EXPRESS RATE CASE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE. COM
MISSION ATTORNEY FINDS
FOR SIOUN CITY
IN SUIT.

Sioux City, March 9.-After four
years of litigation, Sioux City has at
last won out in the South Dakota ex-
press rate ase
j. p. Haynes, traffic commissioner
of the Commercial club, received
word that the report of the eXamin-
ing attorney of the interstate com
merce commission is favorable to
Sioux City. In the large majority of
cases the report of the examining at
torney is accepted by the commission,
Mr.. Haynes declared, so he considers
the case practically settled.
The controversy involved the de-
filming of Sioux City's legitimate trade
territory in South Dakota. Sioux
City jobbers protested that express
rates from here to various points in
South Dakota were too high, being
unduly PREFERENTIAL to jobbers in
Yankton, Sioux Falls, Watertown,
Aberdeen and Mitchell.
The removal of this handicap will
make it possible for Sioux City to
compete on an equality in South Da-
kota with jobbers in that state.

TROOPS MASSED
NEW TEUTON OFFENSIVE ON
THE ITALIAN FRONT
IMMINENT.

Washington, d. c., March 9.-Re-
newed possibilities of a new Austro-
German stroke on the Italian front
are indicated in Italian official dis
patches just received here. Impor'
tant movements of enemy troops
were effected during February. For,
nation by the enemy of a new tactic
al group similar to that adopted fol
the offensive of November last, has
been selected by the Italians.
Long columns of troops are still
moving forward toward Valdastico
Laragina and Guidicaria and there is
an increasing concentration back o
the enemy lines of artillery from the
Russian fronts. The best Austrian
army leaders have been sent to the
Italian front and 1t appears that Gen
Koevess, who distinguished himself
in the Balkans and enjoys the conf,
dence of Gen. Won Hindenburg, is al
present in the Kalsugian sector
Gen. Conrad is acting as advisor tc
the high command. Refugee Italian
soldiers and peasants from the terri
tory occupied by the enemy say that
in the face of the stiff resistance o.
the Italian army the morale of the
enemy was greatly shaken and many
German soldiers deserted and sought
refuge in the mountains. Several
thousand of the deserters were
rounded up.

The BOYS ABROAD
THEY ARE WORKING HARD
EAGER FOR NEWS FROM
HOME.

Sioux Falls, March 9.-Lieut. w.
A.. Messerschmidt, of Brookings, of
Battery E, 147th Field Artillery,
writes to c. S. Willard from Some
where in France" of how South Da-
kota boys overseas eagerly look for
news from home. He says:
I'VE are working hard to get the
men in shape after their long trip,
They have done very little for the
last month or SO. We drill eight
hours per day now. Then we have
considerable other work to do, such
as c~ensoring the mail, ali of which
has to be censored by the officers be-
fore leaving the camp. The men are
all feeling fine. All are anxious to
get into shape for whatever may
come. So far l have not received
any mail, although it is over a month
since we left the United States. Very
little mail has arrived, and that most
ly old stuff that miscarried. How
ever, we expect some the coming
week. Hope so, anyway, as | would
like to know how things are coming
In the United States. We are in a
rather out of the way place here, so
don't get much news. We can buy
Paris editions of the New York and
Chicago papers, but they are only of
one sheet and contain very little
news of interest to us.
THE weather here is very nice.
Although 1t is chilly at night, it is
nice and warm during the day. 1t is
very much like April weather at
home. Last night we had a heavy
frost, the first one since we arrived,
Most of the French farmers have
their ground prepared for the seed,
Some already have their crops in,
The farming methods are crude be-
side ours. They use oxen and walk
ing plows. Most of the carts used in
hauling are two wheeled affairs 7and
are drawn by one horse. Horses are
scarce. Very few men OF military
age are seen. They are either old
men or boys. The women seem to
have taken over all the work for
merly done by men. even to working
in the coal mines. / presume every
one in South Dakota is looking for
ward to spring now. The last snow
we saw was in New York"

NATIONAL PARTY
RED CROSS HIT FOR POLICY In
AIDING TROOPS.

Chicago, March Nationwide
prohibition and woman's suffrage
will be the leading planks in the
platform of the new national party
which resumed sessions OF its first
national convention here today aug
mented by more than 100 delegates
who bolted the prohibition party late
yesterday when that party deadlock
ed over a proposed merger.
Members of the national commit
tee of the prohibition party remained
over today to meet with representa-
tives of the new organization to ar
range for cooperation between the
two, as a result of a compromise re-
solution passed by the older body
late last night. Many prohibition
lists who fought the merger on the
floor of their convention were in at
tendance at the national party ses-
sion today.
Progressive party leaders through
out the country are also rallying un-
der the new standard, according to
Chairman David Coates. of Colorado.
of the national party. and a merger
of the more important units of this
political body is looked for.
The American Red Cross and the
national administration we're round
ly scored from the floor of the con-
vention by Mrs. Frances Beauchamp.
of Lexington. KY, in an address
which received applause. Mrs. Beau
champ attacked the Red Cross for its
policy of encouraging the sending of
tobacco to soldiers and alleged that
ii is unwittingly the tool of the Amer
lean Tobacco company. She asked
the convention to appeal TO the ad-
ministration to prohibit this policy
which. she commended. is directly in
terfering with the efficiency of Am
erica's fighting men.
She said that under the present
policy of the Red Cross persons are
not allowed to contribute packages
for transmission overseas unless the
packages contain cigarets or tobacco.

FELL FROM TRAIN
FORMER SIOUX FALLS RECRUIT.
ING OFFICER KILLED. ?.

Huntington, w. Va, March o.
The body of William S. Duger, of
Sioux Falls, S. D., a soldier, was
found on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad tracks a short distance east
of Huntington late last night. His
skull was crushed, but otherwise he
was not injured. 1t is believed that
he fell from a troop train moving
eastward and that his head struck
the rail on the opposite track. The
crew of a freight train discovered the
body. There is no suspicion of foul
play. His identity was established
by means of the army identification.
Sioux Falls, March 9.-William s..
Duger. who met death last night near
Huntington, w. Va, was for four
months recruiting officer in the army
recruiting office in Sioux Falls. The
latter part of November he was trans
ferred to a training camp at Jeffer-
son Barracks, st. Louis, Mo. He vas
a single man, about 35 years of age
and had been in recruiting work for
about a year. His home is at Eliza
beth, Tenn. 1t is thought he was
being SEN east with troops when he
met his death.

THE PATH OF THE HUN
BY Clinton Scotland
Of The vianantes.

Only a ravaged garth
Where the grass runs wild,
And an old bent woman there
With a little child.
Only a shattered tower
Bereft of its bells,
Where, with its sealed lips, ,
Gray silence dwells.
Only a fresh-heaped mound
With its grim pathos,
And a tilted soldiers cap
On a wooden cross.
Only the creeping wind
And the shrouded sun;
Only the pale gloom this
Was the path of Hun!
