Patriotic Des Laos Farmer knits for
Red Cross.

Chas. Fuller, prominent Des Laos
farmer, is in the city today. Some
years ago a gas we'll was struck on
Mr.. Fuller's farm and since that time
he has not had to buy pound Of coal
for heating or cooking.
Mr.. Fuller farms extensively but
during the winter months he had
many leisure hours which he put in
knitting for the Red Cross. Mr.. Full
Ter thinks that just because one hap
pens to be a man, he should not be a
Stacker even in knitting During the
winter he completed one sweater and
has another which he will finish this
evening after he returns home.
81 generally give couple of hours
in the evening which can devote to
my knitting. I learned how to knit
on train returning from St. Paul
where l had gone with a car Of cattle
I saw woman knitting and having
nothing to do, got her to teach me
to knit. When I got home, taught
my wife and we have been head over
heels in the work ever since"

Beaver Trappers are Prosperous.

dad" Green, Sawyer publisher, was
in Minot Saturday. He says that a
number of Sawyer trappers are max
ing good money trapping beaver. Ed
and Vance Booth have sold $3.50 worth
of the beaver hides, getting from six
to fifteen dollars for them. Milt Wen
ner, Melville Wilbur and other trap
pers are doing we'll. Mr.. Wenner has
made enough to pay his living expen-
ses this winter. One Sawyer beaver
weighed So pounds, but evidently the
beaver grow larger in the fertile Bur
lington district, where one weighing
95 pounds was trapped. At Sawyer
several white marten, whose fur is
very valuable, were caught.

Clark Declares Failure

Baltimore. Md, April 27.-Speak-
ing at the "Over There" Liberty loan
cantonment, in fifth regiment armory

nation and in the worlds estimation
as would the loss of great battle.

Mr.. Clark outlined the part taken
by congress In the prosecution Of the
war.
The amount Of work we ac-
complished," he said, SIS amazing,
unprecedented, stupendous. The
sums Of money appropriated and
bonds authorized stagger the imag-
ination-aggrsga ting more than six
times the cost Of the Civil war. Ev-
cry dollar the administration asked
for has been expeditiously voted by
the congress. Nevertheless, we have
on the one hand been abused by
evil minded, malicious, slanderous
people for going too slow and on the
other for being extravagant.

the unusual circumstances to un-
dertake unaccustomed stunts OF
worldwide extent and Importance. It
Is a wonder that we have done so
well with the instrumentalities at

too emphatically that the congress Is
willing and ready to vote every man

The enemy decided on Thursday
night to turn his weight against
Bethune. He massed six divisions,
and after. a bombardment lasting all
that night he struck along the whole
OF this southern side OF the triangle
from Glvenchy right away to its
western apex His two chief points
OF attack were Givenchy itself and
along the road called the Hinges
Road, which runs from Merville to
Bethuns and used to cross the canal
near. Hinges. The bridge has now,
Of course, been destroyed. The line
OF the canal covering the district OF
Bethune here corresponds with the
Allied front, arld the enemy made a
most determined effort to seize the
bridge-head upon the FAR side. Had
he established this bridgehead IL
would have enabled him to obtain
Bethune at the next blow.
He mustered his principal force
under cover OF Pacaut Wood in great
depth. From first to last he had
seven or eight men TO every yard

tween Pacaut Wood and the water
way there are not two hundred

heavy losses which the Germans suf-
fered in their attempt to cross this
very narrow belt that the result
turned.

On Sunday, then, April IA, the en-
ensy's, main effort was confined 10
the northern limb of the triangle, and
he was still held there in the plain
and had not yet got upon the slopes
Of the hills. To obtain possession Of
the hills he would have to clear the
Messines Ridge, which flanked them
on the east, after a mere prelimin-
airy holding OF the little hummocks
upon which stand Bailleul and Neuve

and a new position was taken up be-

FIVE DAYS OF THE
Battle or LYs.

TO return to the great battle Of
the Tys, since my last article, which
was based upon dispatches to April
is. the course Of events has been as
follows:
on Sunday April ia, the enemy
made long and determined attempts
10 reach and hold the foothills that
line the heights running along the
north eide of the big bulge which
had previously been forced into the
British line BY the first i've days OF
che Offensive. This was the principal
line OF the British defence In this
district. Ths enemy did not during
that day attempt 10 press heavily to-
ward the west. either toward the
junction Of the railroads st Bethune
or AZ MaxsbrouclZ. His weight was
thrown upon the north.
II win be remembered that the
snemy'H first success during the
week. that Ia. during the FIRST nve
dave OF the battle from dawn OF
Tuesday, the 9Th, until Saturday, the
18th, at night. had put him into pos
