THE MACEDONIAN OFFENSIVE.

The opening of the offensive in Macedonia by the French and Serb ians indicates that General Foch does not intend to give the enemy any rest. Where for any reason it becomes Eecessary to slow down operations at any particular point he makes it evi- dent that he is ready to strike else where so that it will be impossible for the enemy to shift it's troops about for the strengthening of weak points without seriously endangering the front somewhere else.
 Already it appears that the gains made in northern Greece are of no slight importance. Three points of much strategic value have been taken in the initial assault wi1b thousands of prisoners and the indications are that the Bulgarians are likely to be pushed back for some distance where it was believed by them that they were so strongly fortified that they could not be moved.
 For a long time this theater of the war has been especially quiet There have been artillery duels, airplane at lacks and small infantry operation! but the impression has been gained that the allies were satisfied to ho,t their line without attempting to ad vance. All the time they have beer preparing and in addition to thu forces employed in this latest often sive there is a steadily growing Greel army eager to regain lost territor, from the Bulgars and with the men ace looming up bigger it is certainl. to have its effect upon Bulgaria an, prevent it from sending any assist ance to it's allies to the north, whil the demonstration of allied strengt Is bound to have it's good effec wherever displayed.

The tall young man was just ready to depart when he became aware that the girl with the curly hair and dis tracing dimpie was trying to say something

THE ONLY ANSWER.

Although it was not known just what sort of an appeal would be made in behalf of peace by the cen tral powers, there was advance infor- nation enough to make it evident that some move was being contemplated and the allied nations were therefore adequately prepared when Austria Hungary asked for a gathering of belligerent representatives to discuss misunderstanding and discuss them secretly.
 As if with one voice the allied na- tions have declined Austria's proposi- ton and the whole explanation of the decllnation is deftly summed up in the statement of President Wilson when he said that this country "has re- reatedly and with entire candor stated the terms upon which the United States would consider peace, and car and will entertain no proposal for g conference upon a matter concerning which it has made its position and purpose so plain"
 That is the very reply that was ex. pected. There can be no beatine about the bush. The allied nation. have announced their aims and these are not to be sidetracked by a lot or talk which would not be binding anC which would be bound to start an un. dercurrent of pacif1sm in behalf O just such a peace as Germany is de sirct1s of negotiating. a peace whicl would show Germany and it's vassal to be the victors. If Austria or Ger many are ready to meel the allies terms well and good. bur until the, are the war must go on and iron the standpoint of the allies it will b. continued with increased fury. Nov is the time to send home to thos governments that their opponents ar constantly getting stronger and no weaker.

AGAINST THEMSELVES AND MA.
 TION-

One of the hardest things to inn press upon the minds of certain bod ies of organized labor these days is the fact that their demands for in creased pay or different working con- ditions can be adjusted. if there is 8 willingness to have it done in ac- cordance with the facts, without in- terruption of production and without Iesorting to strike
 The need of such action ought to be perfectly apparent if consideration was given to anything but selfish attitude. They must know that it is important to keep the industries of this country going if the soldiers and sailors are to be properly supported right here at home. And yet in spite of such a well known situation it is too often the case that strikes are in dulged in without the least justifi- cation.
 The latest instance is the case of the hard coal miners who in conform ity with action at a mass meeting lad down their tools and stopped work They want higher wages but an agency HdS beeH plONldeV ny lIiS SON er1ment in the war labor board for dealing with just such cases. It can not help being recognized therefore that Fuel Administrator Garfield takes. the only possible stand when he declares that they must return tc their work before their demands gei any consideration. A proper read justment can be made while they work and whatever is right in tht way of new wage scale can be made to operate from the time the demand is made They certainly are no helping their cause any by holding up coal production and it is most un- fortunate that greater recognition i: not given to this very fact. The! are acting not only against their owT interests but the welfare of the na tion

NEED BETTER COOPERATION.

