is being hurled back with terri
fic speed and force by the allied
armies.
Austria is sick of war and has
declared herself a separate state,
which means a pulling away
from the Kaiser.
Germany has acceeded to the
demands of President Wilson tc
stop the inhumane treatment OF
helpless people and the destruct
ion of property as they retreat
toward the Rhine.

prise the army of Won Arnim.

ROOT FOR WEEKS

John Willis Weeks, of New York
city, who delivered his wonderfully
stirring lecture THE Flag We Love-"
was asked to deliver tbs lecture the
other day to United States soldiers
at Fort Jay which is in New York
harbor.
He evidently captured these SOL
diers with his splendid lecture for the
reporter sent out the word, THE men
crowded in wherever they could find
a place to stand, and listened with
rapt attention to his wonderfully
graphic description of the stirring in
cidents of American history"
Judging from the crowds of, men
who are now attending the 7. M. c.
A Sunday afternoon mass meetings;
Mr.. Weeks will have, as he deserves,
a great audience like that one which
Count deBeaufort faced last Sunday
afternoon.
Last Sunday, before the count en-
tered the gymnasium, he was asked if
he wanted a platform placed SO that
he could stand on it to speak. He
said, ooh, no." but when he entered
the gymnasium and could scarcely
make his way to the front he asked
that the platform be arranged as he
had no conception of the great num-
Der of men who would be crowded
into the big gym.

PALESTINE FOR
JEWS ENDORSED
BY SOCIALISTS

A sensation has been caused in Ger
many, according to a cable to the
Jewish Morning Journal, by the pub
LEGATION of an article written by Herr
Cohen-Reis, a member of the Reich
stag and an adherent of the majority
socialist party advising Germany and
Turkey to issue a declaration in favor
of the establishment Of Jewish Ma
tional homeland in Palestine, along
the lines of the famous British dec1ar-
alton, which he endorses in the
strongest terms.
Herr Cohen-Reis pronounces the
British declaration as q move of the
greatest political wisdom. He deplores
the lack of political foresight on the
part of Germany and Turkey in per
hitting England to take the lead in
the response to the Jewish demand,
and even if they should both make
the declaration he proposes they will
not, now, derive the greatest political
advantage from such a course, as it
will come too late to win the sym
pathy of the Jewish people for the
cause of the Central Empires. But, at
least, he points out it will help to
moderate the antagonism of the Jews
of Russia, whose friendship. he de-
clares, is of vital Importance to the
| success of the present peace negotia-
tons with Russia

ing and matters pertaining to the de-
velopment of the club was discussed.
An application was drawn up and
sent in to the United States Employ
ment Service to establish district
office of the United States Employ
ment Service here in Willisfon.
The Community Club felt that with
the resources and the great number
of men and location of the city Of
Williston that such an office should
be established here. Tt is hoped that
the Office may be opened by the first
of the year.
This work has been carried on
heretofore by Judge Butler who has
represented this branch of the ser
vice in this district. During the past
month Judge Butler sent over forty
men from here and has more men on
his list as soon as the government
finds places for them.
A service Office here would be a
great help to the community in many
ways and it is. the intention of the
government to handle all employ
ment agencies hereafter.
