Only a small crowd turned out
to hear Prof. Olaf @. Stageberg
of Red Wing, speak at the as
sembly hall in Askov. Monday
evening. As long as the genial
professor spoke on prohibition
his remarks appeared to be. well
taken by the audience but when
he commenced talking politics
and boosting the new National
party those present thought they
were vetting more than they had
contracted for. Politics Of course
is alright in it's place but when a
man is out on the mission of
talking prohibition it appears
that he should stick to that and
not be boosting new political
party. or for that matter any
other party. Mr.. Stageberg is
himself candidate for governor
of this state on the National
ticket. So many new parties are
coming to life these days that
our populace will be entirely con-
fused before long. 1t is an easy
matter to draw up good sound
ing, and for that matter, just plat
forms, hut TO live UP to them
that's the point. The man be-
hind the gun is what counts.

the Minnesota District is run

Germans Make Advance On Ypres
German Sweep Checked and Their Thrust Toward Amiens Blocked
GERMANS NEARING YPRES
London, April 27.-The Germans claim
to be within two miles of Ypres to-day.

Hindenburg's sweep toward Ypres and
the south has been checked, temporarily
at least, by wall Of human bodies inter-
posed by the British and French. The
whole northern portion Of the Flanders
battle front, from the Lys river to the
Ypres-C Confines Canal is abIaze with des-
perate fighting. But the enemy advance,
after prolonged struggle that carried
them through barrier Of hills down on
low lands, has been held at point south
west of Voormezeele. This village is less
than two miles south of Ypres.
In Picardy the Franco-British forces
not only continue to block the thrust to-
ward Amiens, but they are improving their
positions by counter attacks. Haig said
that more than nine hundred German pris-
oners were taken in the region of Hangard
Ensanterre and Villers-B -Brtonneux yester-
day afternoon. .,@ss sr.

HIndenburg'S Progress In West
Will Eventually Exhaust Him
By Expenditure of Human LiDeS

ruin Of his great plan to end the war
before Americas military strength
can be brought to bear. There is
every reason for confidence in Cen
eral Foch's ability to prevent this by
compelling the uninterrupted pay
ment of German casualties on con-
tinuously high scale.
Won Hindenburg has not yet reach
ed his Moscow but the basis Of the
strategy that overthrew Napoleon in
Russia is now being used by General
Foch under modern conditions. Won
Hindenburg's progress in the west
will eventually exhaust him, through
the too costly expenditure Of human
lives, just as Napoleon progressed but
lost him man power in Russia.
Won Hindenburg, however, will not
abandon his quest yet. He has be-
come the victim of his own ruthless
machine. He cannot guide it. He
can only feed the machine with Ger
man lives and trust to fate, which is
moving inexorably against him.

Disloyal Mer-

Sparta, Tenn, April 26.--Sparta
and White county have been stirred
today as never before and patriotic
feeling is running at high pitch.
This morning the Sparta Expositor, in
a most sensational publication, expos
ed the firm Of Young & Boles, one Of
the largest mercantile establishments
here, by charging thatthey had stead
fastly refused to aid in any war move
ments; had declined to buy liberty
bonds, sci thrift stamps, aid the Red
Cross or contribute in any other way
to help win the war; ad as a climax,
that one of the firm had insulted mem
hers of the liberty loan committee,
one of them leading woman Of
Sparta. The paper practically called
upon ell the people Of this town and
county to cease their patronage Of
this establishment.

New York, April 27.--Von Hin
denburg's renewed pressure on the
front between Ypres and Hazebrouck
after the recent heavy German cas-
ualties, is still another indication of
the growing realization in Germany
that the present situation in the west
is not exerting its expected influence
upon theending Of the war.
BY securing a footing on Mt. KEN
mel, the Germans have added diff
culties to the British defense of the
Ypres salient, but have not placed
in any peril the British forces de-
Tending that area. The British line
continues intact. 1t is in perfect
position for another moderate retire
ment, if it becomes necessary to ex-
change still a little more ground for
a further slaughter of German man
power. The key to the entire west
front situation at the moment is the
impossibility for Won Hindenburg to
stop his efforts without confessing the
