severe fighting along the whole line
through Thionville in Lorraine and
along the Vosges in upper Alsace,
which the French had invaded with
temporary success.
This battle resulted in defeat for the
French and English.
While obtaining some successes in
counter-attacks on the advancing Ger
mans at Peronne and at Guise, the
French were obliged to fall back rap
idly to the line of the River Marine.
On the left the French had with
most German army, under Won Kluck,
followed.
The garrison Of Paris was put in
thousands of motor cars and hurled on
Won Kluck's flank. The latter was not
taken entirely unawares and met the
attack strongly, but at the same time
the army of General Foch attacked the
German army on Won Klucks left and
drove it back
Driven sBack From Paris.
The Germans had begun the battle
with five armies in line. The with
drawal of the two farthest west now
caused the retreat of the third, fourth
and fifth in that order, each in turn
finding its flank exposed by the with
drawal of the troops on its right. At
the same time the movement on the

CAMPAIGNS IN THE WEST

The first month and a half of the
startling, swift moves. On September
II, after the defeat On the Marine, the
Germans took up defensive positions
along the Aisne river The ten and a
half months since then have seen a
long deadlock.
The battle line of the Aisne and the
Disc quickly extended northeast to the
sea. Fighting has been continuous,
with tremendous losses. The general
situation has remained unchanged,
gains of a few miles for one side at
one point Offset by minor gains for
the enemy in other sectors.
At the beginning of August the
kaiser took possession of the little
state Of Luxembourg and demanded
passage through Belgium to the Fran
co-Belgian frontier.

WITH BARNS
FULL Of STOCK
Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A. Meyer, who left one OF the best
Counties in Minnesota, probably De-
cause he got good price for his ex'
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story Is Wen
worth repeating. He says:
ITO say I was greatly surprised
when reached Saskatchewan and AL
berta would be expressing 1t mildly.
In a country where so much suffering
was reported, found everyone In
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left ClearWa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who were re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack of feed, found with their barns
full of stock, and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 100 acres to two sections OF the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
In crops this year.
Prospects for a bumper crop are
splendid. 1t is a little cold now, but
nothing is frosted, either in gardens
or fields. Land can be bought quite
reasonably here from those who vol
unteered their services in the Euro
pean war. Here are certainly the
best opportunities for securing a good
home with farm and independence
for life in short time. Before l
started I heard that prices were so
high. Flour was reported at $12 per
hundred it is $425 here. In the west
all the groceries can be purchased
for nearly the same as in MINI. The
only article that found higher
was kerosene at 35 cts per gallon.
When I saw the land wondered why
people do not live where they pro-
duce enough from the soil to make a
comfortable living. We visited T. T.
Safer. John Dahls, w. J. and r. D.
Hollis, Martin Halmen, Ole Halvorson,
VIM. Walker and Geo. Colby, all
from Bagley. We found well and pros
porous farmers who wished to be re-
membered to all their Bagley friends"

A Souvenir of soIferlno.

The recent Solferino anniversary re-
called not only the occasion of a great
victory by Italians over Austrians, but
also the birth of the Red Cross. "Un
Shuv0Rir de Solferino" was the title
of the work that stirred the conscience
OF Europe. 1t was written by a young
Swiss. Henri Dunant who had been
among the nurses at the front and
seen the sufferings of the wounded.
That souvenir" brought an invitation

Austrians withdrew over the Carpa-
thians again, leaving Przemysl to be
besieged a second time. The Ger
mans withdrew to Silesia and the Rus
SLAMS, following closely, were able
for a brief moment to raid this rich
province at Pleschen. At the same
time they entered East Prussia
again.
But again the German strategic
railways proved their undoing. Hin
denburg concentrated at Thorn and
drove into the right flank of the Rus
sian main forces, throwing them back
on LodZ.
He advanced too far, however, and
when he had the Russian forces near
ly surrounded, he suddenly found Rus
slams in his own rear. In this ex-
tremity, the Russians say, he tele-
graphed for re-enforcements.
But before the re-enforcements
sent from Flanders arrived the Ger
mans had managed at frightful cost
to hack their way to safety. This was
the bloody battle of Lodz.
Wins Second Victory.
With stronger German forces oppos-
ing them the Russians withdrew to
the line of Bzura, Rawa and Ntda
rivers. At the same time the Aus
TRANS, attempting to debouch from
the Carpathian passes, were driven
back everywhere, leaving $4,000 pris-
oners.
With January Hindenburg made a
third desperate attack on Warsaw.
For ten days, both night and day, the
Germans came on. Then, having lost
probably $4,000 men and the Russians
nearly as many, they gave it up.
Unable to reach Warsaw, Hindenburg
concentrated twice Siever's force In
East Prussia, and won his second
overwhelming victory there. Enor-
nous captures of Russians were made
and the fortress of Gradno was at.
tackled farther west, from Ossoweta
to Pultusk. The Germans retreated
to Mlawa and then tried to flank the
Russians at Przasnysz, which city
they took. But the Russians again
fanked the fianking party, as they had
done 1t LODI and won an important
success. (February 22-28).
In March and April, the Russians
pressed through the western Carpa-
THAN passes and entered Hungary.
Just when their future seemed bright
est, the Germans broke the Russian
line in West Galicia and let through
enormous forces.
Pressing westward frresistibly, they
took the Russian Carpathian armies in
the rear The latter tried to retreat,
but vast numbers were captured.

the Russian besiegers March %, fell
again into the hands Of the Austro.

We are happy all the day,

There will be an Anti-Sa1oon Field Day in
Streator on June 20. Streator has recentlysh
some Anti-Saloon agitation among her own
people, who unsuccessfuly sought the reduc-
ton of the number of saloon licenses The
churches of Streator should therefore well
come the League speakers and thus register
their protest against the recent action of the
city council in ignoring the protests of the
churches.
