TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE rs. 1918.
SHYING AT THE LEAGUE

Grand Forks county candidates who were nomin-
ated under local Nonpartisan league auspices have evi-
IDENTIFY concluded that the league is not the tower of
strength that they expected it to be, and in their appeal
for votes made in a circular letter which is now being
circulated, they use a letterhead Of the Farmers and
LAbornen Organization,' whatever that is.
These men became candidates for county offices with
the understanding and expectation that they were to re-
ceive the leagues support. Their campaign has been
carried out on that basis. But at the last moment, when
league meetings have been cancelled and league speak
ers withdrawn from the state. they have undertaken. in
this letter, to remove the impression that they are
league members or supporters, and that they are sup
ported by the league.
OF course there is no law against any man being a
candidate for any Office that he desires. There is no law
against his seeking support from any group Of people.
But 1t would have looked a little better If these candi-
dates, after having started out as they did, had stuck
to their guns until the votes were counted. 1t would be
interesting. too, to learn what the sentiment of the rank
and file of the league membership will be when it is
learned that they have been thus abandoned and prac-
tically repudiated at the last moment.

IMPORTANT DEBATE
OPENED In HOUSE
OF COMMONS TODAY

London. June 25.-An important
debate was opened in the house of
commons today by Sir Edward Car
son, the Ulster leader. who, in ac-
cordance with previous ARRANGEMENT,
raised the whole question of the GOV
srnment's policy In Ireland with spe-
cial reference to the recent procla-
nation OF the lord lieutenant and the
recruiting movement.
The occasion had been awaited with
much interest. as it was known Ed
ward Short would make his first
speech as first secretary for Ireland,
while it was also expected generally
that Premier Lloyd George would
have an important declaration re-
garding home rule and CONSUMPTION,
Anticipation hat the Irish national
lists would avail themselves Of the oc-
casion and return to Westminster
after an absence of several weeks was
Q fulfilled and the debate lacked
some interest on that account.

THE secret caucus of the organi-
cation is to infiict' upon the United

and mendacious as that Of the
Bolsheviki of Russia" he said.
MI. Nicholas was the county attor-
ney who brought about the conviction
Of Joseph Gilbert for disloyal speech

is an exceptionally forceful speaker,
and has done more to keep the loyal
primary election than any other ma
In his locality. During his two.hours
speech tonight the 800 people who
packed the hall appiauded him con-
6tantly.. They ware with him at the
start, and at tho and of hts talk It is

(By Peter Myverold.)

Winnipeg, June 22.-Winnipeg

Eleven hundred of Uncle SANS

ITALY N BACK

The success OF the italians in smashing to little bits
the great Austrian offensive which was recently launch.
ing character.
In the first place, the direct military Importance Of
the series Of battles is very great. Had the Austrtans
succeeded in their attempt to carry their invasion far into
Italian territory, and in demoralizing the Italian defense.
hundreds Of Thousands Of their soldiers would imnedi-
ately have been released for service on tho French front
to act there as an offset to the stream Of Americans now
pouring IN to take their places at the front. Or, If the
developments had made that course preferable. the Aus
TRAN armies. after defeating the Italians, could have
menaced France with an invasion from the south, and
thereby made necessary a division of the Allied forces
and 4 weakening of the Allied lines whore strens4h n.
of the utmost importance. Tho Austrian defeat which
at this time has the appearance of a rout, dtsposes of all
that. The Austrians will have work Of their own 70 look
after. and will be too busy to send men anywhere to the
aid Of their Allies. -.
In the second place. the Austrtans have been denied
the success which is just now so urgently needed To hold
up the tagging spirits Of their people. and to check the
demonstrations against the government which are as
Stunning threatening proportions. II the Austrian often
sive had succeeded the hungry people throughout the
empire might have been persuaded that relief from their
sufferings was in sight. The defeat will accentuate the
papss which ae now being fslt.
Not the least important Of the results Of the fight
ing will BE- the STRENGTHENING Of tho spirit Of the Italian
people, the raising Of the morale Of the Italian army,
and the rehabilitation Of italy in tho esteem Of the peo-
pie Of all Of the Allied nations. Since the disaster Of last
October Italy has. in a way. been under a cloud. The
treason OF a few, which was largely responsible for the
hurting back Of the Italians lfom the Ison1o. has been
more or less generally charged up against the Italian
people and the Italian armies a. . whole. That estimate
is wrong. but the feeling has existed, and the conscious
ness that it did exist must have been CALLING TO Itslian
pride. In the recent fighting along the Piave tho Italian
armies have redeemed themselves, and they have done IL
sioriously. The manner in which the Italians haYe held
the enemy back all through the winter. and tho reorgan-
ization Of their shattered forces after a crushing defeat
until they have been able to administer such punishment
as they have Just inflicted on the enemy, speaks volumes
for both the ability Of the commanders, the resolution Of
the soldiers. and the spirit os tho whole population.
