BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE Bere ern GERMAN DETEA $ (Continued from Fage Uney the failure of Germany's ruthlebs submarine campaign! No gréat nation has even shown such gross inefficiency as the German mil- itary authorities have exhibited the past six months. , This hasn’t been weg’s half year. "He is the first scapegoat. It has been Hindenburg’s and Lud- endorff’s, : d, now, the policies of Hinden- burg and Ludendorff are being re-| vealed to all Germany the designs; of madmen made drunk by the blood of the battlefields. Militarism is committing suicide in the halls of the German foreign office. The first to realize the new situa- tion was the young Emperor Karl of Austria-Hungary. Bloody Revolution Ifa bloody revolution occurs in Ger- many against the Hohenzollern rule, | Béthmann-Holl- its beginning will be dated trom the/ time when Karl. of Austria-Hungary | began to show his independece of; Prussian control, toward the end of the third year of the war. His dis: 1 from the premiership of Hungary of County Tisza, thorough- ly Prussianized in thought and method, was the first public intimation of Karl’s new policy. Then followed a sudden intimacy cultivated by Karl, between himself and the King of Bavaria. This intimacy may lead to open de- fiance of the Hohenzollerns. ria has begun to loom large as Pruss rival for the leadership of} the German empire. , . The only royal commander of Ge many’s armies who has made a rep tation on his merits during the present war is the Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria; while Count Hertling, Bavaria’s premier, is considered in Germany ‘to be the empire's leading | statesman. New Bavarian ambitions at Prus- sia’s expense have been engendered by the war, and it is natural that they should be encouraged by Austria. For Austria has never forgotten that her defeat by Prussia in 1866 was what led to the foundation of the German empire and to the subordina- tion of Austria amonk the Teutonic monarchies. If an opportunity now arises for the House of Hapsburg to be revenged after 51 years upon the House of Hohenzollern, Emperor Karl has shown he may possess the necesary pluck to take a chance. Should the kaiser and his family fol- low the Romanoffs in the fourth year of the war, Berlin is not so much the place to watch for preliminary signs as are Vienna and the capitals of Ba- varia and the other south German states. SEVEN MILLION KILLED. (Continued from Page One) Italian political protection and ‘with French military aid. 7,000,000 Killed An,estimate made two months be- fore the end of the third year—voiced by Arthur Henderson, of the British War Council—placed the number of ! men killed at 7,000,000 since August, 1914. French General Headquarters recently estimated 1,500,000 Germans had been killed up to March 1, Mr. Henderson estimated the total castal- ties at more than 45,000,000, The first and second American con- | concede vant. tingents of troops landed in France on June 26 and 27. Nearly 10,000,000 Americans of mil- itary age registered on June 5 un- der the selective draft law, and from these are being selected the men who will comprise the great army contin- gents which America is planning to send to Europe. : In cementing America's association with the nations now her allies, nu- merous exchanges of missions were arranged. France, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, Russian and other En- tente belligerents sent delegations to the United Stat a step toward unification, milit inancial and oth- erwise. he United States sent n sions to Ri an and other countries. Fighting on the western front dur- ing the third year of the war may roughly be divideded into six phases two in the latter part of 1916 be- fore winter called a hal; and four atf- ter the Entente offensive was re- sumed in the early spring. At the close of the second year the Germans were still unwilling to failure in the operations against Verdun. After August 3, 1916, the French gained the ascendancy, culminating in the retaking of Douau, Thiamont and Fort Vaux, with thousands of prisoners and mmy guns. By November the French had once more come into possession of the complete circle of the Verdun de- fenses, Second Phase The second phase dates back to the commencement of the Franco-British offensiv: he first Battle of the Somme—in July of 1916. By mid-Sep- tember this had reached such propor- tions that the Germans were credil ed with bringing up seven new di- visions against the British and five against the French. It was estimated that 38 German divisions, or, based on the strength of those German units at that period, about 760,000 men, op- posed the British and French on this twenty-mile front. In this battle the British air supremacy became domin- By November the British and French had taken St. Pierre-Diyion, Beaumont-Hamel and Beaucort, and had penetrated the German positions for a depth of six miles. In the spring, the Germans, anti- cipating a resumption of the Somme operations, began what has become known as the “Hindenburg victorious retreat,” to newly established eGr- man lines. In this second battle of the Somme, Bapaume, Irles, Peronne, Nesle, Fayette, Gricourt Vaux, Roye, Tergnier, Ham and hundreds of other positions were lost by the Germans. In an evacuation which French crit- ics regard as memorial the Germans left a track of wide-spread devasta- tion which aroused world-wide in- dignation. The British claigied cap- ture of nearly 5,000 prisoners in the three months of this German retire- ment for a depth of from 5 to 15 miles along a front of about 46 miles. Northeast of Arras In April the British transferred their offensive northeast of Arras, forcing von Hindenberg to redistri- bute his forces along a fifteen-mile front. Canadians played a_ historic part in this fighting. Monchy-le-Preux was taken; and Vimy Ridge was cap- tured after one of the world’s blood- iest battles.’ Canadians held the ridge against desperate counter attacks. This success east of Arras turned Hindenburg’s northern pivot, and British critics regarded it as the greatest in the history of british arms in the present war. This offensive, continued, placed the British astride the Hindeburg line, and the Germans retired to positions a mile or two west of the Drocourt Queant line, These they held as the third year closed.’ What Do You Know About Your Blood Supply?

