nially by the Junior class of the Uni.
versary of North Dakota, has been
issued and distributed. 1t is large

finest material and workmanship.
There are, perhaps, not over a dozen
Valley City people attending the uni
versity but nearly all of them are
mentioned, number of them occupy
ing prominent places in the book.
Among the pictures of the Junior
class who are publishing the book are
the following names which will inter-

.BRYAN'S MOVE

dispatch says: ''The news of the res
ignation of Secretary Bryan became
known in Germany at noon and caus-
ed deep stir. The foreign Office or
dered newspapers to refrain from
commenting on the resignation, until
further notice."
London, June 9.-The resignation Of
Secretary Bryan, and the nature of
the American note to Germany which
brought the resignation about, tran
scend in interest in Europe all else
bearing on the war. London papers
give Bryan's letter Of resignation and
Wilson's reply the most prominent
place. These are followed by long dis
patches from American corresp0n-
dents and articles on Bryan's career
whish emphasize his advocacy of the
settlement of international disputes
by arbitration, and draw the conclus-
ion that the note must be very strong
to have brought about his retirement.
America stands firm" and similar
phrases are the most favored headings,
and also the text of editorials COM
menting upon the latest developments
in the German-American relations.
Even the news of the sinking of ano-
Their German submarine, and the an
nouncement by Balfour, first lord of
the admiralty of the change in British
policy respecting the treatment Of
German submarine prisoners, had to
take secondary place in the days
events. .. -
Another important announcement
in the house of commons attracting
attention was that the casualties
among the British expeditionary fore
es on the continent and in the Medit-
terranean amounted to over quarter
of a million. Still the casualties by
the naval division have to be added
to this toll. o
The battle in Galicia holds the CEN
ter of the stage in the war thedter.

Of Stanislau shows the offensive
against the Russian left has been sue
cessful, and that the Russians hive
been compelled to fall back to Their
defenses on the Dniester. @s.

NORTH DAKOTA SONG

The secretary of the North Dakota
commission at the San Francisco ex
position has received a number OF
copies of a new North Dakota song
from the pen of F. B. Taylor of James
town college, set to music by C. s.
North Dakota Day at the exposition
June Fl, by a choir of selected voices
The words are as follows:
North Dakota, hail to thee,
Grandly vast and virgin land,
On thy prairies wide and free,
There is scope for soul and hand.
By the challenge of thy tasks,
Needing faith and courage new,
BY the hope each brave heart asks,
Thou has called the men that do.
In they pure and bracing air,
In thy toll and test they find
Healthy vigor fresh and rare,
For the body and mind.
On thy soil rich harvests thrive,
Not alone of grass and grains,
But of thoughts from minds alive,
Far out-reaching like thy plains.
Thine a double gift to man,
Chance to live and room to grow
On a larger 1oftier plan
Than the world was wont to know.
North Dakota, hail to thee
Still unfettered by the past
May thy future ever be,
May thy youthful vigor last.
Buck. This song will be sung on

WAR BRINGS MUCH
BUSINESS TO U. S.

Fargo, June 3-"Were It possible fol
America to deliver to Europe all o!
the goods, supplies and commodities
purchased or ordered Immediately
this country would be, oy such action
plunged into a period of almost un
bounded prosperity" says the June
business digest by the FIRST National
bank of Fargo. ,..
"Orders on hand and untitled for
goods to be shipped abroad are esti'
mated by various authorities all the
way from billion to billion and a
half Of dollars in value. Naturally the
sale of this quantity OF goods and com.
modities and the bringing of this much
money or credit into this country
would stimulate local or home demand
to just that amount. Some of these
foreign orders will take months to fill
and we are just now beginning to feel
the commercial effects and benefits of
the European war. These benefits will
increase as the weeks pass by, and
faster than they have been increasing,
because we are rapidly adding to our
facilities.
"The export trade, commonly re-
ferred to nowadays as war ORDERS"
means approximately that the same
amount of domestic trade will imme-
diately follow it. We are even now be-
ginning to feel considerable growth
in domestic demand which can reason
ably be depended upon to steadily in
crease. One large manufacturing con-
Germ doing usually a business of over
so million dollars annually and which
is not accepting any "war orders" is
doing business at present at the rate
of more than rs million dollars year.
There are numerous similar evidences
of the healthy growth of domestic bust
ness.
Bank clearings for April exceeded
Is billion dollars, an increase of nearly
one per cent over the same month last
year. This is in the face of the fact
that the establishment of the federal
reserve banks would naturally make
a material reduction in the showing Of
bank clearings because of the new
method of clearing in the federal re-.
serve cities.
Business failures for April were
over 1900 in number COM
pared with 1883 in March and 1878 in
April of last year. The total liabilities
of the failed concerns were approx
mately 80 million dollars, compared
with liabilities of 10 million dollars for
