Mt Prague, Austria. Only princess
of the imperial family can be appoint

ladies of less aristocratic birth have
been chosen for the position, they have
always been of noble birth and have

War of Movement. ~
Along the entire front from verdun to the
enamel the war is one OF movement There is
virtually no such thing as trench warfare of the
Kind known a year or two years ago The great
question now is where the Germans will make
their next big stand in all this region Local de-
laying actions undoubtedly will be fought all
along the line, but study of the man leads to
the belief that the big defensive effort will be
made on the line of the Meuse river This line
will begin north Of Verdun and extend almost
due north to Namur. At Namur, the Mouse
turns at almost a right angle and flows north
east through Liege. The German line NAV leave
the Meuse at this point, and an effort be made
to retain Brussels and Antwerp for a. time
preliminary stand may be made along the ScbeIdt
canal and river, but if this is carried Brussels
and Antwerp must be evacuated and the retreat
resumed. The line would then be swung back,
pivoting on Namur, and extend to the Dutch
border at Maestrcht or near it, This line from
Metz to Holland would be scarcely half the
length Of the present line; it would leave the
war on French and Belgian territory and it
would retain the German hold in the iron fields
of Lorraine. Nothing but territory that has been
swept clean Of all things Of military value would
be relinquished to the allies With the fail of
Lille and the channel ports, the coal regions of
France and the ports Of Belgium have been lost
The remaining cities of Belgium and France
which would be abandoned by this retreat, have
geen taxed to the limit Of their endurance and
stripped of their men and their machinery. The
Germans. therefore, would lose but little in a
military way by the further retirement and they
would shorten their lines by perhaps 100 miles.
Meuse The Objective.
The Mouse line, therefore. would appear to be
the next objective of the Germans If they can
reach it without being wholly disorganized, and
can organize the line, their aim will be to hold
it during the winter and to continue their efforts
for peace by negotiation. It is possible that with
such reserves as would be made available and
aided by unfavorabe weather, they would be
able to check the allied offensive temporarily
and get few weeks breathing speh. Marshal
Foch undoubtedly will not permit this, if it Gan
be avoided, and the Americans already are ham
mering at the base of this line, but the German

stored TO its people by the allied troops
The French have crossed the Serbian
border and entered Montenegro from the
west. If the Austrian forces south of Mon
tenegro in Albania have not already es-
capped, they are completely cut off by this
move and must surrender or be annihilat-
ed. At last report they were fully 100
miles south of the southern border of Mon
tenegro and it does not seem possible that
they could have escaped.
Montenegrins are full blooded Serbs,
and as bitter haters Of the Austrians as
the Serbs themselves. Just across the
borders are the southern Austrian states
of Bosnia and Herzegovina, pedpled with
Serbs and southern Slavs. It is all friend
ly country, just waiting the right time to
rise. There is nothing to stop the allied
troops from pushing right into Austria
through Montenegro, and the entire coun-
try will rise with them. If the allied adj
vance is pushed another so or 100 miles
about weeks travel at the present rate
the whole Austrian border from the
Adriatic to the Carpathians will be afame,
with Montenegrins, Jugo-Slavs, Serbians,
Rumanians, French, British and Greeks
sweeping down upon the unhappy Dual
Kingdom. Austria S doom is sealed as
surely as Bulgaria's and as surely as Tur-
keys The "ramshackle empire" may fall
even before the Sick Man of Europe is
pressed back where he belongs-in Asia.

The War for the Week

The accompanying map discloses perhaps the
most amazing advance made in any one week on
the western front since September 1914.
There is not one mile of the entire battleline
from Verdun to the English channel which has
not been moved forward since last Saturday. In
some places the advance has been as great as
20 miles. When it is realized that this battle
line is more than 200 miles long and that the
average advance must have been from three to
five miles, some realization of the tremendous
amount Of territory delivered from the Huns, can
be gained.
Among the big cities which were captured by
the Allies were Lille, Douai,s Ostend, Zeebrugge
Bruges, Roulers Courtrai Turcoing Laon and
La Fere.
These cities, before the war, would have had
a combined population of nearly 100000 and in
Guiding the smaller villages and the farming
territory, probably close to that many civilians
have been repatriated since last Saturday. Lille
had population Of more than 100000 before the
war, but only about 10000 persons were found
there wher the Allies entered The rest either
fed before the Germans in 1914 or we're con-
scripted by them.
Double Salient Gone,
When this review was written a week ago at
tention called to the double salient created
by the Allied spearhead driven toward LIE
Cateau. It was forecast that the Germans would
Immediately have to retire from the Laon dis
trict to the south, and from both the Lille district
and the Belgian coast to the north.
These two retirenents took place during the
week that ends today.
The Laon retirement came first, and early in
the week the entire St. Gobain forest, the key
stone of the German line in France, was aban-
doned. The Germans hurredly retired under
pressure on both tanks, but the retirement
orderly. They defended their tanks bitterly
while their center was withdrawn and while the
Allies took great number Of prisoners and
large quantities of supplies the retreat could not
be called to rout 1t was a we'll executed mill
tary maneuver.
Scarcely had the southern salient been evacu-
ated when the British, French and Belgians
struck in the north broke through the German
lines and overwhelmed the German armies, force
ing a very rapid retreat The entire Belgian
coast has been evacuated, and the submarine
bases Of Ostend and Zeebrugge are again in AL
lied hands, for the first time since 1914. This
retreat along the coast forced q. retirement from
the Lille Douai salient. The Germans pivoted
their line at Courtrai and fought desperately to
hold this point, while they swung their lines to
both the north and south. The southern retreat
was more orderly than the northern. Lille and
Douai were evacuated, and the allies advanced
their line to the Lille-Douai railroad sd
In the north the retreat had been delayed too
long, and it approached closer to a rout than any

