NOte.-This is a tale of the war
which is told by Madeline 4. Doty, in

her book describes the situation there,
especially as it affects the women.
This true story" is enough to make
the angels weep.-EditOrs.
The sky was shining blue. The air
was still. The warmth of summer
brooded over the land. But no bird's
song broke the stiffness. No bees
tiuttered over flowers. The earth lay
torn and bare. In deep brown fur
rows of the earth, hundreds of rest
less men lay or knelt OF stood.
The land was vibrant with living ST.
lence. But now and then a gigantic
smashing roar broke the tense still
ness. Then in some spots the ground
spit forth masses of dirt, a soldier
helmet, a tattered rag of uniform, and
bits Of a human body.
1t was after such a blast that a
great winged object came speeding
from the north 1t skinned low
over the trenches and dipped, and
circled and paused above the English
line. Like q great eagle it seemed
about to rush to earth, snatch its
prey, and then be off. But as it hung
suspended another whirring monster
flew from the south. 1t winged its
way above its rival, then, turning,
plunged downward. The great can
mons grew silent. The eyes of the
pigmios in the trenches gazed sky
ward. A brc3thless terseness gripp-
cd the earth. Only sun and sky shone
ON with no whisper Of the mad fight
Of tn Sc two winged things.
For a few wild moments they rush
ed at one another. Then the bird
with wings Of white rose high, turned
back, and plunged again upon the ere
ature marked with huge, black
crosses.
1t missed it's prey, but there came
cracking sound. A puff of smoke
like a hot breath, burst from the bird
Of the iron crosses. It shUdderod
dropped, turned, and fell head down
With sweeping curves the pursuer al

eyes-a mother whose face was lined
with patient suffering. Scrawled be-
meath the portrait in boyish hand were
the words, "Meine Mutter."
A sob choked the young English
mar. Tcnderly he gathered the life
less form in his strong arms. Then
he rose and walked unhccding across
the open field of battle. But no an
cry bullets pelted after him. The
men in the trenches saw and under
stood. Behind the lines the boy laid
his burden down. Taking paper and
pencil from his pocket and placing the
little picture before him, he began to
write.
Whes he had finished he placed the
letter and portrait in carefully di-
rected envelope Then walking hur-
riedly to his machine, he prepared for
fight. Soon he was skimming low
over the enemy trenches. Leaning
out, he dropped his missile. The can
mons rOared, but no rife was turned
on the bright figure. Instinctively
men knew his deed was one Of mercy.

from q hundred .throats. Willing
messengers passed it to the rear.
Speedily it went on it's way.

with a pale face and trembling hands
fingered the white scrap of paper.

still. The third and last son had been

ing the afternoon.
To Visit Medora.
Saturday morning the visitors will
leave by special train to Medora, in
the heart of the famous Bad Lands or
North Dakota. Medora is famed
throughout the nation because of the
fact that it was Colonel Roosevelts
home town during the. years that he
spent ranching in North Dakota. The
historic old coWpuncher town was
founded in early days by Marquis de
Mores, a French idealist, who dreamed
that his town would some day become
one of the leading municipalities of
the west. He built an immense pack
ing plant. church where the people
could worship. and a beautiful chalet
where he and his wife, Medora, re-
sided.
See "Dude" Ranch.
Medora is also famous because of
the former dude ranch" to which
wealthy fasteners fiocked each sum
mer to get a taste of western cowboy
life. The ranch house on this ranch
was finished in solid mahogany, and
was one of the show places of the
west. The bridge sranniug the Little
Missouri river at this point was built
by funds raised by popular subscrip-
ton, following one of the greatest
financial campaigns ever conducted in
the state, This bridge completed
missing link in the Red trail, por-
ton of the National Parks highway
which crosses the continent.
Roundup Exhibition.
Each summer big roundup cele-
bration is staged at Medora, in which
the best broncho riders and ropers of
the cattle country participate. An
exhibition of this will be given at the
occasion of the editorial junket. A
typical ranch lunch will add greatly
to the novelty and enjoyment of the
Medora visit.
The commercial club of Dickinson
is authorizing the spending of about
81, 600 for the entertainment of the
newspaper makers of North Dakota,
upon their June visit to the Missouri
slope metropolis.

SEES DEADLOCK
IN WAR AFTER
YEARS STUDY
Magazine Writer Says West
Not Willing to "Wade
in and Lick En-"

Bismarck, N. D., May 21.-"My best
opinion, formed from more than a
years careful observation in Germany
France, the Scandinavian peninsula
and the British isles. is that the great
war will result in a deadlock" stated
Albert Jay Mock. former associate edi-
tor of The American Magazine. who
arrived in Bismarck yesterday. en-
route east from the Pacific coast.
To Make Survey in U. s.
Mr.. Mock has not yet written sum
mary OF his many months researches
in the war zone. He does not intend
to do SO until he has made a care
full survey OF the condition in our own
country. He has found little real war
sentiment in the west. There has been
no lack of patriotism, but there has,
on the other hand, been no apparent
desire to wade in and lick 'em.'
America fights best" said Mr..
Mock. when some one comes over here
and tries to shove us from our own
soil. We need a slap in the face to
arouse our lighting blood"
No Preparedness Legislation.
The magazine man commented
briefly on the dilatory tactics of con-
gress and expressed the opinion that II
American patriotism were at a. fever
heat congress would not dare pursue
the obstructive program which has
permitted five weeks OF war to pass
without single definite step toward
preparedness.
so far as / could learn during my
stay in Germany" said Mr.. Mock, 1.-THE
Fatherland never seriously consider
ed the possibility of lighting America
Our hostility did not receive much at
tention from official sources. at least
so far as surface indications are con-
cerned."
Amazed at Flax Acreage.
Mr.. Mock had not heard of the Nom
partisan league, but. learning that he
was in the storm center of the move
ment. he remained over today to call
on Governor Frazier. He is much inn
pressed with the possibilities which
North Dakota's immnese fax acreage
offers for the manufacture of paper
from flax fibre, and upon his return to
New York he may write something on
this subject.
Prior to taking up magazine work
Mr.. Mock was professor of languages
with the University of Michigan, and
he is widely recognized as a scholar
and writer.
