preparation. This will not be true TO 80
sibly third North Dakota regiments,
TO be raised as this states contribu-
ton TO the selective service army. 1t
Is probable that not only these new
troops from North Dakota, but from
South Dakota as well, will train at
Fort Lincoln. This will mean at least
six months occupation of the fort by
state troops to which no doubt will be
that other men will be modified there.
Recent orders OF the war department,
subsequent to those which indicate
that state troops already organized
are to proceed direct from company
stations to their concentration camps,
give grounds for this belief.

County Commissioner c. c. Ramsay
is quoted by The Star as favoring in
vestigation OF the work of public road
inspectors, in an effort to determine
responsibility for the failure Of expens-
i've highways to stand wear and tear.
"In my opinion, 2 said Mr.. Ramsay, sit
is criminal for contractors to disre-
gard specifications when they are re-
ceiving $4,000 to $50, 900 a mile for
the work" 1t is encouraging TO note
that the county's business managers
intend to investigate. They will find,
doubtless, that during the regime Of
their predecessors in office that there
was collision between inspectors and
contractors. The Islands can furnish
some shining examples of road build
ing where specifications were disre-
garded.

The censorship regarding the do

be entirely too strict The papers of
England and France treat with free
dom news regarding the arrival of
American troops, and dispatches from
Berlin even give us information
about our troops that is withheld by
the American censor. No one ex-
poets that the associated press should
be permitted to announce the time
of the departure of any of our troops,
but once they are landed in France
we believe the people are entitled to
know more about their welfare than
is now being given out.
