Canadian Headquarters in France,
Nov. s.-Hindenbergs orders to his
troops to retake Passchendaele at all
costs has not yet resulted in any en-
emy infantry activity before Pass
chendaele. Both yesterday and today
have been exceptionally quiet, except
for our artillery, which has been main
tanning harrassing fire on all the
routes Of approaches to the centers Of
activity in the enemy area.
Reports Of an eastward movement Of
enemy batteries possibly indicate that
he may be preparing new gun positions
to support an attack on the ridge but
in the meantime the Canadians are
preparing for all emergencies.
Two battalion commanders with their
staffs were captured in the last en-
gagement.
Lauded by German Officer.

to anything" is one captured officers
comment on the Canadians. Indeed.
the prisoners are loud in admiration OF
orr troops. esp@s4sa,!y their physique.
They are loud also IN amazed comments
on the treatment they are receiving.
The prisoners state that they received
special lectures on the ferocity Of the
British troops being told they took no
prisoners and showed the utmost
cruelty to any Germans who fell into
their hands.
Recent captures confirm the reports
of heavy enemy losses. Our troops
went over rapidly and followed the
barrage so closely that numerous
cases are reported where the enemy
had no chanca to use bis machine guns
before our infantry was on top of him.
Our countre battery work and artillery
concentrations have been so effective
that the enemy battery positions have
been constantly changed.
Great Blow to Enemy.
Two companies Of the enemy were
taken without our firing a shot on the
morning Of the 9Th. Sheltered in COW
cred shell holes from the intensity Of
our machine gun and artillery barrage
and having no facilities for mounting
their machine guns, they were captured
by our rapidly advancing men before
they could get their guns ready for ac-
ton
Heavy losses were sustained by en-
emy reinforcements both from our ar
tillery and machine gun barrage.
A There is no question that the loss
of the village is great blow to the
enemy. the officer and men captured
all emphasizing the Importance the
enemy attached to the retention Of
Passchenaaele ridge and predicting that

make a desperate effort to recapture
the position before they consent to the
winter conditions in the mud laying
in Roulers plain, which our domina-
ton ridge will impose on him.

PendletOn In Months Features

George walsh; Pasttme Today.
Colorful, gripping, filled with thrill
ing interest and exciting romance
and adventure, william Fox's newest
photoplay. "The Island Of Desire" is
destined to be the biggest motion pic
ture sensation of the year.
No expense has been spared by the
producer In making this feature a
spectacle Of unusual proportions. A
story which engrosses from its very
outset, has been admirably interpret
ed by an excellent cast Of actors
headed by George Walsh and Margar-
ct Gibson. The result is a film wor'
thy of unstinted praise.
Here are few Of the unusual, ex-
citing Incidents which make this pro-
duction masterpiece of picturizas
ton:
/. A man and a woman are be-
sieged in a rude hut on a tropical is
land of the South Pacific by two men
drunk with gin and opium. The at
tackers set fire to the house, but the
pair inside are saved by the force of
severe hurricane which sweeps
enormous trees in its path and
quenches the blaze in a torrential
downpour OF rain.
2. Later the couple is entrapped in
cave on the island, when an earth
quake causes a mass Of dirt and rock
to cover the mouth of the opening.
Within their living tomb, they cling
together. frightened by the powerful
throbs which shake the very heart of
the hills.
3. Escaping from this threatened
death. the two have barely time to es-
cape TO the open sea when terrific
volcanic explosion breaks the little
island into a thousand bits, and It
slowly sinks into the sea. while
downpour Of scalding steam and
white-hot rocks keep the refugees in
fear Of their lives.
4. Finally. aboard a boat wher9
they think safety lies they are at
tackled from within by the men who
hesieged them on the island, and
from without by a horde Of cannibals,
who are seeking shelter from the vol
cano. Fearful OF the consequences
II the savages get aboard and being
unable to keep them off in any other
way, the men on the ship hurl sticks
Of dynamite among the naked bar
barians on the RATS below It is
needless to say that these efforts of
defense are successful.

