CO. Ground -
(By Associated Prssa.l

Heavy fighting is in progress on the
Aisne front where the French are en-
trenched in favorable positions.
The Germans apparently have heav-
lily reinforced their troops in this Sec
tor by men drawn from the Russian
front. One subdivision was sent into
the fighting directly after its arrival,
making an attack yesterday.
The assault, while along a front of
apparently less than a mile. was of
extremely violent character. The
French stopped the German rush suf-
fering only a slight penetration of
their first line at two points aggregat-
ing between 600 and 700 yards, Paris
reports. Even this slight gain was
partly negatived this morning, when
the French recaptured a portion Of the
lost ground. The crown princes troops
lost heavily and the French captured
so prisoners.
Berlin's reports on yesterdays at
tack claim the capture OF 4,500 yards
of trenches. The French official state
ment also announced an advance by
Gen. Petain's forces in the Champagne.

a session very unlike the old time

convention, there was no lineup, and
no pledges had been exacted of any

endorse legislation for national in

the liberalization Of chambers of

preventing and prescribing penal
ties for extortionate profits exacted
by dealers in food products, to pro-

render the producer a fair and

DR.. r. A. Beard, Mrs. w. B. Han
cock and Mrs. L. r. Buxton were
speakers this afternoon at a meeting
held at the Fargo Y. NJ. c.. A, for the
purpose of promoting interest in a

was preliminary to actual organization
OF such an association, and the object
is to get the latter to a point where

including a sample of every article
that goes to equip base hospital

according to certain regulations, hence
the need of a central organization to
direct the energy of the women scat

expressed a desire to help with the,

ALL Will
ATTAIN war BASIS
BY MOBILIZATION
Uncertain Whether Fraser
Can Retain Cass Coun-
ty Office

July Is, in the opinion Of Adjutant
General Tharalson, will md the First
regiment, North Dakota National
Guard, recruited to full strength. AS
previously noted, Co. of wahpeton
already musters its full war compile
ment Of $50 men, and Co. H, James
town, has attained the same distinc-
tion. Co. X OF Dickinson ranks sec
ond, with lao; Cos. A, Bismarck; F,
Mandan; M, Grand Forks and G,
Grafton, are well over 100 men, and
the companies below that quota are
meeting with good success in recruit
ing.
Upon Governor Frazier's return
from his present league stumping
tour, which probably will be Saturday,
q conference between the chief execu-
tive, Adjutant General Tharalson,
Major G. A. Fraser Of Fargo, who is
scheduled to succeed Tharalson; Ma
jor Dana Wright, Major r. r. Steed-
man, u. s. A., and the states legal
counsel relative to the proposed
change in the adjutant generals Of
fee.
1t is not known whether the COVER
nor or Major Fraser has obtained
expert legal advise as to the possi-
bility of the latter serving as regis
trar Of deeds Of Cass county and adj
jutant general at the same time. A
Cass county commissioner Is quoted
as stating that it can be done. Others
hold that it cannot.
Should Major Fraser find it i'm
possible to retain both offices it
will be a question as to which
one he will relinquish. So far as fl
nancial gains are concerned, the Cass
county berth is much more attractive,
as the office of adJutant general pays
but $500 per annurn. If Major Fraser
becomes adjutant general, 1t will re-
suit in shift in officers of the First
regiment and may also affect COM
missions for the second. Men eligible
for commissions in the Second guard
regiment have been recommended to
the governor, and their appointment
probably will be threshed out at the
conference Saturday. That Adjutant
General Tharalson is scheduled for a
good command is the general opinion
about Bismarck, but Mr.. Tharalson
denies any present knowledge of fu-
fiIrn Mans
