COL. ORR AND WIFE HERE

Col. L. G. Orr, accompanied by his
wife, arrived in the city from Iowa,
where they have been visiting rela-
tives, on Thursday evening, and Wis
tied in the city until Sunday, calling
on many of their old friends and re-
newing acquaintances with Genes Of
their former residence in Bookings.
Their time was fully occupied during
their visit and they then had to miss
seeing quite a number who they would
liked to have called on. Horace Fish
placed his car at their disposal
and made it convenient for them to
get around. They are both looking
well and seem to be enjoying as good
health as could be expected, especial
ly after all the colonel has gone
through with in the way Of operations.
On account of a desire to get to their
home at Hot Springs, fixed for their
occupancy. they cut their stay a little
short and left for Pierre, where they
spent a day and then went on to their
home. The colonel is a delegate to
the National G. A. r. encampment at
Portland, Ore, and will make the trip
if Mrs. Orr feels able to accompany
him. Their many friends enjoyed see
ing them once again and trust that in
the future they may visit Brookings
again.

BOOKINGS. SOUTH DAKOTA. JULY Is. 1918
NEW COUNTY CHAIRMAN

The chairman of the county council
of defense, E. L. Squirting, has re-
signed on account of the fact that he
has land interests in Idaho that de-
mand his attention for quite a time
this fall. There is quite a bit of bust
ness for the county chairman to at
tend to right now and that the work
might not be interfered with, Mr..
Squirting resigned. He has been very
energetic and successful in handling
the work of the council for this coun
ty and there are very few spots in
Brookings county that have the slight
est faint of suspicion, as to loyalty.
A. B. Dalthorp of Volga. has been
recommended to the governor for ap-
pointment as chairman, and there is
no doubt but what he will be named.
The appointment would be of the
highest good to the county, as Mr..
Dalthorp is not only financially able
to give his time, but he has the
knowledge, experience and ability to
handle all the matters Of the position
with discretion and irmness. He has
promised to maintain the Office of the
council at the Commercial Club, where
he will be centrally located, and will
either auto over or come on the train
daily. He will no doubt establish Of
fee hours that will be agreeable to
himself and the public. The Register
warmly endorses the appointment of
Mr.. Dalthtorp, knowing that he is an
ideal man for the place.

GIVE AMERICANS
BIGGEST HONORS
IN STEMMiNG THE TIDE OF LAT.
EST GERMAN ADVANCE
TOWARD PARIS
INoFFENSVE GERMAN OFFENSIVE FAILS
In Company With The italian Troops
On East End OF Line Our Boys
Given Credit For Repulse

The latest German strike has been
started with a rush and it has been
met at every point by a resistance
that has been unsurmountable. The
places where any gains were made
and held are very few, only amounting
to local attacks that did not give the
Germans any advantage. In the Sec
tors west and east of Chateau Thierry
American troops suffered a drive back
at the first assault. and the French
general in command, notified the
American general that it was Of no
moment and that 1t did not imperil
the line. He advised him not to cOun-
ter attack at that time as it was not
expected Of u boys after a hard
have been Gen. Hunter Liggett, for it
sounds like he looks, replied, I'VE re-
greet being unable to follow the coun-
sells of our masters, the French, but
the American flag has been forced to
retire. This is uncomfortable and none
of our soldiers would understand their
not being asked to do what ever is
necessary to r~e-establish a situation
which is humiliating to us and unac.
ceptable to u country's honor. We
are going to cOunter-attack." They
did counter-attack, they recovered all
of the lost ground and added an add.
tional half mile for good measure.
The same spirit vas shown on all
three of the sectors where our boys
were in the fight. In others they
backed up the French to such an ex.
tent that they were enabled to force
back the massed formations Of enemy.
East of Rheims the Italians helped the
French to stem the drive and while
there it was not as successful as to
the west, yet the speed IA slack.
ened and no gains were made that
amounted to anything valuable. The
Germans are now giving more atten-
ton to that spot on the front and
have almost entirely abandoned their
attempt to break through the Amer
lean sectors. This offensive has now
dwindled into local attacks with an
attempt to save their front from a
cave-in, or to attempts to recover a
little of the advantage on the front
in spots. The turning movement Of
the Germans around east of Rheims
is becoming apparent and it now
seems &c be their intent to capture
the city that they have smashed to
ruins before. 1t might result in the
loss of that city to the Allies and a
Strengthening of the line where hero
tofore Rheims has been at the apex
of a salient. The loss in that event
would be more of a sentimental ma
ture than of a real gain for the Ger
mans, as any terrain that they cap
tured would be battle SCARED land
and not of much extent.
All opinion from the Allied side is
to the effect that the German often
sive has failed and that the object for
which it was started is farther away
tina never before. Prisoners taken by
the Americans run into the thousands
and the French have been almost
equally successful. German reports
claim awful numbers of prisoners,
which cannot be true as their claims
do rot na,v.;la r,itb ~ othn. 80
ports of the battle that come from
any other sources.

A CASE

Last week Miss Mabel Ward, pro-
fessor of home economics at State
College, missed her Airdale dog,
Andy" and after a search, evidence
of his presence in the locker Of Hugh
Ortley, a student from Huron. was
found by the presence of hairs from
"Andy's" coat. Miss Ward swore out
a warrant for the arrest of Ortley and
the sheriff went to Huron and brought
him back. Ortley admitted that he
and some other boys killed the dog
and his cadaver was found on the
prairie east of the college. This be-
ing the facts, we can speak of this as
a "dog-gone case" Ortley was ar
raigned before Justice Simkins yester-
day and discharged on a technically.
He was at once re-arrested and the
defense took a change of venue to
Justice Moore. The case started yes.
terday. afternoon and Is going On to-
day, with j. c. Alexander appearing
for the state and Cheever & Cheever
defending Ortley. The only reason
so far advanced for killing the dog,
is that Miss Ward took too good care
of him, and the boys who did away
with him thought she ought to spend
her money on a more worthy cause.
ANDY" started out by being a dog
and wound up his career by being the
goat" for the boys ~displeasure. Dog
one anyhow.

