STORIES ABOUT OUR SOLDIERS
PART OF HUN PROPAGANDA

Lieutenant Hill set Alright the stor-
les that were sent broadcast through
out this country about the terrible
conduct of our soldier boys, as regards
the social evil and the rum ration. He
had followed up some of these stories
personally and came to full conclus.
sion that they were sent out by Ger
man agents, designed purposely to
have the home people lose faith in
their fighters. 1t is all part of the
lying Hun propaganda that under
mined Russia and would hurt in this
country were it permitted to go on.
Lieutenant Hill is returned Can
adian soldier and was brought into the
state to deliver patriotic address at
Minot. So well did he please that
Judge Young, head of the Red Cross
in this state, was notified and he Sc
cures the lieutenant for a series of
addresses throughout the state in the
interest of the Red Cross. The lieuten-
ant gives little the best address yet
heard here from a returned soldier,
He said the job ahead of the Allies
was terrible one, but they were 60
ing to keep on-and win.
Rev. James Opie acted as chairman
of the evening. The band was out
and played several patriotic airs, and
good audience turned out on the
chautauqua grounds to listen on Tues
day evening.

Eishina Is the Job

Yes, fishing is a nice. job in the
good old summer time, but Dad
Hodges is son of a gun to work at
it. He will get out at four in the morn
ing (new time) and when Old Sol has
hid his head at night Dad will be get,
ting ready for "just another TROLL"
The Hodges party got to Camp Pro-
hosky after an eight hours run stop
ping off for dinner an hour at Fair
mount. Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Lynde
and daughter and Muriel Crabtree of
Glendale came along the day before
the Fourth and remained over until
last Monday, when they returned ac-
companied by Mrs. Hodges. Mr.. and
Mrs. T. L. Brouillard showed up Sat-
urda!y to remain a week and Dad re-
NAMED over, expecting to go to Park
Rapids and take the Brouillards on in
vitation from G. w. Wattles.
Camp Prohosky is away ahead of
any camp we have yet put up at in
Minnesota. There are splendid airy
rooms, with beds just as good as you
have at home and boats a-plenty. The
chuck was good, there was plenty of
fish if you could get them and we got
our share-pike, pickerel, bass and
bullheads. Ralph Lynde holds the belt
in the party for catching dog fish, and
Wright holds the package in getting
bullheads. He found a place where
a landing net was none too large for
scOODing them olt-and even the NET
broke with the weight. June flies at
this time keep the fish from biting
good.
The Wrights came home by train
Monday by way of Fergus Falls, which
is but fourteen miles from camp.

KEEP PLANS SECRET

| lieve Expedition on an Extended
Scale Is lmpracticable.

J Washington, July AT confer.
ence at the White House between
President Wilson Secretaries Lansing,
Baker and Daniels, Admiral Benson,
chief of naval operations, and Cen
eral March, army chief of staff, Am
erica's waiting policy in regard to
military action in Russia is under.
stood to have ended.
There was no announcement after
the conference and probably will be
none for the present, but it was said
unofficially an important decision had
been reached.
Urgent appeals from the Allied gov
ernments for American approval Of
and cooperation in joint measures to
meet the German menace throughout
Russia have been before President
Wilson for several days.
Until now, however, there has been
no intimation he had changed his po-
sition, based on recommendations of
his military advisers that successful
military effort in Russia was not
feasible.
For military reasons strictest sec
recy is observed concerning the exact
nature Of steps proposed by the AL.
lies.
American and Allied naval forces
are guarding war supplies both at
Vladivostok, terminal of the Trans
Siberian railroad, and Kola, terminal
of the railroad on the Arctic coast,
which is reported threatened by Ger
man forces in the interior.
Beltef among the majority Of A1nsr.
lean military men that no expedition
on an extended scale should be UNDER
taken in the East apparently has un-
dergone 40 change. In fact, one Of.
;ficial more than intimated that the
decisions did not mean the embarka-
tion of any great military force across
the Pacific.
As to whether it meant operations
by an international force of japanese,
French and British, with Americans in
sufficient numbers to demonstrate par.
ticipation of the United States, no
one would say.
Regardless of the secrecy observed
however, the plain intimation was CIV
en- that the White House conference
marked the end of the period of
waiting which began on Bolshevlsi
acceptance of the Brest-Litovsk treaty
whereby Germany gained control Of q
large section of Russia and paved the
way for extending her influence east
ward far into Siberia.

Make Successful Forward Plunge
In Somme Sector North J

London, July Again the Austria
Hans made successful forward
plunge in the Somme sector northeast
of Amiens, where. with some Ameri.

liant operation OF last week.
The latest drive by the rangy men
from the antipodes resulted in what
is described by the British official
statement as slight advance.
The aggregate of the ground gained
recently in this area has been con-
siderable, however, and the slow pro-
gress made has apparently affected
considerable movement in the British
position along front Of we'll toward
two miles on both sides Of the rivef
Somme.
French Have Artillery Duel.
While the British are thus fort,fy-
ing themselves against the expected
renewal OF the German offensive in

cred quite likely to be launched, the
French are finding themselves active

Utah families is bound to increase by
leaps and bounds with the return of the
soldiers.
Have we prepared for this emergency?
The family unit is the. hope Of the state
Without it there can be no stable growth
in the community. The family unit with
out a home is as a ship without rudder.
It must be provided with shelter where
it can build for the future with an eve to
permanence. fs rs
Building restrictions have curtailed the
building Of small homes in all parts Of the
country. Everywhere there is an appar.
ent shortage Of houses. The normal IL
crease in demand for houses has been
kept down by the-war, but the return of
peace will restore this demand and more.
The next few years WILDE marked by
great INCREASE in the family population
Of the state and we should prepare for
its comfort now.
The future of the state and the COM
munity is dependent upon the success Of
it's families. If we fail to privide homes
to meet the new demands, we stand in
our own light. The Forthcoming spring
should witness revival of interest in the
building Of small homes. It is the only
way in which we can hope to preserve our
home life and keep pace with the natural
growth fthe nation.-Salr Lake Herald
