PRESS CLUB SPEECH

Colonel Roosevelt is preparing for
strenuous time today.
He slept until $3.50. and denied him
self to all callers this morning. At
the Longworth home II was stated
that a "bombshell" will be thrown
into the camp of inefficient heads"
of war work at his talk at the Press
Club this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The Colonel will hold several more
conferences with members of Con-
gress before preparing for his speech
tonight He stated Tuesday that he
wanted to make sure of his ground
before making any disclosures and in
formation, CLEANED from his head
quarters in Washington, indicated
that he will be ready with 1t today.
When Colonel Roosevelt detonates
his bombs for the "inefficients" at
the National Press Club this after
noon. one OF his hearers, as special
guest of the club, will be a man who
resigned as chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, of the navy, rather than
obey an order from Roosevelt, then
President.
He is Rear Admiral Willard H.
Bronson, retired, and he displayed
such a keen desire to hear his former
chief that the club suspended its rule
that only members should attend.
Bronson's tilt with the Colonel &C.
CURED when after being called from
retirement for the high post in navi-
cation at the request OF Roosevelt's
physician, he resigned rather than as

ACCUSES 7. R. Of
PLAYING A BOLD
POLIT|GAL GAME

BALTE"oRE. Jan. pa. Fred
Essary, Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore Sun, says in today's
issue of that newspaper:
Theodore Roosevelt is in Washing
ton playing the boldest game of prac-
teal politics the country has wit
messed since his followers in Chicago
a year ago tried a second time to
scuttle the Republican party.
Thirty-siN hours OF typical Roose-
welt maneuvering has revealed the in
tcresting fact that he is making q
HIndenburg drive for the Republican
Presidential nomination in 1920, with
the hopeful feeling that such a nom
ination will be tantamount to an cleo
ton.

He Is having q veritable whirlwind
of conferences" He Is sending out
his couriers in droves to bring in the
faithful and the faithless alike. All
of them have an equal welcome and
all of them are taken, they imagine,
into the full confidence of the Colonel.
He Is a past master in conf1ding the
inner thoughts of his mind to a Wis

COURAUD CHECKS GROWN PRINCE
Hero of Dardanelles French Commander Who Bars
 Advance in Champagne.

With the French Forces in France, July 1S.--Gen. Gouraud, the hero of the Dardanelles, was the French com mander who barred the advance of the German Crown Prince in the Champagne. It was he who, to the east of Rheims, in one day brought the host of Germans to standstill. This was done with only compara- lively insignificant losses among his own men in consequence of his ad- mirable defensive preparations.
 About 20 enemy divisions have been identified in the first line of this sec tor of the front alone. By the end of the first day of fighting half of these had been badly mauled. The precau- ton the French had taken before the teutcn offensive began was such that the Germans were unable to capture a single prisoner in the Champagne during the several days preceding the attack. The Germans thus were de- prived of the possibility of obtaining information regarding the French plans.
 When the German artillery prepara- ton started on the night of the 14th the flashes from thousands of guns were so vivid that they lighted up the streets of Chalons. almost 12 miles from the front. The French replied with an equally powerful fire, and everything for many miles trembled until dawn, when the German infan-

try came over.
 The advancing waves were of great density giving the hundreds of French 75s a pointblank .tarket At the same time smaI centres of re- sistance composed of French advanced posts opened fire with machine guns, which do terrific execution.
 These isolated attachments held up the enemy masses for several hours, giving ample time for their comrades guarding the line rsistance to organ ize and bring into play all their means of defence. Then they retired slowly, at times being compelled to fight strong bodies of the enemy, who had succeeded in passing their positions. Lieut.. Tranchard, with 25 men, was caught between the French and Ger man barrages and remained fighting half the day. He then cut his way through the enemy's lines at the point of the ibayonet and received the Le- zion, of Honor on the field.
 The perfect execution Of Gen. Gou- raud's defence plans prevented the enemy from making a breach at any lpoint on this sector, although during A hours the German Crown Prince setn three incesantly renewed waves of his best troops forward in the de- termination to get through to Chal- ons

Matter Of Supreme Importance to A,

Matter Of Supreme Importance to All
That your boy may feel the warm
grip of a friendly hand when loneli-
ness assails him; that he may find
good fellowship and comfort in the
shadow of No Mans Land; that he
may return from the Great Ordeal
with soul and body sound; the Catho-
lie War Council has merged its re-
sources with six other welfare agen-
cies for the greatest of all welfare
campaigns. During the week from
November 11th to November 18th.
$3.50, 0,000,00o.0O will be raised in the

work of the following seven organic
ations:-YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION; KNIGHTS of COLUM
BUS, YOUNG WOMEN's CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION, JEWISH WELFARE,
WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE,

and SALVATION ARMY.

presented separate appeals. but it
has been decided, and wisely so, to
combine them all In one drive and d.
vide according to a ratio agreed upon
reaching into every city and county
side "a now being perfected by the I'm
tied War Work Campaign Committee.
Protestant, Catholic and Jew are
working together with whole heart
edness that breathes the spirit Of these
times. Richland County has been
asked to raise $54.o75. 90. and wahpe-
toms apportionment towards this
fund is $5,500.00. A committee has
been hard at work trying to make the
proper apportionment for each indi-
vidual and when this is accomplished
the exact amount and name of each
individual will be placed on a carl
and handed over to a committee Of
two in each Ward. This committee
will call on you on Monday morning.
November 11th, and we expect to
raise Wahpeton's share towards this
fund in ONE DAY. Already has our
loyalty to our country and its ideals,
been put to the severest test. We
have given cheerfully Of our human
and material resources. In fact we
Just got through investing in Liberty
Bonds. In spite of all this, know
that the people of Wahpeton are gen.
erous and loyal and will gladly make
any sacrifice in order to help our boys
Over Here and Over There. The duty
devolves upon every patriotic Amer
ican to measure up to every RESPONSE
bility that Is put upon him, till the
day comes when the Kaiser and all
his Won Murderers are beaten to a
frazzle and our boys come victorious
