That victory follows the decisive attack and
never comes with even the most courageous de-
Tense, General Foch points out as the first prin-
ciple Of modern warfare. In other words Amer
lean and allied forces must assume the offensive
before the kaiser is beaten into submission. We
must carry the war home to the Germans, into
the very heart of the German empire-ON TO
BERLIN! 5ss ~
Merely warding off blows isn't enough. We
must whip the Huns now or fight this war all
over again in the near future.
We believe the nations leagued against kai.

not pass!' will no longer be the battlecry. Amer.
ica can hasten the day when the word will pass
all along that line lover thereon TO Der.

in overwhelming forces before General Foch's

across the Rhine and carry the war to the kaiser's
doorstep, where it rightly belongs. ~

STOCK PRICES
IN REACTION

New York, June 13.-Prices In the
stock market reacted very generally
after the strong opening, before the
end OF the first hour today, the French
war bulletin causing hasty profit TAX
ing by cautious traders. Sumatra TO-
bacco extended its reversal to LIS
points. United States steel cancelled
half its gain and other prominent
stocks eased proportionately, after
which the market lapsed into its re-
cent dull state. A domerate rally
occurred at midday on renewed buy
ing of investment rails. Liberty 3 1-2s
sold at 1892 to 1910; first As at 94.6s;
second As at 94.54 to 94.62 and 4 las
at 967O to 1915. Paris SKIES contfn
ued to yield. :.
Industrials, equipments, coppers
and special war issues registered
gains OF to 2 points at the opening
OF today's stock market. United
-.ates steel led the advance on fur
ther free buying, together with Beth
lehem, Crucible and Midvale steels
Shippings were little more than firm
and tobaccos moved irregularly, Su
matra losing three points while Unit
ed cigars gained a point. Other
strong features, included Reading,
Union Pacific and oils: Liberty bonds

COORDINATlNG PUBLICITY

A country editor writes. II print about l8
columns of reading matter week. On an aver
|age receive weekly with Washington post
mark, about % columns of reading matter all with
q plain notice on the top Of the proof sheet, or
in an accompanying mimeographed letter, that it
is my patriotic duty to publish it and help win
the war; but have signed contracts to publish
some advertisements in my paper and my sub
scribers expect some local news. Crowding it any
way know how, could print only little Of this
material.
II don't like to cast an aspersion upon any
one Of the two hundred and sixty-6ve patriotic as
sociations and commissions that send the material
out by rejecting its plea while publishing the ma
teral from others. And who am l, to discrim-
mate among the departments and bureaus Of the
government? Seems to me I'm bound to assume
that one is just as patriotic and necessary as the
other.
80, as can't print it ALL reluctantly throw
it all in the wastebasket l hate to do it-espe-
cially when consider what am paying for white
print paper. If they'd only send me quarter as
many pounds in the form of blank sheets they
would certainly help lot to win the war right
around in this immediate locality. Glancing over
this material from time to time have found
that it has good deal to say about the vital need
of coordinating things. Coordination eliminates
waste and promotes efficiency. l. was going to

coordination, paste them on sheet and send it

would get together and decide on what should be

HANDS MUST BE CLEAN

against the plan of few French socialists to meet
with German workmen in neutral country to
talk over peace plans. .,.. T. 49,. :, -. =.

to peace meeting with clean hands, and as long
as kaiserism is their god their hands are stained
with savagery, inhumanity and gross injustice
American labor will never clasp such hand

FOR THE KIDDIES

A father writes in to explain his thrift stamp
program which is like this: Il have two cnil-
dren who in about five years will be starting IN
high school. Then they'll need more money than
now. I'm beginning to save that extra money
now by investing in one thrift stamp for each
every day. That will make SIS year for each
child in 1923, besides which all the money they
earn and save is added to what mother and
call their high school thrift fund"
~ In the above there is big, solid chunk OF
good advice for all parents who are wondering how
they'll give their children full dose of educa-
ton. .~

WITH THE EDITORS
TOEING THE; MARK

Viewed from every standpoint, crop cond-
tions in North Dakota are very satisfactory, and
while bumper crop is never certain, the fact re-
mains that conditions now point to crop far
above normal, and bumper crop is within the
possibility. Judging from the present outlook, the
North Dakota farmer who went "over the top
with Liberty loans and Red Cross donations, will
also go "over the top" with a war-winning crop.

