SOLDIERS PRINT NEAT
NEWSPAPER IN FRANCE

Through the courtesy of Ralph
Saunderhauf, deputy county treasur-
er, we had the pleasure of reading
''The Fly Paper" a four page, five
column weekly newspaper edited ana
printed by soldiers in the air, SER
vice of the American A. E. F., In
France. Ralph received the newspa-
per from his friend, Roy Johnson.
'The Fly Paper" is the largest
camp paper published in the Air
Service of the American A. E. F., and
copy costs so centimes. The policy
of the paper is impartiality, a little
seriousness, a little instruction, a
little sport and a lot of fun. It is
interesting.

Spanish influenza in Plentywood and
vicinity, no deaths have been report
ed curing the past week resulting
from the disease, and it is believed

net mean that the people cf this city
should be lax in their precautions
guarding against a possible reap
pearance of the epidemic.
The order by the local health board
on closing of schools, theatres, pool
halls, saloons, and all public places
and public gatherings will be removed
in Sheridan county on Sunday, No

ported in the county during the past

on Wednesday morning. He leaves

MISCHEVIOUS KIDS WERE
BUSY LAST NIGHT

AS usual and owing to the fact
tnat tney believe it is perfectly all
right, the kids in Plentywood, and in
all towns in the county for that mat
ter, were busy last night-Hallowe'en
doing every mischevious thing pos
sible for their enjoyment.
The kids in the rural districts were
having just as much fun as those in
town. Eserything from turning
dads, livestock loose to placing the
gang plow or the drill on the roof of
the barn, kept the younger genera
ton busy practically all night.
But then-kids are hds-and thew
must have something to do when
Halloween rolls round each year.

FORMER BARNES COUNTY WO
MAN SEEKS OFFICE IN
MONTANA
Mrs. O'Grady Would be Auditor OF
Sheridan County

1t has come to our notice the past
week that Mrs. Bridget O'Grady
wife of John O'Grady, formerly OF
Oriska, is now candidate for the of
flee of County Auditor of Sheridan
County, Montana.
This piece of news is rather inter-
esting to US in The face of the fact
that Mrs. QGrady's qualifications for
an executive Office of this calibre seem
to be so mediocre. She was at one
time postmistress at Oriska, but was
dismissed from the position for max
ing false returns of cancellations,
having merely estimated the amount
instead of keeping accurate record
according to Government regulations
and was found 70 be sc-.,e,a 81 hundred
do;.a's short when cileck ID up.
When it is considered that the of
flee she is now seeking will involve
the accurate handling of accounts ag-
gregating approximately some mil
lions of dollars each year, we question
the judgment of any political party
that would endorse such candidate
without first looking carefully into
their past record as an accountant.
We understand ti,at she is being en-
dorsed by the Nonpartisan League of
that state, and If so, we are surprised
that they would on this occasion, ov~
eriook this important item in the Sc
lection of o candidate. AS rule the
League seldom overlooks bet of this
kind, especially in politics.
Sheridan County must indeed be
short of political timber If Mrs. o.
tira'iy is the best they have to offer
for County Auditor.

this man who has a "record" himself

that aerial attacks on localities behind

READY FOR PEACE
Chancellor Says Germany
Would Consider Proposals.
Denies Appointment of Won
Hintze Means Change of Policy.

London, July 12.-Germany's lead
ers, military as well political. are
ready to consider sincere peace pro-
posaIs," Charce1 Won aIertling de-
clared in a speech before the main
committee of the reichstag yesterday.
according to dispatches received here
today.
THE recent speeches of President
Wilson and Former Secretary Balfour
plainly indicate our enemies will to
destroy us, and thereby force Germany
to continue the struggle" Won Hertling
said.
THE closest unity, however, exists
among Germany's political and mill
tary leaders regarding readiness to re-
ceive sincere peace proposals"
The program of Germany's foreign
policy, the chancellor added. was laid
down in Germany's reply to the papal
peace note and it would be adhered
to. That would be a righteous peace,
and Germany has not and will not
change her policy, however strong the
idea of destruction was expressed in
speeches in allied countries.
The recent utterances of President
Wilson and Foreign Secretary Balfour,
he continued. forced Germany to con-
tinue the struggle.
Won Hintze to Work Under Hcrtling.
Admiral Won Hintze, the new Ger
man foreign secretary in succession
to Won Kuehlmann, made a binding
laration to Count Won Hertling that
| he was willing in every way to follow
the imperial chancellor's policy.
Chancellor Won Hertling told the
reichstag main committee that the
government intended vigorously to
prosecute the reforms already begun
He commented on the problems in the
east and in the west and concluded
with remarks on the governments fu-
ture program regarding the declara-
ton made in November. 1917, which
had been accepted by large ma jority
! in the reichstag. The change in the
| foreign ministry, the chancellor said
was not caused by any real differences
| of opinion, but arose out of personal
| discussion revealing matters which
| should not be made public.
