The camouflage of the latest German reply was very amateurish: For instance, Solf started in by denying the reports of U-boat murders and other outrages and in the next breath declared that he iwas unable to guarantee that new orders prohibit- ing such outrages would reach all submarine com- manders in time. r, The German people’s urgent need is not a | change of autocrats or a constitution but a first class liar at the head of their diplomacy. It takes ja first class liar to make a good showing as a hypo- crite. “CRUSHING” GERMANY. The devil’s a pretty sick one these days but he certainly did have something up his sleeve for your Uncle Samuel and the other allies. That was Rumania that made that little nation groan to high heaven. Finally Rumania sent delegates to ‘Berlin to plead for a little more humane terms. | (Bstablished 1878) a> nconditional urrender HE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR | STATE SUPERINTENDENT. | sing to deceive | Some papers of the state are t the people by reiterating that Miss Nielson is the! candidate of the old gang.

The Senate had passed an amend- ment permitting every person within each period of thirty days to import for his personal and family use four quarts of whiskey ‘or five gallons of wine or seventy-two quarts of beer. And in lieu of that-amendment a few members of the Housesiby trick ant of H.

Yet the fake was en-/ grossed as a part “of the bill which{ was approved and booked asa law of! the state. And without knowing how | the act was faked, it was retognized as a valid statutaaby the judges, the attorney general, U: S$. Judge ‘Amidon and U. S. Attorney Hildreth. And it became the principal business of the attorney general and his deputies to prosecute “offenses against. the _ fake bone dg statute. We must not think that it was done knowingly.

The fake bill contravenes each pro- n. Its title is: A Bilito Regu- late the Receipt and Possessibn of In- toxicating Liquor: Fhe fake ‘amend- ment makes it a bill to prohibit the receipt or possession of liquor for any purpose whatsoever. ¥ As I have shown, the U.S. bone dry statute of March 8, 1917, is a rider tacked onto the last “section of the postal appropriation act, and its pur- pose was to put the Federal law in harmony with the state law. It does not forbid any importation for medi- cinal purposes, ner any importation that is permitted by the Jaws of the state, and, indeed, while Congress has a constitutional power to regulate in- terestate commerce, it has no legal power to destroy such commerce. Now, where are we at? Now it ap- pears our dry bone statute is a pure fake; shall we have apy more prosecu- tions under it?

And now a word in regard to the dose of liquor and quinine. When a person is taken with the flu, he is as a person bitten by a rattlesnake. He ean drink liquor like water until he had had enough, because one poison kills the other. Drink till you feel hai Go to bed and sweat. Take a quinine pill with every two or three wallows of the good medicine. Eat plenty of good steak or roast beef; and then like‘a christian scientist. you may order.ithe flu te go to the hot place. PEOPLE’S FORUM 1 BOOZE AND THE FLU. Werner, N. D., Oct. 28, 1918. Bismarck Tribune, rs Bismarck, N..D, sai Dear Sir: i fl. It seems to me that someone should make some denial of the statements made that booze is a cure for the flu. Does anyone know of a single death from the flu where whiskey or other liquor was NOT given? Why does the Ralston Health Club of Ralston..Uni- versity, Washington, D. C.,- which is composed of .over a‘ thousand of’ the best scientific men in America and Europe say that liquor in any-form is the most dangerous.thing ‘to give and many times fatal in such cases as pneumonia, is usually followed trom its use. Let's note who are the worse in the disease, those who drink or those who do not, other things con- sidered. \ If liquor is good lets haye‘it again; we can’t get it too soon.-'Btt-let’s be sure we are not going téde ‘fooled badly before pe do. : ANGLO SAXON.

