1. The state is pretty we'll stocked
up with wet goods which with proper
conservation ought to last several
months. Six car loads of whiskey

fore the law went into effect, bound

liquor into the state but offenders
should remember that they will have
Uncle Sam to deal with and he will
not show any mercy.

Three cheers for Russia. During
three days Of fighting the Russians
took 10000 prisoners and several i'm
portant points. The Russian army is
again in good fighting trim and will
keep the Kaiser's army interested
along the east front. 1t is wonder
that there was not more serious
trouble in clearing up the trouble that
arose in the Russian army The

The farmers of northwestern North
Dakota have taken heart after a series
of good rains which visited many sec
tons on the Fourth. They do not
hope to raise much of a crop this year,
in fact under the most favorable con-
ditions, they cannot hope to produce
more than a quarter to half an or
binary crop, but the rains mean much
to them. 1t means that they will prob
ably be able to rake and scrape to-
gether enough feed for their stock,
although this will be by no means an
easy matter. Oats and barley ought

CASUALTY LISTS

The New York Mail is not inclined
to hedge and squirm about casualty
lists. Boldly it publishes certain fig
uers and with equally bold comment
as follows:
owe now have on hand both British
and German official casualty lists of
the month of May. During that
month, the British lost 1928 men,
while the Germans lost 110,956.
"The allied drive in May was shared
by the British and the French, and it
is fair to assume that the casualties
were about equally divided between
them. It is probably proper to accept
the statement of military authorities
that, even with the heaviest use of ar
tillery, the attackers in modern trench
warfare lost twice as many as the de-
tenders.
There are no illusions in England
and France as to the cost of driving
the Germans out Of occupied territory.
There should be no Illusions on the
subject in this country. Gen. PERISH
ing's men will be welcomed on the
western front for more material rea-
sons than because of the moral uplift
which their presence will give to the
allies. There is real fighting for us
to do"
