If the Troops That Took Bagdad and jerusalem Had Been

Declares General Cherfls

tory that will advance our prestige on
the borders Of Europe, but, far from
bringing victory nearer, it is turning
our back to victory.
WAR is governed by few very sim
pie principles. Directness of thought
is the touchstonc Of intellectual value
Mediocre minds whirl with confused
and ncoherent ideas. Genius is only
the faculty OF concentration.
81 have been ,rereading the orders
given in September, 1914, by General
Sarrail for following up the victory Of
! the Marine. He sought some chimcrica
advantage toward Damvillers and Ro-
magnc-s ous-les- Goth with the 9th
Corys and toward Etain with the dvi-
sions of Paul Durand His orders dis
persed his forces and resulted in con-
fusion and incohcrence. They blinded
his armies to the real danger, the sor-
tie from Metz September IA, and the
end was that the Germans took st. Mi
hicl and reached the Meusc.
"Napolcon's conception of war was
very simple. The conception of great
genera like Foch is extremely simple.
1t consists of few main PRINCIPLES
which govern all. Among these arc
unity of action and the concentration
for forces. Every operation that obeys

principles are pitiless, and they re-

elsewhere, whether it be through OBJ

Palestine Campaign "Mistake"

campaigns in Palestine and Mesopo.

useless ends the forces that should

pal front they committed a heavy
fault. The second expedition against

Cut Distribution Cost
British Manufacturer Expert
ment of Direct Sale to Retailer

There is food for thought in the an
nouncement that Martins, of woollen
and worsted manufacturers in Hud
dcrsiield, one OF the foremost in Creat
Britain. intend to sell fine cloth direct
IRON the mills to merchant tailors and
retailers. The avowed intention is to
cut out the intermediate profits with
out interfering with the fundamentals
of the trade.
hls is one of the war results in Eng
iand. and 1t touches upon principle
which will probably be developed d
largely here and abroad before the war
ends We have the word of Secretary
kedhcld for it that our distribution in
TINS country is most wasteful process,
out up to date government zeal seems
TO have been confined largely to point
ing out the fault without correcting il
even IN government enterprises
VI course, 1t is an old cry that there
are too many hands intervening be-
tween producer and consumer. but the
actual facts arc being brought home
now as never before. The line of arcu.
ment seems to be something like this:
1t costs 81 TO lay down yard of cloth
III the middleman's hands under norma
conditions. and he gets so cents when
he sells ii TO the retailer or tailor
The price Of wool has risen, so that it
now costs $l.50 to lay down that cloth.
Let us sell direct to the retailer at
Sl.oO; he is no worse of than before we
are covered
In other words. the British develop-
ment Is a sample of war economy which
is probably sound in its fundamentals.
1t Is apparently Of piece, economi
cally considered, with the campaign
now being made to bring BUYERS of
Philadelphia goods to Phladelphia. and
80 save the cost of doing business
through New York middlemen. Real
war economy does not and should not
mean the elimination of any business
winch serves "A real purpose. but il,
oocs and should mean cutting out ex-
pcnslYc Ways OF conducting business.

Non-Partisan League
Especial Correspondence

Bismarck, N. d.. Jan. 80. Following
the formation Of the Partisan
League in the Northwest, the farmers
Of North Dakota are planning to elimi-
nate the middlcman and take into their
own hands the retailing Of the ncces-
that end in view has already passed the
initial stage and it is predicted conf
IDENTIFY that before April it will be il,
full swing.
A chain Of books is also to be put
into operation and through them it is
hoped to cut the prevailing high rates
of interest on loans and provide the
"chcap money" for which there has
been long and persistent cry.
In carrying out the chain store idea
ono was put in operation yesterday at
Devils Lake. Two were already in full
blast at Minot and the other at
kcnmarc. Both of the latter are said
thus far to have passed expectations in
the amount Of business transacted.
Just what the complete plans arc it
is difficult TO ascertain at this time, AS
the incorporators arc not inclined to
iidcncc.
'Thc matter is not one that concerns
the people, said II. J.. Elliott, Of Fargo,
when questioned to day Mr. Elliott is
general manager of the proposed chair:
of tsores.
Follows Farmers League
SO afr as the scheme has developed.
it follows in principal the Farmers
Political League. A membership Of 200
is required before Il store is opened
and purchases Of goods to the amount
Of 500 each is apportioncd among the
members. Although the membership
is arbitrarily placed at 200, all the
stores opened thus far have more than
800 each, and in some instances thers
arc long lists Of waiting applicants.
Before opening for business at any
ono store it is understood that each
member must pay in the sum Of Sl00
and $4,000 of tho money thus sub
scribcd goes to fitting up and stocking
thc store. The surplus is to be used
to castablish buying agencies. or for
such other purposes as may develop as
necessary as time goes on. 1t may also
he used "for the aid of farmers organ
izations, such as relate to the economic
educational or political interests of the
farmers"
Mr.. Elliott. in discussing the league
and it's objects, said to-day:
1--WE had expected to have twelve
stores in operation by April /. but be-
cause of the war we may not be able to
do so. We may have sevcnty!ivc stores
inside of a year, and we also expect to
include cooperative stores already oper-
atins in North Dakota. SO far we have
not operated outside Of North Dakota
"As to who arc officers, that is mat
ter we arc not making public just now
We are organizing the farmers into
these tsorcs. They arc being told of
the whole programme, but that is a
matter entirely for them We are not
making our business affairs public
TO Extend the Plan
eve expect to extend the plan to
union men in the cities. They will be
required TO pay $120 each, which is
abotu equal to what the farmers have

