The crowds began arriving st an

grounds furnished amusement to hum
dreds of people who had brought their
families to the great exposition for the
day. At o'clock stock judging in the
live stock departments was resumed
under the general direction of Supt.
John Moore. The agricultural, women's,

DEFENSE PLANS
KEPT SECRET

Washington, July 2s.- Secretary
Garrison, of the war department, issu-
ed a statement last night urging that
he be not pressed for details Of the
military policy now being formulated
until the appropriate time has come
TO make them public.
The secretary will submit to the
president next week a general plan of
army reorganization, now being out
lined by the general staff. He has re-
fused to discuss the subject or, indi-
cate what is specifically contemplat-
ed in the plan.
Il have absolutely refrained from
making any such statements, be-
cause feel that the effect thereof at
this time would be more hurtful than
helpful" the statement says. There
have been published many unauthentic
statements of what is in contempla-
tion, and l feel that the effect of
these has been hurtful.
MY reason for refusing to make
anything public is that the policy has
not yet been formulated with it's de-
tails sufficiently worked out so as to
make it possible to present it as a
whole"

expectations, for showers the evening
before and threatening weather dur
ing the morning put darnper on the
enthusiasm of the crowds. However
5000 persons passed through the turn
stiles. The crowds were in good humor
and the Midway was crowded.
Children were in evidence every
where. The big feature of the day
for them was the display of daylight
fireworks at o'clock in the afternoon
Balloons, which turned into animals OF
all sorts, rockets and bombs made UP
display that has never been equalled
in this section of the country. Many
of the paper phantoms fell on the fair
grounds and children ran to capture
them.
Last night the free show on the
stage opposite the grandstand attract
ed considerable attention. The at
fractions are a credit to the fair asso-
citation and spectators were well pleas
ed with the offering. The, evening dis
play of fireworks at 9:15 o'clock was
revelation to the crowds. Bombs
rockets, set pieces, pin wheels and a
hundred and one other devices new to
the pyrotechnic art this season drew
exclamations of admiration from the
spectators on all parts Of the
grounds.
Tomorrow is Fargo -Moorhead day
at the Interstate fair and citizens CT
Fargo and Moorhead will attend the
fair en- masse. Business houses and
banks in Fargo will all close at noon
