his voice, low, persuasive, and
vibrant, wooed her. 1t seemed to
belle his cool eyes, the angles Of
his face with it's hard mouth and
cynical, tired air.
1t was like music, listening to
that voice, George thought, it was
like being carried along drowsily
on a sleepy river. without caring
where she went or how.
Then she thought of all the bows
and men she had known. She
thought of Bill Warren with his
matter -of-fact ways, his kidding

ence on telling her about himself
and how rich and successful he
was going to be.
She thought of the bewildered
look he had when she was angry.

he had recognized in her a kindred

There must he some bond be-

this, to make him plead with her

upon it.

could not resist. He was bending
closer and closer.

SCHLAPS' BODY BURIED;
SERVICES Held SUNDAY

Ferdinand Schlaps, who was
hanged May 20 at the county jail,
for the murder of Ludmilla Geisler
more than a year ago, was buried
in the Wolf Point cemetery Sun
day afternoon. His mother, Chris
tina Schlaps, and all his brothers
and sisters were present, as well
as some other relatives.
Services were conducted by Mr..
and Mrs. A. Doty of the Pentecos-
tai mission, and music was furnish
ed by the choir OF that organiza-
tion.
1t was a dismal day. A drizzling
rain fell, increasing the welter of
mud which the rains of the last
week had made on the streets.
Out of the sympathy for the
family of Schlaps, considerable
crowd gathered at the Coliseum
where services were held. Satur-
day many people viewed the body
of the young man at Clayton's un-
dertaking parlor.

|. C. COMMISSION APPROVES;
APPLICATION OF G. N.
is DENIED

Washingto May 25.-An appli
cation by the Northern Pacific
railroad for permission to con-
struct the 62-mile extension of its
present lines from Glendive to
Brockway in Montana, was ap-
proved Wednesday by the inter
state commerce commission.
At the same time the commits
sion denied an application of the
Montana Eastern railroad, which
is a subsidiary of the Great North
ern railroad, which sought permis-
sion of the construction of 33 miles
of new line from Richey to Cir
Gle, also in Montana, which would
have traversed part of the same
territory that the Northern Paci-
fic extension is designed to serve.
1t will be unnecessary, the de-
cision declared, for both railroads
to construct new branches into
the Montana territory, and the
Northern Pacific extension was
found to be more convenient than
that of the Montana Eastern.
The Northern Pacific also asked
for permission to retain during
the first 10 years after construction
any excess earnings over 534 per
cent on the investment in the ex-
tension but this was denied.

WISCONSIN GOOD ROADS
man is VISITING HERE

Francis A. Cannon, with Mrs.
Cannon, is here from Milwaukee
to pay visit at the home of her
brother, w. L. Young. Mr.. Can
non is we'll known and highly es-
teemed in the Badger state be-
cause of his 80 years connection
with the highway interests of Wis
consin. For many years he was
executive director of the Wiscon-
sin good roads association. His
work brought him in contact with
many of the leading highway en-
gineers, both state and federal. He
was much in demand as speaker
at highway conventions and ad-
dressed meetings in Montana six
or seven years ago. He is thor
oughly informed on his favorite
topic and is greatly interested in
the highway progress being made
in this vicinity and all over Mon
tana. He is now secretary of the
Milwaukee Automotive Dealers
association, an extensive CONNER
cial concern.
Mr.. Cannon says Wisconsin now
has $500 miles of concrete high
way and $4,000 miles of graveled
highway. It's annual income from
motor licenses is s15,000,00O and
it receives s2,000,0Oo from Federal
aid. The state has no bonded in

IASM-CITES COMMUNITY
SERVICE

Enthusiastic endeavor and need
of putting ones whole soul in
to their work were emphasized by
r. A. Nestos of Mfnot in an ad-
dress at the First Lutheran church
of this city Sunday evening. AS
the evening programs at the First
Lutheran are devoted to Luther
League, the former governor of
North Dakota addressed his re-
marks more to the younger mem
bers of the audience. He spoke
highly of community service and
outlined the work done by the Ro-
tary, Kiwanis and Lions clubs. He
cited the rule of the Rotary club
that the only excuse for absence
from the meeting was illness or
from a meeting was illness or
what a fine thing it would be if
church members took their re-
sponsibilities as seriously.
Mr. Nestos has recently com
pleted several engagements for
commencement talks at towns
along the hi-line and is now on
his way home He has been a

