They seem determined to hold the posi-

an enveloping army over the Austrian

Trieste, Pola and the peninsula, and
then drive over the open country

He is said TO have 100000 trained
and completely equipped soldiers for
this immense task. which may be be-

show wore off many proved their abil-
ity to steal maps in spite of the con-

marines, for instance, had marched
eighteen miles after arising at $3.50

own account, but only shot craps.
When the bombardment was at its
height a hawk sailed over the field full
in the pathway of hundreds of shells.
He circled about calmly, despite the
shrieking things that whizzed by him.
and then turned contemptuously and

was disappointed at finding that the
noise Of the guns indicated only a
sham battle.
In the afternoon a French division
gave a demonstration OF an attack and
bombed the trenches, already badly
battered by the artillery fire. When
they got through Mackensen and Won
kluck were in fair shape, but there
was no recognizing Ludendorf.

The American army heard the music
of shells Yesterday. The soldiers lis
tened to the shells that roar and the
ones that split and others which mere

All these sounds were rendered bit
more nlcasant than usual by the fact
that the guns we're shooting over the

primary objects of the attack.
The French showed the Americans

Can't Stop Rise in Meat
There is nothing that can be done
TO stop the rise in meat prices if the
shortage continues. but if we stabilize
prices the rise will move at 4 contln-

price that will stimulate production and
must get that price, though there can

Miss Mullins was out of school
two days last week on account of
sickness.
Prof. Whitenack from the Normal
spent Tuesday morning visiting our
German classes.
The Junior basketball team again
demonstrated their superiority over
the Sophomores by defeating them
to tune of 80 10 5.
The literary program for next
Monday has beenpostponed because
some of the students are going to
Stout to see Normal and Stevens
Point play.
Plans are now we'll under way for
county fair 10 be held in the gym
the latter part of this month. Miss
Smith is president of the fair board
and this event promises to COM
pletely eclipse the Minnesota state
fair in all respects.
Last week the school was startled
by crashing sound as if one of the
wings of the building had caved in
but upon further inquiry they found
that about feet of the smokestack
had fallen off. 1t happened to fall
so that no damage was done.
The Normal tournament, which is
to start Thursday, promises to be
the best yet. The teams in this dis
trict are exceptionally strong this
year and on account of the large
number Of teams entered, three days
will be required to decide the win
ner. The winning team from this
section then goes to the state tourn-
ament to be held at Stout.
The annual inter-high schot de-
bate will be held in the high school

in the U. S. The questi IN is, Re-
solved: That the government should
own and operate all the steam rail-

The affirmative team composed of
Charles Cox, Philip Snodgrass and
Newton Pearson will debate at Els
worth.
Last Saturday the basketball
team went 10 Galahad to play

between trains, owing to the fact
that Baldwin cancelled their game
and the team was left without a
game, SO Mr.. Inglis of Galahad
kindly consented to let the team
take the gym, as they have a larger
floor than ours. Capt. Doc. Peter
son made visit to the public Ii
brary at Hudson and he became so
interested in his reading that he
didn't notice the time. When he
finally looked up he found that he
was locked in. He escaped without
injury, few minutes later.
