PEACE OUR SOLDIERS WANT

The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper published by the soldiers
of the American Expeditionary Forces
in France, says editorially about the
enemy peace offensive:
LET the weak hearted who are
dreaming of a compromise; let the
pacifsts who are talking a peace by
agreement; let the sideliners who have
had enough of war; let the secretly
inclined pro-Germans who think this
war should end without a decision -
let them one and all know once and
for all that for the American Expedi-
tionary Force there is no such word
as Peace with the Huns unbeaten.
The man who talks Of peace today,
except through victory, is a traitor"
The enemy peace offensive is liken-
ed to the action of German machine
gun crews in the Vesle fighting, when
they fought and killed Americans I'M
til they were surrounded, then shout
ed "Kamerad."
The mothers of the American SOL
diers in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage
of the ancient Spartan mother is in
the hearts of the women of America.

AUSTIN DAKOTA /
MAKES SHOWING


The Reveille man last Tuesday, by
the courtesy of Chas. F. Littrell, gen.
eral manager for the Austin Dakota
Mining company, was permitted to
visit the ground of that company and
was more than pleased with the show
ing of ore made.
In the development work, an aston
ishing amount of which has been &C.
complished, Mr.. Littrell has taken ad-
vantage of the information gained by
the old-timers in their workings.
Arriving at the 200-foot station, the
party went short distance eastward,
where the crosscut passed through a
dixie. Here the workings followed the
ide of the dixie for seven hundred feet,
A crosscut has been run through the
dixie to the west, and some distance
further on, perhaps fifty feet, another
vein known as the San Jose vein was
struck. Drifting west and south on the
San Jose vein, at a point about rs
feet from the crosscut, a raise is be-
ing made on the vein. This raise is
now up about sixty feet and the face
has running across it a streak of high
grade ore which is a sight for sore
eyes. While only about ten inches in
width, it reaches clear across the face
of the raise, and specimens of the ore
show it to be almost pure silver. Old
timers here who were shown samples
OF the rock, express the opinion that
it will run from four to five thousand
ounces to the ton. At the beginning

KILLS
YOUNG MAN

A terrible accident occurred Fri
day afternoon on the farm of John
Kretchmer, former county commits
sioner, when his son lost his life
through an eplosion. 1t appears from
the information we have received that
seq e 5u!17pIos sgM 17luqo471Y a r
oline tank with blow torch when
there was an eexplosion and young
Kretchmer was killed, being badly
blown to pieces. A dispatch to the
Fargo Courier News in this mornings
paper said that the force of the ex-
plosion blew the top of the young
mans head off, lifted the barn doors
from their hinges and blew out every
window in the house several hundred
feet distant. The Times-Record has
been unable to get any more authentic
report than this as to how it hap
pened. The accident occurred on the
farm six miles north of Oriska. The
terrible accident is hard blow to the
Kretchmer family who have the sim
cere sympathy Of their friends in the
county and in this city. The young
man who was so ruthlessly cut off
from life was a splendid young man
and the Times-Record learns that he
was soon to have married very esti-
mable young lady of this county.
We talked with N. o. Holberg, who
has charge of this case, and he says
the facts related above are substan-
TALLY true. The funeral will prob
ably be held Monday. The young
mans name was Joseph Edward
kretchmer.
