number of machine guns. The attack
was delivered after two hours OF pre-

Allied artillery made the shell.shat.

The furious American assaults
found the Germans stunned and reel.
ing, ready to surrender. The Amer
ican machine gunners inflicted the
heaviest casualties upon the enemy.
Owing to the excellent artillery prep
aration and the swiftness Ct the
operation the American casualties
were light.
The Germans launched an attack on
Bouresches, but the assault was
smashed thanks to the coolness Of
the American machine gunners and
the accuracy of the artillery.

village of Belleau. It is in this region
that the American marines have been
fighting so valiantly recently, and
much praise was bestowed upon them
for their drive Of the Germans
through the Belleau Wood, which had
been considered an almost impreg-

Organizing for Next

ia Liberty Loan committee, on his
return from Minneapolis where he
conferred with \. K. Rogers. direct
or of the loan camph. gn in the ninth
district, and with the state chairmen
of the other states included in the
district, declared that the coming
loan campaign, the dates for which
have not yet been fixed as yet, will
be the most thorough Of any yet con-
Quoted.
when the time comes,' said Mr.
Mcdowell while he was here Monday
enroute to his homo at Marion, 1--WE
will have our organization complete
right down to the townships, and
when the drive is begun, every man
who is a part of the organization will
know just what is expected OF him"
Organization the Keynote
Organ cation is the keynote of the
work now being done and it will be
thorough to the last detail. Several
changes have been made in the list
Of county chairmen, to facilitate the
work, as several of those originally
selected are at present absent from
the state.
The speaking campaign will be one
OF the most striking features of the
bond sale,' said Mr.. Mcdowell I'VE
now have about 40 North Dakota men
listed up for the speaking drive, and
prominent outside speakers. A men,
Der of the cabinet, Elihu Root or
Charles Hughes, probably will be
brought to North Dakota, and special
trains will carry the speakers across
the state on the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern lines.
Must Sacrifice
THE thing that we want to impress
upon the people is that they have not
yet begun to make sacrifices for the
carrying on of the war. There isn't
a single man in North Dakota today
who has really made material sac
rifice to buy Liberty Bond
I'VE must impress upon the people
the fact that this war must be won,
and now we are in danger of losing
it through apathy. We have got to
set into this fight each and every
one of us. There can be no half way
business about it,"
Mr. Mcdowell is confident that the
North Dakota apportionment in the
next Liberty loan will be in accord
with the states ability to handle it
Realize Conditions
THE loan officials, right up to the
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
are fully aware of the conditions in
North Dakota at this time, and of
the great amount of money it requires
to carry on our farming operations.
Also, the conditions in our western
section Of the state are quite thor
oughly understood.
THE size of the loan has not yet
been announced, nor the etime of is
sue. However, when the apportion-
ment is made to this state it will be
up to the eastern part of North Da-
kota to carry the greatest share OF
the burden and I feel sure that the
people Of that section will do so. At
the same time the western sections
will be called on, and it is really re-
markable the manner in which they
are already responding"

ly have the right spirit toward the Red
Cross and we missed their genial
faces after they were gone but they
will not soon be forgotten as the
new electric sewing machine purchas-
ed with their generous donation has
been dedicated to them and is dubbed
the "Mechanics' Machine" and is do
ing fine work.
The young men of the K. P. lodge
have volunteered to do surgical dress
ing work on Saturday night. This
shows the right spirit. If we can't
go across the ocean to fight, we can
at least sacrifice little of our leisure
time to the work that will help to
make their suffering easier. Mrs.
Heidel and Mrs. Craswell will have
charge of this class.
Different boys Of the Richie school
are doing their bit by offering their
services, when materials have to be
carried from the Chapter rooms to
the Branch rooms and it certainly is
appreciated.

