 Today's battle was difficult to fol low, for, beginning along a connected line it disintegrated into a series of local struggles Much of the ground intersected by a perfect network of little waterways, rendering it marshy and difficult for the troops to ad- vance against a deliberate defense; while between Le Cateau and Soles- mes We are approaching a thick for est Obviously, under such conditions news from the thirty mile front must be fragmentary and disconnected.

To this end the president has trans mitted his correspondence with the present German authorities to the al- lies powers.
 Not peace negotiations but surren- der" will be the demand if the United States has to deal with the military masters and the monarchical authori- ties of Germany.
 The allied armies in France and Belgium still are driving the Germans toward their border. but the progress now is comparatively slow.
 On the sectors that are requisite to the stability of the entire German line where a crash through probably would mean the immediate collapse of the whole of the defensive system the most stubborn resistance is being offered by the enemy. and what gains are being made by the allies are vir- tually foot by foot in the face of the hornets of the battle line-the ma chine guns.
 Particularly vicious fighting is in progress west of the Mouse, where the Americans in their endeavOrs to overcome the natural obstacles bar ring the way nOrthward to Sedan. are faced by picked troops with orders to hold them back at all costs; in the region from Le Cateau to the north of Valenciennes, where the British and some Americans gradually are tear ing their way through the enemy's front and between Tournay and Au-

NEWS MADE PUBLIC AT SAME TIME THAT PRESIDENT GAVE OUT HIS REPLY TO HUN NOTE ASKING FOR ARMIsTIcE TO BE ARRANGED; IS OUR ANSWER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-Em- barkation of 2,0os,931 American soldiers to take part in the war overseas was disclosed by core spondence between Secretary Baker and President Wilson given out at the White House tonight at the same time that the presi- dents reply to the German note was made public by the state de- partment.
 ''l am sure that this will be a matter of deep qualification and assurance to the country" said the president, replying to letter from Secretary Baker re- porting on the number of men who have sailed from American ports to October 21.
 The correspondence follows:
 War Department. October 22. 1918. My Dear MT. President: More than 2.000. poo American soldiers have sailed from the ports in this country to take part in the war overseas In reporting this fact to you l feel sure that you win be interested in the fol. lowing data. showing the progress of our military efforts.
 Tn my letter of July l. 1918. in- formed you that between May s. 1917. and June 30. 1918, over a million men had either landed in France or were en route thereto. Since July l. 1918. authorizations by month. have been as follows:
 July, 306, 6,1S5; August, 290.S1S; Sep tember, 261,415; October 1 to 21. 13I.- 39S Total. 9S9.S16.
 Embarked to July. 191S-1,O19.1l5. Grand total, 2.00S,931.
 In our overseas operations feel that we have good reason to be proud and thankful of the results obtained. Our losses have been exceedingly small. considering the size of the force transported, and this is due to the efficient protection given Amer iean conveys by the naval forces. We also have been greatly assisted in the despatch of troops abroad by the allO- cation of certain vessels from our all lies, principally those of Great Bri- tain.

The line here forms almost right angle with the French forces which have crossed the Aisne heading east- ward through the hilly and wooded region north of Grand Pre-. The Amer jeans stand along the base of the an- gle, heading northward into the same difficult territory and the fighting to- day indicated a pincer movement to force the enemy out of the angle com pletely, into the open ground beyond.
 If this is accomplished. the left flank of General Liggetts' American first army will be released, and ob- servers here feel confident that an American drive possibly covering the whole American front on both sides of the Mouse will shortly follow. The objective of such a thrust would be it is said, the smashing of the German left flank between Metz and Sedan.

