naught North Dakota, which has just
been placed in the navy exhibit. y =
Many members of the North Dakota
society will be on hand; and the cere'
mony promises to be an impressive
one. The model is one of the largest
of United States warshiD ever con-
structed. 1t cost Uncle Sam $4,000
and was originally built to be ex-
hibited at the San Francisco exposi-
ton. The model is built on
such large scale that even a novice
will get a good idea and understand
ing of dreadnaught by inspecting 1t.
At the unwilling this afternoon Yeo-
man Pitkin will explain the history Of
the big North Dakota since it was
launched. 1t is expected that Miss
Benton will have something to say
about the launching, for it was she
who broke the bottle of wine on the
big dreadnaught's PROV as it slid into
the Atlantic about six years ago.

PLAY DAY SATURDAY TO
Be BIGGEST DAY OF YEAR

of the year in Valley City. OF course
the Chautauqua and the Barnes
County Fair will bring lots Of people
here, but Play Day is going to bring
the youngsters into the city by the
hundreds. AS an indication of their
number we may say that the Normal
got $50 badges for entrants, thinking
from past play days that that num-
Der would be amply sufficient. But
they lasted just about as long as the
lunch will Saturday noon, and rush
order for ITS more was sent in. That
will mean there will be about 500 boy
and girl contestants, with their
families on hand to see how they
come out. 1t will mean alost 500
families in Valley City that day.
And Valley City will be glad to see
them. The merchants want to get
acquainted with every farmer and
every farmers family, and to see them
have a good time That's what Play
Day is for That's why the Normal
people put in their time to make the
arrangements and to help carry out
the program.
Besides the athletic events of the
DAY, there will be the ordinary parade
of pupils marching by districts, floats,
decorated automobiles, etc. Aoother
of the interesting features will be the
pageant "The Victory of Peace
written by Miss Helen NJ Rand of the
Normal department of English. In
this pageant the schools of the county
will present scenes depicting the diff
ferent countries. The predominating
theme is that peace is in reality the
victory over war.
Play day is for everybody, big and
little, young and old. While only
school boys and girls who have won
buttons in preliminary play days are
eligible for competition for prizes,
there are games for everybody and
fun as well. Handsome medal badges,
in gold, silver and bronze, will be
awarded individual winners. Three
banners will be awarded; one to the
school whose girls win the greatest
number of points, one to the school
whose boys win the greatest number
OF points and one to the school whose
pupils win the highest percentage of
points in proportion to the number
participating in the contests.

London, May rs. - Austria struck
first with her navy and aircraft along
Italy's east coast; but Italy promptly
countered by throwing a considerable
body of troops across the northeastern
frontier. and occupying stretch of
Austrian territory along the river
1sonzo. thus. although field marshal

PEELED the Austrians to retreat.
This briefly. summarizes the first
SO hours of the newest phase of the
every widening European conflict.
The rapid stroke of the Italian army
would seem to bespeak long prepar-
alton and to indicate that Italy has
only been waiting an opportune time
to throw her lot with the allies.
Rome's first bulletin dealing with the
movements of the army indicates two
movements under way; one to north
ward. toward the Carnic Alps: the
other through the region of Friuli.
ostensibly aimed at Trieste, on the
Istrian peninsula and Cervignane. one
of the Austrian towns occupied By
Italians only about 10 miles inland
from the gulf of Trieste. Both thrusts
should develop severe fighting.
Just as Italy lightly characterized
Mondays Austrian raids along the
coast. so the Austria characterizes the
military operations as border Skin
mishes. German claims for the day
embrace both east and west. notably
around Ypres and north Przemysl. In
the latter region it is announced Cen
eral Mackenzen is again surging for
ward and taking colossal number of
prisoners.
The British war office admits the
British unable entirely to reform their
line denied by the Germans at east
Ypres and this dovetails with the Ger
man claims of advances in this region
OF Flanders. The most interesting
statement in the British announce
ment is: with due precaution the
gas attacks can be met and defeated"
This is particularly pertinent as the
gas bids fair to be used more and pos
sibly by all the contenders. Two
thousand casualties among the Aus
tralians engaged at the Dardanelles is
announced tonight.
London. May 25.-Three thousand
Turks were killed in one section Of
the Dardanelles fighting between May
10 and 20. it was officially announced
tonight. Regarding the Mediterra-
mean expeditonary forces activity it
is stated: MAY 81 the first French
division made considerable progress,
and are now close to the Turkish
trenches"
ION the 22nd. the enemy came in
contact with the Indian brigade and
gained a foothold but were driven
back by a counter attack with loss
of 500.
ION the 22nd the enemy came in
