HOPE Of SHORT WAR
DASHED BY RUSSIA
ARMY AUTHORITIES RECOGNIZE
THAT MONTHS MUST sLsr
BEFORE VICTORY CAN COME
Russian Collapse viii Release aerma"
Forces to Bolster Up Teuton Line
on Western Front, Where Anef'-
can Troops Are to Be Engaged.

vosbinoton No attempt is MADE
here TO minimize the seriousness u
the situation in the war theatres -
Europe. The United States IS ~ lite
war and win 20 through with III Dut
any hope Of a short struggle mas gpne
glimmering with the apparent Almost
complete collapse of the Russian var
machine.
The development was not uneApeet-
ed by many army officers. When ihe
offensive of July was started Ds
the Russian forces, the most frequent
comment heard here was that Il was
probably the dying kick OF the ola
Russian machine.
For the United States the russian
collapse may have an immediate anu
direct bearing. It will, if the German
general staff presses its advantage, re-
lease additional German forces to boil
ster up the western front, where me
American troops are to be engagea.
The German line in the west has MOI
been seriously impaired at any poiht'
officials here believe.
Germans improve Weakest Front.
1t has been noted, in fact, that the
one strategic advantage gained in re-
cent fighting was gained by the Ger
mans. Many officers here believe tLat
when a small sector of the British line
in Belgium was overwhelmed the Ger
mans improved their weakest front
materially. That view is based on
opinion that the only hope OF decisive
attachments for the allies in the west
lies in rolling up the German right
flank where it reaches the sea in Bel
GUM.
If that could be done, it is argued
that the U-boat bases could be stamped
out and the only offensive instrument
of the Germans be eliminated entirely
or made ineffective.
It would require combined army and
navy operations, for it would be neces-
sary to force a landing behind the Ger
man line and force the whole right
flank back from the sea as a result.
The price of such victory against
the U-boats and German shore bat
teries probably would be appalling, and
there is nothing to indicate that the
effort is being seriously considered.
Allies Can Hold Line.
Reports from France, official and
so far as known, give no
cheering picture of what must be done. |
There appears no doubt that the allied
line can stand against any force Ger
many can bring against it. Even the
Russian disaster does not affect that |
situation. But to gather the necessary
for a successful offensive will |
take time and ample sea transporta |
Eien facilities if the United States is
TO furnish the needed surplus of men,
lirplanes, munitions and food.
The transportation problems before
he United States, both on land and
sea, are constantly increasing in scope.
It seems certain now that whole rail
'oad systems will have to be set up
n France to give the American line
he flow of war materials and men
hat it must have to press home an
attack.

CROP VALUE GREATER

American farm products attained
gross value Of $13,449 200, 900 in 1916,
making that year the greatest in
point of value of any in the nations
existence. That estimate of the years
gross value of farm products and ami
NAL products, announced today by the
department Of agriculture, exceeds by
S2,674 100000 the total of 1915, the
previous record and by more than
three and half billion dollars the
value in 1914. Crop production for
the year was comparatively low and
did not reach record figures except in
a few minor instances, but high prices
sent total values up.
The level Of prices paid to pro-
ducers for the principal crops on Dec.
/, 1916, was about 55.5 per cent high
er than year ago and 52.8 per cent
higher than the average of the previ-
Gus eight years on December l.
Montana farms contributed $l21,-
655, 900 to the total of $9,11l, ,000, 900
for the entire country, according to
the estimate of the department Of ag-
riculture. These figures do not in
clude the value of the animal prod
ucts which will add materially to the
estimate. In 1915 the department es-
timated the total value of Montana's
farm crops at s6,396,ooo which indi-
Gates an increase of nearly $35, 5,00O, 900
for this year. While large part OF
this increase is of course due to the
high prices received by the farmers
for their crops, it is also due in part
to the vastly increased acreage which
is annually coming under cultivation
in Montana There are 28 states
which produce crops of greater value
tran does Montana.

HAVRE EDITOR
DIES SUDDENLY
L. w. Pierson, Publisher of
Havre Promoter, Succumbs
FUNERAL SERVICE MONDAY
Illness of Four Days Proves Fatal
While Visiting in California. Was
Well known Here

l.. w. Pierson, editor and publisher
of the Havre Daily Promoter, is dead.
The news Of his demise came over the
wires from California Monday morn
ing. 1t came as stunning blow to
relatives and friends for there had
been no intimation of illness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierson left Havre on
the morning of December 28th, last,
anticipating a few weeks of restful
recreation in southern California. Mr..
Pierson was enjoying the best of
health on leaving the state and the
few brief messages received from
them since then told nothing of any
serious illness.
Monday morning kilograms were re-
ceived from Mrs. Pierson from Los
Angeles, California, containing the
sad news.
Later information revealed that Mr..
Pierson had been sick only four days.
Mrs. Pierson had written that she was
acting the part Of nurse and having
been sitting up with Mr.. Pierson who
was suffering from Cramps in the
stomach" and this strengthens the be-
lief that sudden attack of appen-
dicitis was the cause of his death.
The remains were scheduled to ar
rive in Havre Friday morning.
Lou" Pierson was we'll known in
this city, having been interested in To-
cal enterprises. His friends were
many, and they mourn his loss. He
came to Montana in 1909 and pur-
chased the Havre Weekly Herald
which he afterwards named the Pro-
moter. In 1914 he began the publica-
ton of the Daily Promoter with the
late r. X. Lewis as editor. He was
also interested in other business con-
Germs and served as Receiver of the
Havre land Office under President Taft

the enforcement of the laws when '
am instructed to do so," said States
Attorney Owens to the Herald this
week. "Whatever my opinion of the
Sunday blue laws of North Dakota
may be, it is my duty to enforce them
when called upon to do so, and my
warning was issued simply with a
view to letting all persons know the
law. If there should be complaints

those most interested and if COM

be some changes in the Sunday blue
laws in the interest of the state.

With the Montana Lawmakers
Resune Of the Past Week in the Fifteenth
Legislative Assembly

AS the fifteenth legislative session
of the state of Montana progresses it
becomes more and more apparent that
it is going to make a record for quail
ity rather than for quantity of bills
introduced and passed. At the begin
ming of the fourth week there had
been introduced in both houses l49
bills, eight joint resolutions, five joint
memorials and two straight resolu-
tions. OF the bills IS have originated
in the house and 54 in the senate. Of
this number three have been signed by
the Governor, one passed by both
houses and % killed.
The progressiveness of the legisla-
ture, especially the senate, where the
Republican declaration of principles
made at the opening of the session by
Majority Leader J. f. Edwards is be-
ing rigidly adhered to, is demonstrated
daily by the character of new legisla-
tion proposed and the efforts of the
senators to be fair and just in all par
ticulars, going into the minute details
of matters before taking them onto
the floor of the senate for discussion
This has been shown in the matter
of the tax investigation, as on the
initiative of the senate, joint COM
mittee has been named composed OF
Senators Kane, Hogan and Dwigh,
and Representatives Gould, Mcmahon
