Overshadowed
BY Her Ancestors

In one or two respects Italy is
quite unlike other countries. She
is overshadowed, as it were, by her
ancestors. Americans who visit
England think much more of
Shakespeare's country than they
do of the humdrum dwellings of
modern men and women. 1t must
be so. And when we think of Italy
the names which greet our minds
are Rome, Siena, Pisa, Ravenna,
Venice, Florence - particularly
Rome. This mistress of civiliza-
ton stands for three ideas, first,
the conception Of law-Roman law
which we are defending against
Germany; secondly, the Church,
and, thirdly, the Italian monarchy
and nation. Of these three ideas
obviously the third is the latest,
and, therefore, the least familiar.
To countless millions Rome sug-
gests a Pope and not a king. St.
Peters and the Vatican, with the
Sistine Chapel, are better known
than the Quirinal- And this means
that the genius Of Italy has to sup
port a double labor Not only do
Italians provide statesmen for their
own secular guidance, but they
furnish ecclesiastics for the spirit
ual guidance of the entire Roman
Catholic world. No nation any
where sustains an empire SO
strange, so intangible, yet so
ancient and continuous, as this Yet

an imagination which for thousands
of years has never failed to yield
triumphs of poetry, painting,
sculpture and architecture. Under
duress Of poverty this initiative
has turned sometimes TO socialism,
and even to that curious phenome-
non, the Camorra in Sicily, which,
like the now legendary wonders of
the wild West, will afford material
for generations of the more coura-
geous novelists. What Italy needs
and what she fights for is the Sc
curity and the repose which will al
low her great gifts to ripen into
noble achievement.

Pierre, July 12.-Under the law

the county files a statement of the
fact with the state treasurer during

Stanley and Haakon. Some other
counties have appointed county
agents, so far as is known without

treasurer, but may do so during July
and these counties are Hutchinson,
Jackson, Sully and Turner. Any
county can take advantage of this
act and aid by complying with the
conditions.

PATRIOTIC STATE
DIR. VAN ZILE so CLASSES SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Vermillion, July 1T don't
need to preach patriotism in South
Dakota" said DR.. Edward s. Van
Zile, editorial writer of the New
York Sun, speaking for the National
Security league at the University of
South Dakota. These great western
states" he said, ARE meeting every
demand made upon them by the fed
eral government and in this | believe
they are typical of the whole nation
which is responding and will continue
to respond to the last dollar and the
last man in the struggle with the
German people.
There is one important fact that
we Americans must keep ever before
us and that is that German propagan-
da in the United States is a snake
that has been scotched, not killed.
This propaganda will next manifest
itself by squawking peace, peace as
soon as the Germans are rolled be-
yond the Rhine. They will say that
we should stop shedding American
blood on foreign soil as soon as we
possibly can. My only SON Is in
Europe. My two sons-in-law are in
Europe. They are in the trenches on
the western front. / say to you, as
one American to another, that we will
dishonor ourselves as a nation IL,
with a single man alive or a single
dollar left, we entertain for an in
slant the disgraceful possibility of
negotiating peace at a table at which
are seated either the kaiser of Ger
many, the kaiser of Austria. the sui
tan of Turkey or the car of Bulga-
ria. We must smash thrones and
crowns and negotiate with the people
themselves If we win a peace that is
worth the precious blood we are she'd
ding for it,"

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Madison women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backache. hip pains, headaches, dir
zy spells, distressing urinary trou-
bles, are frequent indications of weak
kidneys and should be checked in
time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for
the kidneys only. They attack kid
ney diseases by striking at the cause.
Here's proof of merit in a Madison
woman's words:
Mrs. H. G.. Killion, 7l2 Blanche
avenu N, says: II had attacks OF
lumbago and my back ached and was
so lame / could hardly straighten up
when l bent over. 1 was miserable
all the time and my work was often
neglected. I felt tired out and Ian
guild and had dizzy headaches. My
kidneys acted irregularly and were
sluggish. Doan's Kidney Pills
strengthened my kidneys. My back
was soon all right and l felt better
every way. My kidneys acted reg
ularly and naturally"

SOLDIERS FUNERAL
DIED AT CAMP FUNSTON-BUR.
led AT LENNON.

Lennox, July 1.-THE funeral of
III. b. Burma, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Burma, who died at Camp Fun
ston, took place here Sunday. The
service was held at the Presbyterian
church, Rev. Saathaff and DR.. Burma
a cousin of the deceased, vice presi-
dent of the Presbyterian college at
Ia, officiating. Bad roads
and threatening weather deprived
many from paying the last respect to
the dead soldier boy. Nevertheless
it was by far the largest funeral pro-
cession ever witnessed in Lennox.
Nearly a thousand people in single
file passed by the casket to give a
farewell look to the boy who died in
the service of his country. He had
been sick for about four months with
a complication of diseases which fl
nally developed into pneumonia.
Henry b. Burma was born April
&c. 1896, called into service Septem-
Der 81. 1917. He was a member of
the 314th French mortar battery.
He died July 3 at the base hospital,
Fort Riley, Kan. He was a young
man of good morals and respected by
all who knew him.

