Great War-1543d Day
Yanks Crush 4 Hun Lines
In Month S Hard Fighting

WITH THE, AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF vERDUN, Oct. 2S
(By The Associated Press).-In its
first major operation against the Ger
mans, considering the clearing out Of
the st. Mihcl salient as local affair,
the American army in few days less
than month has liberated more than
forty-ivc villages and advanced to an
average depth of ten miles, freeing
165 square miles OF territory. In the
offensive the Americans have captured
more than 10000 prisoners
The. Americans attacked on a front
Of twenty miles, from the Argonne to
the Meuse, and the advance has been
in the face of almost insurmountable
difficulties, due particularly to the
nature Of the ground, which is covered
with hills, deep ravines and woods. In
addition, the Americans had fronting
them four organized systems of
trenches-the Hindenburg line, the
Hagen position, the Volker position
and the Kriomhildc position. They
have forced their way through all
these lines. Ahead of them lies the
Freya position, which has been reached
at one point in the region Of the Ban
theville Wood.
Advance Difficult,
The advance has been particularly
difficult because the Germans have
stubbornly resisted every foot Of the
way and have used more than thirty
three divisions on the twenty-mile
front. The enemy continues to make
a formidable effort to hold this front,
in order to protect his great lateral
line of communication running through
Hirson, MGzieres, Sedan, Montmcdy
and Longuyon. This line already is
threatened and should the Germans
lose it they will lose their main line
Of communication from Germany into
occupied France.
In addition to the prisoners, Cen
eral Pershing's men have taken more
than 1877 guns Of large calibre, numer-
Gus machine guns and antitank guns,
a great store Of ammunition, and much
war material, including locomotives
and railway cars.
Since September 26 the Americans
have fired more than 100000 shells,
the number at times reaching as high
as 10000 daily.

An old subscriber, who is true
American patriot, asks our opinion as
to the disposition Of aliens within the

that while our boys are fighting in
Europe for their country, s.these in
fernal aliens are permitted to live here
unmolested and grow rich" To our
patriotic friend we would say that our
method of dealing with these alien in
terlopers would be to pass law SINH

ada: Draft everyone Of them within
the age limit into the army and deport
or intern those who refuse to serve.
In the United States there are thous-

that ere long congress will legislate on

not been impaired by the length Of his

The petition has been presented by

when he arrived in Dayton he and his

was J.A.A. Burnquist, governor of the
great state Of Minnesota, going back
to the little town where he was born.
and where he graduated from the high

eight years old, he has climbed to the
office of governor Of one of the big
northwestern states since his gradua-
ton day. Did you say there is no
chance for a young man any more?
There is. No chance for "sissies" and
buns, but plenty Of chance for real

"a DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE.

tits generally conceded that the Du-
luth Herald is the leading democratic
paper in Minnesota, and it goes with
out saying that the Herald is ably
edited and ranks in the A. / class of
daily newspapers. Hence it is ex-
tremely gratifying to the friends Of
Senator Nelson and Governor Burn
quist that such an influential and
strongly partisan newspaper as the
Herald takes the patriotic stand it
does as evidenced by the following
editorial which, appeared recently in
it's columns:
The energy and attention of the
people of America should be diverted
from the great task now on hand as
little as possible this year by politics.
Changes in executive and legislative
officials should be made only for good
cause. The first cause that should be
considered is lack of loyalty to the ma
ton at war. The last cause that
should be considered is partisanship.
The Herald has urged Senator Nell
son to be a candidate to succeed him
self as United States senator, and it
will support him and oppose anybody
who offers to run against him.
, The Herald feels the same way
about Governor Burl1quist.
It isn't at all interested this year in
the question of what party he belongs
to. He is governor of Minnesota, heh has
been playing the gade~straight with
America, he has given no tolerance to
disloyalty, he has been as Fair as he
knew how to be to all interests, he has
done the right thing as he saw it, and
above all he has stood up for America
and Americas cause-has stood up
like major and hewed squarely to the
line, letting the chips fly in whose
faces they might. We like that in a
public official, and the country can't
have too much of it. ,c.>e
The Herald sees not the slightest
reason for making change in the
governorship in this exigency. It sees
a good deal of harm in needlessly
evoking the spirit Of partisan strife.
1t hopes that mere craftsmanship will be
as little in evidence this year as pos
sible, in Minnesota and everywhere in
the country.
For these reasons, and because he
has made good, the Herald hopes Gov
ernor Burnquist will be renominated
and reelected with as little opposition
as may be, and it will contribute what
it can to that end.
Second only to the Herald among the
newspapers Of it's party is the St.
Cloud Times, another rock-ribbed
democratic daily, and it also indorses
Senator Nelson and Governor Burn
quist. With the Herald and Times
loyalty takes precedence of party
fealty. -,..

Chamberlain's Diatribe.

The fairminded man, before judging
Senator Chamberlain's vigorous at
tack upon the war department, will
first ask himself this question: "Can
l conceive of the work Of the last nine
months being done by any man, or
any collection of. men, anywhere on
earth, so fawlessly that it would not
be possible for somebody so disposed
to make just such speech as that? p"
His answer must be that he cannot
conceive of such a thing. It simply
could not happen. Not even a COM
mittee Of archangels could so contrive
the handling of such task as to make
it impossible for those so disposed to
criticise the way it was done. AS to
Mr.. Chamberlain's bill for superior
war council" that, disguise it how he
may, is plan to strip the president
OF virtually all his power over the con-
duct of the war and turn it over to
three unnamed individuals. The uues-
ton the fair-minded man must answer
is whether he wants the president
stripped of the power the constitution
gives him-and which, therefore, no
congressional act can take away-and
the conduct Of the war turned over to
somebody else. The average thinking
mans answer to that will be a most
"NO."- Duluth Herald.

Here is good advice to President
Wilson from the New York Times, a
newspaper that has always been
friendly to him: ~.
His opposition may defeat the war
cabinet measure; it can hardly be ex-
Fected that at this moment congress
would enect a bill he so strenuously
opposes. But at least Mr.. Wilson will
not be SO unwise, so unsuitable in
belief not shared by the people of the
country, that he will let the lesson go
unheeded, pay no attention to the
rapidly growing dissatisfaction of
which the bill is the outcome. He con-
tends that defects of the administra-
ton are durable and being cured with
the staff he now directs. They must
be cured if he would escape sterner
calling to account later on. It would
be far better and wiser and safer-for
him to make the war cabinet SUPER
fuous by reorganization of his present
cabinet, by calling to his aid men eds
tinguished and of demonstrated abili-
ty" who would bring order and system
out of the present confusion and swift
~ advance our war preparations. The
country's attitude of doubt, misgiving,
and disappointment would change to
confidence and rejoicing if the presi-
Gent, instead of closing his eyes to the
revelations of incapacity that have
been made, would call to his side men
competent for big tasks of the admin
istration. That is what Mr.. Wilson
ought to do.
