The Germans have been show ing the English and Italians hard for the past week, and from re- ports have been getting little the best of the fight; but such little changes will "cut no ice" in the general outcome of the conflict. The allies are going to win this war, sooner or later. When the American soldiers are thoroughly trained and get to Europe in full force something will be doing, and Germany will realize that it will have more to contend with than 1t ever thought of before.

Still COLDER

Will it ever let up? The past week
has been bitterly cold Since Wednes-
day the temperature has been hover
ing about zero in the day time and
way below during the nights. Wednes-
day night zero weather was touched;
Thursday night it went to IA below;
Saturday, IT, Sunday it was zero
weather all day, the warmest point
touched was 2 degrees below. Sunday
night was the seyerest of the winter
rs below, and at o'clock Monday
morning it was still 26 below. Wau-
sau and vicinity had the distinction of
being the coolest spot in the country.
The places reported by the weather
bureau were as follows, all below
zero: Chicago, 4; Dubuque, II; Du-
luth, IA; La Crosse, 20; Madison, IA;
Milwaukee, 6; Moorhead, 2; st. Paul,
16; Wausau, &c, and Winnipeg, 6.
The weather bureau promises us
warmer weather commencing yester-
day, and sure enough, there has been
radical change. The wind turned
square to the south at noon and we
are now enjoying the pleasure again
of breathing without having our
breath freeze up on us. 1t is now 20
above and if it goes up much higher
we look for straw hats to come out
and for some cases of sun stroke.