Company “A” 18th Inf, s Frapce, Sept. 20th, 1918. Dear Mother and Father: There have. been. so many letters from home that have reached me when it was impossible to answer them that. now- when I have the | chance- I will. just mot. answer any certain one’ but tell you everything I possibly can (which, won't be much). There is one letter that I want to especially mention, the one with.‘the card in it, and with the money order in it from Mr. Finney. “It reached me nearly two. mionths later when I was wanting a letter most. We were just on our way to the fight. Not much of a fight, you understand but still we were running ‘8 little risk. The way I feel ‘now I believe there will be at least 100 more birthdays for me, The fresh night air and the daily hike keep a man healthy and in the best trim possible. :The money from Mr. Finney was also very wel- come as it reached me about half way from a. pay-day. While it was nearly two. ‘weeks before I had a chance to spend. it, when I did 1 was very thankfdl that I had~ such kind friends back ‘there. I will write him another letter which I hope will reachi him, » , 4 About those socks. A pair of socks last us about two weeks, sometimes we have to make them do for two months, sometimes it is” impossible for them’ to reach us with such things as cloths, but when we do get them they are new and clean. I flon’t know if the sacks I get are from the Red Cross or not’ though J domi’t. believe they are. They ere all government issue. They may some of them come from the Red Cross. The boys be- hind the lines on soft. jobs, “coffee cooling” jobs we call them, may get them which I suppose they do. Today the sun is shining that not ‘so long ago shone on the Huns in this ver place. We are on captured land or rather retaken Jand but sou- venirs are scarce. When a bunch of soldiers once get on captured land there is not- much that can be sent or kept, left. Nothing that can be carried. around. There are plenty of German Hand grenades but who wants to carry around a‘ real live German hand grenade? Not J. Did you. get that letter where’! told, you about our drive? Well, I een another advance upon the this time we were not in the line of wave, as it iv called. I stayed back with’ the ‘kitchcns where w had-our office located.) I saw the beautiful) fire-works idisplav that al- ways goes before an. attack. I knew at what hour the attack was to start so I lay down and went to sleep wait- ing for ‘the barrage to herald the morning. 1, was afraid tthe. Germans might shel. the place where, we were and as we had no dugouts't6 ‘go into L.wanted to.be awake: when the thing started: In ‘the early morning Iwas awak- ened by a heavy jar as though there he’ been a large ‘powder ‘lit off.. It just. one of our smaller guns close by my shack ,only a 1°-inch gun. The jar;pushed:-me. over on.one side of my bunk, then another gun went off on the other’ side ‘and threw me back again. . Then-the other guns OHSRE loose. “The sky was’a single blaze of light and the air a solld sound. “Back of us you could hear the big guns go.off with a single “BOOM” then in front of us up clos- er to the line the smaller guns began their barking until the mingled sounds were just ke a thunder storm, only louder. I just closed my eyes and said: “There they go.” I could see them as at a single command they scrambled out ofthe muddy, slippery trenches and started om their. journey of conquest.. I saw them going in columns as far as the eye could reach, each a happy: confident man, laughing and joking at their own expense as one would slip'and cover himself with the filthy mud. Slipping and stumbling with their faces Jighted-Dy the burst- ing shells in front bf them. I could see once in‘a ‘while one falling, but with a ‘pitying glance’ his‘ comrade would pass on with once more score to settle with the’ Hun. woke up aware of the fact that it was late in the day and there was work which I had been left behind to do. The guns were still busy and a short .{distance north the boys still fighting forward. Tmado"me a little sorry I wasn't thero to fight. with them as I had. been’ in’ our other advance. £ knew I was missing a lot of fun and excitement.) But my work was just as dangerous ag tho front line work. The Giermans ‘guns could reach us while they, nover firo ‘upon the line advan- cing. They had) the .maching gun bullots ‘to face which are a mighty hard thing to go against. Soon tho kitchens were ordered up farther ug the troops had chased the food them from where tey were. All day we hiked behind. the — wagons. Then if Roy had been with us he would no longer be ashamed of ‘mules. They did~better than a hoarse ever could, You could see them strain and pull .~ thelr harness trying to move the heavily. loaded wagons from the miry roads and the deep shell holes. | They just put their shoulders a little deeper in the collar and pulled until thelr tongues hung out of their mouths, but they moved the wagons. ‘All along the road going up you could see a dead horse or mule, some Amer: ican, but mostly German, They had all died doing their dest, ours trying to get the guns up and in pesition to throw their steel into the fleeing Huns; thoirs trying to carry the guns front the, reach of the, advancing troops. : When wo at last yoached the place we were suppowod to stay we had orders td move on, ‘The men: ha chased thom still farther away. two days thoy ‘had kept them on the run without rext or food. When we at last‘caught up with them we found the Company tired but happy, their work well and apoadiy done. That's what etn the Hun’s goat, our speed ia going after them.
