The convention of the Peoples

at Minneapolis, saying, "their fight

The British casualties published
for the past weeks fighting totals &c.
900 killed, wounded and missing. It
is hardly conceivable that so many
were lost in any recent weeks fight
ing however, and it is entirely posi-
BILE that many of the men listed were

Great Britain has just gotten around
to give publicity to these figures.
England lost in the neighborhood of
a quarter of a million men during the
drive, but for the past two or three
weeks, the fighting has been rather
quiet on the western front. That the
Germans are preparing for another
big offensive is certain and it, is ex-
pected to begin at any moment. That
the Germans will succeed in pushing
the Allies back still further is to be
expected. The Austrian army is
likewise preparing for an offensive
against the Italians, but Italy will not
let them pass.
America now has between five and
six hundred thousand soldiers in
France, nearly as large a number of
soldiers as Canada has furnished for
the war. The Canadian soldiers have
saved the day for the Allies many a
time and America can be depended
upon to do the same. General Foch
is holding the American army back
to a certain extent, waiting until we
are there in great force and will not
call our men into the great battle I'M
til he is ready for his offensive, unless
compelled to do so.

conditions that they decided to re-
main there the rest of that sum-
mer and winter. Branching out
from this head camp the Vikings
went on journeys of exploration.
During one of these trips an abun-
dance of grapes were discovered,
and delighted beyond name by the
find, Left named the new country
Vineland, the land of fruitful
vines.
Left and his expedition returned
to Greenland, but his life of ad-
venture ended here, for with the
death of his father he became the
head of the people of Greenland.
In the year 1902, Leif's brother
made an expedition to the country
his brother had discovered, but, as
we are told, it came to grief. The
party was attacked by Indians,
and save for a few was wiped out.
This handful returned to Green.
land without a leader, for Left S
brother was killed in the fray. In
the year 1907 a Greenlander by the
credited name of Thorfin, set sail
for Vineland with three ships and
we are told he remained there
three years, trading with the In
dians. Thorfn had brought his
wife with him, and in Vineland
was born a son to Thorfin and
Gudrid, the first white child born
in America. From him-Snorri
Thorfnnson he was named came
long line of illustrious descen-
dents, many Of whom made their
mark in the history of Iceland and
Denmark, the line ending in mod
ern times in the famous Thorwald-
sen. the greatest sculptor of the
10Th century,"
The records of Viking explora-
ton after the year 1920 are incom-
plete and little is known about
further adventures, therefore all
must be left to speculation. Here
the runestone, found in Kensing-
ton, Mimi, appeals to us with in
creasing interest. The Vikings,
according to this rhinestone, ap-
peared there some three hundred
years after the last mentioned date.
1t would seem that the Vikings
made regular trips to the new land
and on each trip explored further
and further a-feld. But as to the
Vikings coming in by way OF. .Hud-
son Bay-what of this? According
to common conclusions they chose
a northern passage, or Lake Win
nipeg, and came up the Red River
of the North. 1t should be remem.
bered that the Red River flows
north, ordinarily against the nature
of streams, most of which flow
south. Just where the original
| Vineland should be we do not, OF
course, know. Some are of the
belief that the large river Leii
went up and anchored in was the
broad st. Lawrence. Some think
that Labrador was the land touched
upon. But by which route the
Minnesota region was reached is
hard to tell.
The words on the Kensington
rhinestone seem to be the missing
link that binds us to the mighty
deeds of the lost, dim ages!

having this fresh in mind put his
A. V. M on the rhinestone some
ten months later? As transcribed,
from the stones engravings, 10
men were left with the large ves-
sci in Hudson Bay. possibly Lake
Winnipeg, (the sea-, to watch the
vessel, and it required about IA
days to row up the stream to the
point where the stone record was
carved. When it is remembered
that Lord Selkirk's settlement was
planted in the present Manitoba,
early in the 10Th century, by fol-
lowing this same route, it would
have been an easy matter for the
bold and venturesome Vikings to
have come to Minnesota.
AS has been stated, of the vi
kings and their voyages, and their
fights, we have only the old sagas
to 60 by. Fierce. bold, death-de-
flying they went as far as human
means could convey them. They
ravaged the coasts of Southern
Europe, and bore home plunder.
Like the savage tribes their lives
seemed but shaped for one pur-
pose: to explore and to fight.
The earliest of these Viking ad-
venturers that we know of, through
the records, is Eric-the- Red. He
fled from Norway to Iceland in $50:
he was murderer with a bounty
on his head. In Iceland this hot.
headed adventurer again committed
murder and found it best to flee
from there. On the impulse OF
the moment he decided to fare to
the westward where no Vikings
had hitherto gone. He prepared
his ship, and with a crew Of hardy
men he set out. In the year 987
he discovered land and because il
was direct opposite from a greer
land he named it Greenland. He
later returned to Iceland, and told
the people wonderful stories OF
the new land he had discovered
The result was that great body
of colonists left with him fol
Greenland and settled on it.
In the meantime great adven-
turer by the name of Biarni hao
brought the news of the new dis
coveries to Norway and the inter
est of the people was aroused. A
son of Eric-the-Red was particu
larly interested. This was Lei
(Eric's son) who provided a shil
for the trip to be made in search
of newer lands. In story ane
song this Left Ericsson was to bt
known to the world, as he is now
known and will always be known
he was one of the boldest of the
adventures of all time. Arriving
at Greenland, Eric the-Red, nov
an old man, had decided to g
with him, but his age forbade him
so he remained at Greenland, Civ
| ing the command to his son. Tht
voyage that Left made was a lons
one, and no doubt fraught with
innumerable hardships. He finally
discovered the mainland, as we be-
lieve, of America, It was {
mighty wonderful country they
found, a country of. gigantic tim

New York, March 15.-Specialties
were subjected to irregular reversaIs
after their early advance in the stock

rails and metals. Canadian Pacific

seconds as at 96.O6 to 96.1B.
Equipment issues comprising the
war group were responsive to a fair

hour by Baldwin Locomotive and

such as Industrial Alcohol, Mating

showed extreme gains of 3 to 4 points,
