,uro Inf Adventure Sends United States Lads Into Army of
 Great Britain.
EASY TO SECURE RELEASE
State Department at Washington Has Bureau to Look After Appeals of Parents Who Want Their Sons
 Returned to Them.

Washington.-Lured by the spirit of adventure more than 2,0OO Americans have died in battle, fighting in armies of the British empire.
 Somewhere in the United States thousands of anxious mothers and fa- liners are awaiting the return of those who will never return, and somewhere in France there are Americans fighting in the khaki of Britain who will never return to their native land.
 So serious has become the problem of American youths slipping away into Canada to join overseas regiments that the American state department has been forced recently to create a new division to care for the hundreds of communications which pour in, ask ing officials of this government to ob- tain the release of American youths from foreign regiments.
 In many cases, these boys have joined in Canada by the simple expe- dient of falSifying their ages. Today, these same boys can be found in the trenches along the Somme, in the train ing camps of England, and aboard British vessels patrolling the high seas.
 Because of the willingness of the British government to release and send home boys who joined by fraud ulent means, the state department has found little difficulty restoring Host" boys to their parents when the boy hlmself can be located alive, but there are many cases, department officials say, where the names of American ooys, sought by terrified parents in America, have been found in the lists or those killed in action. In many in- stances not even the body can be re- covered.

Special Division Necessary.


 During the early days of the Euro pean war, there was a constant stream ol requests received at the state de- partment, asking the release of Amer lcan volunteer boy soldiers, but it was not until recently that the volume of onese requests made it necessary for secretary of State Lansing to desig- tate special division to handle such eases' 1t is called the Division of Ap- pllcatlon for the Discharge of Soldiers "nu sailors in Foreign Service.
 The figures of the newly created di- stSlon show that the cattle boat traf- nc across the Atlantic from American ports to London, is a great recruiting sOurce for the British army. Of late meeAs' the number of American boys mno nave enlisted in London, has been en greater than the number enlist ing In Canada.
 a,I 1niS IS chiefly due to the extraor- aiy precautions the Canadian re- srulung officers are taking to avoid such cases. " ~ ca n an American boy has enlisted in ~anaqa and his parents believe be

 And then he went on in that semi sarcastic vein that he enjoys: "Just think, monsieur, I no longer love wom- en, and men disgust me; it would be good time to make a fine finish !'' Then turning toward the dead body he apostrophized it with:
 'You were young, you had long fu- ture before you; you had done i'll to no one, women pleased you and you had faith in men. How much better it would be if you were alive here and an old body like mine were hanging out there in place of yours !"
 The artillery fire finished before M. Clemenceau moved on and the staff captain who accompanied him told the story afterward, declaring: 'I tell you he was wonderful! Wonderful '' repeating the word ''epatant," which means so much in Frenchman's s mouth.
 1 M. Clemenceau is seventy-one and was mayor of the Montmartre district at the time of the last war with Ger many.

Artillery Attack Follows Cabinet Members Visit to Front in
 North.
CLEMENCEAU RISKS HIS LIFE
Paris Newspaper Gives an Interesting Example of Former Premier's Courage Under Fire-Arouses
 Admiration of Soldiers.

Paris.-The question of spies spy many incidents can be recCunted which show either that the Germans have close information on what happens in their enemy's lines or that chance is a wonderful thing. For instance, num- Der of cabinet members visited town in the north few days ago, being ac- cOmpanied by the director of an im- portant mining works near the town.
 To suit the convenience of this gen. tleman, the train that took the minis ters away was started an hour earlier than had been arranged. An hour later, at the time the train was in- tended to leave, the station underwent a hot bombardment, and thanks to the change in the time table, the minis ters escaped very bad quarter of an hour.
 Almost every returned pOilu can tell a story similar to the following: A di- vision famous for it's fighting quali- ties was suddenly moved to new po- sition so quickly that the men them selves did not know exactly where they were. Within an hour board was hoisted above the nearest German trench bearing the inscription in large letters, "Welcome to the Gallant -th Division," and giving the exact divi- sional number.
 The Cri de Paris gives another ex- ample that occurred during M. Clemen- ceau's recent visit to the front as chairman of the senate's army com mittee.
 "Tiger" Saw Slain Soldier.
 The section was very quiet, nothing had happened for days there. Earlier there had been some hot fighting and the "Tiger" could see the dead body of a French soldier still hanging on the barbed wire between the trenches.
 M. Clemenceau gazed at the poor re- mains with admiration, sadness and then fury. His eyes clouded over and words of vengeance came indiStinctly from his lips.
 At this moment an explosion was heard close by and then another. Clouds of smoke arose from near where M. Clemenceau stood and the explosions came nearer and nearer. He continued looking at the corpse of the poor soldier.
 An officer hurried up. ''Monsieur le President" he said Ga president of the council or premier remains monsieur le president all his life), the major has sent me to warn you that it's a pretty bad place where you are. It is probable that they have sighted you It's certain that barring fire is be. ginning. The major begs you to get under shelter"
 And why so?" asked M. Clemen. ceau.
 "But, Monsieur le President, you may be wounded, and then"
 "And if I were," replied the ''Tiger, "would it not be fine death at my

