ilssst twenty-five thousand prisoners
have been taken and i very large num-.
ber Of guns and other munitions. Prob
ably the greatest loss Of the Germans in
war II not in history. The casualties
are very heavy.
Is From the way the dispatches read, it
looks as il our own American boys
s'started something. They were near
the Chateau Thierry sector. The Ger
mans were fighting to cross the Marne
towards the south and succeeded in
getting over on twelve mile front in
spite Of heavy opposition. In this tight.
ing, the Americans we're crowded back-
wards some two miles and they did not
like it. In spite OF the advice Of the
French general commanding the lmme-
diate forces they made a counter assault.
took back the two miles lost and then
went half mile farther. After that
example, possibly because Of 1t, Foch
sent in more forces and the lighting has
been to tho advantage Of the entente
allies ever since. Il is said that alto
gether that there are about 100000
Americans in this second battle of the
Marine.
The fighting ls still going on as we
write and final results are but matters
Of guess-work. At present, without far
ther progress, the ententes have won a
great victory, the greatest for them Of
the whole war. Under any circum-
stances except that the Germans turn
the defeat into victory which is almost
impossible, the events of the past week
must have great effect on the prospects
Of peace, while the events of the week to
come may have still greater influence.
Personally, as we have said before, we
do not believe that Germany ls in con-
dition, morally, economically or from a
military point of view, to atand defeat
1t is not impossible that the whole fab.
ricatlon OF the grand central empire
constructed by the kaiser, may collapse
in the near future like house of cards.

a LEVER NEEDED

DR.. Won Kuehlman, the German
Minister for Foreign Affairs, foresees no
end to the war through military
s,iccess. Peace must come, he says.
through diplomatic means. He speaks.
soE course, from the Hun viewpoint;
since it has become evident that ultimate
military success cannot rest with the
Central Powers. Nevertheless, before
diplomatic conversations are begun, it
will probably be highly useful if the
Allies accumulate few sweeping mill
itary successes with which to confront the
Teutons when the peace parleys open.

Knit" published in the Pioneer Express
three weeks ago, but regret to say that
none Of them attempt to answer the
questioe propounded. Instead, they
scold the writer for asking the question,
and praise ths Red Cross for it's mani.
fest and valuable work.
The authors motives in asking the
question is matter of very little, If any,
interest to the reading public. AS to
whether it was question of public in.
terest, we may say that it was matter
OF public discussion by periodicals OF
very large circulation and that it was a
matter commonly discussed by the Red
Cross workers themselves. Any ques.
tion thus discussed. by the general
public is certainly proper matter fol
editorial themes.
Letters from men in the service, con.
versations with Red Cross workers, OBJ.
servation Of the work, were the reasons
why the editorial was written.
Here is the simple fact: machine can
knit a hundred times faster than can
anybody's hands, and yet everybody ie
knitting. Is it disloyal to ask whyl
"There's not to ask the reason why,
there's but to do and die'' is but q
poetical rendering Of German "kultur. .
Americans are not built that way. They
want to know why. Convince them ol
the utility and need and they will supply
the needs, not like the blind mule that
rounds the never ending circle under
the whip, but like the intelligent race
horse which strives to- reach the goal
because he also wants to win.
Nothing will better increase the eff.
ficiency and output Of Red Cross work
more than to let the workers understand
the necessity Of the work as laid out by
the authorities Of the organization,
many of the details OF which otherwise
seem arbitrary or useless to the worker.
That the Red Cross is doing most
magnificent work for the soldiers and
sailors is, so we'll known that this writer
took it for granted that there was no
necessity for information on that point
in the editorial. We also thought that
readers of previous editorial matter, and
the fact that four boys from the Pioneer
Express families are in. tbe service and
that the writer wears a Il. A. R. button,
ought to stand for the loyalty. part with
out special reference, but it seems to
some rather superficial readers that
simply asking question pertaining to
some methods Of work lis dlsloyal. We
wish these critics would again read that
editorial and show us any specific op.
position to the Red Cross and its work
We shall be glad to publish any com.
smunication that will answer the; ques-
ton propounded. But the value 81
extent Of Red Cross work does not
answer, and still less do criticisms Of the
motives Of the writer.
II need be, We will all knit; II not,
then let us do something else that is
needed. S

THE, PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

AS we wrote last week the Germans
were on three sides of Rheims and mill.
tary critics prophesied its early fall into
their hands. Today that situation has
been transferred to the other corner Of
the Rheims-Soisons- Chateau salient,
Rheims freed from danger, and the
ententes at the gates of Soissons.
As previously written in this series.
the Germans began a fifth great summer
drive seeking road to Paris by way Of
the Marne river over nearly the same
sground that was the scene Of the first
great surprise attack in 1914, and history
is srepeatlng itself in much the same way
and the present drive has become per-
haps the greatest defeat the Germans
have received since the beginning Of the
war.
The German drive was stopped last
Thursday. On Wednesday. Gen. Foch
began counter attack, on front 81
about twenty-five miles on the Soissons-
Thierry side Of the salient. This drive
was successful in pressing the Germans
backwards and has continued from day
to day with the attacking lines gradually
increasing IN length and now extending
practically All around two sides Of the
salient; the entente allies taking back
i all the territory gained By the Germans
In the first onset, and on the Rhierry.

