An old editorial praises British French and American troops for courage and restraint in WWI. It notes ground gained and lost, lauding Mons Verdun and Marne as examples of allied honor. The piece defends all forces against partisan criticism and emphasizes unity over national rivalry.
General Foch argues the aim of all strategy is to destroy enemy armies with decisive blows, opposing a purely defensive war. He says the current Allied stance buys time for a future, decisive offensive and that ground may be sacrificed to prevent deranging overall plans. He emphasizes striking the enemy hard when conditions are right and preserving reserves for a final push.
Two former secretaries share views from the front about what soldiers seek from the association. They emphasize a peaceful place to write letters, a clean recreation area, and friendly, attentive leadership as fundamental needs.
A fragmentary excerpt quotes a critic favoring direct honest talk and a simple empathetic approach to preaching the gospel. The speaker favors a truthful message over ornate doctrine and emphasizes sincerity and plainness in delivery.
A Townley publication distorts a Lincoln quotation to push class politics. The Minnesota Lander is accused of misquoting Lincoln to claim workers are separate from national interests while urging farmers and labor groups to unite and defend property rights.
A Herald correspondent asks about citizenship status for children born in the United States to immigrant parents who have not naturalized. Judge Cooley says such children are American citizens by birth within U S territory. If the father did not naturalize, the children would remain born nationals and would need naturalization upon reaching adulthood to exercise rights.
A California mother who sent seven sons to fight for humanity and justice is highlighted beside stories of other mothers who gave one, two, or more sons. The piece contrasts these sacrifices with the deep questions raised by allies who seek to join or assist the United States Army, noting legal and status issues for enemy aliens amid war mobilization.
The Minnesota Leader prints a Lincoln quotation to unite workers of all nations but notes distortions in the Townley edition. The article says the paraphrasing misrepresents Lincoln and urges verification against the Nicolay and Hay Lincoln works volume.
A fragmented OCR fragment references Kaiser, Internal Palace, Medea Friend Wilhelm, and vague phrases about preserving the world from horrors. The garbled text lacks coherent events, dates, or clear entities beyond scattered proper nouns. No verifiable actions or outcomes are present.
In a reply to a Workingmen’s Association address Lincoln writes that working people deeply resist rebellion and should unite across nations and tongues. He condemns violence between workers, urges property protection as a result of labor, and insists the rich justify enterprise while the houseless should not attack others’ homes.
May records show twenty four births and fourteen deaths in Devils Lake. A patriotic mood runs through local notices with plans for a farmers’ picnic at Turtle Lake on June 18 and a Bantry cooperative elevator meeting. The Devils Lake Red Cross notes a Wig celebration on July 12, while fires persist in Laketa and a boycott-era tension touches The Courier-News, urging financial support for the war effort and home front activities.
The excerpt urges action over dreaming for wartime duty, insisting dreams yield to courage and responsibility. It cites military obligation, urging readers to join the colors and face the Prussian threat, transforming fancy into truth through decisive service. A local note mentions real estate activity by Bowe and Streeter, plus criticisms of journalism.
The annual Tri-County Warmers' Union picnic and dinner will be held at the Behlewit site two miles west of Belfield on the south bank of the river. All farmers in the three counties are urged to attend with their families, neighbors, and friends.
