THE WAR SUMMARIZED
Germany's supreme effort .to 1ir:ak
the allied front in the west apparent
ly is no nearer accomplishment to
day than it was on the day the great
drive started, and she is estimated
to have lost 400.000 men in the fu
tile effort during less than a week's
fighting.
She has not given up the attempt,
however, the advices from the front
indicating that her forces are mass
ed for a drive in the region of Roye
and Noyon in an effort to break
through there, as a preliminary to a
rolling up process either to the north,
or the south.
As against the chances of her ac
complishing this purpose may be
counted the factor of forewarning for
the allies. There seems no doubt
now as to where the heaviest ham
mer is to fall and the opportunity is
offered of disposing the vast allied
reserve forces to meet it an op
portunity lacking in the earlier
stages of the drive.
The entente line, as it now runs,
with British. French and Americans
standing together, presents an un
broken front throughout the battle
area. , There has been a slowing
down in the German pressure north
of the Somme. except possibly in the
vicinity of Albert, where the Brit
ish are holding doggedly. In the
Noyon region and along the line of
the Oise, to the east, the French, by
their valiant defense, have likewise
compelled the Teutons, weakened by
their ceaseless efforts and heavy
losses, to relax the force of their
pressure.
Meanwhile, it is clear that the
Germans themselves are being com
pelled to admit that their success in
driving back the entente lines for
such great distances on so wide a
front is by no means a decisive one.
"Nobody can foresee what will re
sult from' it." General von I.udon
dorff declared in an interview allud
ing to the victory he claims.
Concurrently the Germans are ap
parently finding their positions in
the east, where they were supposed
to have insured peace with Russia
and the Ukraine, none to secure.
I Oftecnn ttif TltarV sri nnrt nnnn
which they relied to insure them
the shipment of sorely needed grain
from the Ukraine by way of the Dan
ube, has been recaptured by the
bolheviki and Ukrainian troops, the
Russia semi-official news agency re
ports. This follows shortly upon
the news of the recent recapture of
two other Black sea ports, Kherson
and Nikolayev by the bolsheviki.
It was upon Odessa that Germany
also was reported as relying as a key
point on the "direct route to the
east." she boasted of having secur
ed in her scheme of penetration in
to the orient. Germany is reported
to have left control of affairs in the
Ukraine largely in the hands of the
Austrians while she has engaged in
her great effort on the western front
and apparently they are making
none too good a job of it.

WE WILL WIN THE WAT..
From Friday's Daily.
Notwithstanding the force with
which the Germans are striking the
blow of the war and striking as hard
as they possible can, and with such
force that, those who are watching
with discriminating unpartiality,
have feared that the tide of battle
was going strongly against the cause
of Democracy, this war is to be won
by the allied armies of Freedom.
While the dehaucle of Russia, has
had a tendency to dicourage the
friends of Liberty, and to cause them
to think that the military autocracy
would prevail, do not fear, the situa
tion is indeed grave, but the fight is
to the just.
This battle which is on now will
be won by the allies, it may be it will
last a number of months, but this
battle will win the war and on the
side of Democracy and Liberty. We
have a job on our hands and a man's
jo) at that we will win. do not fear
but do all that you can your part
here, the boys there will do their's.

A NEW CRISIS IN
ARGENTINE AFFAIRS
TORPEDOING OF BOAT LEAVES
NO CHOICE BUT TO BREAK
WITH GERMANY
Beunos Aires, March 2S. Argen
tina is on the eve of another diplo
matic crisis with Germany, more
critical than any of the former
ones. This is the general opinion
in political circles and is based on
the torpedoing of the Argentine
steamer Ministro Irriendo, in the
Mediterranean January 2G.
The chief engineer of the steam
er, who has arrived here, has made
public a statement he gave to the
Argentine embassy in Madrid, show
ing that the vessel was torpedoed.
He says that he gave two pieces cf
the torpedo to the captain of the
French cruiser which picked up the
survivors from the steamer.
The Argentine ambassador at
Madrid has been called home and is
expected to arrive this week. It 's
believed his coming is in connection
with the attack on the Ministro
Irriendo.
It is believed that if it is shown
the steamer was torpedoed the gov
ernment will have little choice hut
to break off diplomatic relations in
view of past exchanges on submarine
warfare. The Crisis is expected to
reach a climax immediately after tlie
Easter holidays.
RETURNS TO HIS
HOME IN DAKOTA

This morning Leland Briggs, of

is working in Winner. The new

for which Mr. Briggs works, being
the Ford agency, and having a terri
tory of fifty miles each way, handle
a large number of cars, and employ
sixteen men, in their establishment.
Last fall they constructed a b'.iild
ing much like the one being built
by the T. H. Tollock auto company,
ut two storeis.
OPERATOR STILL OFF DUTY
From Friday's Dally.
C. W. Foster who works the trick
from midnight to eight in the morn
ing for the Missouri Pacific is still
confined to his home on account of
the bruises and shaking up which he
received from the accident when he
was thrown out of the tre.nsfer truck
of J. C. Mason about a week since.
It was thought at the beginning that
the injuries were not severe, but
time developed them even worse than
had been anticipated. It is hoped
that he will soon be able to be out
again, and at his work. Not alone is
it inconvenient, that he be compell
ed to stay shut up, and to suffer from
the injuries but it seeni3 not possible
to keep some one in his place, and
the others have to put in double time
on that account.
