TO-DAY IS THEA
BATTLE AT LENS

On May 8, 1917, the Germans
launched a violent counter attack
against the British line near Lens.
This struggle was part Of the great
Battle of ArraS which lasted nearly a
month.
Philip Gibbs, war correspondent,
colorfully describes the fighting here
as follows:
II watched this battle of guns from
the old trenches looking across to
Lens and giving a wide sweep of the
battle front from the field of Loos to
the ground below the sloping shoulder
of Vimy Ridge.
This ground was the storm center
of the worlds war last night Just
after dark, and before the coming of
the moon, lights rose from the Ger
man lines. These rockets rose high
-. some of them burned for q min
ute or more and the woods and
trenches beneath them were ulumi-
mated with sharp white lights. One
remained hanging high over Lens
like a great star.
"All through the night the battle
of the guns went on and the sky was
filled with the rush of shells and the
moon yelled his face from this horror
which made hell on earth. But in
the little wood a nightingale sang all
through the night"

Red started to get pale, sure IN
dication that he was losing his
temper. I grinned at him like q
hyena, just to make him feel worse:
and what I tossed down the second
time came slow and easy. Red
squared to smack 1t. It was a slower
ball than I usually used. And IL
seemed to be heading wide OF the
platter, so wide that Red didn't
hold his stick out, but leaned a lit
tie on it as if to tell the wide world
that he knew when the ball wasn't
coming to cut the plate. Only he
didn't know. The pill twisted ia.
The umpire said, Strike tub"
Almost as soon as the ball was
returned to me I sent it back and
it was Just what Red had expected
the first time, the deep drop, only
by this time he was so sore and
ratified and the ball came back so
soon that he just whanged at 1t.
forgetting what Harry always told
me, a batsman has to use his bean
along with the stick.
Red glared at me until next man
up had to push him aside.
It was q lucky break for us, 1t

and confidence and the hooting

a run in the next inning, but at the

They rallied in that inning and

Good Music For Bismarck

Bismarck tonight has the privilege of attending a mus
ical performance which, undoubtedly, will be recognized
as the banner event of the current season.
It is the performance at the city auditorium Of the
Madrigal Club Of the University Of North Dakota, an
organisation widely known within the state and enthus-
iastically acclaimed outside its borders.
Although 1t first glance it might not appear to be so.
the fact Is that the music offered tonight will be far bet
ter than that produced by the average travelling profess
sional organisation. Ordinarily. II one pays q high price

Mellon Is Hopeful

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon doesn't break into
public print very often but when he does he may be
credited with really having something to say.
When, in an address to bankers attending the conven-
ton of the International Chamber of Commerce, he
stressed the fact that there is no quick and easy method
to obtain prosperity and that we cannot get it at the ex-
pense of some ore else, he made a statement which will
bear repeating.
1t is so obviously true that it would be ~shopworn if it
were used as often as its merit would justify for. as Mr..
Mellon says. nations and individuals gain nothing by re-
fusing to face the facts.
One of the most encouraging things about the present
business situation is Mr.. Melons prophecy that the
situation will work out all right. His warning that the
nation must not lose its sense of perspective" is particu-
larly timely. for it sounds the, preSent-day watchword OF
progressive business leaders.
Two years or more ago MIR. Mellon uttered warnings
against the direction in which the nation was headed.
With all the power and authority at his command he
strove to divert the tide Of speculation which he saw was
sweeping the country toward the rocks and shoals of
difficult times. His years of experience and his counsel
were largely unheeded, but who can deny that he was
right.
He was accused of being a prophet of gloom. but
events swiftly showed him to be a true prophet. He is no
more appreciated by the public now than he was then,
perhaps, but his statements of warning uttered at that
time speak for themselves.
Now that the veteran secretary of the treasury sees
light ahead it is to be hoped that his counsel will be
given more credence. Without joining the Pouyanna
school of thought, MI. Mellon indicates his belief that the
country is bound to right itself and that. after the pres
ent transition period, it will emerge better and more pros
porous than before. He is careful in choosing his words
but one cannot escape that idea from reading what he
says.
This viewpoint will be more welcome than the pessi-
mistic attitude which MI. Mellon took two years ago and
it is to be hoped that it will be given more weight by the
public at large.
Melons record shows clearly that he knows whereof
he speaks as we'll as that he is a faithful public servant.
The least his enemies can say of him is that he has
stood his ground when the fighting was the hardest and
has neither exulted in victory nor flinched in defeat.
He has consistently opposed treasury raids of whatever
nature, even though he knew that some Of them were
fore ordained to success. But there Is no hiding the fact
that many persons who opposed his views on most Oh
these questions will eventually admit to themselves, II not
to MI. Mellon and the public. that be was right on most
of the matters Of this nature which have been IN issue
during his long term as treasury secretary.

Claiming the Wager!

It was all I could do to keep my
mind on the game, to concentrate.
I was thinking of Mavis, of winning
that kiss. I was thinking Of the

of the last inning they made 1t four

Our next man wasn't so good.
Even If he had been it would have
been a tough place.
But he did the trick, he singled
at the first smack.
The game was over!
We had won the seasons cham
pionship banner again. I had helped
to defeat my own team.
And all the world was rosy and
bright, for I had won a kiss from
MaviS Merrill!
When I turned to 60 to the box
she xaSn't there.
I asked her father about it.
"She left as soon as the winning
run came in" he said, and started
to talk about the game.
At 8 o'clock that night I was
driving up to the Merrill home. I
was going to find Mavis and collect
that kiss. Then I was going to pro-
duce the ring and propose again.
I drove into the great yard and
hoped out of the car. Down in the
terrace garden I caught sight of
MaviS. That same strange Young
man I had seen her with was be-
side her.
More than that, his arm was about
her!
I went back to my car and drove
away.

Almonds
Question: O. G.. H. asks: "Will
you please tell me if almonds may be
recommended for any specific purpose

Answer: The almond is a nut con-
tanning a large amount of protein and

Red Patch Around Heart
Question: Mrs. w. B. P. writes:
MY husband is troubled with a large
red patch around his heart. He
claims his heart aches at times. The
patch is much deeper in color after
he has tired himself out from walking
and working hard. After he has rest
ed for awhile the red mark goes
away. Could you tell me what the
trouble is? Is it considered serious?"
Answer: It is not likely that the
red patch appearing on the skin has
anything directly to do with the heart.
The circulation in the skin over the
heart does not change because of
heart trouble any more than any 9TH
err part Of the body. Your husband
may have some heart arrangement.

STRANGE FLIES SWARM

WRANGELL, June 19. (E)-J. G. Smith, fox farmer on Vank Island, reports a cloud of strange flies on Brown Island
 The flies had wings half in inch long The legs were red Head and mouth resembled those o1 ants.
 The cloud was so dense that Smith could grasp the insects in the air by the handfuls.
 The flies ate single hole in each leaf whenever they alighted.
 Strawberry plant leaves turned black.
 A heavy rain killed the flies and the next morning the bay sur rounding the island looked like it was covered by volcanic ash , while the dead flies lay in wind rows over the island.
