CASUALTY LIST

Fargo, Feb. 1S.-North Dakota for
mer guardsmen, members of the 164th
U. S. Infantry, are training in the
hills at an undisclosed point in France
according to letters received in North
Dakota within the past two days.
Indications are that the North Da-

camp despite the fact that casualty
lists within the past week carried the
names of five men from this state.
Explanation Of the fact that the
men were listed as being killed by
being wounded "in action" is given by
Adjutant General Angus Frazier, of
North Lakota, who says that nen
killed or wounded in an air raid would
be listed as being killed in action.
Letters so far received from France
indicate that the men have comforta-
bic barracks and are getting strenu.

SAYS
DRIVE TO FAIL

London, Feb. 18.-A successful Of
fensive on the West Front, is impos-
sible, in the opinion of the military
expert Of the Neue Freie Presse of
Vienna. After speaking of the sue
cessful operations against the Rus
sian and Italian fronts, he says of the
West front:
"The West front is entirely differ
ent. 1t is characterized by it's rec
tilinear form, the extraordinary dense
and deep grouping of the troops, the
abundance of artillery of all kinds, the
strength Of it's Notifications and the
perfection of its transport system.
"There are at least three time as
many men per mile on the West front
as there were on the Italian front at
the beginning of our last offensive
there, and they are soldiers of the
highest efficiency. The backbone of
the defense is composed of enormous
masses of artillery, with shells of un-
limited quantities. The precision Of
the enemy artillery work is beyond
question"

Tewnley and his band of paid assis-
tants, who are organizing these many
new corporations will be ready to sad
die these onto the state. They have
gotten their pay for organizing them
and no one will believe that they will
be paying propositions, and the time
is not far hence when they will want
to abandon them and the scheme is to
turn them over to the state upon the
payment Of millions Of dollars, and
the taxpayers will have 20 stand the

Not only the business men, but the
farmers who will have to pay the tax

but what House Bill A will be made

GERMANY SHORT
OF COPPER

Military experts believe that Ger
many is getting exceedingly short Of
copper used in making shells and car
tridges, and that this will soon have a
noticeable effect on her prosecution of
the war. The Central Powers produce
but very little copper as compared
with the Allies. Undoubtedly Ger.
many had hundreds of thousands Of
tons of copper stored at the beginning
of the war, but her supply must be
running low at this time. Everywhere
there are indications that she has been
conserving her supply of copper. In
cities which she has captured, she
has stripped the homes of all copper
and even torn down the copper tele-
phone wires. There is no substitute
for copper in the manufacture Of
shells. Germany is more careful of
her ammunition than formerly and
there's a good reason.

SAVE THE HORSE
NOW STATE. SLOGAN

MlnoC, ~. u, req. save the
horses" is the slogan of men insti-
eating the latest movement in North
west North Dakota. Sowing to the
shortage of feed farmers have been
inclined to let their horses run more
on the range. In many instances the
fact has not been taken into consider
alton that the thousands of acres now
under cultivation are not as favorable
for stock as they were before broken
by the plow. Horses which have been
dependent entirely upon the range for
food or upon the pickings at old straw
stacks, have not wintered we'll. AL
most every slough in the county is
strewn with dead horses. The move
ment recently launched in this vicinity
is to have the farmers apply immed-
lately for feed from the county and
bring in the horses they intend to
work this spring. The contention is
advanced that if the horses are not
brought in now and properly cared for
until the springs work starts, the ami
mails will not be in as good condition
and cannot stand the long days nee.
esssary if North Dakota is to comply
with che nations demand for increas-
ed production. Many prominent far
mers have expressed grave doubts
about this section being able to put in
large enough acreage unless the
horses receive better attention within
the very near future.
