: A good sized crowd attended the
Mechanics Red Cross picnic at Riv-

Atty. Moody o. Eide delivered fine
patriotic address and mentioned the

marked that he was especially inter-
ested in that statement, as he is of
French descent, but it took Norweg-
ian to remind him of it.
On behalf of the Mechanics, Mr.. La
Fleur thanked Mr.. Eide for his splen-
did talk.
The refreshments were in charge of
Mrs. Andrew Solberg, Mrs. Frank
Benowitz and Mrs. N. LaFleur, who
sold ice cream and Bevo, the profits,

ladies also had charge Of the splendid
dinner which was served on long ia
bles in the park.
The day was ideal and the children
enjoyed the swings and other delight

The mechanics were somewhat dis
appointed that more members OF the
Minot labor organizations were not
present, as a general invitation had
been extended to them.

GERMANS LOSE l00,-
000|NLAST OFFENSIVE
Fifth Great Drive Directed Against
American and French is Broken
Up into Local Attacks-Sammies
Didn't Bulge an Inch But
Drove the Huns Back.

The fifth big German drive has
been in progress since Monday, the
Germans throwing in 20 divisions of
the elite of the Hun army against the
American sector and 20 divisions
against the French army in an at
tempt to force back the Allies at the
River Marne. The German losses
have been fully 100000, the greatest
of the entire war, considering the
short time the drive has been in pro-
gress.
The army of the Crown Prince has
been definitely checked without calling
any of the Allied reserves into action.
The Germans preceded the drive with
the fiercest bombardment in the war,
shells being thrown back miles be-
yond the Allies lines. This caused
thousands of French people to move
out of their homes. The Germans en-
ployed gas and much of the fighting
on both sides has been done with
masks on.
The Germans crossed the river
Marne in few places and drove the
French back for a short distance, oc-
cupying a strip IL miles long on the
SOuCfl Dduh VI GIlC IlNCA.
The Germans ran up against the
real thing when they attacked the Am
erican sector, the Yankees holding the
line firmly and inflicting great dam
age. The Yankees, like the soldiers in
the Revolution at Bunker Hill, were
told to wait till they could see the
white of the enemy's eyes, then they
moved them down with machine guns
and field pieces. The Germans were
so close at times that the shells fired
by the Americans would NOW down
a column of 20 men before exploding.
There was much hand>to hand fight
ing, the Yankees using guns, machine
guns, bayonets, grenades, knives and
even their fists. Very few German
prisoners were taken, and it behooved
the Germans to yell "Kamerad" quick
ly, and throw up their hands to save
themselves from the bayonet.
Several of the bridges were Destroy
I'd as the Huns tried to cross the
Marne and the accuracy of the big gun
fire was so great that several bridges
were destroyed and many Germans
killed.
The field was covered with gray
clad men and for long time, two out
of every three Germans who advanced
were either killed or wounded. The
Yankees took about 500 prisoners in
one day and much war material.
1t will be several days before the
American casualties can be made
known.
The German drive has broken up
into local attacks and the Allies con-
slider the situation as very hopeful.
Not only have the Americans held
their ground everywhere, but in many
places they have improved their posi-
tions. American and French troops
counter attacking on a front Of four
miles, south Of Dormans, have driven
the Huns back 5000 yards, or about
two miles.
The Germans claim they have cap
tured $4,000 prisoners since the Of
fensive began.

CHANGE Of VENUE
FOR 7|CKN0R
AND PARR|0TT
Man Charged With Murder of De-
vaney and GOWN to Be Tried at
Towner-rarriott Charged With
TIE R0bberies.

District court, which opened Mon
day, came to sudden end Tuesday ev-
ening when Judge Leighton dismissed
the entire jury.
The criminal calendar, which was
short, was brot to an end suddenly
when change of venue was granted
to Clark M Ticknor, facing double
charge of murder, in the death of Of
ficer Pat Devaney and Special Agent
kersey NJ. GOWN, who were shot to
death by auto tire bandits mile
northeast of the city. Ticknor's case
will be tried at Towner, McHenry
county. The court appointed Atty.
Mark NJ. Chatfield as attorney to de-
fend Ticknor. There seems to be lit
tie doubt as to the guilt of Ticknor,
as Arthur Buck, who is now serving
time, having pleaded guilty to these
same offenses, implicated Ticknor,
saying that he was present at the time
of the shooting, and actually fired sew
eral shots, some Of which may have
taken effect.
A change of venue was also grant,
ed in the case of ]. A. Parriott, for
mer Minot pigger, who is charged
with stealing auto tires, two charges
having been filed against him. Par
riott is said to have hauled Ticknor
and Shirley, who is now doing time
for stealing tires, to various towns in
this section of the state. Parriott will
also be tried at Towner. His attorney
is Francis ]. Murphy.
J. w. Foley, a farmer from the
southern part of the county, entered
a plea of guilty to the charge of re-
chattel property from the
county. A stay of sentence was
granted, giving Foley an opportunity
to harvest his crop.
A continuance was granted in the
case against l. M. Ingebretson, for
mer county treasurer from Rolette
county, who is charged with issuing
fraudulent tax statements. 1t is
claimed that the treasurer would col
lect few dollars more for taxes than
the property owner owed, paying the
rightful amount to the county and
pocketing the balance. His lady dep
uty is said to have already pleaded
guilty to a similar offense.

