M. Jean Jules Jusserand

M. and Mme Jean Adrien An toine Jules Jusserand. the French am- bassador to the United States and his charming wife, will celebrate their twenty-second wedding anniversary today M Jusserand was forty years old when, on October 16. 1895, he took as his bride Mile. Elise Richards. M. Jnsserand is a native of Lyons, and has been, in the diplomatic service of France since attaining his majority. He was French minister to Denmark several years before he was promoted to the Washington post. As represen- tative of the greatest European re- public in the capital of the great American republic, he has occupied highly important position, and has ac- quilted himself well. He is a writer as we'll as a diplomat, and his book. "A Literary History of the English
 People" shows deep learning. Mime. Jusserand is an American woman, her
 family hai1ing from Boston, but her father removed to Paris and she was reared and educated in the French capital. It was not until her husband was sent to Washington as Ambassa- dor that she really became acquaint- ed with her native land. Since the outbreak of the war Mime. Jusserand has devoted much of her time to rais- ing funds and gathering supplies for the stricken women and children of northern. France and Belgium. A French seamstress in New York had the honor of opening the fund of which Mime. Jusserand is in charge. From that small beginning has grown a large undertaking, and contributions of money and clothing have poured in upon the French Ambassadors wife.

THIS WAR OF SCIENCE.

Of all the many military projects that our government has undertaken sInce the fateful April day when we declared war, the most interesting and appealing to the popular mind is the development of the air fleet. This fleet has three functions: Scout work, location of enemy defences apd direction of artillery fire; h2-Fighting and driving back the enemy planes that undertake the same purposes over cur lines; 3-Bombing attacks in the rear.
 The first two purposes are neces- sary but auxiliary to other forces. The third undertaking is new and prom ises to reach heights of effectiveness scarcely touched as yet. The past summer has seen these attacks cn a srlan scale, but we should be able to increase their power and range tre- memo ously.
 The trouble with these attacks as now carried on by the English and French, is the limit of the freight car rying capacity of the ordinary type airplane. Three hundred pounds Is a common limit of weight that can ne carried in the form of bombs, or about 1-2 pounds per horse power ' Airplanes are now being built Up to 500 horse power. A much greater freight carrying capacity is occurred in these, estimated at 10 pounds per horse power. Such a plane therefore should be able to carry three tons of explosives and to accomplish 20 times the destruction possible from one of the ordiHary craft now in use.
 Such a plane should be able to de- liver an explosive to any point near or far from the trench line. with an accuracy and destructiveness greater than that of any gun yet invented. When these big fellows begin to get

the day, and before darkness there was nice tally, can tellsyou.
 It was some time after this that I got my bhghty, durang the fiercest fight, too, I was ever in. But before I tell you about that, let me give you some idea of what parts of the top of one Vimy Plateau were like.
 We had occasion, some of us, to fore long the bayonet and the bomb were hard at it along 8 considerable length of the ground. s3
 At the spot we entered, the Huns were at first overwhelmed by our on- slaught, and were tscampering right and left along their communication ways, thus giving us plenty of elbow room to establish ourselves and pre- pare for the inevitable counter-attack. We had not to wait for that, either. Hardly had we got a barrtcade erected at a convenient junction than we could hear the Germans coming down upon us. In a moment the awful tus- s1e had begun.
 The barricade( as I call it, was really a rampant of earth which we had tumbled down and scraped to- gether at the entrance to one of the main communication ways. It was loose enough stuff, but 1t was broad and deep, and completely choked the trench. And there we were at one side, the Germans at the other, and the job before each of us was to bomb. blast. or bayonet the other into per dition.
 A lot depended on the issue, so I can tell you there was no quarter ask ed or given on either side. It was a fight to the death.
 The miniature battle began with our bombs; the Germans replied with their potato beetles," grenade, or bomb, attached to 8 wooden handle. It is Ia most formidable weapon, for the handle gives the thrower fine 'pur- chase and enables him to make it spin great distance. And what 1t to kingdom come! For a long time this infernel duel went on, and then, just as we expected the Huns topped the barricade and tried to rush us.
 That was what we wanted. Tn a trice a machine gun, which we had kept in readiness. was whipped up There was a splatter of bullets. a most internal screaming and the mortified Germans fell backwards, amongst their cursing comrades in the rear | How long this fearful stl1ssel lasted

THE SOLDIERS MONEY.

