THE GREAT STRUGGLE.

For nearly two weeks our boys
have been, together with their allies
going over the top on the Western
font, they have been gaining the
praise and admiration of all the al
lied governments and their armies.
They are fighting side by side with
men who lave been in the great war
fer four years and our american boys
show fully that they are going
straight after the Kaiser and his
army. From some newspaper re-
ports, it is quite likely, chat Battery
ID" is in the thick of his battle, and
if this is true, we may be prepared to
receive news at any time that several
Of this county's boys have fallen VIC
tims of the Kaiser
UP to the present we have only
according to reports lost two boys
from this county, one being Paul Sui
Ivan and the other Leon Inclusion.
This is naturally sad news, but such
as may be expected and naturally we
MAY expect to be less lucky as to the
number being killed as we put more
OF our boys in the fighting and we
praise and admiration of all the al
BILE number will have to give their
lives in this cause Off humanity, and
while each and every father and
mother is hoping and praying for
their boy, it is well that they may
not be surprised at a message that
their boy has fallen.
Washington, July 31.--It can be
stated upon official authority that
American casualties during the last
two weeks have been heavy. But
while they have been extremely heavy
in comparison to the number of men
lost by the fighting forces previous
to the Crown Princes drive, on the
Marne, they have not been, in the
opinion of those officials who are in
position to know, in excess of what
might have been expected from the
nature Of the fighting that has been
in progress.
Officials of the War Department
know from the reports of Gen. Per-
shing that hundreds, perhaps thous-
ands, OF Americans have been killed,
wounded or captured since July Is,
but they are aware, moreover, that
the losses have not been as stagger-
ing as German reports have indicated,
nor the loss of life among the Ameri-
cans approximately as great as the
press reports themselves might have
led this country to believe.
Report Will be Delayed.
1t may be some time before the
actual losses sustained by the Aemri-
cans in this battle can be totaled.
There is no doubt that it will require
at least two weeks after the fighting
has ceased before Gen. Pershing will
be able to report definitely to Wash
lngton upon the matter of totals, but
he will not hold back the names of
those soldiers who have fallen in the
earliest stages of the engagements
any longer than is necessary to es-
tablish their identity.
The casualties, in other words. will
come along from day to day just as
tley did before. Gen. Pershing has
been given orders to forward the
names of the men killed, wounded or
missing the first moment that this in
formation is available and authentic.
As a result of this order there will be
no sudden shock in this country
when the casualties are counted. |
They will not be held back for |
liked period of time and then be pub
ished all at once.

MAY OPEN SCHOOLS
BOARD WILL CONSIDER AAT1ER
THIS MORINa- OF
F1oER DOES NOT OBJECT

From what we can gather it is likely
that the public schools and other places,
which have been closed, will be allowed
to open the coming week.
There seem to be less cases, yet there
is appearing a number of new ones each
day. There are still many, however,
who are rather fearful of the c0nse-
quences Of opening.
A meeting of the school board will
he held this morning at 10 'clock to
consider the advisability Of opening the
schools. Superintendent Dobbyn states
that the doctors interviewed, including
the health officer, favor the opening.
The matter was discussed at council
meeting last evening.
In an interview with the health Of
fcer yesterday afternoon, he stated that
he would not likely oppose the opening
of public places, but said that extreme
caution would have to be taken by all
the people. From what we could gather
from the health officer, however, he
was not optimistic over the effects Of
the re-opening.

CHRISTMAS BOXES
LABELS WILL BE ISSUED II
THOSE NOT HAVING RE-
=. 8EIVED THEM

The local Red Cross Chapter has
been advised that plans have been made
for issuing labels to the near relatives
of all overseas soldiers, who have not
|yet received the overseas label.
The local chapter has been furnished
With blank labels but any relative in
need of one must make application to
the local headquarters, accompanied
with statement to the effect that that
the applicant is the nearest living rela-
tive and that no label has been received
from abroad and that should one SUBJ
|sequently be received that it will not be
used.
This arrangement has been made
lat the request of the war department
to prevent disappointment to those
who have not received labels from
abroad and is intended to insure the de-
livery Of one parcel to each man.
The local Chapter also announces that
the last mailing day has been extended
to Nov. 80, but all boxes should be de-
ivered as early as possible so as to
avoid unnecessary crowding at the last
minute.

