Privileged 10 HELD.

AS the young men of the Ma
ton 90 forward in increasing
numbers to add to its physical
strength on the battlefields Of
France. there must be more and
more dependence placed upon the
youth of the land for the per-
formance Of our home duties.
And so, the great departments
and bureaus of our Government
are becoming accustomed to call
upon the pupils Of our public
schools for certain kinds of work ;
work that is of highest import
ance as part of our war effort;
and to the credit of our patriotic
b)ys and girls, it may be fairly
said that the tasks SO assigned
have always been thoroughly and
acceptably accomplished.
Mr.. Hoover, whose previous ex-
perience with the boys and girls
Of America, in cooperation with
the Food Administration, has
been most gratifying, now re-
quires a further service at their
hands. He is under the necessi-
ty of providing a sure and de-
pendable supply of beef and pork
products for our soldiers in France
and for those brave men by whose
side they are fighting. To help
him accomplish this he desires to
have an absolutely accurate count
of all the cattle and hogs in Penn
sylvania.
The Department Of Agriculture
makes a splendid estimate of our
live stock population which serves
the general purpose of the Gov
ernment, but in this instance Mr..
Hoover needs and must have a
complete record Of every COW and
calf and every hog and pig in the
State.
He believes that with the fine
organization of our Pennsylvania

could not. Germany had made gains
in Russia, in Rumania, in Serbia, and
in Italy. She had overrun Belgium
and a portion Of France. She cockily
stood up and said to. the Allies: "See
what we have done. Will you now
acknowledge yourselves licked.?" The
Allies couldn't see it that way. They

The Allies we're growing stronger
every day in men AMI supplies. Amer
leans are coming in by the thousands
daily. The British army had not
reached it's zenith in man power. Ger
many knows all this and feared to
wait. The recent offensive was the
result. Germany must win now or
she will never be able to do SO. The
Russian situation is anything but
comforting to her. Conditions there
are so uncertain that any day she
may have to remove troops from the
western front to cope with the situa-
ton
Germany has risked all on this one
throw Of the dice. The whole world
will watch the events Of the next few
days, which will tell the tale.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-04-04
THE WAR SITUATION.

The great German offensive has
been checked temporarily and today
there is not great deal Of activity
along the western front. There are
undoubtedly minor engagements, air.
plane battles, airplane bombing, raids
and furious attacks here and there at
some points along the 300 mile front,
but the great offensive has ceased for
the time being.
The Germans have not quit, you
may depend upon that. They still
hold practically all Of the ground they
gained in the thirteen day battle, the
greatest conflict the world has ever
seen, being driven out Of a few places
they had won. Numerous reports
have been received that the Huns are
massing their forces for another great
attack against the Allied line and it is
expected that the greatest force will
fall at the juncture Of the British and
French lines. There is n reason for
this. The Germans are not after the
new territory so much as they are to
cut off the British army from the
French. If they become successful in
their attempt, which will undoubtedly
be made within few days, military
critics believe that they might have
chance to defeat the French army,
take Paris, and then turn their atten-
ton to annihilating the British army
and the American army already in the
field. The critical moment of the con-
flict Is near at hand. The British
have done wonders in holding back the
German hordes who were massed
against their lines three or four to
one. While they retreated along
fifty or sixty mile front, to about forty
miles at the furthercst point, they
made an orderly retreat, inflicting
great punishment as they did so. 1t
is estimated that the Germans suffer
ed losses aggregating nearly half
million during the thirteen day bat
tie. A neutral report from Rome
Wednesday gives the estimated losses
to the Germans at $4,000. The Brit
ish losses were a great deal less.
The Germans are now engaged IN
bringing up their heavy guns over the
battle Scared ground which they have
captured, when it is expected that
they will start in with another massed
attack, as great if possible as the
first one.
What are the Allies doing in the
meantime, is the question that we in
America are asking each other?
Washington admits that it is puzzled
on account of the delay in our counter
attack.
The supreme command is now in
the hands of General Foch, the great
French general who saved the day for
the French at the Marine in 1914. Gen
eral Haig, General Pershing and the
French forces are ally under his mas
ter hand. This is what the Allies
should have done long ago. We need
central head over the Allied forces.
Germany has been able to make her
gains only thru plan Of centraliza-
ton, all army units working together
like cogs in their great war machine.
General Focn is considered the great
est strategist in Europe. He is TN
doubtedly working out some plan to
not only checkmate the Germans but
to make their recent advantage fail
ure rather than a victory.
Germany knows that she must win
now or never. The Allies could afford
