THE LIBERTY LOAN
Committee of Custer and Fall River County
Holds Joint Session at Hot
Springs Sunday.
BY L. p. KING.


A joint session of the Custer and Fall
RIVER County Liberty Loan Committee
was held at Hot Springs Sunday after
noon for the purpose of formulating
plans to take up the quotas of the two
counties in the third Liberty Loan cam
paign, which will be launched the 9th
day of April
The meeting, which was held in the
commercial club room, was addressed
by +. X. Stuart, of the Executive Com
mittee of the Federal District, who for
more than an hour explained the plan
adopted by his committee for the sue
| cessful hotation of the next issue Of
Liberty Bonds. For the sake of more
forceful infusing his ideas into the
minds of his hearers, the speaker made
a good many humorous comparisons by
telling some witty story, which kept the
audience in good spirits all the time.
In speaking on the possibility of the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Council of
Defense helping in the coming cam
paign, he said they could do more good
by instructing the mothers and children
into the ways of becoming good Ameri-
can citizens, as the selling of bonds was
practically a mans job
This statement was challenged by one
of the ladies in the audience, who told
the speaker that, while where be came
from they might hold those opinions as
to woman's ability, that the men in the
Black Hills hold them in different
light.
Mr.. Stuart later explained that it was
not his desire to hurt anyone's feelings,
and especially the ladies'. He said be
was fully satisfied that the women
would make good solicitors-he could
tell that by the husbands some of them
had chosen.
Chairman Marty here came to the
defense of the women stating that he
would be only too glad to allow them to
work in conjunction with his other
solicitors.
Other speakers were called upon, and
a number of short speeches were made
by local men, the principal ones being
by Superintendent Browning and POST
master Eastman. The latter gentleman
explained to what extent he and his
force of assistants were carrying on the
campaign of Baby Bonds. He said that
the Hot Springs Office, exclusive of what
they sold to other offices in the county,
ran over $4,000 for the month of
February.
After the joint meeting adjourned the
Custer County committee held meet
ing at the same place. They organized
with Frank NJ. Stewart as chairman, and
Thos. w. Delicate as secretary After
formulating plans for districting the
county the committee adjourned to meet
again on April lst in Custer.

FOREST SUPERVISOR DUTHIE
TO LEAVE CUSTE

Mr.. George Duthie has been notified
of his promotion to the Black Hills
Forest Reserve, headquarters at Dead.
wood, to succeed Mr.. Paul Kelleter
who is transferred to the Washington
office.
Mr. Duthie is we'll qualified for his
task. He is graduate of Michigan Uni
yersity and has been in forest work
since 1909 when he came as assistant
forester to the Black Hills. During this
intervening period he has been at Lara
mie, Wyo., as Supervisor, returning to
Custer one year ago. During his man
agement he has constantly labored to
be absolutely fair in all questions aris-
ing between the Government and the
ranchers and his decisions have been
i'm partial. He has such a grasp of the
situation that it seems bit unfortunate
that he is to leave. However as the
transfer is in the way of promotion
his friends will congratulate him. Mr..
and Mrs. Duthie will be missed in Gus
ter activities, and Deadwood will gain
in them an acquisition to the business
and social life, an asset for which they
are to be congratulated. The Duthie's
will leaye for the new home early in
April.

REFER QUESTION ID
 PRESIDENT WILSON

LONDON, July 29.-In the debate in the House of Commons today on his motion regarding Ireland, John Dillon, the nationalist leader. proposed the reference of the question to President | Wilson.
 Replying to MT. Dillon's speech on his motion, Edward Shortt, secretary | for Ireland, said that the government had been compelled to take strong ac- tion in Ireland because there was a complete military system in southwest Ireland Instructions were given. the secretary declared. as to how to cut railways and destroy bridges and com- munications. while explosives had been recently imported.
 Introducing his resolution which ex- presses the view that the true solution of the Irish question is to put into op- eration without delay in regard to Ire
 land the principles laid down by Pres ident Wilson," Mir. Dillon admitted that the Nationalist party was in difficulty but. he added, we are because we have struggled to save the constitutional
 position and bring Ireland into the
 war, while the government has done
 everything in it's power to drive hel out of the war"
 The Nationalist leader declared the question of Ireland was war question
 and that was why he brought it up al
 the present time. How could Grea
 Britain, he asked, put before the world
 as one of her objects of the war, tho
 freeing of small nationalities wher there was Ireland lying at her bacl
 door under the unhappy tyranny of
 military government?
 Regarding the suggestion made b,
 John Dillon, the Irish nationalist lead CT, that the Irish question be referre,
 to President Wilson, Mir. Asquith said He would be very bold man wh' would expect Mr. Wilson to undertak task which has baffled so man. ] pioneers in the past.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. July 29.-At a hearing here today in the district court, Judge J. w. Shaefor an nounced that he did not expect to re- linquish jurisdiction over the Colorado Midland railway which has been or dered to discontinue operations by de- drees of the court on August 5. next. However, in response to a request from L. J. Williams. member of the state public utilities commission. the court consented to take the matter un- der advisement for few days. Will Hams today contended that inasmuch as the road owed it's existence to the state, it cannot discontinue without the permission of the utilities commis- sion.