has not left the dominion, the state department forwards the request for a discharge to United States Consul General Foster at Ottawa. If the boy is still there, he is sent to the Ameri- can consulate under guard and turned over to MT. Foster.
 If the Canadian contingent which such a lad has joined has sailed for England, the job becomes more diff cult. Robert P. Skinner, American consul general at London, then takes up the case and appeals to the British foreign office. This request must pass through the proper official channels, and if the boy is alive, he will be To- cated eventually.
 The thing that makes difficult the task of locating these boys, however, is the almost universal tendencies Of the youngsters to give fictitious names and addresses. This naturally complicates the task.
 Many Pathetic Appeals.
 The appeals received at the state department from parents seeking their sons are pathetic in many cases. One mother wrote in saying her son was "only fourteen and merely over-large for his age" Other parents charge that their sons were forced into the service of Great Britain, though such an idea is manifestly inaccurate, as the government of Great Britain read fly releases boys who are under the proper age limit.
 At the outbreak of the war, the British authorities made only two re- quirements-that the boy be an Ameri- can citizen and under twenty-one years of age. Later, the age qualification was lowered to eighteen. Due to the volume of requests, the English au- thorities are now only releasing boys who are under that age. If the boys father is a naturalized American, the certificate of naturalization must ac- company the discharge application.
 Owing to the fact that the depart ment of state has no funds available to pay for the expenses of this work, parents are required to deposit $45, which will pay the boys passage home and when he is found, another $25 is required to buy him clothes and food.

TAX Commission
FIGHTS FOR FUNDS
Officials Ask Supreme Court to
Allow Increased Ap-
preparation

The hearing on the writ of, man
damus asked for by Geo. f. Wallace
and Frank E. Packard, representing
the Tax commission, against Carl o.
Jorgenson to compel him to credit to
the Tax commission on the auditor
books the full appropriation made by
the 1911 legislature for the support OF
the Tax commission, will be held
next Saturday.
This action is brought in order to
determine whether the appropriation
made in the budget bill as passed by
the 1915 legislature is all the money
the Tax Commission is entitled to, or
whether they get their old appropria-
ton.
The last legislature contemplated
abolishing the three-man tax commits
sion and substituting one commission
er. With this in view appropriations
were made. The Commissioner bill
was lost on the last day by one vote
in the house after one of the most
spectacular fights in any North Da'
kota legislature. ..
|, The Supreme Court held last fall
that the state auditor must pay the
salaries of the three commissioners.
The appropriation bill carried but
5000 for clerk hire, while 1911 bill
appropriated $S,400 per year. Mr.. Jor-
censor relying on the 1915 law has
refused to pay any more money to
the clerks in the commission on the
ground that there is no money.
The tax commission set up in their
application that they planned their
work, believing that the decision of
the court in the salary case of the
Commissioners entitled them to their
old appropriation. If they are shut
off from adequate clerk hire they will
not be able to carry on duties imposed
by law.
The writ will be made returnable
next week.

BEST TREAEMENT
FOR CATARRH
s. s. s. Removes the Cause.

Specialists have agreed that Ca
tarrh is an infection of the blood.
Once you get your blood cleansed of
the Catarrhal poisons you will be re-
]ieved of Catarrh-the dripping in
the throat, hawking and splitting,
sores in the nostrils, and the disa-
greeable breath. It was caused, in
the first place, because your impov-
erished blood was easily infected.
Possibly slight cold or contact with
someone who had a cold. But the
point is-don't suffer with Catarrh-
it is not necessary The remedy, S.
S. S., discovered over fifty years ago,
tested. true, and tried, is always OBJ
tainable at any drug store. 1t has
proven it's value in thousands Of
cases. It will do so in your case. Get
S. S. S. at once and begin treatment.
