will solicit their aid.
The laws of North Dakota are very
stringent regarding registration and
requires that the baby be registered
Immediately after birth. This is the
duty Of the physician in charge and in
case there Is no physician the parents
should make sure that the birth is a
matter of official record with the
county. Very frequently long and ted
ious trials to determine heirs is the

laxity in this respect. In some in

be determined because of the death

Salvation Army Planning
More Extensive Work

The capital city Salvation army is
planning for more extensive work in
it's barracks under the direction of
Capt. Murphy. Capt. Murphy has Sc.
cured Evangelist Edwin A. Wilmer,
missionary and Salvation army Off.
Ger of long experience in many coun.
tries, to conduct a weeks revival
campaign from Tuesday, May l to Z.
The local S%alvationists are arrang-
ing a full program, meetings to be
held during each day and evening.
Mr.. Wilmer will have on exhibit Gu
rios from Zululand, a country he
spent a number of years in laboring
among the natives. Special music by
the band and songster brigade will
mark the services. Capt. Murphy en-
tends an invitation to the general
public to attend the meeting.
In behalf of the local work Capt.
Murphy is making an appeal for boys
clothing. It seems the army is well
supplied with sufficient clothing for
girls. but ia short on clothing for
boys. Just nov the demand far en-
ceeds the supply, and if any mother
in the city has boys clothing to give
away the army will be most thank.
full to receive them.
The Salvation army work in the
state has been somewhat hampered
with the invasion of workers of the
Volunteers Of America, who have no
establishment in the state. Dona.
lions intended for the Salvation army
have found their way into this new
organization, and tho Salvation army
workers are anxious to protect their
friends by this announcement. A
man by the name Of Capt. Throck-
morton is now making a tour of the
state in the interests of the volun-
teers.

British conveying Sims to HoIlan

British conveying Ships to Holland.
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, August
Sl-A record convoy has just reach
ed Rotterdam from England number
ing seventeen ships. The escorting
squadron was likewise probably an
easy record for this route, comprising
as it did, forty torpedo destroyers.
The British convoy between Britain
and Holland is now a regular institu-
ton, and is doubtless typical of what
takes place on far wider and ex-
tending scale in the Entente shipping
world. The on-admittance of armed
merchantmen to Dutch ports has made
conveying essensial on this route.
Times of sailing are kept secret. The
boats collect somewhere in British
waters, and sailing orders reach them
on short notice. The crossing fire.
quently takes place at night. Some of
the escorting destroyers go on ahead;
others rush along at great speed on
either flank of the merchantmen, turn
ing and twisting and making all kinds
of strange evolutions calculated to
ward off and endanger the lurking Ger
man submarine. Three or four Dutch
boats are often included in the con-
voy, for the crossing of the North
Sea alone, with no protection save that
OF neutral flag, has proved to be
merely asking for destruction.
Arrived on the Netherlands side
the escorting squadron stops short on
the border of Dutch waters, and the
merchantmen go safely on into their
ports of destination, constantly pass
ing close by the German cargo-boats
that have recently taken to trading
with coal between Rotterdam and the
Scandinavian ports through the chan
mel of Dutch territorial waters.
Shortly afterward returning con-
voy, which has been lying in the New
Waterway, energies and, under the

protection of the warships, swiftly
takes its way westward, heavily laden
with Dutch cheese, butter, eggs and
meat. Of late the convoy has crossed
and re-crossed in this way once a
week, incidentally conveying the mail
either way The mail from England is
always very considerable, including
like $4,000 or 10000 parcels
of food for British prisoners of war in
Germany Occasionally straggler
falls victim to a torpedo, and mine
victims used to be heard of, but the
convoy method on the whole appears
t. be remarkably successful.
