In relieving the Y.M.C.A. of its cgnteen and post exchange . work in France, General John J. Pershing pays a high tribute to that organization for the great service it rendered under heavy handicap toward the waging and winning of the war, comments the Duluth Herald. General Pershing, as comman- der of the American Expeditionary force, was in position to know and to Appreciate what it meant to the cause of the new’ freedom for the Y.M.C.A. to shoulder the burden of the canteen work so that military officers and men might be free to under- take the sterner task that belonged peculiarly to them. These words of his tell the story succinctly: i In making this change, permit me to thank you for the valuable service and assistance which the Y.M.C.A. has rendered to the American Expedition- ary force in handling these exchanges. Handicapped by shortage of tonnage and land transportation, the Y.M.C.A. has by extra exertion, served the army bet- ter than would have been expected, and you may be assured that its aid has been a large factor in the final great accomplishment of the American army. The Fresident has said it was a rush of spirit, as well as a rush of bodies, that sent the American soldiers so fast and so well on-their roads to victory over the Hun. The Y.M.C.A. was an invaluable factor in providing both kinds of rushes. On the spirit side there stood back of the association’s field workers and heroes the good will and inspiration of the American people. ‘General Pershing’s tribute was not essential to a good understanding of the stewardship of this aggressive welfare agency in the zones of war, but it is a message that will be cherished by all those who wrought patriotically at the front and those who, with their money and moral support, made their|. good work possible. j 0 It looks as though the end of the Townley regime is within His attack on the four Non-Partisan state officials of| | sight. North Dakota and others who have refused to stand further for his leadership in all things, in which he declares them to be “traitors, cowards and fools,” will in all probability create a breach which cannot be remedied. The situation is the most re- markable development in affairs of the-Non-partisan league since its organization, and it would eppear that Townley must go. The league, without Townley and several others of his|’ calibre, is backed by many strong principles and could accom- plish many of the changes which were the purpose of its estab- lishment. - — Secretary of War.Baker cannot coptinue to regard the charges brought against him by Major Dick B. Foster, member of a court-martial court at Camp Funston, Kansas, with “lack of interest.” Baker is accused of “intentionally or unintention- ally aiding and assisting the I. W. W., International Socialists and humanitarians in their program of blocking construction of the army by extending and preverting the acts of congress for the protection, comfort and solace of these obstructionists.” Secret orders are cited as proof of Major Foster’s charges. The American people will delay judgment on the matter until both sides of the story have been heard. They expect Baker to offer an explanation, and they will of right insist upon it. 4 ————0 Fred T, Lincoln, secretary of the Brainerd Chamber of Commerce, is an exceptionally busy man these days.

REX SHOW PLEASES. /In a story that ranks as the year's greatest work of fiction, and with a supporting cast possessing names that read like a benefit performance, Miss Anita Stewart returns to the ranks of screen stars at the Kex theatre today in “Virtuous Wives,” adapted from the book of that title by Owen Johnson, as the first of her new super-productions made by her own company.

Local theatre- goers, who have read the book, or the story as.it was published serial- ly in one of the leading national magazines, found last night that the film production keeps close, in the action, to the various situationg in the developmgnt of the printed ver- sion. Miss Stewart's supporting cast includes Mrs. DeWolf Hopper, wife of the famous comedian now starring in “Everything” at the New YorK Hip- podreme; Conway Tearle, a star from the legitimate stage:; William Boyd, well known to New York theatre pat- rons for his work as leading man in 1 number aof the big stage plays of PERFECT PEACE AND .