GET BULLETS
DAKOTAN SAYS YANKS TAKE NO
CHANCES WITH THE HUNS.

Sioux Falls, July 1T heard
one German say to one of our boys,
'Kamerad.' Yes said one of our
boys, here is a comrade.' and gave
him a bullet"
Thus writes Priavte John Roberti,
a Mobridge boy, who is a member of
a machine gun battalion now on &C
tive service in France. He has been
in the trenches for about three
months, and writes an interesting
letter of personal experiences. Ex-
planning the shooting of the German
after he apparently had surrendered,
Roberti writes:
The Germans are kind of tricky
and lots of times they play this COM
rade stuff, and, of course, n of our
boys will go up and take him prison
er, and then up from behind him pops
a German with a hand grenade and
tells him to throw up his hands and
takes him prisoner. That is what the
Germans do quite often, but our boys
are getting on to them and it sure
is no fun out in No Mans Land"
The incident described took place
during a fight between American and
German patrols. Speaking of the
decoration Of American soldiers with
service stripes, Roberti writes:
II have a gold service stripe COM
ing next month and l have a blue
stripe now for serving three months
in the trenches. We will have stripes
all yer us by the time We get back
to the States. l rather think the war
will last another year; those darn
Germans don't seem to give up vet"
Referring to a fight in the air
which he witnessed he writes: Il
saw an awful sight when a French
man downed a German plane. The
Frenchman set the German plane on
fire at a height of 1000 feet. One
OF the Germans jumped from the
plane and the other stayed right In
the machine. Both men were badly
burned. I have e the wreck and
have a couple of souvenirs of the
plane"

YANKEE KILLS SELF
TO SAVE COMPANIONS
Picks Up Bomb in Dugout, Makes
Barrier of Body and Awaits
Explosion.

Somewhere In France there are four
American soldiers who owe their lives
to the courage and sacrifice of q com
panion, who deliberately killed himself
in order that they might live. The
story of the soldiers bravery has been
brought back to America by an ord
nance officer who had been at the
front.
The soldier had been on duty at an
outpost Strengthening the pins in hand
grenades. After being relieved he re-
turned to his dugout, where three of
his pals were sleeping. The fourth lay
awake on a bunk. The returning sol
der had scarcely entered the dugout
when bomb fell out of his GOA
pocket, and, as it fell, the Strengthened
safety pin slipped out. The soldier
realized that within five seconds an ex-
plosion would probably kill every man
in the dugout.
He had time to get through the door
and leave his companions TO their
death. Just what passed through the
soldiers mind In the next two or three
seconds no man can eve tell. He
reached a decision quickly. The brave
soldier picked up the grenade, crept
into a corne of the dugout, made q
barrier out of his body and was in
stantly killed when the bomb exploded.
His pals escaped injury.

Paves Way for Invasion.

In view of the vitality important vic
tories being scored by Gen. Foch's
British, American and French armies
operating in the st. Quentin Cam
brai regions popular interest for the
moment has been diverted from the
section between the Meuse and Ar
gonne forest, where Gen. Pershing's
forces are operating. But present ac-
tivites there will have vital bearing
IN the development of general allied
plans for the invasion OF Germany.
Following the elimination of the st.
Mihiel salient which brought Ameri-
can forces on practically a straight
line before Metz, the French and
Americans began their drive to the
northwest Of Verdun. Steady progress
has been scored. French and Ameri-
cans by their determined, persistent
work have cleared out one of the Ger
mans main defensive nests on the
western front, one designed primarily
to frustrate just what is about to hap
pen-invasion of Lorraine by Per
shing's men.
With American armies in advan-
tageous position to strike east of the
Meuse it was vitally essential that
menace be removed to the west of the
river. This is what Pershing has done.
Furthermore, his continued hammering
tactics have driven the enemy back on
his main defensive line between Cunel
and Romagne. This operation brings
the Americans closer to Montmedy in
the direction of Sedan, and with much
further enemy retirement will place
Pershings army where he can bring
direct pressure to bear against the
Metz and Briey regions from the west,
thereby placing into operation a flank
ing movement against the German
army, which is directly before Metz.
With concerted pressure from the
front and from the northwest the fall
of Metz can be accomplished with
greater ease than if the Americans de-
pended solely upon frontal attack to
achieve their objective. Pershings op-
erations are we'll worth watching from
strategical standpoint alone.

There are no votes anywhere IN the

better plan is to make the record when
the record is due, and stand upon it
without apology, and with only such
explanations as misrepresentation may
have made necessary.

Speculation as to the result reflects the
usual campaign extravagances. at is

cratic managers. "The democrats will
be distaneed," reply the republican
managers. AS matter of fact, there
is such cloud of dust flying that the
strongest field glasses glued to the
sharpcst and most experienced eyes are
unequal today to placing the contest
ants. The race may be a walkaway for
one or the other, or it may prove, as
that of 1916 did, very close.
