bELG|UM'S ARMY
ISREADY TO FIGHT
Ten Divisions Can Take Part
in Flanders When
Word Is Given.
WORK OF RESTORATION

HAvRE, November Is tby maiD.-
Ten divisions strong, the Belgian army
is ready to take its part IN the ohen-
sive in Flanders whenever the word is
given. The Belgian minister of war to-
day told the Associated Press that the
Belgian army was composed OF 1l7.ooo
men at the beginning of the war. in
creased by 10000 volunteers in August
1914 and reduced to 10000 men after
the battle of the User. Since then. by
the enrolment of Belgian refugees and
the enlistment of volunteers who have
braved the live-wire barriers on the
Holland frontier. it has been brought
IN to ten divisions of well trained
troops.
IF our army has not undertaken OPP
erations of a wider scope up to this
time" said the minister, 1T is because
1t does not devolve on it to decide the
moment when these operations should
begin. The army is only a part of the
combined allied forces, acting in unison
and in accordance with carefully de-
veloped plans. The army has valiantly

fervor and awaits impatiently the

IL TIMES as Many Machine Guns.

Tn August, 1917, the army had
twelve times as many machine guns as
in 1914, seven times as many field guns
and heavy pieces with five times as
much ammunition as was on hand at
the outset of hostilities
The impression that has gotten
abroad that the Belgian army was re-
organized and re-equipped entirely by
our allies is an error" he added BEL
GUM. exiled and deprived of all her re-
sources, received generous hospitality
and powerful aid from her glorious al
lies. It was on French and British
soil that all was to be done, but Bel
gians themselves took up the work of
reconstruction. The Belgian army
created by its own efforts the greater
part of what was indispensable for it
to live and fight. It is building its own
cannon. making its own powder and
its own projectiles"

Restoration Since August, 1914.

Summarizing the work of the Belgian
army during the war and referring TO
its difficulties and lack of equipment.
the minister recalled that in August,
1914, the army had only one machine
gun for each 1000 men, only three field
guns per 400 men with ammunition for
only about 500 shots for each piece. 1t
had no light mortarS. no heavy artil-
lery, no grenades. no trench equipment.
no ambulances, no pontoon crews. not

The Belgian army organized this front
and held 1T alone until the middle of

defenses in this part of the front where

were not only built there by the Bel

communications with the rear were
constructed with barracks and hospi-
tails.

National President
OF w. r. 9. Pays
Visit To Fargo

A special meeting of the local w. r.
G. held Saturday afternoon in @. A.
r. hall was one Of unusual interest, as
the members Of the corps were called
together to meet their national presi-
dent. Mrs. Ida X. Martin. of Mime
apolis.
Most Of the time was devoted to q
very fine address by Mrs. Martin, who
feels especially close to North Dakota
because ofbthe fact that when she was
national senior vice president of the
w. r. c., Mrs. Kate @. Vallandingham
OF Valley City, was junior vice presi-
dent. Mrs. Martin urged the import
ance of Red Cross work in her brief
address, and especially an identifica-
ton of the local corps with the Ma
tional Relief association.
She also spoke Of the cottage plan
adopted for the housing Of guests
visiting the Andersonville prison, these
cottages being furnished by different
relief corps and she urged the Fargo
w r. e. to spur North Dakota on to
having a share in the work. Mrs. Mar
/ tin pointed out that although the Ma
tional w. r. c. has reached the f1ve
million dollar mark in it's relief work
for the old soldiers. IL has by no means
reached the end OF its work, but must
be active in teaching patriotism to the
young men of today, and be in readi-
ness TO relieve the victims Of the pres.
ent war.
Mrs. Martin was on her way home
from Butte, Mont, where she visited
the Montana state w. r. G. depart
ment, and left here Saturday night

Miss Moen's Post
GRADUATE Recital
Pleasing Event

One of the most artistic musica,
events given under the Dakota con-
servatory auspices this spring was the
post graduate recital by Miss Ethe
Moen, pianist, Friday evening al
Stones hall. The audience more than
filled the hall, as Miss Moen is a fav-
orite with many music lovers of the
city. The faultlessness Of her technique
perfect memory work, and artistic
Interpretation throughout of a very
difficult program won for her most
enthusiastic applause, and from heI
opening number Mendelssohn's Fan
tasia, to her last, the LisZt- -Busoni
Spanish Rhapsody, she held her de-
lighted audiences closest attention.
Miss Moen was assisted by the
popular soprano, Miss Mildrid Roms-
dahl, whose marriage was a pretty
event of last Saturday evening. The
singer, who was beautifully accom-
panied by Miss Bertha Hagen, OF the
conservatory faculty. was in fine
voice, and was received with the usual
acclaim. One of the most pleasing OF
her contributions to the program was
Elsa's Dream, from Lohengrin, and
three charming modern songs made up
her second group.
Both Miss Moen and Miss Roms-
dahl received many beautiful gifts OF
flowers from admiring friends.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1917-05-28

were much pleased with the rendition
of the numbers in the three groups
which she played.
She was assisted by Miss Violet Nell
son, soprano, who was in splendid
voice. Miss Nelson appeared in two
groups, and her clear tones were es-
pecially pleasing in the Mackenzie
Spring Song.
Combined with the program was the
graduate recital of Miss Mildred Scott.
contralto, who was prevented by ILL
ness from appearing when scheduled
recently. Miss Scott surprised all pres
ent by the beautiful quality of her
voice, and her low notes proved to be
of an unusual solidity. She did not
lack in temperament, as do many con-
tralto singers apparently, and this
quality Of temperament was especially
prominent in her aria from Samson
and Delilah, by Saint-Saens Another
of her numbers that proved a favorite
was Aylward's Beloved II Is Morn.
Miss Mabel Bowers was a very
pleasing accompanist for Miss Scott.
as was Mrs. H. E. More for Miss Nell
son.
All of the solo artists appearing on
this program received quantities of
lovely floral gifts.

OF this week is the third annual dance
recital in which Mrs. Juliet deLen-
dFecie win present seventy Ave of her
pupils, of ages varying from tiny tots

toe dances, and various pretty spec
tacuiar features will be introduced.
Many will remember with much pleas
ure the very attractive program that

drecie pupils last year. and additional
interest is stirred this year by the
beautiful folk dancing demonstration
held at the A. c. armory last Friday
evening under the direction of the not
ed authority on that art, Miss Mary
Wood Hinman, OF Chicago.
Miss Hinman paid vry high trib-
ute to the splendid quality of Mrs,
deLerdrecie's work in Fargo, saying
that the A. G.. demonstration could not
have been put on with such short
preparation had 1t not been for the
previous instruction along those lines
given many Of the participants by
Mrs deLendrecie. In all OF the groups
appearing Friday evening except three,
were young people who are either TAX
ing instruction now or who have been
dancing pupils OF Mrs. deLendrecie.
Miss Hinman predicts brilliant fu-
ture in this art for Mrs. deLendrecte,
and compliments highly the complete
ness of the latter's mastery of the
principles involved in this revival of
folk and kindred dances. Local ad-
n1irers will be interested to learn that
Mrs. deLendrecie was for several
years a pupil of Mary Louise Zerr,
first at st. Mary's academy, Nauvoo,