The famous First Moroccan di
vision of the French army was tC
attack in the center; the Ameri
can First division already day in
place, was to attack on its left ;
the American Second division,
ours, on it's right. This attack by
three divisions was to push east
ward toward the highway which
ran from Scissors to Chateau
Thierry, and cut off the great sal
lent which the Germans had made
in the last days of May by their
attack between Scissors and
Rheims, which had been pushed
as far south as the Marne, and
which they were now trying to
widen.
The Moroccans are the best
shock and assault troops in
France, reserved always for work
requiring dash and desperate brav-
cry, and were evidently in this
fight not only for their own fine
qualities but to set the pace for
the amusing but unprofessional
Americans, of whom some French
staff officers are still apparently
doubtful. The Moroccans are
North African Moslems with white
officers.
On the left of the First Ameri-
can division was another French
colonial division, while still anoth-
er was on our right. Thus we
had three French colonial divis-
ions, the only French divisions
who wear khaki, and our own
two American divisions.

Off south of us, extending be-
low the Marine was the Sixth
French army prepared to conform

French and American troops press
ing toward us to help pinch off the
great salient. Actually the one
Moroccan and the two American
divisions were to deliver the main
and all others we're to con
form to our movement.
Our men in the Second division

DAUGHTERS NIGHT
TUESDAY EVENING
WOMAN'S CLUB GIVES PRO.
GRAM IN n. S. ASSEMBLY,;
SIX NUMBERS

The Wolf Point Woman's club
presented program in the high
school assembly Tuesday evening
entitled Daughters Night. Six
numbers were given, the cast for
five of them being taken from the
club. The Junior play was given
by members of the Junior class
of the high school.
The first number was given by
four little clowns, Kathryn John
son, Dorothy Burgess, Katherine
Norby and Leora Simon. 1t rank
ed among the best of the numbers
given during the evening.
The second number, willie and
Susie Hopper, monologists, by
Joyce Flint and Elizabeth Schoen-
ing was given and called forth
hearty applause.
The third number, one which
received a large share of the ap-
plause was "The Voting Ladies
and Suffering Gents, parody on
the increasing importance of wo-
men in political life. Four little
girls dressed in masculine style,
Patsy De Wane, Janet Lowell, Car
oil Styer and Rosemary Marion,
were the voting ladies. Four
other girls, Harriet Severson, June
Simon, Marion Johnson and Berna-
dean Styer, were dressed in boys
clothes but in their absurd posi-
tions in the new order of society
were required to do the house
work while their spouses were
running political life.
Mrs. Grundy's Calendar" was a
pantomime NUMBER Evelyn Cof- |
fey was the reader, Eunice Dit !
marson and Jean Marshall were
the pantomimists.
The boys of the Junior class
and four of the girls, Ina Her
man, Clyta Cusker, Margaret Ran
dali and Blanche Pipal, gave a |
playlet.
The last number was a quar-
tet, Kathryn Johnson, Joyce Flint,
Helen Louise Styer and Eunice
Ditmarson.
Despite the fact that there were
several other attractions of var
ous kinds in town that evening, a
fair sized crowd witnessed the
program.

division IN SO hours had been
transported from the Marine to the
neighborhood of Scissors. Severed
from the control of its responsible
commander, it had been reformed
and under the most trying con-
ditions, carrying such of its mach
inc guns as it had been able to get
to the front, it more than justified
the confidence placed in it.
Pushed Ahead
The day was clear, bright and
hot, and it's story is not a long
one. BY two o'clock the division
had advanced six kilometers into
the German lines and had captured
more than 80 cannon and 1000
prisoners. During the initial
stages of the attack the rear eche-
Ions had been gotten up; the medi-
cal contingents arriving were push
ed forward and established dress
ing stations at points indicated in
the attack order.
AS the attack advanced, the di-
vision headquarters were moved to

ern edge of the forest, where the

fingers were grasped in a hand

France, Myron T. Herrick, and by
Frenchmen of high position.
But Lindbergh was too weary,
seemingly, to know what it was all

then his fatigue could be fought

feet.
Outside the crowd was bowling
for sight of the hero who had
won the hearts of France as no
American probably had before.