army is not a Wnolly defeated army yet. 1t ID
retreatng in fair order, losing men and supplies
it is true, but is not yet disorganized mob.
Meanwhile some events Of tremendous i'm
portance in Mesopotamia and the Balkans are
being almost wholly ignored because of the
thrilling nature Of the news from the western
front.
News comes from Syria that the British are
within 100 miles of Aleppo, which is the juno
ton point Of the railroad running into, Mesopo-
tan1ia. The capture Of AIeppo means that the
only supply line of the Turkish army in Mes
opotamia has been cut. There is report that
about 10000 Turks have assembled at Aleppo
to make stand there. These probably are the
remnants Of the Palestine army and possibly
some who have fled from Mesopotamia. But
such force will be insignificant, and the Brit
ish can advance as rapidly as they can organize
their lines OF supplies. Even Constantinople it
self is well within the reach of this army when
Aleppo is taken, for it will not be necessary to
march to the Dardanelles. The forces can take
train. It is not a case of lighting their way
forward, but merely of subduing some scat
tered bands of Turks.
In The Balkans.
In the Balkans, the line of the Danuke should
be established within a. very few weeks or per-
haps days. Austrian forces are being withdrawn
from all OF Montenegro, Serbia and Bulgaria.
The Serbs are within miles Of Belgrade on
the Danube. There is no serious obstacle to the
the border Of Montenegro and Serbia and thence
into Rumania. ~.
Meanwhile the fate of the Austrian forces in
Albania is not disclosed. very considerable
part of these must have been cut off when the
French entered Montenegro, unless their flight
before the Italians was a veritable rout.
The Greeks have completed the work of clear
ing all of Greek Macedonia from the Bulgars and
Turks. That means that the Greek army must
be within sixty miles of Adrianople and ready
for a direct drive thriugh Turkey to Constan-
tinople t
The only connection between Turkey and Ger
many is by way Of Russia and the Black
Sea, and when Constantinople is taken it means
the capture of both the Russian and Turkish
Black Sea fleets. The possibilities of the BaIk-
an situation are far reaching that the i'm
agination scarcely grasp them. Take
map and figure out for yourself what would
happen with an Allied, fleet controlling the Black
Sea and all its ports; with Rumania back in the
war, and the battle line extending around the
Austrian border; with an army of 100000 in
the Balkans, to say nothing of the Runanfans
and the Czecho- sloyaks in southern Russia. II
Austria doesn't slip out of the war within the
next few weeks, there will be allied armies pour
ing across the Danube and through the passes
of the Carpathians into the plains of Hungary
before Christmas.

WHO IS EDUCATED?

That educational fund of the Con-
sumers United Stores becomes the more
interesting the more it is studied.
Our fellow townsman, J. J. Hastings,
who is president of the stores corporation,
and who wanted his $4,000 check to the
Nonpartisan league investigated for
minute or two-has returned from Chi
cago with a new Educational" automo-
bile, a long, black, car of the most expen-
sive type on the market. It is by long
odds the 'classiest" car in Fargo, perhaps
in the state of North Dakota. Mr.. Has
tings must appreciate the educational
possibilities of the farmers money. He
already had one expensive car.
Meanwhile Mr.. Brinton, the manager of
the stores, is passing his honeymoon in
Florida.
Truly this "educational" idea was a
happy thought. We wonder if the contri
butors to the store fund appreciate all the
"'education they are getting by being
permitted to see their general manager
pass the winter in Florida; their president
sport two automobiles that cost from So
600 to $4,000 and see a check for $4,000 go
to the National Nonpartisan league. Based
on the stocks carried in the stores already
started, half a dozen to dozen new stores
could have been opened with these sums.
The desire to know who gets the "edu-
cation" is slowly consuming us. At least
100000 of this ""education' is to be dis
tributed. Do the most ignorant get the
most of it?
