Drift Of lbs War Satisfactory.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the Germans are making Her Gu
lean efforts to break through the
allied lines, rush to the walls of
Paris, and there under threats
of the destruction of that beauti-
ful city, dictate terms of peace,
the general trend of the war is
satisfactory.
Despite progress of the enemy
on the map, the Allies are max
ing still greater progress in the
matter of power. This is due in
part to the rapidity with which
America is now coming into the
fight, plusthe growing confidence
of British and French in their
ability to hold fast until we arrive
in adequate force. Germany's
refusal to admit coming defeat is
quite comprehensive. Though
unwilling to make the admission,
Prussian leaders undoubtedly
know that militarism is doomed;
that the superior resources of the
Allies, reinforced by the oncom-
ing food Of American soldiers,
will ere long destroy their power
for good. They are too intelli-
gent to really believe that in
their present condition of decline
they can accomplish their world
wide ambitions. But out of
sheer desperation they prefer the
chances of ruin rather than con-
fess defeat. They are taking the
gamblers chances and plunging
with the utmost recklessness,
hoping to secure all the advan-
tages possible and do all the in
Jury possible before the fateful
peace parleys begin. The great
er their winnings now, the great
er the chance they hope of using
those winnings as an offset to the
Allied terms. Of course German
military leaders will not admit
such contingencies; and by skill
fully deceiving its civilian popu-
lation and buoying them up with
doctored reports of great victor
les, dreams of Mittel-Europa,
etc, they have been able to keep
the war going. So the cruel
game is still on for the purpose
Of maintaining a criminal gov
ernment which has wrought hor-
rors and immoralities that stag.
ger humanity.

RED CROSS SALE
WAS A HUMMER

The Red Cross sale which was held
in this city Friday was a most sue
cessful one, and the result of this sale
is that. the Red Cross fund of this
county has been swelled over SIS, 700.
The sale took place in the afternoon
and auctioneer Hyland, assisted by
several others, were kept busy until
supper time, and the sale was continu-
ed in the evening, and yet all the
goods donated were not disposed Of,
and the balance will be sold at some
later date.T bidding was spirited
and everything put up brought good
prices. A. beautiful silk flag donated
by Dan Kelly, brought $3.50, and a
small flag brought in the neat sum of
$342.5O. To go over the whole list and
show just how successful the sale was
would take much time and space, but
siffice to say that the fact that over
$1,000 was raised, goes to show that
the crowd was large and the bidding
spirited.

HOME GUARD IS
VERY NECESSARY

Last year Devils Lake had splen-
did home guard organization and they
put in a great Geal of time drilling
with the result that they were very
efficient company.
Now that we are on the eve Of seed
ing, with strangers dropping into town
every day, we would suggest We re-
vive the home guard proposal and see
to it there are absolutely no men per-
mitted to loaf around in the face of
the great need Of labor. Strangers
who persist in loafing about town af-
ter proffers of work at going wages
should be promptly told to hike, and
the order enforced. Labor agitators
of any kind, if found making effort
to create dissatisfaction, should be or
dered out of town peremptorily, and
if they refuse to move, arrested and
dealt with for impeding country's well
fare.
There is a lot of latitude at this time
in dealing with loafers and agitators
who attempt to interfere with the
country's production, and this is no
time to stand on the niceties Of wheth-
er this or that can. be done-the thing
to do is to help in every way with our
farm work. Realslaboring men will
be more than welcome, but mix on the
Weary Willies. sa1 s.

70 CIA PINCH HITTER,
FACED WORSE CRISIS

my right is retreating, my center
is broken, my left is routed-I shall
attack
These were Foch's words at the de-
cisive moment Of the Marne. As it
stands today the Allied prospects on
the Somme are far less desperate than
their outlook at the Merne or >Yrpse,
and Foch snatched victory out Of de-
feat on both these occasions.
No general in this war has been as
fortunate or faced such terrible crisis
as Foch, now named as commander of
the whole Allied force on the west.
With the twentieth army corps he
saved Nancy after the French defeat
at Morhange in August, 1914.
In the first days Of September it
was his army which delivered the de-
cisive thrust at the Marne.
Six weeks later he was in supreme
command Of the Allied armies be-
tween the sea and the Scarpe and dir
Getting the British, French and Belgian
operations in the glorious stand which
saved Calais and ended the German
offensive in the west.
If there is to be an Allied counter
offensive now the man who won the
Merne by this counter-thrust at the
moment when defeat seemed assured
is the man for commander-in-chief.

DAN Y. brennan
ANSWERS LAST CALL

Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky
came the news 20 this city this morn
ing that Dan v. Brennan, assistant at
torney general of this state, had pass
ed away at the Deaconess hospital in
St. Paul, after being sick only few
days from pneumonia. 1t has been
only day or two since the report
came here that Mr.. Brennan was sick,
and the announcement Of his death
has been a great shock to this COM
munity. He was born and raised in
this city, and was widely known over
the state. He is the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. H. Brennan Of this city, and
besides his parents he leaves a wife
and baby, besides two brothers and q
sister to mourn his death. At this
time funeral arrangements have not
been made, but will undoubtedly be
held from this city the latter part OF
the week.

ago was an extensive operator in
lands along the main line Of the Grea,

Streeter has not been in North Da-
kota for ten years, having operated in
Texas, Old Mexico and Florida since
leaving the state and upon returning

greatest opportunities for the farmer

SOLDIER BOYS GIVEN
A GREAT OVATION

Friday afternoon a special train
bearing about $50 soldier boys, left
the depot in this city for the training
camps, where they will be equipped
and trained and later will be sent to
the front. Forty-nine Of those boys
were from Ramsey county, and the
balance from Towner, Pierce and Mel
son counties. They all arrived here on
the regular trains, and were transport
to spcial train here. At IL o'clock
the Ramsey county boys were tender
ed a banquet in the Elks' home and
many of our citizens joined in, and
after the meal, which was furnished
by the ladies and was splendid one,
there were several good talks, and in
front of the home the boys fell in
line, and with the local band at the
had they marched to the depot, and
were followed by hundreds Of citizens.
At the depot there was an, enormous
crowd and the enthusiasm displayed
by our citizens plainly showed that the
folks at home were behind the boys
and would do their best to see that
they got what they needed while at
the front. All in all it was class of
splendid young men, and they went
off in the best Of spirits. In some
instances it was touching to see faith
ers and mothers, brothers and sisters
bidding their loved ones good bye, but
We all pray and hope that each and
every one of them may return home
safe and sound, and in the meantime
they may rest assured that the hands
and hearts Of every true American is
right at their back.
