Hot Bombardment of Foe Lines
The British army continues to exact
, great toll Of life from the enemy.
Last night the entire area OF the SOM
ne battlefield, over which the German
,mDcror's troops have spread them
selves, was subjected to a most ter
lille Eombarhment, which lasted I'M

There hiss been practically no
change in he british lines since yes

Ors arc continually coming back from
the direction OF Albert, most OF them
to the effect that the Germans were
well on the way to Amicns. But the
Termans were &till sitting under the
gun fire Of the British artillcrymen
and machine gunners this morning.
Huns Make Vain Attacks
During the night the enemy tried to
advance Oh COlingamps, northwest or
Albert. but was thrown back Similar
attempts against the neighboring VII
lage OF AucEOnvillers met a like fate,
and the British captured prisoners.
The Germans were in force in this
sector, Ravarians being included
among the troops.
Another attack was delivered at Al.
ain2evellc, but was flung back. These
mark the principal events along the
British front A renewal OF the often

mans have had time to prepare them
selves.
Touching scenes are Witnessed
among the civilian population in the
areas affected by the German often

been coming back from their homes,

sheep toward Ravens OF safety. There
has been no stampede and little con

AS A WAR MEASURE

A few weeks ago, President Will
son wrote to Senator Shields Of Ten
nessee, relative to the National Suf-
frage Amendment. 1t is as follows:
The White House, Washington
My dear Senator; l feel so deeply
the possibilities latent in the vote
which is presently to be taken
by the senate that | am taking a step
which in ordinary circumstances |
would not feel justified in taking. and
ask you very frankly if it will not be
possible for YOU to vote for the
amendment. | feel that much of the
morale of this country and of the
world will ,epose in our sincere ad-
herence to democratic principles, will
depend upon the action which the SEN
ate takes in this now critically inn
portant matter. If it were merely a
domestic question. or if the times
We're normal, | would not feel that l
could make a direct request of this
sort: but the times are far from nor
NAL, the fortunes of nations are so
linked together, the reactions upon
the thought of the world are so sharp
and involve momentous issues, that |
know that you will indulge my un-
usual course of action and permit me
to beg very earnestly that you will
lend your aid in clearing away the
difficulties which undoubtedly will be-
set us if the amendment is not adopt
ed. With much respect, sincerely
yours,
(Signed) Woodrow wilson"
Replying to an opinion of dissent to
his statement above, the president
said:
Il would not have written as | did
if | had not thought that the passage
of the amendment at this time was
an essential psychological element in
the conduct of the war for democracy.
| am led by the single sentence in
your letter, therefore, to write to say
that | do earnestly believe that our
action upon this amendment will have
an important and immediate influence
upon the whole atmosphere and
morale Of the nations engaged in the
war, and every day | am coming to see
how supremacy important that side of
the whole thing is. We can win if we
have the will to win"

TO ENFORCE THE LAWS

At the meeting of the County Coun-
Gil of Defense last week a number of
threshers and farmers were present
and a number of things of general in
terest were discussed, among them
being the rate to be charged or paid
for threshing grain. The order of
the State Council fixing forty-five
cents per hour as the highest price
to be paid for shocking, stacking and
threshing grain was also discussed,
and also the necessity for saving grain
of all kinds. Chairman Dalthorp,
County Agent Finley, and other speak.
ers made it very plain and evident
that If the National Laws and Regu.
lations, the laws Of the state, and the
orders Of the County Council of De-
tense are properly carried out. it will
need the aid and assistance of the
entire people Of the country. That it

DO NOT BE A TRAITOR"

I'm feeling pretty worried Owe all the
things | hear;
OF the shrapnel and the cannon that
are roaring round you dear;
OF the Zeppelin and the airplanes and
the sEakey submarine,
But the worst of all the things | fear
nearly turns me green.
Is the fear of the damsels you'll be
meeting over there.
The Pa%risiennes and the Belgian
maids with their fascinating air.
SO be a loyal lover, don't forget the
girl back home,
No matter how they smile at you
don't let your fancy roam.
For the French girls are so pretty,
and the nurses are SO kind
Don't be a traitor to the girl you left
behind.
| know you are loyal to the old Red.
White and Blue,
And | hope that you'll be loyal to
your little sweetheart, too,
Against the Huns they spell with "u'
you'll hold your own | know
But | fear you may be ambushed by
the Hons they spell with CO..
Stand guard against temptation, don't
surrender to their charms,
And wait till you come back to me
before presenting arms.
Leave the French girls to the French
men, and the nurses to their docs,
But the soldier in khaki for the girl
who knits his socks.
Tho the French girls may be pretty,
and the nurses may be kind,
Oh, do not be a traitor to the girl you
leave behind.

SOLDIERS NEED MORE BOOKS

The Brookings Public Library has
received a request from the American
Library Associations headquarters In
Washington for more books from this
community for the men overseas. The
appeal from Washington states that
new novels and good western stories,
whether new or old, are most needed.
Books by Zane Grey, Rex Beach, Jack
London, Ralph Connor, Owen Wister
and o. Henry are very popular. The
Public Library announces that it will
receive and forward all suitable books
that are turned in. 1t urges the
friends of the soldiers and sailors,
many of whom have already respond
ed most generously, to give more
books. The communication received
by the Library from the Washington
headquarters states that over 600, 900
books have been sem overseas. The
supply is nearly exhausted, and sew
eral hundred thousand more will be
needed soon by the six dispatch offices
which are now shipping books to
France. The boys are packed at
these dispatch Offices in strong cases,
so built that they serve as a book
case. In France. the books are dis
tributed by an experienced Librarian,
representing the American Library
Association. Most Of them go to Y.
Army huts. hospitals and c%anteens.
Others 90 directly to c~haplains and
officers.

