shoots too much; your artillery is
crazy; it shoots all the time"
Each sunny day." adds Private
Cartwright, I'VE see the Boche planes
driven back by our anti-aircraft guns
and other sights which people in the
States would pay many dollars to see
Each dark night is accompanied by a
great fire works exhibition as numer-
Gus flares are thrown up to illuminate
Bad Mans land.
There is music, too. I mean the
music Of the guns all the way from
the deep boom Of the large calibre
gun to the sharp crack Of the rife.
One Of the most wonderful sights in
the world takes place when an artil-
lery barrage is put over at night.
When it begins at some other
place on the line it sounds like fast
approaching thunderstorm and almost
overwhelms one when it reaches his
sector. The background is then lit
up as far as the eye can see and the
noise is tremendous.
"A few nights ago Fritz attempted
to call on US but was turned back.
This so angered him that he threw
up everything he had in his ammuni-
ton dump at US. So far I have not
heard of any casualties, and he cer-
tainly has not frightened us.
Keep the ball rolling in the States
as we are doing here and we will soon
have Fritz where we want him"

Lakota, N. D., May 17.-At meet
ing held in Lakota. largely attended
by farmers and city residents, A. H.
Smart and H. T. Quanbeck were en-
dorsed for the state legislature, to
oppose the candidates nominated by
the Nonpartisans. -
In resolutions they adopted, the
delegates declare themselves oppos-
ed to the secret caucus" and the
unit rule" in North Dakota politics,
which, they declare, would substi-
tute tame submission to the dictates
of self-constituted leaders for the
deliberate and untrammeled judg-
ment Of our elected representatives"
Dealing with a subject that is just
now very much alive in North Da-
kota, they say: I'VE regret that the
leaders Of an important political or
ganization in this state still persist
in employing as political speakers
and organizers men who are under
arrest for disloyalty and sedition."
The resolutions further declare
that political leaders Of this day
must themselves be absolutely above
suspicion on the loyalty question.

An Associated Preas.l

London. May ia report com :.
piled by the local government board
based on information from German
sources shows a fall in the birth
rate in Germany during the three
years 1851, inclusive, equivalent
to the loss Of 100000 infants. Forty
per cent fewer births occurred in
1915 than In 1913. These figures are
compared with a decrease of ten per
cent in the birth rate in England and
Wales.
The infanhle death rate in .Ger-
many has been kept well down, but
nevertheless the report shows, is So
per cent higher than in England ana
Wales.
An abnormal increase in infant
mortality during the first months OF
the war Is shown by the fact that in
Prussia. in the third quarter Of 1914,
the rate rose from 124 TO 143; in
Saxony from 40 to 242. and in.
Bavaria from ITO to 239.
The records in England and Wales
do not show any abnormal mortality
among infants during the early
months Of the war.

ENCOUNTERED 8
SUBMARINES ON
TRIP TO FRANCE

Wahpeton, N. D., May ia thrill
ing experience with three submarines
characterized the voyage OF Ear,
Robinson with the Twenty-f1fth en-
glneers, and a, son Of Mr.. and Mrs
lWs J. Robinson Of Wahpeton, on his
recent trip in France, according tC
6, letter under date Of April 10
which his folks received this week.
In relating the thrills of the en-
counter with the first under sea pir
ate, Mr.. Robinson writes his parents
gne had stayed on deck late to finish
khe letter he had started to his father
Pnd mother. Suddenly he heard gun
aire and the general alarm was given
20 the thousands on his boat. Rob
anson got to his station in about two
aumps, he says, and could hear the
ships firing and depth mines explode
put could not see a thing. He says
there was a general race Of men for
fhe deck to see the target, but it was
gone.
Second Sub Appears.
about half an hour later another
submarine came up astern Of us and
gut loose a torpedo. but it went wild
pnd the ship next exploded it by gun
fire" writes Mr.. Robinson. "This
Bpne I saw before got down to my
station. The mosquito got the sub
too, before she got away. Again Sc
cure sounded and we went on deck to
look around. am sure was not
scared and did not think I was
nervous till I tried to give a, fellow a
light from my cigarette and my hand
was just making circles in front OF
mis- face and I could not stop its
quivering. s.-<.,
II saw a third submarine come up
and just as her periscope showed the
next transport cut loose, but do not
believe hit her. The submarine beat
1T off astern Of us as fast as she could
go. BY that time we sighted land
and had been going full speed since
our first encounter. We were in hopes
that we could land one Of the submar-
ines while we were travelling in the
danger zone, but we didn't get a
single bird. We went into the harbor
and anchored just after dark"
Private Robinson wishes that his
parents could be with him during his
stay in camp. He says that the roads
are perfectly wonderful-just like
white ribbons winding in and out OF
green velvet. He further adds that
the scenes in the vicinity of the camp
at which he is stationed now are
Wonderful. He writes that one Of jis
5unkets took him through a. church.
yard where he obtained a wonderful
view of the city and the river wind
dng through the valley below.
Picked Flowers on Way.
Touching on his ride by train from
Che place of Decentralization to the
camp, Private Robinson says that the
train was composed of second and
third class coaches, some of which
Fwere double decl1ed like sheep cars
HOn American railroads.
TT was sort Of jerk-water like
writes Private Robinson, land we
travelled to our camp at very slow
rate. The fellows could get off and
run beside the train and pick flowers.

everything is green. You would never
guess that this land is at war from
conditions as they are around us. The
people cheered us loudly as we passed
through their towns and we did like

Berlin and Vienna Haze
Widely Different VieWs
Of New TeutOn Alliance

in Austria Hungary and Germany
there are political parties and bust
ness interests with sufficient power
to exertstrong opposition to arealiza-
ton Of the idea of a unified central
Europe. In Austria-Hungary 1t is
expected the Czechs and South Slavs
would oppose it on national grounds
and certain industrial groups for
economic reasons which are patent,
as tariff union is spoken of is well
informed Vienese circles as well
within the scope Of the new agree
ment, although it is asserted that no
tariff war against other countries is
intended.
The main difference between the
new alliance and the old dual alli-
ance, 1t is pointed out, is that where
as the latter was devised solely to
counterfeit Russian expansion, the
new arrangement will chiefly com
mand attention in the aspect 1t
bears Of a defensive alliance against
all corners.
