which diminished fortitude We
are nearing a period when the
Allied populations in the west,
upon whose staunchness the con.
| tinuance Of the war will depend,
may be sorely tried.
| Whatever privations we may
have to face the enemy will al
ways be much worse off, and tn At
point will be greatly in our
favour. The sooner we adopt
compulsory rations in Great Bri-
tain. the better, but it is best not
| to hurry the Government until
| their scheme is ready. A bad sys-
tenn of compulsory rationing
would be Of no avail. A muddle
has already been made of the
comparatively simple proposals
| for sugar tickets. Personally. /
think rationing should be limited
to few of the principal food
stutfs, and fear that, however
carefully the scheme is framed
it's first result will be great
waste of perishable foodstuffs
which will spoil because people
will not be permitted to buy them.
1t will take some time to produce
smooth working.
OF the third great factor, the
appearance Of the United States
in the field, little need be said.
For months to come we must rely
chiefly upon ourselves, and as the
enemy are girding themselves
afresh we must throw our whole
weight into the war without think
ing too much about help from else

cans will not umble about the
war as our own statesmen have
done in the past. They will profit
by our mistakes and they will I've

ing "the rigour of the game. "
They mean business, and we have
no use for the Thirty Years War
spirit.
But while the Americans are
preparing great armies the enemy
are finding new armies now. They
are finding them on the Russian
front. The present basis Of their
calculations is that they can antic-
ipate the United States on the
western front, and that is the
GREAT new factor which we must
fact without delay.

NEW FACTORS IN THE WAR,
The Enemy Are Finding Fresh
Armies Now.

The subioined article repro
duced from the Daily Mail OF
London was sent to Mr.. f. Il
Dauterive by his son DR.. HENRY
Dauterive who is located at base
hospital in Scotland. The article
speaks for itself;

time they have been visible.
| will only refer to three Of
these factors. The first is the IN
remission of hostilities on the
Russian front, which is at length
enabling the enemy to divert
much Of their strength elsewhere.
The second is the steady dlminu-
ton of the worlds food reserves
which is already causing grave
shortage in many belllgerent
countries, and may eventually
evolve a situation approximating
to semi-famine. To the second
factor must he added the scarcely
less grave lack Of fuel. largely
WONG to diminished means OF DIS
tribution. The third factor:
which tells wholly in favour OF
the Allies, is the approaching ap-
pearance Of the United States IN
the battle-line.

IN Russia is assuredly transient.

AMERICAN TROOPS
MARCH IN LONDON

London, Augs 15-American troops
marched through London today. They
were reviewed by Ambassador Page

Americans were checred by soldiers
on the way to the front and by wound

POPE PENNED
PEACE NOTE
TO NATIONS
Proposals Written Entirely by
Hand of Benedict After Con-
sulting Cardinals
ITALIAN PRESS DECLARES
PAPAL APPEAL IMPRESSIVE

Rome, Aug. l5-The peace prOpos-
ais of Pope Benedict were written en-
tirely in his own handwriting. The
pope consulted Cardinal Gasparri, pa,
pal secretary of state; Archbishop
Ceretti, assistant secretary of state
and Monsignor Tedeschini, papal un,
der-secretary of state, in formulating
the documents. Archbishop Ceretti
who arrived recently from America,
where he stopped on his journey from
Australia, is now supervising transla-
tion of the communication into Eng
lish.
The Giornale de Italia says the pa
pal appeal is the most impressive and
most concrete ever addressed to the
belligerents, giving them the general
line on which peace negotiations may
be initiated. 1t adds: .. ,.... ,.. 80
''"The explicit terms in which the
note Is worded led to the supposition
that the intentions of the two bellig-
erent groups are not In absolute con-
fict with the ideas and hopes OF the
pope" - ''/ .
The Tribuna says the peace propos-
ais were made on an Independent in
itiative and that the entente powers
will not feel in any constrained to
accept them, although they will re-
ceive them with the Difference due to
the sender.
FOLIO POPE
CANNOT BE- ACCEPTED.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 15.-Admin-
istration officials today awaited the
text of Pope Benedict's leace pro-
posals before giving any intimation
of the nature of the reply to be given
the vatican.
That the peace offer will require an
answer is acknowledged by officials,
but it is believed that the interests
of the allies require rejection. 1t
is virtually certain that the proposal
cannot be accepted in its present
form.
The Corriere d'Italia, semi-official or
gan of the vatican, says that in the
course of arbitration destined to avoid
future conflicts the pontical authori-
ties will be worthy of being repre-
sented, being guarantee of the dis
interested protection Of the people.
The proposals were sent by courl-
ers to the European governments. Ar
rangements were made to cable the
documents from England to Washing
ton and Toxic on account of the time
which would be required to forward
it to those points by courier or mail.

