The 1918 offensive of the German army, carefully planned at Berlin, was intended to overcome the allies before America could bring over any. effective number of her troops. The suc- cessive German drives, which began Marth 21st, have now be- come history. We cannot think of them without seeing the German divisions sent forward, close-packed, wave succeeding wave, upon the allied positions. In these drives, we know, the Germans were utterly regardless of life, and as their men fell others were advanced to take their places. To meet these various drives the allies under General Foch adopted the tactics of a slow and cautious retreat, giving up one position after another to the German assaults, with as much| ! conservation of men and supplies as possible. The period has been one of intense anxiety for all the allied countries. From day to day there was no certainty that the allied line would hold. General Foch was playing a waiting game, realizing that| . every day that passed without absolute defeat tended to strengthen the allied cause. America was enlarging her trans- portation facilities and increasing the troops she poured across the Atlantic. Two hundred and forty-four thousand men crossed in May, 250,000 in June, each unit blostering up the| . allied reserves. enough to inaugurate a policy of counter-attack. The German crown prince threw his forces forward in a salient across the Marne. Successive French-American attacks imperiled the posi- tion of the German army and brought about its retreat. We now have the picture of the tables turned—the Ger-| mans in full retreat with tremendous losses of men and artillery, the French and Americans in pursuit. The French though war- worn have not lost an iota of their spirit, and their courage is buoyed up by our fine American troops pouring in. E The balance is again swinging toward the allies. On the one side is a great army advancing, full of hope, with the cer- tainty of a constant addition of fresh enthusiastic troops. The harvests of America guarantee an abundant food supply. On the other side is retreat, discouragement in the field, a hungry and dissatisfied population at home. Our hopes are rightfully|, high. We look upon the present situation as the beginning of}” the end, and trust that this forward movement of the allies will be halted-only when it-has swept through the last line of Ger- August 10, it would be eminently proper for Bemidji to appear at her prettiest and and’in gala attire in honor of the presence of Governor ‘Burnquist and members of the state legislature, members of the national legislature, normal board members and other distinguished officials and citizens of the state. The normal is the result of the action on the part of the state legislature and the governor and means much to not only Bemidji but to all northern Minnesota. Its future is assured and its growth is assured. ‘ \ It is up to the people of Bemidji to indicate in no unmistak- able manner that they recognize the honor that has been be- stowed upon them and in turn express, even mutely, their appreciation. Let Bemidji “dress up”” on August 10. 0: } SHOULD BE NO REFLECTION IN NAVAL BOYS. The taking into custody of a member of the Fifth division, Minnesota naval militia, of Bemidji, on a charge of desertion, should not be used as an excuse for any aspersions on the other members of the division. Those who were fortunate to obtain a brief leave and visit parents, relatives and friends sought by earnest pleas to induce their fellow shipmate to return in the right manner, but their pleas availed them nothing. They argued that it wasn’t fair to them, that it caused a blotch upon the fair name of the personnel of the division, that it set an example not envied and was a cause of caustic criticism. The arm of the government stretched forth and a hand laid heavily upon the blue sleeve and a voice said, “Come.” —— ' RIBBONS TO EPAULETS. In General Crowder’s classification of idlers for the work- or-fight rule—he includes clerks iff shops—which calls to mind that one of the most distinguished soldiers of the war of the rebellion, Gen. Nelson A. Miles, was a clerk in a dry goods store in Massachusetts when the civil war broke out. When the war ended, he was a major general. 0. f ‘According to the Minneapolis Journal, the girls of that city hav'e gone into the fine calf raising business. We have no;;lced lln Bemidji that several of the young ladies have fine calves, also. R 0. It's a cinch the kaiser didn’t raise his boys to be soldiers. They keep in the background safe from harm and send their poor subjects to the slaughter. Great is Prussianism. 0. _In order to pronounce the name of the river Ourcz properly we imagine one would have to be seasick. We hope both the name and the river are making the Huns sick. . ——0 ,Garl Sandburg says, “The kaiser will be thrown out on God’s great dustpan.” Yes, and the allies will be the great broom to sweep ’em up onto the pan. o —_—o : We ha've every reason to believe the Germans are losing their-appetite for Paris cookery. cent a word-per issue.
