BLACKLIST ASSAILED
BY BRITISH PAPER
U. S. Views Upheld-Measure's
Expediency Questioned.

London, Aug. In long editorial
on America and the Blacklist The
Manchester Guardian" says that Eng
lishmcn should try to understand the
point of view Of the American govern
ment.
The editorial explains that Amer
lean objection is twofold: First, that
the blacklist does serious injury to
American trade, and. second, that 1t
embodes a doctrine in international
law at once new and pernicious.
at is the common belief that the
first of these grounds 10 ma
torial interests the real driving
force behind the protests, but we do
serious injustice to the American gov
eminent if we imagine it is not con-
cerned for something higher-the pro-
lection of the existing rights Of neu-
trails against the gradual encroachment
brought about by the exlgencies Of the
present war.
The editorial questions the expe-
diencv of the measure and concludes
as follows:
as the government convinced that
this blacklist policy is such as to JUS
tify the risk Of multiplying disputes.

United States and of Identifying our
selves with a doctrine of international
law 10 which the American government
is now and will be long after the war

some guidance in this matter"

allied your courage, and you have re-
vealed to the world the true France,
that France whose disappearance or
humiliation would be universal ca
lamity and an eternal loss to man
kind.
Your patience and gallantry during
long months have restrained the press
ure of the German army. The battle
fields where you have repulsed the
enemy-the Marine. the User. Cham
payne, Artois, the Meuse and the
Somme mark SO many stages of vic
tory. II is you who have enabled
France to organize her equipment and
Belgium and Serbia to reconstruct
their armies. II is you who have given
TO England the time to form the admir-
able divisions which are fighting now
at your side. IL is you who have given
to Russia .he means to supply rifles
and guns, cartridges and shells TO her
heroic troops.
Says Scale Is Turned
To-day, as you see, the Allies are
beginning to gather the fruits of your
perseverance. The Russian army is pur-
suing the Austrian army in fight. The
Germans, attacked at the same time on
the Eastern and Western fronts, are
engaging everywhere their reserves
British, Russian and French battalions
are cooperating in the liberation OF
our soil.
THE struggle. alas, is not yet ended!
1t will still be hard, and all of us must
continue working, and working unre-
mittingly and with fervor. But the
superiority of the Allies is already ap.
parent to every one. The scales of
Fate had protracted oscillations. Now
one of the trays keeps on the ascent;
the other is lowering under a burden
which nothing will tighten.
Immortal glory is due TO Verdun,
which has prepared the combined action
of the Allied armies. Glory be with
you, my friends, who have saved France
and avenged insulted right"
Messages from Americans.

Germany's declaration of war on Rus

General Alexieif says: 81 think that

Premier Sturmer of Russia says:
"At the moment when the Allies are
entering upon the third year OF the

struggle to the end, and is firmly con-
WINGED that, with the help Of the AL

The statement points out ina, mp,

The Admiralty holds that England
"claims for herself a special CODE OF

The net result of the British oten-
sive on the Somme from the LIST 70
the 18th Of July was stated officially IN
Paris to-day 10 be that the whole hrst
German position between Ovillers and
Montauban and the greater part OF the
second German position fell into Brit

taken and 10000 officers and men made
prisoners. Military material seized IN

anti-aircraft gun, several large howitz-
ers and an enormous quantity OF ma
chine guns, trench cannon and NUM-
tions.
Twenty-one enemy aeroplanes were
brought down.
The German army on the Western
front, French authorities say, consists
of l22 divisions, or much more than
half the German forces in the field.
The strength of the divisions is UNI
known, some consisting of two brl-
gades and otheE of three. Two -bri-
gade divisions on war footing have
$4,000 men and thre:-brigade divisions

the force on this front. it is assumed,

Many Young Prisoners.
Prisoners recently taken are Of the
1917 class: that is, from nineteen 70
twenty years old.
II appears that Germany transferred
twenty-three divisions from the East
TO the West front after the Russian
campaign in the autumn Of 1915. Only
four divisions were recalled in June
and sent TO Gaicia. Simultaneous
pressure on both fronts by the Allies
thus prevents the transfer of troops
from frontier to frontier.

