Carl G. Engelbert, a member of Co.
/, 7th Inf, writes from Andernack,
Germany that his division has the
record Of advancing more kilometers
at the front than any other division
and that it was also the first to enter
Germany. He writes further that he
has not seen any New Ulm boys since
he is in France and for that reason feels
rather lonesome at times. He has
joined the Third Divisional Theatrical
Company and will travel around the
different A. E. r. quarters and give
entertainments to the soldiers along the
Rhine. He also refers to the beautiful
scenery and sights along the Rhine from
Barachrach to Andernach. He says
the ships which navigate the Rhine are
narrow and quite long. The armistice
has not brot the soldier boys the soft
snaps and the high living that some
people may imagine according to Carl,
who states that Uncle Sam sees to it
that they are not idle His friends here
will be pleased to learn that he has
learned few more tricks since he per-
formed at Turner Hall and that when
he comes back he will be able to give a
real good performance. In conclusion
he says that every little burg has its

On the goth of September Frank
Sellner of Albin Township made the
supreme sacrifice when he was killed in
action on a French battlefield. The
deceased entrained from New Ulm on
the 23rd of February for Camp Dodge,
Iowa. At this camp he spent two
months in training and was then trans
ferred to a Camp in South Carolina
where he remained some five weeks
before being transferred to Camp Mills,
N. Y. After two weeks of drilling at
Camp Mills he was sent across where
he was in the midst OF many battles.
Several weeks before his death he wrote
a letter to his parents saying that he
had fought in eight battles and had been
rather lucky since he was only slightly
wounded. Walter Philipson, a Sleepy
Eye boy, was near him when the fatal
shell hit him and saw him fall
The deceased is mourned by his
parents and seven brothers and eight
sisters. Previous to entering the army
he worked on his father farm in Albin
township and was we'll known by many
in that section. (

SOLDIERBOYS' LETTER.

Adolph Lamp VIZ is with Co. L
127th y. S. Infantry, A. E. +. recently
wrote the following letter to his parents:
eve are now in Hersbach and ex-
pect to stay here for quite while.
The German people in this town are
certainly glad that the American soldiers
ended this war and they treat us fine.
This is surely funny country, snow
one day and rain the next. We didn' t
get much mail since l am here with
this company but it is coming in punches
now. We could not send very many
letters because they needed the trunks
to get our eats. / am still Battalion
Runner. We are at the end of ouI
hike now and we walked 337 kilometers.
I just wore out a pair of shoes and ir
surely was hard on our feet. But t
am not sorry that l made it. ...
1--WE are guarding the line about IS
kilos from Coblenz. W. crossed the
Rhine december 1st at s o'clock in the
morning. Christmas we had dance
and all had good time. A German
band played all the old German pieces
and everybody danced like real old
timers
81 suppose you will be wondering what
we had for Christmas dinner; pork,
potatoes and apple sauce. The Y. M.
c. A. gave us candy, cookies, cigarettes
and tobacco. The lady where I am
staying gave me two pieces of cake and
a cup of corn coffee. The flour which
she used for baking the cake, she had
saved since the beginning of the war.
We get corn bread around here and
one loaf weighs 8 pounds. So you
might know how that tastes. / have

Christmas morning saw two big deer
about so feet away. We are not, al
lowed to shoot them. 1t was pretty
hard for met to pass them up"
The following interesting letter was
written by Philip L. LANCE, son of Mr..
and Mrs. LANCE of this city, who is
with Co. F, III Inf, 30th Division of
the u, S, Army, under date Of January
%, in France. Philip LANCE entrained
from here on Feb. %, 1918, for Camp
Dodge, Ia, where he remained in train
Ing for three weeks: From there he
was transferred to Greenville, s. G..
where he was in training for only two
weeks and then left for Camp Mills.
On April 18th he left the United States
for Over. seas duty. He was in the midst
of active fighting and has written of
his experience in the battles. In the
battle of San Mihiel he was wounded
in the left cheek by shrapnel which
entered the flesh about three-fourths OF
an inch. On October 9th he entered
a hospital in France and was shortly
placed in an English hospital where he
remained until the Goth of November
after that he joined his company again
He also took part in some of the Skin.

COUNTY MAY SECURE
TRUCKS AND STEAM
SHOVEL FOR ROAD USE
Road Equipment May Be Pro-
vided Beltrami by Payment
of the Freight Charges.

