Menace.

Washington. Nov. 26.-1n the first
statement he has ever authorized in
connection With the progress made in
Increasing General Pershing's forces,
Secretary OF War Baker says that the
arrival of American trops In France
had kept pace with the expectations of
the War department.
Mr.. Baker declined, however, to
state the number of troops forwarded
or to indicate whether he anticipated
delay from this time. Movement of
the forces. he said, depended on two
elements, the training and equipment
of the men and the availability Of
ships.
"AS fast as the men are ready ships
will be made available" the secretary
said. ''As many American troops are
now overseas as we expected in the
beginning to have overseas at this
time"
Will Loosen Censorship.
Mr.. Baker indicated that an official
statement of the number of American
troops in France was not to be ex-
pccted at any time during the war. He
caused an inquiry to be made of the
military censor, Major General Mc1n-
tyre, however. which may result in
more liberal regulations as to the pub
lication of the designation Of the regi.
ments. brigades or companies, which
are engaged in action on the front
from time to time. II there Is no
sound military reason for suppressing
that information, Mr.. Baker said, he
desired to give it out.
1 The secretarys attention was called
to tho fact that British official state
ments recently have named at least
by geographical designation the troops
used in various ofrensives. Apparently
a new policy in this regard has been
adopted in London and the War de-
partment may do likewise. ~

EASY PICKING
STRANGER GIVEN WHOLESALE
CREDIT ON "WIND"
Then Gets Away With Automobile
Bought on "Wind"-Town

Gwinner, Nov. 22-About two weeks
ago, a farm laborer, then man about
to draw large sum of money, trifie
later a prosperous restaurant man and
today a fugitive from justice sounds
much like moving picture dramas
where ones blood curdles for the
small sum Of a dime, but it contains
the truth of the entrance and exit of
D. R, Bowen, who for few days prior
to last Monday conducted restaurant
in Gwinner on a scale never before
attempted by onyone outside of the
Twin Cities. Cooks and mattresses
were employed at fabulous salaries,
money was cast to the four winds of
publicity, automobiles purchased and
smooth stories told in a manner that
would put finish to Brewster's Mil
lions without further worry.
d. r. Bowen came here about two
months ago and secured employment
with II. o. Satire as farm laborer.
About two weeks ago he decided to
invest his accumulated capital which
he said was banked in the east some
where, and forthwith purchased the
drug store here. His money would be
here in a few days and in the mean
time he would, of course, be forced
to operate largely on that commodity
which some people peddle SO frequent
ly and is commonly called wind. How
ever g. mortgage was given in the
sum Of $500 but no money was then
available on the said mortgage, but
that did not hinder him from giving
check for the purchase price of the
place. OF course the check could not
be paid but all would be well and that
famous piece of paper was carried
about several days. Then commenced
the work Of stocking the restaurant
up and merchandise was purchased to
the tune Of several hundred dollars,
candy was bought by the wagonload
and groceries and meat were easy to
get as was also printing. Everything
went lovely and business increased by
leaps and bounds, the cash for which
was jammed down deep into his pock-
cts. Then to be sport right he pur-
chased H. Q. Satre's Buick roadster
for $3.50. for which a post dated check
was accepted as his roll" was not on
record In the bank yet and Mr.. Satire

sed away Monday. Nov. 18th at seven
p. m. at Lincoln. Neb. The remains
were brought to Glendale, Thursday
| morning, where the funeral services
were conducted by the Christian
Scientists, and interment made in the
Glendale cemetery. by the side of her
mother.
Ella ]. Denison came to Guelph, N.
d., in June 1883. to be with her
mother, Mrs. Sarah Denison, and
brothers, Frank and Charley, WHO
lived on a farm one mile north of
there. On July 8, 1896, she was mar
ried to Orion P. Emmons, in the
Methodist church at Ludden. They
have made their home in Dickey
county until last June, when they
moved to Lincoln, so that Mr.. EN-
mons could be at home more, as he
was obliged to spend most of his time
in that section of the country.
Mrs. Emmons became a member Of
the Christian Science church in June,
! 1915. She was a woman of high and
noble ideals, and was ever striving to
perfect them; kind neighbor; most
helpful companion for her husband
and beloved by all her household.
Those who will greatly miss her
gentle and, loving presence, besides
her husband; a sister, Mrs. w. N.
Bateman and her family of Aberdeen,
S. D., and two brothers. Frank and
Charley Denison and families of
Guelph.
These words from the poem, "Our
Resurrection" seem most applicable.
They convey a comforting thought
that the writer cannot express:
"Out of all discord and toll and fear,
Into loves cloudless atmosphere;
Out-ef the finite sense of things,
Into the Joy the Infinite brings,
This is her resurrection"

