FAN LABOR TANG WBS Al GONG WAE AS GRORS OVIDL No Fixed Demand Made by Har- vest Help Applying to Fed- eral Agent Here While last week farm laborers ap- plying for work to Federal Labor Agent McDonald of Commissioner Hagan's office were insistent that wages be specified .before they c- cepted a position, this week finds them ready to take jobs at going wages Last week's heavy crop damage has had a prompt effect on the labor mar- ket. Farm help, quick to realize that the demand for labor will not be ror- mal, and that the farmer is ‘up against it,” are gladly taking jobs of- fered at the farmers’ cwo terms These terms generally are $50 the month for steady hand the day for hay hands and $3 f¢ hands. Practically all of th which has applied to Mr has been experienced. ‘That the men have been really anxious to work is indicated by the readine: which they have taken plac ed at some distance from the ¢ and without positive assurence as to the wages offered. Mr. McDonald to date has had ro experience with I. W. W.’s. If any of the men handled through his of- fice have been members of the or- ganization they have not so stated, nor have they demanded the union wage of $4 for a ten-hour day, with overtime and extras. The sudden ripening of all grains in last week’s heat may result in an emergency demand for labor. It is does, the state employment offi not begin to supply applications, however, harvesting can,)e. held off a week or two, the normal supply of harvest help now rapidly working can ‘be relied upon to step into the northward through South Dakota OFNSON breach.

Eerlin—like a feudal lord of: the mid- dle ages—decided to grab his neigh- bors’ land, and extend the walls of his fortress to dominate them. Instead of walls of stone, this mod- ern Teutonic “fortress” has walls of men. There are two main “keeps” or castles—at the ends of the fort- ress. At one end are Germany and Austria-Hungary; at the other is oak Turkey. Projecting from this great fortress and protecting. its main walls, are “outworks,” which serve to hold off the allied armies. ‘ These “outworks” were built in the first year of the war. It was the For the last two years, allied “storming parties” have been at work reducing an outwork here, breaching a ‘bastion’-or front there, and ‘pushing ever closer to the main keeps. The problem was to breach those walls. Tactics change; strategy remains immutable. The ancient Egyptians made their at- tack unon’a walled city for ex- actly the same strategic object as Haig or Petain make their attacks, Hannibal, when he started his war against Rome by ‘capturing Saguntum, proceeded as Pershing will have to proceed in France. The difference is one of tactics—not strategy. In the days of Egypt and Rome and Carthage the problem was to at- tack a walled city; now an anny must attack a walled nation; walled in with human beings. The problem before the ancient general was to make a breach in the walls and pour his archers artd spear- men into the flanks of the defenders, sweep them along, and attack them in the rear. It a wall was breached, the defenders built a new wall be- hind the breach, and made sallies out to strike the attackers on the finak. The allies’ human battering rams have attacked the kaiser’s fortress at seven points as shown on’ the accom- panying sketch, with these results; 1. Rugsia has captured the Gali- sian fronts of Bukovina and Lutsk, but the remainder of the large Po- land-Vothynian outwork remains in- tact. 2. Russia has reduced the Cauca- sus front and joined hands with the British-Indian army. 3. The British-Indian army has captured the Mésopotamian front by reducing Bagdad. 4. The British-Egyptian army has reached the Syrian front. 5. The defenders of the Gallipoli front have driven away the storming party at this point. 6. Sarrail’s army has breached the Salonika front, but the defenders cling to their second line. 7. The Jtalian army has breached the Carso front, but the temporary second line of walls holds. 8. The British-French-Belgian ar- mies have driven the defenders com- pletely out of the Vimy, Peronne, Loan and Maronvillers fronts, and ‘broken down a long piece of the walls of the French-Belgian “out- work,” and the second line of tempor- POLAND- VOLHY NIA OUTWORK GALIGA.

D., July 31.—Bis- marck lost the opener in the local series by a score of 2 to 1, in a hotly contested game before a big crowd of New Rockford fans. The series now stands with two games to New Rockford’s credit; one for Bismarck, and a tie. Today the teams meet again on the local diamond, and to- morrow they go to Fessenden, for three games which are featured by the Wells county fair. NORTH DAKOTA MEDICS CENSURED BY THEIR STATE ASSOCIATION LaMoure, N. D., July 31.—A lack of patriotism on the part of North Da- kota medics is hinted in a letter re- ceived by Dr. Benjamin L. Meigs from the secretary of the State Medical as- sociation, who avers that out of 586 doctors in the state only 28 have ap- ‘pife@ for wervice in the medical re- serves corps. Bon Dep, © mevopotaniaQ = TURKEY ASIA MINORS 1 Tron ary walls (the Hindenburg line) is endangered. . The Romans brought up battering rams and catapults, and by pushing them close to the walls of the be- sieged city they battered away at one or two spots in the wall, until the stones were jarred loose and fell, thus making a “breach” in the wall, | f through which the foot troops could rush. In the meantime, the defend- ers of the walls did everything possi- ble to injure the “battering rain” and £6 hinder the besiegers, but if the battering ‘of the wall went on, they built’ a second wall inside, in the shape of a half moon. This is exactly what the Teutons |} have done. When the outwork in France and Belgium was threatened, | they built the “Hindenburg line,” be- hind which they retired when the outer wall was breached. The problem before the allies is to smash through a wall somewhere before the Germans have time to build an inside wall; or else to de- stroy the insidd wall after the first has been ‘breached, and thus pour into the fortress and take the defend- ers in rear and; flank. have been few, advises Major Doug- lass Settle, U.

But when thé ancient soldiers had built their half-moon temporary wall, it was possible for the soldiers on the old ‘walls on either side to take in flank the bes{egers when they rush- ed_in to assault the second wall. Tho task of ‘the allied and Amori- can troaps is to push home the de- struction of the “bastions,” or fronts, so that the main walls of the fortress can be attacod.
