in. to have deed set aside yhich was
given by Sylvester M. Pye, uncle of

STATE JOINS IN
FIGHT AGAINST
TRACH0MA EVIL
Emergency Commission Appro.
pirates Funds to Aid in
Stamping Out Plague

Following a conference with a
delegation representing La
Moure and Dickey counties; the
! state) of North Dakota, thru it's
emergency commission, has
elected to bear one-fourth Of the
expense Of q determined cam
paign which is to be made
against trachoma in these coun-
ties by state and federal authori-
ties. Chairman Nelson Of the
Dickey county commission,
Chairman Steen of the LaMoure
county board, Visiting Nurse
Schove and DR.. Myer called upon
Governor Frazier and placed be-
fore him the situation in their
counties, where 19 fully devel-
oped cases Of trachoma already
have been discovered. A num-
ber of patients have been re-
moved to a sanatorium in Ken
lucky, but the infection contin-
ues to spread. It is now planned
to segregate all of these victims
in a camp to- be erected in one of
the two counties. The federal
government will bear half the
expense, while the remainder
will be equally shared by Dickey
and LaMoure counties on the one
hand and the state on the other.
The origin of the epidemic OF
this strange malady, which
seems to be confined to these
two counties, is a mystery. Local
medical authorities have done
everything within their power to
check its spread and stamp it
out, but in spite Of all they could
do, the number of cases has in
creased.

(ASsOciated Press)

Field Marshal Haig's troops took the aggres-

tie front with quick and decisive results, They
compelled the Germans to give up the small bits
of grounds in the Givenchy- -Festubert sector,
which were all the enemy had to show for his
costly al-day attacks Of Thursday on this front.
The British counter blow resulted in the at
tainment Of all the objectives sought and in the
complete reestablishment Of the British line as it
existed before the Germans struck on Thursday.
The only offensive action on the German side
was reported from the British front in the Robecq
region, near the westerly tip of the Lys salient,
southwest of Merville. The enemy met no sue
cess in this local operation, the British driving him

.a >, Struggle Is Not, Over

London, April 20-Before the pres

officers in neutral countries were pre-
, pared to wager that the Germans
would succeed in dividing the forces
of the allies within fortnight, Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of blockade,
declared in speech las: night at
Hitchin.
"A month has passed and the Ger
mans have not succeeded Lord Rob.
ert continued, "but we would be wick
edly foolish if we believed the bat
tie had ended. We have an indefinite
period of terrible and strenuous
struggles before us. We must not
underrate our enemy, who has hal

But the British citizens who have
withstood the Germans for forty years
on equal terms have proved that their
valor is equal to- German training.
while recently our forces in France
have been placed under command
that great soldier. General Foch.".
Lord Robert did not think that the
enemy's formidable advantage would
decide the battle in his, favor, but
the allies must not come under the
sway of a too.easy OPTIMISM. He
concluded: - = Z. sifs.. g.e az j.;

who says the Germans desire to live.

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-04-20
RAIDING OPERATIONS

There is possible significance
in raiding operations carried out
by the British south along the
line Of the Scarpe river, just to
the southwest of Arras. Appar-
emily, it was a feeling out opera
tion to develop what forces the
Germans have ready for an at
tack in this region. 1t resulted
in the taking of prisoners and a
collection Of machine guns and
trench mortars. A German coun-
ter attack was repulsed. s1%>
1t seems not improbable that
the enemy will again assay a
drive around Arras, although he
failed signally there in the early
stages of the battle. Some way
the Germans have got to force
back the British line between
Arras and Albert before they
can go much farther ahead in
their push on the Somme battle
front, as their right flank is held
fast by the British from Vimy to
Albert and has not been able to
keep pace with their left, south
of the Somme. p. !, .<.r 4. :t;!4.
BRITISH ANCHOR ON y1MY
The British anchor point on
this line is Vimy ridge, north Of
Arras, the turning Of which
from the north has been. as
sumed to be one Of the German
objectives in driving in the sail
ent along the Lys whence they
apparently hoped to work south
ward.
Active fighting operations
have halted while each side pre-
pares for the next onslaught. It
i, not improbable that the Ger
mans will lagain attack, either
Picardy or Flanders Artois,
while over every move they
make hangs the menace Of the
allied reserve army and a coun-
ter offensive.
UNFAVORABLE WEATHER
Unfavorable weather has set
tied down upon the northern bat
tlefield, but up to the present the
Germans have selected mist and
rain and cold periods as oppor-
tune for striking and the lull in
their attack is due more prob
ably to their appalling losses,
which in the last ten days have
caused such depletions in orgaRi-
cations that offensive tactics
