While Germany is on top on land, their grip is too uncertain for them to offer to discuss peace as con- querors. Have Redoubled Efforts. Coincidental with the peace talk. the allies have redoubled their efforts to persuade Bulgaria to join them in the campaign against Constantinople. The Teutons have advanced during the week against the Russian center east of Warsaw, but no progress has been made along the flanks. The Slavs are holding fast against Mack- ensen in the south and Hindenburg in the north. The success of the Rus- sians in checking Hindenburg has been very striking. Hindenburg's headquarters during the present op- erations have -been revealed for the first time. He has played no part in the actual capture of Warsaw but in directing the northern offensive. Early in the week he was mentioned in blocking a Russian advance toward Riga and Mitau. ‘Later he was com- pelled to move farther south and di- rect an assault béing made on the fortress of Kovno. @iven Difficult Task. It is probable Von Hindenburg has been given the most difficult task of all in the present supreme effort to force the Russians to agree to a separate peace. Also it is apparent that as yet he has failed to accom- plish anything of major importance. His efforts to turn the Russian flank have failed and his own flank is in a danger zone of its own. There seems to be no doubt that the Teu- tons are now facing an ammunition shortage and that their Russian plans in consequence are not developed as they ought to be. The Serbian government has re- fused to meet Bulgaria’s demand for the cession of Serbian Macedonia and pessimism prevails among the allies regarding Bulgaria’s entrance into the war on the side of the triple en- tente. It is apparent that despite the strong desire for Bulgaria’s help the allies are not coercing Serbia into making the needed payment to Sofia. To the present Serbia has been treated as an equal partner in the anti-Teutonic alliance and no advan- tages have been taken of the fact that she is a small nation, unable to re- sist an ultimatum from her powerful protectors. . Qerlinger Given Bicycle. Charles Gerlinger, formerly of Be- midji, now a student at Macalaster college, who spoke in the Presbyterian church yesterday morning and even- ing, was cordially greeted by a large number of his former schoolmates in this city, who went to hear both his morning and evening sermons. The Christian Endeavor presented Mr. Gerlinger with a bicycle, which he around St. Paul. During his vaca- tion he is preaching at Brooks, Minn. To Bemidji in Five Hours.

TO SELECT ONE OF THREE ROADS FOR CASS LAKE TRAVEL In a letter from the president of the Cass Lake Automobile club to A. M.
