 The Germans. disregarding the mili- tary considerations which counselled frank acceptance of defeat and rapid retreat many days ago in order to spare their men for their new attempt, have been obliged to accept the in evitable and are falling back, probably to the Vesle river.

May End This Manth

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The wording of the National league resolution is such that the pennant season may be ended considerably in advance of Sep tember in case it is necessary to complete the world series by the end of the present month.
 Reports from American league off cials indicate that this is the desire of the majority of the clubowners. The post-season championship series may be staged on or about August 20.
 Should both leagues agree to begin the series on August 20 it is probable the regular pennant season will be terminated on Saturday, August 17.

State Board Of Equalization Booted
Assessed Valuasion ef Sioux Co..
Railroads Raised

The State Board Of Equalization
has increased the assessed valuation
of the railroads within the state 10

will make an increase in the assess.
able property Of about $50, 600.
No change was made by the state
board in the farm land valuation in
for Sioux county. Other changes
in the real estate schedule were
made as follows:
Improvements on farms-Decrea-
Sc 40 per cent.

: In the personal property sched-
ule the the following changes were

September 3rd, Sioux county was
four years old. The county was
created by proclamation issued by
Governor Hanna on September 3,
1914, and Fort Yates named the
county seat.
In the four years past Sioux
county has made substantial growth
and marvellous development. The
governor in creating the county out
of the last unorganized territory in
the state was largely influenced by
the fact the citizens of the west end
of the county-homesteaders who
had settled on that part of the re-
servation opened in 1910, were
without schools for their children.
Without county organization school
districts could not be- organized or
taxes levied for the maintainence of
schools.
A delegation went to Bismarck
to lay the situation before Governor
Hanna, and the organization of
Sioux county speedily followed.
Since then there has been five
school districts organized in the
county. There are now over 80
school houses in which school is be-
ing regularly held.
The population af the county has
increased from 2,135 to $500, as
estimated by the Provost Marshal
General, using the registration f.
cures as basis. '".-.

COMPLETE END OF
STRIKE ASSURED

WASHINGTON. Feb 10. With
striking carpenters in all affected dis
tricts returning to work today and
William l.. Hutcheson, president Of the
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and join
ers, due here to take up the situation
with government officials, complete
settlement of the recent trouble in
eastern shipyards seemed assured.
In effect, President Wilson's inter
vention has terminated the eastern
shipyard strike. Although Hutcheson
heretofore has declined to leave the
settlement of the carpenters demands
to the Wage Adjustmnt Board, offic-
ials are confident after the Presidents
telegram of Sunday that the union
leader is willing to renew relations
with the board.
William Blackman. director of labor
for the emergency fleet corporation.
in a statement last night pointed out
that shipyard strikes threaten the life
of organized labor. An increase in the
shortage of ships, he said, eventually
will force the closing munitions plants.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Surgeor
General Gorgas today started an ac

by inviting the assistance Of every
citizen in the effort to trace every
sensational story regarding the health
or condition Of living Of soldiers. A
report that sixteen soldiers had froz
en- to death at Camp LicClellan, Annis
ton, Ala, is the latest to come to the
attention OF the surgeon-general. This
story has since been traced to three
soldiers who have been on leave from
Camp Mcclellan.
Major Gen Charles G. Morton, com
manding the blue and Gray division
made the following comment upon the
case:
Men who spread such rumors ac-
complish a great deal of harm. They
cause mothers and fathers unneces-
sary apprehension as to the treatment
being accorded their sons in the mill
tary service. I regard it as very un-
fortunate that the names, company
and regiment of these men were not
placed on record so that they might be
properly dealt with. There is no suf-
fering here due to cold. lack of shelter,
lack of food or lack of anything else
which contributes to physical com
