Somo months ago nowspnpors
voiced tho need of picnic grounds at
convenient places along highways for
tho accommodation and pleasuro of
excursionists traveling by automobilo
or parties out for a day's outing. Now
comes State Land Commissioner 0. L.
Shuraway with a suggestion that tho
state has several tracts of timber from
which no rovonuo is derived but which
would bo admlrablo picnic grounds if
proporly improved. Uo suggosts that
tho statu do something to open those
tracts of timber to tho public, to tho
pooplo generally who own them. To
carry out his suggestion it may bo nec
essary for tho legislature to appropri
ate funds or to give authority to tho
stato forcstratlon commission, or to
withdraw tho tracts from tho list of
school lands which are subject to
lease.

At a meeting of tho Stato Educa

President Gustafson of tho Stato
Farmors' union. Chancollor Samuel
Avery, Executive Dean Carl C. Eng

It was tho goncral opinion that the
schools could do a great deal toward
helping with tho prosont harvest and
that it was their duty to do so in that
they wore practically the only sourco
of supply of malo help that was left
slnco tho draft and enllstmonts. Tho
tnannor In which tho aid should ho
givon was tho princlplo point of dis
cussion. The representatives of tho farmers
woro in favor of closing down tho
schools entirely for tho husking
porlod, whilo tho opinion of tho pro
fessional educators was that tho most
Borvlco could bo rendered tho coun
try by continuing their regular work
and providing for somo plan of se
lective conscription so that only those

Chancollor Avery took tho chair for

Prisoners and Guns.

Troops, Open Offensive Against
Italians Teuton Retreat In Rlga
Region Liberty Loan a Suc

