1t is obvious that every man who
succeeds in his business must know
that business thoroughly. This is
especially true in the tailoring busi-
ness, and the success which has been
attained by Mr.. Ted A. Evanson, PIG

knows the tailoring business in all
it's features; not only how to measure,
but also how to fit and finish suit
or overcoat. For the spring trade he
is showing the latest things in
weaves, colors and mixtures, and is
prepared to make up suits according
to the most extreme modes of the

So willing to shoulder q gun.
WHY didn't you wait to be drafted
Because you were too kind and
brave.
You saw your country in danger
And hastened that her you might
save.
Perhaps you think that you set no
credit
But the highest is yours 1t is true,
And the greatest honor and glory
win some day be given to you.
There is often the mistaken feeling
That the brave never need any cheer,
So tits given to hearten the weaker,
And is missed by the great volun-

But when this war is all over
And freedom is gained for us all,
There'H be a deeper true feeling

And when in the years yet to come
Your little boy sits on your knee,
And asks what you did for country

What Victory
Means TO Italy.

The Italian answer would be
somewhat as follows:
"The nation which we govern
has been recently organized as
one whole. There is considera-
BILE differentiation between the
north and the south. The vari-
GUS provinces are also differen-
tiated among themselves very
highly. Every elderly man still
living among us remembers the
time when Italy was not a ma
tion, The national tie might,
therefore, be thought weaker in
every way, and in many ways it
is weaker, than among our al
lies. ...
Further, we are not among
the original beligerents of the
war. At its outset it did not
directly menace our state, and
could not have affected the lives
of our individual citizens at all,
though we took up arms against
Austria, which holds subject GER
tain not very large numbers of
Italians and prevents the Adri-
attic from being as it should be,
an Italian sea. Yet we were slow
to declare war against Germany.
Like every other belligerent, we
had no conception on entering
the war of how prolonged a
struggle it would be or how in
tense would be the strain before
its close.
But three things, each of
great moment, will nerve our
population to the end-first, the
common pride, which even in a
newly united state will not ac-
cept defeat, and which all civil
ization feels against the barbar-
ian; next, the determination that
the invader, now holding more
Italian soil even than he did at
the inception of our war, shall
be driven out; and, lastly, the
knowledge, confused indeed in
the mass, but very clearly pres
ent in the souls of those who di-
rect, that, if that party with
which modern Italy has thrown

A SANCTUARY IN WARTIME.

One week from tomorrow, March
II, Fargo will have a GO To Church
Sunday
The purpose, of course, is to get a
maximum attendance for the day,
not only of present members, but
also and especially, of those who
have dropped their active church
membership. It is one day
revival.
THE church, like ''the press" and
''the schools, is the object of many
sweeping condemnations. 1t is blam-
ed fer everything from the war to
poverty. Some blame IT for neglect
ing social ills and sticking too close
to theology. Others blame 1t for
neglecting the old time religion" to
pursue social uplift.
Some condemn it for having too
much theology; others for having
too little.
Some condemn it for yielding to
modern tendencies to greater free
dom in social pleasures; other con-
denim it for not being broad" en-
ough.
One favorite criticism Of those who
have left the church Is that there
are so many hypocrites". This is
a subtle insinuation that there are
no hypocrites outside the church,
and that the speaker is not a
hypocrite, and therefore he must
leave the church.
But in the last analysis, the church
returns benefits in proportion to
what the individual member gives
not in money but in service. The
hypocrits win find hypocrites in the
church. The self-seeker will find
self-seekers in the church. And the
man who honestly seeks a higher
spiritual life than the one he IS lead
ing, viii find it within the church.

Rumania, the Ukraine, Poland, Cour-
land, Livonia, Esthonia. and now Fin
land. These will all be under Ger
man control, and none will be per-
mitted to become powerful. They
will be played against each other as
the Balkan states have been. Then
the allies Of Germany will be re-
warded at the expense Of Russia and
Rumania, and Germany will be free
to make her great gamble for peace
in the west, either by an offensive or
by peace propaganda.
The Great Offensive.
Meanwhile there have been numer-
Gus indications of preparations. for
the offensive in the west, but the long
heralded attack has not yet begun.
In 1915 and 1917, operations of a
major character were begun In
February, but this has been a severe
winter in France, and spring is not
80 far advanced as 1t was in those
years. Also the terrain has much to
do with the date when infantry
operations are advisable. In FLANDERS,
for example, the ground would be
much slower in drying than at
Verdun. Neither side Is willing to risk
an attack until every weather condi-
tion favOrs IL. Too much depends on
the events Of the next few weeks to
take any unnecessary chances Of
failure. The events Of the next two
months may decide the outcome Of
the war, and neither side is willing to
assume any unnecessary handicaps.
New Plan Of Warfare.
An extensive raid made by the
French troops early in the week gives
an interesting insight into how the
German trenches are being held. The
French advanced with little difficulty
to the fourth line of trenches, in their
raid. This shows that the Germans
are holding their front trenches thin
ly, concentrating their troops in the
rear OF the lines, and having great
reserves ready to throw in at any
point attacked. Trenches may be
easily taken by the enemy, but the
German losses are much lighter, and
the attackers Immediately have to
face a hurricane Of artillery fire and
then a counter attack by heavy
reserves. This is but another develop
ment OF trench warfare, and shows
how rapidly 1T changes. The develop
ment OF the barrage fire. and later
the surprise attack, made 1t neces-
sary.
American Troops.
American troops are now hghtlng
in at least three positions on the
French line, but in only one place,
east Of st. Mihiel, do they hold a sec
tor Of their own. This was eight
miles in length, but indications are.
that 1t will be rapidly heightened.
Reports during the week showed that
Americans were fighting with French
troops along the Chemin- -des-Dames,
perhaps the most important section. of
the French line.
Another British advance in Pales-
tine, a slight decrease in submarine
losses, and renewed reports of tense
feeling between Spain and Norway
and the Central Powers, were other
features of the news of the week.

Nothing Sacred
TO French Mind.
The French reply can be put
much more shortly and simply,
and it really is the core of the
whole matter.
We have rs a government
nothing traditional or sacred
about us. The parliamentary re-
gime in France is only an expert
ment, and not a very popular one
at that, 1t arose in defeat, and
it viii certainly be modified af-
ter this great struggle; but we
are members of a completely
united nation, older as nation
than any European nation ex-
cept Ireland, and our people feel
this war to be their war as does
no other belligerent people.
"We took the whole brunt Of
the first shock. We have suf-
fered enormous losses. Invasion
and ruin are still upon our soil.
Tt was our military genius which
checked the onslaught, with the
fighting odds Of five to eight, at
the Marne. 1t was we who pre-
vented the initial and easy vic
tory Of Germany. No internal
differences count among us COM
pared with our determination
that the power which has at
tempted our destruction by the
vilest means, by the violation of
treaties, and by susages unheard
of among civilized men, shall be
destroyed. In this determine
tion, with which the whole ma
tion is filled, and of which we
parliamentarians are
the exponents, is rooted
our certitude of victory. But
we have suffered far more than
any of our allies, precisely be-
cause we took the first shock.
We are compelled, therefore, to
trust in the reinforcements they
will afford us. We will sacrifice
every private difference be-
tween ourselves and those allies
to the supreme common end.
After victory there will bc
great domestic changes among
us. They may be violent. They
will certainly be Fundamental.
But the nation viii not attempt
them until victory is achieved.
