Berlin Construction Company Loans.
The employees of the Berlin Con-
struction Co. have subscribed ST.
600 to the Third Liberty Loan. Out
of approximately It's employees, 145
subscribed to this amount. Those who
could not subscribe were employees
who were paying off the first and
second bonds. Every employe OF
this company holds at least one Lib
erty Bond. and Il great many of them
hold bonds of each issue.
In talking with a number of these
rlen they are very profuse in ac-
kEowledging these bonds to be an ex-
cellent method Of saving money for
themselves. Many of them never
saved dollar before and now have
Il little nest egg stored away for
rainy day. They also appreciate the
fact that their contributing to the
purchase of these Liberty Bonds
Tleans help to their government to
finance the many requirements of
this war.
The employees of the Berlin Con-
struction company are Of many ma
tionalities, including Austrians and
Germans, but they have assimilated
themselves with the American GUS
toms and habits. and are now one
great melting pot out of which has
come the present American race.
1t is highly gratifying to note that
the employees of the company have
made such a fine showing in sub
scribing to the third loan, and the
company officers arc pleased with
the result.
The employees have also started
among themselves the "Bercon War
Savings Society" and are doing ex-
ccllent work in the sale of War Say
ings Stamps and Thrift Stamps, MAX
ing an cnviab1e record for them
selves.

political game, and whether one
agrees with his conclusions or not,
they are interesting because of the
viewpoint they represent. His edi-
torial, under the caption Lines Now
Drawn, follows :
"Mr. Townley went into secret ses-
sion with a few hand picked repre-
sentatives of his political profiteers
league, and selected a ticket for state
officers, to go on the primary ballot
THE man selected as a candidate
for governor is c. A. Lindbergh of
Little Falls, former congressman of
this district.
eve presume he will file as a
Republican candidate. as that is a
habit he has-although once elected
he is very radical anti-Republi-
can. ..,..., H.. .
The contest will be between Gov
ernoE Burnquist and Mr., Lindbergh.
The men who are 100 per cent
American will support BurnQuist. The
governor will get no votes from the
kaiser kin. He win get no votes from
the men who are against the govern
ment. and who are not loyal to this
country The votes that Burnqulst
receives will be cast by men who
want to see the United States win in
this war, and to win with honor in
the shortest time. They are the men
who will back up the government to
the limit.
TT remains to be seen whether
there are more of this kind Of men in
Minnesota than the other.
Personally. Mr.. Lindbergh is a
very pleasant gentleman. Politically
he is a good deal Of a mystery, prob
ably even to himself He is very
much Of a gallery player, and while
he is a hard worker, and is tenacious
along certain lines, he often acts ap-
parently on the within of the moment,
when it comes down to acting.
+"The governor Of a state is the
chief executive, and should have
executive ability. In this quality he
is lacking. When he was first elected
to congress he was called upon to
name postmasters in his district. The
report was that he or his friends
had made so many promises TO
aspirants in each town that when it
came to delivering the goods. there
was trouble. much trouble. Shortly
after this ,Lindbergh broke with the
Taft administration. 1t was so Vici-
Gus a break that he was relieved of
the task Of naming pOstmasters.
There is a, belief that he made this
break deliberately to escape from the
political mess he had created
Whether this view is correct or not,

ed the role of martyr very success

Under the rule OF Townley how
ever, it may not be necessary for the
governor to have executive ability
Townley having enough.
There is also stubborn streak in
Lindbergh, and should the impossible
happen and. he be elected, he might
turn his back on Townley-and there
would be more hell to pay in Min
nesota in two years than there has
been in half a century.
THE fight between BurnquisE and
Lindbergh is going to be verS bit
ter.
"But when IL is over. there will be
well defined line between the men
who are loyal to the country and to
Minnesota and the other kind"

If 1t Is, Germany Has Been

CBy Associated rress.)

Washington, March %. Even
word from London that the drive
launched yesterday by the Germans
on the western front, is on a larger
scale than any undertaken there
since the war began, has failed K
convince American military obsery-
ers that the long heralded German
offensive is at hand. They are walt
ing for the full scope of the enemy
action against both British and
French fronts to be made clear, and
still believe that the logic Of the sit
uation points away from a German
offensive in the west at this time.
There was a distinct feeling last
night that the tumult Of the Ger
man guns might cloak some other
purpose than to commit the issue Of
the war to desperate onsIaughts
against the all but impregnable al
lied lines in the west. Supreme con-
fidence in the power of those lines to
resist the shock characterized the
expressions of all officials here.
Some high army officers, heretofore
confident that the German position
on all fronts made a defensive at
titude in the west almost mandatory,
viewed with eagerness the possibility
that a great thrust at Paris or the
channel ports had been actually set
in motion. They believed only some
internal pressure that would not
brook wise counsel could force the
general staff to risk such a venture.
They believed too, that a German as
sault in the west now would bring
the ultimate triumph of the allied
cause close, because the resisting
power Of the allied armies is unshak-
able.
Defeat Is Certain.
IF this is in fact a German drive,
said one general officer Il will look
upon it as the most hopeful sign in
the war thus far. Defeat Of the Hun
is certain.
But l cannot believe that it Is a
real drive. Every requirement of
reason would direct the Germans to
press their exploitation Of Russia's
resources and R1ussia's man power to
the limit while they held the west
front locked against our efforts"
Reports from. Holland that a peace
offer had been made semi officially
to the entente by Germany caught
immediate attention. There was
nothing at the state department to
confirm this report, but some OBJ
servers saw the possibility that the
menace of the German guns had been
turned loose TO play laundering
prelude to such an offer for the eff
feet upon the French and British
people.
Others saw possible significance in
the fact that the German onslaught
comes quick on the heels OF the
acquisition of Dutch shipping by the
United States and the allies. 1t was
noted that the war college state
ment Of this week had predicted that
no German offensive in the west is
to be expected unless forced by the
general strategic situation. There
was speculation as to whether the
incident. of the Dutch ships might
not have created a motive for the
drive.
The purpose might be, 1t was said,

Nothing New For Dakotans.
So far as the average North Da-

Power Declines Place.
Surprise was occasioned yesterday
on receipt of dispatch from Duluth
announcing that Victor Power would
not be candidate for attorney gen

tion for that position. The dispatch
from Duluth says:
Mayor Victor L. Power Of Hibbing
will not be a candidate for attorney
general of Minnesota on the Non

cision late yesterday and no doubt
the information is now in the hands
Of the Nonpartisan leagues executive

comment further than that he would
not be on the Nonpartisan ticket"
