PITS AND SHELLS
FOR GAS MASKS


The War Department has requested
the boys and girls clubs of the country
to help collect fruit pits and nutshells,
the carbon in which is used in making
gas masks. Contests have been sug-
gested among the million club members
Of the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture and the state agricultural col
leges, which conduct the club work. to
see which member, which club. which
district, and which state can deliver
the largest amount of material in the
shortest time. Each member should try
to furnish at least 200 peach pits, or Z
pounds OF shells enough material for
one mask. Since more and better car
bon is secured from the pits Of peaches,
prunes and plums than from other
sources, boys and girls should make it
their special business to see that every
home in their communities saves the
pits Of these fruits. They should also
visit community and commercial can
neries, hotels, restaurants, and bakeries.
In addition, seeds should be collected
from dates and olives, and shells and
whole nuts be saved FROM hickory nuts,
butternuts, English and native walnuts,
and hazelnuts. The material may be
delivered to the local Red Cross head
quarters, which are acting as central
stations for collecting and ahlpping.

The organization Of the party oorn-
mlttses ct Bismarck ON Wednesday
settled the issues OF the campaign Ia
this state II they were not already cot
tied by the result Of the primary cleo
ton in June. AS was expected the
Republican committee was in COM
plete control Of the Nonpartisan organi.
zatlon and the officers. executive COM
mittee and platform are wholly Non
partisan. Mr.. Townley's organization
made : poor showing in the Democratic
committee receiving but four votes on
test questions, the result Of the organi-
cation Of the Democratic party. There
can be no claim on the part OF anyone
that the platform adopted at Bismarck
for the Republican party is in any sense
a Republican platform. It resembles !
regular Republican platform as much y
black looks like white. The Nonparti;
san organization has succeeded in bring
ing about nonpartisanshlp within it:
own ranks, and forced it upon those
who oppose its candidates and princi
pies. Republicans and Democrats
within the Noppartisan organization
will "stlck" to their ticket and plotforn
and the logic of the situation will line
up the Republicans and Democrats out
side of that organization to ''stick'' fol
the other fellows. Grafton Record.

have been lifelong Socialists. When we
say leaders, we mean those who are die
= .ting the policy Of the ,Nonpartisan
party. There are several fgureheads
such as Governor Frazier, who are
prominent in the party but who have
but little influence in forming the plat
form or directing the expenditure Of the
Sl6 donated by each member.
In Idaho, the Townley organization
captured the Democratic organization
Of that state and are in control of the
policy Of the party IN the state,
In Boise, Mr.. Townley and his lieu
tenants will dictate the platform of the
Democratic party the same as they have
dictated the Republican platform at Bis
marck. How far the rank and file Of
the Republicans of North Dakota will
follow the dictates of Mr.. Townley at
the general election. remains to be seen.
Mr.. Townley stands charged with be-
ing identified with the Socialist party
before he organized the Nonpartisan
League and was an! active worker in
that organization. The Socialist party
has been doing everything in its power
to hamper the progress of President
Wilson n the prosecution Of the war.
Many of its members have been convict
ed and are serving sentences in federal
prisons. Mr.. Townley's utterances on
the platform, on several occasions, were
to the effect that he opposed the war
policy of the government, and only the
drastic measures of the authorities,
made him and his supporters change
their method of speech,
There is something more important
than tariff reform, government control
of utilities, ETC., involved in the present
campaign. The fathers and mothers of
the boys from this state, who are fight
ing IN the trenches in Flanders, are in-
terested In seeing that their boys have
the unanimous support from home.
The Pioneer Express believes in Re-
publican principles. We believe that
the principles OF the Republican party
has made the United States one of the
greatest nations in the world. But these
issues are secondary now. We believe
that in the next general election the
thinking voter, whether he has donated
SIG to the Nonpartisan cause or not,
will support candidates from state Of
ficials to members Of congress, whom
they know are firmly behind President
Wilson in these, the most strenuous
days of our national history.
The majority OF the members Of the
Nonpartisan party mean we'll, but the
leaders, who have complete control Of
the organization, are wrong and accord
ing to their past record. they have al
ways been wrong.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
G.G. Thompson

The American army in France are
within three miles OF Metz, the famous
German fortress, and the large siege
gums are pounding away at it with vigor.
This famous fort was surrendered to the
Germans in 1871.
All week the allies have been meeting
with stubborn resistance from the
enemy on the western front but the
German lines have been giving away to
: the superior forces Of the three army
corps.
Yesterdays reports show that the
British and French veterans have made
another successful smash at the Hinden-
burg line. Sweeping forward on a front
Of % miles. they went ahead from ~ to
8 miles, taking many prisoners. The
most important aspect of the advance is
that 1T makes more certain the capture
OF ST. Quentin, which the Germans have
been ordered to hold at all costs. This
important city is virtually surrounded
on three sides and its fall seems only q
matter OF days.
While. the French advance was less
spectacular than that OF the British,
with whom they co-operated. they were
equally successful in gaining their OBJ
iectives. They moved forward on a
front Of six miles to an average depth of
miles, adding several hundred pris.
oners to the British bag. They now
hold the southern outskirts Of Confess
court, less than three miles from the
suburbs Of st. Quentin.
While the British and French were
forging ahead relentlessly in the west.
tho Serbians and the French in Mace.
donia were making more emphatic their
defeat Of the Bulgars, who have been
reinforced BY German troops. There is
every Indication that the offensive IN
I the near east is Of major proportions,
and that It will deyelep to the limit. It
has widened 70 the west of.sokol and
east Of Vetrenik, until the front extends
4 over l6 miles. The allies have penetrat-
edS q some points distance d ton
miles. The resistance of King F,erdi-
b troops is weakening % they are
/ foFced baek.
