ciennes and Cambria, which are es-
sentiaI to Hindenburg for maneu-

he had used all OF his ingenuity to
avoid"
The Telegraph, also noting the
danger to the important centers of
communications says:
'sIf the Germans cannot stand be-

Other commentators remark that
the Germans now pretend that they
are retiring according to plan, and
are convinced that the retirement
will be compulsorily carried much
further than they ever intended.

Company B auxiliary met Monday
evening and transacted considerable
business. Instead Of presenting
flowers to members of the families
Of Company B boys, who have made
the supreme sacrifice, 1t was decided
to present the mother, the family or
special friend, with silk service
flag with a gold embroidered star.
The auxiliary also voted TO adopt
two French orphans, twins, or two
members of a family, and provide
for their support by assessing each
member of the auxiliary, so cents a
year.
Earn $500 by Shocking.
Reports Of the shocking activities
Of the auxiliary for the past month
were made and it was found that
nearly $500 had been added to the
Company B Relief fund from these
labors in the field. Every Saturday
afternoon and evening and Sunday
a force of cleaners from the auxil-
larry will leave Fargo, starting from
the auditorium, TO gather the grain
left in the fields. Any one wishing
TO join these parties will be well
come. and cars will be provided to
take the workers to the scene Of ac-
ton.
Resume Salvage Work.
A committee from the auxiliary
has been busy with preparations for
assisting the Salvage department Of
the Red Cross in beginning It's fall
work.
The Salvage Solicitation corps Is
composed OF Company B auxiliary
members and other women who
have become interested in this
branch Of Red Cross work, whose
special work is to solicit the stock
which the Salvage workers reclaim
and sell. The proceeds from these
sales for the first season netted the
Fargo branch Of the Red Cross near
ly $1,000 month 1t is hoped that
the fall and winter season will be
even more profitable. Wednesday

Clean Porterfield Farm.

Cleaners was made on Sunday. when
they visited the w. P. Porterfeld
farm. A goodly amount of grain was
salvaged and when a sufficient
quantity has been secured. 1t will be
threshed and sold, the proceeds go
ing into the Company B Relief fund.
There are great possibilities in the
practice Of cleaning the fields after
the threshing, and by this work,
numbers OF bushels OF grain, which
heretofore have annually been vast
ed will be saved. The workers first
began their work with rakes, but
quickly decided favor OF the hand
method and the heads Of the stalks
were shipped off and put into their
bags, which were filed, at least twice
during the afternoon. A picnic lunch
was served at the Porterfield farm at
noon.

E. 10y ASSpClGEGCA. EES6Esg
Paris, Sept. 81 Yesterday was an
other day of notable successes for
the allies. results of the first ina
portance being attained in the face
OF stiff resistance to both the British
on the left OF the line and to Gen.
Mangin's French troops on the right.
The French military conmenta-
tors write enthusiastically today
over the breach In the Hindenburg
line made by the British between
Drocourt and Quenat.
Astonishing as it may seem, "
says Henri Bidou in the Journal des
Debats, the enemy was once more
taken by surprise. Only by ac-
cepting this as a fact can one ac-
count for the great number of
prisoners which indicate the inn
portance of the forces engaged and
the lack Of the prolonged resistance
which should have been the con-
sequence of the presence of this
important mass Of electives. Doubt
that the British after several days
hard fighting, would be obliged to
rest. -s s.. d..
In the newspaper: Oui, Col. Fabry
advances the Wow that the battle
is being directed on the German side
by the local commanders, who are
being more and more left to their
own resources by Gen. Ludendorff.
This, he argues, Is a certain sign
that confusion prevails along the
German line and likewise Of a scar
city of reserves, for in losing its
reserves the supreme command
loses it's best reason for intervening
in the direction of affairs at the
front, the critic points out.
Widespread Effect.
All the Commentators agree that the
British success is likely to have
widespread effects and that the Ger
man armies fighting before St.
Quentin and Lafere will be obliged
to accelerate their retreat for fear
of the fall of what is characterized
as the pivot of the whole line, to the
west of Cambria which would plaee
them in jeapordy. On the south end
the enemy is continuing to interpose
an energetic resistance between the
Aisne and Ailette, profting by tho
lntricacies OF the terrain which
makes the region one OF the most
difficult to attack and easiest to de-
fend. on the whole western front.
Nevertheless Gen. Mangin is max
ing progress daily, scoring advances
which while not great in themselves,
are appreciable and continuous and
are calculated to have a culnintive
effect. -, E,.:. -. .- 49,.
Through the capture of Leuilly,

Sorny is on level with the Chemin

advance is to give a view over the

London View OF Il.