Meanwhile the battles of Champaign and the Aisne had been carried on by the French, who in April captured Auberive. In the first days of the Champaign offensive, one of the great- struggles of the war, the Germans sustained an estimated loss of 160,000 killed, wounded and taken prisoners, through their desperate defensive operations. Fighting in these regions continues after three months, during which the French have advanced from one to five miles along a fifty-mile front. The present French line runs ‘from northwest of Soissons, through Rheims to Auberive. Attack on Messines In June, 1917, the British began an attack on Messines and Wyschaete in an effort to straighten out the Ypres salient Again British flyers domin- ated the air. The British had spent an entire year mining the earth for this offensive, which was begun with |an explosion so terrific that it was ‘heard in London. Beyond Messines {for two miles east and pdrtheast, the |British and won and consolidated ground, captured more than 7,400 |prisoners and great stores of artil- lery. Gaining every objective, they placed themselves astride the Ypres- ‘Comines canal, having advanced three miles on an eight-mile front Portu- guese and Belgian troops aided in this offensive. In recent days the fighting there had been confined to raiding operations, | It is estimated that during April, |May and June, the Germans suffered 350,000 casualties on the Western front. # The Russians, having in June of 1916 begun an offensive from the Prip* et Marshes to the Rumanian frontier, speedily captured Czernowitz and the rest of Bukovina, together with Brody in Galicia, and in August they entered Stanislau for the third time in the war. These operations forced the Austro-Germans to relinquish lines they had held throughout the winter of 1915-1916. The Halicz bridgehead fell in Sep- tember, but the subsequent advance jon Lemberg was not prosecuted be- {cause the plight of Rumania demand- ed the transfer of Russiantroops to jaid their Balkan ally. | After the Russian Revolution, the Russians made a feint to advance on Pinsk, to cover the actual operations resumed in July against Lemburg. This latter front extended 18% miles. Known as “Regiments July First,” these troops, reinvigorated by the con- sciousness of political liberty, con- founded. German military prophets by fensive. Led by Alexander Kerensky, Minis- ter of War, and observed by American Army officers, the “Regiments July First” forced the Teutons to evacuate Brzezany, and they captured many important positions, including terrain j west, and, south of Halicz town and strongly-defended positions northwest of Stanislau, On; July 11 Halicz was taken, thus smashing the Austro-Ger- man front between Brzezany and the Carpathians. This Russian operation broadened by mid-July, so that it extended from the Gulf of Riga to the Rumanian front, a distance of 800 miles. Ter Germans were reported to be rushing troops from the Italian and French fronts. Widespread enthusiasm was created throughout Russia, and the moral effect on the other Entente powers was tremendous. Within the last few days, however, the Germans have won back most of the territory gained. “Before the third year.closed, how- ever, ‘Russia’s offensive’ suffered a ,collapse;.German spies, anarchists, ‘pedce. fanatics, and other agitators succeeded in destroying the morale of some of the Russian troops in Gal- icia, where a retreat became neces- sary where units after unitls refused to obey orders. “The death penalty was invoked as a check to further insubordination and the provisional government intro- duced a policy of ‘blood and iron’ in jan effort to avert diaster.” Italy, declaring war against Ger- many on August 28, began a more vigorous prosecution of- her earlier offensive against Austria. With dramatic swiftness the Third Army, under the Duke of Aosta, stormed and captured Gorizia, hither- to considered impregnable. By Jan. 1'the Ifdttang' had” ‘captiiFed 1,200 square miles. : After a winter of artillery duels, Italy resumed her offensive on the Carso front in the campaign toward Trieste. Within a month the Austrian lines were broken from Castagnavizza to the sea. Italy inflicted losses of 85,000 on the’ Austrians and lost heav- ily herself. Austria hurried rein- forcements from the Russian front. In the Trentino the Italians took the offensive in June and after ter- rifie fighting captured the Austrian positions on Monte Ortigara and Ag- nello pass. These they were forced to relinquish, however, in the face of Austrian counter-attacks. In the Balkans In the Balkans the year’s military development saw the occupation of Rumania by the Teutons—a gain of great economic volue