With South African CONTINGENT of
British Armies in France, Jan. g.
South African troops-men from the
mines and farms of the gold country
are now serving their first winter in
the field in France and are distinguish
ing themselves with many deeds of
daring and valor. Some Of them
fought in the Boer war, and among
them there are several Americans
who had made their homes in the
African mining fields. One of the
most thrilling exploits of the South
Africans was the recent act of a
young subaltern. During a night oper-
alton he became separated from his
company and found himself inside the
German lines. After a time he picked
up six more men of his company who
had become similarly detached. When
dawn came the little group found it,
self practically surrounded by Ger
mans. The young subaltern found
that his rifle and those of his COM
rades had become so clogged with
mud that they wouldn't work, but he
grew his revolver and as the first
German approached he shot him dead.
ward was also killed. and as daylight
came two Of the subaltern's COM
tpanions got their rifles working and
succeeded in killing twelve members
OF the surrounding party and captur-
ing twenty-five. Forming their Ger.
man prisoners into "a ring the South
Africans got inside of the circle and
deliberately marched their prisoners
over the German first lines and all
got home safely amid great jubilation
among their comrades.

mality a tall officer entered. shook
hands, shed his overcoat, which he
threw on bed, and embarked in in
formal conversation. 1t was Poland's
future sovereign who had thus made
his way to the hotel room without
even calling the services of an at
tendant when he learned that a cor
respondent of an American news
agency was there.
The Archduke conversed with the
greatest cordially, displaying an in
Innate knowledge and keen interest
concerning conditions of American
life, and volunteered his assistance to
facilitate the newspapermar1's work.
He was particularly impressed with
the Importance of the press in Amer
lea and lamented the fact that the
newspapers did not play such a role
in Austria Hungary He voiced as
well as manifested his belief in demo-
cratic customs and declared that he
had deliberately urged two of his
youngest sons. who had graduated
from the Austrian Military Academy
the day before, to take commissions
in ordinary line regiments instead Of
in one of the favorite guard organiza-
tons. In the thick of the fighting in
the Carpathians the Archduke has
been living as simply as his subal-
terms, learning at first hand the en-
vironment OF. the officers and soldiers
from the ranks of his people. His two
sons have followed his suggestion, like
their elder brother, Charles Albert
and have entered line regiments. the

LIQUOR AFFECTS
CRAFTSMANSHIP
(By Associated Preas.l

Munich, Germany Jan. 2.-Tests
recently conducted by the Bavarian
ministry of war upon the effect of al
cohol on Workmanship were carried
out by twenty marksmen on twenty
test days. the total number of shots
fired being over $4,000. The results
showed, according to Prof. DR.. Kraep-
lin whose Seport on the subject is re-
printed in The Military Weekly, an
average falling off in craftsmanship of
about three per cent as the result OF
the consumption of forty grams of
alcohol, corresponding roughly to the
amount contained in a liter os beer.
The effect was most perceptible twen-
ty-five to thirty minutes after abb
sorbing the alcohol. Most of the
marksmen shot even worse than the
average, several of them eight. ten
and even twelve per cent worse. One
of the amusing sidelights on the tests
was that several of the rif1emen in
sisted not only that they could but
actually were shooting better after
getting the spirits while in reality
their craftsmanship had fallen off as
much as ten per cent.

will be practically non existant before

a day, IL the war is indefinitely pro-
longed, when the necessary economy
of medical men can only be obtained
by mobilization of the whole of the
available supply, SO that calls can be
made upon individual services when
and where required 1t has long been

AS the year 1917 opens we wish to
say another word of appreciation for
the splendid volume of business given
us by our. friends both in Fargo and
over the northwest. Our business
grew wonderfully last year and to all
who have given US orders we are ex-
tremely grateful.
1t is pertinent at this time to say
that we are going to sell our entire
line of special nd-tailored suits and
overcoats at the same prices we have
given for the past few months. No in
crease in prices will be made - but
there will be advance in styles and
workmanship. i
We wish to thank all who have
given us orders, whether in the city
or from the outside territory, from
which large volume of business has
been received and to one and all we
wish a most prosperous New Year.