Beltrami county commissioners Will
probably take advantage of the op-
portunity to secure free use Of some
of the 100000 worth Of road ma
chinery which has been given Min.
nesota by the war department, as was
announced in The Pioneer several
days ago. c. M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner announces that the
equipme ent Is to be divided among the
counties Of the state.
Tho states allotment Of this ma
chinery. no longer needed by the gov
ernment, includes SGT motortrucks
suitable for hauling road material, al
so number of steamshovels and
other machinery.
County boards are being notified
that by paying loading charges and
freight on the machinery, each coun-
ty may have it's share for use on road
work though the title to the machin-
cry must remain in the state under
terms of the gift, which was formally
accepted by the State Public Safety
age about 500 for each motor truck.
Mr.. Babcock estimates.
IF we only had our road amend
ment now" he said 1.-The state could
go ahead on a big scale with its hard
roads program without delay. AS
things stand, the only way we can
handle the equipment Is with the aid
of counties. We offer to give counties
the use Of the machinery on payment
Of loading charges and freight and on
condition that the machinery be kept
in repair. some Of the machinery
has not been used at all, and all Is
believed to be in first class condition.
None of it was used In France. The
trucks range from three to ten tons
capacity and are worth $3,50O to $4.-
500 each. 1t is a big thing for the
state roads, and ought to be a good
boost for the road amendment

son was made an honorary member
of the order.
In speaking at the meeting At
torney Fisk said: "All the delegates
departed feeling that the Order is

to continue to grow in membership
and importance, that it is privilege
and an honor to be or to become a
member of the order, that every man
or woman who does become such
member thereby protects his loved
ones by an insurance policy that will
be paid and that is an obsolute pro-
lection to the beneficiary thereof"
The next years meeting Will be
held in Minneapolis.

EXPERTS SAY AMERICA WILL
NOT TURN TO BOLSHEVISM

taxes because Germany is not to be
forced to pay the whole cost OF the
war, as the =, politicians originally
said she would. But American ex-
perts have told the United Press that
they believe, there is more prospect
Of industrial unrest-and perhaps
real bolshevism-in England tnan In
France.
As for the United States, they say
that there are less chances Of boil
shevism there than anywhere else.
They believe that America has
prosperity ahead as soon as war con-
ditions are readjusted, and they say
that there is comparatively little
class distinction.
Some of the experts admit that
bolshevism has been overpainted.
One high American official declared !:
II don't believe there has been any
more violence in Russia under boil
shevism than there was before. You
remember the thousands in the ST.
berian prisons under the Gear; and
you recall how many were slaught-
cred in that, regime. Well, there
probably aren't t'anymore killed now.
The trouble isg that bolshevtsm is
simply a new form Of autocracy. 1t
seeks to impose the reverse OF the
former system
None Of the Americans thinks that
food is a cure all for bolshevism. but
these experts do believe that food
will help. They point out that 1t
has worked well so far in Austria,
that it had tendency to keep down
violence in Hungary, and that now
advices. are coming in, proving that
Russia is thinking more sanely under
the spur Of hunger.
"If these people could have food
they would become more normal, "
said one expert. "They would
realize that bolshevism is an extreme
which is impractical"
The experts do agree that new
industrial and economic era is upon
the world.

CR0OKSTON ELKS WILL
SEND DELEGATION HERE

William Munich, Crookston game
warden. who is spending several days
in Bemidii assisting Warden S. c.
Bailey in distributing pike fry. is one
of the states most. enthusiastic Elks
and the growth of his home lodge is
due largely to his work as men,
Der of the entertainment committee.
He has invited Bemidji Elks to at
tend a play to be presented soon by
the Crookston lodge and it is expect
ed that a large number from here
will attend.
Warden Munich says that Crooks
ton is planning to send large dele
cation of Elks to attend the initiation
to be held by the Bemidji lodge June
5. More than sixty candidates will
be- initiated at that time and the
eGrookston degree team will have
charge of the ceremonies.
''T do not blame the Bemidji Elks, -

are splendidly appointed and ! know
that. they will be fully appreciated by

Omitted Press Correspondent
Paris. (By Mail. )-That bolshe-
vism will never take any firm hold
in the United States is the statement
of American authorities here who
know economic and sociological con-
ditions both here and in the United
States.
: They based their conclusions
largely on the fact that bolshevism
has flourished most extensively
where the class distinctions are the
greatest-where the gulf between
the rich and poor is the widest. In
this connection, they pointed out
that Russia was the first nation to
fall victim to the excesses Of bolshev-
ism. There the gap between the
rich and poor was the greatest.
Bolshevism does not surprise the
men who have studied it. They
point out that every great war in
Europe has been followed by more
or less violent reaction. Once 1t de-
veloped into a struggle for political
liberty; now it develops into strug-
gle for more equitable distribution
Of the wealth of nations.
Americans here who have been
keeping their finger on the pulse of
Europe believe that the pendulum
will swing back to more nearly
normal state. There has been much
talk that Germany would dissolve in
to bolshevism. This may or may not
be true. Some people coming out OF
Germany say they doubt it. The
French have recently been circulat-
Ing what purports to be speech of
Brockdorff- -RantZau declaring that
there is no menace Of bolshevism in
Germany, but declaring that the
threat will be held over the heads
of the allies in the hope of securing
better peace than otherwise would
be the case.
Then there are predictions that
France will stir into revolution when
she finds that she must pay higher
