One of our exchanges wonders what
Fritz and Gretchen are going to get
for Christmas and suggests that the
children of America forward Christ
mas presents to the little children of
Germany as they did the first year of
the war. The spirit of Christmas Civ
ing is splendid thing, but what about
the poor little children of Belgium,
that portion of France overrun by the
Teutons, the poor little children of
English towns whose homes have been
destroyed by the bombs of the air
raiders, the starving little children of
Serbia and Roumania and the unfortu-
nate youngsters of northern Italy, to
say nothing Of those little Armenians
who have escaped the knives Of the
murderous Turks, who are the leu
tonic allies. Of course we feel sorry
for little Fritz and Gretchen. They
are innocent, for this war is not of
their making, but it appears that we
will have our hands full looking after
the needs of those we have mentioned
above. And then we have our own lit
tie ones to look after. In the tenement
quarters of our own large cities, there
will be plenty of suffering among the
children Of the needy families on
Christmas morning. Charity begins at
home.

Washington tells us that the SECOND
year of the war is going to be just as
expensive as the first.
For the fiscal year beginning next
July 1, ordinary disbursements, not
including loans to allies or interest or
bonds yet to be authorized, are esti-
mated at $12,7O1 100000, as compared
with $12,306,0 100000 for the current
year ending June 80, 1918. This esti-
mate includes interest on the $780,
100000 government securities already
authorized.
A large part of the sum must be
raised by bonds. Secretary McAddoo
already has announced that $10,000,-
100000 will have to be provided by is
suance of bonds or treasury certifi-
Gates between now and June 30 to
meet huge government expenditures
and allied loans.
So don't worry about not being able
to help in the great struggle if you
are too old to fight. Uncle Sam will
gladly accept your financial assist
ance.

Death at Caroline Talley Home in
MinOt Guilty of Manslaughter
in First Degree.

Alice Sullivan, who shot and killed
her husband, John n. Sullivan, at the
home of Mrs. Caroline Talley in this
city on the afternoon of Oct. 8, was
| found guilty of manslaughter in the
first degree by jury in district court
| Monday night at 10 o'clock. The case
had gone to the jury at four o'clock
that afternoon.
The prosecution was in the hands of
States Attorney Herigstad. Sinkler
and Eide appeared for the defense.
From evidence brought out, it ap-
peared that Sullivan had come home
intoxicated that morning. She I'M
dressed him and put him to bed and
in the afternoon he awoke and called
for drink of water. She got him the
water whereupon he began to abuse
her, she said. She knew what was
coming, so ran into the next room,
followed by Sullivan. She grabbed a
.38 Colts revolver and met her hus-
band in the hallway and they Crap
pied. She shot him thru the mouth
and he fell to the floor dead. The
woman declared the doors were lock-
ed and she knew she could not get
away from her Infatuated husband.
Mrs. Sullivan is 40 years old and
appears to be about 80. She has a
daughter 20 years of age and a son
of 10 living in St. Paul Sullivan for
merly was engaged in the saloon bus
mess in Plentywood, Mont.
The state produced evidence to show
that Mrs. Sullivan made an admis-
sion that her husband brot home
bottle of whiskey and that she had
taken drink with him. The defense
produced evidence to SOW that Sulli-
van at times had treated his wife in
brutal manner, dragging her about
by the hair, for instance. The de-
Tense showed that after Mrs. Sullivan
had shot her husband, she got towels
and sat down beside the body and at

According to an article in the Sat
urday Evening Post, it would not be
at all surprising if Sweden eventu-
ally entered the war on the side of
Germany. Sweden is now receiving
coal from Germany but her supply of
food is becoming very scarce. 1t is
possible that since the Allies have
placed an embargo on food going to
Sweden, which formerly got to Ger
many thru that country, that Sweden
will soon have to look to Germany for
considerable of her food supply. Swed-
en- has her eyes on Finland and Ger
many might tempt her with offering
her that portion Of Russia. Sweden
has half million of well trained SOL
diers who would cut some figure if
they entered the war against the AL
lies.

