DEPICT GREAT
WORK OF &c.
Interstate Fair Display En-
HANGED yStriking Signs
to Show Need For Aid

Several new and attractive post
ers and signs have been erected al
the Red Cross tent, urging all per-
sons to join the association and to
do their share towards helping the
Red Cross to care for the soldiers
and sailors who have offered their
services to their country.
A special invitation is extended to
the Fargo women to visit the tent
| on Thursday afternoon as this is
Fargo day and a number of the wo-
men have not as yet taken up this
work, and it is desired that they do
so at once. Mrs. n. G.. Young will
| give a talk on Thursday afternoon
| and will speak of the duties of the
women toward this work. Any in
formation regarding the various
lines of work will be gladly given by
any of the women at the tent.
Friday will be given over to the
women of the county and it is urged
that as many of them AS possible
visit the fair. A visit to the Red
| Cross headquarters is we'll worth the
time and is certain to prove of much
value to any one who is interested in
the work.
Speakers this afternoon were H.
Curran Wilbur, state secretary of
the association, who took as his sub
ject, Methods of Organization. Mr..
chapters throughout the state and
paid special attention to the work
in the county. Mrs. L. r. Buxton
also gave a talk during the after
noon, and her general subject was
Supplies. Mrs. Buxton told of the
great need for the Various articles
that the national association has
called for. and then gave general
description of each article. Simple
directions for the making of these
much needed things were also in
Guided in Mrs. Buxton's address.
Practically all of the work, with the
exception of the gauze work, can be
done without supervision, and it is
urged that all the women who pos
sibly can, offer their services to the
local chapter to assist them in the
great work that they have under
taken.
Special attention was given to the
demonstration Of making hospital
bed shirts, head and T bandages,
operating helmets and caps today.
Another interesting exhibition was
that of the rolling of the bandages
that are required. AS these are torn
they are wrapped in a soft roll first
and are then put through roller and
rolled hard, the reason for the last
process being to make them more
compact in order to make them cas-
Ter to ship. allowing more to be pack
ed in one box than If they were
loosely rolled.
The members of the supplies COM
mittee wish to again call attention
to the matter of supplying flowers
to the tent. All who have flow
ers that they wish to contribute are
asked to have them at the Red Cross
room in the Y. w. C. A., building in
thes city before o'clock in the
morning and they will be called for
Mrs. r. w. Johnston will be at fair
headquarters each day and will
gladly give any information or in
struction regarding the knitted ar
ticles that are needed. A number of
the women who feel that they can
not do any Of the other work, could
take up this feature and their ser
vices would be greatly appreciated
as there is a great demand for the
knitted articles.

SEES ATTACK
BY SUBMARINE
ON DESTROYER
Associated Press Cores
pendent Tells of Narrow
Escape
TORPEDO MISSED
BY SIX FEET
Wireless Sends Out Warn
ing and Search Is
Begun
tBy Associated Press.)

A British Portion the southeast
coast, July 25, by mail. Just how a
British destroyer acts when attacked
by submarines was Unexpectedly
demonstrated TO an Associated Press
correspondent while travelling on one
Of the modern oil driven torpedo boat
destroyers from England to France.
The correspondent had been taken
aboard the destroyer for observing
the British method OF combating
the submarine when the boat was
attacked by a submarine, a torpedo
missing II by scant six feet thanks
to the vigilance and quick action Of
the crew.
The destroyer was one of a GER
tain number which were conveying,
in the usual manner, some large
transports carrying British troops
TO France. The group of ships was
half way across the channel when
suddenly one of the lookouts saw a
pair of twin periscopes rise for a
moment a few inches out of the wa
ter a half mile away. They were
gone the next instant but almost be-
fore they had gone came the shout:
Submarine on port bow. On every
ship things began to happen more
quickly than the telling. Guns were
swung in the direction from which
the submarines had been seen ready
TO speak IL they appeared again.
Torpedo tubes were likewise swung
into line and the numerous anti
submarine devices along the decks
were in the hands of their skilled
expert crews.
But even while this was being
done came the torpedo clearly visible
from the deck it's cleaning brass
body gIistening in the bright sun
light, it's propellers sending 1t at the
rate of express train speed straight
toward the destroyer. Something was
wrong with the mechanism of this
particular torpedo for ii should have
travelled IL or Is feet below the sur
face Instead IL came bounding along
in plain sight, leaping out Of the
water like a fat stone made to skip
over the surface. Even thus IL might
have found it's target but for the
presence of mind of the 60-year- old
coxswain. He had been first TO sight
the periscope and rushed immedi-
ately to an emergency lever where
by he instantly stopped the port en-
CINE thus swinging the ship with a
lurch to the left. The torpedo whiz-
zed through the water six feet be-
hind the stern of the destroyer and
1t sank into the swirl of the engines.
Meanwhile the wireless was at
work notifying the hundreds of pa