It is not surprising in the least that intention is being called to the dis erepancy which is to be found be- tween the statement which is put for ward by Fuel Administrator Garfield to the effect that there is nothing the matter with the production of coal but it is impossible to supply the country as rapidly as desired because of the lack of cars with which to transport 1t, and that of Director General McAdoo of the railroads who says that there are enough coal cars for all purposes and that they are not being filled as rapidly as they are being provided.
 This has been one of the features connected with the coal problem which the people of the country have never been able to understand. In connection with the shortage labor trouble, car shortage and insufficient

THE DOG MENACE.

Tn connection with the effort which has been made to increase the sheep
 industry in this state and the atten- tion which is always called to the dog menace when such a stimulation is undertaken, it is interesting to note that during the past year there was disbursed by the state be- cause of dog damage the sum of ST., 17o29 That means that in addition to the loss caused by dogs which run in addition to the dogs which run about the country causing destruc- tion to valuable property. and the re- sultant effect which it has had upon the raising of sheep, for there are farmers who because of tte experi- ence which they and their neighhors lave had are determined that they will not engage in the raising of sheep as long as dogs are given the liberty which they at present enjoy, it has cost many thousands of dollars which might better have been spent in buying sheep for the purpose of stocking farms that the wool and meat markets might be better served
 There are all kinds of dogs the same as there are all k;2ds of peo- pie. There are those which are kept where they belong but there are oth- CTS which are not and it is from that number which is disposed to rove 1 about the country, chasing and biting if not killing the sheep that the great harm comes. If men were engaged l in stealing sheep as persistently as the dogs kill them. it can be appre- cisted that indigna11:on would run sc high that an immediate stop would be put to 1t. but it iS certainly as i'm portant that as much attention 1 should be given to the elimination O. the worthless dogs. The right sor
 of encouragement will not be g1veI
 to sheep raising until the dog men ace is overcome.

STORIES OF THE WAR
He Found His Mother.

A letter received Aug. Is from Lieut.. Arthur W. Pope, Jr., of the Ninth United States infantry tells of his ex- periences in the attack of July Is near Soissons. He was reported severely wounded, and no further information could be obtained by his family until
 the receipt of this letter from Tours,
 France:
 We made our first offensive the
 other day near Soissons and went
 ahead, the French coming behind Our
 regiment went eight kilometres tabout
 five miles) the first day. I do not
 know how many after, because l was
 wounded three hours after we went
 over. We were just starting into
 sort of rsvine when 1 was hit in the tleshy part of the left shoulder by a
 machine gun or rife bullet the bullet coming out through the back. It was lucky it did not tear or fracture the shoulder. But un!uckily the bullet cut a nerve, which paralyzed my left wrist and hand and part of the forearm. 1 had to walk four miles to the first aid station, and then was in three exacua- i tion hospitals in a French hospital. and endured painful rides in ambu- l lances, finally finding myself in a hos pitel train on the way to Bordeaux. | "On reaching a little station at St ] Pierre des Corps, near Tours, where l the soldiers arrive, a Red Cross can | teen worker brought me cup of hot 1 chocolate. l asked where we were and i she said Near Tours I exclaimed: I Why, that is where my mother and sister are and asked to be left there. l So here 1 am. near where my mother 1 is working at the officers club of the 1 '. Nj. C. A, and it was a joyous re- union with my mother and my sister 1 Mildred who is working in the cac- l teen here. As I walked to the first i aid station my friends were falling l fast. and I stopped to assist them all 1 I could, covering them over. unfasten- 1 ing their collars and tunics, and do- ing what I could, but as I was bleeding heavily 1 could not do more. Poor I fellows.
 We have only to say that we be- long to the Ninth regular infantry, 1 Second division. to have anything we
 want, After our reputation in taking l VauX, July 1, when more prisoners
 and machine guns were captured than in any operation up to that time, the Fighting Ninth is right there with the goods, and we think we have the best I division over here. And we have more
 of reputation than ever, after the
 Soissons affair. The French say the American soldiers do not know the
 meaning of fear. The boys go to the attack smoking cigarettes. They are wonderful and the Boches just run
 before them
 When the bullet struck me l was } twisted directly around by the force hand dropped, but did not lose con. sciousness. do not know how soon 1 can get back to the regiment, whicf T l am anxious to- do, but The surgeons promise nothing because of the injury l to the nerves specialy-and I may have to be here two months or more.
