The necessity Of keeping an eye
upon the Importance of sea power in

attention claimed by the land battles,
is emphasized by Archibald Hurd, the
naval expert, writing in the London
Daily Telegraph.
we have been apt during the recent
ofensives on the western 'front.'" Mr..
Hurd writes, Ito overlook other as
poets Of the war-notably the funda-
mental factor, which is sea power.
After a period Of fifteen months, dur
ing which our strength in ships has
steadily declined, the downward ten
dency now has been definitely arrest

100000 Tons Of Shipping.
"Seven million tons Of shipping en-.
ter or leave our ports monthly. Each
ship is the target for enemy subma-
rines, yet there have been days in the
present week when the enemy has not
secured a single ship.
"Twelve months ago we were with
difficulty maintaining one stream Of
traffic, namely, that which brought US
food and raw material. Today sup
plies are flowing through this main
artery in greater volume than a year
ago. At the same time another stream
Of traffic has started and merchant
shipping has been made available for
the greatest transport movement which
has ever been carried out.
'""FOr three months past American
troops have been coming across the
Atlantic by tens Of thousands, far fast

tween the allies and the central DOW
ers is being adjusted in favor Of the
former.
Reason for Confidence.
viewing the war in its various as
pects-naval, military and economic
we have every reason for confidence.
The tide is distinctly turning, and turn
ing, let us hope, for the last time. The
submarine menace is being held. The
allied armies are increasing in rela-
tive strength. The food position of
this country, Of France and of Italy is
Improving, and shipbuilding, both in
British and American yards, is pro.
ceeding at a greatly accelerated pace,
There is assurance that by the end of
December at least 100000 tons will
have been put into the water here and
In the United States and that figure
may be considerably exceeded.
ION the other hand, the enemy's
s1nkings Of British and allied tonnage
have been so considerably reduced ow.
ing to the activities of the allied navies
and the courage and resource Of their
merchant seamen that it is practically
certain there will be q balance Of ship
ping on the right side.
I'm q word, the relative naval, mill.
tary and economic strength Of the al
lies is steadily increasing at a moment
when the enemy is feeling the cumula-
tive effects of the blockade maintained
over a period Of nearly four years
with increasing stringency, and, Of the
wal on land, which not only has re-
suited in heavy casualties, but has
drained the central powers Of indus

first line of trenches was killed, and
on every side there were the dead

MAYOR REMOVES
CITY ENGINEER

Approved.
OIL. --
City Council at Regular
Meeting Passes, Two
New Ordinances.

Mayor H. NJ. Wheeler last night in
formed the city council. at it's regular
monthly meeting, that he had remov-
ed City Engineer j. j.. Smith and ap-
pointed E. F. Chandler in his place.
The reason for the change made in
the mayors official family was the
fact hat Mr.. Smith had been connect
ed with the engineering department
OF a neighboring city, and the mayor
thought that the position in Grand
Forks demanded the undivided energy
and attention of the city engineer.
The council. in approving the new ap-
pointment, indicated that it shared
the mayors view Of the matter.
The ordinance authorizing the issu-
ance of 100000 refunding waterworks
bonds and providing for the levying of
annual taxes for the payment of the
amount, was given its second reading
and passed. The ordinance establish
ing Improvement District No. 2 was
likewise adopted after it's second
reading.
Police Want Higher Salary.
The members Of the local police
force are feeling the pinch of war
time prices, according to Alderman
w. S. Whitman who introduced the
question Of whether or not an increase
IN salary would not be both opportune
and necessary. This led to a discus
sion of salaries and wages in other
city departments, and the tentative
outcome Of the matter was that the
mayor appointed the following alder
men a committee to investigate the
salary problem in all it's phases:
Louis Kleven, j. D. Turner, w. S.
Whitman. A. G. Lockman and w. H.
Kelsey. The committee will make its
recommendations at the next meeting
of the council.

Il take great pleasure in reporting
that our city is practically free from

scarlet fever.
The incinerator under the able
management of Mr.. Newark is doing
excellent work, caring for about rs
loads of garbage every week. Din

Friday morning I visited the abat-
toir and am pleased to say that under
the management of Harry Burton ev-
erything is running nicely. It is kept
clean and, as free from flies as it is
possible to keep such places. The
e%nvirons are as sanitary as they can
possibly be. :
cit is only a short time until you
are called on to make some repairs
to this building. The cooler leaks
badly, allowing the meat at times, to
become saturated.
Orders have been issued so that ice
cream tubs are no longer allowed a
resting. place on the sidewalks. They
must be kept under until called
for. u, S.t
When Lieutenant DR.. Mc1ntosh, U.
S. A., located at the university, made
an inspection of our city he found
many: of the garbage receptacles a
breeding. place for flies for the reason
that they were not properly covered,
and in some instances. not properly
constructed. This has now been cor
rected. and the garbage situation IL re-
