in spite OF official warnings to the
contrary, are hoping Tor peace with

sooner this Jump in value will take

One day traveller came to a vii

citizens stood in a discouraged and
exhausted fashion about a ilagpolc.
And who are these men asked
the traveller.
They are patriotic citizens, he
was told. who are irving TO raise
the flag to the top OF the pole. Each
one. however. has his own method.

very strong and determined to raise

raised az all.
This Is very interesting, said the
traveller.
He approached the group and ad-
dressed it. Patriots he said. 'if YOU
will stand with me a moment and all
pull the rope steadily IN one dircc-
lion your object will be accom-
pli,hed'
But we have different ideas OF
direction they told him.
We will discuss those afterward,
said the traveller. in the meantime
let us take one long. strong pull to-
gether and sec what happens.
With much distrust his suggestion
was acted upon. the flag went swift

WAR SUMMARY
lRr The Associated Press.)

DIV Ilt .ANSbNlhNN ! 'N''''
Savagely attacking the German
line, in Belgium, the British, French
and Belgian forces have captured
Roulcrs and carried their line far
toward Courtrai and Thourout In
reports FROM the front there ale in
G.. cations that the German lines
have been pierced and that the en-
cmy is retrcating rapidly.
ON the other extreme OF the bat
tie line American troops have car
ricd their lines well past the Kricm-
hid position west OF the Meusc
river. They are now holding a front
that runs from north OF Cunel. north
OF Romagnc and thence northwest
wardly to the vicinity OF St, George 5
at which village it turns to the
southwest and meet, the French
line sat Grand Pre-.
French and Italians Sweep On.
French and Italian forces are
slowly sweeping the Germans back
from the l.aon salient. They are
now well to the east OF the Laon-
a-Ferc road, and have kept up A
steady pressure against the enemy
along the Disc valley to the north
east OF La Ferc. The allied blow
in Belgium appears to be one which
will have a direct bearing on the
course OF the mighty battle that IS
being Wagcd over the battle line
from Dixmudc to erdun. The
progress made against the Germans
on the first day OF the offensive
seems to indicate that it is possible
for the allies to press eastward and
outilank both the German bases to
the north and the whole German
line to the south.
Railroads Are Threatened.
\ glance at the map shows that
the railroads by which the Submar-
inc bases are supplied are in great
danger As the allied advance carries
the line nearer and nearer to Client,
1t i, rumored along the British front
in Flanders that British monitors
have entered Ostend, but this re
port is without confirmation.
Should it prove true, however. it IS
possible that forces may be landed
in the rear of the Germans still
holding the lines between Ihourout
and the sea.
South OF the break in the Ger
man lines. the Germans have been
in serious position for some time.
Lille has been in danger from the
south and this new attack threat
ems to outflank the city from the
north. Should this occur, Lille will
probably fail. and with its fall.
Douai is certain to be involved.
Huns Seek Escape.
There appears to be every reason
to believe that the Germans along
the flanks OF the line from SolesmeS
to the vicinity OF Rethel will succeed
in delaying the allied advance long
enough to permit the forces in the
bio Laon salient to escape i'll safety.
All reports OF the fighting iii this
area. however, agree that the Ger
man losses in material and NUM-
tions are very heavy.
The success Of the Americans east
of the Argonne forest seems to bring
the Germans there face to face with
the necessity OF either greatly
strengthening tire forces holding the
line. or retiring to the northward.
This sector is so important to the
future development OF German de
iensive measures that it may be eN-
pected that the enemy will strive
bv all means to hold back the Amer
leans.

Be it Further Resolved, that

After many months of suffering
with cancer and other complaints,
Max Render died Sunday evening
at the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Render in Cot
tonwood.
The burial took place Wednes-
day morning under the auspices
of the K. of p. lodge, of which the
deceased was an honored member.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Methodist church Wednes-
day morning by Rev. VIM. Cor
nall, and at the residence Tues
day Christian Science services
were held. The large floral offer
ings were very beautiful.
Max Render was born in Ana
conda, Mont, Oct. 20, 1885, and
resided in Missoula, that state,
until nine years ago when the
family moved to Cottonwood,
Max's health began failing him
couple of years ago, and last year
he was taken to Rochester, Min
nesota and operated upon by the
famous surgeons, Mayo Brothers.
Not making the recovery expect
ed, his father and sister took him
to the Johns-Hopkins hospital in
Baltimore, Md, where he under
went an operation and received
treatment several months.
But the wasting disease had UNI
dermined his health to such ex-
tent that his condition was be-
yond the aid of human help, and
he passed peacefully away with
scarcely any pain during his last
hours.
Much sympathy is felt for the
bereaved parents and relatives in
their hour of trouble.

BALL GAME
AT WINONA
COttOnwOOders win by Score
of 8 to S.

Nearly 500 people witnessed
the game at Winona Sunday-the
majority of them being from Cot
tonwood and vicinity.
1t was by long odds the liveliest
and best game played in the coun-
ty this season and it required the
hardest kind of work for the Cot
tonwooders to "bring home the
Bacon" which they did with a
score of 9 to 5.
The Winona team is composed
of some rafting good players, and
for this game it was strengthened
by four Indian players from KAN
iah, who are considered among
the best ball artists in the state.
One or two of them have been
regular league players.
The ball ground had been fresh
ly plowed and rolled, making the
work doubly hard on the players
in the sweltering hot sun. But
the boys of both teams did not
mind those things, since the pro-
ceeds were for a good cause, and
something like $50 was taken in
for the Red Cross.
Only about half of the band
boys went from here, so that all
the music" furnished at the game
was by the rooters.
The first half of the game look
ed bad for the Cottonwood boys,
who had not scored run up to
the 9th inning, while the Winonas
had 5 runs to their credit-all
they got in the game. But the
loud and fierce roofing by the Wi
mona crowd-who, by the way, are
world-beaters at the roofing stuff
was just what was necessary to
wake up and put a little "pep"
into the Cottonwooders, who got
busy with the willow" and rolled
up 9 runs the last 3 innings.
Batteries Winona, Hill and
Parsons; Cottonwood, Rustemey-
er and Rhoades. Indian Bob
johnson of Kamiah gave excellent
satisfaction as umpire.
1t is astonishing how suddenly
the Winona rooters lost their
voices as soon as the visiting team
forged ahead. The Chronicles

of shots at the Winona crowd
