ment issued by John Shelton Will

BATTLE FOR sEssARABlA

London.-What promises TO develop
into the decisive battle for the south
ern gates OF Bessarabia is under way.
There is every indication that these
gates have been barred by the Rus
slams during the last two months with
the most powerful army Of defense ar
tillery and that their approaches are
guarded by strong Muscovite army
determined to spell the final half of
the Teuton advance in northeastern
Rumania.
In the region of the village OF Ger
ma and around Umachea (Altmagea),
the Petrograd War Office announced,
fighting is proceeding between ad-
vanced detachments and has attained
more than the average intensity" In
he northernmost part Of the Dobrud-
ia, says the German War Office bull
letin. the enemy who retreated TO that
part again offered fighting resistance"
The left flank of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's attacking army in this
area, resting on Cerna village, stands
% miles south of the Danube which
borders Bessarabia. The advance to
this point repesrents a progress Of six
miles in two days from Pecineaga.
Mackensen's right in that period ad-
vanced IA miles. from Babadaga to
Umachea. Thus it is seen that the
Teuton speed already has consider
ably slackened in the face Of the in
Creasing Russian resistance, for last
week the invaders covered 80 miles
in three days.
On the west bank OF the Danube
nearly opposite Hirsova, Dobrudja,
Pctrograd reports that attacks on the
Russian lines were repulsed Outpost
engagements OF great violence also
have taken place on the Dobrudja
side of the Danube
In the region Of Brody, Galicia, the
Germans. after bombarding the Rus.
sian trenches, conducted an open for
nation, but were driven TO their base,
says the same report.
Up TO the end OF November the
French losses on the Somme are esti-
mated at 250,000: those OF the English
at 550,O0O. making 100000 dead
wounded and missing. The same au-
thority says the German losses In
this arena OF war In this period were
considerably under 100000 Of which
76 per cent recovered sufficiently to
return 10 the trenches.

ALaudable Effort.
tFarmington Times,I

Hugh Steele, merchant and Pres
ident of the Commercial Club at Bis
marck, was in Farmingtan Monday.
His principal purpose here was to try
and interest the Commercial Club at
this place in joining the Bismarck
Commercial Club in an effort they are
making to get motor route estab-
established on the Illinois Southern
from that place to Flat River. The
idea is to have four or five round trips
made between those two points daily,
a distance of only about 10 miles.
Mr.. Steele is ssnguine that the es-
tablishment OF such service would
pay from its very inception, and that
it would prove to be immeasurably
profitable, not only to Bismarck, but
to Pennington, as well. For instance,
such service would furnish Farming
ton with st. Louis morning papers by
IA. M. 1t would also enable passen-
gers to get in or out of Pennington at
almost any time Of day, over the
Illinois Southern or the Iron Noun
tain, in any direction. For Bismarck
it would it would be almost as ad'
vantageous, as number Of residents
there are employed in the Lead Belt
and such line would enable them tc
get to their work and return home
each evening.

In France the "Credit Foncier" a

In Russia the "Peasant Land Bank, .

In Switzerland land credit associa'

taking care of the needs of the farm

means whereby the financial re quire