London, Sept .S.-The sensational
breaking of the famous Droucourt-
Queant switch J e after series of
important allied advances with great
captures of men and material, has
made an immense impression here.
While too great confidence that the
success can be maintained is deprecat-
ed, and while the exceptation is gen
eral that the enemy will make the
most desperate efforts to recover the
position, the blow is regarded as one
Of the worst disasters inflicted on
the Germans during the whole war
and one which must cause their high
command the deepest anxiety.
THE belief is general that the
switch line is the main system of
German defense and that there is
nothing equally strong behind it.
Consequently its loss, If it becomes
final, opens the widest possibilities.
It's loss would involve the evacua-
ton of the French coal fields, per-
maps even of the Flanders coast"

MANY PRISONERS akehS
On the northern half of the Dro-
court Queant battlefront there were
some 5000 in the cages last night.
Thousands more had been taken to
the hospital wounded, while prob
ably more than 1000 additional cap
lures have been effected on the
southern half of the front.
In one place along the line of bat
tie eight German divisiens-or rath-
er four comparatively fresh divi-
sions and the remnants Of four other
divisions-wers fighting against
three British divisions. An officer
from one of these enemy divisions,
which was the second guards re-
serve, said however. that his division
had been in the fighting for more
than week and that its electives
would number less than a thousand
men. In his battalian only himself
and q Of his men had survived, he
declared. He added that the Ger
man losses had been heavier than
any they had \ previously suffered.
In their push northeastward along
the Bapaume=Cambrai road the
British have reahed Beungny (unof-
ficial adyices from London this NOR
ming reported the British in today's
advance to have pushed some 315
miles beyond this point). The town
Of Villers -Au-F los, south of Bap-
aume- Perrone road and in the fight
ing just to north were we'll on their
way toward Rocquigny. The Ger
mans were in heavy force in the re-
gion of Noreuil and hard fighting
was in progress there.
There is every sign that the en-
envy is hurrying his retirements on
this part of the British front to get
behind what is left of his defensive

Reconstruction work for the gov
eminent will be included in activities
of members Of the Red Cross Junior
auxiliaries throughout the northern
division, which will be organized at
the opening of school this month, &C
cording to Miss Helen Harrison of
Minneapolis, divisional director Of
the Junior membership work.
Miss Harrison expects as many as
100000 boys and girls TO join auxil-
iaries this fall. The first two months
will be devoted primarily to organi
zation and reorganization of the
branches in the big city schools as
we'll as the little red country school
houses.
The manual training work Of the
boys this year will be of the most
practical nature-the filling of q gov
eminent request for splints, Crutches,
peg legs, beside tables, surgical and
medical cases, and various kinds Of
chests. The first allotment of these
articles Is to be filled by November
Is, said Miss Harrison.
The little girls will continue with
their Red Cross sewing very much
along the same line as last year. ex-
cept that now they will do no Red
Cross work only on definite allot-
headquarters.
Friday afternoons will probably be
devoted to the sewing in the rural
SCHOOLS suggested Miss HarriGon, out
in the cities there will be no regular
Red Cross periods; intensive efforts
will be made to fill the allotments
when they come.
Canteen work will be added to the
Juniors activities this year, said Miss
Harrison. The boys and girls will be
given a chance to cooperate with
the Red Cross chapters in their cam
teen work by furnishing supplies.
There is more and more work for
the children to do Miss Harrison
added. THE time Is coming when re-
construction will bring with 1t big
opportunities for junior work.
Throughout it all, we aim to stress
the Red Cross ideals among the chill
