New York Times: There is some
thing else about the war news that
stirs the American heart. The Ger

cans" in the air battles in the Artols.
the Aisne. the Champagne, and the
Vosges regions. This can mean moth
ing excent that the permission accord
ed by the French government has been
availed OF and that the Americans,
who for two years have been fighting
under the French flag, are now going
into action under their own. The
stars and stripes are flying in the bat
tie for the redemption of France. The
British are now giving out casualty
lists Of Americans. giving their names
and addresses.
An American casualty list. given out
by the Canadian government at
Ottawa. recorded the names of the
Americans killed and wounded in the
battle OF Vimy Ridge. Two were kill
ed. Lieut.. III. p. Bowker OF Seattle,
Wash. and Lieutenant Lisle Cradock
Ramsay OF Montclair. N. ]. Two
heutenants and seven enlisted men
were wounded: and 1t is peculiarly
significant that on this casualty list of
eleven Americans shot down in the
taking OF the long embattled ridge,
six of the names are those OF men
from the middle west. one from the
mountain states. one from the Paci-
fic slope. three from the east.

men are representing" the west in
one way. these young men are repre-
senting it in another way and the way
most characteristic Of its history. One
Of them comes from Faribault. Mimi,
and his name is Olson: his home and
his name are significant. Only two of
the middle westerners came from
large city, Lieutenant Banks of Cleve-
land and Private Carpenter. OF Des
Moines; perhaps some men in Wash
ington were needlessly worried about
the effect OF the pacifist propaganda on
the rural districts.

The Orpheum stock season closes
this evening, the last appearance of
the company today marking the con-
clusion of very successful season.
The members of the company have
won their way into the hearts Of the
theatregoers Of Fargo as no other
company of players have. The
excellent offerings throughout the
year were highly appreciated. as were
the services rendered the various clubs
and lodges of the city by members Of
the company.
The company was directed by
George V. Halliday, who is largely
responsible for the seasons success.
Mr.. Halliday recently purchased a
home on Seventh street south in this
city, and intends to make Fargo his
permanent home.
Walter Robinson, unknown to
the majority of people. served all year
in the capacity OF stage manager as
well as having played many comedy
and character parts with much credit
The fact that he remained in the good
graces of the other players while act
ing as stage manager is commendable,
for reasons known especially to those
in the profession. He expects to be
with his brother in the auto business
in Cincinnati for the summer. Mr.. Robin
son came here directly from New
York.
j. Francis O'Rejlly was here all sea-
son, and made many personal friends.
He played many characters during the
season, from a feminine role to that

Ward Cassidy has played heavy
parts in the same satisfying Cassidy
style. He has made Fargo four sea-
sons and every season has proved
more popular. He expects to spend
the summer at the home of his mother
in Salt Lake City.
Roy Van FosSem. who spent the last
of the season here, played character
parts with much sincerity. He will
spend his vacation at Crystal Lake,
Michigan, where he has a summer
home. Mrs. Van Fossem. known to
friends of the stock company as Miss
Porter. will leave with him. Miss
Porter added much to the plays in
which she participated.

Albert Patterson has probably play
ed the leading parts in about 80 per
cent Of the seasons plays with much
credit to himself. One little realizes
the mental strain of memorizing such
roles as Mr.. Patterson has been taking
al season. To every role he has
added that something that successfully

DEVOTION TO SERVICE
SAVES OLD FLAGSHIP

Newport, Il. l., June 30.--The story
of the devotion to duty of the engine
room crew of the United States cruiser
Olympia which probably saved Ad-
iniral Dewey's famous old flagship
from going to the bottom off Block
island when she struck an unchar-
tered rock late Monday night, came
out today. When the ship struck her
port engines were put out OF COM
mission and water poured into the en-
CINE room. Her momentum carried
the cruiser into deep water where she
was in imminent danger of sinking.
When Captain Waldo Evans tele-
phoned down for more steam in order
to bring his ship into shallow water
where he could beach her. the engine
room crew responded to a man. Stand
ing In water up to their waists they
kept the starboard engine running and
drove the ship ahead until she brought
up on a shoal.
Naval officers tonight hoped the
Olympia would be saved. She is rest
ing easily and efforts to pump her out
will begin Monday.

GERMANS FORTIFYING
AGAINST RUSSIANS
Return of Fighting Spirit
Stops Fraternization.

Petrograd, Friday. June 29.--CDe-
layed In transmission.) Renewed ac-
tivity of the Germans indicated in the
reports from the front in the last few
days presumably is the result of a re-
vival of the Russian fighting spirit and
n joint conviction that separate peace
is impossible.
One correspondent at Mansik said
that the Germans are terrifying their
trenches and creating a new defensive
line 20 miles beyond the first in prep
aration for a retreat. F'raternization,
the correspondent says. has entirely
ceased. The Germans have returned
to their former system of propaganda,
dropping from airplancs pamphlets
calling abuse of Russia and her allies.
From the Riga front comes IA sim
liar report. The Germans there are
said to be terrifying their lines and to
have been obliged to ask for REIN
forcements.
