midable military factor inside Of
three years. Not only has she her
internal problems to adjust, but
her resources were exhausted before
the revolution came. Her railroads
have to be rebuilt, restocked and
double-tracked for thousands of
miles. In this great Galician drive
General Brussiloff found it impos-
sible to maintain great offensive
over a single-track road. He could
not unload his cars and send the
empties back, but had to topple
,hem over in the ditch and burn
them. Road-beds and rolling stock
are worn out.
Herbert C. Hoover says the war
may last five years, and others in
intimate contact with the situation
indorse his opinion. Facts support
it. Our selective armies will not be
called until September; not trained
until next summer. They cannot be
sent over until adequate transport
are provided, and General Goethals
figure that it will take eighteen
months to build 100000 tons of
ships. Our full force cannot be ex-
erted in Europe before 1919.
The outlook, then, is that Great
Britain will have to bear the brunt
of the fighting in 1913. In 1919 we
will begin to assume it. In 1920 we
should be reaching the height OF
our power, with Russia coming back
if all goes we'll with the new regime
1T Petrograd. Not until then car
we foresee the end, and before ther
there may be collapses that will put
the whole burden on us and leave
US fighting Germanys might alone
It is going to cost us billions Of
dollars and, perhaps, millions Of
men, We may suffer losses that viii
make US stagger. The prospec'
would be unendurable were we mo-
fighting for the thing that is mot
precious in life, the right of peo
pie to be masters Of their own des
tiny and not the slaves of despo
who will stop at nothing to enforce
mis- will. Our liberties and the iber
ties of all people are in our hands
We must save them or they will b,
lost. The peril is on our doorsteps
with no one to ward it off but our
selves.

A POTENTIAL ARMY

A potential army of probably ten
million young Americans came into
being Tuesday in response to the
3ugle call Of Uncle Sam. That single
fact is an impressive demonstration
Of the nations might and majesty.
It is the answer, to those croalking
critics who have charged the nation
with the loss of its soul. It shows
that they took to be evidence of the
nations apathy was in fact the
proof of its calm courage and deter
mination. It there was any hope in
Berlin-and who can doubt much
such fatuous hope was harbored?-
that the call to arms would evoke a
protest and resistance which would
prove that the government was not
supported by public sentiment in
what it had done, that hope must
nave vanished to join the multitude
# disappointments that mock Ger
man calculations. We have every
eason to feel that big job has
been done admirably. None of the
expected resistance materialized
The opposition to conscription was
evidently more noisy than numerous
something most of us doubtless felt
J to Re true all along, through it il
probable that most Of US were pre-
pared for much more opposition
than was actually shown.

All the prisoners taken by the
British have not been counted, &C.
cording to the latest official COM
munication, but included in the
number 1872 officers, many Of them
belonging to the artillery arms. The
British also have collected more
than twenty guns. The success Of
the British attack is admitted by
the Berlin war Office, which says

CAUSED SOME EXCITEMENT

Ralph Stanley was a little excited
last Friday morning when he saw a
man throw some corn over in his
pasture to his cattle grazing there
The man, wife and child, were pass
ing by Ralph's farm and when on
the Stanley bridge found some corn
on the bridge, took the best of corn
to feed their team and threw the
balance over to the cattle. Ralph
became suspicious and brought some
of the corn to town for inspection to
see II 1t contained poison, and then
had the parties held for a time. In
due time everything was explained.
s. Goodwin, while driving cattle across
the bridge early that morning, had
to scatter corn to get them over on
account of the heavy frost and, thus.
the cause of all the excitement. AS
soon as the explanation was made
the parties were released.

MADE US A PLEASANT VISIT

Hans c. Hansen, one of the pros
porous farmers of Hansen Heights,
where he owns 400 acres of land,
was in the city the fore part of the
week, and while here made this Of
flee pleasant call. MIR. Hansen is
numbered among the many Danish
farmers of Audubon and adjoining
counties who have made consider
able money in recent years buying
and selling land near Standard, AL
berta, Canada, where a Danish COL
ony was established.
Seven years ago Mr.. Hansen, S. G.
Peterson the banker, Willie Ratten-
borg, Jens Rasmussen, Jens Murthu,
Thorval Andersen and Nels Jensen
| went to Standard to invest in land.
At that time there was no railroad
and Mr.. Hansen said he drove from
! Gleason to Standard, distance of
% miles, and found only two farm
houses. Today it is all changed and
today there are fine modern homes
just like we have in Audubon coun-
ty. At that time Mr.. Hansen bought
80 acres. He found the investment
good so he continued to buy until
he had bought about four sections.
He just sold large section of
land for $50 an acre that cost him
S22, including the cost of breaking.
less than year ago, and the only
improvements he made was the
breaking of the land. The land was
sold to party near Gleason named
Christensen. Nels and Hans Ratten-
borg of Hamlin also purchased large
tracts from him until now he has
left two and one half sections. He
and Albert Jorgensen own two
large breaking and threshing out
fits and they propose to break up
this two and one half sections of
land to be put into crops next year.
The remainder of the year they ex-
pect to do breaking for others.
He could rent every acre of his
land by furnishing the seed on a
half and half basis, but he feels that
he could do better by breaking it
and putting in crops himself
Albert Jorgensen, who owns a
section of land near Standard, was
also offered $50 for his land, but he
concluded not to sell it but to keep
1t for his sons Albert and Chris, who
are farming in Canada.
