AMERICANS OCCUPY CRANDPRE
FORCE GERMANS FROM IMPORT
ANT RAIL JUNCTION.
Steady Rain Has Converted Roads
and Trenches Into Muddy
Canals.

With the American Army Northwest
II EeidUn, Oct. H. The American
troops occupied f!1e town of Grandpre
on the north bank of the Aire river,
north of the Argonne forest.
Rain has fallen over the entire field
of combat, converting roads and
trenches into muddy canals.
Aviation was impossible and the ar
tillery fire was directed entirely by
maps, except in rare instances when
direct fire was used.
Grandpre is only village and it's
normal population is less than 1900,
but the place is Of great strategic i'm
portance. It is the junction of the
railways feeding great part of the
German armies and lies at the foot of
the valley extending northward at the
entrance of which the Germans have
fought so stubbornly.

J New York, Oct. ia copy of a.
cable message from General Pershing
urging the people to buy bonds is
being placed in the letter box of every
home here. In his message General
Pershing said:
1--WE have toiled cheerfully against

has urged us on has been the deter
mination to be worthy of those whom
we left behind when we crossed the
seas. The news of America awake, of
the national spirit more strong, more
unified, more determined, thrills us all.
It is the knowledge OF that spirit
which makes us certain that our peo-
pie at home will stand behind US as
they have from the beginning, so that
we may return soon to you, the VIC
tory won. Buy Liberty Bonds to your
utmost and make victory sure.'

Columbus sought a new trade route |

Columbus sought new trade route tc
the East, not because he was ambitious
for power and wealth, but mainly be-
cause he wanted wealth to equip armies
to rescue Jerusalem and the holy places
in Palestine from the infdel. He was a
deeply religious man and the desire to
place the tomb of our Savior in Chris
tan hands influenced all his life. It has
taken centuries to accomplish it, but it
has been done, and surely one of the re-

the Holy land for ever from the domin.

The great heart of Minnesota beats in

man aid, financial and material, can do,
will surely be done. It seems a pity
that no good way has yet been found
Of satisfactorily controlling conditions
so as to prevent such frightful disas.
ter. The material loss is immense and
much Of it represents the savings and
the results of years Of toll, but this,
after all, will in time be replaced,
though the individual losses will be SER
ious for the most Of them. The precious
lives, however, gone out in the terrible
holocaust, these can never be replaced.
Out of this frightful visitation there
should come some means Of preventing
q repetition.
The st. Paul Dispatch was so worried
that the president might not do Justice
to England when the peace settlement
time comes, that it intimated he
was influenced by German propaganda.
If some country paper had said any
thing like that, it would have been &C.
cused Of treason, but some Of the big
papers and big politicians and alleged
statesmen can continue insulting the
president of the United States, mistrust
his motives, and assail him, and when
they do it, it is to be regarded as pa
triotism. Is it standing by the admin
istration to set up a howl Of fear that
the president will not know when to
act or what to say when necessary
Even those who may not he admirers Of
the president must acknowledge that his
state papers regarding the war have
been masterpieces. What's worrying
some of them is that a democratic pres
ident has in hand the biggest piece of
business the world has SO far had to
settle, and also the fear that he really
believes in democracy in the United
States as well as elsewhere, and that
after the war the people Of this country
are not going to accept economic and
political issues based on before the wal
conditions. That's what grinds.
