Drive Puts Paris i'm
Greatest Peril of War

lRy Newspaper Enterprise Association)
Paris is facing the grayest danger OF
capture by the Germans IL has been
In since their sweep to the Marne in
1914
As the Hlndenburg offensive contin-
ues. 1t becomes more and more evident
that the German strategy is bent on
reaching the French capital.
II is extremely unlikely that the Huns
can reach their objective. Even II the
advance brings the German hordes TO
the very outskirts Of the city. the Al
lies have sufficient reserves OF three
armies-French. British and American
to hold the foe as they did on the
Somme. The defenses OF Paris are the
strongest in France.
"They Shall Not Passr'
But il will require all the able gen
eralship OF the Allied high command to
stem the German onrush before II be-
comes a real menace TO the city
The German strategy is now plain.
n seeks 10 drive a wedge into the Al
lied line id the Champagne equal in
extent TO that great salient driven into
il in Picardy. To make this great trir
angular dent. the Germans have devot-
ed their heaviest attacks 10 the center
Of the line and TO the region about
Scissors.
II they can reach the Msrne before
General Foch can stop them. and ex-
tend their advance southwark and west
ward as far as the city OF Meaux, p
miles from Paris. the advance will equal
that in Picsrdy-perhaps exceed II a
little.
Thus two great wedges will be
sledge-hammered into the French line

the intention OF flank attack on the
French in Picardy.
To succeed. this German strategy re-
quires Won Hlndenburg TO keep up his
hammering blows incessantly. II he
stops for a minute he puts his line in
danger OF a flank attack by the French
on either his right or his left wing
General Foch's chief strategy has
been TO give up ground and save lives,
while that Of the Germans has been
Just the opposite. To the casual OBJ
server, II would seem that the Allies
efforts should be devoted to stemmins
the German rush on Paris at all costs
As a matter Of fact. the foregoing In
dicates that far better strategy Is 10

consolidate the Picardy and Champagne
fronts. and make a flnal stand for VIC
tory.
Therefore a further retreat OF the Al
lied armies must be looked upon as
inevitable. But II must be taken into
consideration that the Germans gain
ground by flghting every foot Of the
way and suffering enormous losses. In
comparison with the number Of men
engaged, it viii be found when the lg-
urss are received that the Teutonic
losses will be every bit as heavy as
they were during the March drive
The Allies. on the other hand. will
lose heavily In munitions and supplies
but will conserve their man-power.
II Is likely that the German plan con-

to friends in Montana, asking them
how to take a claim. They told her,

her $24. Later she took 100 acres

RECEIVERS TAXES FOR STATE
North Dakota Nenpartisan Auditor
Digs Up Money People
Would Have Lost.

Among the persons who regard the
Nonpartisan league as menace
the tax dodgers may be prominently
mentioned. That the fears of these
left handed patriots were fully justi-
fled may be judged from a statement
by Auditor Kcsitzky, who was
elected in North Dakota on the Non
partisan ticket. "
From Jan. 1, 1917" said Mr.. Ko-
sticky, 1--WE have collected $4,000
in inheritance taxes which have
been paid into the county treasures,
but of which we had no record here.
81, 900 has been collected in fines
and penalties paid into the county
treasures as far back as twenty years
ago, but never turned over to the
state; disputed accounts for the care
of the insane, extending back ten
years and more, have been adjusted
and collected to the amount Of $685.
600; $4,000 has been collected In
old state taxes, some of Which dated
from 1897; $4,000 has been collected
in school taxes from Ward county
alone; $4,000 or more in school land
moneys held by various counties has
been collected and turned into the
state treasurer, and we have added
to the tax rolls of the state over 200
telephone companies not previously
assessed.

Mr.. Heney charged the Chicago
packers had drawn rings around some
of the Independent plants still in
operation and had attempted to drain
the supply of cattle and hogs in the
Independent buying territory.
This question was brought up by
a letter from the Philadelphia branch
house of Swift & Co., to the branch
house provision department of the
company at Chicago, with reference
to the entrance of the HORNED Pack

Wilson & Rogers sell these goods

CANADA FINANCED
DR0UTH STRICKEN
Tremend Gus Returns for Govern.
ment Aid to Wheat Growers
of Northwest.