Miss Titiana Nicholaevna Romanoff,
second daughter Of the deposed En-
peror of Russia, has arrived in San
Francisco, having escaped from ST.
IBERIA. She was not given an official
welcome but was met by the wife of a
wealthy American banker, who has
spent considerable time in Russia.
Miss Romanoff will work for Russian
civilian relief while in this country.
Perhaps if she had brot along some Of
her mothers costly jewels she might
have realized large sum from the
sale. If Miss Romanoff wants to do
something useful, she might find some
sort of work in America at good
wages. People Of her sort, however,
are not looking for work. She prob
ably wants notoriety. Americans
ought to give her no. more attention
than they would any other Russian
young woman who CHANGED to visit
our shores.

The Germans are now using a new
form of deadly arsene gas, which they
drop in bombs on villages. Reports
have been received that this new gas
has been dropped on French villages
and being heavier than air, it settles
down over the homes bringing death
to the villagers. Gas masks are said
to be unable to cope with this latest
method of Teutonic destruction and
there are grave fears as to the con-
sequences. The Allies will have to
flight the devil with fire" and claim
reprisals in a similar manner if the
Teutons persist in using these ter
rible methods.

trI3r:


The BritiAh army under General
Byng. attacked 32-mile sector of
the German line in the neighborhood
of Cambria, driving the enemy back
distance Of five or six miles, infict-
ing terrible loss Of life and resulting
in the capture of 10000 German pris-
oners. The British casualties were
less than the number of German pris-
oners taken. The fighting was impor-
tant because of the methods employed
by the British. Instead of announcing
to the Germans by means of barrage
that they were coming, they went in
to the attack without any such prepar-
alton and caught the Germans I'M
awares. They captured 200 large
guns and other valuable equipment.
The British delight in bayonet fight
ing with which they have become ex-
pert. British air planes took part in
the battle which lasted for several
days, flying within thirty feet of the
ground, dropping bombs on groups of
German soldiers and on munition wag-
ons. The airplanes attacked the Ger
man infantry with machine guns with
deadly effect. There were many mi
4aSaAouo eSCdpSS OIl LIlc part OIL Tie dN-
lators, many of whom returned to the
British lines with numerous bullet
holes thru their clothing. 1t begins to
look as if the British are going to
force open fighting from now on. 1t
costs more men than trench warfar ire,
but when one figures the detectives
gained, there is on actual saving of
men and time. For instance, in this
drive lasting day or two, ground was
taken which could not have been Sc
cured in less than months of fighting
under the old methods. Germans do
not like open fighting. They like to
dig themselves in When forced to
open fighting, they fight well only
when in mass formation. Break them
up into small groups and they become
bewildered. This isn't because they
are not brave, but on account of the
way they have been taught to fight
They have been taught to obey COM
mands and when there is no one to
command them, they do not fight well
on their own initiative, it is said. The
British are now within three miles CT
the ancient city of Cambria, which has
been used as supply center by the
Germans as they realize that it will
be sad blow if they are compelled to
give it up.

What difference between Ameri-
can and German methods. When an
American destroyer damaged a Ger
man U-boat, the German sailors
jumped into the water and swan to-
wards the American boat. American
sailors plunged into the water to save
the enemy, took them on board and
gave them steaming hot coffee and
warm clothing. They appeared espec-
tally fond of American shoes, which
were the first they had ever worn
Americans will fight like men, hon.
oring the captured enemy. One of the
Germans who died from injury, was
buried with full military honors.

Social diseases in the army have
become more than a question of NOR
ais and pity; they have become also a
question of winning battles, declares
Bishop William Lawrence of the Mas
sachusetts Episcopal diocese. The
Bishop quotes figures from the sur
geon generals office showing that
from 1911 to 1913 one recruit out of
every six was diseased. Loose women
always hang around army camps if
permitted to do so and then follows
the horror of the most terrifying and
wasteful diseases going thru the in
nocent homes Of the country, the
Bishop declares 1t is the duty Of the
medical profession to give the facts.

Fifteen-year-old boys are now fight
ing with the German army, according
to reports which were recently receiv-
ed in America. When these young
lads are captured they cry for their
"mudders," the reports say, and they
are glad to be out of the battle for
good. The German soldiers appear to
be thoroly sick of the war and if the
fighting could be confined to few of
the officers higher up, the war would
not last long.

This is a good suggestion. Many flags

any resemblanc to Old Glory. We no.
tice in particular that the flag on the
