SISSETON INDIANS PARTICIPATE
In PATRIOTIC AFFAIR.

Sisseton, July 31.-An interesting
patriotic service was held at the
Goodwill Indian mission church near
Sisseton, during which the service
flag of the mission, bearing three
stars was raised. Rev. Mr.. Brown
and Rev. Mr.. Long, of Browns Valley,
Mimi, and Rev. Mr.. Irwin, of Sisse-
ton, took part in the services, with
Joe Brown acting as interpreter, and
the Rev. John Eastman, a Sioux In
dian, gave an eloquent address in the
Sioux language. The pastor OF the
mission, Rev. Mr.. Head, had general
charge of the services, which were
most impressive. In addition to the
three young Indians already in the
service, a number more will go to
the front soon.
Rev. John Eastman is general mis-
sionary for the Indian Presbyterian
church, his jurisdiction including In
dian missions in South Dakota, North
Dakota and Montana, and he reports
a very patriotic feeling among the
Indians in their relation to the war
in all three states.

UP IN THE AIR
MADISON'S ELECTRIC LIGHT
PROBLEM STILL UNSOLVED.

Many things conspire to make the
work of solving the Madison electric
light problem move slowly. The in
surance adjusters have not arrived.
An expert from the Diesel engine
foundry is engaged overhauling an
engine at Armour and he has been
summoned by telegraph to come TO
Madison as soon as possible to deter
mine the extent of the damage to the
Diesel engine used in the local plant
burned and the possibility of it's re-
pair. He has not yet arrived. And
many other things enter in to cause
delay.
A representative of the Northern
States Power company was in the
city a short time yesterday and made
a tentative proposition that the city
Of Madison equip a line to connect
with their line at Chester, naming a
price of 4.55 cents per kilowatt dur
ing the war and 3 cents per kilowatt
one year after the close of the war,
the city to take $4,000 kilowatts
monthly under a 10-year contract
with the company. The estimated
cost of making the connection at
Chester is 100000 to $4,000. The
company could not enter into a per-
manent contract for 40 or 60 days,
it being necessary for the negotia-
tons to be made with men higher up
in the authorities of the company.
This does not look very good.
Plans for temporary relief are be-
ing considered. Mayor Burnside, of
Sioux Falls, has offered to loan the
city a generator sufficient to provide
the business section with street light
ing and lights for business houses,
provided power to drive the genera
tor can be obtained in the city. This
is being looked into. Foreman Beals,
of the roundhouse, is computing his
power with the hope that enough
may be spared from that source to
drive the generator. Other plans are
being discussed, all of which con
QUILTED liliit.
There are many arguments in ia
vor of by some means obtaining tenn
porary relief and proceeding to re-
build and maintain a municipal plant
as formerly. The Northern States
Power company's proposition does
not look good to many people. 1t is
pointed out that the Diesel engine at
the plant can be repaired and made
practically as good as new for con-
siderably less than half what the en-
CINE originally cost. Under the plan
of a rebuilt municipal plant the city
would be in control instead OF an
outside company. The local plant
would furnish employment to a con-
siderable number of men who would
make their homes in Madison And
so the arguments go, and largely In
favor of a rebuilt municipal p,s lit as
a permanent and profitable invest
ment sOI the city inste4i Of being
controlled by an outside comrany. A
bond issue would, of course. be nee
essay 20 rebuild, but as Madison's
bonded IL debtedness is thu lowest of
any towp in the state o; e.: porula-
ton. this would net b. a hardship.

Mr.. Winden failed to appear on the
day of entrainment, July 25. 1t
seems there was no disposition on
the part of Mr.. Winden to disobey
the orders of the board in failing TO
entrain and he was allowed to pro

AMERICANS TROOPS
HOLD The HUNS

Paris, July 31.-American troops
maintain their position in the region
of Serings-et-Nesles, which they car
ried after violent fighting, according
to an official statement from the war
office today.
The Germans made four attacks
against the new French positions east
of Oulchy-le-Chateau. They were re-
pulsed and the French line was held
intact.
The French and the Germans car
ried out raids at a number of other
points on other sectors, west of the
Marine salient, but there was no
change in the general situation at
these points.
With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, July 81
Through a barrage as deadly as my
sector for months, the American sol
diers, comprising men from the mid
die west and etasern states, pushed
their line forward a little more yes
terday and tonight it forms the apex
of the long Allied front.
Their progress was considerable,
though less than two miles, but it is
regarded as a brilliant operation in
view of the determined countering by
the Germans.
On either side the French also
moved forward while steady pressure
was maintained against the east and
west flanks.
Information early in the day indi-
Gated the withdrawal of the Fourth
guards, but it developed that that re-
nowned organization uand the Ba-
~varians were still on the front and
the strong opposition they offered
testified to their reputation. But
their sacrifice was in vain.
The Americans withstood two
heavy attacks during the night. and
at daylight began their operations,
which left them tonight well to the
north of Sergy on the long slopes Of
Serignes-et-Nesles, whose retention
the Germans bitterly opposed.
