wAsIIINGTON March o5--Bacii from
a visit to the western battle front.
Major General Leonard Wood In con-
fidcntial statement to-day before the

/; was General Woods opinion ac-
cordinG to his auditors. that the Ger
mans on tho western front are now
numerically superior. both on the
ground and In the air. but that the
allies arc in better position. While
confident that the German offensive
viii he halted before the enemy has
gained any material objcctives Cen
eral Wood suggested that the offensive
may change the warfare Into more
open contest. For that reason he rec
omIncnded the training OF AmcrIcau
forces for open warfare as we'll as ror
trench fighting.
The general was before the Military
Committee for three hours. Stating
that the French arc disappointed in
tho size OF the American army thus
far sent to Europe, according 20 com
nittcc members, he recommended I'M =
mediate steps to increase both the
A,ucrican "Npciitinnary forces and the
army In training in this country.
Chairman Chamberlain said General
Wood recommended that an army of
100000 men be maintained in
France az the earliest possible mUmen,

WOOD BELIEVES
DRIVE WILL DE SiORT-LINED

Commenting on tho German offensive.
General Wood, according TO members
Of the committee. said thet. although
tn" initial success OF the Germans
probably had been greater than cz-
pcctcd either by tho allies or the
cncr y, judged by the number Of Brit
ish reported captured he and allied
officers believed the drive will be short
lived.
Explaining the viewpoint Of the
allied officers, he said the Germans
soon Will reach more difficult ground
TO traverse, while the British and
French retire 10 superior prepared
positions. at which the German often
sive will he stopped.
Bonbardment OF Paris by long-rangc
German artillery, General Wood told
the Senators, is not a serious military
factor. and will have no effect upon
the morale Of the French people
Men. ships and artillery. in the ordc r
named. tho general stated. arc the prin
cipai needs Of the allies from America
Training Of the American forces, the
general said, has been rapidly accom-
plished and supplies are plentiful.
SUGGESTS SEPARATE CONrOYs
OF FAST AND SLOW SHIPS
In urging the necessity for more
ships General Wood said he had sug-
gested 10 the War Department that fast
and slow ships be segregated in the
conveys. so that fast ships may not be
held back by the slower vessels
The breakdown of Russia has greatly
improved the morale of the German
army and the German people, General
Wood said He added that America
should pay more attention to the Ital.
ian situation.

ALLIES MAY DE READY
FOR COUNTERDRIVE:

That would be the psychological
moment for a counterdrive. and the
strategic reserves OF the allies would
bc kept ready for such 4 movement
The German wedge is narrowing, and
unless they are able to widen il they
cannot expect 10 retain it's apex against
4 three sided attack.
Officers expect io-morrow's reports
TO show the efforts OF the enemy to
force back the British and French lines
Oh his nanks.
Continuation oi the bombardmcnt OF
Paris with medium -calibcr shells failed
10 convince ordnance experts that
gun with Il range OF sercnty-iivc miles
had been evolved by tho Germans.
They pointed out that tho German
official statement merely sal dthat Paris
had been bombardcd with long distance
guns. without any clai mthat all pro-
vious records for gun range had been
exceeded by from 20 0to 800 rer cent,
and contendcd that eventually il would
be discovered that the shells dropped
into Paris had not travelled any such
distance This belief was based on
mathematical calculations drawn from
ordnance experience in all countries.

ENEMY MAY LAUNCH
ATTACK At ANOTHER POINT

one view expressed was that blo1:
elsewhere might follow tho checking
OF the present drive or even accom-
pnny II. Advices from Italy have in
dicated enemy concentrations on tina;
front for some time past. Attacks
along tho French lines do not appear
TO bc more than fcints At present.
OHhcers here think the enormous
forces concentrated in the drive at the
British front preclude the possibility
Of major offensive by the Germans
elsewhere. In Italy. however, masses
OF Austrian troops, formerly occupc :.
III Russia. row arc available tn
strengthen tho Austro-Ci Cicrman forces
tor a big movement.
Mention to-day OF the allied strategic
reserves. no; rs yet engaged, caused
some debate as 10 the Developments If
tho British. as is expected. bring the
German drive 10 a halt within a few
days. If the front OF the British proves
too firm to be broken. the Germans
eventually will reach a point OF ex-
haustion both OF men and supplies.

