removed his family from Grand Forks
to their former home at Osnabrock.

Hannah it is rumored is to belthe
scene of a matrimonial drama this
week that is shaping into quite a so.
ciety event.
Miss Hannah Rose, of Hannah, is
among those receiving diplomas at the
commencement week exercises of the
University of North Dakota.
Anew record that exceeds the speed
limit has been made between Hannah
and Sarles in which the distance has
been covered in %thirty-two minutes.
From Edmonton, Alta, P. W. Ault
writes parties at Hannah that crop
prospects around there could not be
much brighter at this season. Rains
have been frequent since spring
opened.
Joe Snowfeld, son of Magnus
Snowtield, of Byron township, brought
his career at the state university to a
highly creditable close last week,
when he graduated from the law
school with the degree of L. L. D.
An analysis made at the University
of North Dakota shows that the sus-
picion of the poisoning of A. A.
Scott's horse at Hannah, was a cor
rect one. The poison proved to be
strychnine mixed with the feed. The
case is now being followed up by the
authorities.

in charge of the M. E. church at
Bowesmount, has been transferred to
the churches at Milton and Osabrock.
succeeding Rev. Samuel Newloye.
whose illness of several months past
of Bright's disease finally compells
his retirement from active church
work.
Wales is noted as due for an inter.
esting discourse by a non-partisan
speaker on Saturday. "Those inter.
ested will be there and those not in.
terested might learn something if they
are there" So saith the Wales Pro.
gress. There will doubtless be an.
other "open letter" in one of on,
county contemporaries anent the event
of Saturday at Wales.

The score. was held down to 81 in

used to be the Winnipeg Beach club

Hannah's organization of the Red
Cross society got actively to work
last Monday on a weeks campaign to
help in raising Cavalier county's share
of the $500, 900, 600 national Red
Cross fund. Messrs. Alex Reid and

have organized an auto campaign

The larva or smooth caterpillar -eof q

having three or four middle segmcnts suf-
fused or darkencd in such a manner as
to give it the appearances. Of being. dis

one and one-half inches in length, and is
probably the largest stalk borer found In
this country. The moth il medium gray

particularly affects thick stemmed plants
such as tomato, potato, young corn. 0kra,
pepper, egg plant, blackberry, raspberry
and currant stems, and occasionally at
tacks other plants. including strawberry,

A TACTLGSS TIKI.

The other day the German En-
peror, accompanied by the brutal
faced Won Hindenbug, the harsh
Ludendorff and others of his military
satraps. attended a solemn religious
service in the Berlin cathedral. The
text of the sermon was taken from
the93d Psalm, fourth verse.
1.-THE Lord on High is m3ghtier
than the noise on many waters; yea.
than the mighty waves Of the sea-
1t was a singularly tactless text,
no matter what twist the obsequious
court chaplain gave to it, If the en-
peror and his companions in ruthless
ness have any imagination, the beau
tiful old lines from the Psalm must
have called up grisly pictures.
There is an icy sea, and a German
torpedo rims out the heart of the
Lusitania, sending men. women and
children into the deep to drown like
rats. There are despairing cries of
IlLllt OIto- Hci Z ttiC tiitNit-So Sos'''t'''
of mothers with their babes. There
are heart-broken. groans from men
who cannot help their beloved
There is a noise on many waters
the noise of exploding tornedoes Of
rending timbers, Of sucking whirl-
pools, of agonized human beings. IT
is noise that proclaims German hui-
tur. that annonces the ocean is no
longer everyonc's free highway. 1t
ius a noise that says men may be
murdered while following their law
ful business on the high seas.
But, says the text "The lord on
High is mightier than the noise Oh
many waters And there is faith
in the world that will not falter;
that in its own good time and in its
own way Providence will bring down
til murderers Of the innocent, the
ravages of the world, the disturbers
of the peace.
In all history it has usually been
so that they who rule by the sword
perish by the sword; they who glory
in blood, sink in blood; they who
drown the world in tears OF agony
are themselves drowned.

HAZARD OF THE SOLDIERS.

Staggering as are the totals OF
killed and wounded on the battlefelds
| of Europe. the fact remains hat the
hazard of the soldier today in France
is automatically far below that
faced by a participant in the civil
| war. says the Atlanta Constitution
In one month of bombing and
trench warfare France and Great
Britain lost i'll killed and wounded
| $4,000 men. according to an unthen-
tic report-which is enough to make
the world throw up its hands in hor-
| ror
But when it is remembered that a
total of 100000 soldiers were en-
gagged and subject to the same dan
gers to which their $4,000 comrades
fell victim, the percentage of casual
ties is brought down to less than six
per cent.
In twelve hours fighting at Ante
tam 10000 Union and Confederate
soldiers were killed or wounded-or
20 per cent Of the forces engaged.
And taking the war as a whole, the
hazard Of the civil war soldier was
almost four times as great as is that
ct the soldier in France.
This is largely accounted for in
The modern methods of fighting. as
compared with the old Trench war
fare is greatly responsible for the
greatly decreased percentage of loss

Military experts tell us that if the
armies now engaged in the greatest
OF all wars had continued to follow
the open warfare methods that mark
ed the early days Of the war-and
that characterized the methods en-
ploYed in the civil war-the opposing
armies long ago would have been an

original army sent to France by Eng
land at the beginning of the war was
practically destroyed during the first
six months.
That was because they pursued the
open warfare tactics. But the sue
cessors of those unfortunate fellows
soon learned to dig themselves in;
with the result that the percentage
Of casualties is greatly decreased.
1t is true that modern weapons

struCtion; but to Offset that fact.

GREAT CARE REQUIRED.

In these times, newspapers must be
exceptionally careful with respect to
the matter which they publish. Close
scrutiny should be kept, not only on
news and editorial articles. but also
on advertisements.
The kissimmee (FIa) Gazette is
just now suffering a hold-up in the
mails, its last weeks issue having
been denied circulation through the
postoffice, because of the publication
therein of an advertisement solicit
ing funds with which to test the con
stitutionality OF the selective draft
law.
The publishers of the Gazette make
the statement that the advertisement
lin no wise represents the attitude
or opinion OF this paper, but was
printed in the same spirit of fairness
which we have always tried to mani
fest, that of giving both sides to ev-
cry question an opportunity to place
their views before the public"
The News has not seen The adver-
tisement which brought this trouble
upon the esteemed Gazette and re
grets the difficulty which has result
ed from its publication. AS general
proposition. however. no newspaper
should give publicity 10 any matter
tending to obstruct the government in
its plans for creating national
army. The selective draft is the &C
cepted plan Of the government. adopt
ed by congress and approved by the
president. The time to have opposed
that plan was before it became the
law OF the land, the adopted process
by which the government is going
about obtaining forces for carrying
on the war Opposition to this plan
now, when it is in process, cannot
be considered as other than seditious
and treasonable-and particularly
that phase OF opposition to it which
seeks to raise funds from American
citizens, whose duty il is to support
the government, with the object of
defeating the purposes Of the gov
ment
The truth is that movements like
that which actuated the publication
of this advertisement ought to be
discountenanced and discouraged by
all newspapers and all good citizens
and no newspaper should lend the
publicity Of its columns to such
schemes. which can accomplish moth
ing save to stir up and spread spirit
OF distrust and discomfort which may
develop into something most hntful,
if not destructive, to the patriotic
solidarity of the nation i'll a crisis
which demands the unrestricted ser
vice and the unlimited loyalty of ev-
cry man. woman and child beneath
the flag.
