ADJUSTING TIE BOUNDARY LINE

When so much trouble is being caused and so much is being said about the rectification of borders, it is impossible to overlook the amicable manner in which this country and Canada has. adjusted the question Of the boundary between the state of Minnesota and the province of On tario. There is not a. large amount of territory involved but both sides had considered that they were right They had maintained open minds regarding it and now they welcome the chance to adjust the matter on a sensible basis The boundary in dispute covered a matter of but 40 miles of wooded and watered land and. so far as known possessing no mineral wealth of grea. importance, although it is in that re- gion that iron deposits are known to exist.
 By the rectifcation of the boundary this country gives up something over 5000 square miles but it does so in agreement. with it's northern neighbor and even those people involved in the transfer have interposed no objection being satisfied apparently to abide by the decison whatever it might be- This certainly means that they realize that they do not stand to lose by the change
 The action shows how closely and tremendously the two governments are working together. Because of war conditions they are probably closer now than they have been at other times and for that reason an auspic- ious time was chosen to decide this matter and it is quite evident that there is going to be nothing but the best of feeling over the result. It is a dispute we'll settled, but the method used is seldom adopted save on this side of the water.

 The spirit of the army was high. but to save France 1t was necessary to discover the root of the trouble Through the army intelligence service it was learned among other things E that the Bonnet Rouge was receiving money from Germany through Swift zerland. This paper had been former ly employed by Caillaux as his of ficial mouthpiece. The editor was ar rested, he hinted at what he might disclose and was mysterfously mur- dered in his cell Then the whole staff of the Bonnet Rouge was seized as well as other pacifist editors, and the Ribot ministry, which had been practi- cally nominated by CaiIlaux himself, attempting to sidetraek the prescott tion ingloriously went down to defeat. Painieve succeeded Ribot as premier Caillaux's name in the Bernstorff- : LuXburg dispatches as an intimate of these German statesmen. Even in the face of all this evidence Caillaux went confidently on just as he had done through the Figaro campaign.

The great spring offensive is at last onl It began last Thursday at dawn with an unprecedentedlys heavy she'll
 ing from hundreds of German guns stretched all along the fifty mile front from Arras on the north to La F'ere. High. explosive and gas shells were rained on the British positions from front to rear for four hours. Then came the German infantry in massed formation, Such close order had not been seen since the early days of the war. when the Teutons tried the same method of assault in the hope of breaking through quickly. The ad- vaneing troops presented the finest kind of target for the British artill- cry, rifles and machine guns and they were moved down by the thousands As the front ranks fell the succeeding waves would fill in the gaps and thus with prodigal expenditure of human life the British lines were taken. Ger tain British units inevitably were sacrificed to cover the retreat of the main army to the prepared positions in the rear: Along the northern end of the line this retreat was slight, 'but opposite St. Quentin the withdraw amounted to as much as ten miles by Saturday. The mere taking of the al TeaGy fulne0. .-lefT1IOFya IS or no 1nlpOrL 1 The question is what price the ad- vancing enemy have been forced tC pay. This has evidently been enorm- ous. The apparent object of the drive at this point is to break through be- tween the British and French armies Should this be done, the situation would indeed be serious. for practically all of France would be cut off iron the channel ports whence come the supplies from England and all unior between the two armies would be lost
 The satisfying part of the awful strug. gle is that the Germans have found no new weapon of frightfulness that like the first use of gas might pos. sibly have caught the Allies unawares
 The sole method of fighting was tht weight of men and metal that could be brought to bear. The metal may last but the men must give out eventu- ally.

Persistent and repeated. demands have been made upon the people of this country to save wheat. The same effort has also been made to increase production but just now we are not only being called upon to supply our own needs and to look out for the de- rnands at home but we must take care Of constantly increasing number of soldiers across the water and at the same time we must spare all that we can to meet the needs of the allied aud neutral nations which are depend Ing upon us. -r
 Our opportunities for growing more wheat are almost unlimited. With the proper effort and satisfactory weather conditions there can be little question bns what the crop for this year will bs Ereafer than ever We have cer-

 tain surplus on hand but it must be made to serve until the new crops come in, while it is to be remembered that wheat can be transported much better than other grains without de- terioration and particularly at this season of the year.
 The shortage of wheat is much more marked than that of other grains and it therefore behooves the people of this country to eliminate so far as possible the wheat consumption by substituting corn, rye, oats, barley, rice and potatoess There are those who have gone the limit in this re- sspect and yet there are others who have hardly gotten started and it is this latter class which has the greater opportunity for bringing about the de- sired results. With other cereals plentiful and wheat getting scarce there ought to be no question as. to which should be used if everyone is anxious to- do his part ~fse

THE SUPREME TEST.

r. is quite evident from the fight ing which is taking place on the west ern front that terrific losses are being suffered. Both sides are of course feeling the effects of the great drive where Germany is giving no consid- cration tO the human sacrifice in it's effort to attain its object, but there ian be no question but what the Teu- ton loss Is by far the greater and ev- Cry foot of ground gained means the wiping out Of thousands and thous- Hnds of its best fighters.
 Thus as the German forces 20 ahead they are losing their strength much faster than are the allies, who while their casualty list is bound to be heavy. the number Of their troops cap- tured large and the loss of war. ma serials big are bound 10 be in bet ter position Co strike back and do SC effectively when the time comes thar their opponents will be 10 resist it.
 The retreat Of the British and French has been over the ground which Hindenburg considered it ad- Fisabe to part with last year. The same tactics are being used and while Their lines have been bent back they are stil intact and the advance which ihe enemy with it's massed formations is making each day is steadily grow ing less.
 Everything points to the fact that Germany intends to make this the su- preme test As the result of it the Imperial German government and the German people can tell which side is the stronger. but from all indications I the alice are doing no different than they had planned and it is confidently believed that they have the resource. in men and guns capable of holding the Huns and pushing them bacl when the proper moment arrives.

BuLeARlANs AND AMERICANS.

Some surprise has been expressed that Germany has called Bulgarian troops to the western front in view of the help wi1ichsft has been able to get from it's own soldiers and those from Austria released from service on the Russian front, and in view offthe fact that the claim has been made that Bulgaria would like to get out of the war, No reliance, however, can be placed on this latter claim.
 It is Ia well known fact that all of the central powers are under the di- rection of the imperial German gov ernment. They are not doing what they choose to do but they are going according to German direction, so that when Germany calls for Bulgarian troops Bulgaria dares do nothing else but respond But for the fact that Turkey is having troubles of its own it might be expected that it's soldiers would be called to the western battle line and it is possible that they will yet show up there or against the Ital- ians.
 Germany is determined to make this great drive a success if such is possible.4 It has therefore gathered all possible reserves and Bulgaria must do its part The fact that Bulgaria and the United States are not at war makes no difference, It may be tha; none of the Bulgarian troops will be called upon to face American guns, but rhere need to be no question as tc what will happen should they be en- countered by the Americans. The fact that there has been no declara- ton of war between the two countries will make no difference They arg fighting with the enemy and just as sure as they attack Americans as well as British or French, the Ameri- can troops will not attempt to spare them because there has been no for maj war deelaration.