OVER TO GRAND JURY
JOHN KUGEL CHARGED WITH
THREATENING BODILY HARM
TO EXEMPTION BOARD

In Judge Lyon 8 court Wednesday af-
ternoon, John Kugel, of this city, was
bound over to the grand jury on the
charge Of threatening to do great bodily
harm to the member of the exemption
board.
When the case first came up in Oc:
tober, the case was continued, so that
the grand jury might act on the case
directly, but as the jurors were imme.
diately dismissed until January on ac.
count Of the prevailing epidemic, the
municipal court disposed Of the case in.
sofar as it was concerned.
Kugel apparently imagined he was
not going to get fair deal from the
exemption board at the time he was
called, and it is alleged, told a party
that if the board did not use him right
he would fix 'em, and showed the gun.
AS Kugel stood in line with the other
men called, Sheriff Felix got to Kugel,
and found Colt s 25 automatic on his
person, and he was Immediately placed
under arrest.
Judge Lyon fixed bail at $500, but as
yet it has not been furnished.

BONDS FOR HIGHWAYS
PROPOSAL 10 HARD SURFACE
TRUNK RoADs IN MN.
NESQTA
0sOntriblltedl

There is a statewide movement to
make the main trunk highways of per,
manent construction. C. B. BabcOck
commissioner Of highways, has divided
the state into districts. Stearns. Ben.
ton, Morrison and Todd counties are in
one district.
The cities Of St. Cloud and Little
Falls will have four members on this
committee, which will be known as the
Highway Transport Committee. Each
county will also have four members
r. B. Millard has been appointed chair
man of the Morrison county committee.
The propositions is to raise money
with which to build these roads by hav.
ing the next Legislature vote bond is-
sue with which to bu1ld trunk line
roads.
These roads will be built and main
tanned by the, state, relieving the dif-
ferent counties through which the roads
run OF any responsibility in regard to
them. The hard surface of the road
will be Of such character that will stand
the heavy traffic of cars and trucks
There are about zoo, 900 motor vehicles
in Minnesota. Make the tax higher and
the income would pay the interest,
maintenance and enough to set aside
for a sinking fund. Many states are
charging higher rates. It is one Of the
best ways to raise money for good
roads. We would save it on wear. on
tires and upkeep on machines.
The roads carrying the heaviest traf.
tic in Minnesota by actual figures is the
Jefferson Highway, running south from
the cities 60 miles and the Jefferson
Highway from the twin cities to St.
Cloud. This means that the Jefferson
Highway will be selected as the main
trunk line running north and south
through Minnesota. That means that
Little Falls will get one Of these splen.
did highways.
This state wide movement for per
manent highways is part of national
movement for the same purpose. The
intention being to secure federal aid te
a larger extent on the highways Of the
country. :.
It is the purpose of this Organization
to have the legislature sanction a plan
to build 1900 miles of grand trunk .ihe
roads throughout the state. This
would provide two permanent highways
north and south in the state and two
east and west.

ACCIDENT Is FATAL
CAR GOES OVER EMBANKafKNT
AND JOHN sETERA Is

An auto accident Saturday afternoon
about 4 o'clock was responsible for the
death Of John Setera Of Swan River.
The accident took place about six
miles from Little Falls on the grade ap-
preaching the Swan River bridge on the
river road. The car, which was driven
by Andrew 6afarz, and occupied by
John Settera and himself, went over q
steep embankment, pinning the two men
underneath. A. E. Anderson, who was
passing a short time after noticed the
car in the ditch and Immediately got
the help of =neighboring farmer, but
the two were unable to move the car.
More help came and the car was remov-
ed. Mr.. Saffarz, on whose head the car
WAS resting was first removed, and was
practically uninjured. Mr.. Setera was
dead when removed from the car, and
efforts were made to bring him to. His
body had been cramped in such posi-.
tion as to cause suffocation.
Deputy Coroner Anker and DR.. E. L.
Fortier and Deputy Sheriff Feuger were
called and further efforts were made
to recussitate' the man, but without
avail.
Andrew Saffarz, the driver Of the car
and who is father-in-law of John
Settera, was taken in custody and
lodged in jail.
A coroner s inquest was held Monday
afternoon, at Simonet's g morgue, and the
verdict brought in was that the man
came to his death by an auto accident,
the cause of which was unknown. Tes-
timony was given that John Saffarz,
the driver Of the car, was not intox-
icated when the men left Little Falls,
but Testimony was offered otherwise as
to the condition of Setera. After the
jury 8 verdict was rendered Saffarz was
released from custody.
John Setera was 33 years Of ago. He
leaves a wife and four children.
Burial was at Swan River Tuesday
morning.