TON OF WAR BY OUR GOVERN
MENT AS A CRIME AGAINST
THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES AND AGAINST THE Ma
TIONS OF THE WORLD"
Kate O'Hare wrote and spoke
against our declaring war on Ger
many. jeanette Rankin did more than
that.
In this country, only Congress can
declare wal, and Miss Rankin, as a
member Of Congress VOTED
AGAINST WAR.
Last summer, Townley, the head of
the Non-Partisan League, got the
O'Hare woman to go into North Da-
Kota to make speeches. She spoke
against the country, against obedience
to the draft law, and against patriot
ism, and in the course Of n of her
TRADES she said that the woman who
raised a son for the American Army
was nothing more than a brood SOW
This same Townley is now going
about the state of Montana with the
lady congresswomap who voted
against war. He and jeanette Ran
kin speak from the same platforms;
they appeal to the same class. If Miss
Rankin had voted in favor Of declar-
ing war on Germany, she and Townley
wouldn't be on speaking terms. The
O'Hare woman is serving five years
in the pe~nitentiary, while jeanette
wants to serve six years in the
United States Senate. Both are friends
and supporters of Townley.

VALLEY TO HAVE
ONE DAY FAIR
Date Set For September Second
Premiums Awarded For
Grains. Needlework and
Other Exhibits.

A Valley County One Day Fair has
been arranged for Glasgow or Labor
Day, Monday, September ?, 1918. Pre-
miums will be awarded to all those
that bring in exhibits. 1t is urged that
sheafs of grain, threshed grain and
grasses, n~eedlework, boys and girls
club work exhibits. butter and eggs
be brought in for exhibition purposes.
If every exhibitor will c a pre-
MUM list of Montana State Fair and
Exposition for 1918 and follow that
list and bring in exhibits accordingly
it will be appreciated.
All exhibits that can be shipped to
the State Fair will be shipped on
September 3, thus exhibitors can win
prizes awarded at the County Fair, as
well as the State Fair and it will be
more of an incentive for every one to
bring in exhibits this year.
As the State Fair is at least three
weeks earlier his year it was deemed
advisable by the Board of County
Commissioners to hold this One Day
Fair so every farmer would have an
opportunity to bring his exhibits and
be able to win a small prize at the
County Fair before shipping same to
Helena.
AS there will be no live stock ex-
hibits it was thought best to secure
space other than at the Fair Grounds.
The Rumble Land and Abstract Co.,
have kindly donated space in their
building on the ground floor for this
occasion. All those who will bring in
exhibits will kindly advise Miss Nellie
Johnonoett, superintendent of schools;
Murray Stebbins, County Agent, or
L. E. Jones, Advisory Member Mon
tana State Fair at their earliest con-
venience.
Cooperate and. bring in your ex-
hibits. Prepare now and make this
One Day Fair a success. 1t is your
Fair and it's worth it to make it a
success. All exhibitors will be
awarded a premium.

SHOES AT

Those who want serviceable shoes, shoes that are
built for wear, will come here for them. We carry the
famous Peters shoes which are built for hard wear and
will absolutely give satisfaction. We know of dozens of
school children that their mothers buy shoes here because
of the great wear they get out Of them. We have known
of children that wore shoes bought here six and eight
months. When you buy shoes for your children you want
shoes for wear, you don't want shoes of questionable
quality. In plain words, if the shoe you buy from US
is not what it should be, bring it back and get your
money or a new pair of shoes. Our school shoes range in
price, at from .--..---.-.$1.7 rs, $1.9S, $2.25 to 1925

RANK in) SOCIALISM

Just before this country declared
war on the Hun in April, 1917, the
Socialists were publishing a paper
at st. Louis, Mo-, which was known
as the Social Revolution"
The notorious Kate Richards O'Hare
was on the editorial staff. She is
the woman who was convicted in
North Dakota for making seditious
u%tterances, and who is now serving
five years in the Federal prison at
jefferson City, Missouri.
The paper has since been barred
from the mails, but in its issue just
before war was declared it contained
an editorial from the pen of Eugene
Debs, in which he urged the working
man to stay out of the war; that it
was a rich mans war, and such rot.
In the May, 1917 number of that
dirty sheet, the O'Hare wrote
this patriotic stuff:
"We Socialists have bitterly opposed
u nation being dragged into the
world war, we oppose it still.
WE WILL RESIST CONSCRIP-
TON WITH EVERY FORCE AT
OUR COMMAND. = V
A little later, in a national owen
ton of the Socialist party, the O'Hare
woman brought in some resolutions
that were eagerly adopted, and in
those resolutions we find this choice
bit of patriotism:
