KEEP THE PERSPECTIVE.

It is important to maintain the proper
perspective on the present Allied advance
and not 10 become either too optimistic re-
garding it or too impatient because the
Germans do not promptly retire out Of
France
In territory alone, the Allies, in little
more than month, have regained little
more than one-half Of the territory taken
by the Germans in four months Of their
offensives. The Allies are winning back
ground at rate slightly less than double
the rate they lost it to the Germans. If the
present attacks are continued for another
month, it is reasonable to expect that the
Germans will be back from where they
started last March, which is the old line
based on Lille-Douai-C ambrai-Laon
There now seems to be little doubt but
that it is the German intention to retire
to this line as deliberately as the Allies will
permit There have been times in the last
few weeks when it looked as if big bodies
of German troops would be cut off, notably
in the Marine salient and at Montdidier, but
the German general staff was able to ex-
tricate its forces, and to date the retirement
has been orderly, if rapid at times.
Nor does there seem to be any immediate
prospect Of pocketing any large part of the
German army. The line is being steadily
Strengthened and the Germans are avoiding
salients as far as possible.
But if six months of fighting leaves the
Germans where they started, this statement
applies to the war map only. In that time
they have definitely lost the offensive to
the Allies; and they have lost more than
million effectives and vast stores of sup
plies and munitions They are probably
one third weaker than they were last
March and the Allies have greatly in
creased their strength in the west while the
situation in Russia grows steadily blacker
and more threatening for the Germans,
who are now faced with the probability
that the eastern front will soon have to be
re-established in part at least.
Meanwhile General Foch is attacking
like an expert fencer, thrusting now here,
now there. First it was the Marine, then
Picardy, then along the Disc, then north
near Arras. The next blow may fall in
Flanders, or on that tempting looking sal
lent at St. Mihiel. If any prophecy re-
garding this war were safe, it would ap-
pear that the Germans will hold less of
France and Belgium when the winter rains
come, than they have held at any time since
September, 1914.

would be ample to provide at least 100
acres for every soldier who would be likely
to avail himself of the privilege. e..
Secretary Lane rightfully has taken the
attitude that this land should not be turned
over to the returned soldier as a gift for
speculation purposes.
"He should be allowed to make his own
home" said the secretary. "He should be
cared for while he is doing it, and given an
interest in the land for which he could pay
through long term of years. perhaps 80
or 40. The canals, bitches, the breaking
Of the land and the building of the home
should be his occupation, under proper di-
rection and assistance"
The end of the Civil war brought the
great development of the West. Perhaps
the end Of this war will bring the compile
ton of the movement to bring the waste
lands Of America under cultivation.

JUST ONE ISSUE.

Obscuring the issue by abusing the ele-
yator owners and aligning them with the
chambers of commerce and Big Business
was to be expected on the part of the
Townley organs during the hearing on
grain grading methods which has just
closed in Fargo.
There is just one issue. The elevator
men want to buy on the basis of the
same grades as they sell.
Undoubtedly there have been many in
justices i'll grain grading in the past in
North Dakota The farmers have COM
planned of the low grades given them. On
the other hand the buyers in Duluth and
the Twin Cities have complained Of the high
grades. But that dispute has nothing to
do with the present problem. The elevator
men claim that their one main pur-
pose is to arrange the grading systems
so they will buy and sell under the same
grades. That cannot be done as long as
there are two separate and distinct sets Of
inspectors. The only way to accomplish
that result is to have all inspection, at ele-
vators and at terminals, under federal sup
ervision.

