Talk of this kind certainly Is disloyal
and unpatriotic to say nothing about
it being a violation of the law.
Every banker in the county is on an
executive committee for the Fourth
Liberty loan and consequently is ex-
pected to attend the meetings of COM

rules governing the Fourth Loan drive
are very plain in this respect and the
county chairman is required to report
all such failures.

many striking features was the ma.

the best ever shown in the long series
of years that South Dakota has had
a State Fair. The attendance the
first few days was almost a frost, on
account of weather conditions, but
continued to improve as the week
wore away. The receipts on Wednes-
day eclipsed any day in the history of
the fair association and the average
for the week was good. The custo-

LONDON, Saturday, March 30.-
The battle for which no one attempts
to give q name because 1t Is on q
scale too great for any geographical
designation began one week ago last
Thursday To say that it has been a
week OF the greatest strain and stress
that the British people have ever
known, would be to make a futile I'M
reinstatement.
The fate. of England, indeed, of the
whole British empire. has been com
mitted to s the test of one clash OF
arms. Everyone has realized this to
the depth of his mind. The anxiety
in the rural districts has been even
keener than in the cities where the
frequent newspaper bulletins have
been furnished the public with food
for discussion and speculation.
Unites All Parties.
The most impressive effect of the
crisis has been the sweeping aside OF
all political factional disputes. To
day there is only the united nation
whose hearts are with the soldiers IN
France. Before, the progress of the
war had come to thelevel where dis
cussion of policies and personality
were consuming a considerable part
of the peoples attention, and particu-
larly the attention of politicians. To
day the pacifist journals have fallen
into line with the others. They have
dropped their criticisms of the man
agement of the war and ceased to talk
of peace by negotiation.
Forget Mistakes.
There are few suggestions that the
policy of misunderstanding di
versions of military strength to dis.
tant fields like Mesopotamia and Sa
loniki-have proven mistakes; regrets
are expressed that those forces are not
in France. There are feelings in some
quarters that General Sir William 4
Robertson, chief of the eastern com
mand, whom many believe the coun
try's ablest organizing general. ough'
rather to be at the helm.
There are reminders also that Red
mond and Dillon might have brought
all the manhood of Ireland into the
fighting ranks had they been listened
to. But the general feeling that the
errors of the past should be forgotten
and that the shoulders of all should be
nut to this days work in so far as il
can be done.
Wonder About Americans.

ward which the English people are
eagerly looking is the American army
