HAVE HAD ENOUGH GAS

The German government is back of
the move to induce all the belligerent
nations to agree to stop the use of
poison gas, declares the National War
Aims committee. Having let loose
this pest of modern warfare, they
wish, when they see 1t about to de-
lvour them, to cry peace" adds the
committee. This explanation. is CIV
en for the movement set on foot by
the international Red Cross society
Of Geneva to abandon the use of the
gas in fighting. 1t is asserted that
the. influence Of neutral powers is
being enlisted" to bring about this
end, German pacihsts in Switzerland
are strongly supporting the attempt
to save the Germans from receiving
payment in their own coin.

Heroism Displayed
By american Troops
DAILY ATTACKS BY GERMANS
ARE BEING REPULSED BY
OUR STRONG TROOPS
SMALL NUMBER OF AMERICANS
HAVE BEEN MADE PRISONERS
MORE MEN FROM UNITED STATES
OVER THERE THAN GER
MANY THINKS

With The American Army In
:: France, Tuesday, April 23.-The shell
torn village of Seicheprey around
which centered the hardest fighting
In connection with the recent heavy
German attack on the American posi-
tions appears to- be destined to hold
proud place in the story of Ameri-
can participation in the world war.
AS further details of the engagement
become known there are disclosed
deeds which are fully in accord with
the finest American traditions.
The Germans opened an attack in
sending forward forces they had been
concentrating for some days. Whe-
ther they intend to make another des-
perate effort to capture Amiens can
not be foretold, but even If they sue
ceeded, the effort would be useless
from a military standpoint
Their previous attempt was frus-
trated by the determined and heroic
resistance of rapidly improvised bod
les OF French and British troops
Since then both sides have had an
opportunity to strengthen their posi-
tions while awaiting developments.
Speaking before the main committee
of the Reichstag, Lieut.. General Won
Stein, Prussian minister of war and
state, said that 10000 men wounded
in the battle on the western front
have already returned to their regi-
ments, according to German news
papers received here. He inferred
from the small number Of Americans
captured that not many Americans
had as yet been sent to the front line.

FARM M~FLEE1- ----~-zs+--s,-s
PROPOSED FOR DAKOTA
Purchase Of 250 Tractors Will Be
Urged by State Council Of
Defense.

bismarck, N. D., April 2O-The Dur.
chase of not less than $50 tractors to
be used as an emergency farm feet
next fall will be proposed to county
councils Of defense by the North Da-
kota Council of Defense, Assistant
Secretary George v. Halliday has an.
nounced. The plan will be for each
county to purchase as many of these
little steel horses as it can pay for
through funds raised by popular sub
scription or otherwise. Each of these
tractors will plow an acre of land an
hour. A fleet of $50, in a ten-hour
day, would plow $500 acres each
working day, and it is believed, in
view of the shortage of labor and
teams in this state, that they would
render farmers a great service.
The North Dakota Council of De-
tense, If the plan works out, will
maintain In Bismarck a CORDS of ex-
pert repair men whose services will
be free to all counties employing
these tractor brigades. It will also
assemble here complete collection Of
repair parts which will be supplied at
cost.
Massachusetts as an emergency
war measure has invested in 1000 of
these little tractors, and Michigan
has invested in large number of
them, whose operations are directed
through county defense councils.
The plan is meeting with favor
here, and probably will be placed in
operation this fall, when a reserve
equipment of at least 1000 teams and
men Will be made available to the
! farmers of the state.