because of the oil and grain fields. The Rumanian army, reformed, is co-operating. with the Russians. Bulgaria won successes of moderate importance, including the capture of the Grecian port of Kavala. The newly-equipped Serbian army arrived at Saloniki in August and be- gan an offensive which won Ostrovo, on the road to Monastir. This offen- sive, resumed in the spring with the |co-operation of Entente and Venizel- ist troops, won Monastir and Cerna. In Greece the military moves of the Entente forces included a blockade of Greece aud temporary French occupa- | tion of Athens. | A brilliant Britjsh campaign in Mesopotamia accomplished the cap- ture of Kut-el-Amara in February; and of Bagdad, terminus of the Ber- | lin-to-Bagdad railway, in March. The |capture of Bagdad had a deep moral effect in the Orient, particularly in Arabia, where many natives revolted |from Turkish rule. | Russians operating in Persia took | Hamadan; and further north in Turk- jish Armenia, Russians captured Van. In the Holy Land the British open- jed a new era in the history of the east. Their advance has carried them {nearly to Gaza. Their objective is | Jerusalem, which the Turks were re- | ported in June to have partly exacu- | ated. Except for submarine operations, |naval writers have found little to en- gage their attention during the past year. Germany continued to rely on U- boats. This policy led to unrestrict- * the magnitude and extent of their or ed warfare, which drew the United States into the conflict. U-boats: destroyed an estimated gross tonnage of more than 4,000,000 during the year, This included 2,000,- 000 flying the British flag sunk from February 25 ‘to July 1. America’s destroyer flotilla arrived in British waters in May. Without the loss of a ship or a man, American warships conveyed the first American troops to France. ‘Two submarine at- tacks were made on the transports. At least one U-boat was suhk, Amer- ican warships took over from British and French vessels the patrol of American coasts. Brazil added her navy to ours*in South American wa- ters. 2 Cities from Bagdad to London have been subjected to raids, notable at- tacks being those by German Zep- pelins and airplanes on London. In five attacks on England in May, June and July, 298 persons were killed and $63 injured. NORTH DAKOTA NOT - BONE DRY SAYS-JUSTICE (Continued from page one) not less than 60 days nor more than one year, Punishment Excessive “For the second offense the punish- ment is imprisonment in the peniten- tiary not exceeding two years or less than one year, and under the statute it is the duty of the judge to try and punish any such offence in a sum- mary manner and on evidence given orally or by affidavits. And the de? fendant may be required to answer oral or wrftten interrogatories and to convict himself. The act contemplates a regular star-chamber proceeding without a trial by jury. Clearly the last section and the entire common nuisance part of the act is wholly void and the penalties of the act are grossly excessive and in conflict with the provision..that excessive fines shall not be imposed nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted. ‘No Differentiation “For the illegal importation of the smallest quantity of liquor the mini- mum punishment is the same as the minimum for putting out an eye, cut- ting off an ear, a nose or a hand. In any view of the case it is barbarous and it is void. In those liquor sta- tutes a frequent device is to declare that every’ forbidden act shall be a jcommon nuisance or a contempt which may be dealth with in a sum- mary and arbitrary manner., The do- ing of a thing is made a crime and the crime is made a contempt and a common nuisance. The accused party is .virtually outlawed. The accusa- tion against him is presumed to be true. The complaint itself is made evidence of guilt and the judges are commanded to deal with the accused in a summary and despotic manner contrary to the guaranties of the con- stitution. And alas! Such a proce- dure has been sustained by some judges of this and of other states. It may be they do not know any bet- ter and it may. be they do not care to pull against the tide and to risk the loss of their office. But certain it is that any judge sustaining such a statute or such a proceeding should be compelled to work on the streets and to eat grass like an ox the same as king Nebuchadnezzar. July 26th, 1917, “P. S. Comparing the original sen- nals, I find that, the original bill was so drafted as to. forbid importation of liquor’ fortpersonal use; and it was amended’ ‘by striking out the words for personal use and inserting in lieu thereof, in violation of any law in this state. _ “J.
