Prediction for Tonight in
This Section.

The famous Field Marshal Snow
opened his offensive against the un-
fortified city of Grand Forks late last
night and kept up an incessant bom-
bardment throughout the day. De-
spite the comparative violence of the
attack, and despite the fact hat it
caused considerable surprise and con-
sternation coming at this time, the
citizens went about their work rather
philosophically and u~nperturbedly.
The only active resistance was offered
by hastily organized shovel brigades.
Early in the day it became apparent
that the strategy of the field marshal
included plans to capture the city by
siege if efforts to reduce it completely
by storm should fail utterly.
Attempts were made to interrupt
the lines of communication so as to
cut off the objective Of the campaign
from the rest Of the world. But it
was noticed that burghers made light
of the drive marshaled under the
leadership of the famous strategist
whose modes of attack are practically
the same as in ancient days of yore.

Although the barrage was much
more intense than any ever attempted
by the colleagues Of Field Marshal
Snow way over in Flanders, and al

hurled against the city was quite be-
yond comparison in the annals of
modern warfare, people kept smiling
merrily and even were heard to re-
mark that such a.bombardment was
just what was needed in order to have
the ground properly soaked. Such
%utterances were not considered trait
orous or even disloyal.

LONE 6. F, NEGRO
RECISTRANT HAS
RIDDLE TO SOLVE
One Drafted Colored Man
Uncertain Which Part
of Body to Send.

There is one negro among the draft
ed men Of Grand Forks county. FIe is
trying to figure out today which part
of his body he will have to send to
training camp in order to comply with
the instructions sen from the pro-
vost marshal general at Washington
who has ordered Adjutant General
Fraser at Bismarck to move zone per
cent of the states colored quota" The
list of colored men eligible in the en-
tire state contains only fifty names.
One per cent of this number means
that n half of a negro has tt be
sent. 3,
Whether that percentage will be Sc
lected from the draft negro popula-
ton Of Grand Forks county, i. e., one
whole man, has not been stated, but
the local board is curiously awaiting
further instructions from the mathe-
maticians Of the war department.
That the drafted negroes also are
awaiting instructions with consider
able anxiety may be added as a mat
ter OF course. But it is said they are
willing to submit to mutilation for the
sake of their country if need be.

UNKNOWN CRAFT

was sighted last night by the Wilson
motor schooner Ida MAY. according to
a report made to Capt. William Z. Eos
ter. harbormaster this morning by her
skipper. The Ida May arrived from
Molokai late last night. She did not
make out the steamers identity.
The vessel is believed to have been
the Matson liner Manoa, which left
this port at 9 o'clock last evening for
Kahului. Castle & Cookies shipping
department said il had received no wire
less from the Manoa. The liner may
have met minor engine room trouble
and stopped her engines while making
repairs.
For a while it was thought the
steamer might have been the American
Hawaiian freighter Texan. but as she
steamed from Kahului last night for
Hilo direct she would not have been
in the vicinity of Makapuu point at
any time en- route to the Big Island
port.

That there is some chance Of saving

Supt. William Mckay. who Is at the
scene of the wreck. The message was
brought by the Kilauea, which arrived
this morning. bringing back the Maui's

Captain Williamson is said to have
told Captain A. c. Simerson, master of
the Kilauea, that the night was very
dark and the weather thick, although
II was not raining. He saw the flash

took it for Japanese fishing sampans

the light came from the lighthouse he
altered his course, but 1t was too late
