THE WAR SUMMARIZED Secretary of War Paker. the first American cabinet officer to visit Europe in any official capacity since the Pnited State's entered the war. is now in Prance for conferences with General Pershing and an inspection of the American troops and the posi tions they occupy on the front be tween Soissons and Alsace. The sec retary's mission is purely military and has no diplomatic significance. On board an American cruiser. Secretary Paker and his party elud ed German submarines and arrived yesterday at a French seaport, whence he departed for Paris. After a few days in the French capital, where lie probably will meet Presi dent Poincare and Premier Clemen ceau. the secretaary will visit the American troops in the field. Increased activity, especially in the artillery on the western front has not yet resulted in any determ ined attack by either of the oppos ing forces. The Germans are more active on the Pritish and Pelgian fronts than elsewhere. Near Kippe. in Flanders, the Belgians have driv en the enemy from parts of trenches he tool; several davs ago. Recent German attacks on the Pritish lines in the Ypres area were Checked through British knowledge of enemy plans gained from desert ers and prisoners. The enemy in tended to take inipejrtant positions south of Uoutholst fore'st but heavy Pritisli artillery fire prevented a major effort and the strong Pritish defense threw back the strong local attaclvs the Germans carried out. On the American sector northwest of Toul the artillery and aerial activ ity has increased. American gun ners have shelled effectively various wiemy targets opposite the American trenches. The German reply was without result. German airplanes have attacked American trenches with machine gunfire, while French gunners within the American lines. Progress is being made by the Pritish armies in Mesopotamia and Palestine. Kighty miles west of Bag dad on the Euphrates river, the Brit ish' have occupied Hit. the Turks re tiring without opposition. Advanc ing northward in Palestine, General Aileuby's forces have gained ground immediately west of the Jordan and along both sides of the Jerusalcm N'ahulus road. The Turks resisted strongly in both places. In the Jerusalem-Nabulus road the British advance was two or three miles uu a front of thirteen miles. Our &rw AND WHAT ST MEANS TO YOU! You Can Avoid Costiy Buying Mistakes Instead of Buying Blindly from Pictures in a Catalog You Can See the UesJ Implement Before You Buy. This is the best year you ever saw to buy good implements, and the worst year you ever saw to buy poor one's. Crop prices are sure to be high. All that you will have to do to make big money will be to raise big crops. And getting big crops will depend largely upon the kind of implements you i.se. You can't afford to risk any implement uncertainty. Infer ior implements will mean the lois of the extra bushels and extra tons that the use of good implements gives. Remember, the extra bushels and extra tons will mean a lot this year much more than enough to pay for good implements. Hurray Hard wars IViurray, FLEDGE OF AID GIVEN TO HAPLESS RUSSIA Washington.

States will avail itself of ev ery opportunity to aid them in driv ing out autocrac-v and restoring Russia to her place in the world with complete sovereignty and independ- ! ence. The Pnited States now recoguir.es no government in Russia, but the president cabled his mosst'ge to the American consul at Moscow for de livery tomorrow to the congress, wlich is made up of soldiers" and workmen's representatives and speaks for at least a considerable part of the Russian people. The message, made public totPght by the state department, was as follows:: "May I not take advantage of the meeting of the congress of the So viets to express the sincere sym pathy which the people f the Pnit ed States feel for the Russian peo ple at this moment when the Ger man power k.as been thrust in to in terrupt and turn back the wolo struggle for freedom and sube'titu'e the wishes of Germany for the pur pose of the people of Ru-sia. Ait ho the government of the United Stages is. unhappily, nor now in a position to render. I beg to assure the people of Russia thru the congress that it will avail itself of every opportunity to secure for Russia once more com plete sovereignty and independence in her own affairs and full restora tion to her great role in the life of Europe and the modern world. The whole heart of the people of the Pnited States is with the people of Russia in the attempt to free them selves forever from autocratic grv ernment and become the masters of their own life.
