WHY THE GERMANS MAY QUIT
"a FRANCE
QUIT

Will the Germans retire out of France
this year,
One mans guess as to the answer to this
question is as good as another's and out
side of the German general staff, prob
ably nobody knows the answer to this
question which is beginning to occupy the
world s attention.
Nothing is so futile as to venture predic-
tions in this war, but here are two out
standing factors in the situation which to
our mind, point to such retirement this
fall provided the Allies penetrate farther
into the German positions at Cambria and
at Laon, thus thanking the Hindenburg
line
The first reason is that a retirement to
the German border would greatly shorten
The German line. It would, of course,
shorten by a corresponding distance the
Allied line, but it would make available
some sadly needed German reserves. It
would give Germany mobile army of de-
Tense which could be used to- meet concen-
1rations of Allied troops at any one point
ia the line.
The second great reason is a political
one. 1t would De useQ as 1ndlsputable
proof of the German claim that Germany is
fighting defensive war for the protection
Of the Fatherland. Back the German
troops up to the Rhine, with the Allies
hammering at the gates of the great indus
trial cities along the Rhine valley, and the
German people could be called upon for
heroic measures and the limit in self-sac-
rifice to carry on defensive war
Germany has abandoned hope Of military

Who's Who In The Days News

The late United States SEN
ator Ben Tillman's successor
is Christie Benet, appointed by
the governor of South Caro-
lima for a term of six months.
Benet, but 38 years of age,
is an attorney and has
southerner's physical makeup.
If he wants to hold the job,
he will have to run for it at
the end of six months, but the
successful contestant will
have but two months to serve
in order to fill the vacancy
Gauaed by Tillman's death.
Benet will probably not

unjustified. To be physically un-

unattended by symptoms. At the
most there is merely a feeling of
weight or dragging or dull pain. 1t
does not have more serious results
than this. If the individual worries
over the condition and cannot be re-
assured by the above statement, he
should have 1t corrected by opera

Otherwise q support which can be
purchased in any good drug store

Life Must Be Made Longer

Heart Disease Is Chief Enemy to Combat, Says
Sir George Newman.
From The Continental Edition of The London
Mail:
Death under so or 60 years old has got to he
prevented or avoided, and the medical practi-
toner Is the primary agent in the task" declares
Sir George Newman in memorandum medi-
cal education in England, addressed to the presi
dent Of the board Of education.
Heart disease causes one-third of the deaths
between 55 and 65, and is one of the most dis
ablng forms of disease. 1t is in the workshop
and the personal habits of the individual that
reform must come. Heart disease is therefore
partly problem of preventive medicine, which
has already raised the expectation of life at birth
from 40 years in 183S-1854 to 81 today.

If he should fall in fighting fields untrod

Uncared for the battlefield Of Mars

Will you not take my place the little while?

The Dickey County Leader offers the following
good advice:

The Dickey County Leader offers the folIowin
good advice:
Calling a man Stacker nowadays is near
ly as bad as accusing him Of murder. Many
a good dog has died because some fool yelled
mad dog. And many a good loyal Ameri-
can had to fight hard to remain loyal when
some idiotic flag waving pink patriot howled
Stacker.
It's hard to be Stacker these days. The
government has taken Il firmer grip on the
reins and man just about has to come
clean. Work or fight says Uncle Sam, and
there are plenty to that the rule is en-
forced, and a conscientious American will
often irjure himself in order to show the
world that he is true-blue
Just because a man doesn't agree with
you, don't brand him a Stacker. Maybe he
doesn't go into the harvest field to help get
in the crop, but it is possible he has good
reason. Perhaps he doesn't shout himself
hoarse when he sees soldier in uniform. He
may not carry little flag about wherever
he goes The best patriots aren't parading
their loyalty And it is quite likely that, if
you knew all about this mans affairs, you
would find him putting you to shame in the
matter of love of country.
Mix little brains with your patriotism 1t
will help both.

Aerial Nets to Snare Airplanes

Their Use BY Both French and Germans Is Now
Recognized.
From The Scientific American.
1t appears quite certain that both the
Germans and the French making extensive
and regular use of aerial nets to bag enemy night
raiders Some time ago the use Of captive bal
looms and aerial steel nets was reported as being
tried by the Germans, in an effort to enmesh
British airmen. More recently reports have
come from France, telling Of the Of aerial
nets at certain points which frequently
passed by the methodcal German raiders. In
deed, it is even said of these nets that the Ger
counter with the slender steel web in the black
ness Of night, have been greatly discouraged in
their work On the other hand, q recent item in
TAerophile tends to cast doubt on the efficacy
Of the aerial nets employed in the defense of
Paris.

The Hankinson News has the following com
ment on the failure of TownIeyism to win Other
states as 1t has North Dakota
"Townleyism does not seem to make the
same Roadway in other states that it has in
North Dakota. Following crushing defeat
in the Minnesota primaries, Townley has
fused with some Of the labor union men and
the combination Is backing Evans for COVER
moron platform opposing statewide
prohibition! That Townley is an opportunist
is shown by his alignment with the brew
cry interests, and at the same time backing
Miss Rankns candidacy for United States
senator in Montana. Townleyism hanging to
her skirts proved too great a handicap to
the Montana congressWonlan, and she lost
out In the face for promotion Placing Evans
in the field as third party candidate in
Minnesota will likewise bring about just the
result that Townlsy does not want, and that
is the reelection of Governor Burnquist. The
prospect of Townley extending his political
control beyond the boundaries of North Da-
kota are very, very remote.

consequently the meeting proved decidedly