Ford Offers France Tractors

Dearborn, Mich, Nov. 16-Henry
Ford has offered to. supply France
with 10000 Ford tractors after the
5000 now building for England are
completed. If this offer is accepted,
further delay in placing the tractor on
the American market will be neces-
sary. The present English order will
keep the plant busy until early in the
spring; and if France desires tractors,
America will not get them until late
summer. Many additions are being
made on the plant, and production is
increasing.

Os0Cs W. nOooIds
Pittsburgh, Nov 26.-Unless inter.
nal disorders Of Russia are subdued
and cooperation of the Russian troops
is guaranteed, the Entente powers
need expect little assistance from
their Japanese ally on the Eastern
front, declared A. Kasama, member
of the Japanese imperial railway COM
mission, in an address here.
1T would be of little value to send
assistance to Russia as long as the
people are quarreli1g among them
selves. Until cooperation of Russian
troops can be secured, in my opinion,
Japan will not send any men to their
assistance. But IL that cooperation
can be guaranteed, Japan will send
all the men that is necessary, not
only to the Eastern front, but to the.
Western front ALSO"

RELIGION BY HyPooERMlc
By I. GETTEMwELL. D. c.

By I. GETTEMWELL, d. G.
DR.. Harold Solem, N. D., hands the
following to The Times for publ
cation:
Say, neighbor, have you heard the
news about the preachers scheme
To make this world a perfect world,
and stamp out vice and sin?
You haven't? No? Then let me tell
you how it comes about
That they are going to save mankind,
and drive the devil out.
They say that sin is just a germ which
breeds and multipiies;
And every impulse to do right, these
germs antagonize.
To prove their point, they tell you
how the bible says that sin
And evl thoughts and witkedness,
come from the heart within.
And though they preach and sing and
pray, and stamp their feet and shout,
The preacher never yet has known,
whose preaching preached sin out.
And by reverse. the preacher can not
preach religion in,
Until the germs are all cleared out,
that fill the heart with sin.
And so they have devised scheme
they think it sure to- win,
By which to purge the, human heart
of every trace of sin.
They're going to make strong ex-
tract of moral filth and slime,
And every wicked, fostering sin, and
rottenness and crime;
And pump the stuff into the heart by
hypodermic means.
And VIXEN it gets there, so they say,
the clearing out begins;
For every little devil-germ will be SO
badly "scairt,"
He'll quickly take running jump.
and leave that sinners heart.
They haven't said exactly how they'll
drive these big ones out;
But certainly the preachers know just
what they are about.
don't suppose l ought to doubt a
thing the preachers say;
But certain questions trouble me a
most distressing way.
Of course, it's well to cleanse the
heart from every little sin;
But should think 'twould make one
worse to put worse sin,germs ia. ~
And when what's In the heart works
out lthis thought do deplore):
The sinner. + should think would be
worse than he was before.
And now a secret has leaked out, they
didn't mean to tell:
They're going to charge dollar per,
and thus their incomes swell.
For vaccination only gives one years
immunity;
And every year they'll vaccinate each
whole community.
Also. another bit of news was. whis-
pered in my ear,
Which I suspect shouldn't tell; but
it won't keep. fear.
The doctors say the preachers scheme
will work with perfect ease;
And 80 they're going to vacclnate 10
drive out all disease.
From sores on sick cow, they'll take
some nasty, rotten pus;
And with their hypodermic pump,
they'll squirt it into us.
They claim twill give immunity from
every old disease, -
Until the doctors think they want an
other batch of fees.
Now, believe this scheme will work
Just like the other will;
For if man was sick before, he'd
then be sicker still.
For if germs ever cause disease, more
germs would make it worse,
And they who ought to bless the world
would make themselves a curse.
tell you, friend, entertain sneak
ing sort of fear
That if we'd search our wood-pile
through, we'd find niger there;
For vaccination, l observe, involves
money fee,
So they're inclined to want to force
their fads on you and me.