 FRENCH TROOPS
 PRESSFORWARD
Most Bitter Fighting Re-
 gently Reported Along New Line. Foch Seeks
 to Force Wedge in Center
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. July 29.-French and American troops were still press ing forward vigorously today the cam paign that had up to this time sue ceeded in ejecting the enemy from more than half of the Aisne- Marne salient. Related announcement from Berlin that further withdrawal had been improving since last Friday night left it greatly in doubt as to where the German high command plans to mako a stand
 The majority opinion among officers here. however. was that a strong line could not be set up short of the Nesle river and that even there the Franco British positions about Reims would keep the German left flank in constant danger. There was strong feeling that the eventual line resulting from General Foch's bold counter blow would be along the heights of the Aisne.
 Enemy Evacuation Not Completed
 As the line stood, according to the last available reports tonight it ap- peared certain that the evacuation an- nounced by the enemy had not been completed. The salient has been re- duced until it no longer has anything of the old wedge shape. The apex has been driven in so that an irreglar line roughly paralleling the Soissons- Rejms base has been created. The most bitter fighting recently re- ported is along the center of the ir- regular line that now forms the front between the enemy flank positions | Franco American forces were fightin: l fiercely with enemy rear guards her, at last accounts, and a crack division | of Prussian guards had been hurled against the American positions in counter attack to check their progress

 take the strong fang positions il the rear and force an even nor precipitate withdrawal. There wer signs that definite minor pocket wa

CHICAGO, July 29.-Adoption of anti draft resolutions several months ago by the l. w. w. local at Crosby, Minn., was the act of an isolated group, according to evidence introduced today by the defense in the L w. W. conspir- acy trial.
 Leo Lauki, editor of the Finnish I. w. w. paper at Duluth, testified that free criticism was the general policy of his publication. When he advised local members of the l. w. w. to obe., the law and register in accordance with the selective service act, com
 plaints began to pour in from the sub scribers and directors, he said. Because of unjust compulsory military service in Finland, all the Films of the Mesaba range region were violently opposed to conscription.
 Attorneys for the defense maintained | that the evidence went to prove that the occasional outbreaks against the l war by the l. w. w. members were al
 ways local in nature and never part of

 PARIS, July 2e.-The allied forces continued to gain ground at almost all points on the Soissons- Reims salient today, but the prin cipaI progress, according to the war office announcement tonight was on the west flank and around Fere-en- Tardenois. Numerous vil- Iages fell into the hands of the allies.
 "The day was marked by very violent engagements along the whole front north of the Marne. The enemy, whose resistance was powerfully increased, disputed ground with us foot by foot and attempted to force US back by nu- merous counter attacks. Our troops repulsed all assaults and made new progress
 "On the outskirts of the village of Buzancy, Scottish troops cap tured the park and chateau and maintained their positions despite the repeated efforts of the Ger mans.
 East of PIessier Hueu and OuIchy Ie Chateau we advanced beyond the Chateau Thierry road and captured Grand Rozoy and Cugny: we occupied in the course of brilliant action the Butte ChaImont. Four hundred and fifty prisoners remained in our hands.
 "On the right bank of the Ourcq river we extended our gains north of Fere-en- Ta Tardenois and pene- trated into Sergy. Further south, Roncheres fell into our power.
 "On our right we crossed the Dormans Reims road south of VI- iers -Agron- Aieuizy. We gained ground west of Bligny and St. Euphraise.

AMSTERDAM, July 29.-The chiei of the German admiiAty staff, Admiral von Holtzendorff, haS e. 1laihed to the Cologne Gazette to therfest Of his abn- ity, the reason why German U- boats are not sinking American transport . He says that owing to the many points of debarkation that are at the disposal of the Americans from the north of Scotland to the Mediter- ranean. the irregularity of the coming of the transports and the strong de- stroyer guards which accompany them, it is inexpedient for the U-boa'ts to turk off these harbors on the chance of getting shot at them. The real ob- ject of the U-boats, adds the admiral. is to reduce enemy cargo space. for on this depends the ability of the allies to continue the war