MUCH DAMAGE IS
DONE BY STORM

The storm of Monday created great
er havoc than it was at first supposed
especially in Heman and Potter town.
ships. County Auditor Nelson in
forms the Times-Record that great
damage was done southwest of here
and that a hail and wind storm visit
ed that section that did immense DAM
age and was the worst storm of it's
kind that ever visited that section.
The hail pounded out all grain that
was uncut and swept over a strip of
country six miles wide and from 80 to
40 miles long. L. O. Kjelland, who
lives about IL or Ia miles southwest
of town, lost a big granary that
cost him $1700. liver Wilkinson lost a
large barn, O. P. Emerson lost large
building and many farmers, whose
names we did not get, suffered loss
from buildings destroyed and from
grain being pounded in the ground.
Mr.. Nelson says he never in his life
saw so much rain and water and be-
tween six and eight inches of rain
fell. Shocks were carried long dis
tances by the wind and others were
washed away and the damage done to
crops nthat section and to buildings
will run up into the thousands of dol
lars.

new SHOCKERS
IN THE FIELD

Chief Swanson informs US that he
had two new recruits in the shocking
troop lately-M. J. Englert and C. J.
Olson, Of The Fair store-both of
these gentlemen gave a splendid ac-
count of themselves. Mr.. Olson had
no time for anything but his work
and by the time he had shocked ten
or fifteen acres his collar was wilted
but not his indomitable courage and
perseverance and he stuck out the job
like drum major at a county fair
until it was too dark to see then he
quit. Now NJ. J. is one of these long
geared fellows that when he gets into
action he cleaned off more land than
one of those tanks that are leveling
out the kaiser's troops in France, but
Mike will have his little joke. He will
work like the dickens for awhile then
suddenly he will laugh and say.
"boys, that reminds me of a story"
and he proceeds to lay down on the
job until he has told that story and
away he goes again and by the time
the whistle is blown by Chief Swan
son to quit for the day he has clear
ed off lot of land. Both gentlemen
acquitted themselves splendidly and
the farmer, Mrs. Esby, whose land
they worked on, is of the opinion that
you can't always tell by persons
looks how much they can do -. the
whole bunch pleased her very much.

new BIRD AT
THEClTY PARK

Somebody called up on the phone
yesterday afternoon and said that a
new bird had been added to the COL
lection at the city park and was called
a Custard-Grebe. We were interested
Immediately and wondered where this
custard thing came from and who got
it and wished it onto long suffering
people, so we asked the question:
where did you get it," "Charley
Otto brought it back with him." was
the prompt response. That settled it
j nour mind. Anything that Charley
has anything to do with needs to be
closely scrutinized for he is some
josher and don't you forget it. This
Custard- Grebe bird may be genuine
article but just how he found it out is
a mystery to many people. What we
know about him is to the effect that
he knows more about custard pie
than he does about custard birds-but
then Charley is a bird, to say the least.
However this new addition to the zoo
at the park has been accepted by the
custodian of the animals, birds and
fishes of the city and will no doubt be
the drawing card at the park for the
next few days. Anything that has
custard attached to it ought to
makes our mouth water, especially as
we have had no chance to partake of
any for some time. The next time
Charley Otto brings anything in let
it be a custard pie instead of a GUS
tard bird and leave it at the Times
Record ofice-it will be perfectly safe
and we'll taken care of.

Yellowstone Park, Wyo.,
Cannon Camp,
. Aug. 20, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Trubshaw: I meant to
write to you as soon as found I was
to be here awhile, but discovered to-
day that I failed to mail the card
to you. There was ten in our party
that made the tour of the park, clos
ing the park part of the trip last
Wednesday at Mammoth Hot Springs.
We had a most delightful and profit
able trip from the standpoint of study
and observation. The day spent in
the Bad Lands at Medora was as good
as almost any day in the park. Help
is hard to get here as we'll as in the
Dakotas. Two of the girls, Emma
Halvorson and' Mary Dennison stayed
at Mammoth to help them out for a
week or more, and I came over here
to stay the rest of the season, or until
about the middle of September. I am
enjoying working here fine. The tenn
perature every morning has been be-
tween 20 and 80. The days are sunny
and warm. Practically all the help
are school people, teachers or college
students, and the associations are fine.
Ruth Thune and Myrtle Holmes are
also here.
Yours truly,
j. E. SW1TZER.
