EXPLAINS WAR AIMS
Former French Minister Sums Up
in Five Words.
N. Miilerand Pointedly Asserts That
"Prussian Milltarism Must Be
Crushed"

Washington, Aug. I'm a review Of
the war on the fourth anniversary of
its inception, M. Millerand, former
French minister of war, sums up
Frances was aims in the following
five words:
"Prussian militarism must be de-
stroyed."
Crushing Pr~ussianism, according to
M Millerand, will mean:
"1-Restoration of Alsace-Lorraine.
~"2-Reuniting of Italia irredenta.
"3-Freedom of Roumania and
Pennsylvania from Hungarian domina-
ton.
"4-Restoration of Belgium and
Serbia.
Establishment of an independ-
ent CZecho-Slovak state and free Po-
land"
THE new world did not enter upon
the scene, did not cross the Atlantic,
does o accomplish the daily miracles
at which we are astonished and CRATE
full witnesses to content itself with a
bastard or delusive peace, fraught
with danger to all.
THE United States and France
with her, will never rest until our
aims are attained. Prussian militar-
ism must be crushed"

CONTRACTS LET
SIDEWALK AND CHIMNEY I'M
PROVEMENTS AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL.

The city board of education held a
meeting recently and let out two con-
tracts, one for cement work and the
other for sidewalk construction.
Fred Knutson was awarded the
contract which looks towards the i'm
provement in appearance and safety
of the chimney of the old heating
plant of the Central building. This
contract calls for metal lathing to
reinforce the cement applied. Added
strength will thus be gained and the
chimney when finished will assume
a more pleasing appearance. In pro-
viding for greater stability of the
chimney against wind and any pos
sible vibration, guy wires will be so
placed as to hold the structure intact.
The second awarded contract was
given to j.. S. Thompson, who will
construct a sidewalk connecting the
east side door with the sidewalk al
ready laid thus providing better exit
accommodations. 1t is expected that
both contracts will be completed be-
fore the regular fall session begins.

Citizenship BILL
MISS WATKINS WILL MEET MAD
ISON LADIES AT A PORCH
PARTY.

Miss Gertrude Watkins, of Little
Rock, Ark, wishes to meet all patri-
otto ladies of Madison at a porch
meeting which is to be held at the
home of Mrs. II. H. Frudenfeld at 8
O'Clock this evening. Miss Watkins
is here in the interests of the citizen
ship bill and also to organize a state
wide drive on behalf of the suffrage
movement.
Besides this interesting meeting
Miss Watkins, assisted by several
outside workers, will conduct a SEES
sion on or about Thursday of next
week at which time more efforts will
be made for cooperation looking to-
wards complete organization of
forces in this vicinity.
The fact that New York, by a ma
jority of 5000, enfranchised her
women, and that England, Canada,
Australia, Russia and New Zealand
are standing staunchly by their re-
spective wives and mothers should
convince the ONE of this country
and especially South Dakota of the
worthiness of the cause. A full at
tendance is desired.

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Madison People i'm Poor Health
without Knowing the Cause

There are scores Of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root Of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys, as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You a use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endrosed
by people all owe the country and by
your neighbors in Madison.
John A. Norton, Egan avenue,
Madison, says: my kidneys trou-
bled me a lot. l had severe backache
and soreness over my kidneys that
made it hard for me to bend over or
lift anything. My kidneys acted ir-
regularly. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they soon fixed my kidneys
up in good shape and stopped the
aches and pains in my back"
Price, so cents, at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney rem
edy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the
same that MI. Norton had. Foster

FOCH HOLDS THE INITIATIVE
May Start Offensive on Other Sectors
of Front.

Washington, Aug. 5.-General Foch
now holds the initiative and 1t had
been demonstrated that the best
troops the German high command is
able to throw into the fray are of In
sufficient fighting strength to stop the
progress Of the combined French,
American and British forces. In the
view OF many here 1t will not be long
until General Foch will show further
steps in his war plan by the starting
of an offensive on other sectors of
the front. The Flanders salient in
the northern front may become the
of Allied offensive operations at
any time as it is known that a great
concentration of British troops there
has been effected.

Land DEALS
MINNEHAHA COUNTY LAND
SELLS FOR $3.50 PER ACRE.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 5.-Minnehaha
county land has broken all former
records by bringing a price of $3.50
an acre, this price having just been
paid by a hardwood, Ia, man. whose
name has not been learned, for the
fine farm of Mike Germ, of Sioux
Falls, situated near Garretson. The
farm contains 200 acres and is one
of the best improved in the county.
The buildings are all comparatively
new and everything about the farm
is in the pink. of condition. The pur-
chaser who is familiar with land val
ues in this part of South Dakota, and
adjoining territory in Iowa, figures
that even at $3.50 an acre he secured
the land cheap, considering the excel
lence of the farm and the n in
which the average South Dakota
farm Is increasing in value. 1t is
said to be the intention of the new
owner to ultimately occupy the farm
himself.
Draper, Aug. 5.-The O'Reilly
Land company closed an unusually
large land deal this week wherein
Robert o'Reilly became the sole own
er of the A. Y. ranch located on
White river southeast of Draper, hav-
ing bought John F. Whites half in
~terest. The consideration is not
known as yet, but the deal involves
between $4,000 and $175,000 and
aside from the real estate the prop
erty consists of 1000 head of cattle
and 200 head of horses. Mr.. White
has not decided as yet as what he will
do or where he will locate, but 1t is
quite likely that he will buy another
ranch a little nearer town. He went
down to Beresford this week to at
tend the golden wedding anniver-
sary of his parents.
