London, Dec 20.-The possible pre-
lude of strong German offensive
movement on the western front, where
the Germans aee reported to have re-
ceived large reinforcements occurred
against the British line to the NORTH
west of Ypres. To the accompaniment
Of q heavy bombardment the Germans
directed clouds Of gas against the Brit
fish, who, in conjunction with the
French batteries, turned their guns
on the German trenches engaged in the
gas operations.
Germans Driven Back.
The British official report of the at
lack says that most Of the German
infantry were prevented by the gun
fire from leaving their trenches, while
other detachments were driven back
before reaching the British line. On
the other war fronts there has been
little fighting of Importance.
For the present, the campaign in
the Balkans, except for the pursuit of
the Serbians in northern Albania and
minor actions between the Bulgarians
and Montenegrins is virtually at a
standStill
BuIgars Wait at Greek Border.
The Bulgarians are still standing
guard at the Greek frontier where the
Anglo-French forces crossed to make
their way back to Saloniki.
European interest is becoming TO
cused more and more upon the prob
abilities of some new, but as yet I'M
developed upheaval.
1t appears to be taken for granted
on all sides that the policy of the cen
trail powers will be an attempt to gain
decision somewhere, while their op-
ponents will prefer to devote the win
ter to preparations for warfare In the
spring.

Every nation in the world will soon
look upon the American peace pill

Reaches Port After IL Days.
The Oscar H., carrying the Ford
peace expedition, arrived at this port
Saturday after 14-days' voyage from
New York. The delegates expressed
much displeasure because the vessel
was delayed three days by the British
authorities at Kirkwall, Scotland
Mr.. Ford said he was confident the
expedition would result in getting the
men out of the trenches before the
winter was over. He declared he
had information from official sources
that his peace plan was looked upon
with approval.

He added that his motive in com
ing to Europe was to develop to the
full an understanding throughout the
world by the time the peace sessions
were begun st The Hague.
William Jennings Bryan was expect
ed to join the peace party there, he
said
Mr.. Ford explained the presence of
the american party in Norway was
merely intended to convince the Nor
wegians of the fervent wish of Ameri-
cans for peace. He expects to gather
a Norwegian delegation here and then
in about three days proceed to Stock
holm, Sweden.
Definite Program.
He said the party would grow as it
travelled, through neutral countries and
that this would convince the belliger-
ents that the rest of the world de-
manded peace Immediately.
BY the time Copenhagen was visit
ed and The Hague reached, probably
two weeks hence, Mr.. Ford said, the
peace movement would have a definite
program.

Minnesota farmers are being urged
to build ssilos in order to utilize to
best advantage the fodder in the corn
crop. Owing to cool weather in the
fore part of the summer the growth
OF the corn plant has been retarded
to such an extent that it is feared
the ear will not mature. For that
reason it is thought wise to get as
much value as possible out Of the
fodder. Much, Of course, depends on
the season from now on. With warm,
favorable weather from now on, we
believe there will be considerable

Come to the Chautauqua

If there were no more in human
life than a laborious struggle for ex-
istence-mere work for clothing, food
and shelter, for sensual pleasure, or
for the possession Of worldly goods,
of farms, stores, factories railroads,
money, stocks and bonds then indeed
life would hardly be worth the liv-
ing and would be a failure But for
tunately the Greater had a higher and
nobler purpose in view for man,
when he created him in his own
image. Endowed with mind and soul,
the ability to think and reason, to
contemplate and to enjoy, man is
fitted and destined for a higher life.
It is not well for man to keep his
thoughts constantly trailing in the
dust, he needs to look upwards. It
does not require the possession of
silver or gold or large estates to turn
mems minds heavenward- often world
~ riches tend to shield from view the
heavenly vision. We have seen poor
peonle. even uneducated people ac-
cording to the standards Of the
schools, vet possessing minds that
scared above the clouds, that were
alive to and plated the great pro-
blems of life, and were fit to asso-
ciate with the crowned heads in the
realm of mind.
Every normal human being feels
the need of withdrawing for short
periods Of time from the cares and
vexations of every day life. To all
such. every opportunity to meet with
and to listen to cultured men and wo-
men who have the power to stimulate
thought and direct it to higher levels,
is always welcome. Such an oppor-
tunity is offered by the chautauqua
at Warren. July 20 to August 2.
Come to the Warren Chautauqua for
rest and relaxation, for the every
dav grind, for mental and spiritual
uplift, instruction, entertainment and
wholesome amusement, Give the
whole family a vacation before the
busy harvest season begins. Don't
forget to bring the children. They
will learn and benefit more from the
Chautauqua than the older ones.
Good music has the power to lift
the sonl, and a stirring address will
bring inspiration and pleasure. Do
not figure that time spent at the
Chautauoua is lost time. Those who
attend will work the more efficiently
afterwards. Get the Chautauqua
spirit. Get as much good out of
Chautauqua week as you can, get as
much good out of life as you can.
And now let everybody in Marshall
and northern Polk counties unite to
make the Chautauqua Of 1915 a grand
success.

every rain, dragged roads are again

NORTH STAR COLLEGE, NOTES

The North Star Signal for the
month Of July is now in the hands OF
its readers. 1t contains the paid sub
scriptions to the College Building
fund from July /, 1914 to July / 1915.
In case your name is ornmitted, it is
an error, and we would ask you kind
ly to inform Rev. F. N Anderson,
Warren, Mimi, in order that proper
credit will be given to the donor.
The days and months are soon
numbered from now until the day
that you should enroll at North Star
College for the fall term. Get your
self ready early; write for information
concerning your courses: make ar
engagements for yo,lr board and room;
tell others Of the school that you at
tend; talk North Star College to your
friends. and tell them to write for
complete information.
Rev. F. N. Anderson left for the
Twin Cities last Sunday evening in
the interest of the College.
We wish to impress upon the minds
Of those who contemplate taking a
business training that all the business
colleges are not alike There is as
much difference between schools as
there is between anything else. The
difference in price between good and
poor instruction is usually small, but
the difference in results is very great.
It is unwise to attend a school simply.
because the tuition is cheap. An in
ferior school will give YOU cheap and
inferior instruction, which means un-
satisfactory and worthless education.
Come and get the best at North Star
College for a reasonable tuition.
To the student: Do you feel the
need Of becoming more certain and
stronger in your work? Let us give
you a good review. Did you fail at
the last Teachers Examination
Come and let US fix you out for the.
next one.

ToGS FOR TENNIS GROUND
Probability That the Fashions of Last
Season Will Be Utilized and I'm
proved Upon.

The question of teunis attire will
soon be upon US and it seems likely
that the changes which made thei,
appearance toward the end of las,
summer will be found to have estab
lished themselves and that there may
be even more to come. The wider
skirts, too, will make for greater grace
and freedom. Cotton poplin, lowered
voiie and crepon. the new materials,
as we'll as the new soft piques, will
come in for full share of patronage.
A distinct Rubicon has been crossed of
late with regard to dress for the game
since the passion for color invaded its
sacred domain, SO long consecrated to
white. 1t is neither likely nor desir-
able, of course, that this will be the
case to any great extent, but the little
touches of color that are now allow
able on tennis court are a decided re.
lief to the monotony
One of the latest innovations is the
wearing of gray shoes and stockings
instead of the traditional white. with
perhaps pale gray hat and tie. Deli
cate gray and white are, strangely
enough, perfectly charming mixture,
giving wonderful effect of GOODNESS.
Another welcome diversity is provid-
ed by the Powered crepons that have
been SO much the vogue.
