HAS ALWAYS
BEEN VICTORIOUS

all military excellence In a general,
who does not outrank his colleagues,
but who by some deed or deeds has
brought particular distinction on him.
self or his armies.
The first battle Of the Marine was
the reason why General Joffre became
a "marechal de France" Today there
are only three "~marechals" in all
France-Joffre, Foch and Petain. The
marvellous strategy of Foch stands out
more clearly every day. Napoleon
had many "marechals," all of them
prodigies of valor and some of genius
-Massena, Lannes, Soult, Murat, Ney
and Others. The emperor made them
either dukes or princes or both, and
sometimes kings. But with all their
glory l doubt if any one of them has
rendered such signal service to their
country-certainly not to humanity
as have Joffre and Foch.
G%allieni's Great Feat.
General Gallieni, the former gov
ernor of Paris, would have been made
a "marechal" had he only lived long
enough to receive the honor due him.
1t would be a beautiful idea If the
government Of the French republic
created him a marechal ever now, and
inscribed on his tomb: "Gallieni died
in the service of his country. General
de Observation-Disclosures de France" II
might not do the general any good, but
1t would please the army and the en-
tire country, while 1t would render
justice to an immortal name and
would be a fitting tribute to q great
and good soldier, though whether they
call him general or marshal or drum
major makes little difference. Gal
hents name rests secure in his 3O-word
proclamation and in safekeeping of
4O,OO0,OOO free Frenchmen, for whom
he did more than any other one man
to retain their liberty at q critical
time. He will live forever in the
heart of the French "poilu." He was
too good a soldier tt ask anything
Detter than that.
Joffre Won at the Marine.
Marshals Joffre and Foch, as the
world knows, are also great soldiers.
For three long years Joffre withstood
the fearful onslaught. He never MUIR
INJURED, though he had terrible diff.
culties to endure. He husbanded his
small armies while we prepared ours.
When his task was done and the bat
tie of the Marine gained, Joffre retired
from activity with the great honor he
had hardly won.
Foch has always been victorious.
He has served his country with love.
with ardor and felicity. To his fine
character he adds great ability. He
has been preceded by a list Of names
which have Illuminated the history Of
France and mankind during the cen.
turtles.

the end of the pier was the gallant old
Vindictive, after Its magnificent part
in the Zeebrugge bottling-up exploit,
where she served as a boarding ship
and carried the great superstructure to
permit British marines to climb on the
Ieebrugge mole, had been filled with
concrete and sent In to block Ostend
as U-boat and destroyer base. The
Vindictive made it impossible for siz-
able ships to get into Ostend, and the
Germans, just before the retreat, tried
to complete the work by sinking a
mail ship alongside the Vindictive.
However, there is still room at high
tide for small relief ships and barges.
In fact, we saw a converted trawler
of the American Red Cross already in
the harbor, as well as many similar
British ships.

iy Flat Before the Ready Wit Of
Complaining Private.

It isn't often that a private has any
chance to give an officer as good as he
gets, but the following from Camp
Kearny would seem to indicate that II
sometimes happens.
The orderly officer was asking for
complaints, when up sprang a private
who declared that he had not received
his proper ration of butter.
officers as a rule don't like grum-
blers and this one was no exception.
Noticing a tiny morsel of butter on
one Of the doughboy's boots he re-
marked scathingly:

butter? There's half Of 1t on your

"Yes, sir" retorted the private, re-
garding the tiny spot gravely, "just
exactly half, sir"

CANADAS new
DEVELOPMENT
After the War a Period Of Pros
perity.

1t is evident that the Government Of
the Dominion in Its programme of re-
construction and development is un-
dertaking a work of tremendous i'm
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation Of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, In
stead of Canada sinking into a state
Of lethargy, there will be a continued
period Of ~wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities Of
the great Canadian West possess Him
table acres Of the best Of soil, capable
Of producing millions of bushels Of
the best of grain. The cost Of grow.
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be q greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one of the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement Of
1t will lie In the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted Of
cattle. and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development in this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced In this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
yelopment Of industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development of the
water power at Niagara, on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up. and it is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the In
dustries will 60 forward with a
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
In the reconstruction of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas q commission for
the purpose of securing orders. Cam
ada took an early and prominent part
In the war, and in the days Of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty Of. her
people she has earned a large share
Of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.

American Press Headquarters, Brit
fish Front.-We had an impressive IL
lustration today of the accomplish
ments of the engineers in this war
when we drove into 0stend.
The chief of the American mission
at Belgian headquarters had warned
us dramatically against an attempt to
make the trip. At least three days
would be required. he said. The roads
were torn up by shells and mines and
congested with troops. Yesterday a
light car had taken twelve hours to
make twenty miles. But we started
out and had as smooth a road as any
boulevard in the middle West for the
entire distance. There were several
places where we had to make detours
through villages. and as the dozens of
bridges r the canal near Ostend
were all blown up we had to drive on
about five miles to a temporary bridge.
We averaged about thirty miles an
hour.
soldiers work In Rain.
Most of the road was kept up by
British labor battalions, excepting the
section near Christel. through the aw-
full Flanders swamps, where Belgian
soldiers worked necessarily in q drfv-
ing rain. We heard they had worked
all night without rest, and so auto
matte had their operations with pick
and shovel become that they did not
stop to look up when u speeding car
threw Shiny mire all over them. For
q camp they used the long lines of
German pill-box forts. At one place
we saw about twenty Of these squat
chambers, with walls three feet thick
and made Of concrete, REINFORCED
with steel pipes. Direct shell hits ap-
parently bounced harmlessly off these
forts. The twenty pill boxes in sight
were in a straight row, and behind
them were a half-dozen larger ones to
protect the rear.
When we had passed the desolate
waste Of water, mud and swamp reeds
and got into other lowlands that had
been drained and tiled we saw more
pill boxes In a reserve line. A Bel
gian peasant was using one as a
chicken house, and the low apertures
for machine guns lent themselves
readily as entrances and exits for the
fowls. Descendants of these chickens
should be in the old family home for

Crop Conditions Factor
In North Dakota Vote

GRAND FORKS. N. D., June 2S.--
Crop conditions apparently were the
deciding factor in the vote on the
seven Nonpartisan League laws, which.
according to returns from all but 800
of the 1888 precincts in the state,
have been ratified by a majority of
from 5000 to 10000.
An analysis Of the vote discloses that
in the eastern counties, notably in the
Red River Valley, where the farmers
have experienced Unprecedented pros
perity because of big crops and high
prices, the Nonpartisan League has
lost heavily as compared with the last
election. In six counties bordering the
Red River the league has had net
loss of 2,400, almost entirely in the
rural districts, while the next tier Of
counties west of the river shows a
loss in league strength Of 1,40O COM
pared with the November election.
In the northwestern section of the
state, where four successive crop fail
ures have occurred, the league has re-
tanned it's strength, and in some in
stances has added numbers.
With 1,548 precincts reporting, and
the rest mostly in rural districts many
Of which are league strongholds, the
vote compiled stands as follows:
For the laws, 1929; against, 40,939.
These ballots represent more than two
thirds of the estimated vote of 10000
cast Thursday.
