fighting front has remained yirtual-

North Of tho Somme the British
have improved their positions in small
attacks, while on the important sector.
south Of the river there has been no
infantry action. North Of the Mont

been violent, but the enemy has made
no attempt to attack. u
Silence is being maintained by both
sides as to the next act in the titanic
military contest.
German newspapers declare that
the German drive was halted by bad
weather and not by the Fr1nco-Brit-
ish defense. Admission is made that
the Germans are having great dinicul-
ty in moving up guns and supplies
over the muddy area Of the Somme
and that transport is in poor shape
because of the necessity for construct
ing new roads.

Chiefly About Men
|: BY K. A. GALLEY

Some people seem to think
that Roosevelt has no right to go
back to Washington and mingle
with the nations lawmakers. It
mag be recalled that John q.
Adams spent fourteen years in
Congress after he was president,
and was a greater power during
those years than ever before.
Roosevelt's right to use all the
influence he has must remain I'M
questioned. When we consider
methods and doctrines it Ia au-
other matter. He is open to the
same criticisms that we may APP
ply to any other man.
Roosevelt's positionis unique
in these particulars. his more
than seven years in the presiden.
cy gave him better opportunity
to know how to sense conditions
as they are than any other pub
lie man. also his great prestige
may cause men to confide in him
things that thcy would not feel
free to tell anyone else.
There Is deep resentment yet
in the minds of many against
England because OF past offenses
against us and the overbearing
manner displayed in number Of
instances. 1t is probable that
these people are more familiar
with the history between our
selves and England than that be-
tween England and France.
More hatchets have been buried
between them many times over
than between us. Nations can
have change of heart just the
same as individuals.
Ii is not probable that a very
large percentage of German pris-
oners in Russia will return to
Germany of their own wills.
Many of them know that they
would be shot as desertcrs.
Large numbers of them are in
the agricultural regions where
they have food and they will be
loath to leave.
Much good will result for the
future welfare of humanity in
general that the three greatest
nations among the allies had
such broad minded, world Wis
Toned, benevolent men as vii
son, Lloyd George and Cietnen-
.ceau to define public policies.
In the first battle OF Ypres
when only 10000 men stood
against one million Germans in
their terrible drive to capture
the north coast of France, Il Won
derful thing happened. The line
had broken. Disaster had ar
rived. The whole front must
give way. There were no re-
serves. One man was there -
Charles Fitz Clarence. He saw
in a flash the breaking lines. As.
Stunning command of the Second
Worcesters, ne swung them into

a great deal of anxiety is no
ticeable at the North End on ac
count of the rumor that the
steamer Daily is sold and will be
taken from the run along the
east shore. 1t is only a rumor.
Mr.. Mcdowell has had an offer
and it has been accepted, but mp
to the present time the color of
the money has not been shown
and the deal may fall through
Let us hope that ninety per cent
of it will not materialize.
Speaking of mistake $. it is our
impression the biggest and only
mistake Wilson has made was in
refusing to let Roosevelt go to
France, and show what a greaJ
big fraud Teddy is. He will rsv-
er forgive Baker, but he is max
ing good presidential timber out
of him. Bakers reply to his crit
les on Monday shows he is on his
job and is making good in every
way. Wilson's experience is
only a repetition of Lincoln's
and McKinley's. Everybody,
for a time, clamored for Stan
toms scalp and also for Ayers.
They got the latter's, butLincoln
would not yield and kept Stan
ton. Wilson would make a co.
lossal mistake if he let Baker go.

Mr. H. O. Fuller has sold his
grocery store at Ellisport to Mr..
h. Il. Allendorf of Seattle.
The people of this community
regret that Mr.. Fuller is moving
ont of the neighborhood, al
though they all hope that the
move may be beneficial one for
both himself and his little fam
lily, and in going to Paradise
Valley he win still remain a citi-

he welcomed at his old home
place.
Mr.. Fuller has always been a
good neighbor, an honest, up
right citizen, and one who is re
spected and esteemed by all who
have had any dealings with him,
either in business or neighborli
ness. His store has not only
been THE corner grocery and
postoifice. but typical country
gathering place for the commun-
ity, where the women have met
and planned civic improvements,
and Red Cross work, or spent the
time in pleasant chats together
while waiting for the mail. And
the men have kept in touch with
one another as they stopped in
on their way home from work.
And here. too, came the people
who We're waiting to take the
boats from the dock: and in the
evening when the days work
was over, the fishermen came in
to ask the news of the day and
TO fill their pipes and replcnish
their larder. One and all were
made welcome by the genial man
who has been our storekeeper,
neighbor and friend for many
years. And we shall miss him,
but wish him all good wherever
he goes.
Mr.. Allendorf is a practical
grocer and is well known to some
OF our citizens, who speak in the
highest terms Of him He in
tends TO move his family here in
n short time. The illness of his
wife and child has prevented
their coming at present.
He is now busy getting ac-
quainted with his surroundings
and his patrons, and his store
will in all probability continue to
be the central gathering place
for the community, as it has been
in the past. and he has the good
wishes of all for success in his
new undertaking.
We certainly hope that winter
will not take a sudden notion to
pay us a visit now, for our roses

guiled into the belief that spring
