WE HEAR FROM TOwNLEY

Saturday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Elliott dropped into " Office and pre-
scented us with q little token in the way Of a notice of retracton" the same
being signed by A. G. Towney. Apparently it is q real "Aerotyped" form,
which Mr.. Townley is using in this state and Minnesota, and which is being
served on any paper which takes hits gentleman to task, and no doubt is being
done for the purpose of inimidating them. This notice is signed by A. c.
Towney, but is being sent out by his attorney VIM. Lemke, who may we'll be
classed in the Townley bunch. 1t asks to retract an article which appeared
in the World under date of October II, and which article was copied from the
Advocate, the Union labor paper published at Fargo. Up to the present time
the Advocate has not been served with any notice to retract, although that
paper is published in Fargo, where MI. Townley edits two newspapers, the
Leader and the Courier News. We~ould suggest that Mr.. Townley take the
matter up with the papers of his home town, before reaching out to other
parts of the state, but tit is very evident that he does not want to get before an
American jury in Fargo, and therefore is not so free to serve his notices there.
We would suggest to Mr.. Townley that we have lived and published a news
paper in Ramsey county for the past ~ years, and that if he is anxiously
looking for us, that we can be found at u Office in Devils Lake at almost any
time,a and we might suggest that there n many good citizens in this county
who would like to see MI. Towney before a real American jury, and if he is
really counting trouble that he knows where to find u.s.. The article was TAX
en- form a reputable newspaper, copied by us the same IS was done by other
papers of the state, and until w re convinced that the article is not the
truth, We have no particular retrachon to make. If Townly and Lemke are
looking for more trouble than they have on their hands at present, W will
meet them half way.

SAYS
MOUSE RIVER
NAWGAbLE

Minot, N. D., Oct. 31.-In a decision
handed down by Judge c. w. Buttz,
the Mouse river is declared to be nav
The decision refuses the in
junction sought in the district court
by DR.. Carr and others against motor
boat owners who operate boats on the
river. The grounds for the action
were that the boats made waves
which washed away property in the
city, and the city park board was per-
mitted to act as co-defendant when
the action was heard. The move on
the part of the park board created a
surprise, as DR.. Carr, was a member
of the board. It is very probable that
an appeal will be made to the supreme
court, which body gave a decision
some years ago declaring that the
stream was not navigable.

EuLoGlzEs THE WRONG DOG
EIoquenee Of Tactful Attorney Credited
70 Newspaper Story and He
Loses His Case.

An old man vas arrested for beat.

to have him put under a peace bond.
Thinking the case too osmal for him
to bother with. relates Case and Com
ment, the county attorney asked Judge
Albert D.. Norton, then. a young law
yer, to appear for the state at the
trial. An attorney. from Macon-a
man who had quite i reputation as q
'pleader"-went over toadefent the old
man. Curled in front Of the defendant
was a yellow dog. Vests "Eulogy Of
the Dog" had recently appeared in
some paper. It was not nearly SO ia.

So we'll was it delivered some Of the
jurymen cried. All looked toward the
aged defendant sympathetically. 1t is
said that even the dogs eyes were
moist. 1t was pretty clear the defend
ants lawyer had things coming his
way; but Norton had the windup, and
during the noon recess he hunted up
a paper which had the dog speech in
1t. This he produced and read to the
jury in the afternoon, word for word
as opposing counsel recited, and which
the jury thought was original.
"You see, gentlemen of the jury"
said Norton. Senator Vest was talking
about another dog altogether. He
never heard Of this yellow curl"
The jury found the defendant guilty.

LET JAPAN HELP

John F. Ross, one of the most widely experienced of the Ameri-
can wal correspondents, notes the lack of coordination in the or
erations of the Allies armies and contrasts it with the centralized
efficiency which the German military machine ha saways been
able to show. His words come most timely at this juncture, when
a war-conference of the Allies is soon to be held and when the
United States, through Pershing. and possibly, others, is preparing
to take part in the discussion which will then be held.
The American representatives at that meeting should insist
upon each of the Allies taking up that portion of the burden of war
fare which it can best carry. The United States, for instance,
since its formal entrance in to the war, has assumed the financial
and economic burdens of the Allies which Great Britain formerly
carried. And we are expected, when spring comes, if not sooner.
to relieve France of a good portion of the military load under which
she has been staggering.
Japan, on the other hand, though having taken to herself the
German possessions in the Far East, has made slight contribution
to the Allied cause beyond the furnishing of munitions to Russia
for which she has been paid-and the floating of a small issue of
Russian securities in the Japanese market. The forthcoming war
conference should decide upon Japan's further part in the ho;hli-
ties.
Japan is expected to release some of her shipping from the Pa
cfc for use on the Atlantic, where the German submarine has de-
pleted the Allied tonnage. This is a valuable help; but can be en-
HANGED by sending the japanese ships via the Suez rather than
the Panama Canal and by having them loaded with soldiers who
shall be %disembarked at Saloniki, where they viii strengthen SarJ
rails forces so that, stimulous with the spring drive in the West,
there may be a big push in the East with the result that as the
Hun is pushed back to the Rhine, his allies may be cut off from
him.
The war cannot be won upon one front aone-and if the United
States really is to take a position of leadership we cannot begin
too soon to formulate plans, not only for ourselves, but for our Al
lies as we'll.

COURT HOLDS
LAW IS VALID

DR.. c. ]. McGurren, Secretary of the
State Board of Health, has received
notice that the Judge of the Ninth Ju-
dicial district has held that the law re-
quiring that all school children must
be vaccinated before entering school is
valid and that the State Board of
Health has the power to make such
regulations relative to vaccination as
the said board shall deem fit. This is
a test case and will undoubtedly be ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court for a fl
nal decision.

Rugby, N. D., Oct S1.-Stephalnic
Koviac, turned back at New York last
winter in an. effort to join his family
in Austria, where his wife and several
children reside, was found wandering
about the Mears farm demented and in
a pitiable condition. Deputy Sheriff
Harnit was called to take the unfor-
tunate in charge. His experience in
New York, where he was not only pre-
vented from embarking for Austria,
but during his stay in the city was
robbed of 5000, all the money he had
in the world, has prayed on Koviac's
mind until he has apparently lost his
reason. When taken up he had no
heavy clothing and was half frozen.

The Simple Breakfast.

Over, under and through all eating,
the simple breakfast still stands su.
preme, declares A. ]. r., in the Mime
apolis Journal. A glass of water, a
cereal OF wheat biscuit with cream in
abundance and a peach from Colorado
sliced in, two slices Of bacon not so
crisp that they break, two slices of
homemade bread comfortably toasted,
a cup of coffee poured upon the cream
and sugar and stopped at exactly the
right color, two of mothers dough-
nuts and, as you leave the table with
q sigh Of relief, If it be possible to get
the hooks on one of baby's bits Of choc-