OvERALLs FOR WOMEN

As an un-settler of custom, there is
nothing like war. In the British mu-
nitions factories, where thousands OF
women are employed, skirts have been
discarded in favor Of overalls. The
latter have been found so practicable
that women in many other lines of EN-
ployment have adopted them. Today
"jeans" are seen in the kitchen, the
gardens and in all lines of industry.
And they are being introduced in
this country-not for street and dress
wear, but during working hours. When
is is question of scrubbing floors,
Cleaning house" and doing other
household tasks, there is nothing to
beat the overall to permit celebrity of
movement.
Women aviators are not even wear
ing overalls--they wear the regulation
mems trousers. The time may be
nearer than we think when the entire
dress scheme of women may topple
over and it will take Lick observa-
tory telescope or an X-ray to tell
whether the person ahead Of you is
man or woman.
If mems clothing makes for comfort,
health, convenience, why not change
the style to mems wearables.

STIMULATION OF PRODUCTION.

Nothing stimulates production like
high prices. If farmer, planter, a
manufacturer, mine owner, or what
not, sees high prices ahead, he will ex-
tend himself to the limit to cash in on
them. High prices for copper, for in
stance, has practically doubled copper
production; the same is true of other
metals. The high prices for farm
stuffs this year will stimulate planting
wonderfully. With favorable weather
we ought to be able to meet the food
issue.
Farmers who are receiving the high
prices of the present year for their
products can afford to pay higher
wages to their help. This seems the
only possible way to induce more men
to go into the harvest fields of their
own free will, farm critics say. The
idea seems logical. With the mills
and factories working at full blast,
with the army taking hundreds of
thousands of men away from civil en-
Payments, the only thing left to do is
for the country folk to compete with
the cities in money. They have never
been able to do this, but can do SO this
year if ever.

BUILDING MATERIAL.

The cost of building material is
higher than ever in the history of the
country. It has been so very high, in
fact, that there is less building in the
country than for some years past.
The government loans do not help
the building situation, from the build
ing material manufacturers stand
point. Money snat is going into the
billion dollar loans won't go into build
ing-not cent of it. 1t won't go into
a great many other things, either;
though it is doubtful if many persons
have given this phase Of government
loans a thought.
The let-up in building operations
has been so marked, it seems, that the
market for material is in danger of
being overstocked; which would be no
calamity for the ultimate consumer.

"Don't be afraid that the war is 90

Don't be afraid that the war is go
ing to prove disastrous to business
conditions" remarked E. Ellison, pro-
prietor of the Fair store to repre-
sentative of the Independent. II re-
member well how good times were
following the Civil war, and business
kept up well for a good many years
after the war was over. There is no
reason why there should be slump in
business and instead of any decline in
business there is sure to be steady
gain. 1t is up to the Northwest to do
IA large share in feeding America as
well as a large part of Europe and al
ready our products are commanding
prices never before heard Of. Europe
has borrowed billions of dollars from
America, large part of which must
be spent hight in this country for food
and other things. While this war is
to be deplored, don't for minute
think that it is going to hurt business
in this country. If you are intending
to build, don't hesitate on account of
the war. There never was such an OPP
portunity before to make money"
Mr.. Ellison is one of Minot's most
conservative businessmen and his ad-
vice carries great deal of weight

LET us DO OUR "BIT."

There seems great willingness for
everybody to do what they can during
these strenuous war times. While our
soldiers have not yet had an oppor-
tunity to see fighting, there's a vast
amount of work for all to do. Millions
of poorly fed people living in Europe
must secure provisions and America
will have to put her best foot forward
and produce as she has never produced
before. Naturally, those who will be
permitted to harvest great crops, will
reap the richest rewards in the way of
money, but we should have higher
aim in growing these crops than mere
ly getting a chance to earn more
money. The northwest never had
brighter prospects despite the war.
The wheat acreage will practically all
be in by the latter part of the week,
and this crop exceeds in acreage any
of previous years. The soil is in such
splendid condition that the farms re-
semble great gardens. For the next
two or three weeks, farmers will be
busy seeding oats, barley and flax.
Thousands Of acres of raw land will
be broken and cropped, The men liv-
ing in the towns have turned out to be
farmers and their wives "farmerettes"
for nearly everybody has a garden.
Everybody is putting in potatoes and
hundreds of men in Minot are going
into the country, where they are
planting from one to ten acres of pota-
toes. Should the assistance of the
town folks be needed when it comes
time to harvest, hundreds would be
willing to go onto the farms. A prom
inent Minot travelling man stated that
there are 300 travelling men who make
their homes in Minot and after talk
ing with several of them, he is con-
WINGED that practically all of them will
be willing to take at least week off
during harvest to assist in farm work.
This means 800 weeks of labor and
there is no question but what their as
sistance would be most valuable.
