1s TT THE BIG OFFENsIvEG

When General Peyton c. March an
nominees that the "objective" of each army
in the Marne salient now is the destruction
of the opposing army, the statement com
nands the attention it would not deserve
if made by one Of the numerous war CRU
les or correspondents.
General March ranks with General
Pershing and is subordinate only to Secre-
tary Baker and President Wilson IN the
American army. He therefore doesn t
theorize; he knows.
He told newspaper correspondents yes
tsrday that it was no longer probable that
any large part Of the German army could
he cut off in the Marine salient, owing to
the immense reserves thrown in by the
Germans to protect their flanks, and that
the battle had now become life and death
struggle Of determination.
When it is known that the Germans
probably have million men in this sector,
and that General Foch is therefore aiming
to wipe out or capture third Of the en-
tire German army, the statement seems
hardly credible for by postponing the
great offensive at least 100000 American
troops now in France would become avail
able during the next two or three months.
On the other hand these forces can even
now be counted as reserves for they can
be called upon to replace troops now in the
battle line.
But, while the conclusion that this is the
great offensive can be drawn from the
statement Of General March, it may be
nisinterpreting what he said. Even if this
has developed into mere battle Of exter-
nination, it would be possible for either
side to break off the engagement. The
Germans could do so by a rapid withdrawal
to the Vesle or the Aisne river, where they
would have a breathing space until a new
attack was organized. Or the Allies might
decide to discontinue temporarily their Of
fensive, if the results did not justify their
losses.
The safest construction to place upon
General March s statement, is that for the
present the immediate detectives are OBJ
scure and the battle is simply attrition on a
greatly accelerated scale. Whether or not
it will develop into the crucial battle Of
the war, the next few weeks will decide.

Bagdad Rowboats Like Bowls

Eleanor Franklin Eagan in The Saturday Even
ing Post.
The goufas of the Tigris are wonderful And
I suppose they should remind Of something
besides the three wise men Of Gotham who went
to sea in tub" But nobody else who has writ
ten about them has ever thought OF anything
else in connection with them, 80 why should
bother. That is exactly what they remind one Of.
They are perfectly round reed baskets, pitched
within and without with pitch" They have
curved-in brims and they look for all the world
about.
They are the ony kind of row boat the Bagdad
people seem to know anything about, and the
river at times is literally crowded with them
They roll round among the larger and more pos
sible looking craft like a thousand huge in
verted tar bubbles; and the way they are laden
is marvel and a mystery. r.-.,.
Many Of them ply back and forth as ferry
boats, and it Is not at all unusual to see one Of
them carrying two donkeys, half a dozen sheep
dozen people and somebody's entire stock Of
earthly belongings in bundles and bales. They
are most pleasing to the eyes when they are
carrying reeds from the marshes up river. The
reeds are cut with their feathery blooms still on
and are packed in a goufa in upright sheaves
the effect being a gigantic imitation OF a Scotch
thistle, out of the top Of which, as often as not
protrude the turbaned head and brightly hooded
shoulders of Arab passenger. The men who
propel the amazing craft squeeze themselves in
under it's curving brim and WELD long paddles
and poles with a skill that nothing could sur
pass.

HER TROUBLES JUST BEGINNING.

The murder of the German commander
in the Ukraine is encouraging, not because
it involves the death of one more or less
important individual, but because it shows
{ that the spirit of the Ukraine is not broken
and that the Russian has not forgotten the
use Of his favorite weapon-the bomb.
Nihilists found way to terrorize the
most despotic government in the world,
and hundreds Of thousands Of the Gar s
secret police and all the terrors of Siberia
only added fuel to the flames.
An army Of $4,000 peasants is reported
! to be marching against the Germans in the
Ukraine. They can be met with German
machine guns, but an army Of 1000 old
time NihiliBts wouldn It fight, according to
! the German rules of battle.
! Germany's troubles in Russia didn't
end with the Brest-Litovsk treaty. They
just began. An ambassador and the com
manding general within three weeks make
a fairly creditable record.

Stage Realism Is Doomed

From The Vilager (Katonah), N. Y.
The fact which heartens the lover of the thea
ter most is the collapse Of realism. How long
this particular i'll would have ravaged our powers
had our peace and material comfort proceeded
uninterrupted, one may not say; 1t would seem
that the caught at the turning point, but
it may be we should have gone tunneing still
further into the darkness before sheer lack OF
air had forced us up into the starlight.
At all events, the education in German philos-
ophy and German taste which the war has
craInmed down the throats Of all Of u.s. has
caused the name of realism to smell very badly;
IL there is any thing we have all learned out
Of this conflict it is that the things which matter
most are the things which no eye can see and no
tongue can tell, which no realism" can touch
even at the fringes. Men and women who have
come through this recognition will not be con-
tent with Belascoism either in play producing or
in play writing; they cannot be satisfied with the
Ibsenism which solemnly spears an hypocrisy
and procaiLns it is thereby presenting reality"
Undoubtedly the comedy of manners, the ro-
mantle play, the tragedy, the historical drama

free to go back to its own source OF inspiration

coming half century. Men who have endured
wounds and filth and intolerable losses viii not
care to see these represented in the realistic"
manner; st is not because these things ARE pain
Lul that they will not want to be reminded Of
them, but because there are other and higher

