No New Developments, So
Far as Official Reports
Disclose, as Result of Ger
man Success to North Of
SOiSSOnS
BIG GUNS STILL
DOING GOOD WORK
Artillery Continues to Play
Leading Role, Although
Here and There Attacks
and Counter Attacks Are
Being Made
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

LONDON, Jan. 16.-There are nc
new developments. SO far as official re-
ports disclose, as a result of the Ger
man success in regaining the lost
ground north of scissors and the Rus
sian advance between the East Prus-
sian frontier and the Vistula River The
French, who are strongly entrenched
along the Aisne River on either side
of scissors, with the assistance of the
floods. have apparently checked any
further German advance.
The big guns have taken the place
of rifles in the fighting in that region
In fact the artillery continues to play
the leading role, although here and
there along the line attacks and coun-
ter-attacks have been made. The Ger
mans in one of these recaptured some
trenches near Carency, but their at
tacks elsewhere, particularly near Fir
ey and South Thiaucourt. where they
have been most violent. have not been
SO successful.
In Poland, north and south, the fight
ing consists largely of artillery engage
ments but here too, the Germans con-
tinue to attack the Russian armies
which block the road to Warsaw but
apparently are making no headway
The Turks are reported to have met
further disaster at the hands of the
Russians. The eleventh army corps
sent from Erzerum to help the broken
Tenth. which is making a stand at Ka-
ra Urgan. according to Petrograd ad
vices, met a defeat which some of the
correspondents describe as irretriev-
able
Should this reverse prove as serious
as reported, the Turkish position
should be extremely serious. for the
Russian fleet is in a position to prevent
reinforcements being sent from Europe
having already sunk eight sailing YES
sells carrying troops. The Germans
have displayed much activity in theil
effort to recover the ground they lost
during the offensive undertaken by the
allies in December. Their efforts are
interpreted in some quarters as an at
tempt to resume a general offensive
With the ground in it's present soft
condition military men in London dc
not believe the Germans will make any
such effort. but as success may depend
10 a large extent upon surprise, they
may attempt it unexpected. Unless

Donna, were today executed by order of
Carrarza officials at Rio Bravo ac-

II. s. Stephenson, the superintendent
of the Buckskin Mountain ranch, and
possibly third witness, geologist
The plaintiffs case, preferred last
week, consisted of the introduction of
affidavits and testimony to show that

Professor Heprikson, head of
the violin department of the. Da-
kota Conservatory of Music at
Fargo, arrived 1.-THE city Monday
morning to assume his work with
the Wahpeton Conservatory. of
Music. The Conservatory faculty
has materially strengthened it's
forces by adding PORT. Henrikson
who is a most successful violin
teacher, having attained his ex-
perience by years of conscient-
ious and efficient work.
A class in harmony wasorgan-
lied this week by Prof. Henrikson
and will meet every Monday even
ing hereafter. All students who
wish a complete musical educa
ton should be interested in this
work because harmony is to mu-
sic what grammar is to the writ
ten and spoken language.
The Conservatory faculty wish
to extend cordial invitation to
all Fair visitors to call and will
gladly show them through the
various studios and explain the
methods used.
Studios are being maintained
in Breckenridge the same as in
the past and the enrollments are
better this year than ever before.

other cash resources of the bor-
rowing nation could be used in
buying things and paying debts in
other neutral countries.
Let us see how this transaction
will work out as between two i'm
dividuals, because business
transaction between two nations
differs in no respect from a busi-
ness transaction between two in
dividuals.
Suppose Smith owned a grocery
store, Brown was his customer,
and Brown fell into that condi-
ton which is commonly described
as poor pay" He could not pay
his bills for the things that he
had eaten, nor could he give any
very glittering promise for the
future.
AS a matter of fact, it would
seem that Brown had engaged
himself in some very expensive
litigation, with lawyers's fees and
court costs and possible judg-
ments for damages and alimony
looming in the future.
Suppose Brown dashed into
Smiths store one day and said:
Look here, Smith, I'd like to
get on a cash basis with you. I'll
tell. you what I'll do. I owe you
for a couple of hundred dollars
worth of groceries, and I want to
buy more from you in the future,
so here's my promissory note for
200. You just cash that and I'll
pay you what I owe you. That
will also enable me to pay my
grocery bills promptly in the fut-
ure-for WHILE"
81 see,''' said Smith, "that puts
us on a cash basis, but it appears
to me that it is my cash, as we'll
as my groceries,"
WELL" said Brown, suppose
I agree to spend the whole 1000
with you?"
II know" said Smith, "but, as
matter of fact, haven't you got
some money and other available
assets ?"
ooh yes'' said Brown "but you
see if l borrow this money from
you l can use my own money and
the rest of my credit and all my
other assets in trading at the
hardware store and the dry goods
store. And besides, to put up COL
lateral with you would injure my

the s,LLion DOLLAR LOAN

Laying aside the very large
question involving the right and
wrong of the United States finan-
cling either side in the European
war, let us examine the proposal
Of a $i,000,OOO,OOO loan merely
as business proposition.
The immediate situation which
calls for the loan is the rapid fall
in foreign exchange. In other
words, an order for pounds, shill-
ings and pence, or for francs and
confines. is not worth 100 cents
on the dollar'in American money,
ad is rapidly growing less valu-
able.
That means that the credit OF
certain foreign nations is not as
good as it was.
Foreign exchange has been US
ed to settle for purchase of war
munitions and food supplies, for
which balance running into
hundreds of millions of dollars is
now due, or about to become due
In order to ''steady exchange"it
is proposed that the people of the
United States buy $1,OOO,OOO,O0O
or SO, worth of bonds. Bonds are
the promissory notes of nations
With the proceeds of these bonds
it is proposed to pay for NUM-
tions and food supplies already
consumed and for such as may be
delivered in the immediate fut-
ure. Of course, the nation selling
bonds might use some of the
proceeds to buy food and NUM-
tions from other nations, or il
