Everywhere the victors found vast
stores Of weapons and materials
which the Huns left in accordance
with the stipulatons of the armistice,
and in general it was said the Ger
mans were carrying out the terms i'm
posed on them. There was pillaging
in some places, and occasionally a
storehouse was blown up, but these
instances were comparatively infre-
quent. The worst charge against the
conquered foe related to the released
allied prisoners. Many of these,
usually sick and half starved, were
merely turned loose 70 make their way
to their friends as best they might
England sent to Berlin a stern pro-
test against such violations of the ar
mlstice terms.

Of commercial attaches in foreign

taches are employed for their ability
TO scent business from distance, re-
port on trade conditions in foreign
countries and give advice and assist

business with foreign houses. Great
Britain proposes to have y of these

Armies of Allied Nations on Their
Triumphant March to the
Rhine.
GERMANY SURE NDERS FLEET
President Wilson Prepares to Leave
for Europe to Take Part In the
Peace Conference-Ukraini
Government Overthrow
by Anti-Bolshevists
By EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The triumphant march to the Rhine
by the armies of the allies has been
going on steadily all week. At last
these brave troops move forward real
ly with bands playing and banners
flying" and as they pass through the
cities, towns and hamlets of northern
France and Belgium the people OF
those places, released from years of
barbarous slavery to the Huns, give
them hysterical welcome. From holes
where they had been hidden since the
summer of 1914 their national flags
are brought forth TO decorate the
buildings and streets and the ruins
left by the invaders, and everywhere
homemade specimens of the Stars and
Stripes fly with the other banners.
The wild JOY of the inhabitants is
pathetic in the extreme, and especial
ly in Alsace and Lorraine, which is
occupied by the Third American army
together with the French under Gen
eral Mangin. Those lost provinces"
now regained, have ever remained
loyal at heart to France and they well
coined the Poilus and the doughboys
with open arms.
For Lorraine the great demonstra-
ton took place in Metz, which was
entered by Mangin's army on Tuesday.
That general was injured the day be-
fore when his horse fell, but Marshal
Petain was there and, standing before
the statue of Marshal Ney in the main
square, reviewed the troops. The in
habitants had overturned the German
statues i'm the city and made the place
gay with the allied flags and with
their own national costumes. Similar
scenes were witnessed in Strassburg
and other cities of Alsace. Near the
Swiss border the French troops first
reached the Rhine.
The American army Of occupation,
commanded by General Dickman, and
about 100000 strong, marched across
the old German frontier into Lor-
raine and swung to the norttward
into Luxembourg the marines on its
right passing into Belgium. In the
grand duchy no less than elsewhere
the Yankees were enthusiastically
greeted. Their advance was made al
ways with due caution, however, and
the task of moving so large an army
forward steadily and keeping up its
supplies and communications was
performed in perfect manner.
Meanwhile the British and Belgian
armies of occupation were keeping
pace with their allies, advancing
through Belgium close on the heels Of
the retiring Germans.

Twenty-Five hundred newspapers have been
compelled to suspend publication during the past
year owing to the increase in cost price of ma
terial and wages. Yet you will find hundreds
of delinquent subscribers who take their home
paper year after year and never give thought
to the trying position this unusual condition
places the editor and publisher in. If every
one would make it point to pay their sub
scription dues in advance, each year, it would
lessen the burden and enable the editor to issue
a much better paper. Ever look at it in this
light? Start the new year with a clean sheet
with the editor of your home paper-Park Rap

Frank Day says that if the Willard Fulto

A that cit will defeat Governor Burnquist an
it ought to- That isn't the worst thing it vii
do by any means! The state has a right to de
mand that the capital city shall not desecrat
Independence Day which should mean as muc
to US in 1918 as it did in 1776, by any such de
grading sport. We agree with Bob Forrest 0
the Lake Wilson Pilot:
"The Pilot has always been an advocate
Of every kind Of athletic sport, but this
fight proposition in st. Paul on July 4th
makes us disguised. Over across the water
are our boys fighting to make this country
safe place to live and we repay them by let
ting two plug uglies fight on the anniver-
sary of our independence. If Fulton and
Willard want to fight for Gods sake send
them to France. From all accounts there
are 800 miles of different kinds of fighting
and they should have no trouble in finding
. scrap to their liking"

In Slayton SO much flour has been returned
that lately it has been impossible to accept more.
At Currie the same condition exists, while at
Lake Wilson there has been enough flour re-
turned to build wall around the town. Mem
bers of the Safety Commission as well those
who have heard of the commission have
returned flour, so it will be seen that it would
be impossible and also unpatrotic to make men
ton of people who have been loyal enough to
return their flour without making any trouble.

The Nonpartisan League is out to "get the
goat of Herbert c. Hotaling of the Mapleton

editor, but it was as effective as sand against
shrapnel Herb. Hotaling needs no defenders.
His record is clean and spotless. When the
League endeavors to hook him up with what
they are pleased to call stthe kept press" they
fail most miserably. In fact there is no such
thing as sthe kept press" It is a fine, mouth
filling phrase coinced to fool the public. The
only sense in which the press can be considered
kept" is that it has kept lot of people from