LIEUT.. R0SELu Of
italian army TO
SPEAK sunday
Noted Italian Officer Sent to America
Under Auspices of Italian Embas-
sy Will Deliver Great Message.

Lieut.. Bruno Roselli, a noted Ital-
ian officer, who was sent to America
to deliver a message to the American
people, in behalf of the Italian army,
will speak in Minot Sunday evening,
July 21, under the auspices of the
Italian Embassy, at 9 o'clock.
This will be wonderful opportun-
ity Of hearing man entirely familiar
with the great Italian military organ
ization, and a man who has done his
share in saving the world from the
ravages of the Huns.
He has appeared in the largest
American cities. since coming to this
country, where he has delighted vast
audiences with his simple, earnest, d.
rect English. The Lieutenant is COM
ing from the West, having spoken at
Seattle and other important points.
The fact that Minot could secure him
at all is due to the fact that the trip
east is long.
Lieut. Roselli may speak in the op-
era house, but should the crowd be SO
large that it will be impossible for all
to hear him, Pres. Clarke Of the Nod
NAL school, who has charge Of the ar
ranSeIneuCS, Hldy arrange Luz e1LAeI
an overflow meeting or an out of door
meeting, the weather permitting.
The Lieutenant will speak at the
Normal Monday morning and will
speak at the monday luncheon Of the
Rotary club that day.
No one who can possibly attend
should miss this great lecture. Italy,
after it's reverses last fall, has come
back gloriously and has driven the
Hun invaders back. The Lieutenant
will give us mighty interestino in
sight into the workings Of the Italian
army. Italy still needs aid from the
United States and who knows but
what the war will be brought to an
end thru gigantic drive up thru Aus
tria?
Lieut.. Roselli's lecture is free.

Great Picture Coming to the Arcade.

Great Picture Coming to the Arcade.
Events IN the moving picture world
follow each other rapidly these days
with the keen competition between
theatre managers over the biggest and
best attractions.
The manager Of the Arcade Theatre
captured the big prize of the season
when he secured the big Edison con-
trlbution to American war drama,
"The Unbeliever." This story, adapt
ed from Mary Raymond Shipman An
drews' novelette,, The Three Things" !"
was directed by Allan Grassland, and
stars Raymond Mckee and Marguerite
Courtot, the one as brave and chiv-
alrous United States Marine; the
other as a young Belgian girl enmesh-
ed in the horror and tragedy of the
Great War. Supporting these prin-
cipals are Darwin Karr, we'll known
as a player in the early military
dramas; Eric Won Stroheim, and Off
GERS and men of the United States Ma
rine Corps. A touch of realism and
unquestioned military authenticity is
given to this great production by the
stage setting Of the Marine War Can
tonment at Quantico, Virginia, and Ly
the participation of regiment Of
Marines, commanded by their own Of
ficers.
The plot of the story contains every
element Of interest, the appeal to ma
tional pride and patriotism, the de-
velopment of mans soul, friend
ship that regards self-sacrifice as a
privilege and a great and chivalrous
love story. Mr.. Grosskopf of the Ar
cade is to be congratulated upon his
discrimination in selecting the epic
photoplay Of the year to show his pa
irons next week for run of four days
commencing July %.
Mr. Grosskopf advises US that he
has interviewed several people who
have seen ''The Unbeliever" and all
say it is 100 per cent better than
cover the Top" which you saw short
time ago at this theatre.

Dear Folks at Home:

body could live under the terrific shell

will be history over in the States by
the time you receive this letter. You
wouldn't think that men had the cour-
age to advance under the fire that we
did, and not retreat, but we certainly
did put the Huns on the run.
The fighting here is all on top OF
the ground, as neither side has had
time to dig in. That has something
to do with the casualties. Of course,
that has always been the American
way Of fighting and we certainly DID
nut the fear into the Boche.
