NO PEACE IN SIGHT IN THE
BUILDING TRADES

Looks like an all summer scrap be-
tween the building trades labor
unions and the contracting associa-
lions. 1t is doubtful if 100 of the
2O,5O0 carpenters voted to accept the
compromise offer of the Carpenter
Contractors assn. Including last
nights balloting, the vote now
stands 6,724 to against acceptance.
The contractors say they will make
no other offer. Meetings with the
carpenters arbitration committee
may be abandoned. They say they
are all ready to put strikebreakers on
the jobs.
Even with both sides suddenly in
clined toward peace, it would take
weeks to get results. But there is no
indication of peace.

Night in Trenches is Filled With
Many Dangers and Surprises

charges were never made; IL was in
the night time, in the smallest. weird
est hours that either the Germans left
their trenches or we left ours. to run
ahead into a hand-to-hand stabbing
affray with the enemy.
The grey of morning is a sight Of
good.cheer. In our trenches we meas
ured the morning light by whether or
not we could see the legs of the
"iuggler" 1uttering in the wind.
THE Juggler' was the corpse OF a
Frenchman which for six weeks lay
some two hundred feet in front of
our trenches. lying on his back, with
his arms outstreched. a canvas water
bucket clutched in each hand. his legs
sticking up into the air, in a spot so
deadly from rife fire that no one
could reach him. The dead man lay
there through the nights and days.
The French called this grotesquo heap
the juggler' because they remember
cd that Japanese athletes stretched
themselves out in this dead French
mans posture and tossed things about
in the air with their feet.
When the rags on 1he legs of "the
iuggler" were plainly seen then We
knew that morning had come, another
night OF madness had passed: and W,
might sleep until the night lights
and the night noises broke out again
at sunset.

If the real picture we're put on the
stage il wouldn't be believd. As you

bits of bright stones. The darkness
of the trench is broken, now and then,
by the flare of cigarette puued her-

Silhouetted against the red SKY IS
the erect figure of a Legion soldier
his glistening bayonet protrudins
above the trench walls and catching
the dying glare of the suns light. Fur
ther along are the ugly shadows OF

Base Ball

The ancient idea that - big bruis-
ers from a neighboring town stole a
game from our team ETC.. or "a
gentlemanly club from the other
town was defeated by our team
still obtains in the great national
game.
As a matter of fact such crudeness
should not exist in a sport of every
day and every locality. Go get the
game fairly and h%onorably. of
course. But if a 1uke, or breaks of
the game and it IS full of 'em-
should happen to favor the other
fellow. take it philosophicallv. Ball
teams near the same class NAV re-
verse results any day. This line OF
dope is suggested by such reports
as the following in the Huron
Herald: THE Fair City baseball
team was defeated in its game at st,
Lawrence Saturday afternoon by the
score of 6 to A.. Poor decisions by 9
poor umpire was the cause of the
loss of the game by the locals"

LAST GERMAN NOTE
NOT SATISFACTORY
Washington Officials are Dis
pleased by Ii

The last German note has been
made public, answering President
Wilson's note concerning the Lusi-
tan1a disaster and sinking of Ameri-
can ships. Official Washington and
American newspapers declare that
it is unsatisfactory. in that it evades
the real issues.
The German noe is friendly in
tone, and expresses a hope of ad-
justing all differences between the
two governments. 1t declines to
abandon Germany's submarine war
fare. aud seeks to lay the blame up
on Great Britain.
The United States government has
a difficult task. The nations at war
are fighting for their very existence,
| Each n can see each and every
incident only from its own prejudic-
ed and self-interested view point.
Our side is right and the other fel-
low is wrong" is the only view they
can or will take.
AS the largest neutral nation not
engaged in the war Uncle Sam must
try TO maintain that neutrality fair
ly, and protect the rights of neutral
nations engaged in world commerce.
This country must get along with
all the warning nations and do the
best 1t a to preserve the rights OF
all nations. Hence it would be a
mistake to break with any of them.
With London censoring the news
Of the world. charging every disas-
ter or mistake of the war to Ger
many--all in the same language of
America. it is perhaps not strange
that a great prejudice has been
builded up in the minds of many
Americans against Germany and
everything German, but a close
reader OF this worlds greatest war
cannot get away from the fact that
there are two sides to the question,
calling for the most careful and pa
tient consideration before hasty
opinions or prejudices are given
play-and Germany has as good q
right to her view as Great Britain
has to hers. This war is between
these two nations. All others are
paWns.

PAUL AND MYERS
A OFFICERS
Jail Breakers Evidently Make
Clean Getaway

Deputy Sheriff Mohr returned
Thursday from an auto trip to the
north counties as far as Mobridge-
and he returned alone. To all ap-
pearances, Billy Paul and Andrew
Myers have made good their sensa-
tional escape from the Hand county
Jail on the night of June 10Th.
The local officers, of course, have
flooded the country with descriptions
of the two men, and they may be
picked up by officers in some town
or county. but again these clever
rogues may be clear out of the state
before this.
Both men are experienced travel
ers. and claim to have been in near
ly every state in the Union. Travel
ing without money has no terrors
for them.
1t is the belief of many that they
had help from friends in Hand
county. During the chautauqua
held in the court yard, numbers of
men and boys talked with Paul and
Myers through the open door of the
Jail. 1t would have been an easy
matter to have arranged to meet
them at a point in the country if
they succeed in getting out. But
the Press doubts if thew ~had any
help. 1t looks as If thev had care
fully planned the affair and execut.
ed it like experts At any rate thew
put it over, and are now ENJOYING
their liberty-if there be any enjoy,
ment constantly expecting an officer
to tap one on the shoulder.
