campaign has entered a new phase
at least on the British front.
Twice within twentyfour hours. the
Germans have attacked the British

wide fronts Each time, however
they were thrown back with heavy
casualties. Once, In the first attack
launched during the day yesterday
over a width of more than a mile,
south Of Houtholst wood, the Ger
mans lost some of their original
ground through British counter at
tack
The second attack came last night
on front of nearly a mile after a
bombardment lasting several hours.
The Germans drove in on both sides
Of the YpresMenin road, and were
repulsed speedily except north of the
road near Poelderhoek chateau
Some two hundred yards of tie line
which the British lost there were re-
gained in counter attacks during the
night, the positions being entirely
restored.

PlNNICk SEES
BUILDING BOOM

A stimulus in building is predicted
for Richmond this year by John Pin
nick, city building inspector. The in
terest in building is much greater
this year than it was last, and Mr.
Pinnick attributes it to the fact that
the people have accepted the was as
an established fact, and have not the
uncertainty concerning business pro
jects.
There will be few new buildings
erected this year, owing to war en-
ergencies, the inspector believes, but
great deal of Improvement will be
done. The expense of building ma
terial is not SO great now as it will
be at the close Of the war, and for
that reason it is believed improve
ment Wirk will be done now.
The largest building plan announc-
ed in Richmond at present is the con-
struction of the K. of p. temple on
South Eighth street. for which the
excavation has started. The building
is to cost about $4,000.
The report of the building inspector
for March shows eleven building per
mits issued for which the total cost
is S1S,100 The fire loss was given
as 81 ,143.

THE SOLDIER IN CIVIL LIFE

A very important accompaniment
to the governments rehabilitation
program for wounded soldiers will he
found in the attitude of the men
themselves toward that effort in their
behalf. No soldiers of any nation
have ever been cared for more sym
pathetically and none so generously
as the soldiers of the Great Republic.
After the Civil war a system of pen
sions was inaugurated, which grew to
be considerably the heaviest item of
expense of the federal government.
In favor of the Union soldier, too,
were notifications of the homestead
law, practically giving to him free
land.
But the policies adopted for the
benefit of the American soldiers in
the great European war are not only
generous, but more carefully consider
ed and wisely adapted to the soldiers
needs. In tie first place a system OF
insurance was put into effect by the
help of the government, which it is
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1918-12-18
THE FREEDOM OF INITIATIVE

Two objections to government own
ership Of the transaction lines, indeed
to government ownership of utilities
generally, whether engaged in the
public service or operated for priv
ate advantage, are reduced efficien-
cy and the encouragement of indivi-
dual initiative. There are others, such
as increased cost, the menace Of poi
teal influence, ETC., but these two are
enough to create doubt and hesita-
ton as the transfer from public to
private ownership is contemplated
Reduced efficiency is a perfectly
natural attendant of the elimination
of the induceme1t of profit. In the
case of public ownership there is
comparatively little to inspire extra
ordinary effort, to beget enterprise,
to induce the expenditure of energy
and time beyond the limit fixed by Of
ficial regulation. Advancement and
promotion are largely political favors
and there is little to induce the eff
cient to demonstrate their capacity.
But the most serious result to be
expected from the substitution of
government ownership for private is
the doing away with individual init
iative We lay lot of stress in these
days upon freedom of thought and
freedom Of speech and privileges of
that character. There is another
freedom which to our industrial and
social welfare is of the highest i'm
portance, and that is freedom of mi
tiative. Freedom Of initiative goes
with the hope of reward, and inven-
ton, discovery and the application
of scientific principles to industrial
pursuits depend very largely upon
some measure of reward. The devel-
opment of this country owes little in
these respects to government owner
ship and never will owe much. If we
have gone as far as we care to go in
the way of improved methods, improv-
ed machinery and progressive indus
trial and commercial development.
perhaps we can afford to turn over
all these things to socialized state,
but unless we have made all the pro-
gress we hope to attain, we will GER
tainly not kill the spirit of initiative
and destroy the inspiration of reward
by removing those incentives which
have hitherto produced the results
we now enjoy. Minneapolis Tribune.

Any of the exchanges that will re-

When this great day arrived troops
formed a hollow square outside the

prisoners were lined up and ordered
to stand at attention to salute the

vanced and broke the flag which flut-
