GETTING INTO THE CAMPAIGN
Three Candidates Are Announced for
County Positions

Unusually slow have candidates
been this season, to enter for places
on the county republican ticket. Three
comes to the front this week.
Harold p. Proctor, Junior, announ-
ces his candidacy for the primary
nomination for district attorney. Mr..
Proctor is a native of the county,
| lived here always except a year each
at Duluth, and LosAngeles, where he
practiced his profession. He was ed
ucated at the Michigan law school.
| He has been in active practice with
| his father for a number of years. Is
present city attorney and makes him
self useful in the varied activities of
the community and county.
Three times without opposition
Amund Belland has been nominated
for county treasurer. We doubt if
there will ever be those to oppose
him so long as he is willing to serve.
Vernon never had a county officer with
better ability, and one who has served
more faithfully and acceptably.
Berlie Moore appears to be per-
manent fixture and indispensable cog
| in the machinery of county govern
ment, and the past year his burdens
| have been added to an hundred fold
| by the intricacies and activities of
war He has been doubly busy and re-
sourceful in this important work.
! Elsewhere Mr.. Moore announces his
candidacy for denomination. He has
no opposition to date.

HALT DESPERATE DRIVE;
SUBS ON EASTERN COAST
GERMAi, DRIVE ON WEST FRONT
AGAIN SEEMS HALTED
Submarines Attack Our Eastern Coast
and Sink Is Ships-May Have
Base on This Side


The past week has been one fraught
with great anxiety for the Allies.
The long-delayed German drive was
resumed on d new front with a ferocity
which the men of France and Britain
could not withstand, and they were
forced back with the loss of thous-
ands of prisoners and much war ma
terial. AT the point of their greatest
advance, the Germans reached the
river Marine, the scene of the decisive
battle in 1914, when the Hun hordes
were turned back from Paris. At
present the allied wings ara resting
firmly at Rheims and Souissons, and
the drive in this sector appears to be
definitely halted.
American troops are playing an
important part in blocking the path to
Paris. The French report that they
have delivered four brilliant counter
attacks. The Germans have gained
a fifteen mile footing on the bank of
the Marine. They attempted to cross
at one point. They did--but our u.
S. A. boys threw them back again in
a way that upholds the finest tradi-
tions of the American army The
big success scored by our boys at Can
tigny has put heart into the French
and British, who realize that our forces
are now in the fray in earnest. The
whole attack and capture and holding
of the village was masterful and
heroic action that shows the temper
of United States troops.
German submarines attacked ship
ping off our eastern coast and sank
fifteen vessels before shipping could
be gotten to safety Sea planes, des-
troyers and anti-submarine craft by
the score are patrolling the coast but
the 'tin fish" seem to have disappear
ed. Whether they have gone home or
have base on this side of the water
and have returned to that is not known
but Germany has been boasting of
blockading our coast with subs for a
long time, and this may be the be-
ginning of her attempt. Washing
ton reports that our sea lanes on this
side have not been neglected; that
plenty of protection is at hand so that
Germany's hope of our having to re-
call certain units of our naval forces
from European waters to protect our
coast are entirely vain.

Another Good Investment

V/E paid out some Red Cross money a while back.
~ Paid it out-and forgot it. That's how much it hurt.
Might not be a bad idea to have a look at what that money
has been doing.
That money went, dollar for dollar, where It did d
hull days work, wherever it was.
Three cents of it may have had the honor of disiin1
tcchng with iodine the three torn wounds of an American
soldier on the French front. Or it may have had the less
noble responsibility Of pinning a warm flannel be0y-band
around six-year-old Antoine out back Of Noyon.
No use,-we can figure this Red Cross task in cent?
worth.
There's the whole path of ruin from Belgium to
Switzerland, just to visualize one thing at a time. If your
Red Cross money went there it very likely provided pots
and pans, food and clothes, beds and blankets, for the
repatriated people.
Three years ago these people were prosperous and
contented-self-respecting steady. saving, Woodworking,
everyday, smalltown citizens.
Now they have the earth under them and the sky
over them mot one thing else.
It's for you to say whether this great work of mercy
shall stop.
The Red Cross is yours, just as our Amy and Navy
are yours; yours to support with the same fervor and
loyalty that leads you to the bottom of your purse for
Liberty Bonds.
It's for your voice to say whether your Red Cross
shall tafter now or sweep onward, greater and more help
ful than ever before.
And it's your dollars that must answer.