SUM WILL BE RAISED

Washington, Aug. 15.-Congression-
al leaders were Informed by Secre.
tary McAdoo today that it would be
necessary for them to authorize at
this and the winter session of con
gress, an additional $9,00O0OO,00O for
war expenditures, including further

Five billions in bonds already have
been authorized and $4,000, 100000

senate.
, Within an hour after the secretary
had conferred with Representative
Kitchin, chairman of the house ways
and means committee, plans were un.
der way for raising the money. A
meeting Of the ways and means com
mittee was called for August Is, and
arrangements made for the house,
now taking three days recess, to re-

No delay in either authorization is
anticipated.
The plan Is to have the remainder

December. Whether it will be raised
by bonds or additional taxation or in
what proportion of both, Is undecid

VOLUNTARY ENuSTMEN1S
WILL Be ACCEPTED, SAYS
LOCAL RECRUITING CHIEF
Corrects Erroneous Impression
That Draft Has Stopped Re-
cruiting Quotas Growing

The general supposition that volun
tary enlistments for the regular and
national< army will not be accepted
since the universal service draft has
gone into effect is erroneous, says
Sergt. John B. Keerams, local recruit
ing officer. '>.
Any person over 1S and under Al
years OF age, WHO has not been mott
fed of his selection for service, may,
if he SO desires, voluntarily enlist for
the regular or national army.
At present there are vacancies in
the infantry, medical department
quartermaster corps, aviation section
signal corps and field artillery.
In the infantry and medical depart
hent men without any special train
ing may be accepted For the quar-
termaster corps there are vacancies
for cooks and bakers, and for enlist
ment as privates for the position or
teamsters, cooks, clerks and buglers.
The aviation section signal corps is
particularly in need of machinists, me-
chanics, carpenters, blacksmiths, en-
gine repair men, chauffeurs and, In
fact, all classes Of skilled labor. En-
listments in the field artillery are at
presnt limited to 40 month from
each recruiting district.
During the month of July the state
Of Forth Dakota increased its quota
for the regular army from 25.3 per
cent to $50 per cent, and for the
first ten days Of August there has
been a still greater increase in the
of men accepted at Bismarck,
Fargo and Minot.
Letters received at the local re-
cruiting Office from two of Bismarck's S
young men, f. A. Roberts and James
Mcclellan, show that they have pass
ed through their recruit training and
are now stationed permanently at
Fort BENJAMIN Harrison, 1ndianapo-
lis.
Twenty-seven men have been ac-
,epted at the local recruiting station

month.

FRAZIER TELLS
HOW HOME GUARD
MUST OPERATE

Governor Lynn j. Frazier, who has
been subjected to some criticism since
the issuance of his famous 81. w. W."
proclamation, which Arthur LIE Seuer
is alleged to have CHARMED RESPONSE
ibility for in statement to Governor
Norbeck of South Dakota, showed
that he is not altogether out of sym
pathy with the movement for the or
ganization of home guard units in this
state today wen he issued to county
authorities throughout the state a cir
cular letter quoting a section from an
act of congress approved June A.,
1917, defining the method by which
home guard units may be formed.
The section embodied in Governor
F'razier's letter follows: w.
"Only such home guards as have the
larry or such other home guards as
are organized under direction of the
governors of the several states and
the territories and the commissioners
of the District of Columbia, rendering
actual services of the following char
acter, may receive equipment, and to
the extent that available supplies will
permit The services to be performed
will be the protection of the property
of the United States, or the protection
of transportation lines where neces-
sary, or the protection of supplies in
the course of manufacture for the Uni
ted States, and including rights of way
of railroads, bridges, etc. These guards
