BRITISH MAKE
SLIGHT GAINS
ON WEST FRONT
Lull Along All Other Portions of
Various Battle
Fronts
WAR OFFICES ARE
~ VERY RET1CENT
Austrian Seaplanes Have Raided
Venice Doing Little
Damage

London, Aug. T.-For the first time
in weeks no change of Importance
was reported in any theatre Of the
war, Thursday. The most violent
fighting took place on the western
end of the British salient on the
Somme. Six times the Germans ad-
vanced in force in a desperate effort
to bend back the British lines north
west of Pozieres. London reports
that all of these assaults were re-
pulsed with heavy losses and that
the British in turn captured about
100, yards of trenches northwest Of
BaZentin.
An interesting feature of the situ-
alton on the western front is that the
Germans, contrary to their usual prac-
tice, have so far made no attempt to
deliver counter attack in the re-
gion where the French and British
claim to have captured nearly mile
of trenches on "Wednesday. "
The French are busily consolidat-
ng their gains and report no action
of Importance on any section Of their
front, including the Verdun region.
Mystery Exists. .. Ls,s,.
Some mystery exists as to the sit
taatioa4 4ap thai eastern front. For two
days the Russians have confined them
selves to statements that othing, OF
Importance had occurred. The Aus
trian and German war offices have
been almost equally uncommunicative.
The only fighting mentioned by Vien-
ma was the repulse Of Russian at
tacks on the line of General Won
Boehm-Ermolli, who is in command
of the Teutonic forces retiring from
the Tarnopol front. Berlin reports
the repulse Of Russian attacks south
of Brody.
The lull in the Italian operations
against Trieste is unofficially explain
ed from Rome as due to General Co.
dorna's desire to straighten his lines
before proceeding with general Of
fensive against the great Austrian
seaport. Austrian seaplanes have
again raided Venice, but Rome says
they caused only slight damage.

QUESTION Of DANISH
WEST INDIES TAKE ON
" LARGER PROPORTIONS

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE Temps, treat
ing at length the negotiation for the
sale of the Danish West Indies to the
United States, says the question is
gradually taking on larger proper
tions than the one between the gov
ernments Immediately concerned, and
is becoming international. It points
out that the Danish finance minister
declared the government had decided
to sell the islands because it was
feared they might be taken away by
force.
The Temps also says that the ces-
sion of the islands by Denmark was
undertaken, probably, with the desire
of obtaining the support of the United
States when the Schleswig Holstein
question is brought before the peace
congress at the end of the war; The
Temps adds:
"The sale of the Antilles is, there.
fore, awakening attention far beyond
the frontiers of the small Scandinav-
ian kingdom"

MEN CLAIM VIOLATION OF
CERTAIN STIPULATIONS

New York, Aug. I.-Possibility Of
another surface car strike on the
lines of the New York Railways COM
pany diminished tonight when a grow
ing inclination was apparent on the
part of both the company officials and
the union leaders for further confer
ences, in the hope that an amicable
understanding might be reached.
The chief point at issue is the in.
depreciation of the phrase without
prejudice" contained in the clause
providing for the reinstatement Of the
strikers. The carmen assert the stip.
ulation was violated when many en-
ployes were discharged. a
The company maintains the men
were dropped from the service in the
interest Of operating efficiency.
Among those dismissed were several
who had been found guilty of disor-
derly conduct during the recent
strike.

BISMARCK WOULD
!. Be Affected BY !. !.
PENDING STRIKE
Business in This Vicinity Would
Be Demoralized Should En-
ployees Walk Out
OPERATIONS WOULD
BE SUSPENDED

