scented by the Allies who were repre-

represented by Germany and her allies.
The jury after celebrating thirty sec

humanity for aid in its present distress

LITTLE FALLS LOSES TO RANGE
TEAM IN INTERESTING
GAME 5 TO

Little Falls Red Cross baseball team
tasted defeat at the hands Of Ironton
by a score Of S to 3. It was by far
the best sexhibition Of baseball seen on
the local diamond so far this season.
The loss Of the game was due mainly
to errors Of players on the local team.
Although the locals got more hits off
from the Ironton hurler than their OPP
ponents did off from Sundstrom they
were unable to bunch the necessary hits
to insure scoring. The exceptionally
good fielding of the Ironton players
also hindered the tallying Of the To-
Gals. This victory now puts Ironton at
the top Of the league.
The best crowd Of the season attend
ed the game 1923 being taken in at
the gate. This amount will be turned
over to the Red Cross.
Following is the box score for Sun

BELLE PRAIRIE TO ORGANIZE RED
... CROSS AUXILIARY

Arthur F0ussard Of st. Paul made an
address at the front of the Belle Prai-
RE church Sunday after the services.
The people of that locality understood
that it was to be Red Cross speech
and when the speaker delved into the
Non.partisan league proposition, mem
bers raised objection. Father Pellet,
who did not know that an address was
to be made, was notified and asked the
speaker, that to avoid possible trouble,
he confine himself to the Red Cross,
which he did. A. Koslosky also gave
a short address on Red Gross work.
This was followed by short address
by Father Pellet, who passed the plate
and collected $36 for the cause, which
action will be forerunner of an aux
Hilary in that town.

TURN LOOSE TERRIFIC FIRE

London, June 13.-The menace which
the Germans see in the advance OF
the Americans and French northwest
of Chateau Thierry again was exemp.
lifted and in a most disastrous fashion
for the enemy.
Two divisions of fresh troops were
thrown by the German command
against the American center at the
village Of Bouresches, near Belleau
wood. A terrific fire was turned loose
by the American artillery, and the
German advance was broken up. with
heavy slaughter.
Reuters correspondent, writing from
the French headquarters, declares the
Germans are taking seriously" the
.Amtrican thrust at the apex Of their
line in the Clignon valley, and thus
far have used five divisions in at
tempting to counter it, but entirely
without success.

: The leading republican papers Of
Minnesota objected very strongly to
the presidents opposition to Lenroot
in Wisconsin. They thought the re-
publicans ought to be left alone. In
Minnesota they want help from the
democrats to settle their troubles. IF
a democrat feels it is his particular
duty to vote in republican primary,
that is his affair. We have no quarrels
with that at all. It must be remem-
bered, however, that there may be dem
ocrats who will get into the republi-
can primary because they want to vote
for someone other than the man sup
ported by the leading papers and poll
ticians of the republican party. If one
goes in, the other will too. It is no
secret that there are democrats in this
county on different sides Of this mattex
and very likely it is true in most Of the
counties: That being the case, it is
doubtful what good is to be achieved
by the democrats Joining in the re-
publican primary. If there were any
guarantee that those who 90 in are to
vote all one way, it might be different,
but we know of no one in a position
to make such a guarantee.

CURE FOR BLUES

Community Service Takes Place of Mother, Friends and

Ten young officers of the Student Army Training Corps of the Universi- ty of Detroit recently applied for a furnished house and housekeeper who would not be a servant, but, as one young officer expressed it, "the sort of woman to whom the boys can call out Hello, motherp. when they come in the front door"
