AIRMEN PLAY BIG
ROLE AT CAMBRIA

The work. of British airplanes dur
ing the battle of Cambria forms a
grapuhic chapter in itself. Despite
the vile weather which compelled
them to Operate within a few feet
of the ground, they kept steadily at
their task and rendered invaluable
assistance both in reconnaissance OPP
perations.
There have been almost continual
battles between German infantry and
British aviators flying as low as thir-
ty feet above the ground. Never be-
fore has this kind of warfare been
vcarried out on such a large scale.
Pilots have attacked infantry and gun
crews Unfortunately wherever they
encountered them and have inflicted
heavy casualties on the enemy with
bombs and machine guns.
The nature Of the fighting can be
seen from the experience of a British
pilot, whose machine was literally
shot to pieces by rife and machine
gun fire and who finally crashed
down behind his own lines with ten
bullet holes through his clothing. al
though he himself was unhurt-
Many Of the aviators had miracu-
lous escapes from death and some, Of
course, have paid the full price and
have gone to swell the toll Of brave
men who have given their lives for
their king and country. Among the
hairbreadth escapes reported is that

torn to pieces while he was fighting

PEACE is
PREACHED IN GERMANY

Berlin, Dec. 15.-Intellectual bar
riers which separate Germany from
"other democratic people of the
world" gradually must disappear as
serts Theodor Wolff in the Tageblatt
because Germany has approached a
political system Of parliamentary
governed states. The aim of a dem
ocratic peace" he continues, "must
be to prevent the erection of any po-
litical barriers or the perpetuation of
such as may be our growth of hatred.
Will the peace cry coming from St.
Petersburg be heard everywhere
Will America, too, realize that in
Germany the will of the people is
powerful enough to create a new or
der of things and that an enlightened
statecraft no longer is automatically
opposing it,"

SMUGGLING FOOD
TO HUNS PRACTICED

Berne, Dec. 15.-Smuggling of
foodstuffs into Germany Is still prac
ticed in ingenious and unexpected
ways. The other night a party of
about fifty persons crossed the from
tier to take part in a masked ball in
a little Swiss town. Towards mid
night they returned in automobiles,
which were warned to stoy at the
frontier.
No notice being taken Of the worn.
ing, the sentinels fired, and brought
the cars to a standstill. The occu-
pants, most of whom were discov-
cred to be German soldiers, succeeded
in making tEeir escape, but the cars,
in which were hidden large quantities
Of soap, chocolate, butter. leather and
fats, were seized by the authorities.

barring streams, turn a continuous

similarly, from Minnesota ON the east
to Montana on the west.

The growth of North Dakota has
naturally been accompanied by a
growth of urban centers, centers of
culture and social life. Fargo, in the
east, is the metropolis, and a solid and
substantial city. But wherever one
goes he finds in towns, as we'll as on
farmsteads, evidences Of thrift and
energy well directed. Everywhere
there are testimonials to the high
