Gunshot, Dies

Harold Harrison Greer, 11-year- old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs N. L. Greer,
Burrell apartments, who was ae-
eidentaIly shot in the shoulder by a
20 caltber rifle in the hands Of a
companion at q picnic In the Agri-
cultural college grove Saturday,
April 20, died in a Fargo hospital at
6 o'clock this morning.
At first the wound was not con-
sidered serious. Surgeons, how
ever, were unable to extract the bull
let, which had lodged near the spine,
and the little victim grew steadily
weaker until the end. Surviving are
the parents, and one sister, Alice.
Funeral services win be held from
ST. Mary's cathedral Thursday af-
ternoon, and interment will be in st,
BGary's, cemetery, J. z. Dougherty, of

Aims Are Doubtful.

With the French Army in France,
Monday, May 27s-Whether the Ger
man attack north of the Aisne Is
merely demonstration in force with
the object of drawing. the allied re-
serves cannot be gathered from the
opening stages Of the fighting.
The length of the front between
the hanks on the attacking line
seems to imply a great effort on the
part Of the enemy to capture terri
tory in order to claim victorious
progress Immediately after starting
and thus improve the morale Of the
German public.
Both the French and British troops
are fighting with the greatest energy
and bravery, the officers and men
working together in absolute har-
mony.
The allied commanders have the
situation we'll in hand and had pre-
pared to meet an attack in this re-
glon. The allies hold a series Of COM
manding hills and the western fiank
is very htlly with deep valleys.

this morning launched a counter at
tack IN Flanders east OF Dickebusch
lake. The attack began well. Sue

Of yesterday a complete and costly

In yesterdays attack in Flanders,

The enemy troops were punished so
severely that the French on the right

MRS. WILSON CREETS
US. WOMEN, PLAYING
NOBLE PART in WAR

1.-THE greeting which I am
glad to send to the women of
our beloved country who are
playing SO large and SO noble a
part in this day Of our supreme
test can have but r. single
thought for it's theme-the
thought that Is in all our
hearts.
THAT thought is that we are
sustaining. not q government,
but the very principle of our
nations life. The morale OF the
war Is in the thoughts and
aspirations and hopes of the
women as well as Of the men.
They stand at the very CEN
ter of every issue involved. as
the men do. and in that sense
the war is theirs. 1t is a war
for what is humane and right.
They can put all that Is best
of them into the struggle. And
they are doing so.
Il deeply admire them and
am proud to stand with them.
A new glory attaches to- the
Fourth of July because we are
striving to make the whole
world free.

Mr.. Fits said history shows that
from the time Prussia began to weld
the German states into an empire the
stage has been set and the scenery in
process OF preparation for this catas-
trophe.
After referring to the Prussian.war,
Mr.. Fits dwelt upon the Balkan war
of 1912. Coming back to Germany.
he declared:
Aimed to Divide Europe.
The Balkan war opened the eyes
Of imperial Germany to the fact that
the hour had struck for driving a
wedge and acquiring dominion
through the middle of Europe down
to the Persian gulf. so that all Eu-
rope would thenceforward be di-
vided into two parts. forever sepa-
the most, would also prevent concert
of action between the wings, thereby
| controlling the whole body. The fruit
was ripe; the tree needed but to be
shaken. The shake came from an as
sassination which gave an oppor-
tunity for Germany to heckle Austria
into making unthinkable demands on
, Serbia"
A number OF high government off,
