GERMAN LINE IS GIVING WAY FAST
 IS BELIEF PARIS
Armies Crumbling Away Piece By Piece, Division
 By Division.

Paris, Oct. 9 (Havas. )-Paris re- gards the news from the front as in- dicating a general giving way of the German line-a collapse piece by piece of the enemy's positions and a crumbiing away of his army regiment by regiment and division by division. The formidable war machine is so seriously affected, it is pointed out, that even those who fashioned it and used it against humanity now are themselves doubtful of it's soundness hence their peace proposition, the first that they have really formulat- ed. But it is regarded that this hour is not the one in which respite should be granted the Germans and the suggestions is heard that no re- quest of the kind be listened to until the enemy has withdrawn half doz- en miles or more beyond the French and Belgian borders.
 The attitude of Paris yesterday when the stirring news of the allied successes was coming in was impress sive from the calmness of the people.
 In the action of the enemy chan ceMories in their peace moves every one read an indication of their confu- sion and their fear that an allied vic tory was near but the news of the diplomatic moves was greeted with the same quiet assurance as that or the allied military successes. Ii the imperial German chancellor and the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister had hoped to start popular move ment for peace every sign pointec to their having grossly deceived them selves. ...
 There was extensive comment Tn the press over the reichstag speech of Prince Maximilian of Baden and the armistice propositions. In, gen eral the opinion was expressed that the utterances of the enemy states
 men indicated no willingness to grant the demands of France for her lost territory ana expressed the view that 2 conference to discuss this question would be useless. 1t was pointed .out' iri addition, that the Germans accom- panied their peace move with an 9i- der for starting of fires along the wide front, the horizon at the moment being ablaze with the flames rom towns, villages and arms shedding a sinister glow upon the road o1 the German retreat. ,, . j,

WILSON TURNS HIS
 ATTENTION ON THE
 BATTLE FIELDS NOW
Secretary Lansing, General March and President
 Discuss Situation.

Washington, Oct. 9.-With the Ger man peace offensive met and halted unless the enemy actually is ready to sue for epace on American and allied terms, President Wilson today turn- ed his attention to the battlefields where the once conquering Teutonic their own soil. He walked over to Secretary Lansing's office at the state department and sent for Gener- al March who appeared with a huge military map of the west front. The conference which lasted only a few minutes required the chief of staff to show the present battle lines and point to the advances of the victorious American, British and French armies, which are making in- evitable German retreat on great scale. An important change recodded just before General March was sum- moned showed Cambrai, a Hinden- burg line stronghold, in the hands of the British and the allied forces ad- vancing beyond.
 Military men are vastly pleased over the president's refusal to even discuss an armistice while German soldiers remain on invaded soil any where, thus very flatly replying to that phase of Prince Maximilian's overtures, although the note dispatch ed yesterday was in the form of an in- quiry.
 The president is known to be ready to act without delay when the Ger man chancellor has answered the pointed questions asked in that note whether the chancellor in asking for peace negotiations, accepts unequlvo.. cally the terms of peace already laid down and whther he speaks for the German people themselves or only for their military masters. If these an swers show, as most observers here believe they will that the kaiser is not yet ready to surrender and that the peace proposal merely is another insidious diplomatic move, the presi- dent will be ready to tell Germany and the world why it is necessary for General Foch to complete his task.
 Officials said today it should be clearly understood the president has no thought of entering into series of unruitul diplomatic exchanges with the Germans. It was intimated also that he probably will go before con- gress with a statement when Prince Maximilian responds to his inquiry and he is ready to make his reply.

NEWSPAPER PRoFITEERING

The Minneapolis Journal and Tri.
bune have announced an increase in
rates, basing the subscription price
upon the ground of increased cost in
production.
But we observed Sunday morning
that customers were paying two cents
extra for the Sunday editions Of these
papers--that is to say, instead of five
cents, the former price, the new rat
ing called for seven cents One cent
of this amount was attributed to the
increased cost of production, the other
cent being assigned to the increased
postage rate.
Sunday editions of these two dailies
The Journal and Tribune combined
weighed about two pounds. The
postal rate is now one and half cents
a pound, as against the former rating
of one cent. This increases the cost
of the delivery by mail of these Sun.
day papers by one.haf of one cent.
But the publishers get a full cent
extra, and, therefore, are profiteering
to that extent.
We have gone on record hitherto in
favor OF confiscating all the profiteer-
ing profits Of any business institution
that reaps them during the balance
of this war.
We'd hate to apply it against
member of the craft, but consistency
would compel us to do SO IL we could.
VIII the Minneapolis Journal and
the Minneapolis tribune cease their
or will they turn over to
the government without further pro-
test all their profiteering profits?

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

We are presenting today for the
benefit of our readers the democratic
platform of South Dakota, upon which
the democratic party will make its
campaign.
1t contains some elements of states
manship, and is entirely devoid Of
those rhetorical flourishes and en-
blaZoned phrases which characterize
the republican document. (We shall
print the republican platform, with &C.
complaining comment, in some future
edition. Its length precludes our
publishing it in this issue)
Our democratic friends have sought
to express themselves without am
biguity. They stand for something.
They believe in a square deal for all
patriotic citizens Of the state. They
pronounce unequivocally for public
ownership of public utilities. They
favor the reclamation of all natural
resources not now in the possession of
the government. They demand a re-
vision Of our laws SO as to provide
for the approval Of at least six Of our
nine supreme court judges to declare
a law unconstitutional They pledge,
without the element Of camouflage,
that their candidates will stand by the
platform.
The democrats of this state, be it
remembered, have most decided adj
vantage over their chief party OPP
ponents in that their representatives
in congress and in the senate are on
record as favoring the adequate taxa
ton of excessive war profits. In
other words, they are publicly on
record as offering an effective method
for dealing with profiteering. They
propose to take-call it confiscate, il
you please-a large percentage Of
excess war profits for the use and
benefit of all the people, in the prose
cution of the war.
AS party platform 1t contains
many commendable features.

