Allies Capture One of the Great Ger man Supply Bases Inside the Sois- sons-Rheims SaIient-Cavalry
 in Action.

With the American Army Near Soissons. = Franco-American troops continuing their pressure on the Ger mans in retreat from the Marne, have reached and crossed the Ourcq river and penetrated the town of Fere-en- Tardenois, one of the great German supply bases for the enemy troops in- side the Soissons- Rheims salient.
 Meantime on the center of the al- violent attacks by the French have forced the enemy to give further ground and enabled the French to capture several towns of strategic value and to draw their front appre- ciably nearer the high road which Rheims.
 On the extreme wings of the grad ually decreasing pocket-near Sois- sons and Rheims-the enemy, heavily reinforced, is holding tenaciously to his ground, realizing that successes there would result in general crumbling of his plans of defense against the locking up of his entire armies inside the big bag In addi- tion to the large number of troops for reinforcement that have been thrown on these two sectors, the Ger man long-range guns from the region north of Soissons and north and northeast of Rheims are keepig both wings of the salient under a heavy enfilading fire.
 Under the battering tactics of tho Americans and French the German line on the south has now been driv- en back more than 12 miles from the point south of Chateau Thierry, where the allied troops locked the door to Paris against the enemy July Is, and themselves became the az gressors in what has turned out to be one of the greatest battles of the war.
 Where the Germans are in retreat from the south the cavalry has been brought into the fighting and numer- ous tanks and machine guns in profu- sion are everywhere marrying the ene- my, whose losses are heavy. Mean time airplanes are flying over the re- trating hordes dropping bombs. while tie big allied guns from the sides of the salient are keeping up their in- tensive firing from all angles into the densely congested area.
 The retreat of the enemy has by no means become a rout, and so long as the picked troops around Soissons and Rheims are able to keep we'll open the mouth of the bag through which the Germans are falling back, it is expected that the greater portion of the armies of the crown prince will be successful in reaching in or der the line where it is intended for them to turn and make a stand.

B0ttineau County Boy Tells Some of

enabled to publish the following let
ter, the last which Mr.. Dyrstad has
received from his son, Ole, who is a
member of Co. D. Engineers, Amer

In France, January 9, 1918
Dear Folks:
I am now here in France, and am
10. K. You may have been wondering
what had become of me, being that
! have been on the way for so long a
time, and have had no chance to write
to you. I stepped on French soil for
the first time in 1917, and have seen
a lot Of funny things here since then.
The houses are mostly built of rock
and the streets are very narrow. The
most of the people here are very poor.
Stoves and heating plants are almost
unknown. I saw in M place here
a hard coal heater, in a large room,
without a stovepipe.
The weather is not very cold and
there is no snow; the grass is green
DIS are also some OI Tie CfeeS, DeSlueS
the evergreen variety.
We live in a building which, /
think, when completed will cost about
five million dollars.
The railway lars here are only
about half as long as those in the
United States, and carry about one
third the load, and they have four
wheels instead of eight.
In all the places where I have been
the women handle the freight and ex-
press at the stations. The towns and
cities are in a very insanitary con-
dition, to an extent that one would
scarcely believe without having seen
them.
/ should like to hear who has been
drafted in your neighborhood as who
has been called to France since I left
there.
I have nothing more that l can
write now but will tell you all about it
when / get back. I will write to you
again soon.
Regards to all,
Ole.

racy who has occupied the presidents
chair, since the time Of Abraham Lin
coin. In spite Of the fact that Pres
ident Wilson stated in a public speech
that the man whom Roosevelt is sup
porting had in public speaking "dis-
torted the truth" Teddy is still oppos-
ing the president. It is suspected that
Teddy will sometime in the future an
nounce that his that is in the ring"
Anyway the American people are be-
hind the president and are not, most
emphatically not, behind the Bull
Moose following politician who is en-
deayoring to mend his political fen
ces.
Our latest information concerning
the Red Cross society VS.. Falky case,
wherein a donation of twenty-five dol
lars to the aforementioned beneficial
society by the latter, is to the effect
that the gentleman who sets type on
the so-called paper across the avenue
has come across, which goes to prove
that it pays to advertise in the Cour-
ant-even if you do advertise the
other fellow. Our part in this case
has been very strenuous indeed and
consequently we are very much graf
ified-that the matter has been settled
without further effort on our part.
