NEW GERMAN DEFENSES
ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

Berlin. Germany-( BY wireless to
Sayville 1.-THE almost complete ces-
sation of the fighting on the Somme
front during the past four weeks has
enabled the Germans to complete a
NEW system of trenches along the
whole front, says the military critic
of the Overseas news agency in an
article. He declares the great battle
that began there on July l may now
be considered to have been terminal
ed and declares that the fact OF the
Germans being able to reconstruct
their line means that all the efforts
and losses of the five months often
is lve by the Entente forces were in
vain, as if it were desired to resume
the attack it must be begun all over
again as in the beginning.
AS to the new defenses, the writer
says they have been perfected to
such a degree that even the fore
most trenches are now protected by
barbed wire with the troops hold
ing them occupying dugouts and hav-
ing adequately protected communica-
ton trenches Moreover. he asserts
the new defensive lines are stronge.

the two propositions.
During his campaign Mr.. Lyon

the nominees for the legislature, and
il is understood that practically all
the replies he received We're favor

BRAILA TO BE ATTACKED
FROM THE FLANK AND REAR.

ASSOCIATED Press Review)
The peace discussions are pro-
ceeding while the active military OPP
erations are being vigorously prose-
cuted, only on the Rumanian front.
In this war era, the latest reports
show Won Mackensen making pro-
gress toward Braila, the great Ru-
manian grain and oil storehouse on
the Danube. The taking of Fill
pechti places Won Mackensen's forces
little more than 80 miles from the
objective.
; Meanwhile Teuton army, appar-
emily composed largely of Bulgar-
ians lis hammerng away on Matchin
just opposite Braila. The clearing
of the Russians from Dohrudja,
which seems possibility from the
advance in Walachia, if it reaches
Braila, will put the position at
Braila under artillery fire in flank
and rear from across the Danube.
On the Belgian front, the artillery
and aeroplanes are active, but the
infantry is holding we'll to its posi-
ton.
Possibly interesting developments
are indicated from Verdun, where
the fighting is active along the east
Mouse between the Vacherauville
and Vaux sectors.

WORST IN YEARS REPORTED
FROM NORTHERN S. DAKOTA.

Pierre, S. D.-The storm which
prevailed over the western and CEN
trail part of the state Tuesday was
one of the worst for years. 1t did
not get UP to the great 1883 bliz-
card in it's fury and intensity, but
it was bad enough to make travel
dangerous on the open prairie, and
there was no stir which could be
avoided. There may be stock losses
from the storm, but most of the
stockmen now equip themselves to
care for their stock in such emer-
gencies. and there is no likelihood of
the great losses of the old range

A town is very much like an
individual. To be fourishing it
must have energy and enterprise.
The people in town should re-
member that the individual pros
perity depends to a large extent
upon the character of the place
in which their business is located.
Every public measure should
be literally supported by all. es-
pecially the business men. AT
the present day there is as much
competition between towns as
there is among persons and bus
mess enterprises. A man seek
ing a location will invariably Sc
lect a town that is up to the
times, and is eagerly in favor of
every modern improvement. A
town in these modern times cant
afford to be peopled with old
fogies or antediluvian fossils who
are continually kicking at every
enterprise. To make a flourish
ing town you must believe in its
future and work for it, encour-
aging every improvement. Make
a special effort to exhibit some
evidence of improvement in your
own work and character. Help |
every worthy man, every enter
prise, and encourage every good |
man to locate in your town. Elk. |