In the autumn of 1914 Canadian far
mers faced a situation similar to
what those in many sections of the
United States now face. Canada was
in war and needed every possible
bushel of grain. There had been ser
ious crop losses the year before.
Something more than haranguing the
farmers had to be done, and Canada
did it. The government advanced
100000 to the farmers Of the West
ern provinces. Then when the crop
was ripe it put on real campaign
for farm labor, even drawing over
5000 men from our central west.
What was the result? The wheat
crop of 1914 was only 161, 2S0, 200
bushels, while that of 1915 amounted
to 1896, 25S, 900 bushels. This differ
ence of 174,97S,00O bushels represent
ed the finest returns nation ever
received on an investment.

Baer Bill Similar.

The Baer bill now before congress
provides a similar foresighted policy
for the United States. If passed it
will place $50,OO0,O00 at the disposal
of the Government for aid to needy
farmers that they may put in war
crops this year. With large sections
of Texas, Montana, North Dakota and
Minnesota hit by crop and stock
losses and with needy farmers num-
bering in the hundreds of thousands
this appropriation will yield handsome
returns. Canada's foresight in 1914
saved her from wheatless days In
1915. A similar policy will save US
from these days and our allies from
acute hunger. Canadian experience
shows that businesslike aid is better
than headlines in the city press ana
better than campaigns of insults and
expensive urging against the farmer.

Must Safeguard Business.
On September 81 last, Senator Jonn
A W Weeks in behalf OF the Repub-
licans. introduced in the Senate the
now celebrated resolution calling TOT
the creation by congress OF ComM.
tee Of Reconstruction. This RepuoH-
can idea provides that a bipartisan
committee of twelve, three Democrats
and three Republicans from the SEN
ate. with three Democrats and three
Republicans from the house, snaii pe
Immediately appointed to unoertaKe
an investigation OF all the propieMs
that are likely to come under the nead
Of Reconstruction; that all avaliapie
data shall be collected and tnat rec
concentrations for legislation-ieglsla-
ton to safeguard our workmen ana
our business interests-be prepared
for submission to congress.
In this way the ground work woulo
be prepared and the underbrush clear
ed away from the tangle OF compllca-
lions which the nation now races.
But, Mr.. Richmond workmen, the
emocratic-controlled Senate has done
nothing toward putting the admirable
Weeks plan into effect, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Democratic or
ganization in Richmond has become
hoarse with shouting that the saiva-
ton of the working man rests with
the Democratic party and It's free
trade law.
Representative Richard N. Elliott,
the Republican congressional nomi-
nee, who has represented this district
in congress in such an admirable man
ner during this grave period IN our
history, is a staunch friend OF the
working man and he has supported
President Wilson's war measures
without question, record quite
number Of Democratic members or
congress cannot say for themselves.
ElIiott's Record.
Since entering congress Mr.. Elliott
has had an opportunity of voting On
three measures directly effecting la
Dor and on each occasion he has voted
in the interests of labor, namely:
He supported in the house and be-
fore the committee on postal affairs
the bill granting increase In pay 10
members of two postal service organ
izations, the postoffice clerks and the
carriers.
He supported the Nolan bill estab-
fishing a minimum wage for govern
ment employees, measure Whlch
benefits hundreds Of thousands or
men and women in the employment
of Uncle Sam.
He worked with Representative No.
Ian, labor's great friend, to kill a Sec
ton of a senate bill, known as the
work or fight" amendment, which, II
Il had not been killed. would have
made it unlawful for employees in gov
eminent contract factories to strike.
He regarded such a provision as an IN
suit to the working men and women
of the United States who have so
nobly done their bit for Uncle Sam
during the war.
Mr.. Elliott, incidentally, has re-
ceived the Endorsement OF the editor
of the oldest labor paper in the Unit
ed States, The Union, published IN In
dianapolis. This Endorsement was CIV
en- in the issue of the Union OF OCT.
%, last. The article urges Mr.. Eli
liott's reelection.
