EXPANSIVE HINDSIGHT.

The Presidents speech at Baltimore,
opening the drive for the third issue of
Liberty Bonds, was an admirable, if be.
lated, statement of the war purposes of
the nation. 1t was also remarkable for
the enlarged and expansive hlndsight
which has come to him in acknowled-
.ging that our entrance into the war was
inevitable and that The purpose Of Ger
man leaders from the outset was to lay
the United States under tribute and
bondage equally with Belgium, Serbia,
Roumania and Montenegro. The facts
upon which Mr.. Wilson bases this con-
clusion have never been hidden from the
view of men with more provision than
he possesses; and they have been open
to his knowledge with an even larger
measure OF accuracy because he has
been constantly warned and informed
by the communications of our diploma
tic representatives in Europe. When
Roosevelt and Leonard Wood and Aug.
ustus 2. Gardner said, nearly four years
ago, what the President has now said at
Baltimore, the, were rebuked by him as
being ''hysterical and nervous" They
we're held up to ridicule as being ''vocal
in spots, and they were told that the
national defense was not being neglect
ed. The commentary on all this is now
being written on the plains of Picardy,
and IN the sector which American troops
are defending against the Hun. The
Presidents hlndsight is remarkable, as
we have said. Would to Heaven that he
had been equally gifted with foresight.

the shortsightedness of those who ins,s.

Death of Mrs. Roadhouse.

Mrs. George Roadhouse passed away
at her home in Cavalier, on April 10Th,
1918 after an illness of some months
duration, it had been known by the FAM
lily that recovery was doubtful. owing to
the nature of the disease, which was
diabetes with other complications.
Death came with little suffering, and
she end was peaceful:and content.
Mrs. Roadhouse was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hector Mcclellan, and she
was born in the township of Erin, county
of Wellington, Ontario, August 18th,
1858, where she spent the early years of
her life, coming to North Dakota IN
1883. She came west to visit her sister,
Mrs. John McKechney, and in 1886
taught school between Walhalla and
Beaulieu, at which occupation she re-
mained for several ears. She was uni
ted in marriage to George Roadhouse on
April 17th, 1883, and since that time has
made Pembina county her home, having
lived in Neche and vicinity and was a
resident of Pembina until the past six
years when the family moved to Cava-
lier.
The deceased was kind and devoted
wife and mother, true friend and al
ways took an active part in any organi-
zation which worked for the betterment
of the world. She was an active mem
ber of the w. G. T. U. and was an en-
thusiastic Red Cross worker, and was
busy with her knitting even after being
confined to her bed in the last illness.
She leaves to mourn her loss, besides
her husband, FIVE children, William Of
Montana John who is in France, mem
Der of Go. c., Thompson of Montana and
Edna who is teaching in Crystal and
Harvey, step-son. in Winnipeg. The
family have the sympathy of the entire
county in their bereavement. The
funeral was held from the Presbyterian
church in Cavalier and lnterment made
in the Bathgate cemetery, on Thursday,
April 18th.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

After nearly continuous fighting for q
month, both sides we're compelled to
rest and recuperate. But even during
the comparative lull sharp fighting oc-
CURED in various localities in which 10.
cal gains and losses have been made on
both sides.
Considerable artillery work and some
assaults were also made in the sectors
outside of the Somme and Arras regions
where the main battles have occurred
and one or two of these were directed
against the extreme east where the Am
ericans are mostly located. These as
saults we're beaten back with success
for the Americans.
The situation as left when the Ger
mans quit active efforts to advance was
untenable for either party. Two great
salients made by the Germans had bent
back the British forces and in conse-
quence left long salient into the Ger
man lines still held strongly by the Brit
ish. Salients have their advantages
and disadvantages. They are at once a
menace to the enemy, but at the same
time danger to the party holding them.
While they endanger the tanks of the
opposing army, there is always the risk
of the enemy cutting across the neck
and thus isolating the enclosed army
from supplies.
-.
It was the risk of being thus cut off
that forced the British to retreat from
some otherwise strong strategic posi-
tions situated in some of the smaller
salients caused by heavy assaults bend
ing their lines backward in adjoining To-
calities.
On Wednesday the fighting broke out
anew on front of twenty miles with
Amiens as the objective of the Germans.
They seek not only to widen the salient
to the southwest but in this way to out
flank the British forces and later gain
the seaboard, incidentally to separating
the British and French armies.
A notable event of the week was the
assault Of a British naval force on Ze-
brugge, with the object and with some
success of sinking three old ships laden
with concrete in the channel of the Ze-
brugge harbor. It was repetition Of,
Hobson exploit in Cuba during the
Spanish war only on larger scale.
This harbor has been base for German
U-boats and its close proximity to the
British Isles has made it q very annoy
ing situation to the ententes. fF
Thousands Of American troops are be
ing daily dispatched across the ocean
and the American casualty lists are
daily growing larger. But il all pro-
sbility the German casualty l,st has
.been increased prop postionately Tor that

DRAG THE ROADS.

The graded road can be kept in the
best condition with the least labor by
using the road drag. The road drag
scrapes off the projections and fills up
the low places thus leaving no places for
water to stand which is what causes the
road bed to soften and be cut into ruts.
A persistent use of the road drag will
keep the road bed we'll crowned, smooth
and hard and this will also result in the
least dust, as the dust comes largely
from the grinding up of the ruts and
rough places left by the horses feet

Memorial Day, May 3Oth. It will be
an especially solemn day this year. We
hope to see Pembina make it loyalty
day of particular significance with an
attractive program. The war of 1918 is
a continuation of the war of 1861.65.
The civil war settled the question of de-
mocracy in the United States and now
the question whether "this nation" $50
conceived" 'could long endure" and now
we are trying to solve the other issue
whether ''any nation $50 conceived"
''may not also endure" and govern
ments by the people, of the people, for
the people, shall not perish from the
earth"
Nonpartisans claim a membership of
about $4,000. Some of these have paid
three years membership fees of from $40
to s25. Many have paid in 500 to the
cooperative store scheme. Averaging
these figures at only SIS per member the
sum total would aggregate s1,125, ,O00
For none of this large sum has there
ever been any accounting or statement
made to the general membership. We
know of course that much of this money
has been invested in newspaper plants
to spread the Nonpartisan propaganda,
which papers however always speak Of
opposition papers as "the KEEP: press"
In these days every citizen should be
like Caser's wife "beyond suspicion"
There isn't any such thing as doubtful
loyalty in war time. He who is doubt
full is disloyal. When man by his acts
or talk gives sufficient evidence that he
is doubtful, even though it cannot be
technically proven in court, is guilty.
The court verdict simply is the Scotch
verdict" proven" No loyal man
will ever be called before a court to
prove that fact, unless through some ex-
traordlnary mistake. Most of the men
who are being apprehended by the auth.
critics, have been found walking in mo
Mans Land" They may not have CON-
mitted overt acts of treason but they
have been found outside the ranks. HE
