ish army has withstood many times
Its own weight OF enemy masses 1t
has retired slowly. exacting the full.

bulk OF the French in reserve, sending
units only TO points hard pressed. This
strategy has justified itself in that In
three weeks II has seen the enemy
brought to a standstill without a sin.
gle strategic objective being fulfilled
and with losses so immense that his
reserve is in danger OF proving made
quate to his policy.
THE German commander, seeing
how nearly he Is delivering himself
to the allied reserve, has been com.
PEELED to accept temporary failure
and call halt. His position is tacti-
cally exposed In two dangerous sail
ents on waterlogged ground. His
countryment are dangerously dissat-
isied at the immense price paid FOR
his failure to terminate their suffer
ings. His allies are on the verge Of
quarrelling and daily exhibit their
growing dislike and distrust OF the
task master who robs them of their
lives and food.
His reserves have nearly reached
complete exhaustion. Those OF the
Franco British are still in being,
while the American preparations de.
velop. The tine draws closer when
defeat is inevitable. Therefore, he
must renew the offensive. His prep,
arations proceed feverishly but It
takes months properly to organize
such an offensive. He must be sat,
isfed with what he can do in weeks
We may, therefore, expect a renewed.
furious onslaught before long The
enemy is so committed to his stra.e.
gical plans that We may await his
main blow on the Arras.Amiens front
while necessity compels him to try TO
improve his position in the Lys sector
THE allies may have complete con
fdence in the result. For the enemy
the issue is desperate endeavor to
avoid defeat; for the allies the issue
is only that OF victory deferred. The

Russia Has No Highways,
Says Russian Engineer
Is In North Dakota to Study Highway
System And Road Making.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept 11.-Russia
has no highways, says John Zubko,
bridge engineer highway department.
Russian mission of ways Of communi-
cations, who arrived yesterday to
study North Dakota's highway sys-
tenn. I'm the olden times when the
car needed a road to travel from one
place to another, it was built, and
when courier of the czar had oc-
casion to travel over highway al
ready built and found it bad, it was
repaired. Then came the railway, and
Russia devoted every penny it could
levy to the construction of the finest
and most convenient railway system
in Europe. And highways were ne
elected. Today we have no national
system of highways. We have a ma
tional highway department which CO.
operates with local departments, and
is not done each blames the other.
Because Of our poor roads, in all
Russia, with its 2OO,0Oo,O0O people,
we have less than 100000 automobiles
while here in America, with 100000
900 people, you have more than g.
100000 cars. After the war we hope
to do something, for that reason we
are now studying your American
ways"
MOSt Oh all, 'COnLlnueO MT. LuDkO
I'VE need your American road build
ing machinery. In the past we have
done all this work by manual labor.
1t will be impossible after the war to
find this labor. We must do every
thing we can by machinery, and we
will look to America for it,
Today State Engineer Jay w. Bliss
and the Russian bridge engineer are
inspecting state highway projects
near Dickinson. Later they will visit
other sections of the state where work
is in progress under state and federal
supervision.

and is a disease that is easily over
looked"
Buyers here report that many of
the diseased potatoes have been pur-

RIPPLING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
Good.hy Summer.

Oh, summertime. farewell! It's
time to toll your knell, and no one
sheds a sigh; you've been on deck so
long, you've spread it, on so strong!
Oh. summertime, good-by! Oh, sum-
mertime, in books you. with your
babbling brooks, have had lot Of
praise; but people now on earth have
had their moneys worth of sizzling,
scorching days. The poets, Tyres in
arm, have often sung your charm.
their melody enchants; but no one
sees them rise to sing about your
flies, your chiggers and your ants.
They sing Of bosky dells and zephyrs
wearing bells. and sunsets rich and
red; they have no language sweet
concerning prickly heat, and Sleep
less nights in bed. Oh. summer, fade
and flee! Your name is Twenty
three, your motto is "Avaunt!"
You've put us all in bad, and all Of
Us have had lot more than we want.
Oh, summertime, so long! You live
in tale and song as something grand
and fine; with me you make no hit;
I'm willing to admit I've had enough
in mine.

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS
The privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence of the issue of 4
per cent bonds Of the third Liberty
Loan will expire on November 9 next
and under existing law cannot be ex-
tended or renewed. Delay ip exercis-
ing the privilege will result in over
burdening the banking institutions Of
the country and the treasury depart
nent by making it necessary to handle
all conversions at the last moment and
may result in many cases in the loss
of the privilege Of conversion alto
gether.
Holders Of coupon bonds are strong
ly advised to exchange them for regis
tered bonds in order to protect them
selves against the risk of loss, theft,
and destruction Of their bonds.
The banks throughout the country,
as matter of patriotic service, will
doubtless all assist bondholders in

DEFENSE COUNCILS
Work Being Taken Up by Bodies
ALL Over Country

Washinton, Nov. 8-Important work
among the foreign-born population is
being done by the Americanization
committees Of the State Council of De-
fensG. About thirty of the state coun-
els now have special committees for
thj& work. In most cases their or
EaniZatiOn extends also into counties
aud into communities. These widely
scattered agencies receive advice and
suggestions from a central Office in
Washington which is part of the
council of National Defense.
The teaching of English is one of
the biggest tasks. This is by no means
tho simple affair it might seem to be,
for q middle-aged immigrant is some
times unable and frequently unwilling
to undertake to learn a new language
at his time of life. To persuade him
to learn English, the Americanization
workers in the councils have to show
him that it is practically impossible to
become educated in American customs
and ideals unless he under
stands the language spoken by the
great masses of the American people.
The younger people in the foreign
groups respond more quickly. Most

work among the foreign born.
The councils of defense are partic-
ularly Interested in the emergency
wartime features of Americanization.
But they are also looking to the fu-
ture, to the re-making of the nations
which will come with peace. There is
huge task of education to be ac-
complished, through the whole nation,
natfve-born and foreign-b born. A
slogan has been chosen by the Ameri-

National Defense and recommend to
the state and smaller councils OF de-
Tense, which shows something of the
spirit that is being put into the work
The slogan reads: All for America!
Native-born and foreign-born! Any
thing is good that brings us together."
