He is do- ing his part toward building up your home. The mail order man pays no taxes here and is doing more than his share toward destroying the com- munity. Who are you supporting? “A Lending State.” Ultimate material and financial considerations are the ones princi- pally urged by the advocates of con- servation, and those considerations are undoubtedly the ones to be chiefly emphasized. But there is another return that comes from a sane and practical comservation policy, and that is the advantage of the outside advertising that will accompany the policy. Here is a paragraph from the Madi- son, Wisconsin, State Journal, that is a sample of the attention a state gets by being progressive: ‘While Minnesota is without a dollar of bonded indebtedness, the state treasurer announces he has about thirty-five million dol- lars in bonds of other states, held by Minnesota. It should be a source of satisfaction to the citizens and taxpayers of any state to find themselves in the lending class ‘rather than the borrowing. Minnesota is pros- perous because she has con- served many of the natural re- sources which we in Wisconsin have squandered through ill-ad- vised acts of early legislatures. S ‘We are without a bonded debt in Wisconsin, but we are not without a legislature that is op- posed to the conservation policy that made Minnesota a lending state. This reputation of being a “lending state” is all very fine, and it is well deserved, no doubt. “But while we are in the lending business, why not lend some of this money where it will do the most good, and where it will reach a need that is not sup- plied and is not likely to be supplied from any other source, asks the Du- luth Herald. This need not necessarily be in the form of an ordinary loan. The thing can be accomplished by the adoption at the coming election of the revolv- ing fund amendment of the state Con- stitution. That measure is ome of the:best that could possibly be de- signed for the upbuilding of the state, and. the upbuilding of the state is one of the truest means of conserva- tion. At the last election this revolving: fund plan did not have enough friends to carry it, though it was lacking in enemies. - Today, thanks to the trip of the state senators through North- ern Minnesota, the revolving fund plan ‘has more friends than even its most earnest promoters had dared to hope ‘for. But for all'that it is not friendship, but- votes, that decides Wwhether. an amendment shall be adopted, and unless this one gets the 'votes, its: friends will count for nothing. That is the task before these friends between now and election time—to make sure of the votes. Talk of the revolving fund wherever such talk will get a vote, and you may be sure you are doing that much for the good of the state. And when the amendment has been adopted and the policy it pro-; vides for put into operation, you will see Minnesota gain a new reputation, :mot only-as “a lending state,” but as a state that helps'it men and women get good-homes:whera they can raise KKK E KKK K KKK KK ¥ EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS ¥ SRS SRR RES SRR S8 “Big Bear in Bemidji,” “Freeborn County Goes Dry” and “It’s Cool in Duluth” are this week’s news head- lines that ought to convince travelers|. that the ‘‘See Minnesota First’:slo- gan is no idle babble of mere words. —Walker Pilot. i It’s a funny world in spots. Some of the men and papers who are most indignant that the state legislature authorized boxing contests in the three big cities, under state regula- tion, and who shout that the state should not become ‘partners in this brutal business,” are the most violent advocates of the state being in “part- nership” with the saloons, which sell booze -to all who will buy, and are the great demoralizing agents of the times. Personally we think the prize fighter and the saloons are much in the same elass—but why denounce the one and defend the other?—St. Cloud Journal-Press. —o— Most land in Northern Minnesota can be purchased by a very small cash payment and the balance run for a long time with a reasonable rate of interest. Here, after making the initial payment, the man with energy and push, who is not afraid of work, should be able to earn enough to sup- port a family and make the additional payments on his land. Such oppor- tunities cannot last long and those who wish to avail themselves of them should act at once. Nothing comes from waiting anyway. It is the man who acts—the man who does things —that gets ahead. Many a man has let an opportunity he knew was good slip away from him while he was “thinking the matter over.”—North- ern Minnesota. *#**ii*#*#*i##*l’ * ONE YEAR OF * THE GREAT WAR AS * * SEEN IN FRANCE ¥ ISR E LS SRS S E R RS S0 By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. (United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, July 28.—When General de Maud’huy blocked the kaiser’s leg- ions in their smashing drive for Dun- kirk, Calais and Boulogne, the scored for France one of the biggest vietor- ies of the first year of the Great War. The Germans even place this bat- tle first in importance, and their ver- dict in this matter might well be taken, since they, better than any- body else, should know just what success there would have meant to them. ‘Whatever else a victory of the im- perial arms would have meant, it would have brought them in sight of England, the whole course of the war would have been changed and the result probably have been disastrous to the allies’ cause. As it turned out, General de Maud’- huy’s success completely used up Germany’s initial strengtl, or what was left of it after the Marne, length- ened the battle-front _considerably | and inaugurated the strength-sapping winter campaign in the trenches, each one of these a hard blow to the Teutonic hordes. Tor not only were they thus doomed to months of im- mobilization when time was so valu- able to them, but General Joffre was given time to reorganize his resources in men and material both on and back of the line, now an urgent and neces- sary thing. After the battle of the Marne, in early October, the second great Ger- man offensive began; the dash to the sea. General Joffre began a similar movement about the same time, his object being to turn his opponent’s right flank. A series of _surprises followed. Everywhere they went in their turning movement northward, they found the Germans a little ahead of them and though at the state Von Beulow’s move seems to have been taken for an endeavor to turn the French left, it was now per- fectly evident that the mass descent upon Paris had been transformed in- to an advance against the channel ports. By the middle of October, a formidable front was presented- by the Germans clear to the North Sea and the situation looked serious. There are really three gates to the channel: The Yser river, La Bassee and Arras, the last being considered by far the best since it not only opens the road to the coast but to Paris as well.

But after all, Arras was the main gate to the coast and had de Maud’- huy failed there, the other fighting probably would not have occurred. His victory was the decisive one. In subsequent battles had the al- lies been forced back at any point reinforcements were at hand and the thing could have been remedied. The British victory at Ypres, by some said to be the biggest battle not only of this war, but of all time, was not of itself decisive since Maud‘huy had won out at Arras by October 26, in- all along the line as far north as the sea; and, had the British given way they very probably would have been supported by fresh troops and the German advance arrested before the suring the arrival of reserves coast was reached. Thus it was de Maud’huy who held the Gate to the Sea and probably saved Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne with all that such a victory meant for the allies. writing materials. | There ase: other things here “thatyou’ TO.