The following letter from Andrew
Pultz tells of another boy from Brook
ings who is right up behind the firing
line:
In France, June 18th, 191S.-Dear
Folks: 1t must be nearly three weeks
since | have written, but at that |
have done about as well as most of
the boys in our battery. Between
moving. working and getting eats and
sleep it doesn't give us very much
time. Don't blame me if you don't get
very many letters, as work, move,
sleep and lodging occasional shells
now and then keep US pretty busy.
We might see the big show very soon
now as we would only have to go as
far as the Sioux Valley Junction to
make it interesting for us. Well it
won't be long before we will be wear
ing u first gold stripe, and it makes
me mad to see some boys sporting
two already. You say everything |
do would be interesting to you. No
doubt, some of it would, and that's
what | would like to tell about but
cannot, if l could tell everything |
would write every day, but it can't be

it is hard to get films as a photo gall
lery is unknown. Besides about a
month ago some n proceeded to un-
tie my barracks bag and make him

of rolls with it that | had bought from
some of the fellows. Am going to try
and send some pictures home.> | had
a lot pasted in a book, but they were
too hard to cart around that way or
any other, so | guess they are better
off if | can get them sent home. Don't
ever think that when | get a package
| do not write and thank the one who
sent it. Well it is getting dark and it
is hard writing in a pup tent and no
candles, so must quit and will try and
write oftener. Guess you will have
to address me p. O. rs, as it seems
to get here pretty well hat way.
Love to all. Andrew.

is impossible for the council or the
members thereof to do more than as
sist in the carrying out of these mat
tiers, and to see that the same are
complied with where complaint is
made to the council. There are a
great number of things requiring the
attention of the council. The people
as a whole should insist on these laws
and orders being fully complied with.
These orders were only enacted be-
cause there VAS a need for such, and
of would materially aid in the sue
cessful prosecution of the war.
The making of order No. l by the
Council of Defense of Brookings III
ty was simply a step in this same d.
rection. In order that the farmer and
the thresher may both be dealt fairly
with, and that each may receive prop
er compensation for his labor.
The making of the order by the
State Council of Defense fixing the
price to be paid to farm labor for
shocking, stacking and threshing at
As cents per hour was a move in the
same direction.
The laws of the national govern
ment and the state, and the orders of
the State Council of Defense relati e
to the conservation of food, and for
bidding the boarding of food. and for
bidding the wasting of food was a
move in the same direction.
No one should be permitted to hoard
food supplies, such as wheat, flour,
sugar and other things forbidden by
law. No one should be permitted to
waste grain, either in cutting, shock
ing, stacking or threshing. 1t is not
so much the question Of the value of
the grain actually wasted as it is the
necessity of increasing the quantity
of said grain, increasing our stores
of the same. No farmers should leave
grain standing In the field, ever
though the yielding of said grain
might be light, and even though there
might be some question as to it's be-
ing profitable to harvest the same.
No farmer should be permitted, or
should leave grain scattered or I'M
shocked. or in any other manner waste
the same. No thresher or farmer
should permit grain to be wasted in
the straw pile. Nor should grain be
left unthreshed around the separator
on removing to another location. Nor
should bundles be left in the field or
shocks left on threshing a field.
Mr.. Dalthorp made it plain that 1t
is the earest desire of the Brookings
County Council of Defense that each
man, woman, and child in the county
make it a point to see that these
things are done, and to see that none
of the laws of the national govern
ment, the state, or the orders of this
council are violated.
Should any one know of the viola
ton of any of these things, a com
plant thereof should be made to the
Council of Defense. Your name will
not be disclosed in connection there
with if you desire.
1t is a duty that you owe to your
country, your state, to your sons, or
your brothers, or your husbands who
may now be serving in Uncle Sans
army or navy. 1t is the patriotic
duty of each and every citizen to see
that these laws and rules are fully
complied with: County Council.

trips. We have surely had the trip
of our lives and one | shall never
forget. We have travelled in such a
round about way that | believe we
have totaled 5000 miles since leaving
Funston a month ago today. 1t has
certainly been a month of expert

from home, but for some reason or
other | don't seem to realize we are

morning and tried out some of my
French on a woman running a little

we got along very well and | could

I'm thankful / know a little of it.
| like the country here and the
climate is fine-much colder and more
snappy than in the states. The sur
roundings are very pleasant outside
of the fact that we have to go quite
a distance for water. There is no
dust and the country is beautiful. |

l received the first mail since about
May 90, today and it surely seemed
good to hear from home again. Got
your letter written June 6, and also
m from Lyle. | did not get your
letter written to Camp Mills.
We are now getting a little used
to our surroundings and it seems a
little like our camp at Funston again
as we are drilling regularly now. We
do quite a lot of hiking and in that
way have a good opportunity to see
the country around here. 1t surely
is a pretty country with quite a lot

They hitch one horse behind the 9TH

tor here and everything is hoed. A
lot of the hOeing is done by the wom-

ors at our village and that's all.
They have little pools of water near
the wells which are used for public
washing places and all the women

there to do their washing. All they
have is a little soap and a brush and
l haven't seen anybody use a wash
board there yet. Apparently they
don't know that warm water is better
to wash in than cold.
The best part of this country so
far is the climate. 1t is never hot
only for about three hours in the af-

cool.
Well, | will close for this time as