Ny dear Grace: Christmas has

weather quite warm.

but was warned for a wiring party
and went up the line early in the aft
ernoon. During the night there were
several snow squalls and at present
we have quite carpet of the beau
tiful.
These wiring parties or for that
matter, any of the line working par
ties, frequently prove exciting enough
to please the jaded fancy of the blase,
but l can't say that l have derived
a great deal of enjoyment out Of any
of them. This night, however, was
very quiet. Fritz" sent us the sea-
sons greetings in the shape of few
over head shrapnel, but there were
no casualties. / have often wondered,
how much work would be accomplish
ed in civil life, if, while the workers
were engaged another crew amused
themselves by hurting dynamite
bombs and other destructive projec-
tiles at the workers.
Yesterday we had a very delightful
Christmas dinner. The menu was us
follows:
Pea Soup Entree
Roast Pork, Roast Beef
Vegetables
Cream Carrots, Mashed Potatoes
Dessert
Christmas Pudding with Rum Sauce
Nuts and Oranges
Tea Beer Cigarettes
It was we'll cooked and we'll served.
We had two plates each in addition to
our mess tins, quite a wonderful af-
fair when one considers, and gives full
weight to the conditions and circum-
stances. Two companies dined to-
gether and when, at the close, in ac-
cordance with custom, they sang "The

cumstances the whole battalion would

from now, when present wrongs and
grieviences have faded into the mists
which obscures past events, the men,
DRY of this Christmas dinner will
stand out with clear distinctness. Such
are the semblances Of war which live
in imperishable youth, and around
which glitters the mock jewels of
glory; while horrors are forgotten,
and leave each succeeding genera
ton subject to the lure. I wonder,
would we have this deluge of blood if
those devils who started this one had
remembered? But human nature
seems to perverse that it requires a
little Of such medicine now and then
to put the system in order. We do
not seem to have had enough of it
yet, or Fritz" either for that matter.

INTERN ATIONAL HARVESTER
co. HOLDS TRACTOR SCHOOL

A very successful farmers meeting
which was held last week at
the City hall came to a successful
close. The meeting was in the fo;m
Of tractor school and about 200
farmers were present to learn what
the international Harvester Co. could
teach them about tractors.
The school was held under the di-
rection of O. l.. Larson, of Valley
City, representative Of the Inter-
national Harvester Co. M. j. Tang,
tractor expert of the Fargo branch
house acted as instructor and handled
the different subjects in a very cap
able manner.
Mr.. Tang, in instructing the audi
ence on behalf of the company, ex-
planned by the use of large charts the
different parts of tractor also the
care and maintenance of a machine.
No doubt each man present derived
a great deal of knowledge from Mr..
Tang's course of instruction and will
return to their homes far more cap
able to expert their own machines.
0. B. Fryberg, of the Standard Oil
Co., also talked Tuesday afternoon on
kerosene, gasoline and lubricating
oils. Mr.. Fryberg in explaining the
merits Of gasoline and kerosene left
the impression that kerosene was by
far the cheapest and best fuel for a
farm tractor if used in a machine de-
signed to burn low grade fuel.
Farmers and others were in attend
ance from Valley City, Rogers, Spir-
! itwood, jamestown. Ashtabula, Page,
Sanborn, Tower City, Mcleod, Leal,
Darcy, Courtenay, Casselton, Pills

Velva, Buffalo, Luverne and Hast
: ings.
Mr.. Larson in the closing address
thanked those who attended the
/ school, the people of Valley City and
the newspapers for their cooperation
in the affairs. He also thanked the
city council, especially Mayor Moe for
the use of the City hall and the many
| other favors shown.
Other International men present
were, P. J. Hyland, r. H. Cosgrove,
A. T. Helgeson, J. N. Speckman, r.

This conclusion is not hasty. 1t
was reached by process tantamount
to mathematical computation.
From personal observation 1 know
what the French punch is like and
what the British bulldogism is while
from my study here l believe I have

can do.
From this knowledge don't believe
the Germans have the proverbial
chance in thousands, despite linden
burg's strategy and Ludendorff's tao
tics. Hindenburg can expect little or
no aid from Austria. Emperor Karl's
position is too wobbly to warrant
sending Austro- Hungarians, Czechs,
etc, to their slaughter on the west
