German Offensive .Comes to a Halt; Prepare New Drive (Continued From Page One.) ed June 9, will prove to have been a heavy ‘check to the enemy, says Henry Bidou in the Journal des De- bats. Continuing he says: “It is evident that the enemy's ob- jJectives were undoubtedly ompiegng ard the Villers-Cotterets line in order to ‘reach beyond the forest on the left wing and obtain a base for future opefations against Paris. There is no doubt that the battle may be consid- ered one lost by the enemy, the G mans having only the doubtful sa faction of a slight advance in the cen- ter for which precious divisions were sacrificed ruthlessly. To check, how- ever, is merely momentarily. We must expect the Germans to make other at- tempts, as they are in a great hurry to reach their goal, which, owing to j ead sroea as shortening time More Than 800,000 decreased forces appears as far aw: y as ever.” HOPES FOR PEACE. Paris, June 15.—Berlin \ has not abandoned, hope of ovtaining a “good” German peace soon. The press is following with cuyiosity and interest the preparations for a peace offens- ive, which seems to be clearly out- lined and about to pass from the newspaper domain into official cir- cles. The Petit Journal, voicing the unanimous opinion of its colleagues, declares that German intrigue will fail before the unshakable will of the allies. The only possible peace for them is a peace of justice and civiliz- ation, it says. IMPORTANT MISSION. Amsterdam, June 15.—On the Am- sterdam ‘bourse the journey of Baron Buriam, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister’ to Berlin, is connected with the tension i Austro-German affairs.

London, June 15.—A successful lo- cal operation w carried out. last night by British and Scottish battai- ions: north of Bethune on the Flanders front and over sixty prisoners were taken, according to the statement is- sued by the war office today.

London, June 15.—The-direct charge that the dutch government sheltered a German vessel at a dutch port to save her from being captured by the Brit- ish, is made in a British dispatch which has justhee@tismade public. The case was that of fhe ‘Maria, 4,000 tons, Which entered the harbor. of Tand- jong Priok, Java, Dutch East Indies, in May, 1916. man mercantile flag but is believed to have been a German auxiliary cru- sier. ‘The, correspondence between Great Britain and Holland on the subject contains some very sharp language. The Eritish minister at The Hague in a letter to gJonkheer J. Loudon, the Dutch minister of foreign affairs, wrote: PB “The questidn, does not stand alone as ‘an instancerof the peculiar and-un- She was flying the Ger-| sound views adopted or invented by The Netherlands government during the present war in matters of interna. tional law.” The Dutch government, in replying said it did not wish “to depart from the courteous tone which should mark diplomatic —_ correspondence,” ana therefore refrained from referring to the strange remark, which, nevethe- less caused the govenment thte great- est and most ligitimate surprise. The plea advanced by The Nether- lands governmen twas that Maria was unseaworthy and entered the port for repairs but having failed to complete tbe repairs, within the given time was interned. . In the final note written in April, 1918, the Lritish foreign office made the accusation that Holland had de- liberately protected the vessel when the observance of her own rule and principle would have necessitated the expulsion of the ship from the har- bor.’ U. S. Troops Now in France, Gen. March (Continued From Page One.) can troops over quickly became para- mount. Award of the distinguished. service cross to six members of the American forces in France, four of whonmare dead, was repoted today by General Pershing. Those’ honored were, Ma- jor Alexander Rasmpssen U. S. R, In- fantry; Sergeant Gray E. Swingte, engineers; Private Oscar Griffith, am- bulance company and Private Frank J. Goldcamp, engineers, all of whom were killed or died of wounds, and Corporal Thomas A, Carroll, infantry, and Private Leslie M. Lane, infantry. The chief of staff view the present offensive more as an endeavor to straighten out the German line rather jhan an advance with a definite ob- ject like Paris. The salient between the Oise and the Aisne offensives he described as a “re-entrant angle.” “The most desirable thing the Ger- mans could have now,” General March added, “would be a straightening out of that line. Our last information is that. they are still attacking that line ‘west of Soissons.” General March's, disclosures were made in his first weekly conference with newspaper correspondents. Ear- lier in the day he told members of the senate military. committee at their weekly conference with war depart- ment officials that the situation of the allies “is now more favorable than it has been for many months.” ‘So many American troops have been sent abroad, General March said, that their number. now is reaching the point of being sufficient to counter balance the losses of the allies. The communique follows: “Section .A—Northwest of Chateau Thierry the day Was marked by heavy. shelling, executed by the batteries at both sides, and including the use of gas. There is nothing to report from the other points occupied by our | troops. “Yesterday our aviators shot down two hostile machines. “Section B—In the Woevre sector on the night of June 1? to 12, a Ger- man patrol captured an American sentry at a listening post. The sen- try had two grenades from one of which he managed to remove the cap while being taken away. By striking this grenade again the other then dropping them and making a sudden dash, he succeeded in escaping.” “The Landlopper” with Harold Lockwood at the Orpheum tonight is ENID. ; "TARZAN OF THE APES” Enid Markey is one of the well known stars who’appears in Tarzan ot the Apes which is bookgd at the Bis- marck theatre commencing Monday | June 17.

Dust Proof--All Gears Enclosed Cut Your Farailiig Costs: With a Lausbn Tractor Estimates made after several seasons of actual plowing tests show that a Lauson 15-20 - kerosene tractor will plow an acre of ground "at an approximate price of 67 cents. Other farm work can be done with this machine at @ proportionate cost. The Lauson “Frost King” tractor offers yout full value in a practical power farming’ outfit. Soe ‘these big service tractors... | —and Oliver Tractor Plows The automatic, mechanical control of the. Oliver tractor plow makes it possible for one man driving the tractor to control the plows at the same time. One pull of the trip-rope raises-the bases in a half-turn of the furrow wheel. A second pull on the cord lowers them. This positive power lift opefates only when the plows are raised or.lowered. In dropping or yh, raising Oliver plows, the points enter and leave the ground first. They reach full depth quickly and through an automatic stop. device an even depth is maintained the full length of every furrow. Something more is needed in a. Farm Tractor than mere appearance on the exhibition floor and performance ata demonstration. That “something” is durability, so that the tractor will perform in the field as well, day in and day col -encen after season—as it did at the initial demonstra- ion. c *. The Lauson 15-25 is the Tractor into which DURABIL- + ITY is built so that it stands up.rugged and reliable under the hardest usage to which the farm tractor is put. It fills , every farm power need, both in the field and at the belt— it is built in accordance with the best principles of auto- motive’and farm engineering practice. DEMONSTRATION JUNE 17 A plowing demonstration willbe given on this Tractor on June 17th on Captain Baker’ ‘farm east. of Bismarck. We invite all dealers of the western: part of the state-to be present and all farmers who can arrange to attend. Demonstration starts at 10 o’clock and continues all afternoon.
