Republican 4. p. Leased Wire1

along the lines proposed by the pro- ponentS of the continental army. While the amendment has little chance of adoption, the senate is certain to focus attention on weak nesses of the national guard system and bring out the reasons which i'm pelled former Secretary Garrison to advocate the continental plan and resign from the cabinet when it was rejected by the house committee. The house refused twice today to in sert in the bill provisions designed to prohibit the use of the national guard by the states for strike duty Rep resentative London, of New York, socialist, and Representative Heating, of Colorado, democrat, were met by points of order when they offered
 amendments for this purpose. The
 house overwhelmingly sustained the ruling of the chair.
 The struggle will be renewed to- morrow, but there is no prospect that the house will change it's mind. A proposal by Representative Elm erson of Ohio, democrat. that would | have admitted general officers of the national guard to the federal service 1 in command of their brigades or di- visions in time of war, was defeated after much debate. Representative
 Emerson of Ohio insisted that these
 men, who had given years to train 1 ing guardsmen, were entitled to high rank when the troops were used for
 war Representative Hay declared 1 that adoption of the amendment
 bill since the efficiency of the war
 depended upon the efficiency of it's
 higher officers.
 1 The most important amendment placed in the bill was suggested by Representative Carl Hayden, demo- when regiment of the national
 guard is sent to the front, a fourth | battalion is organized from the na- | tiOnal guard reserve to take the regi-
 ments place and to train recruits for the fighting lines. Under this
 called out, force one third the total strength would immediately take its | place at home to maintain order. Se- cure and train recruits and insure
 that the fighting regiment would be ! kept up to full strength without cruits. It is possible a similar sys- tenn will be devised for the regular
 regiments.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22- Frank C. Jordan, secretary of state, an- nounced here today that it was his pur- pose to respect the evident desire of the two factions of the republican party to have their candidates considered in groups. The printed ballots, he said. would be arranged so that either the two lists would appear, each in a sep arate column, as unpledged, or, if it should be necessary to print the names all in one column he would arrange to have a white space between the two lists so that the group formation would be retained.

Michigan Girl, For a

Word comes to Fargo from Opheim,

teemed young Montana homesteader.

The WAR is ONE oE EXHAUSTION

London Chronicle: 1t is now Ger
many that is being subjected to a war
of exhaustion. Her strength is still
great, and though the odds against her
are now great and will continue to in
crease, the process of wearing her out
will take time. Only prolonged fight
ing will weaken her resistance.
To put 1t briefly, the war Is now a
matter of killing Germans and Aus
trians, Bulgars and Turks. but prin-
Cipally Germans. That killing will go
on on every front from the Persian
gulf to the Baltic and the Aisne to the
Caucasus. In such q war Of eXhaus,on
the gain or loss Of ground here or
there is of relatively minor import
ance. For a time the balance may even
seem to fluctuate, though in all likeli-
hood the enemys outlying and remote
fronts may start to cave in at an early
stage. But really decisive results will
begin to happen when the process Of
sheer killing has reached such q stage
that the enemy is no longer able to
man all of his lines of defense and
has to fall back upon more easily held
positions. In short, we must expect to
wear out the enemy first and drive him
back afterwards When that stage Of
enemy exhaustion begins to manifest
itself, events will come with a rush.,
but we must not expect that rush
here and now
We may apply these general COnsid-
erations to the present battlefront in
France. A glance at the general map
will show that on this occasion we
have in front of us no immediate geo.
graphical objective. Behind the Ger
man lines there is no great fortress
city like Lille or railway and road
center like Lens, the capture of which
would make a far reaching change in
the strategic situation. The country
is one of rolling downs. cultivated to
the submits, crossed at rare intervals
with roads and railways and dotted
here and there with country villages
and small market towns. Some 20
miles to the rear of the German line
there is, it is true, the trunk line that
runs from Lill and Maubeuge 20 St.
Quentin, and the seizure of this line
would render the German occupation
of the historic and formidable ridge
crowned by the old fortresses Of Laon
and La Fere impossible. The wedge
of the German salient on the Disc and
Aisne, would have to be blunted, and
the uncomfortable presence Of the
enemy hardly more than 60 miles from
Paris would be brought to an end. But
in modern warfare 20 miles is a great
distance and an advance to st. Quen-
tin line is hardly within immediate
probability.

On a starred night Prince Lucifer up
rose,
Tired of his dark dominion swung
the fiend
Above the rolling ball in cloud part

Where sinners hugged their specter of
repose,
Poor prey to his hot fit of pride were
those.
And now upon his western wing he
leaned,
Now his huge bulk Ger ATTIC sands
careened,
Now the black planet shadowed arctic

Soaring through wider zones that
pricked his scars
With memory of the old revolt from

Which are the brain OF heaven, ne

Around the ancient track marked, rank

When the long, hot day is over and
retreat has blown at last
And the darkening cool of evening is
falling sure and fast;
When the stars peep out like silver,
shot upon a maze of blue,
Then 1t is my thoughts are turning
ever homeward and to you.
From the gray of early morning to the
dusk OF evenings rest
We do our best at duty, for our duty
is our best;
But when the dutys over and there's
no more work to do
Then my thoughts are homeward fleet
ing, mother dear, to far-off you
Oh, the joy and pride of soldering looks
well on painted boards,
Where the uniforms are laundered and
the hats have golden cords,
But on duty that's forgotten, when a

And a'wishing he was going on the
