in CYCLONES OF FIRE
THE BRITISH SWEEP ON
Germans Unable to Withstand the Terrific Drive of
General Haig and His Troops the
Western Front

(SIMS WITH BRITISH AFIELD)-
General Haig's crimp in the German
line has reached depth of five miles
east of Arras. With the sweep for
ward the strength of the British often
sive with each battering of the enem-
les line. The push continued today
along a battle front of so miles.
Elated bye their victories, confident
of their superior strength and Win
a perfect coordination of all arms OF
the service the British poured forward
in waves despite the freezing, blust-
cry weather with bursts OF binding
storm.
British artillery turned the Ger
man positions into muck and the Ger
mans were forced to retreat. German
prisoners declared that the British
fire was so cyclonic that many OIL
ficers fed for their lives.
Vimy ridge, the Canadian prize is
still more firmly held. Tremendous
efforts by the German commanders TO
dislodge the British from the heights
failed.
The British were able to advance
north and south of the Vimy rldge
despite the most violent German de-
fense.
Because O fthe depth of the penetfa-
tion into the German lines there are
hints of it's actually breaking.

North Dakota has taken long strides
in the direction of Henry George ideal
ism according to the report of Ra!
McKaig who addressed meeting Of
farmers at Eggans hall Tuesday eve

State ownership of public utilities

by spectators on the same basis as
the improved land of the farmer, COM
munity buying and selling and death
to the commission man who CANDLES
in the necessities of life-this was
the burden of Mr. McKaig's intensely
interesting story.
Story Of North Dakota
In a dramatic way and enlivened
with many apt stories and illustrations
the speaker told how, after North Da-
kota had been ridden and bedefiled
by politicians Of all breeds, the worm
turned;' how the farmers in the
Grange, the Farmers Union and the
Farmers Equity got together, turned
the politicians out and put farmers IN
all the offices of the state, even ta-
king possession of the state supreme
court.
How Farmers Took Charge
In the course of his addres Mr.. NC
Kaig said in part:
ssFor years the minority has ruled
in North Dakota One gang after an
other has controlled the state, but eve
ry gang in spite of its promises has
been more or less connected with IN
yicible government. Human nature
could stand it no longer. BY sticking
together the farmer precipitated the
greatest political turnover this or
any other state has experienced Tor
many years. They showed what CO.
operation in politics can do AS
farmers they planned every detail ev-
en- to the taking away from the gang
the state political machinery. They
swept out of power at the last cleo
ton every politician who had the
faint of the old gang on his person.
How Gamblers Rule
Condemning the spectators in
food products the speaker said; "One
gambler in the pit in Chicago under
he disguise of pretended transac-
ion to be made in May, bets with an
,ther gambler that the price will be
it least $3.50 That bet, therefore,

SHE'LL FILL THE BILL

Some difficulty is experienced by
Henry P. Grant, head of the Seattle
Automobile company, in obtaining a
new stenographer. AS a last resort
he ordered a want ad in one of the
local newspapers.
The advertisement inserted follows:
"Wanted-First-class, high-grade
stenographer; salary no object; this
s~tenographer must get it as fast as
l can dictate, and get it right; must
be absolutely accurate; must have hui
mar intelligence; if you are not a

This is one of the replies received
in the mail the following morning:
II note your requirements, as aired
in the newspaper, and hasten to make
inquiry as to this strenuous business
that takes such an extraordinary Ste
nographer. Your advertisement ap-
peals to me strongly-stronger than

We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes,
And we punched them all together,

we always gave to mother.
We began to talk about it very early
in December,
Twas a very serious matter to US
children, | remember,
And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestions to each other,
For by nothing cheap and tawdry
could we show our love for
mother.
Hers must be a gift Of beauty, fit to
symbolic her ways;
It must represent the sweetness and
the love that marked herdays.
It must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be something that she longed
for ;nothing else would satisfy
Then it matterednot the token, once
the purchase had been made,
It was struggled home and hidden
and with other treasures laid,
And we placed our present proudly
in her lap on Christmas day,
And we smothered her with ki.se.

like a lamb to the slaughter, without
beng able to exchange one word with
his well-meaning torturers."
Then, again, concerning those who
died:
would these heroes, forsaken in
the ambulances of Castiglionne, and
IN the hospitals of Brescia, have
gasped their last breath, with curses
on their lips, had some compassionate
understanding listener been near?"
These two extracts from the work
of the founder of the Red Cross, made
a marked impression on our esteemed
fellow-townsman, Captain Bayol, 51st
infantry, while he was yet an in
structing lieutenant at the special
military academy at St. Cyr. Fore
seeing that owing to existing alli-
ances war in the future would find on
every hand soldiers speaking many
different languages and that those in
the hospitals and sanatoriums would
experience great inconvenience and
hardship if means of intercommunica-
ton was lacking, he published in 1906,
his book, "Esperanto Red Cross" in
which he submitted the auxiliary in
ternational language ~"Esperanto," as
the solution to the difficulty. A Ian.

the coming of peace before carrying

gum" Most assuredly not, because,
as already stated, on the one hand, one
can in a few weeks, during the present
war, alone and unaided, learn Esper-
anto sufficiently we'll to both under
stand it and be understood; and on
the other hand because the service
which Esperanto is able to render the
Red Cross, in peace as we'll as war, is
undisputably proved by the Sicilian
earthquake, a catastrophe as porten'
teous, relatively, as the war itself.
Therefore, in every land, let all
active member of the Red Cross ne
longer hesitate to take up the task
Let the public do likewise, for who
among us knows whether or not, Al
some time he may find himself sick
or wounded far from the land of his
birth.
We cannot find a more fitting ter
mination to this article than by citing
the lines of our friend Captain Bayol
in defeating his book to Mr.. Mojgnier
president of the international commit
tee of the Red Cross at Geneva. HI
said, "that the blending of interna
tional relations, brought about by tn
union of the Green Star of Esperant'
with the Red Cross of Geneva will
enable those self-sacrificing persons
wearing the Red Cross badge on thei
arm, to render still greater service
to suffering humanity. In this wa,

ed last night at the Arts Club. when
David Griffith. the Aim producer. gave
short talk before the members and
their friends.
II may not be a prophet" said Mr.
Griffith In closing his speech. but ]
hrmly think that in the future people
will look back upon this rs a golden
age. The poor misunderstood. malIgned,
movie Of today. will have grown into
something more precious in its rela lions
to science and education. and will have
become force more mighty even than
that which Is today termed art in the
shaping OF the lives OF the generations
TO come.
Not only did Mr.. Griffith identify the
film with the name Art" which 20 few
are willing to bestow upon Il. but he
also referred to the opinions Of two e.
Unable gentlemen who are final authori-
ties upon not only art Of today but art
Of many centuries past.
