A FRIENDLY TOUCH.

In a trench we were all the same
If our shoulders touched 1t was not
half bad:
Come gas or the tearing shrapnel hail,
not go mad.
It's the lone memory I've brought back
From the twelve months bit where
the best have died
Nothing mattered If a man might feel
The flesh of a comrade at his side.
I've seen them fall, and the next man,
Still doing his work, quite uncon-
sciously
Sidewise would edge till his sleeve
could rub
The sleeve of another for company.

with them at their regular monthly
meeting at the Civic Centre saturday
Minneapolis, who is we'll known in both
Minnesota and South Dakota as a suf-

in the work in this state. Miss Mana
han gave a very interesting talk on
the various ways in which Minnesota
suffragists are raising their pledge for
this year, which amounts to $50, 1000.
Hennepin county alone has pledged it
and, better still, has nearly all of its
share already raised. Many are giving
outright of their means for the cause,
and sales and entertainments of differ
sf1t kinds are proving profitable. The
workers in that state believe in con-
gressional and county organizers, and
large sums are also being spent in cir

Lord Robert Cecll Announces i""'
Views Will be Exchanged Before

London, Aug. 21.-Lord Robert
Cecil, Minister of Blockade and Un-
der-Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
announced in the House of Commons
Yesterday that the entente allied gov
ernments would hold g conference
before a reply to the Pope's peace
proposals. would be sent to the Vati-
can.
Lord CeciPs statement in the Brit
ish Parliament yesterday that the
entente governments would hold a
conference before replying to Pope
Benedict's peace proposals is under
stood at the State Department. as
meaning that the governments will
exchange views, not that there is to
be gathering of Premiers or For
eign Ministers for formal confer
ence.
So far there has been no occasion
for the State Department to join
any of the several conferences
which have been held in the capitals
of the entente nations during the
war, though American army and ma
val officers have taken part in some
of the deliberations of the technlcal
men. This attitude on the part OF
the United States government is un-
derstood to have been due to no LACK
of sympathy or determination to CO.
operate fully, but rather to the con-
viction that so far these conferences
have had to do with strictly Euro.
pean' issues.
No such limitation applies to the
Pope's peace proposals, of course, as
these touch interests vital to the
United States. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the necessary measure OF
cooperation between the nations a
war with Germany can be secured
through cabled exchanges and con
ferences between the diplomatic rep
resentatives.

changes woud begin very soon

Torrent of Steel and Fire Descends
on Germans From North. Sea to
Switzerland.

With the French armies in the
field, Aug 21.-The greatest battle
of the world war is being fought to
day.
From the seacoast to the Swiss
frontier--over 435 miles-the alliec
forces are fighting a practically con-
tinuous offensive.
Frances great assault at Verdun
still driving on today, completes the
chain of battles which are welded
in the forge of war into one gigan-
tic action of unprecedented extent
and power.
The great battle started with thS
Anglo-French offensive in Flanders,
extended to the British offensive at
Lens, thence to the French attacks
around st. Quentin, then to the
French offensives at Chemin des
DANES, Moronvillers, and Verdun,
and concluded with heavy artillery
fighting in Lorraine and Alsace down
to Switzerland.
The western front has never seen
such an extensive battle. Nor has
the allies superiority everywhere
been SO asserted.
With three more months of fight
ing weather this year, Germany's
hold on the western front may be-
come precarious before winter.
Perfect coordination of stategy
undcrlies the British and French at
tacks. They have been so timed as
to convert all the fighting into one
great battle.