Varying Views of the
Value Of Whiskey

They make no bones in England
about looking after whiskcy and hay
ing sufficient supply Of it. A member
Of the House OF Commons asked the
question the other day whether there
vas any restriction against the export
Of matches, paper and whiskey, and, in
view Of the shortage of these articles,
would the Board of Trade consider the
desirability Of prohibiting their export
altogether?" TO which Sir A. Stanley
in regard to whiskcy that its export
chad been prohibited to all neutral
countries" and that he would "consut
the Food Controller as to the advisable
ity Of extending the scope Of that pro
hibition." Consulting the Food Con-
trolcr about the supply of whiskcy
looks as if whiskcy was estimated in
England to be a food.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 14.--Beer was sub

annual dinner which the Mayor of
Southport gives to the aged poor of

The Mayor apologized for his failure

Two pounds of sugar a month-haif . pound week-that is the sugar ra- tion the U. s. Food Administration has asked every American to observe until January 1, 1919, In order to make sure there shall be enough for our Army and Navy, for the Allied armies and for the civilians of those nations.
 By New Years the world sugar sit uation will be relieved somewhat by the new crop. Cuban sugar of this years crop will be arriving in this country.
 Every available sugar source will be drawn on by the Fool Administration during the next winter months to main- tain sufficient stocks here to keep up our national sugar supply. During Oc- tober the first American beet sugar will arrive in the markets. By the middle of November some of our Lou isiana cane crop will be available All of this sugar and more may be needed to keep this nation supplied on re- duced ration and to safeguard the All lied sugar ration from still further

reduction. In Europe the present ra- tion is already reduced to minimum.
 Our Situation.
 The situation which the United States faces in it's efforts to maintain fair distribution of sugar to the Al. lied world is as follows:
 Sugar supplies throughout the coun. try, in homes, stores, factories and bakeries are at low ebb. We must make increased sugar shipments to the Allies.
 Production of American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap. pointing.
 Porto Rico crops have been cur. tailed.
 Immense sugar stocks In Java can not be reached on account of the ship ping shortage; ships are needed for troop movements and munitions.
 Army and Navy sugar requirements have increased as well as those from the Allies.
 Most industries using sugar have had their allotment reduced by one-half some will receive no sugar. Households should make every ef- fort to preserve the fruit crop without sugar, or with small amounts of sugar. Later, when the sugar supply Is larg- CT, the canned fruit may be sweetened as 1t is used.

DOCTOR GIVES MAN YIN HEPATICA
 AS LAST RESORT
Mule Had Run Away With Law renee County Farmer Com plicatlons Arose That Baf- fled All Remedies Till Doc tor Gave Win Hepatica

w. w. Kelley, aged 58, well-known farmer, of Route No. 8, Leona, Tenn, and former merchant, who was so bad ly hurt several years ago by mule running away with him, and for long while in such a serious condition as a result of his injuries, has recovered and is at his work again.
 MT. Kelley says: If anybody ever was iD terrible condition, was, until my doctor discovered the right medi cine for me. l had to quit farming and go into the merchandising business, but my injuries wore such that broke down in my kidneys and suffered great ly from rheumatism. I got so run down that l could not sleep. Had to get up dozen times a night On ac- count of my kidneys. I tried all sorts of tonics and remedies without any help at all. Had to quit business
 "One day my doctor gave me a sam pie bottle of Yin Hepatica and told me to try that. And I did. It relieved me so much that l had my wife to take some of it, too, and I can safely say that anybody who is in a rundown con dition can not miss it if they take Yin Hepatica. It is certainly wonderful medicine, just as my doctor said it was"
 This is just the way thousands and thousands talk about Yin Hepatica, because it is Natures own remedy for kidney, liver stomach and bowel trou bles; rheumatism, impure blood, nerv ousness, sleeplessness, rundown, weak condition, etc. It is not patent nos trum, nor a king cure-all, but com- hination of eight of the finest herbal remedies known to medical science.
