COMPLAINTS
REACH FARGO
GAINESVILLE, Breckenridge,
and Other Towns Not
Getting Papers

Complaints in regard to changes
made in the railway postal mail SER
vice, effective Friday, June Is, have
begun to reach Fargo from Barnes
vile, Baker and Sabin, and towns
along the Great Northern line between
Fargo and Breckenridge. The most
serious phase of the murmurs are
that the residents of the towns do not
get their Fargo newspapers.
When the matter was called to the
attention of the chief mail clerks Of
flee in the federal building this morn
ing, statement was made to the eff
feet that the Fargo newspapers would
be shown course whereby their Gus
toners could be served despite the
fact that trains Nos. IL and IL, OPP
Grating over the Fergus Falls division,
and Ii and IA, over the Breckenridge
division, do not have mail clerks be-
tween GAINESVILLE and Fargo, and
Breckenridge and Fargo. Train No
80, on the Great Northern does not
carry any local mail either unless it is
made in direct sacks to stop stations.
To meet the situation, the railway
postal office advises that it will be
necessary for the publishers to make
up a separate pouch for Sabin, Baker
and GAINESVILLE. The GAINESVILLE
pouch will then be thrown off by the
baggageman on No. 80 at GAINESVILLE,
and the Sabin and Baker pouches
thrown off at these two stations by
the baggageman on No. II, thus giving
subscribers the same service as
previously

AMERICANS PART OF

(By Associated <PressO

Paris, June 18.-The American en-
listed men who came to France with
Major General Pershing are having
experience with foreign habits
languages and rations which indicate
what the main body of American
troops will find when it arrives. The
Americans are quartered at the
Pepiniere barracks, a huge quadri-
lateral on Place st. Augustin one Of
the central locations Of Paris. There
are housed troops from all the entente
allied nations including Russians,
Serbians, Belgians, Rumanians, Can
adams, Australians and New Zealand
ers. The vast central court presents
strange sight in the mingling of the
uniforms and flags of the various ma
TONS
Each contingent has it's own drills
and it's own living and eating quarters
but when the men are off duty the
court is crowded with the soldiers, at
tempting to make themselves under
stood with signs. The American
troops are on French military rations
which they like better than American
or British rations for in addition to
an abundance of we'll cooked food they
embrace the regular French allow
ance of wine which however may be
discontinued when the American ra-
tons are established.
The chief novelty for the Americans
is the continental breakfast restricted
to bread and coffee. Lunch and din
tner are served in courses with plenty
of meat and vegetables. The sleeping
quarters are plain and comfortable
with ample sanitary arrangements.