DELEGATE THINKS
HOMESTEAD LAW
MAY Be ALTERED
Encouraging News Regarding the
Homestead Law Is Received
From Delegate Sulzer.

The following telegram from Dele.
gate Sulzer was received by the
Nenana Commercial club yesterday
Washington, D. C. Aug. %, 1918
Commercial Club,
Nenana, Alaska.
public land committee tod,y un-
animously authorized me to report
for passage without amendment nv
bill to abolish eighty rod strip be-
tween homesteads along ravigable
waters in Alaska. Have received
very favorable joint report from
the secretary of interior and the
secretary of agriculture and bill will
become law as soon as can go through
procedure, which may take some
time, owing to war matters having
right of way. This law will relieve
many of our most worthy citizens
from an unjust burden, and will be
means of causing more rapid settle
ment and development of territory,
especially at close of war; this will
enable many to secure patents to
homesteads for which applications
have been pending for years.
"SULZER,
Delegate"
In accordance with the regulations
under the homestead law now in
force: mo entry may extend more
than 100 rods Zone half mile) along
the shore of any navigable or other
waters, and along such shore
space of at least eighty rods shall
be reserved from entry between all
such claims. The use of such space
OF 80 rods between claims abutting
on any navigable stream, inlet, bay.
gulf or seashore bay be granted
by the secretary of the interior to
citizens, associations of citizens, or
corporations, for landing and wharv-
es, the public being allowed access
thereto"
The term "navigable waters" is
defined by the act of May ID, 1898
to include all tidal waters up to
the line of ordinary high tide and
all non-tidal waters navigable, in
fact up to the line of high water
mark and the expression "other
waters" is held to include all waters
of sufficient magnitude to REQUIRE
meandering under the manual of
surveys, or which are used as a
or for spawning purposes
by salmon or other sea-going fish.
The strict application of the laws
will work great hardship on those
who have taken up homestead Lea
lions along the river, especially in
the Fairbanks district, as it will
mean that they will have to give up
improved and cultivated lands ahrt-
ting on the waterfront to per.nit
OF the S0-rod reservation between
all claims.
The news contained in the dele
gates telegram will be welcomed
by all homesteaders who ill be
affected by the amendment which he
is trying to put through for the
benefit of the Alaskan farmer

DR.. Henry Nelson Snyder, presi-
dent of Wofford college and gifted
speaker, will be a Bamberg visitor
next Sunday and Monday. About this

newed interest, enthusiasm and in
creased membership locally is plan
ned. Special services for the young
mems Bible class of the Methodist
church will be held that morning in

Death of MIR. Charles A. French.

Olar. Feb. 11.-This community
was shocked Saturday morning as
result of the sudden and unexpected
death of one of Glars most infiu-
entail citizens, Charles A. French,
foreman of the Sa,tkeatchie. Lumber
Company's plant at Schoie}d. Mr..
French had not been in good health
for several weeks, but through his
remarkable will power he worked
until the time of his death. He had
made up his mind to go to Columbia
for medical treatment on the 10 a..
m. train yesterday, and worked until
a half hour before train time. he
then went to his home to dress and
as he attempted to put on his coat
he fell dead. Mr.. French was re-
spected by all who knew him. He
was SO years of age, and was con-
sistent member of the Olar Metho-
dist church. The funeral services
were held at his late residence yes
terday afternoon by his pastor, the
Rev. Achille Sassard, of Olar, after
which his family left with the re-
mains for Benezetts, Pa, his old
home, where the interment will
take place Tuesday.
Mr.. French leaves a widow and
two children. T. l.. French, of Scho-
field. and Miss Verna French, of the
Columbia College faculty.
Among the floral offerings were
two beautiful designs from the fac
ultv of Columbia College and from
Miss French's music class.

Miss Howell Goes to Washington.

Miss Matte J. Howell, teacher in
the Bamberg high school, received
message last week to proceed to
Washington at once, where she has
accepted a very fattering position do
ing clerical work as a clerk in the
war department. Miss Howell I'M
mediately resigned her position as
teacher here and left Friday for
Washington, which is her home, and
where she has probably already en-
tered upon her duties.
Miss Howell's resignation came as
a source of much regret to trustees,
parents. students and teachers alike
here, and her place in the school will
indeed be difficult to fill. She is a
gratuate of Converse college, Spar
tanburg, and is thoroughly compe-
tent both as a teacher and for the
patriotic service which she goes to
perform. She was very highly re-
garded by the school trustees and her
ability and skill as teacher were
eminently commended by those in
a position to know her qualifications.
The loss to the school will therefore
be great She had taught here for
the past two years and had made
many friends here as we'll as in Den
mark where she taught before COM
ing to the Bamberg school.
To fill Miss Howells place in the
high school Miss Ella May Martin,
of the primary department, has been
changed, and Mrs. E. P. Allen will
substitute for Miss Martin in the pri-
mary grades. This arrangement, it
is believed, will prove satisfactory to
the patrons of the school, but will,
nevertheless, only be temporary un-
less it is found that permanent
teacher can not be procured for, the
remainder of the session.