According to Gen. Pershing. our sol dlers in France ought not to have more than $10 a month spending money apiece. His theory is that # the married men are sending all thetr money home, while unmarried man are spending it freely on small com ,- forts and enjoyments, an undemocrat ic difference is created Anywaylfha a character of some men is .sucl, That some money that should come hona to the families will be dribbled away in small change in the towns behind the trench lfne.N
 Ones first thought is that the sol dier's pay is small at best, and that he won't get any more, luxuries and blow-otits than he ought to have, But 1t has to be considered that the Brit ish Tomnies and the French PofIus are not atsall we'll paid Too much a show of cash on the part of our

This week the boys are undergoing
their physical examinations while be-
ing sifted out for service in the nation
al army. Immediately upon compile
ton of the physical examinations, the
boards will be busy sitting out the
men entitled to exemption on one
Ground or another. Every indication
points to the probability of the num-
Der of exemptions being extremely
heavy. In Emmons county more
than four men are being examined
this week for every one needed to fill
our quota. And it is doubtful if that
number will be sufficient.
There are various reasons for such
a condition. First of all, many of
the men most qualified for service
have already enlisted, many of them
since their numbers were drawn. A
large percentage of the men of draft
age are married men. Many of them
are farmers who have sole charge of
their farms, and are without help.
Many are aliens.

Harvesting is we'll under way all

and optimists bring reports verging
on each extreme. A conservative
survey of the situation brings the
conclusion that generally speaking
the crops are fair as to yield. The
total number of bushels of grain will!
not compare with some of our best
crops. However, there is better than
an average yield of more than half a
crop. And the grade of what we
have has never been better, and sci
dom as good. Record prices far above
anything known for dozens of years
before the war spell prosperity to the
farmers. The income in money for the

We are rapidly reaching the point
where each and every one of us can
fully realize that we are in for long
siege of trouble. North Da >ota's
first and second regiments of infantry
are under arms, and are ready t. leave
for any destination ut moments no
tice. In addition, some six thousand
of the flower of the states manhood
will be leaving for training camps far
removed from their homes.
With the leaving of our guard and
others comes serious question for US
to consider In case of domestic
trouble of any serious nature, what
are we to do for proper protection?
1t seems imperative that North Dako-
tn have as soon as possible third
regiment of troops, not for federal
recognition, but for the protection of
the state against any emergency.
All over the United States we are
having l. W. w. demonstrations.
There is an organization counting
hundreds of irresponsible anarchist
ic loafers whose officers are openly ad-
vocating violence as means of pick
ing up a little easy money. There
have been clashes between these men
and the citizens of other states.
North Dakota will sooner or later have
to experience the same troubles. If
a few train-loads of these l w. w. s
were to bear down upon us today, or
tomorrow, or next week, what could
we do for protection? What could
we do to guard our homes, our fam
lies, or even our growing crops? The
Record is not an advocate of mob vio-
lence. Yet, it believes in ample and
adequate armed protection. An armed
home guard could be perfected here in
Linton in no time But that would be
insufficient In other communities
this method has been resorted to {.
And their action has brought forth
from the governor of our state the
statement that they are nothing but
armed mobs, and that such proceed
ings will be vigorously suppressed in
North Dakota if any l. W. VS. come
to harm. The governor is right in
advocating strict adherence to legal
authority, but he is equally bound to
provide ample means of legal protec-
ton. He is the political product of
an organization the heads of which
for some inc = licab!e reason have
been championing the cause of these
parasites on society. The attitude OF
these men and of our governor will
sooner or later bring these human
pests down upon us in untold numbers
When that time comes what will We
be able to do for our protection?
One of the fundamentals Of law is
the right of every man to protect him
self, his family and his property al
the point of gun, if necessary. II
North Dakota is not to be provided
with the necessary home guard reg
ment, then local home guard units
will be necessary for protection. Their
the armed mobs, as they have beer
termed by the governor, will have t
do the work. Experince has taught
US that where there are L. w. W.:
in any great numbers, there we viii
find lawlessness and danger to If,
and property.
What is the answer?
The governor has intimated tina
home guard organizations will get j,
serious trouble if they attempt to taxi
measures for the protection Of thei
communities. II he is going to b
right with his people, then j: is UP &