"Should all efforts for mediation fail
to bring together the representatives
of the railroads of the country and
their 100000 employees, the results
in Bismarck and vicinity would be
equally as demoralizing as in other
portions of the country" said w. A.
Macdonald, local agent for the North
ern Pacific railroad, when approached
on the subject yesterday afternoon.
Although Mr.. Macdonald Is rather op-
timistic as to the probable outcome of
the threatened strike, some of the re.
suits of tie-up of the 225 railroad
systems of the United States were
CLEANED in personal interview with
him yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Macdonald holds the opinion
that the difficulty will be settled by
and states that he has sew
eral excellent reasons for this conten-
tion. "The majority of the men in
touch with the inner side of the ques-
tions at stake do not seem to be
greatly worried" added Mr.. MacDon-
aid, "and as some of the men l have
in mind are directly in supervision of
several railroad lines that would be
affected should a strike be called,
can see no special reason for agita-
tion at this particular time. A crisis
in the situation has been reached and
must be settled now for all time and
it seems probable that settlement
can be affected so that both sides will
be satisfied by arbitration.
Every town and city west of the
Mississippi would be demoralized,

cities will be used as a model.
Mr.. Richholt announced last eve
ming that he is merely retiring from
business and expects to remain in Bis
marck. The pioneer merchant paid q
glowing tribute to the city and its
people when he said that Bismarck is
most assuredly the Capital City Of a

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
TO CHECK EPIDEMIC
Health Authorities Will Wage
War Against Spread of
Infantile Paralysis

Washington, Aug. 17.-Plans for a
more vigorous campaign to prevent
the spread Of infantile paralysis
were made here today at confer
ence of health authorities of most of
the states with officials of the federal
public health service. Resolutions
will be adopted tomorrow by the con-
terence, in which eminent plague ex-
perts, scientists and psychologists
are participating, outlining definite
proposals for checking determinations
of the disease.
While few of those present today
expressed alarm that the epidemic
might assume countrywide proper
tions, they spoke of the precaution
necessary to prevent general spread
of the disease.
Attention was chiefly centered on
prevention of spread of the epidemic
through interstate travel.
A special committee to propose
methods for control of epidemics, in
cluding transportation regulations,
was appointed, to report tomorrow.
Among its members is DR.. III. H.
Bracken Of Minnesota.

ADVANTAGE OF EARLY LAMBS
If Eve and Young Are Given Good
Care and Dry Shelter April
Lamb Is Quite Desirable.

TIE April lamb is desirable with
most sheep owners. In order to have
the April lamb, says Better Farming,
it Is necessary to breed the ewes in
November, since the period of gesta-
ton is five months with these ami
mails. April is often cold and stormy
and the pastures do not get much
start, bat if the eve and her lambs
receive good care and have a comfort
able dry shed or stable to stay in out
Of the inclement weather, then the
April lamb is much more desirable
than the lamb born a month later.
The April lamb is ready to eat May
grass, that is, it has the grassnib-
bling habit started, and soon is on
both a grass and milk diet. The early
lamb has many advantages over tho
later lamb in the matter of being able
to feed on the summer herbaGe and
keep up constant and vigorous
growth through the summer months,
when the younger lamb often has EN-
barrassments of the fall season that it
the milk supply of the eve is checked
or diminished from a shortage of pas
ture the late lamb is more seriously
affected than the older one.
There is more difference between
the early lamb and the late one than
appears in the young of other kinds OF
animals on the farm The tlocking
habit Of sheep, no doubt, Influences
considerably in this respect, since the
sheep incline to crowd together in
punches as the weather grows warm
and the flies become troublesome.
There is no animal so sensitive to the
annoyance of the fly as the sheep, and
this works q great hardship on the
younger lambs, as the mother sheep is
less attentive to the wants OF her
lamb.

ALPINE GRANDEUR AMAZING
Nature Has Wrought Great Changes
to Uplift Their Magnificent
Peaks-VoIcanic Work.

