MONT KEMMEL A
DANGER POINT.
Mont Kemmel is the prlvotal point
on the Ypres salient and. if the Ger
mans succeed in gaining that high
land, the British will be forced to move
back from a long stretch of the front
in Flanders in the obtaining of which
they yielded up rivers of blood.
By Sunday a clearer idea of the
relative strength of the contending
mmmmmmem -
forces should be obtainable. If the
Germans cannot gain the key positions
around Ypres and6 before Amiens in
that time, they may be coniplotoly
stopped in the great drive which start
cd on March 21.
Once broupht to a full stop, they
may never regain the Initiative. With
American troops flowing into the bat
tle area, the preponderance of men
and guns should, early this summer,
be on the side frt the allies
Germany is not at its height in man
power and gun-power. All the re
sources of the empire have been con
centrated on the west front, and hav
ing been tested and found deficient
the future for Germany will stow
dark.

HOLLAND STRIKES AT
UNITED STATES.
Holland has given the United States
a big surprise. Without preliminary
exchange of notes The Netherlands
has notified out government that tin,
quinine and other articles of export
from the Dutch East Indies can no
longer be obtained from that source,
as an embargo has been declared, ef
fectlve April 22.
Washington is puzzled over the or
der, which may mean an act of retalia
tion inspired by the Americans com
mandeering Dutch ships.
But it is possible the Dutch are
seeking to placate the Germans by an
outward show of resentment over the
ship seizure.
The Hollanders themselves will suf
fer quite as much as the people of the
United States. The cutting off of
those exports will work great hard
ships on the Dutch East Indies,
Ogden is deeply interested in the
embargo on tin There are twenty
odd canneries and a large tin can fac
tory in this district, which, if tin plate
were unobtainable, would be forced to
close at a time when a season of great
activity is Just ahead. A very large
acreage of tomatoes and peas has
been contracted for by the canning
companies and the can plant has or
ders for millions of cans to be supplied

factories in northern Utah.

AN UNCALLED FOR
SLUR.
When Senator Sherman of Illinois
was engaged in his abuse of the ad
ministration yesterday, in an effort to
discredit the head of our government
and add to the worry of those who are
directing the affairs of this nation at
the most critical time in the history
of this country, one of his own party
should have halted him long enough
to inquire as to what he Is doing to
uphold the hands of the President
Sherman attempted to 6how that ev
ery man called to the higher command
was a square peg in a round hole. At
the end of his philippic, he should
have been informed that of all the
square pegs in round holes in public
life, he was one of the greatest misfits
as a senator supposed to be doing his
utmost to help America win the war.
His attacks please his German con
stituency In Chicago. He has not the
courage to openly state he Is laboring
to win the pro-German vote by mak
ing an assault on the president of the
United 'States. He gains his objective
by resorting to comouflagc. On the
Republican side, be is performing the
same unmanly service as that which
made Senator Stone in the Democrat
ic party a sneer and a by word.
Eventually men like Sherman will
be anathematized by the American
people.
Sherman's criticism Is of the nap
ging, haraiaing kind, which cannot
serve any purpose other than to dis
tract those who are deeply involved In
the labor of making this country equal
to the mighty task of forcing back a
menace to our liberties A barking.
?nappinc cur, at the heels of one en
gaged in a great undertaking could not
be more out of place than is this
s.merkrnut senator from Illinois.
ONLY ONE GREAT CAUSE
BEFORE AMERICA.
Point inc out the latest form of dis
loyalty, the Rutte Miner offers Un
sound advice
"U there la one brand of pro-Ger-manir
propaeandlst in this nation who
should bp exposed whenever he deliv
er ,,n 'address' and who then should
he kieked out of the country, il is thai
pro-Hun man or woman who makes a
ipeeeb ostensibly on some American
subject hut which is nothing other
than an argument in behalf of Ihe
kaiser and his methods.
"That sort of individual usually
picks out some title for his speech
which will seem to give it an Ameri
can flavor
"He or she, as the case happens to
be. will announce a 'talk' on the sub
Jetc of 'American Methods' or 'Ameri
can' something else and then instead
of civlng a really patriotic or loyal ad
dress, will proceed to harangue about
'class struggles' in this country, about
the 'munition profiteers,' about 'what
Germanic thoroughness has laugh, us'
and all that sort of thing, the very' evi
dent purpose, beneath the verbal cam
ouflage of the subject as given, being
to incite class hatreds, cause unjust
suspicious, boost Hun doctrines and
thus spread a lot of harmful propagan
da which Is just to the liking of the
kaiser and his ganc
"This is no time for the preaching of
"class economies' and other such
things, the discussion of which is
meant to be for the sole purpose of
causing discord if possible In this
country.
"There is not a class in this nation
today but what can well afford to for
get all about its class claims until this
war is over and the kaiserites have
been conclusively defeated. There Is
no other preat cause before the Amer
ican people today, but the American
war cause."

HE CONCEIT tT
FIRST M. i CHURCH
A large audience gathered in the
First Methodist church last evening to
listen to the first public recital of
Fredric Moss' vocal and instrumental
pupils. None of the pupils, with the ex
ception of Miss Beatrix Musser, had
more than about 50 lessons with Pro
fessor Moss and their work was cer
tainly a remarkable demonstration of
voice developmenL
Arnold Read appeared twice upon
the program and aroused genuine on
thusiasm with his rich, powerful and
expressive baritone.
Mrs. Edith Lemke showed a contral
to voice of great purlt and richness.
Mrs. Laura B. Taylor appeared to
great adantage in two numbers that
displayed tasteful treatment and a
clear sweet soprano voice.
Miss Marie Ingebretsen surprised all
by her exquisite rendering of two num
bers in which her dramatic soprano
was most effective.
Miss Beatrix Musser is rapidly be
coming a most artistic singer, her
beautiful mezzo-soprano voice and mu
sicanly and skillful treatment of her
selections won for her unqualified
praise.
There were two piano numbers on
the program, both of unusual difficul
ty, which were played by Bessie Lee,
a young miss of aboat 15 years, whose
technical skill and musieanh interpre
tation won deserved applause.

day that our stores will sell soap by the case. We have
been forced to come to this decision on account of other
dealers attempting to buy our stock in a plan to force
our price up. We are always glad to have bargains for
consumers but do not care to save competitors $1.50 per
box on the price of soap. Some grocers have been buy
ing our soap at $4.50 and charging their customers $7.50
or 2 bars for 15c. We may publish these grocers' names.
Recently we were forced to withdraw our price of 10c on
canned corn to avoid other dealers securing our stock.
Such tactics work a hardship on customers, and we think
it our duty to publish the names of those who have been
guilty.
