Out Circular Calling Attsn-

Banks are notified, in a bulletin
issued by w. c. Macfadden, secre-
tary of the North Dakota Bankers
association, to be on the lookout for
mutilated currency.
Much of the currency taken from
the Farmers State bank of Ham
burg, n. D., when that institution
was robbed Nov. 20, is believed to
have been mutilated because OF the
overcharge used by the yeggs.
Members are asked to be on the
lookout for mutilated currency" says
the bulletin. The currency was part
ly in gold certificates among which
was one $50 bill which is missing.
There was $40 in gold coin in the
safe and about $500 in fractional
currency, half dollars, quarters,
dimes and nickels; no dollars; all of
the gold, silver, etc, must have been
badly mutilated by the terrific ex-
plosion and attempts may be made to
work it off in the state. Wire the as
ISOLATION office promptly If any of 1t
appears and get good descriptions of
parties offering it."

GERMANS FACES
SHOW HOPE LOST
EVEN In DEATH,
SAYS FINLAYSON
Snarl Displaces Peaceful
Look, He Tells Boys
Conference
HAS HELPED TO
BURY THOUSANDS
Believes Enemy Soldiers
Are Driven to Fight
Meeting Closes

The faces Of German soldiers show
the hopelessness of their cause even
in death, and the snarl displaces the
peaceful look that is seen on the
faces of fallen allied soldiers.
These are statements made by
Lieut.. G. X. Finlayson, Winnipeg, of
the Canadian expeditionary forces,
who was put out of active service
by severe leg wound suffered in the
fighting on the Somme river in
France. one of the leaders in the old
er boys conference for eastern North
Dakota, at a mass meeting for dele
gates in the First Presbyterian
church Sunday afternoon.
I've helped to bury thousands of
fallen German soldiers, he said, ''and
almost invariably found that some
thin in the expression of their faces
that told me as plainly as words
that they recognized their lost cause,
and resented being driven into a
hopeless battle.
THE expression was as much a
snarl, so unlike the peaceful appear
ance on the faces Of dead allied sol-
diers, who died happy in the thought
that their sacrifices was in a right
and just cause.
Lieutenant Finlayson reiterated his
appeal made in previous talks before

their "bit" in the war by preparing

when the call came.
The conference was brought to a
close with farewell service led by
d. e. Sonquist, state Y. NJ. G. A.

full.

auspices of the state Y. M. @. As
and the North Dakota Sunday School
association.

Great Meeting, Says Adams.
THE conference just closed was
the best that / ever attended, said
John w. Adams, general secretary OF
the Fargo Y. NJ. c. A. today, "and
great credit for its success Is due
Lieutenant Finlayson, who gave the
keynote of the whole conference.
Though just out Of a hospital, and
suffering pain from a shell-shattered
leg, Lieutenant Finlayson came to
Fargo with no remuneration, except
expenses, and with a straightforward
manly appeal for clean living and
forbearance made an impression that
will stick with those who heard him
for ever and a day.
Great credit is also due DR.. ]. M.
Walters, of st. Paul, who was for
merly pastor of the First Methodist
church here. His talks were highly
inspirational, and went straight and
true to their mark"

secretary, and James G. Garrison,
secretary of the North Dakota Sun
day School association, voiced sim
liar sentiments.
Delegates Leave For Home.