for War, and General Sir Douglas Haig,
commander Of the British troops in
France, together with an order of the
day issued by General Joffre to the
French army on the occasion of the
second anniversary Of the outbreak of
'he war. The order of General Joffre
follows:
Soldiers of the Republic: Your
third year of fighting has begun. For
two years past you have been support
ing with ,rfailing strength the weight
Of an implacable conflict. You have
caused all the plans of our enemies 70
fail.
Military Triumphs Recorded
you vanquished them on the Marine;
you checked them on the User, and you
beat them in the Artois and in the
Champagne at time when they were
vainly seeking victory on the plains
of Russia. Then your victorious re-
sistance during a battle OF five months
duration broke the German effort IN
front of Nerdun.
Thanks to your stubborn courage
the armies Of our Allies have beer
enabled to manufacture arms, the
weight of which our enemies to-day
are experiencing over their entire
front.
"The moment is approaching when,
under the strength of our mutual ad-
vance, the military power of Germany
will crumble.
Soldiers Of France. you may be
proud of the work you already have
accomplished! You have determined
to see it through to the end, Victory

Of blood. The nations who have let

But justice is on its way"
The President recalls the events
which preceded the declaration of war.
He relates how the German troops en-
tered French territory and continues:

London, Aug. 1.-The close OF the
the West has brought from both sides
statements OF their opponents gains
and losses, which agree in only one
thing -that the cost in life has been
enormous. If the statements of both
Berlin and Paris could be accepted at
their face value, the total Of dead and
wounded on both sides for the month
would be we'll over 100000.
The Allied claims give the basis on
which the estimate is made, and so
bear prima facie evidence OF truth.
They show that since July Is the Ger
mans have brought to the Somme front
twelve new divisions. Since these have
all been used in attempting to check
the Allied drive. and not for a new Ger
man oxensiye. it is assumed that they
have simply replaced men who have
been disabled. This makes a loss for
Germany of nearly division a day
between 5000 and 262,000 for the
fifteen days. OF these 10000 have been
captured. OF course, none Of the Ger
man units was entirely destroyed
but Germany's system Of consolidat-
ing broken organizations makes it rea-
sonable TO figure that her actual losses
in the last two weeks have been not far
from 100000.
No Evidence by Germans.
The German claims are stated fatty
and without evidence. Berlin says the
British have lost 100000 men in the
month and the French 100000. Ger

During the past month some
1000 catalogues from one Of the
Chicago mail order houses have
been received here. This is only
the forerunner of the immense
number of these catalogues that
will be received from now until
Christmas. The mail order houses
maintain a bureau where every
newspaper of consequence in the
country is received. The papers
are carefully looked over and
where the local merchants fail
to advertise catalogues are at
once dispatched. 1t always brings
good results and far in excess of
territory where the local mer-
chants advertise. A few days ago
a lady received a mopstick from
a catalogue house priced at 10
cents. She paid 8 cents postage,
8 cents for the money order and 2
cents to mail her letter, or a total
Of % cents. The same kind or a
better mopstick was sold here for
10 cents. The merchants did not
advertise their mopsticks, ETC.,
and no one knew they handled
them. If every catalogue nets the
house $40, as is claimed, it goes
to show that the last batch means
about $4,000 taken from the tills
of the Ely merchants. Everybody
knows, as you say, that you are in
business, but everyone don't know
what you have for sale. The OBJ
scure little or even big items In
your store may be just what
someone is looking for. While ali
know that you sell -four and sugar
the question is just how much
-four and sugar do you sell for a
dollar. The buyer wants to know.

Go, the Money

Reports are circulating to the
effect that a smooth-spoken sole.
itor has been operating in certain
parts of rural Minnesota. He takes
orders for groceries. He offers
sugar and a few other staples at
ridiculously low prices. Other
articles likely to be taken in
small quantities are offered at the
usual or at even higher prices.
The staple articles, however, can
not be ordered without ordering
the others. Payment is made
when the order is given. When
the shipment arrives, however,
the "big bargains" are not in
cluded, but letter comes along
which explains in very smooth
terms that the house is for the
present out of the missing staples
and will ship them as soon as pos
sible. Shipment, though, is
awaited in vain, and the money
advanced does not come back.
The operations of such men
make but another argument for
dealing with the tried home
merchant.
