WELL DONE
Has Been the Cleaning Up Of the
City-'The Fifth and Sixth Wards
In. Splendid Condition.

Due to the indefatigable efforts Of
Mayor Thomas NJ. Russell, the Coun-
cilmen of the Fifth and Sixth Wards
and the good people who reside in
those wards, both are now in splen-
did condition to face the hot weather.
All that was there that had tend
ency to breed disease or that was un-
slightly has been removed and the
streets and alleys present the appear
ance of money and time well spent.
Mayor Russell and a member of Coun-
Gil made hasty inspection last even
ing and found the work of the clean
ers had been pretty thorough.
And now the next move will be to
ask those who have vacant lots that
are being overrun with weeds to have
them cut, as they present an unsightly
appearance and are disease and mos
quito breeders.
AS the city authorities have gone tC
the expense of this thorough cleaning
of the city, they now call on the peo.
pie to keep it that way, so that there
will be no necessity of another clean.

RENEWAL OF HUN DRIVE

Washington, May 24-Renewal of

Gated by Premier Lloyd-George today
to be imminent finds American mill
tary opinion here absolutely conf
dent of the outcome. There is not a
doubt in the minds of high officials
that the enemy will be repelled with

There are those who believe that
the end of the war may come this year,
as a result Others. however. foresee
long defensive struggle by the Ger

peace on the best possible terms are
made by the Berlin diplomats.
In assessing the situation as it
stands today in France, officers here
point ont that the German position
| strategically is far weaker than 1t
was when the drive was launched in
| March. Their lines are now shaped
so that there is constant danger of
flank attack from several points that
might mean disaster, To guard thosS
points. ample reserves must be held,
whatever the call for more men may
be made from the fronts of attack.
Before the German army stands a
force that has been largely rehabili-
tated since the shock of the drive fell
upon the British and French fronts
and bent them back by weight of num-
bers. Losses in men and material
have been made good
The armies are keyed to high
pitch of enthusiasm.

replace by far the larger portion of

iag the considerable American force
Which already was in France Except
for the finer points of trench war

Washington without Details Of Sink
of L. 3. Transport

Washington, May 24-Sinking of the
British merchant cruiser Moldavia,
with probable loss of fifty-six Amer
lean soldiers, was announced in a
cablegram from the British Admiralty
to the War Department. No details
were given, but the understanding
here is that the ship was moving be-
tween England and France.
At late hour the department had
no further information to indicate
what American units were on board
the vessel. Many men are in train
ing>in England, and it is possible that
the Moldavia was carrying a contin-
gent bound for the front.

London, May 24-The British armer
merchant troop ship, Moldavia with
American troops on board, has been
torpedoed and sunk, according to an
official bulletin issued by the Admir-.
atty this evening.
The text of the Admiralty statement
follows:
"The armed mercantile cruiser Mol
davia was torpedoed and sunk yester-
day morning.
"There were no casualties among
the crew but of the American troops
on board, fifty-six up to the present
have not been accounted for. 1t is
feared they were killed in one COM
partment by the explosion"
The Moldavia was torpedoed with
out warning. 1t was a moonlight
night and although a good lookout
was kept, the attacking submarine
was not sighted before the torpedo
struck.
Most of the men aboard were in
their hammocks when the explosion
occurred amidships. The sailors and
soldiers alike showed no panic,
They fell calmly into line and
awaited orders. When it was seen
that the Moldavia was settling down
all on board were taken off by the
escorting ships.
The men lost all of their belongings
but were supplied with new clothing
at the different naval ports where
they were taken.
1t is believed that the America
soldiers missing from the Moldavia
were sleeping on the bottom deck ant
were overtaken by the great thrush o.
water, after the explosion, when the,
were trying to reach the main deck
1t also is presumed that some of tn,
ladders were destroyed.
The vessel was struck below tn,
bridge. She steamed ahead for som,
time after being struck and at first i
was hoped that her water-tight com
partments would enable her to reacl
port.

PREsHo DOES WELL AT
RED CROSS AUCTION

Presho, S. D.. April "a Red Cross
sale held here Saturday afternoon net
ted the local organization more than
$1,000. a supper served after the sale
brought more than 5000, and a dance
in the evening added $50 more to the
days receipts. Donations added to the
above bring the net total receipts from
the days activities up to above $500.
Presho is a town OF between 500 and
500 souls. The country around is
sparcely settled as compared with any
locality east of the Missouri river.
In view of the fact that very few
articles sold at exorbitant prices, it will
be seen that the people opened their
hearts, as they probably never have had
occasion to do before, in SO far as do
nations are concerned. There were ap-
proximately IS head of cattle, horses,
hogs and sheep, many being registered
or eligible to registration. There was a
large amount of poultry and grain. The
GREATEST activity in bidding was when
some seed corn and alfalfa seed was Of
Tered Tor sale, ali sesa bringing a.7v
high price.
