j. S. ACTION CAUSE
Of BULGAR DEFEAT

American concentration on the west
front is directly responsible for the
Bulgarian detection.
This Interpretation was drawn to-
day from Chief Of STAFF March's press
conference in which he pointed out
that Germany now is no longer able
to aid a hard pressed ally such as
Bulgaria
The downfall of Turkey and the re-
entrance OF Roumania were forseen
by March as imminent possibilities il
q separate peace is made with Bull
garia. The Danube front would be
re-established.
GContinuousIy Better"
Whereas last week March said the
war situation was continuously
good" he characterized it today as
continuously better"
Dwelling largely on the Bulgarian
situation, the Chief of Stan pointed
out that her detection was important
not alone from a diplomatic stand
point and from the general effect on
the grand strategy of the war, but
also as illustrative of the striking
effect of west front concentration.
Previously, he pointed ont, the Ger
mans had been abe to devote some d.
visions to other than the west front
when necessary. That day has passed,
he said.
Germans Held In West.
The big concentration of the entire
American army. plus the French and
British forces. hold the Germans in
the west.
March declared we see the result in
Bulgaria's plea for a separate peace,
which he suggested foreshadows the
elimination of Turkey and the re-en-
trance OF Roumania.
Turning to the general military sit
uation, March revealed that official re-
ports said the Americans had taken
5000 prisoners in their drive and the
French 1000.
The American attack was character
lied by the sharpness and rapidity
customary with the handling Of our
troops in France, March said. and
that these factors contributed largely
to the five or six mile gain on the first
day.
Answering specific questions, March
stated that the saith division is now
practically all in France; that the Con-
necticut troops are in the Goth division

Mihiel sector) and in the 10Th division

Masses OF enemy infantry were re-
parted in the woods near Cierges yes
terday, and an artillery barrage was
laid down against the center of our
new front line, but no counter attack
developed.
The surprise element, contributing
to the success of the Franco-Ameri-
can offensive, is emphasized by iden-
tiAcstion of German divisions, which
makes apparent the fact that the
enemy was using the region from the
Argonne forest to the Mouse as a rest
sector. They have no reserves in any
sufficient number in the rear, al
though there were heavy forces fur
ther south in Lorraine.
- Many Prisoners Taken.
Prisoners have been taken from
fifteen divisions, including one OF

arrived in this region, after two

That there will be a considerably
larger vote cast in Cass county at
the June &c primary election than
there was at the primaries in 1916,
is readily shown from a comparison
of the present registration and total
vote in the county at the election
two years ago.
Figures obtained today at the Of
flee Of w. r. Tucker, Cass county
auditor, show that. including Repub-
licans, Democrats and Socialists, g.
874 voters have registered in Cass
county for the June election. At
the primary election in 1916 only g.
100 votes were cast by the three
parties, making a registration Of
1,754 greater than the 1916 vote.
The records further show that 5,40S
Republicans registered for the COM
Ing election, while only 4,443 voted
two years ago; 1,417 Democrats now,
663 voting two years ago; and 40
Socialists now and IA voting in June,

= In the city of Fargo the auditor
reports show the number Of voters

Baby Contest
at State Fair

The entire country Is talking bet
ter babies.
OF course there are babies and
babies, some better than others, but
the phrase better babies" as rep
resenung a big idea for race better
ment was coined only a little more
| than a year ago.
A lot OF wise men and women had
! talked in long phrases about the up
| lift of child, eugencies and proven
tive medicine, but it was left to a.
magazine editor who understands
mothers and babies to suggest a.
popular phrase that would appeal to
everybody, doctors and parents and
babies. The phrase better babies'T
has come to stand, the country over,
for a splendid. helpful campaign.
So long as there are babies. there
will be competition among parents
as to the good points of their re-
spective children. For many years,
the competition reached g. climax in
what was known as baby-shows. But
after all, the judges decided for this
baby or that, purely as a matter of
personal taste, and there are enough
brands of infantile prettiness to
drive judges wild with doubt and in
fed with the decisions rendered.
Out Of this dissatisfaction grew
what is known as the Better Babies
Contest. 1t is the scientific examina-
ton and comparison of babies
through a series of mental and
physical tests. There can be no
favoritism, because each baby is
tested by the aid of score card,
covering the entire mental and
physical development, from the
sturdiness and straightness of the
limbs to the ability to grasp objects
in his chubby hands.
Not only does the Better Babies
contest decide who's who among the
babies entered for examination, but
it is the means Of bringing parents
and physicians together for confer
ences on child hygiene which are
bound to improve the general health
Of the community. A healthy baby
means a bright pupil for the local
schools. A bright healthy pupil in
the school room means a normal,
Prospecting and desirable citizen
in the factory. store or offics.
The world is just beginning to
realize that the foundation Of ma
tionAl health and greatness is laid in
the care given each baby born into
the home. That Is why the Better
Babies Contest to be held at the
North Dakota State fair in Fargo on
July 1921 is one of the most i'm
portant events OF the year. Parents
are alive to the opportunities which
the contest offers-for the scientific
examination of their children and
the conferences with physicians on
child life and development.

While many registering now may
not vote at the coming election, the
figures shown above will be approx
imately correct. This held true to a
large extent two years ago, as is
shown in comparing the registration
lists with the official election lists.
Frazier Backing Lindbergh.
Lynn J. Frazier, governor OF
North Dakota, at present In Winni-
peg. called there by the critical ill
ness of his sister, has just completed
a tour Of several days in Minnesota,
campaigning for the nomination in
the Republican primaries in that
state of Charles A. Lindbergh, au-
thor OF why Your Country Is At
War"
After the Minnesota primaries,
Lindbergh will come into North Da-
kota to campaign for the nomina-
ton Of Governor Frazier. according
to announcement made here.
League Campaigners Change Field.
The hordes Of Nonpartisan league
organizers that have been engaged
in Minnesota are slowly but steadily
being shifted to the North Dakota
field
Fargo has become a clearing sta
ton for the organizers who travel
in league owned automobiles. In
Fargo they exchange Lindbergh ban
ners for Frazier banners. and then
go out into this state to continue
the work.
The headquarters Of the league in
st. Paul have practically been de-
e f1ot
field work. in an effort to stop what
appears to be a very marked trend
Of North Dakota voters to the John
Steen banner.
Expect Whole. Flock Soon.
That the whole flock of Nonparti-
san organizers will come into North
primary election day-is understood
to be the plan Of the Nonpartisan
leaders. The 900 to 300 men now
being employed to promote the can
