AMERICAN SOLDIERS TAKE
A GERMAN PRISONER

The Associated Press tells Of the
capture Of Hun by American Expe-
dictionary forces this week. "The
first German prisoner Of war died
Monday in an American field hos.
pital, having been shot when he en-
countered an American patrol in Nc
Mans Land in front of the American
trenches.
He, with another German, was dis
covered Saturday night by the patrol
and was called upon to halt. The
Germans ran; the patrol fired and
one Of the enemy was hit. The pris-
oner was treated at q dressing sta
ton and removed to field hospital
where the combined efforts of sew
eral surgeons failed to save his life
The prisoner was a mail carrier
and letters Of some value were fount
on him. He explained his presenc,
near the American trenches, saying
he had lost his way in the dark. HI
declares that the German soldier
did not know that Americans wer,
on the front or in France, the off

MEMORIES.

For the second time, Memorial day
sees the American republic engaged
in war-to benefit humanity.
For the second time, while the ne
roes who wore the blue or the gray
in 1861 are passing in ever diminish.
ing review, other heroes, their sons
and grandsons, are marching off to
rededicate in libertys name the ma
ton that was saved for freedom by
Grant at Appomattox.
Nineteen years ago it was bleeding
Cuba for whose sake young Ameri-
cans donned the uniform and sailed
forth to GUST the oppressor.
Today our sympathies are aroused
to the actually of war by the suffer-
ings of Belgium, Serbia, Poland, Mon
tenegro and the dangers of France
and all democracy.
Herein lies our pledge to the brave
men Of 81 that their heritage has
not been forgotten; that Americans
today, as then, stand ready to lay
down their lives for an ideal
HoK their hearts must thrill :, as
they niarch todfS behind theEafe and
drumF through thS aas.tsckeds streets,
in the knowledge that other men are
taking up their burden;s and are pre-
pairing to sacrifice their, lives, if need
be, that the republic may insure for
the future years, peace without dis
honor.
What sorrow must mix with their
pride fas they realize that, though
their steps swill soon cease forever,
generations to come will continue the
beautiful custom of Memorial day,
and ever thinning ranks will wear,
not the blue of 1861, but the olive
drab of 1917!

the American ships arrived there q
few days ago to go into action against
the U-bOats.
1--WE can start at once"
That was the truly American way
of answering. There was the real
American spirit.
The reply of this American COM
mander is fit to 60 down in our ma
tional story along with Admiral
Dewey's famous, you may fire when
you are ready, Gridley."
The words of this American naval
commander, first into the war zone
with the Stars and Stripes, ought to
be made our national slogan. "We
can start at once
Congress ought to adopt that slo-
gan and start.
1--WE can start at once" says the
American naval commander.
We have some more talking to do"
says Congress.
Every American citizen ought to
take it upon himself to see that 1--WE
can start at once" becomes our-nas
tional slogan-and that we live up
to it. + y
We have two billion bond issue
before us now to pay for our war
work.
When can we get this bond issue
bought up?
F "We can start at once!"
We can start at once to forget that
this is make-believe war. The
words Of this gallant American have
sent flash through US and we know
now that we are knee deep; in war.
= We can start at once to literally
make this old nation boil and hum
with the industry of winning the war,
all down the line.
I'VE can start at Once," and we in
tend to finish on time!

Contemplate AMERICANS.

When England came into the war,
all the Germans made light of the
military aid the British could render
and spoke with sneers of the "con-
temptible little British army"
According to the Prussian mind,
this army was contemplate because
it was small, because it's members
voluntarily enlisted for the service
and were paid better stipend than
is the rule in Germany. Forsooth,
therefore, they were mercenaries and
would give the Germans small worry.
Some of the kaiser's best generals
learned differently in the great re-
treat to the Marine and in every
place where they encountered the
sturdy little company from the Brit
ish Isles.
Now America is in the war and
what the German press once said of
British troops, it now says of the
Americans. Listen to the hoarse bel.
low of the Cologne Volkszeitung:
mot mother in Germany will put
the American soldier even to so mean
usage as DOGGY with which to
brighten her naughty children. We
are practically certain, as all Ger
mans are, that since the days of that
wretched piece of sham fighting
known as the Spanish war, when the
American mountain brought forth
such a ridiculous mouse, the United
States army. though it may have as
sumed some of the external charac-
teristics of the present day, has un-
dergone practically no change for the
better.
"lts spirit, which is purely and blat-
antly mercenary, is the same and this
will be proved when the time comes
If it ever does--when the Yankee
hosts once again 60 forth to meet the
enemy
We have sort of sneaking suspi-
cion that the editor of the Cologne
paper and those whom his writings
fool are going to have sudden
awakening when Black Jack Pershing
and his crack troops get into the
lighting line. And they will only be
the advance guard of the hundreds
of thousands of Americans who will
be pitting their love of liberty against
German fealty to royal house which
has ,deluded itself into belief that
its power comes from divinity itself.

To Have Waterworks

otherwise be waste is feature Of the
town. 1t is the only mill Of its
kind in the section. The tow mill
contemplates branching out into side
lines that may eventually lead to the
employment of a great many people.

1t is said that no new town in the
state, in point of population, perman-
ent buildings, both business blocks

he is, that no town ever was, or ever
will be, equal to Parshall. Every
farmer who does his trading in PARISH
, all is as loyal to the town as those
who live in it.
The government, speaking of the
Berthold reservation in which Parshail
lies, makes the statement: 1T has

did the other day-but what he did
Is sign that we have moved be-
You'd the ideas of old time jurists, as
we have moved beyond many other
customs and ideas of older times.
This jurist had before him a man
accused of stealing parcel post pack
ages. The verdict was guilty. The
sentence was to be Imprisonment.
Fut wait! The prisoner was mar
ireland in two months a baby was
to be born.
Here was where modern practice
broke with the old.

the judge, "but | don't want to send
you away now. If let you 20 will
you come back like man after you,

"I will" said the prisoner.

kind. 1t warns one around the hear,

justice.