Hun Paper Gives Turkeys Aims

Berlin, Germany (via Amsterdam) The vor-
warts has reproduced from the Turkish paper
Aati definition of what the paper in question
describes as the war aims Of Turkish public
opinion" and which the Vorwarts remarks are
noteworthy for German readers for the most d.
verse reasons.
Beginning by emphasizing the point that Tur-
keys entry into the war would have saved
the entente five theaters Of and would prob
ably have brought about the breakdown Of the
Central powers, the Turkish paper, as quoted by
the Vorwarts, defined these aims as follows:
l. The return by the enemy Of the occupied ter
ritories Of Irak, Palestine and Jezress 2. The
restoration of the Turkish hegemony over Egypt
3. The independence OF Persia, attained by driv-
ing out the English. L. The Black sea to be
Turkish sea with the riparian states under Turk
ish hegemony. "An Ottoman prince in the
Georgia, archduke in Armenia would consti-
tute excellent regents. s. Bulgaria may have
the northern Dobrudja4 but must give back the
two Tcherne basins, while Constanza and Dedea-
must not evacuate northern Italy so long as
Tripolfs Cyrenaica and the Dodekanese are not
restored to the sultan, 7. Our allies must
guarantee the return OF these islands as well as Of
Cyprus. 8. Turkeys food supply must be as
sured in the same manner that Of Germany
German statesmen must remain conscious that
in the securing Of the straits Turkey holds in her
hands an important instrument for the attain
ment of German aspirations II Turkey, in
agreement with Germany proclaims the perpetual
exclusion Of England and Russia from the straits
the conviction as to the reasonableness Of the
Turkish claims will become general IN Germany
The article concludes" writes the Vorwarts
"bY insisting that the demands formulated must
be the ideal Of today and the reality of tomorrow
For the rest, 1t reads, these demands are by
means so far-reaching as those of the Pan-Ger
MANS and do not even include the restoration Of
the Turkish empire as 1t existed at the begin
ming Of the government Of the present sultan"

600 TO SEA. YOUNG MAN"

Half a century or more ago, Horace
Greeley gave his famous advice Of "Go
west, young man..
Today, if Horace Greeley were alive he
might revise that to read: eco to sea,
young man.
Look ahead a year or two.
America will be building ships all
through 1919 and 1920. She is building
them by the thousands-some 5000 to be
more definite, or about 25O0OOOO tons of
shipping. We are building them much
faster than the submarines are sinking
them now, and we are gaining every day.
America will have the greatest merchant
marine in the history Of the world when
the war is over, second not even to Great
Britain s.
In the days of the old Yankee clipper
ship Americans were a race of sea-goers.
That day will return when the war ends.
We will see the ocean moved 1000 miles
inland by the charging of the canal sys-
tenn of the Great Lakes. Duluth, Chicago
and Milwaukee will be ocean ports. The
sea will once more call to American youth,
and the new ships will need thousands of
navigators and hundreds of thousands of
seamen.
For the last two generations the thought
Of going to sea" has never occurred to
the boy reared in an inland city in Amer
lea. He has considered almost every other
line of business but that Of following the
sea. ....-. 80
But all that is going to be changed after
the war. ......
On the sea and in the air are going topbe
the promising openings for the young men
Rf the coming generation.

Interior has been making an extensive sur

will be embodied in measure to be pre-

ciety" item that we all read from time to time
in the home town paper.
Gives a funny sensation, doesn't it? We
realize that some people still getting mar
ried and going on honeymoon trips and for all
know, taking baths in hot water. Not that
we have any objection to Bowel getting mar
ried. We just-but then we hardly analyze
ii.
But when we come across an item like this we
don't have any trouble defining emotion:
Eighty-four men left yesterday for Camp
-. This is the largest single group to
leave since the declaration OF war.
And as the great preponderance of items is OF
the latter trend there can't be any mistaking the
general impression the home town paper creates

and cannon and shells and other things to make
war with, and that when they all get here-oh

THE PLEDGE FOR THREsHERN1EN.

THE PLEDGE FOR THRESHERMEN.
Threshermen have it within their power
to save hundreds Of thousands, perhaps
millions of bushels Of grain.
The food administration has not over
looked this possibility. It has prepared
some rules and regulations for threshermen
and has asked them to enlist in the great
common cause Of food conservation.
Here is the pledge every patriotic
threshermen should take, as it is outlined
by Mr.. Hoover:
~ will do my best properly to repair my
machine so that it can be adjusted to save
grain.
~ will encourage the threshing of grain
only when it is dry and ripe, unless a
greater loss will be incurred by waiting, and
only then with the approval of my county
threshing committee.
