London, March 1.—What Christy Mathewson could do to the Germans near our trenches! The Germans are masters of new tricks, or of adapting old tricks to new purposes, but their grenade stunt would put them at the mercy of the great American ball players. The hand grenades are about the size of a baseball and weight only a few ounces more. It has four little Play Foolish Tricks. A man’s nerves plays him foolish tricks in the trenches and you find yourself tempted to do strange things just as some persons find themselves tempted to jump from high places. 1 suppose the Swede had been temp- ted time and again to stop a bomb with his rifile and finally the tempta- tion became too strong. The Germans had another trick that reminded me of the American gsme of football. Now and then u few of them would clamber out of the trenches under a terrific fire to cut the barbed wire entanglements. They were armored from head to foot. They were gruesome looking objects, but they reminded me for all the world like football players. ‘We never killed any of these men, but we hit them in the legs. It seeras their shin guards were not as strong as the rest of the other armor. Had Deadly Effect. Another invention of the Germans was a swivel with which the Ger- mans swung their rifles. Each man would fix his aim at a certain spot of our trenches and when he was ordered to fire he could reach up and pull the trigger without exposing his head. It was merely artillery practice applied to rifles, and it had a deadly effect. The white night lights which were shot into the air and then hovered over the trenches, were shot up at first only by the Germans, but it was not long before we had them too. Clever Invention. The wonderful French gun known as the soixante quinze fires twenty 2.9 shells a minute. The recoil is caught in cylinders filled with glye- erine; The gun loads itself auto- matically and it never loses its aim. And on our part of the line all the new inventions which the Germans developed could not overcome the great advantage which the French held on account of the Soixante quinze gun. In its way the gun is as Many of the Hard Things of Life.” He pointed out the awfulneéss of sin and referred to it as. being-the only God. There will be a preaching ser- vice tomorrow evening and everyone is ‘cordially invited to attend. BOYSENTER CORN CONTEST Beltrami County Farm Iardtvh) Seek —W. B. Stewart in Charge. Beltrami county farm boys will be for bigger yields of corn. As a special incentive the Minne- sota State Fair has decided to offer a sweeptakes prize in each country of a free trip to the 1916 Minnesota State Fair. In addition to the large cash prizes offered to the winner of dentials entitling him to member- ship in the 1916 Farm Boys’ Camp. For an entire week he will inspect the educational exhibits under care of a special instructor, and how to judge live stock and equip a modern money-making farm.

FORMER FRENCH PAYMASTER TO BE HUMIL!ATED IN PUBLIC (vnm Press) Paris, March 26.—It is planned to publicly humiliate France Desclaux, the former paymaster of the French army, who was convicted of embezz- ling army food supplies, sending them to a friend, Madame Bechoff, before he begins his sentence of seven years in -prison. - Before -committed he will be paraded before the mili- tary school where the Legion of Honor and other decorations will be removed.

RUSSIANS LOST HEAVILY IN SIEGE OF PRZEMYSL (United Press) Berlin, March - 26.—German . war officials declare that the Russian losses during the two sieges of Prze- mysl totaled 70,000. In citing these losses, the Germans declare, proved that despite the Austrian defense, the ability of the Russlans to en- trench properly won them victory. They slowly closed in on the defen- ses, never failing to properly en- trench themselves before advancing. Also that the Slavs left row after row of strong defenses upon which to fall back should they be .repulsed and thus formed perfect rings around Przemysl. B Irrespective- of this, Przemysl could have held out for months long- er except for the lack of food. The inner forts were undamaged and Gen- eral Kusmanak surrendéred only be- cause, it was reported by wireless, that immediate relief was impossible. Onion Growers ‘to Meet.

He thought the authors of the bill ought to copyright the idea for motion picture purposes. Eighty-Two General Inspectors. The bill- provides: for eighty-two general inspectors, to be appointed by the governor at $1,500 each, to handle the work now done by -oil, inspectors, game wardens, factory in- spectors, focd inspectors, dairy . in- spectors, hotel inspectors, deputy fire marshals and inspectors of the de- partment of weights and measures.
