CITY TO HAVE
A RED CROSS
Mrs. R. D. Campbell to Study
Course and Organization Will
Soon be Perfected.

Many women Of surrounding towns
are writing to the Soldiers Aid and
the Women's Relief corps of Grand
Forks for information as to what
they could do to aid the government
in war along the line of Red Cross
work and as a result a chapter Of the
Red Cross undoubtedly will be or
ganized in this city within a short
time, according to Mrs. j. B. Wine
man, one Of the moving spirits in local
patriot circles.
Mrs. r. d. Campbell. wife of DR..
r. D. Campbell, has gone to Chicago,
where she will take up a course in the
work Of the American Red Cross and
the local chapter undoubtedly will be
formed upon her return. Miss Helen
Hamilton is another Grand Forks

Tho oSldiers' Aid, which at first
wanted to carry on its activity as q
distinct organization. now believes
that it can increase its usefulness by
associating with the National Red

rived this morning in Minneapolis.

ton reporting for duty in answer to
q call for naval reserves which he re-
ccived fror': that city Saturday n:sl.t.
Deaf Mute Applies.
Another local incident of real pa
triotic fervor and devotion to country
came to light Saturday when Earl
McAdam Of East Grand Forks called
on Sergeant Earl Hanson, recruiting
officer for the Machine Gun company
and Company NJ. at h armory, and
wanted to know what he could do
for his country. McAdam is a deaf
mute. OF course. he could not be ac-
copied.
Four new recruits have been added
to Company NJ during the past two
days. one Of them being of German
parentage, Harry Fryberger. The

johnson d. Roache, a school teacher
Of Drayton, N. D., who declared no

Expect Early Call.
National guardsmen Of Grand Forks
are expecting to be called n the fed
eral service at most any time this
week, and preparations are going
ahead for an early departure OF the
boys who saw service on the Mexican
border last summer. The blankets
used by the Grand Forks boys on the
Mexican border were sent to a laun-
dry today for q cleaning as n OF the
of preparedness.
Telegraphic reports from Washing
ton indicate that the national guard
would not be called into service until
congress acts on the army bill. Then,
guardsmen will be taken into the fed
eral service and all state allegiance
Some predictions have been
made that while some guardsmen
bridges and industries, most of them
would be sent to a southern training
camp and used as a nucleus for a
larger organization.
May Have New Oaths.
The prediction Is also made that
new oaths providing for service dur-
ing the period Of III war will replace
the six-year dual oath now required
Of national guardsmen.
The Grand Forks companies are in
excellent shape. In size they COM
pare favorably with any company in
the state, but as soon as recruiting
is we'll under way they will be brought
up to war strength of 142 men each.
Company NJ has already been in
creased to II men.