opinion that the historical play which has been

closest to the heart Of the state at pres
ent.
The Sunset division, which includes the
North Dakota guard officers and "non-
CONS, - is now in the fighting line and may
be actively in the battle at any moment.
Because Of the transfer Of the men to regu-
lar army units, it is impossible to tell what
percentage of them are in the big battle.
General March announced recently that
there were four regular army divisions and
three divisions Of the National Guard par
ticipating in the Marine battle. The regu-
lar army men included the First, Second,
Third and Fourth divisions. The guards
men included the 26th division, composed
Of New England men, the 28th, composed
of Pennsylvania men; and the And or
famous Rainbow division, including men
Of dozen or more states.
But in addition to these seven divisions,
General March announced that another
regular army division, the Fifth, six guard
divisions and four national army divisions
were in the battle line and ready for ac-
ton when called upon. The six guard
divisions are: The 9th or New York di-
vision; the 30th consisting of southern
troops; the 32nd from Michigan and Wis
consin; the 33rd from Illinois; the 35th
from Kansas and Missouri; and the 41st or
Sunset division, including troops from
North and South Dakota, Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico and
the District Of Columbia. This division
was formerly commanded by Brigadier
General Hunter Liggett, since promoted to
be major general in command Of the First
Army corps. His successor has not been
announced.
This division includes the 147th ma
chine gun battalion, which includes parts
Of the Second North Dakota; the 164th
regiment, which includes the First North
Dakota and parts of the Second the 10th
trench mortar battery, which includes part
of the Second North Dakota; and the 10th
regiment Of engineers, which includes parts
Of the Second North Dakota regiment
There are also North Dakota guardsmen in
the 10th headquarters and military police,
the 10th ammunition train, the 10th sup
ply train, the 10th sanitary train, and the
10th engineer train, all Of which are in
cluded in the Sunset division. The situa-
ton is complicated, however, by the fact
that many Of the privates in all of these
units were transferred, leaving only the
skeletons of the organizations.
The four National Army divisions, which
will have the honor Of leading the selective
draft organizations into the fighting line,
are the 18th or Camp Upton; the 18th from
New York, New Jersey and Delaware; the
8Oth, composed Of Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania men; and the Sind from Alabama,
Georgia and Florida.

War Dignifes The Bachelor
Prestige That Ebbs With Years lie Restored b,
the Uniform.

From The Ontario Post.
THE somewhat pathetic figure OF the bachelor
is wonderfully dignified by the advent of war, y
stated the rookie placidly rocking back and forth
the porch of the hotel.
I'm a bachelor" confessed the rookie in well
satisfied tones, and at present rejoice in the
fact. War has given the unmarried man some Of
the prestige which he lacked in times Of peace.
Ordinarily the bachelor is tolerated for what
he may become rather than for what he is.
Mothers would not welcome him into society nor
girls take pleasure in his company If 1t were
thought that he would always remain bache-
lor. The hope of converting him into married
man furnishes Of the main incentives Of all
social activities.
IT intend to wed after the war, Of course" con-
tinued the rookie, for the hopes Of fond
mothers are disappointed, the bachelor becomes
more and more misft in world which prides
itself on finding an exactly shaped corner for
every one Of its inhabitants who is worth troub-
ling about.
For certain adventures the bachelor can be
depended upon for dash and enthusiasm" the
rookie affirmed but for the steady monotonous
grind Of everyday life he is inferior to the
benedict. Summed up" the rookie concluded the
argument with a flourish, civic progress relies
principally upon the whose interests carry
over into the next generation and are not con-
fined to his corporal welfare. But in the
demand Is not for men who have found their
places in the world but for those who have not.

CURING CANCER.

No form Of internal medicine will
cure a cancer; nor will any fluid IN
tected under the skin cure a cancer
These things we know absoAuetly-
and vet cancer is durable. 1t Is
largely a question Of time.
The proper treatment ts the re-
moyal Of the growth as early as pos
sible. for cancer is a local disease
when it begins and q rule spreads
through the tissues only after con-
siderable time. -.
The removal Of small cancers or OF
beginning cancers Is often an easy
matter and can be done unoer CO.
caine.
Internal cancers, Of course, can be
removed only by an extensive opera
ton but the methods now are so
successful that very large proper
ton of the cases can be saved II
operation is done early.
DESPITE these things there is q
popular impression that cancer is
incurable. DR.. Francis Carter WOOD,

operated upon at an early stage he
believes nearly our-fifths OF the
cases would remain well. When
operated upon at a late stage, only
one-fifth Of the cases are cured, that
is. show no further appearance OF the
tumor.
Radium and x-rays are very good
treatment for the small cancers
which appear on the faces Of OLD
people, and in some cases may be
very useful in helping to complete
the surgical cure by healing any
small lump which appears after OPP

Pains Around Shoulder Blades.
Miss e. r. S.; Pains in the region
of the shoulder blades may be assoc
clated with diseases Of the abdomin-
al organs, particularly with gan
stones or other affections Of the bill
iary tract. 1t is most common, per
haps, in those whose general health
is not fully up to normal and 1t is
likely that this less serious cause
is the one responsible for your
backache. Attention to the general
health and hygiene would be 1ndt-
Gated in the treatment Of this con-
dition. For its temporary relief loc-
al applications OF counter-irritants,
such as mustard paste and the Ake'
are most likely to be beneficial. The
blood pressure Of a normal adult at
least up to middle age, is considered
to be about 100 1t is much more
difficult to tell the normal pulse
rate since this varies through wide
limits, but seventy-two is probably
the best single answer that can be
given to the question. ~
