F. .D No. 1. 3-22-tf 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.

El A Distinctive 1918 Model M Notice the straight line front, the military pockets, the shape fitting back, the athletic shoulders and the absence of belts or pleats; strictly up to government requirements this model fairly breathes the militant American spirit and can justly be placed at the. head of the line.

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.

'EVERYBODY'S STORE New ties every 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 From Friday's Jaily.
