THINKS EUROPE KILLING
SELF FOR AMERICA

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-That Europe, by
prolonging the world war, is commit
ting suicide and making the United
States the greatest world-power, is
the view taken by Professor George
Simmell, authority on international
politics, in narticle in the Tage-
blatt.
"America stands nearby as the wait
ing heir at the deathbed Of a rich tes-
tator,' he wrote. "Sending ammuni-
ton is the chief indication of this at
titude. Europe sends not small por-
ton of it's fortune to America and the
equivalent which it receives it blows
into the air, or rather it. uses for the
better execution of it's suicide to hast
en- the succession of America to the
world throne. It is masterpiece in
worlds historical speculation. Is
Europe so insane that it commits this
harikari?

SENDS UP ACALL
FOR HARVESTERS
Lake Region in North Dakota
on Eve of Big General
Harvest.

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 4-The
call for the laborer is heard in the
Lake region. With the harvest begun
the keenest demand in years for shock
ers is felt. By the end of the week
thousands of men will be in the fields.
White barley and rye were cut last
week with large per cent of the
wheat starting to turn.
A remarkable condition has pre-
vailed in Ramsey county this season.
Despite the fact that the precipitation
was 2.80 inches below normal for the
month, the section as whole has not
suffered for lack of rain. This has
been due to the cool temperature, the
thermometer failing to register above
sc degrees.
The big, strong, healthy stalks of
grain in the fields in north central
North Dakota are we'll supplied with
moisture and even in the late grain
no loss would be sustained if there
was no more rain this summer.
While some farmers are preparing
to follow the much heralded advice to
{ stack grain, only a very small part Of
the crop will be handled in that man.
ner. The theory of the average farm
err is to move on the threshing rig just
as soon as the grain has cured in the
stock, thus taking no chances with
delay from early snow.

B00NCRAN1EDT0 TO
COUNTRY PUPILS

LONG PRAIRIE, Mimi, Aug. s.
Todd county rural school students to
the number of 1000 will receive credit
at school after this for work they do
at home.
The idea has been worked out by
County Superintendent Knutson and
will be put into operation with the be-
ginning of the school year. It is in
line with other innovations he has in
troduced of late years to make school
work more practical and to increase
the interest Of the boys and girls in
the work. The "home work credits"
will be required and the student to
make a grade must have earned dur
ing the year at least 1000 credits.
some of the items of home work for
which the boys and girls are to re-
ceive credit at school are:
Washing dishes, l.
Making beds, I.
Making entire meal, 3.
Taking care of baby, l.
Mending socks, 1.
Feeding three cows, 1.
Feeding five pigs, l.
Milking one COW, 1.
Bringing in wood, l.
Building fire, 1.
Baking bread, 5.
There are credits for other home
work and the Industrious boy or girl
can earn Is credits a week if they
apply themselves. The parents keep
track of the work, report to the teach
err each week and the teacher reports
to the superintendent at the end of
each month. Diplomas are issued tc
the students at the end Of the year
The plan was tried out on small
scale last spring and was highly sue
cessful. It received the enthusiastic
cooperation of teachers, students anc
parents. Results show that it in
creases the interest taken by students
in their school work and assists ma
terially in getting the work done al
home.

FIERCE FIGHT FOR WARSAW
Russ RepuIse Thirteen Attacks in One
Oay-Bodies Used as
BulWark.

London, Jan. 12.-The Germans
have crossed the Rawka river, barely
thirty miles west of Warsaw, have
entrenched themselves on the east
bank, and attacked the most import
ant line of defenses made by the Rus
SLAMS to prevent the capture of War
saw. The Germans were repulsed, but
the battle continues. There has been
violent fighting at Suhka. east Of
Skierniewicz, but no appreciable
progress has been made. SO fierce
ly has the combat ragged that the
Russians in one trench repulsed 10
attacks in a single day, and each at
tack meant the practical annihla-
tion of the attacking force. After
the tenth assault the bodies of fallen
Germans were piled so high that the
Russians were unable to fire from
their trench. They rushed forth and
piled the bodies into a veritable wall
with openings for machine guns,
From behind this bulwark of human
bodies the Russians repulsed three
more attacks, moving down the close
columns of the charging Germans to
man.

GERMAN FLYERS BUSY
BATTLE IN SKY DRIVES TEUTONS
FROM DUNklRk.
Belgian Armen Engage Hostile Avia-
tors While 5000 Feet Above
the Earth.

London, Jan. 12.-The Germans ap-
parently have begun their long threat
ened war in the air and reports of ac-
ton by hostile airmen are received
from many places in northern France.
The most serious attack was at Dun
kirk, where seven German machines
dropped many bombs and caused the
death of five persons in the suburbs
nearest the Notifications. Several were
injured in the city itself.
The raid resulted in a battle in the
air which is described by the Chron-
icle correspondent in the following dis
patch:
Seven hostile aeroplanes appeared
over the city at two o'clock. The aero
planes were flying at height of about
five thousand five hundred feet and in
single file
They wore met by a hail of lead
from machine and antiaircraft guns,
but the Germans took leisurely sur
vey of the Notifications and then
dropped their bombs in quick success
sion. No damage was done to the
military works, but several houses
speedily caught fire. The residents
quickly hid themselves in their cellars
on hearing the first explosions"
After dropping their missiles, the
airmen were preparing to leave,
when two Belgian aepplanes came
to attack them. Although outnum-
bered, the Belgians fought CALAMITY
and completely outmaneuvered their
opponents, They rose to a height of
1000 feet and, having gained this ad.
vantage, fired at the Germans with
machine guns.
THE battle lasted about forty-fve
minutes and then five of the German
machines drew off. 1t is believed they
were short of ammunition. The two
remaining aviators strove desperately
to gain the advantage, but as the
rose higher the Belgians rose too and
held their advantage, until the final
phases of the combat were fought at
a height of about nine thousand feet.
Suddenly, the spectators say, one
of the German aeroplanes swerved
and dropped The airman apparently
had been hit and had lost control of
his machine. The aeroplane, crash
ing to the ground in i plowed field,
was completely wrecked The airman
was killed
THE seventh machine quickly dis
appeared in the direction of Calais.
There three bombs were dropped, but
no casualties or material damage re-
suited"
A German aeroplane flying over
Amiens has been brought to the
ground by a French machine. The
German machine fell within the
French lines. One of the German
pilots was killed.
Two German aeroplanes heading for
Paris turned northward when they
saw French aeroplanes driving in
their direction.
