Seeing Battlefieids

Sunday we started for Verdun
with buses, about $50 miles. We
went through a beautiful farming
country. Everything looked so
green and nice. They had almost
too much rain this summer. They
raise wheat, sugar beets and mus
tard. Potatoes seem to be scarce.
We stopped in the forenoon for
refreshments, which consisted of
tea, coffee, chocolate and cakes.
We could have something strong
er If we paid for it ourselves. Then
again at noon we stopped for
lunch, in the afternoon for re-
freshments again. That was al
ways the way. They would count
us to be sure they had us all. We
stayed in Verdun from Sunday
night till Thursday morning, only
when we were at the cemetery.
We went to the cemetery every
morning, the hotel sent lunch at
noon. We went back for supper
and bed. The only time we got
American coffee with cream was
at the cemetery. The Government
ordered our milk all boiled, and
we had distilled water. The liv-
ing conditions in France are very
unsanitary.
In 1916 there were about rs or
80 French soldiers in a trench
without ammunition. They were
going to make a stand with their
bayonets. A German shell came
and buried them alive. They are
there yet, the bayonets sticking
up through the ground. An Ameri-
can, Mr.. Rand, built a monument
over the place.
Bread Sticks
They make the loaves of bread
about three feet long and six inch
es around, it is never wrapped,
and men, women and children
carry it under their arms like a
stick of wood. On the road to
Verdun we met a woman with a
little burro hitched to a cart, in
which she had a load Of bread,
thrown in like wood. The burro
"a afraid of the bus, and tried
to back up. The woman took one
of the loaves and used it for a
club. That brought him to time!
Don't know whether l got any of
that bread or not, I was going one
way, she the other.
When we got to the cemetery
we all received a wreath from the
Government to lay on our graves.
We went every day, rain or shine,
for four days. Thursday noon we
left the cemetery and started for
Reims, where we stayed all night
and until afternoon the next day.
saw the Reims Cathedral
which was damaged so badly dur
ing the war. They are still doing
work on it. All the kings
of France were crowned in that
cathedral. We went from there to
Chateau Thierry, where we stop

through Beleau Wood. There are

still searching for them. / think
1t is Americans that are furnish

essay on "Roast Pig" people paid
an enormous price for roast pig"
before they discovered that the
roasting could be done without
burning their homes. In the same
way people pay an enormous price
for their necessities until they
discover that they can trade more
economically in Wolf Point.
There are several reasons that
make it economical to trade there.
Wolf Point has the largest high
school of the surrounding com
munity. 1t is the county seat and
the nearest railroad town. They
also have the 'talkies" and a radio
station. The farmers and the bus
mess men from neighboring towns
find it necessary to go there for
business purposes. Farmers haul
their wheat to the elevators and
parents bring their children there
to school. Wolf Point is a friend
ly town. Everybody knows every
body else.
Aren't those reasons sufficient
TO make people want to trade
But that isn't all. The
grocery stores are supplied with
fresh fruits and vegetables in adj
dition to canned goods. The clerks
look SO happy and full of life that
it is fun to trade with them.
The clothing stores have the
latest styles and their prices are
reasonable. A person can go there
and get dressed up for any occa-
sion, from a wedding to a funeral.
The barber shops or the beauty
parlors will do for you what the
clothing stores cant do,
Mothers don't need to stay home
on Saturdays to do their baking.
Let the bakery do that, and let
the cafes feed you while you are
in town.
These reasons explain why Wolf
Point is such a busy, thriving
own.

Talk of 3-POwer Pact
Is Denied by American
And British Delegates

LONDON, Feb. q u.N.SJ.-
With the length of Frances ab-
sence from the London naval con
ference still an indefinite matter
the delegates of the other four
powers today bent their efforts to
the solution of the knotty proo-
lens facing them without the aid
of the French.
However, it was clearly under
stood that all negotiations would
have to await the return of the
French delegates before any defi-
mite decisions could be made.
The work of the American,
British, Italian and Japanese del
egations was to be restricted
mainly to meetings of the techni-
cal committees and to private
conversations.
Although it was admitted in
conference circles that little def
mite progress could be made
under present conditions, it was
felt that continued negotiations
would lay the groundwork for
speeding up the work of the con-
ference after the return Of the
French.
Talk of a tri-partite pact was
emphatically denied both in
American and British quarters.

PARIS, Feb. 27 0.N.SO O.-Now
without cabinet for 10 days, all
France today eagerly awaited the
results of Andre Tardieu's efforts
to form his second government.
Tardieu was confident of sue
cess after conference with
President Doumergue at the
Elysee Palace.
Upon leaving the palace he
declared he would resume his
conversations with the various
leaders at 4 o'clock this afternoon
after which he would pay another
visit to the President.
He stated he hoped to be able
to form new government by Fri
day evening or Saturday morn
ing at the latest.
Faces Bitter Struggle
Should Tardieu succeed in
forming new cabinet he would
then be faced with the difficul
task of finding sufficient support
in the Chamber of Deputies to
insure him a stable government.
Having succeeded in bringing
about the downfall of the left
wing caginet of Camille Chau-
temps, Tardieu is now faced by
the combined opposition of all
the parties of the left wing, a
total of 277 votes.
It is believed Tardieu will try
to form a moderate conservative
government which he yesterday
called broad republican III ion -
With such a government he could
continue his policies at home and
abroad unimpeded.
However the left wing opposi-
ton, solidified as it now is, pre-
sents a most formidable barrier.
At most he cannot expect better
than a bare majority in the
chamber unless he makes SCme
concessions to the radicals.

WHEAT CRISIS:

While awaiting advice from the
administration on the question
of "padlocking" all grain ex-
changes, Congress stood ready
today to appropriate 100000, 900,
if necessary, to give the Federal
Farm Board control OF the wheat
and cotton markets.
Chairman Alexander H. Legge
meanwhile was instructed by
administration leaders, 1nterna-
tional News Service learned, to
compute the sum required to buy
every bushel of wheat offered this
year necessary to stabilize the
price of wheat at $1.25 a buShel.
This would include not only the
wheat now being purchased from
co-operatives through the Grain
Sterilization Corporation but all
other wheat necessary to make
$1.25 a standard price.

Western farm bloc leaders were
exultant because they finally
have secured Governmental

grain spectators and the grain
exchanges for control of domestic
