Read what an Amrican correspondent: writes about one of our boys who had been doing his duty: “In a little field hospital west of Montdidier I stopped at the bedside of an American boy, one of those victims of the German mustard gas, with which the Huns are making all their present gains. His eyes were matted with yellow pus and he could not see. His face was terribly burned. His lips were swollen and purple. His whole body had been turned the color of an Indian} and portions of it looked like melted flesh, as though it had been liquefied. 3 2 “The fighting had been renewed all along the American lines, and German wounded had begun coming into our hos- pitals. I said to this soldier: “ ‘The boys. are getting their revenge for you fellows to- night” He smiled through his seared lips, and in a voice so faint that I had'to bend down to listen, he gasped, ‘God! I wish I was back there withr’em? ¥ =& fie id e Do you still think your life a’hard one? Help support that boy and the hundreds of thousands of others doing their duty.

BEMIDJI It does one good to hear a statement like that of yesterday, uttered by Lieyt. Roy Leibsle of the United States army, who “ hurried to Bemidji from Camp Humphrey’s, near Washington, to spend a day among his new friends of Bemidji, the long trip cutting deeply into his brief leave. He said he hoped to again locate in Bemidji when the big fuss was over and again be associated with his former part- ner, Captain George Geib, in the architectural and engineering profession, Captain Geib also being in the war and in France. In fact the war just naturally wiped out this firm of energetic ygung engineers who had come to Bemidji to locate and be one of u - s. . . There will bethundreds of others who will again be home after the war. They are the flower of the young manhood of Bemidji and county. They will again take their places in in- dustrial and commercial life and again will Bemidji- and Bel- gls_tmi county bloom with the impetus of progress and to greater ings. And they will all be heartily welcome. —_—0 NORTH DAKOTA SHOULD FOLLOW MINNESOTA North Dakota is also facing much the same political situa- " tion as did Minnesdta up to the primaries Monday, in that Gov- ernor Frazier, the Townley tool, seeks re-election at the hands of the voters. : 0 Frazier is practically the opposite in everything to Lind- bergh, the Townley candidate in Minnesota. The latter is a fire eater who preaches sedition and attacks the government and spouts anti-Americanism like a geyser, but Frazier is as docile as a six weeks old lamb.: He is as pliable as a rubber band, according to statements from citizens in-his home state and in the hands of his master, Townley, does his bidding at the crack of the whip. Whenever Townley takes a pinch of snuff, it is up to Frazier to sneeze and in this manner Townley has had free rein in dominating the state, its people and its interests. What North Dakota should do is follow Minnesota’s ex- ample and. crush the life out of the pro-Hun leaders of the Townley regime. of greatest-need; A Friend Indeed: There 18 something ror you in the Want Aa column today.
