Paris, Aug. 2A.--Baron d'Estournelles
de Constant, who has been visiting the
camps of German prisoners at Belle
Isle, in writing for the Temps a
description OF what he saw. declares
that every officer has an orderly who
blacks his boots, brushes his clothes
adm does his washing or has 1t done.
All the officers wear spotless linen
and are freshly shaven. They observe
among themselves most correct
discipline.
Baron ID d'Estournelies, in talking with
soldiers who complained of their treat
ment. remarked that they looked
well.
THAT is notwithstanding the condi-

All the men in the group exclaimed,

The eighth of July, next to the
fourth, will in the future be the day
which the citizens Of Hunter will de-
sire to celebrate.
For, while the course, as the birthday
of our nation the fourth is highly i'm
portant and the day will be observed
as such, yet 1t was on the eighth that
the citizens came together and formed
an organization that will make Hunter
8 better, finer place in which to
live.
For several years past there seemed
to the citizens to be something wrong,
something missing at Hunter. It was
not the condition Of their city for they
were satisfied that they had one Of
the cleanest little places in the state;
it was not the. appearance for they
were satisfied that no town could sur
pass them in beauty with every street
arched by great towering trees; it was
not business for they were satisfied
that they were holding their own; yet
certainly there was something lacking,

Washington, Aug. 24.-The Villa
agency here has issued a statement
saying it, had received details of the
fighting recently at Icamole, which
show the Carranza forces suffered q
severe defeat and sustained heavy
losses. The railroad between Laredo
and Monterey has been cut. The
agency issued the following state
ment as to territory controlled by the
rival factions: 1.-TWO states, Chihua-
hua and Mcrelos. are entirely in con-
troll of the Villa forces. Oaxaca is
neutral. Forces Of both factions are
contending in all other states of the
republic and it is absurd for anyone
to claim control of them"

but what was it? Then while a few
of them were talking it over, someone
suggested that perhaps they were too
satisfied, too contented, too apt to
let things slide along in their own way
without a thought of Improvement or
of progress.
Knowing the disease, the remedy
was simple and they determined that
Hunter was going. to move along. No
longer would they be contented with
things just as they were but their
town should take its place as one OF
the busiest, cleanest and most pro-
gressive villages in eastern North 'Da-
kota. ..
Thus on June 25 they held a big
celebration and invited their friends
for miles around. They decorated the
streets with yards and yards of pen
nants and flags and the ladies pre-
pared a great banquet and everyone
was served free. In the afternoon they
had contests and baseball games and

ADJUSTMENTS
 At the Lyric

Aftrampoline stunt IS somewhat poor material for a headliner. yet Billy Bouncer makes the hit of the bill in the second installment of the week at the Lyric. By adding & bouncing con- test in which Billy invites the athletic young men of the audience, nor does he bar the female of the species, to participate, the trampoline artist stages an act that Is hilarious in the extreme and all who enjoy a hearty laugh should not fail to see Billy and his amateur bouncers. He Is very clever himself and has great setting for his act.
 The musical novelty act of the Gus Nager trio caught the crowd, they hav- ing to respond to several encores, en- cores that were fairly earned for all three are capable artists. There is just enough comedy to spice the act.
 Brennan and Carr in a singing and talking act that is dubbed Fun on the Dock" get plenty of laughs. The act is well staged.
 Clever songs and an amusing line of conversation feature the act of Hawley and Hawley.
 The opening number Is very good. William Selbini and Jeanette Croyini offer series of surprises that combine skill and dexterity. and is highly en- tertaining.
 Col Heeza Liar animated cartoons and Pathe's weekly prove interesting picture features and open and close the bill.
