THE AMERICAN DRIVE.
Before Pershng's Men Now Lies the
Formidable Fortress of Metz.

The superbly organized drive by
the American forces at ST. Mihiel
salient gives for the first time a
chance to estimate American military
ability on large scale. We have
previously had abundant demonstra-
ton of the force and spirit of the
individual soldier, and of small
units. Now we begin to see what
will happen when all this individual
force is organized in great drive.
The German drives Of March Fl
and May s27 had to sweep over no
such rough, hilly, and wooded
ground as this, offering every chance
for defense. The Hun drives won
out by concentrating enormous for
ces over sectors of the line so or
more miles wide, and the number of
trained American soldiers is not yet
great enough for that. No offensive
over an equal length of line and
working against equal difficulties
ever made so rapid progress. Early
in the war the French fought nobly
to regain this coveted terrain, but
the task was too much for them.
American capacity for quick, de-
termined, forceful action has swept
away these Boche defences that
were able to stand any previous
shocks in this war and has made a
big bag of prisoners.
We must still not be confident of
too speedy Irritation from this SUI
purb triumph. Before Pershing's
men now lies the formidable fortress
of Metz. For 800 years this city,
situated in the junction between the
Moselle and Seille rivers, and sur
rounded by hills, was regarded as
one of the strongest fortresses In
Europe. The Germans have greatly
strengthened it since 1914. Sur
rounded by circle of forts, II
blocks the way to a vulnerable en-
trance to Germany. 1t would be
very costly to take it by frontal at
tack. The pincers movement working
north and south will reduce it in
time, in spite of the difficult line OF
hills first to be traversed.

SERVICE FLAG FOR WINNEsHIEK
Beautiful Flag of Very Best Material
Will be Purchased by Commercial
Club.

Winneshiek county will soon have
a beautiful service flag in honor of
the many brave boys in the army
from this county. 1t will be Win
neshiek County Service Flag, and will
be presented by the DEBORAH Com
mercial Club. We do not know the
exact number of boys in the service
from this county, but believe the
number is around 500, possibly
more. Each boy will have star on
the flag, and gold star will be plaC-
ed in honor of those who have given
up their lives.
Twenty of our boys have passed,
away, quite few of them having
made the supreme sacrifice on the.
battelfelds of France. They are.
Anton Bernatz, Albert Lien, Evind
Hamre, Geo. Biers, Guy Moe, Helof
Holm. Others who died in camps in
this county are Geo. Mccall, Albert
Lane, Louis Stortz, Elmer G. lBulgren,
FIT. Atkinson, Norman Selsaas, O3-
sian, Geo. Stensath, Calmar, Helmer
Forde, Ole Steine, Sigurd Tolstad.
The above list is as near com
plete as We could get at this writing.
The flag will be here soon and will
be displayed in prominent place in
the business section of the city.

AMUSEMENTSANDr
The WAR TAX.
Owner of Harvey's Greater Min
strels Says "War. Tax" Had Not
Reduced Their Attendance.
SHOW COMING TO
DEBORAH OCT. "a
Big Street Parade i'm the Afternoon
at Four O'Clock, Introducing
Several Big Novelties.

Mr. R. NJ. Harvey, the owner of
Harvey's Greater Minstrels in a re-
cent newspaper interview declared
that the imposing of the "war tax"
had not reduced their attendance, but
that if anything it seemed to help.
II have frequently overheard re-
marks at the theatre door which in
dicated that our patrons felt that
they could enjoy the entertainment
better and would feel more free to
laugh and applaud if as they sat in
the comfortable theatre seats, safe
from enemy bullets and sharing the
innocent amusement of the day while
many boys whom they knew were de-
prived of such pleasures and endur-
ing the privations of the trenches or
possibly facing the enemy shells and
bullets on the open field of battle,
that they felt much better knowing
that by his attendance at the Min
strels he had not only patronized
worthy, meritorius and satisfying at
traction, but that they had by con-
tributing the few pennies war tax on
admission tickets helped pay the
salaries and provide all possible COM
forts for the patriotic American
abroad.
oil tn M IIa
that while the imposition of the
war. tax on theatre tickets has cut
down theatrical attendance somewhat
according to reports from the me-
trepolitan centers that that fact is
accounted for by the other taxes
which make it difficult for the man
with the fixed wages in large city
to endure. In the agricultural states
and smaller cities, the people arr
better off financially and are not to
such an extent limited to fixed salar-
les or given to meeting requirements
and conditions which call for con-
slant payment of the war tax so
much as in the big cities. hence the
few pennies. war tax on the admis-
sion tickets to Harvey's Greater
Minstrels does not seem to interfere
with their disposition to attend. Then
too we are offering show which
should and would ordinarily bring
in liberal patronage at high prices.
However the ticket that We should
sell for one dollar we sell for Is
cents, this plus the eight cents war
tax makes it still much less than the
dollar price, while those who are
satisfied with a seat costing only
fifty cents pay only five cents war
tax and get>a seat for fifty-five cents
which would sell, at seyenty-five
ordinarily"

DEEDS WIFE
DECLARED GOOD
Court Finds That They Were Made to
Pay an Actual Debt Owed by
the Husband and Were
Justified In Law.

Judge Bank in the district court de-
cided that the deeds to some property
in Keokuk and Missouri made by O..
W. Ellsworth to his wife were valid
and good and the temorary injunction
aaginst her disposing of the property
was dissolved and the suit of DR.. Q. T.
Clark against Ellsworth was dis
missed at plaintiffs cost
DR.. Clark held three notes Of Ellis
worths aggregating $1,517, on which
he obtained Judgment when Ellsworth
was unfortunate In business affairs.
Ellsworth decided some real estate to
his wife, and Clark sued to set the
deeds aside on the ground that they
were made to defraud the creditors
and prevent collection Of Clark's
Judgment claim.
Ellsworth claimed that the deeds
we're made to pay his wife part OF ST..
500 which she had loaned him in the
regular way and which was a bona
fide debt from him to her. The deci-
sion of the court upholds his claim and
right to protect his wife as one credi-
tor. If he chose to do so, against the
others.

IN THE DAYS OF CREATORS.

Meredith Nicholson, in Scribners:
Western chronicles lay great stress
upon the oratorical powers or both
ministers and politicians. Henry
Ward Beecher, who held pastorate
at indianapolis 1S39-4O, was al
ready famed as an eloquent preacher
before he moved to Brooklyn. Not
long ago l heard a number OF dis
tinguished politicians discussing
American oratory. Some one men
toned the addresses delivered by
Beecher in England during the civil
war, and there was general agree,
ment that one of these. the Liverpool
speech. was probably the greatest OF
American orations-a sweeping state
ment, but it's irresistible logic and a
sense of the hostile atmosphere 10
which it was spoken may still be
felt in the printed page.
The tradition Of Lincoln's power
as an orator is well fortified by the
great company Of contemporaries
who wrote of him, as well as by the
text of his speeches, which still vi
