The Wahpeton Globe-Gazette has this cSm-
ment on the numerous arrests Of league organ
izers: .-
Many recent developments in connection
with the management of the Nonpartisan
league, the many indictments of league or
Eanizers in this and other states for seditious
utterances on the platform, the fact that as
time goes on nearly all, If not ALL the leading
Socialists Of the entire northwest are shown
to be active workers in this misnamed farm
ers' organization has caused good many
citizens to wonder what this co-called farm
ers' organization really is. --
During the past two years we have often
heard that this league was really the So
cialist party under another name and that
ceived the idea of misleading the farmers Of
the nation into paying the bills Of the So
cialist party by organizing farmers league.
Many Of have hardly been willing to
believe this, but the developments of the
past few months would force one TO believe

LAW FOR CONTROL OF WIRES
Three Cabinet Members Urge Prompt ActiO nby Congress.

Washington, July 2.-Plans for enacting legislation before the sum- mer recess authorizing Prea:dent Will son to take over telegraph, telephone, cable and radio systems proceeded in Congress today while three members Of the cabinet emphasized their ap- Drcvs! of the proposal before the h. terstate and Foreign Commerce Com mittees
 The House committee, after hearing Secretaries Baker end Daniels ana Postmaster General Burleson, ar ranged to meet tomorrow to prepare a report on the resolution of Repre- sentative Aswell of Louisiana, which has been endorsed by President Will son. The only fight expected is over the question of time limit for goy- erIment operation. A li1aii suggested today was opposed by*a three wit nesses.
 Secretary Daniels and Postmaster General Burleson advocated perma-
 
 nent government ownership of wire and radio communications Mir. Baker urged government control during the war as a military necessity to pro- tect government secrets and facilitate the transmission of government dis patches
 MT. Bprleson, long an advocate of government operation of communica- ticns, said the threatened strike was one reason for action at this time.
 Representative Gordon of Ohio moved the Aswell resolution be taken rom the Commerce Committee and be referred to the Military Commit tee, since it was proposed as mili- tary necessity The motion was car ried without opposition, but upon hearing a statement by Chairman: Sims of the Commerce Committee the House reversed itself.

FOURTH IS OBSERVED
 BY SMASHING HUNS
Australians, Americans, French, Ital- ians Take Part in Celebration Positions Improyed-Ger-
 man Losses Heavy.

Paris, July 5.-By a great surprise attack on the German lines, planned as a celebration of American Independ- ence Day, Australian troops have wrested from the Germans the village of Hamel, east of Amiens, occupied Vaire and Hamel woods, south of the village, and captured more than 1,50O prinsoners. The Australians advanc- ed under cover of a. smoke barrage and were led by tanks in breaking the enemy's line over a front of more than four miles. The attack penetrated a mile and half into the German posi- tions.
 The British War Office has an- nounced that American troops partici- pcted in the attack. This is the first time they have appeared in this part of the battle area.
 French Also Celebrate.
 The French also have struck savage ly against the German lines, cutting through the enemy ranks near the town of Autrenches, south of Moulin sousToutvent, where Tuesday night they won g, local success and captured prisoners. Here the Germans lost l. 066 prisoners
 In both operations the allies have improved their positions by gaining rather high ground which can be cas- lily defended if the Germans launch their expected offensive.
 Italians Continue to Advance. At the same time that the British, French and Americans were attack ing the enemy, the Italians continued . to advance in the area near the mouth l of the Piave. Scattered machine gun emplacements have been cleaned out, while light boats from the Italian navy have entered the lagoons on the left flank of the Austrian armies and have given valuable assistance to the land forces.

This does not include the amounts re- alizei from cold drinks and other ground concessions, which will prob ably run the total receipts to we'll over the $1,OOO mark.
 The day was opened by great pa rade which started at the old Johnson Hotel and passed through the main streets. A platoon of the Ashdown Home Guards led the parade as a guard of honor. In the psrade were large troops of girls dressed as Red Cross nurses. There was one group of children led by small Uncle Sam mic in the person of Will Roy Gools- by. The parade was not to be without it's clowns. There were two in regular circus regalia, Clifford Locke and H. B. Wilson, Then there were a large number of beautifully decorated cars decorated with the Red Cross and na- l tional colors Some of them were en- tirely covered with the decorations. | Immediately after the parade the welcome address was made by l. w. Holmes. The auction immediately was begun. The auctioneers were H. G Freddy, Clyde Herd, pr. R. L. Snyder and S. l. Midjlebroo.;s The articles to be sold ran over wide range from sl00 registered hogs to food and house. hold articles of every kind- The srti- cles were so numerous that the auc- tioneers working ill turn to rest each other required the entire day to com plete the sales. Everything sold .seadi- ly and at good prices. The sales. be- gan at II a. m. and were not com pleted until 5:31 with short interval for dinner
 The dinner was the old fashioned picnic style and was spread on the lawn in the shade. There was plenty of fish and everything that could have been desired and more than enough for all.
 | Immediately after dinner a short program was rendered in which Hon A. D. DuLaney in behalf of the Gov ernor and adjutant general presented the commissions to Capt. Geo. Briant lst Lieutenant J. C. Sanderson and 2nd Lieutenant A. s. Fellows of the Ash down Home Guards. The response was made by Hon. J. o. Llvesay. The remainder of the afternoon was con- sumed in the auction sale.
 IL is hoped to continue these sales monthly to help provide working fund for the Red Cross workers.
