
Grafton against Warsaw is causing an
important change in the German cam
paign in the Baltic provinces. In
stead of continuing to advance along
the Baltic coast, the Germans are
moving into the interior and are re-
tracing the direction of their original
advance, in order to attack the chief
Warsaw supply line that runs from
Petrograd.
Have Strong Resistance.
This curtailment of the Baltic op-
erations has been made necessary by
the strong resistance the Russians are
developing about Warsaw The Ger
mans are discovering again, as they
found after the division of their
forces at Lemberg, that it is not yet
wise to develop too many offensives
against the Slavs. The Baltic cam
paign was intended originally to
confuse the Russians and create a
diversion favorable to the main Ger
man offensive against Warsaw. The
effect, however, has been primarily to
weaken the German assaults in Po-
land.
Expected Warsaw to Fall.
There can be little doubt but that
the Germans expected Warsaw to fall
before this and in particular expect
ed Marshal Won Mackensen to make
better progress than he has been able
to do. The ambitious project OF
overwhelming the entire Russian field
force as we'll as capturing the Polish
capitol is now appearing to be too
mighty an undertaking even for the
Germans to accomplish. Warsaw
may fall but there is no evidence that
the Slavs will be annihilated. I'm
questionably the Russian defense
power was underestimated at Berlin
after the success of ,1the Galician
drive. The Germans were encour-
aged to hope that another Sedan, on
a far vaster scale, might be won in
the eastern war area. But, if any
prophecy is safe concerning the pres
ent Polish operations, it is that the
Grand Duke Nicholas will save his
armies, even if he doesn't save War
saw.
After the present operations come
to an end, however, whether Warsaw
falls or not, the offensive power OF
the Russians will be destroyed for a
long time to come.

ROSBY TO HAYEC CREAMERY
Farmers Club Members to Establish
Institution and Plans Will Be Com
pleted at September Meeting.
CENSUS SHOWS 252 COWS THERE

q
Members Of the Rosby & Grace
Farmers club have decided to estab-
lish cooperative creamery at Rosby
and at a big meeting to be held Sep
tember plans for it's erection will
be completed. -, . {
At recent meeting of the farm
ers vote was taken as to whether
it would be advisable to build a
creamery or a cheese factory. All
but two favored the creamery. Ole
Moen acted as temporary chairman
at the session and G.. G. Moi was tenn
porary secretary.
The farmers are of the opinion that
a creamery: is much needed in the
community and that it will be of
great benefit. A census of the cattle
in the country to be benefited shows
that there are now 252 cows and that
several farmers will add to their
herds as soon as the creamery is
placed in operation.
A. J. Mcclure, formerly superin-
tendent at the Grand Rapids expert
mental farm, and now connected with
the extension division of the state
university, will be invited to attend
the September 6 meeting, which is
to be held at Rosby for the purpose
of assisting in organizing a creamery
company There are several other
communities now considering the ad-
visibility of building creameries.
The next meeting of the Grace
Lake and Rosby Farmers club will
be held at the Gilbert Wien farm, in
the town of Bemidji, on the last
Sunday in August at 10 a. m.