THE GATES SWING BOTH WAYS.

Minneapolis Journal: A way at last
has been opened for sending back to
their own countries those persons who
persist in talking against the country
of their adoption and in taking their
stands with the old countries. It has
been said that the gates of Castle
Garden never swing outward. but it
such is the case, these gates will short
~ be provided with new hinges, that
permit them to swing in either direc-
ton as the need arises.
A federal court has already taken
action along the lines suggested At
Seattle naturalized citizen of the
United States has been stripped of his
American citizenship, because OF his
violation of his oath of allegiance
and has been ordered interned as an
alien enemy for the duration Of the

will find himself once more a subject
of the kaiser, Undesirable in the Unit
ed States and certain Of deportation

DRY. passing briefly on this case, said:
Other similar cases will follow. 4,
And the justice Of the procedure
cannot be questioned. A mans home
or his country--is where his heart
is, and that is where he belongs.
For many years the obvious retort
to the man who has praised another
country at the expense of the United
States has been, Why don't YOU go
back there, then?n But very few have
adopted this course, The time has
now arrived when they will be forced
to- adopt it. American citizenship
lis too precious to be wasted on those
who flout it. and who in times Of stress

Those foreign-born citizens OF the
United States who are opposing this

do and concealed propaganda, should
take notice of the Seattle decision It

CROSS BETWEEN
SUBMARINE and
OCEAN SHARK

Earl c.. Reineke Of Fargo, N. d..
here with Mrs. Reineke to visit at the
home of Mrs. Reineke's parents, has
an automobile of his own get-up, SO to
speak. 1t looks like a cross between
shark and submarine, with a camels
hump on it's back as a top beneath
which to screen the joy-riders from
the suns rays. Coming towards you
on the street, you'd think it a full
fledge torpedo with head. up and tail
arising. Going from you, you'd think
it to be the tail end of morning
dream after night out with the boys.
Anyway, it skins along, with Mr.. and
Mrs. Reineke safely esconced within
it's folds, like sparrow using it's
wings as wheels and it's tail as pro-
peller.
Properly armored with reinforced
concrete and under full head of
steam it would go through Prussian
regiment like a creased pig slips
through the arms of Fourth of July
chaser. Unless Mr.. Reineke wishes to
lose this peculiar piece of mechanism,
he'd better keep it out of sight of
Uncle Sans searchers after new
tangled weapons of warfare.

NEWSPAPER TRIALS

There are few industries in the
country that are harder hit by the war
than the newspaper. 1t is true the
war has had tendency to boost news
paper calculations, because of the gen
eral interest Of the people in war news.
And advertising patronage has not de-
creased to any noticeable extent. But
prices for print paper, already unrea-
sonably high, have scared since the
war came. Postage rates have increas-
ed. Wages for all sorts of employees
connected with newspaper work have
climbed. Press association tolls have
been added to cover the increased cost
of gathering the world news. Prices
for everything else connected with
newspaper making, in addition to pa
per, have increased from so to 200 per
cent. And the war has made such in
roads on the skilled help necessary in
publishing newspapers-such as print
ers, linotype operators, reporters and
editors-that the problem of competent
help grows increasingly serious daily.
All these things have resulted in
large number of newspaper consolida-
lions, such as that Of the two Yankton
dailieS last week in many newspaper
the curtailment Of the size Of the pa
pers. AS a sample Of the latter method
of procedure, the Deadwood Pioneer
Times has announced its intention to
reduce its size from eight pages of six
columns to four pages seven columns
in size, and the Deadwood Telegram has
asked it's readers to decide whether it
shall print a smaller paper, or cut
down to a tri-weeikly or weekly instead
OF a daily edition.
There are some industries in which
women and girls can be trained to take
the place of soldiers in very short
time, but in newspaper work, particu-
larry in the mechanical branch, where
only skilled workmen can be employed,
that solution of vexed problem is not
available. Aberdeen News

TOWNLEY AND MINNESOTA

The Saturday News has no especial
Interest," in Mr.. Townley. His future
welfare, either in this world or the
world to come, concerns us only as that
of any other person might concern US.
But Mr.. Townley hasn't had a
square deal at the hands of the Mime
sofa politicians. This is evident from
an opinion handed down by the state
supreme court.
Through connivance with one A r.
Allen, who posed as a reforrner when
he resided at Clear Lake, S. D., some
years ago. they caused Mr.. Townley's
arrest on the charge of having circulat-
ed reasonable matter in the form of a
pamphlet or circular. A little two.
by.four court, aided by political
lawyer, succeeded in indicting Mr.
Uownley on the complaint.
Then the politicians proceeded to adj
vertise Mr.. Townley as a reasonable
fellow, in leagueswith the kaiser to

campaign, the case was allowed to drag
along until the primary battle was out
of the way, whereupon the Minnesota
supreme court handed down decision
branding as groundless the charge
against Mr. Townley and bringing what
amounts to sweeping indictment
against the men responsible for his
arrest.
That is to say, the supreme court
declares that there was no justifica-
ton for the arrest; that the circular
complained of. which was said to be
seditious in character, is not disloyal
in either letter or spirit; that the
language employed, and for which Mr..
Townley was arraigned, refers particu-
larry to conditions in Europe and to
facts connected with the causes which
led to the outbreak of the war and not
to Americas part therein; that, as a
matter of fact, the worst that can be
said about statement credited to the
league concerning "the moving causes
of the world war" is that it is
nothing more serious than a rhetorical
and somewhat flamboyant platform
upon which a certain class of citizens
are solicited to join an organization
