.THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There has been nothing Of special zig.
nificance occurring in northern France
this week. The French and British ap.
pear to be resting and consolidating pre-.
paratory to later assaults.
The Italians have made some progress
in their new attack on the Austrisns
with Trieste as their object. They have
taken some prisoners.
The Russian revolutionary factions
have patched up temporary peace
among themselves and tendencies oi
the Russian soldier in the field to kiss
their opponent from Germany who are
Supposed to be enemies, has been check
ed by the government leaders. How
ever, there is no fighting of any account
going on along the Russian lines.
All things point to terrific struggle
in northern France before many weeks
which may prove to be the decisive con.
fict Of the war.
A returned Canadian soldier told US
to day that 1t was the general opinion Of
the British soldiers that when north.
ern France was won that the German
opposition would collapse because they
believe that Germay has all its strength
at the front, with little or no reserve al
home.

coNscRlPrloN IN CANADA.

Canada is about to conscript men for
the army. The government over there
thought they would be able to raise an
army of halt million men by volunteer.
ing, but now the number of volunteers
barely keeps up the present forces in the
field, which are considerably short Of
the promised 100000.
They have learned over there volun-
teering is not the best or fairest way to
get soldiers. They will however discover
stronger opposition to conscription now
than If they had started in that way at
first.
The labor organization leaders are
strongly opposed to consumption, which
is partially true of this country rs we'll.
The fact that the United States has
started with conscription has had a
stsong effect towards the same process
in Canada.

We want to say that without Dragging
the Pembina people should be proud of
the athletic records of the high school
boys in the last series OF years. When
one takes into consideration the fact
that 1t takes about all the able bodied
boys in the high school to make foot.
ball team and that the school has never
sent more than about half dozen boys
to county and state meets in competition
with schools of the larger cities where
the selected competitors are taken from
one to two hundred boys, their contin.
uous victories on the athletic fields are
certainly remarkable. Knowing that in
past years Pemblna has had high school
teams that have excelled in aehletics, lit
was not thought that this yoar the rec.
ord could be continued, but the boys
returned from Grand Forks Sunday
night with both the banner for the meet
and the handicap trophy, and the points
were made by just four boys-and there
were about l5O boys entered as competi-
tors from all parts of the state. Wonder
if there isn't something in this northern
climate? Anyway we are quite certain
that no other school in the state has
won so many points on the athletic fields
during the last ten years as the Pembina
high school, Notwithstanding its CON-
paratively small size.

RAILROAD MANAGEMENT
FAvORING CONSOLIDATION.

One Of the results Of the entrance of
this country into the world war is a
matter which will have continuing
results and probably will be Of great
Importance to all people and particularly
to the western producers.
Last winter owing to various causes
there was q veritnble blockade Of freight
on the railways. and especially on east
ern bound stuff. This is condition
which might happen at any time of
special pressure OF goods in transit.
The War Department will certainly
need railaoad transportation to move
troops aud munitions. In order to facil.
ltate such movement it has been neces.
sary to practically consolidate all railway
systems under one management, and
such board of management is about
taking charge.
A writer In current magazine calls
attention to the fact that now there is
no such thing as through line of rail
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
All passengers must change cars at Chi
cago, St.Louis or similar terminal of
eastern and western systems. Freight
cars. though they may 60 through, have
to be transferred from one system to
another at these points making long
delays.
AS the writer points out there is no
good reason why trains of both passenger
aud freight cars should not be hauled
clear through, just as they are made, up
on either the Atlantic or Pacific coast.
Between Chicago and the Twin Cities
there are half dozen rival railways.
Each of these roads in competition with
each other must and do run magnificent
passenger trains on the same schedule of
time as the others. 1t is evident that if
these roads were all under one manage.
ment and run for convenience, speed
and profit, cutting out the rivalry, that
the puplIc would be served equally as
we'll to passenger service and that
freight would never be contested be-
tween tsese two points.
When the time occurs that the North
Dakota farmer can send carload of
wheat direct to Buffalo or New York
city 1t may make difference in price as
he would then be able to cut out the
Minneapolis middle man and his profit.

All Pembina boys, no matter
where they are when they en-
list, should be careful to re-
gister from Pembina as their
home town. Each town or ci-
ty will be called upon by the
government to furnish a GER
tain number of men. We do
not know whether these pre-
liminary enIistments will be
credited to the quota or not
but we want the credit local
Iy anyway.

woMEN's WORK.

The tendency of Christian civilization
has always been to elevate woman. Per-
hsps that ls the greatest distinction to.
day between civilized nations and those
still in greater or lesser bar rbarism.
But recent years, particularly during
the last half century, there have been
remarkable advances even in the more
enlightened lands. Fifty years ago
about all that the women were asking
for was equal protection in person and
property under the laws of the state.
Now woman sits in the. national House
of Representatives as a national law
maker.
Today women occupy places and posi-
tions and influence public affairs with
power not dreamed of by their mothers.
Whether all these steps in advance have
been always made in the best direction
is still questionable, and can only bo
answered IN time and by time. Exper-
fence is the proof of the pudding.
But we men may as we'll understand
that the women are now component
part of the people. Women have come
and come to stay. They have bitten
into the political and social apples of
discord-and somehow most of them
like the taste.
The gentler sex Gf we may still use
that old-fashloned term) have shown
faculty for society organizations that
has far overreached the gregariousness
of men. They began largely with church
work and now a church without liza
dies Aid" and perhaps half dozen
other female societies Herewith con-
we'll there isn't any such church
in existence.
As cleanliness is next to ygodliness 1t
was an easy transition for the ladies to
"Civic Leagues" and similar organiza-
tions for the public good in their own
localities.
The spread of universal education,
and the more common "co.ed" higher
education, has been an incentive to
innumerable Literary, "Study" and
"Music" clubs, while the "Red Cross
society appealed to these women with a
far stronger call than it ever can do
with the men for natural reasons.
But withal, men are men and women
are women. God forbid that woman
should ever be else than woman. The
term Of equality" does not apply to the
sexes. A pound Of butter and pound
Of sand are not equal except in weight.
They are not comparable because they
are different. Occasionally We see a
woman of whom it is said s.she is mas
culine." Once in while we call man
ss Of feminine nature. Ia the latter
case and sometimes in the former case
the term is not complimentary. But
these cases prove the rule. Women and
men are different, different physically
and therefore mentally.
Men as whole are pleased to see
women taking the more prominent parts
In public and social life. But how far
this should be carried is another ques-
tion. The wife is the queen Of the home
and the husband is the provider and
defender. These natural occupations
cannot be reversed with benefit to either
or both. Hence woman's public activi-
tiss should have md No believe in prac-
