Did you ever see a lot of Wah-
peton nine spot men who had it
for a business man and didn't
why? Ever hear the city ours
curse and berate a home man
who has made a success of what
he has undertaken, while they
have been chewing and splitting
and lushing at the same old job
they monkeyed with ten years
ago? Ever see a man who glor.
led in another's success and took
a straggler by The hand and say:
I'm glad to see you succeed"
Ever Gear any of these things?
Of course you have. You seei
them every day. Then there are
dozens of reptillians who will
greet you with a smile and stab
you in the back because you at
tend to business and succeed.
Whether they can do as we'll or
not, there are always plenty of
the venomous knockers who are
50 filled with envy and jealousy
that they cannot be decent when
someone else wins. They fight
you and lie about you for no
other reason than to tear you
down. In short, no one has de-
scribed them better than Shake
speare has; when,he said: "You
have enemies and know not why
they are, but like the village cur,
bark because their fellows do"
The brains of the country still
develop devices of one kind and
another. Some wonderful things
have been thought out by the
changeable mind of John An
drews of the Lidgerwood Broad
axe, but what the world needs, is
for someone to make a collar
that a four-in-hand tie will slip
without tearing the collar off.

PLANS FOR MEMORIAL DAY

The committee in charge of pre-
parations for Memorial Day an
nounces the following plans: In the
forenoon transportation will be pro-
vided, as formerly, for those who
wish to decorate graves. The pro-
gram for the afternoon will begin
with the parade starting from the
Armory at 1880 p. m. 1t is hardly
necessary to urge at this particular
time that everybody take part in the
parade.
There will be short exhibition drills
on Dakota Avenue by trained organi-
cations. A patriotic program. in
Guiding musical numbers, will be
given in the Opera House directly
after the exercises mentioned above.
The chief features of this program
viii be the dedication Of the City Ser.
vice Flag and the memorial address
By Mr.. Henry Deutsch Of Minneapo.
Lis. we'll known throughout the
Northwest as an able speaker. Mr..
Deutsch has been particularly promi-
nent in Minnesota by. reason of his
services in advancing the Liberty
Loan Drive. Many citizens of Wah-
peton heard speech given by him
in this city last fall and will be glad
to hear of his return.
The Wahpeton Reserve Company
will attend specially arranged pa
triOtic service in their honor at the
Congregational Church next Sunday
morning at 1O:3O. This will afford
some of our amateur photographers
one of their first and best chances to
"snap" the company in good day
light.
The Church School teachers and
officers of the Congregational church
were entertained last Friday evening
at the Van Arnam home by Miss
Grace Van Arnam and Miss Geor-
giana Baker. Following sociable
war-menu lunch the group held its
regular monthly business meeting.

If John Wanan1aker

TURNING POINT IN THE WAR
Entry Of United States Came at Time
to Save France From Ca

Washington.-Histor alone will
be able, with the perspective OF years
on this world war. to rate the effect Of
American intervention upon the heroic
French nation. said DR.. w. T. Foster,
one of a commission sent to France
to inspect the work of the Red Cross.
at is not exaggeration to say that,
had we not come In when we did, a
catastrophe might have happened In
France" he commented. last spring
there was a pessimistic feeling about
the war among the French. Their sac
rifices had been enormous and the fu-
ture offered little light.
But the day the American Red
Cross officially started its relief work
with the United States behind 1t, the
revival of the morale In the French
army and nation was instantaneous
and profoundly impressive. I believe
Il was turning point In the war"
Doctor Foster had ample opportu-
nifty in the months he spent in France
to form sound opinion. In every
lecture he gives upon Red Cross work
In France he tells his American audi.
ences Of the boundless gratitude the
French have for the relief given them
1t was the kind assistance that touch.
ed them at the heart.

of No Mans Land, fringed on each side
with night watchers who trust nobody
but themselves.
Another period of silence except low
voices of men talking In trench whis-

alphabetically explained, as he rear
ranged his nest of black egglike hand
grenades on the trench shelf before him,
that American soldiers talked too loud
at firSe But they finally learned to
''parier doueement" he added.
The Boche is active again. A flock
of hand grenades roar themselves into
silence on the other side as fiery light
streaks perform ares like Roman can
dies and then float gracefully down
under their parachutes into the Ger
man wire. A rifle grenade explodes
halfway across No Mans Land and
Boche machine guns take up the ture.
The Boche having told the French by
the display that no German soldiers
are prowling In this part of No Mans
Land, there is silence again until time
makes things uncertain.
'sThe Boehe has no reason TO be
nervous yet" whispered an officer.
'Our first patrol goes out at 2 o'clock.
Would you like TO go alongT
patrolling is one of the milder games
Of hide and seek in No Mans Land at
night and it's something most all
American trench soldiers will learn
before the war is over.
