Creel addressed the opening session
lecturers here. He declared that criti-

ment was bipartisan, concerned not
SO much with winning the war as win
ming another kind of campaign at a
later date.
Answering critics of the ordnance de-
partment, Creel said the United States
had produced 100000 of the best rifles
in the world in a year and had equipped
factories to produce the famous 75s.

Paris. April s.--shortly following the
action of President Poincore in refusing
clemency to Bolo Pasha, convicted Of
treason in acting as the agent of Ger
man propaganda In France, which
caused the expectation that his execu-
ton would not be long delayed, it was
announced today that the military
judicial authorities had granted Bolo
3a reprieve. Their action was based upon
the representation OF his attorney,
Albert Sales, that the convicted man
had revelations to make to the

RETAIL MERCHANTS OF

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 6.--N. S.
Tyler. secretary, and other officers as
ISOLATED with him, have completed ths
work of making arrangements for the
21st annual convention Of the Retail
Merchants association of South Da-
kota, which will be held at Pierre on
May 81, % and %. 1t is believed the
attendance at the convention will be-
the greatest in the history Of the asso
citation. Merchants in all sections OF
the state have notified Secretary Tyler
that they will be present. The. large
attendance will in measure be due tn
the fact that in these war times there
are numerous problems confronting
the merchants which can only be
solved by united action and by hear to
heart talks between them, such as will
be afforded by the annual convention.
Addresses will be made by leading.
mercantile men of South Dakota and
other states.

Creel said.
He concluded with the statement that
American would spend her last dollar
and hfe." if necessary. to win a de-
c1sive peace, no matter what action
other nations might take.
The Liberty motor, Creel said, has
proved itself 100 per cent perfect, and
within one week it's critics will have
to admit it,
Creel referred to the aviation con-
struction report, which is expected to
be made public this week, and which,
it is said. will be source of encour-
agement to those skeptical about our
aviation program.
The lecturers are gathered here to be
addressed by foremost Americans pre-
paratory to touring the country to
talk the Germans into defeat and the
pro- Germans out of America.

AMERICANS MAKE
 SUCCESSFUL RAID
U. s. SOLDIERS MAKE SURPRISE ATTACK ON THE GERMAN
 TRENCHES.

New York - The American troops holding a portion of the line of battle northwest of Foul apparently are making raids a part of their daily routine. Following their exploit when they raided German front lines for 300 yards unaided by the French, as had been customary, they set out again and made a successful surprise attack on trenches south of Riche- cour, which is northeast of Xivray, where some of the hardest fighting in which they have been engaged has taken place.
 All along the western front inten- sive artillery duels and raiding ope- rations are continuing on isolated sectors. The Australians again have raided German trenches northeast of Messines, killing several Germans and taking prisoners. In Lorraine the French near Moncel repulsed strong l German attack, inficting heavy losses and also taking prisoners. In addition to a continuation of the ar tillery duels along the Italian front, there is considerable aerial activity daily. In fights in the air the Ital- ians brought down five hostile planes.
 The British troops in Palestine are giving the Turks no rest. Again northwest of Jerusalem. Heavy losses were inflicted on the Turks and several machine guns captured.
 Air raid over Paris was the most disastrous in point of casualties the Germans have carried out there. Thir- ty-four persons were killed and 79 n- jured by bombs in Paris and it's sub urbs and 66 other persons were sui located in the metropolitan railway tube, where they had fled. About 50 machines carried out the attack and four were brought down by the French. Berlin says the raid was made as a repri5al for the bombing of Stuttgart and other German towns
 German aircraft attacked the York shire coast of England and British aviators dropped a ton of bombs on the town of Coblenz in Prussia.
 The situation in Siberia apparently is daily growing more serious. The l Japanese government has reached no decision concerning whether Japan ese troops are to be sent to Siberia, according to Premier Terauchi.
 1 Whether the revolutionists will | follow Semenoff into Chinese terri ! tory is not known, but warning has been issued to them by the Chinese commander at Harbin that any inva- sion of Chinese territory will be regarded as an act of war.
