IO,Un Youth DrOaUns
In Pine Riuer Friday

The body of Erwin Jensen, 81 years
of age, of Sioux City, Iowa, who was
drowned in Pine River west of Rut-
ledge late Friday, was recovered Sum-
day afternoon at about o'clock by
Irwin Foster and Andrew Youngbauer
of that village. The youths clothing
was found lying on the bank and that
gave searchers some idea as to where
to drag the river for the victim.
1t is not known how the accident
occurred. Mr.. Jensen, who was not
a very good swimmer, had gone bath
ing alone and may have been seized
with cramps, or have become ex-
hausted and could not swim ashore.
He had been in Rutledge only two
weeks, having come for visit at the
0. D. Schelhorse home. He is sur
vived by brother, Victor, of Sioux
City, and an uncle, John Lund, a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Schelhorse
The body was taken to Sioux City
for burial.

Maginot Line.
Although Paris had been taken.
there was no let-up in the continued
German campaign against France.
Relentlessly, the attacker went ahead,
storming city after city, penetrating
and thanking the very Maginot line
on which France had depended for
her ultimate defense.
British soldiers having been chased
out of Flanders by the Germans,
formed new auxiliary armies and
tried to come back to the aid of dis
tressed France, but it was in vain.
The enemy kept on marching ahead,
kept on destroying all resistance.
On June Is, the first rumors of
a French surrender were heard.
Paris said they were "nazi lies" Lon
don characterized them as ''dirty
German stories," and Berlin itself
declared that there could be no sur
render until Germany had crushed
both the French and the British mill
tary power.
AS the situation grew worse hourly,
the French authorities decided the
time had come for changing methods.
It was admitted that continued fight
ing would be in vain.

Search Continues
For Missing Man

The search of James E. Nc
Grath of Saltwater, who disap-
peared in the woods north of Nc
Grath Tuesday of last week con-
tinued today with the help of two
attachments of national guards
men, comprising 80 enlisted men
and three officers and a national
guard plane.
Mr.. McGrath, 70, is an old time
timber cruiser and logger so it
is hard to account for his dis
appearance. 1t is thought that
he may have been the victim of
an injury or stroke. He is a pio-
neer of this territory, having
worked here in the old days with
the large timber companies in
getting out the white pine logs.
The village of McGrath, for which
he donated the townsite, has been
named after him.
The last person to see him was
his son, James, Jr., who was with
his father the morning he van
ished. They had been in the
woods and when the senior Nc
Grath did not return the son went
to town and spread the alarm.
Since then many volunteers, CCC
boys, law officers and others, as
sisted by bloodhounds, have
searched in vain.

The fourth annual conservation
caravan, organized by Mrs. j. w.
Thompson of Minneapolis, for three
day trip north, consisting of 80 wom-
en- of Minneapolis and other points
of Minnesota, arrived in Willow River
Monday morning and visited the
General c. c. Andrews State Nurs-
cry located two miles north of Will
low River.
The other points to be visited were
Duluth, Hibbing, Naniboujou Club
and the George Washington Memorial
Forest where each member of the
caravan will plant a tree. The group
will visit Camp Garrison and will
drive along the Mile Laos lake shore
and then home. Harold Searls, from
the State Department of Conserva-
ton, accompanied the group as far as
Duluth, when Clare Hendee, Super
visor of the Superior National forest
took charge.
To Write Book on White Pines.
Those who have been on all four
tours are Mrs. j. w. Thompson,
Mrs. c. H. Malmsledt, Mrs. F. F.
Grout, Mrs. Boeing and Mrs. j. B.
Gilman. Agnes Larson, P. H. D., a
member of the group, of st. Olaf's
college, is writing a book on the
passing of the "White Pine Industry
in Minnesota and will include a
chapter on the revival of the Pine
trees carried on by these forestry

Hilda Thompson, acted as a recep-
ton committee.
Inspect Nursery Work.
Supt. Paul Drone of Camp Currie,
and Jack Mandel, superintendent of
the nursery, explained how the trees
were planted and cared for, and stated
that the plot under observation con-
tanned five different planting groups
of 100000 white pine, jack pine and
other species in each group. The big
problem is to get sufficient water on
the planting fields, and it may be nee
eSSary to obtain water from Kettle
river to have good supply. After
the planting overhead sprinklers will
be supplied. They have planted trees
of three or four years growth in diff
ferent parts of the forest and they are
growing well as they have natural
shade, nourishment and moisture.

cause of the turn of events in the

were made in anticipation of the
earlier adjournment of Congress. The
situation is now so critical l con-
slider it my duty to remain here and
do everything in my power to keep
Congress in continuous session and
prevent so far as Congress can any
further involvement Of the United
States in the European war. Every
day letters and kilograms from Min
nesota and the country generally come
by the hundreds urging me to stay
here and do what l can to keep us
out of war and keep our boys at
home. The question of national de-
tense and taxation to pay for it is
before the Senate now. Problems of
international relations are pending in
the Senate committee of foreign re-
lations of which l am a member and
must be disposed of this week. France
has territories in this hemisphere and
the collapse of its armies may raise
question of grave importance here
any day. Under the circumstances 1

particularly the audiences l have
promised to address will forgive me
for remaining here. The issue of adj

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

On Friday of last week the final
stage for the downfall of France was
inaugurated when Paris surrendered
to the German armies which had
Surged ever nearer and nearer the
capital of the nation. There was no
choice, for the high command Of
the attacking legions had made it
clear that if the defense of Paris were
continued, the city would be blown
to pieces. So, Paris was abandoned
by its garrison, and up went the
Hitler swastika flag on all the public
buildings.
The French government by that
time had already fled to estab-
lish headquarters at Tours, but
when the German bOmbardment
of that city became too violent,
the government fled once more,
this time to Bordeaux.
On the day when Paris was occu-
pied, the German authorities at Ber-
lin limited that on June %, Adolf
Hitler will speak to the world from
the Hall of Mirrors in the Versailles
palace. 1t was in that hall on the
18th of June 1919 that the Germans
were forced to sign a peace treaty
which meant the complete collapse
of their country. Now Hitler, if
rumor has it right, will proclaim on
the 21st anniversary of that event
