for more than a year. few readers have
more than a hazy idea Of h the

bulletin issued today the National Geo

London, April 23.-ln all probabil.
ity the entrance to the Bruges cana
has been blocked effectively in con-
sequence of the naval raid, Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord of the admiralty
announced today in the house of COM
mons.
While the operation was in prog
ress, Sir Eric announced, British par
ties were landed to distract the
enemy. The officer who developed
the scheme of attack was killed.
Storming parties were landed or
the Mole from the Cruiser Vindictive
The casualties to the personnel, said
Sir Eric, were heavy in proportion to
the number engaged. An enemy de-
stroyer was torpedoed at Zeebrugge
The result of the whole operation
Sir Eric said, was regarded as very
successful.
Two of the blockading ships were
sunk and blown up at the entrance
to the Bruges canal. The piling be-
side the Mole at Zeebrugge was blown
up by an obsolete submarine filled
with explosives.
The casualties to British craft, Sir
Eric said, were one destroyer and
two coastal motor boats sunk and two
launches missing.
The ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge
on the Belgian coast are the principa
bases for the operations of the sub

marines in their campaign against
shipping in the North sea and Eng
lish channel. They are of great i'm
portance to the Germans for this
purpose, and it has been recognized
by the allies that to deprive the
enemy of them would be one Of the
most effective means of dealing with
the submarine.
An attack on these ports by the
British fleet has been urged but the
British naval authorities apparently
regard the land defensas as too
strong to make this practicable. Var
ious measures have been adopted to
destroy German submarines on enter
ing or leaving these ports. Field
Marshal Haig's offensive in Flanders
last summer was generally believed
to have as one of it's main objectives
the bending back of the German nor
thern flank so as to deprive the enemy
of these two points.

buy ten pounds of wheat flour and
take pound each or two pounds each

pounds of one kind and five pounds Of
another,-any combination that will
equal the amount of the wheat -four
purchased.
Canned hominy is NOT a SUB
STITUTE.

tanning at least 95 per cent Of the
entire wheat may be sold on the basis
of one pound of this -four and G-1O
of a pound of the specified wheat flour

five pounds of flour to three pounds
of substitutes.

From dusk until dawn the whole
front has been lively north and south
of Lens. The ceaseless rumble Of our
heavies, which are neutralizing hos

tinuous gas shelling, has been accom-

field artillery, carrying out a partic-
ularly harrassing fire program. Peri
odically our artillery fire has reached
a barrage intensity in support of
raiding parties.
Regularly the boche lines have been
lit up with scores of flares, betray-
ing the nervousness which has been
produced among the enemy by such
activity as he has not known on his
front for weeks. The enemy has been
forced to fire his guns under gas
clouds and in gas masks. He has be-
trayed the effect of our tactics by
the diminishing volume of his fire but

AVIATION SOLDIER
BOY MAKES ARREST
CURTIS HOWELL ON LEAVE AR
RESTS DISLOYAL MAN AND
LODGES HIM IN JAIL HERE

Curtis E. Howell and wife enroute
on a leave of absence to his home in
Plentywood, Mont, had chance to
do little extra work for his Uncle
Sam when he arrested disloyal citi-
zen named Abraham Levine on the
train last Friday and turned him over
to local authorities here at Williston
Private Howell became involved in
conversation with Levine and Levine
made several disloyal remarks to him
about the war. He said that Ger
many was going to win and also that
he had about as much chance to whip
the Kaiser here in North Dakota as.
he would over in France. Levine was:
lodged in the County Jail and will
await hearing set for May 23rd. His
bond was set at $4,000 which up to
the present date he has been unable
to furnish.
This case will probably be start
er for several cases of this kind that
will come up here in the near future.
The Williston Loyalty League has
been busy for the past few months on
such cases as this and several COM
plants have been turned in and are
awaiting the action of the federal au-
thorities
Mr.. Howell is in the aviation corp
stationed at Kelly Field in Texas and
gave us very favorable report as to
the wonderful work being done by
this division in training the men.
When asked as to how many men and
machines there were at the camp he
stated he was unable to give out anv
figures but stated that it was Won
derful sight to see several hundred
airplanes in the air at one time The
weather conditions there are quite a
bit different from North Dakota. He
stated that it was over hundred de-
grees in the shade most of the time
The health Of the boys was very good
and they were receiving the best Of
care and everything that they want
ed for their comfort.
One point in particular that .Prvt.
Howell brought out was that the pco-
pie at home with the aid of the gov
ernment should stop the use of Gig
arettes in this division of the army
as it was the worst thing possible for
the mems nerves. He said that if the
folks at home wanted to send the
boys anything in the smoking line to-,
send them pipes and pipe tobacco.
Mr.. Howell and wife left Williston
morning for Plentywood
where he went to look after some of
his business affairs and he expects to.
oe called to France shortly after his
'eturn to the camp.

If i were a Fairy Godmother,
would wave my wand and say to al
mothers, "Love what you have to DO
Children's wants are so numerous ant
mother has such constant demand:
made upon her that she needs to re
tire within herself often and, no mat
ter how tired she may feel, repeat
again and again. 81 love what l have
to do" Then suddenly she will feel
better, and it becomes easier to GO
on with the task of caring for and
training the children. It pays in dol
lars and cents, as we'll as in peace of
mind and satisfaction Of spirit, to de-
vote much thought toward starting
the children right.
What are some of the simple ways
in which we can help our little ones?
Let US begin the day happily, no mat
ter how we feel, and never be discour-
aged nor allow the children to be-
come so. Together, mothers and chill
.dren can learn to be honest, obed1ent
and faithful. -, :,
1t should not be forgotten that all
virtues thrive best in healthy body.
Therefore, give the child plenty of
fresh air, have him sleep in we'll
ventilated room, wear clean, whole
clothes, and eat simple food.
Let Little Ones Help at Home
Let the children take hold and help
about the house a little. At A 1-2
years old they can wash dishes, and
thev love to do so. An oilcloth apron
will keep them dry. They can also
help make beds, brush up crumbs and
do many other things. But we must
not nag the children at their tasks. re-
membering that interest in useful
work may be most successfully de-
veloped by keeping it in the realm of
the play spirit.
We have churches and schools to
help in our work with our children,
but it comes back every time to the
parents and the home to develop in
the children the simple practices
which lead to right and happy living.
We must be patient in answering
questions, and If we do not always
know the answer, let US try to find
out with the children. Fun is as nat
ural as breathing to most children.
Try to laugh with them at their sim
pie jokes.
Let US take little time at the end
of the day, if we can, to tell short
story. The quiet will do us all good.
Perhaps we may have seen a bird,
