have checked the German drive in
the region west of Armentieres and
this enemy effort like the one in
Pieardy seems definitely stopped. The
Germans have spent thousands of
lives in reckless attacks to break
through the British lines or to de-
stroy the British army but the effort
has ben without the result desired.
Against the American sector south
OF Verdun, German storminu troops
hurled themselves Sunday. American
infantrymen beat the enemy in hot
fighting. The enemy withdrew to
his trenches with the loss of nearly
100. Northwest Of TouI the GER
mans have. not repeated the attacks
which cost them 400 casualties.
About Neuve Eglise and before
Bailleul Field Marshal Haig's batter
ed divisions have been putting up
desperate resistance. NeuVe EgIise
has changed hands several times in
fight in which the enemy suffered
grieVously. II is an important
strategic as il is one of the outposts
OF the Messines ridge.
Although they have been but q
little more than a mile from Bailleul,
a valuable position, for two days,
the Germans have not been able TO
advance more than several hundred
yards. West of the town they have
been repuIsed, and south, around
Merris their efforts also have gone
for naught.
On the remainder of the front in
Artois there has been no change.
Near the Apex OF their salient at
MerviIle the Germans attempted an
attack but were dispersed by artil-
lery fire. In Flanders and along the
Messines ridge there have been no
further actions and the British hold
the heights on the south.
On either wing of the sharp salient
around ST. MihisI the American
troops in the last few days have
been beating off strong German at
up his efforts northwest of Toul and
east of ST. MihieI where he was re-
pulsed in two days of hard fighting
by the Americans in Agreement
forest. The artillery duel here isI
heavy.
Sundays attack on the American
sector came after a violent lombard
ment and was made by picked enemy
troops. Prisoners were captured by
the Americans and "a German dead
and ten wounded were found in the
enemy trenches, while just beyond
them were 30 more enemy dead. The
Americans with hand grenades and
bayonets went out of their positions
to meet the oneoming Germans. Two
American aviators have brought
down two German fighting airplanes,
the enemy filters being captured.
There has been no activity on the
Picardy battle front and on the re-
mainder of the western front except
for artillery duels.
Count Czernin has resigned as
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister
and Emperor Charles has accepted
his resignation. The steps leading to
the counts act are not disclosed as
yet but the publication by the French
government of the emperor's peace
offer letter to France early in 1917
probably FASTENED his withdrawal.
Count Czernin remains in office un-
ell . successor is announced.

Big RALLY MARKS
FORMAL OPENING
OF LIBERTY LOAN
DRIVE IN FARGO
Former Congressman T..
M. Nye Gives Stirring
Patriotic Address
FAREWELL TO
Z. B. HANNA
Former Governor Given
Rousing Reception BY
His Fellow Townsmen

On the eve OF Fargo's Liberty loan
drive, fully 1000 persons attended
the rally held in the auditorium last
evening, and heard inspiring adj
dresses by former Congressman
Frank NJ. Nye of Minneapolis and
former Governor L. B. Hanna of
Fargo.
In addition to being the big rally
meeting OF the Liberty loan cam
paign, 1t was a farewell to Mr..
Hanna, who will leave tomorrow
evening for IAN Atlantic Port" from
which he will said for France to be-
gin his service with the Red Cross.
The arrangements for the meet
ing last evening were in charge of
the members OF the Fargo Rotary
club. T. d. Hughes. chairman Of the
Cass County Liberty Loan CON-
mittee, was chairman, and mem
bers of the Cass county committee
and of the Rotary club occupied
seats on the platform. the latter
leading in the patriotic songs that
were sung during the evening.
Several unusual features added in
terest to the program. Mr.. Hanna
displayed what he said was the most
expensive flag in America. Tt was
had been auctioned for $4,000, the
money going to the Red Cross. He
was asked to take Ii with him and
auction il again If the opportunity
presented itself.
Chairman T. d. Hughes also pre-
scented Master Robert Garmire Of
Fargo, aged s. Master Robert has
recently come to the city from Fort
Wayne, Ind, and Mr.. Hughes intro
duced him as the youngest and the
first buyer of the third Liberty bonds
for this county. He sent back home
for his savings bank deposits, and
invested all of them in bonds.
Mr.. Nys's Address.
Mr.. Nye held the closest attention
Of his audience for more than an
hour. He contrasted the two forms
Of government, the German and the
American. The former, he said, is
founded on the theory that might Is
right and the latter on the theory
that right is might. He drew some
striking comparisons between Bis
marck and Lincoln and made an
earnest appeal to uphold the hands
Of the President.
"He is the captain of the ship"
said Mr.. Nye. 1--WE are on a stormy
sea, and any man who by word or
deed, fails to do his part in seeing
that the captains orders are obeyed.

Ovation For MIR. Hanna.
Mr.. Hanna was given a reception
that evidently touched him. The APP
plause lasted for fully a minute and
the speaker was apparently deeply
moved by the tribute of his neigh |
oors and fellow townsruen.
He spoke very briefly reviewing |
the wonderful growth in rational
spirit that had been manifested dur |

is granted, to utilize the time Of his
absence solely and completely In
farming, to work earnestly and well,
and that lie for any reason his serY-
ices cease to be urgently needed be-
fore the expiration of his furlough,
he will report Immediately for mill
tary duty at his proper post. The
application then goes to the COM
handing officer for his approval,
which completes the contract
Burroughs For Short Periods.
Burroughs granted in this order
will be for short periods, largely for
seeding and harvesting time. They
may be given by commanding officers
OF posts. camps, cantonments. divi-
sions and departments. Such fur
loughs will not be granted enlisted
men or those above the grade of first
sergeant. nor will they be granted in
an organization that has been order
ed or is in transit from points Of
mobilization or training to a port Of
embarkation; and all furloughs
granted will be recalled and the men
ordered to their organizations when
the latter have received preparatory
orders for duty overseas. F'urloughs
granted under this order will be
without pay and allowances. except
that enough pay will be retained in
each case to meet allotments in force
on the date of this order, war-risk
insurance and pledges on Liberty
bonds.
Tt is feared that North Dakota will
derive little advantage from this fur
Tough provision, although $500 men
who were called from this state with
in the last month may be considered
available. Those who went earlier to
Camp Dodge have been split up and
assigned to other commands for
overseas service. Some of these men
may now be en- route to France, and
it is certain that a majority Of them
soon will be called to embark.

Under the original amendment the

that the old dates should be moved
