Despite the continued retreat of the
Russians in the Riga front, indica-
tons are not wanting that the Ger
man drive in this region may have
reached nearly its limits. This view,
indeed. is taken by leading German
military writers, whoE point to the
lateness of the season as making it
improbable that Won Hindenburg in
tends to push his campaign further
this fall. He will be content with
safeguarding his new acquisitions, the
naval bases of Riga and Duenamu-
ende. they intimate. The absence of
German naval cooperation on a large
scale, in the Gulf Of Riga, with the
land forces seems to support this
view.

ARREST DECREASE
Is PER CENT i'm
FIVE YEARS TIME

The number of prisoners handled
by the. local police court has decreased
over Is per cent during the past five
years If the amount of money expend-
ed by the city FOR the board of pris-
|oners can be- used as a fair criterion.
The decrease could probably be figur-,
ed greater II the increase in the cost
should be considered. The basis for
this statement is judging the decrease
in. the number of prisoners in the To-
cal bastile by the municipal expendi-
lures for boarding these men during
the month of August compared for
the past FIVE years.
The statistics on file al the office
of the city clerk for the. August board
OF prisoners r as follows: 1917,
$26; 1916, A$26.75: 1915, S97.95; 1914.
~$124.26; 1913. $109.05. or a decrease
OF $84.05 this year over five years ago
August.
The statistics on file at the office
Of the city clerk for the August aid
to the poor of the city are as fol-
lows: 1917, $68.76; 1916, $101.28;
1915. $147.2o: 1914, $116.1o; 1913,
$107.17.

Burglars Get Little Money
Third Robbery in Town
I, in One Week.

Pingree. N. D., Sept. s.-The post

did the work. They blew up the safe
and went through the cash drawer.
The William Shaw merchandise
store was also entered. Shaw discover
ed two men in the building and open
ed fire on them, but did not succeed
in hitting them. On examination it
was found that they had gone through

few dollars.

FIRST WEEKS SAVING
OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
AMOUNTS TO OVER $48

The total amount OF deposits in the
school savings bank for the first week
of the school ear is $48!67.
During the last year of the opera
ton Of this system of school banking
the children have saved a total of ST.
900, nearly all Of the deposits being
for small amounts of a few dollars
each. School savings banks have been
established in a number of the more
modern schools for the purpose Of
training children in the art of thrift
and saving. Practically all of the ac-
counts Of the depositors are for mall
amounts saved a few cents at a time.
Money is in this way saved by the
children, which would probably other
wise have been spent for little unnec-
essar articles.
If a school child should commence
depositing in this bank when in the
lower grades. p%uttingin small amounts
and creating the interest of their par
ents in the proposition, so that they
would add to the amount of the child
from time to time, by the time the boy
or girl was ready for graduation the
deposits with accumulated interest
would amount to a very comfortable
nest g toward a college or bust
ness education.
Saving is truly an art and a habit
worth cultivating and with this in
mind the school bank has been estab-
lished for the benefit of the children.
Each Friday Is banking day in the
schools and the money is collected in
each grade and deposited in local
banks where it accumulates interest.
The small sums saved by each child
probably would not be deposited if it
were not for this system which places
the total saving Of all the children in
the bank.
1T is urged that the parents Of
school children cooperate with school
authorities in aiding their children to
start a bank account. An accurate
record is kept Of every penny deposit
ed and the whole proposition is han
died under a regular banking sys-
tenn. Records Of deposits are open
to public inspection at any time.

CHANCELLOR
SUPPRESSED
REAL TRUTH
Germany Again Trapped in
Trying to Shift War
Responsibility.

Copenhagen, Sept. 8.-With theSar-
rival here of Russian newspapers,
light is thrown on the campaign
which the German government has
been conducting on the strength Of
testimony brought out at the, trial of
General Soukhomlinoff in Petrograd
high treason. Accounts OF the trial
published in the Novoe Vremya of
P~etrograd show that in the attempt to
prove that Russia was. responsible
for beginning the war, the Germans
suppressed important parts of the tes-
.timony given by General ~Januschke-
witch. former chief ofNthe Russian
general staff. In its report, the semi
official German newstagency commit
ted a passage regarding an interview
between General Januschkevitch and
the German military attache in Petro-
grad.
It appears from the Novoe Vremya
that General Januschkevitch testified
precise reports have been received
that German mobilization already was
secretly in progress. The Russian
staff knew this could be done under
the German law, without formal proc
lamation, whereas in Russia, a public
manifesto from the emperor was nee
essary.
On7the following day dispatch was
received from the Russian ambassa-
dor at Berlin confirming the previous
information that the German mobil-
tzation was in progress. The emperor
then expressed his thanks to General
Januschkevitch for not having revok-
ed the mobilization order.
The foregoing dispatch gives the
first intimation from a Russian source
in regard to the testimony which the
German chancellor, DR.. Michaelis,
said earlier in the week established
"~irrefutably" that the military party
around the Russian emperor, not Ger.
many, chose the time for the war
The chancellor said that, If the Amer
lean government had had knowledge
of this testimony.-its judgment as to
responsibility. for the war as expressed
in the Presidents reply to the Pope,
would have been quite different.

CROWS RooSTs NOT MENACE
Federal Department of Agriculture Ex-
plains How Nature Has Arranged
Things BeneficialIy.

The latest year book of the depart
ment of agriculture gives an accaxnt
of one of the most interesting bird
phenomena that still persist in the
thickly settled eastern ana central
states-ln ''roosts" where crows gather
every night In cold weather. Although.
even in the nesting season, crows are
more or less gregarious, their habit Of
fiocdng is most conspicuously dis
played during the winter. In Septem-
ber they begin to migrate toward
comparatively small area of the coun-
try-the territory from Connecticut
south to Virginia and westward be-
yond the Mississippi river. Their
roosts are usually stands of pine or
other evergreens, although sometimes
they pass the night In groves of de-
ciduous trees. Roosts are often estab-
lished in the near nelghborhood of
large cities; one at Arlington, Va, Just
across the Potomac river from Wash
ington. is supposed to have contained
at times as many as two hundred
thousand birds. Several other equally
populous toosts have been observed
in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. For
tunately, the crows do not feed to-
gether, but as rule dlsperse by day
and forage over a wide area, so that
the roost is not so serious a menace
to crops In its vicinity as might be
supposed.-Youth's Companion.