Nothing in the worlds history Is
more impressive than the story of the
Alps. Ten or twelve million years
ago, possibly far more, a long unseen
line of weakness, a crack or assure
in the earth's crest, stretched away
from France eastward hundreds OF
miles. On this line followed huge vol.
canic outbursts.
Next ensued a vast slow subsistence,
which went on through geologic
epochs until where Mont Blanc now
rears its summit 1870 feet was a sea
fringing an old continent. Large riv'
ers emptied into it. Deposits of mud,
sand, gravel were laid one on another
as the sinking went on until the layers
became $4,000 feet, or nearly ten miles,
thick.
Then at last commenced a great
uplifting; the struggling subterranean
forces raised a huge load. For ages
this went on until the rocks, crumbled,
crushed, contorted, rose above the wa
tiers and continued to rise, forming
lines of mountain chains and making
Switzerland lakeland
Every hour since then rain and
snow, river, glacier and avalanche
have been sculpturing into peaks and
carving into lakes and valleys that
vast platform with its recent sedi
mentary covering and primeval gran
lite core.
The result Is a land of unequaled
grandeur.

PREVENT INJURY FROM FRUIT

Orchardists should be careful to see
that all dead wood is cut and removed

WOULD TEACH CITY PLANNING
Architect Thinks 1t Should Be FART
of the Curriculum of the Country's
Public Schools.

Frederic l.. Alderman, member or
the committee on town planning in
the American Institute of Architects,
advocates the teaching of city plan
ming in the public schools, 1t Is his
idea that only by educating succeed
ing generations of the public through
the medium of the public school may
we acquire correct standards Tor re-
making our present cities and lot
building new ones, and he brought 1t
out in a recent address on THE Archi-
tectural Side of City Planning
Mr.. Ackerman's theory is more con-
cerned with education than with archl-
lecture. His main theme is that the
architectural side of city planning Is
dependent upon proper methods OF cd
ucating future citizens up to hlgh
standards of architectural beauty.
Architecture depend so utterly upon
the physical conditions of an environ
ment, he says, that, unless these con-
ditions be reasonable, architecture can
do nothing. The reasonableness OF
to Mr.. Alderman, upon the people Nv
ing under them
He refuses to limit his definition OF
the term, city planning. 1t is not
merely a series of legislative acts I'M
posing a set of conditions 10 which
peoples life must be worked into con-
formity, says Mr.. Alderman, nor Is 1t
merely the carrying out OF certain the
cries d,veloped by city planners, en-
gineers and students Of social and eco.
nomic conditions, or of the Ideals OF
an architect. 1t is not merely pro-
viding for adequate transportation,
proper sanitation, better housing or
more beautiful surroundings; 1t is all
of these, with more added to the list.
City planning, in brief, is provision for
a more adequate physical expression
of the composite ideals Of groups or
people thrown together by social and
economic forces.
Mr.. Ackerman's method for teach
ing city planning to the school chlld
would begin with making 1t clear to
the child that there are things for him
to consider in our towns and cities
which are vital t his comfort and
we'll being, and which, incidentally,
have to do with architecture and art
The idea is to instill in the child's
mind a keen interest In the various
phases of his physical environment
and its possible improvement.

KEEN SIGHT OF THE GULL
Acute Work-Expermen Con-
WINGED Ocean Travellers.

There is perhaps no other bird, OF
land or sea, so keen Of sight as the
common gull. To convince skeptical
friend of this, an American naturalist
once made some interesting expert
ments. Two men were passengers on
a steamer where the spring ebb aided
them to run twenty miles an hour A
dozen gulls followed them in the
steamers wake without apparent eff
fort, and circled in graceful curves
over the water. Breaking cracker
biscuit into four parts, less than an
inch square each, the naturalist hand
ed one piece to his friend and told him
to drop it into the seething waters on
the starboard.
Immediately the bit of biscuit be-
came invisible to human eyes, and yet
before it had gone thirty yards astern
a gull detected it, and, dipping into
the foam, secured it. One by one it
picked up the other bits of biscuit.
though neither of the two men could
see them. Tearing off a postage stamp
from an old envelope. the naturalist
dropped it overheard. The gull de-
tected the waif and made as if to pick
It up. But when within yard or so
OF 1t the bird saw that it was nothing
in his line, and glided upward again to
his favorite station on line with the
topmast truck.
