The wiping out of the German salt
ent at Messines apparently is merely
the prelude to far mightier battle.
After German reaction of surpris.
ing character, the British have re-
sumed trench raids from north of
Ypres to as far south as Epehy, 10
miles as the crow flies, but far more
than that along the windings of the
battle fronts.
Voluntary Retirement.
The official announcement of raids
north of Ypres is especially interest

reported heavy artillery fire on the
Belgian front Some weeks ago the
Germans made voluntary retirement
from in front of the Belgian lines.
From Ypres the allied front curves

their great submarine bases on the

St. Paul, Mimi, June 1.-THE Ma

The statement says:

"The position of the league is not
one of opposition to the sale Of the
Liberty bonds, nor to any ,Other step
taken by the government to prosecute
the war League speakers, however,
have reserved the right and have con
sidered it their patriotic duty to pub

which will better serve to concentrate
the full resources of the nation in the
task of bringing the war to a sue
cessful conclusion. They believe that
rather than load burden OF debts on

Contradictory Reports.
Contradictory reports concerning
the attitude of the league in North
Dakota, and the statement by Cover
nor Wold of the Reserve bank in Min
neapolis, that the league was oppos-
ing the sale of the bonds, brought
forth the statement today. In the alb
sence of President Townley, Joseph
Colbert, manager of the organization
department OF the league, added the
following:
What we are opposed to in this
Liberty Loan business is this: We
are opposed to using a species. of CO.
erclon in getting already poorly paid
employees to purchase Liberty bonds,
and then let those excess profits
which have been made as direct re-
suit of the war go to private stock
holders, for instance, the Du Pont
Powder company and the United
States Steel corporation. Our con-
tention is that when the government
needs money to finance the war, let
it take these immense profits of the
munitions makers.
Further, we say that in state of
war, the government should control
the necessities of life, and make the
prices for producers and consumers"