The comparative peace, security and
prosperity Of this country even in this
world war, we believe will cause con-
siderable immigration after peace is
declared, though opportunities for labor
to repair damages over there will give
plenty Of employment in Europe.

tions are bong taught 70 know the
American soldier these weeks, it is also
true that other nations Of Europe, in-
cluding our allies. will learn consider
ably about the Americans. The battle.
field brings personal characteristics into
the lime light. We Americans know
the Germans very much better now than
q few years ago. We hope and believe
that our American boys will make a
better impression than have the Hun
troops.

When the boys write back that they
are happy and cheerful and like army
life, do not think by that they accept
that sort of occupation as a permanent
job. A few will, but most are simply
adopting themselves to the clrcum-
stances Of the positions in which they
find themselves. They are but making
the best of it and are cultivatlng that
spirit. They take their hardships and
dangers as inevitable, but eyen then, by
looking on the brighter sides, can find
much that is really enjoyable. But
army life with its dangers, deprivations,
isolations, discipline and opportunities
does not appeal to the average American
boy as a permanent thing. But-when
they say they are satisfied and even

BODY OF STRANGER
IS FOUND IN FIELD
So BGdly Decomposed That
Identification Was Rem
dered Impossible.

Aberdeen, s. D., Sept. s.A-The badly
decomposed body OF an unknown man
was found on the farm of Christ Lar
sen, two and a half miles from Warner,
s. d., and about 20 miles from Aber-
deem. The body was found in a corn
field, as men working for Mr.. Larsen
entered the field to cut corn. lndi-
cations point to the possibility that the
man was murdered. as the skull was
fractured in two places. There were
no papers or other means of identifi-
cation on the body. The hat or cap
was missing, there was only a comb
and a few other trinkets in the pockets.
The body was found about a quarter
OF a mile from the Milwaukee railroad
track, II n theory is that he may
nave been struck by a train and wan
dered TO the corn field before dropping
down to die of his hurts. The body
had evidently ain where it was found
for a period of -four or five weeks.
The man wore a suit of blu serge
clothing, without a vest, n striped
shirt and shoes of good quality. A
sandy beard of four or five days
growth covered the face and he had
dark brown hair with but a few evil
dences OF grey in 1t. A razor. wrapped
in a copy Of an Aberdeen paper dat
ed July 29 was on the body. A torn
bit OF paper, with some writing dimly
appearing on it was found. The writ
ing seemed to be that of a girls name
and of a town. The name seemed to
be Christine Shaw" and the own APP
peared TO be "Verdon, Neb."
So badly decayed was the body that
the coroner and sheriff found it i'm
possible to remove it, and 1t was
buried near the spot where it was dis
covered.
No one has been reported missing
in this section, and ii is probable the
man was a stranger, who had prob
ably come to South Dakota for the
harvest season and was murdered or
met with a fatal accident.

MUST NOW PROCEED

South Dakota Supreme Court
Untangles Sioux Falls Con-
troversy-0ther Opinions.

Pierre, s. d., Sept. THE supreme
court has affirmed the opinion of the
Minnehaha county trial court in hold
ing that the city manager law of 1917
was unconstitutional, but as the low
er court had held this unconstitution-
al some time ago. the 1918 special ses-
sion enacted a law to take it's place,
which 1T is presumed is constitu-
tional. Sioux Falls had voted for a
city manager under the old 1917
statute, s%upposing II constitutional
and thinking that the p court
might declare it SO, has not yet pro-
ceeded under the new act to get its
board of commissioners, manager,
etc, but now the city will need to
proceed under the new law with the
proper procedure to effect it's city
manager government.
The courts had held, and the SUI
preme court holds. the old 1917 law
unconstitutional because the title Of
the act embraced more than one sub

MONSTER WHEAT YIELD
NEAR SIOUX FALLS

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. This has
been a year of big small grain crops
in South Dakota, and yields Of 2S, 80
or 80 bushels of wheat to the acre have
not been uncommon. but 1t is believed
all records for yields have been broken
on the farm Of Hans Ruwald, a short
distance west Of Sioux Falls. Ruwald
threshed the crop from six one
half acres which he had in to wheat,
and this mas threshed out an average
of about 4S bushels TO the acre. From
the six and one-half acre tract he re-
ceived 34S bushels. The wheat at pres
ent market prices gives him a return
Of $50 per acre for the tract devoted
to the crop.

WATERFOWL, s. D., Sept. Fire.
which is believed to have started
within an hour and a quarter of the
time the night eastbound Minneapolis
d st. Louis passenger train, leav-
ing Watertown at IL o'clock, was due
to cross, destroyed h big trestle a
little distance west Of Revillo. The
origin of the blaze remains a mystery.
Despite numerous rumors the rail-
road officials have been able to make
no explanation of the probable cause,
according to advices received by the
chief dispatcher here. Fortunately the
flames were visible to the engineer of
the passenger train far enough ahead
so that he was able to bring his train
to a stop before 1t rolled onto the
trestle.