approved law forbidding interstate shipment of
products of child labor.
Now all this work has been undone by five
to four reactionary decision of the United States
supreme court. In order to knock out the law,
Justice Day, who handed down the opinion in
voked the sacred fetch of state rights. Justice
Holmes, in his dissenting opinion, concurred in by
Justices McKenna, Brandeis and Clarke, put the
case so clearly that he who runs may read:
1.-THE act does not NEEDLE with any
thing belonging to the states. They may
regulate their internal affairs and their
domestic commerce as they like But
when they seek to send their products
across the state line they are no longer
within their rights. If there were no
constitution and no congress their power
to cross the line would depend upon their
neighbours"
In other words, North Carolina mills may
employ child labor all they want and peddle their
blood-stained goods all over the state. But it is
up to other states to say whether they desire to
have such goods shipped into their confines.
Nothing that is North Cardinals by right is
interfered with. But the states of the union,
speaking through their duly elected representa-
tives in congress and through the president, have
joined by majority vote in saying what they
will permit to be shipped outside of North Caro-
lima North Carolina has no inherent right to
dictate to other states what kind Of stuff she
shall be permitted to sell within their borders.
The law, the logic, the common sense and the
humanity Of the Holmes dissenting opinion are
unanswerable. Greedy, dollar-chasing mill own
ers alone will rejoice in Justice Days dictum.
And what, in the meantime, has become of

Kidney disease is no respecter Of per
sons. It attacks all classes, regardless OF
age, sex or conditions. A majority OF
the ills affecting people today can be
traced back to the kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the fill
terers, the purifiers, of your blood. If
the poisons which are swept from the
tissues by the blood are not eliminated
through the kidneys, disease of one form
or another will claim you as a victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness, de-
spondency, backache, stomach trouble,
difficulty when urinating, pain in loins
and lower abdomen, gall stones, gravel,
rheumatism, s~ciatica and lumbago.
All these arrangements are natures
signals to warn you that the kidneys
need help. You should use GOLD

FRENCH PREMIER SAYS
FIGHT WILL CONTINUE

PARIS.-(Havas.)-"We will figh
until the hour the enemy comes to under
stand that bargaining between crime ane
right is no longer possible" declared
Premier Clemenceau in an eloquent i'd
dress in the senate last evening. "We
want a just and strong peace, protecting
the future against the denominations of
the past"
The premier, who was enthusiastically
! greeted, was given an ovation as he con-
cluded, and the n voted his address
should be posted throughout the country.
In beginning, M. Clemenceau spoke of
the gratitude the people of the allied ma
tons feel toward those marvellous sol
diers of the entente" by whom those
nations would at least be liberated from
the barbarian menace
Recalls Hun Attitude.
He recalled the threatening attitude OF
Germany toward pacific France, which
had endured for a half century the
infamous wounds, brutalities and tyran-
MES of an enemy who would not forgive
us for having saved from the wreck the
consciousness of right and our indefen-
sible claims of independence
He pointed out how, without the
slightest pretext, Germany hurled her
self upon French territory, devastated
the fields of France, burned and pillaged
her towns and villages and enslaved her
men, women and children.
"The enemy thought that victory
would cause all this to be pardoned,'
continued the premier, "but fortune has
changed. The day of glory has come.
Our SON. are completing the formidable
task of their fathers, and, with brotherly
nations, are securing a supreme victory.
All right-minded humanity is with our
troops, who are liberating the nations
from the Juror of evil force"
Reply to Austria.
The Paris newspapers treat Premier
Clemenceau's speech as in effect a reply
to the Austro-Hungarian peace note,
coupling it with that of Arthur J. Bal
four, the British foreign secretary. They
declare that the responses which Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary Balfour and Pre-
mier Clemenceau have made show them
in agreement on the question and as I'M
willing to permit a discussion of peace
which would dissipate the storm driving
against the central powers.

soldiers, and an instance of the serv-
ice rendered is. given in a story told
of the recent fighting. On the morn
ing of the American advance against
the st. Mihiel salient a Y. M. c. A.
mar appeared among the soldiers
carrying a huge pack on his back. He
did not explain his presence except
by a whispered word to a company
commander, who nodded approval.
When the order to advance came, he
moved with the men. At the first
pause, while the soldiers sheltered
behind the little rise of ground, the
Y. M. C. A. man made his way from
soldier to soldier, giving each a cake
of chocolate and a bunch of cigar
cites. When his pack was exhausted
he returned to the rear, but reappear-
ed in a few hours with another bundle.
He repeated his trips until his organi-
zation was able to bring up supplies
in larger quantities.