Traitor Press.
By EDWARD PICKARD.
Tho French nrmy mude Inst week
one of tho most Important ndvnnces of
the fall campaign on tho front north
east of Solssons. After a furious bar
rage by the artillery, tho troops rushed
forward for a gain of more than two
miles, and when they rested, they were
In a position to enfllndc the German
lines all nlong the valley of the Ailctto.
Petnln also now directly threatens
Lnon, the big railroad center that
forms the southern extremity of the
Hlndenburg Hue, nnd can enfilade the
crown prince's troops Hint still hold
tho northern edge of the plateau that
parallels tho Chemln des Dames. The
Gcrmun lino running north to the for
est of St. Gobalu is in danger, nnd if
this gives way, tho enemy would havo
to give up his present front from
Chnvlgnon to St. Quentlu.
In this operation tho French cap
tured Fort de la Mnlmnlson nnd other
strong positions and routed some of
tho finest troops In the German nrmy,
taking raoro than 8,000 prisoners and
n great number of guns. The French
ablators did especially good work dur
ing tho battle, flying at a very low al
titude nnd breaking up with their nut-chine-gun
flro several German nttempts
to counter-attack.
The first French smash was miulo
on Tuesday, nnd again on Thursdny
Potaln's forces struck hnrd, driving
the Germans from Monkey mountain
and other strong positions nnd advanc
ing to within eight miles of Lnon. The
number of prisoners wan Increased to
12,000.
Another Advance In Flanders.
Tho British, in Flanders, with the
B'rcnch co-operating, pushed forwnrd
about a thousand ynrds on a front of
n mile and n half on Monday, taking
some Important positions and getting
astride the Ypres-Staden road. The
Germans made despcrato attempts to
recover tho ground, but succeeded In
regaining only one farm at tho edge
of the Houtholst forest.
All week the allied nvlators made
destructive raids behind tho German
lines, dropping many tons of explo
sives on munition works, lines of com
munication and other military estab
lishments. Austro-German Drive on Italians.
Responding to Austria's call for help,
the kaiser sent large bodies of his
troops to the scene of operations north
of Trieste, nnd tho combined forces of
the central powers began a big offen
sive there on Wednesday. Tho Italians
wero expecting tho move and declared
themselves ready. Berlin admitted
that tho Teutons on tho first day
gained only some advanced positions
of the Italians near Flitch and Tolmlno
and on the northern pnrt of the Bain
slzza plateau, but claimed to hnvo ta
ken 0,000 prisoners. In the matter of
terrain General Cadorna has rather the
best of it, though tho Austrluns hold
some lofty mountain positions. A Brit
ish correspondent at the Italian front
says the object of the enemy In mak
ing this drive Is as much political as
military, the Germans having tho mis
taken Idea that tho Italian peoplo are
tired of tho war.
Whence came tho German forces
that aro aiding tho Austrlans has not
been revealed, though It la likely thoy
are from tho Riga sector of the Rus
sian front. The Germans announced
at tho beginning of the week thnt they
had retired for a considerable dlstnnce
thoro without telling why. ,
Kerensky Attacked In Russia.
In other respects the week's develop
ments in RuBsIn wero unsatisfactory.
Though the 'fleet succeeded in keeping
the German sea forces out of the Gulf
of Finland for tho time being, the
enemy completed the occupation of the
Islands nt the mouth of the Gulf of
Riga. The civil population of Revnl,
Kronstndt and In pnrt of Helslngfors
was removed, nnd the government pro
ceeded with Hb plans of moving to
Moscow. The worst of the news, how
ever, was thnt the council of soldiers
and workmen had ndopted a resolu
tion declaring the sulvntlon of the
country lay In tho conclusion of pence
as soon as possible nnd that all power
must pnss into its hands, nnd accusing
Kerensky of openly favoring the kaiser
and seeking to give Petrogrnd Into his
.hands. Furthermore, the council hns
given to Its delegate to tho coming con
ference of the allies In Paris instruc
tions thnt cannot fall to be displeasing
to the other ullles. They cover the
whole ground nnd would result In a
pence In some respects more German
than Germany Itself dares to hope for.
Another source of anxiety to the al
lies, Great Britain especially, Is Ire
lnnd. With the able assistance of Ger
mnn ngents, the militant Sinn Felners
aro becoming more dWlnnt every day
until now the whole west part of'the
Island Is said to bo on the verge of
open rebellion. Several of the con
spirators have been arrested In tho
.United States nnd others In Ireland.
Germany Loses Zeppelin Fleet.
Germany, ridiculously Indignant at
the promises of reprisals for her mur
derous air raids, threatened that "for
every brick which falls from peaceful
German homes whole rows of buildings
will be overthrown in Paris." Then
she sent a big fleet of Zeppelins over
England, their bombs killing 34 per
sons. From there the monster airships
sailed across to Franco to punish
Paris. But tho Frenchmen wero awake
nnd such an army of aviators nnd
storm of antiaircraft gunfire met tho
Invaders that four of them were
brought down and three others were
partly disabled and fled. One of tho
Zeppelins wns captured uninjured and
as It Is of the latest type It has been an
interesting object of study. A mighty
ronr of exultant laughter rose from
Franco when tho result of the kaiser's
attempt to carry out his threat becamo
known.
Preparing for Two Yeara More.
Although America's land forces have
not yet begun to participate In the con
flict, It becomes more apparent dally
that we will take a commanding pnrc
In tho war. Great Britain nnd Franco
make It plain that they rely on the
United Stntes to clinch the victory,
and Uncle Sam Is girding up his loins
for the mighty task. We are to be well
represented In the coming conference
In Pnrls, when It is probable there will
be mapped out a more definite and co
hesive plan of military operations than
has yet been followed. Lloyd-George
nnd other lenders assert that peace Is
not In sight because no terms have
been suggested that nil can accept,
nnd the nations are laying their plans
for nt least two years more of war
fare. It is understood, nnd admitted"
by captured German ofllcers, thnt the
moralo of tho German army Is weaken
ing and that the food situation in the
central empires is bnd, but those who
know do not claim that Germany's
fighting power is nearly exhausted.
The political turmoil there continues,
nnd there were unconfirmed reports
Inst week that MIchaclls had resigned
tho chancellorship. But all that dis
turbance does not help the- allies a
great deal. The emperor returned to
Berlin on Wednesday and began to
denl with the political crisis. The first
result wns tho taking of the portfolio
of Internal affairs from Vice Chancel
lor Ilelfferlch.
Secretary of War Baker intimates
that tho American troops may get Into
notion In France very soon, thnt they
will take part In the winter operations
of the allies, urn) that they will be
heavily re-enforced In the spring. Ho
says they nro In splendid physical con
dition nnd etllclent lighting trim. They
nnd their commanders have made
themselves well liked there, and Gen
eral Pershing made himself moro pop
ular than ever Inst week during the
French advance north of the Alsne. Ac
companying the French commander as
nn observer, "Black Jack" quietly In
6lsted on being taken to the first Ger
man trenches, nnd then on to the sec
ond line, and staid there under fire
until he had Been all he wished to see.
Tho success of tho second Liberty
loan is a source of Immense ir rutin.
tlon to the government nnd to the en
tiro nation. During the Inst week sub
scriptions come In with a rush, under
the urging of thousands of patriotic
workers, and even the Philippines.
Panama and Cubn responded nobly.
Wednesday, by national and stnte proc
lamation, was celebrated everywhere
as Liberty day. Great pnrndes were
held In every city and smaller ones In
every town and vlllnge, and In the
nrmy training camps the boys carried
out special programs nnd handed in
their dollnrs for the cause of freedom.
In some plnces the people dealt In
their own way with certain pro-German
obstructers of the loan, but noth
ing wns done to Mayor Bill Thompson
of Chicago, who took no pnrt what

Food Regulation In America.
The food administration last week
began the dally publication of whole
sale prices ot prime commodities bo
thnt the housewives might know what
the retailer should ask. But the con
sumers speedily found out they could
not buy at tho suggested reasonable
prices. The retailer said tho whole
saler was to blame in that he waB not

Hoover nnd his nids. The licensing of
wholesalers goes Into effect on Novem

he ensy to bring tho balky ones to

Wholesale Grocers met In Chicago and
pledged Itself to tho support of the ad

profits, so tho outlook for the consumer
Is bright.
Throughout tho country generally
there is evidenced n desire to conform
to tho regulation for one whentless and
ono meatless day each week. The ho

by the agents of the food administra

home must depend on the patriotism of
the individual.
