U.S.. to Back Loan Of
$250,000,000 to Caranza
Government In Mexico

Washington, Aug. 2O.-After more
than two years of pleading for finan.
cial assistance the Mexican govern.
ment has been assured that American
money can be secured. 1t was learned
today that the American government
has finally conveyed the intimation to
American bankers that it's faith in the
Carranza government has grown to
the extent that it feels justified in ex-
tending moral endorsement of a loan
The American bankers never were
aVerse to placing money in Mexico if
assurance of some sort could be had
1rom the state department that their
investment would be safeguarded. The
exact charact of the assurance now
given them has not been revealed, bu,
1t is understood that in the event
Mexican loan is floated in this country.
president Carranza will agree to re-
ceive advice as to it's expenditure, and
to a degree of supervision. Mexico
Will try to obtain at least $25O0OO, 900
The Mexican congress authorized the
floating of $15O,OQO,OOO loan and in
addition to that $1oOO0O,O0O will be
asked for the reha bilitatfon of the rail-

US. Destroyer Plants
Pushed to Limit; Plan
Of Daniels in Sub War

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Preliminary
steps toward providing the navy with
as many additional destroyers as
American plants can turn out, were
taken up by Secretary Daniels today
at conference with more than a
score of shipbuilders, engine makers
and representatives of other indus
tries.
Information was submitted by the
builders as to what they could do in
the way of expanding facilities, taxed
to the limit Of their present capacity
with destroyers already under con.
struction. Navy officials will study
the reports and suggest definite plan
for the accomplishment of their pur.
pose which is to make the United
States first in destroyers, the arch
enemy of the submarine.
The main difficulty is to find facili:
ties for turning out the engines. To.
days conference dealt largely with
this aspect.
|. The destroyer has proved itself by
experience the most efficient U-boat
hunter because of it's speed and sea-
going qualities. The more destroyers
that can be turned to patrolling ocean
lanes, the greater will be the safety
OF cargo craft and transports.

Committee Ladies to
Have Mess Fund Dance

The ladies committee have decided
that they will do their bit toward Com
pany G's mess fund by giving a dane
ing party at the Armory next Friday
evening, Aug. 24.-The have arranged
to have the Armory for that evening,
and the men who are bunking there
have decided that if they can obtain
permission they will stay up a little
later that evening and enjoy the fes-
tivities. There will be no doubt about
permission being given for such an oc-
casion as this. The floor will be clear
ed of all hunks, and the best of music
has been obtained, so that the dancing
folk of Valley City, will have an op-
portunity to enjoy a good mid-sum-
mer dance. Any dance that the ladies
OF the city have put on in the past has
been enjoyed, and to know that they
are going to give party means that
it is party that will be enjoyed.
This will be very good way to do
a small bit towards the mess fund, and
will not be drain upon anyones
purse. Every one who buys ticket,
whether it is intended going to the
party or not will know that it is be-
ing done to the end that the men from
Valley City and Barnes county who
are going to the front with the home
company will be provided with those
little things which go to make a meal
all that 1t should be to satisfy the
appetite.

tion that when the cover is closed and
the front door is in position, the me-
chanism is effectively protected
against dust and moisture. The wind
ing crank hole has guard and dust

carries over 200 yards while the tones
are soft and mellow. The sale of the
Army and Navy Model will be con-
fined to the United States government
and to religious organizations or 9th
er organizations which desire to pres.
ent or lend monographs to units of
the army or navy, or to army or navy
training camps, recreation
camps, etc. This special model will
not be manufactured in sufficient quan.
titles to supply it to individuals for
their individual use. If an individual
desires to present one of the Army and
Navy models to a unit of the army and
navy, or to hospital, training camp
or recreation camp, he can, upon prop
er showing to that effect, purchase one
or more of the models for that pur-
pose. But in no case would he ask the
privilege of purchasing an Army and
Navy Model for his own individual
use.
A nice suggestion is that record
shower be given to add records to the
collection, few were provided with

Dakota Drug Co., from which the in
strument was purchased, and while

Hoover, the food administrator, today
on the stabilization Of sugar prices in

Beet sugar producers also saw Mr..
Hoover and discussed the prices at
which the million tons of beet sugar
to be produced between now and the
end Of the year, shall be marketed.
The prices contemplated range from
$6.75 to $3.50 a hundred, or from one
to one and half cents under present
quotations. No settlement however,
was reached. >
Sugar probably will be the next food
to be put under government regulation

North Dakotans Arrive Safely
at Camp Cody, Dening, N. M.

Deming, N. NJ, Aug. 2O.--With the
arrival at Camp Cody at Deming to-
day Of company of the first North
Dakota Infantry, the Field Hospital
from the same state, an infantry com
pany from Iowa, Troop A, First Iowa
Cavalry and three companies from
Nebraska, the tent city Of $4,000 ma
tional guardsmen is being spread for
three months training.
Two trains carrying the North Da-
kota and Iowa men stopped in the Ell
Paso union station yards two hours,
while the men ate dinner and spent
their brief rest in this city buying
souvenirs. All the soldiers were in ex-
cellent health, the oficres said, and
ready to see their tents and begin
policing the camp of more that $50
mess houses and kitchens and supply
warehouses, as soon as the present
camp commander Brigadier General
F.. L. Winn, assigns them to camping
sites. "
Only battalion of the Gath Negro
infantry preceded the guardsmen to
the camp. 1t is presumed that organi-
cation will move elsewhere. It is COM
posed of veterans of the Mexico ex-
pedition. The big camp is still under
construction, about 200 carpenters
and other workmen being employed.
Quartermaster Major Charles H. Mil
Ter has ordered that no visitors be al
lowed in camp without permission,
which the guardsmen arriving will
carry into execution. So photogra phs
are permitted. Passes are required
from every man entering the reser-
vation, except those in uniform.
Postmaster w. E. Foulks is assem-
bling his force of clerks for the large
postoffice in camp. The base hospital
is under construction. A staff of med
ical reserve officers already having ar
rived at Deming. Lieutenant Foster,
paymaster, has requisitioned one mil
lion, five hundred thousand dollars for
August payments, including salaries.
Deming city is already filled with
transient people. Rooms are bringing
high prices where there are a few
to be had, officers taking what they
can get in private homes.
General A. P. Blocksom, division
commander, is expected to reach Camp
Cody with his staff this week from
San Antonio. General H. T. Allen will
command an Iowa brigade.

Gardner Tells When
Selectiye Service Man
Faces Death Penalty

Washington, Aug 2O.-At what mo.
ment does selective service man be-
come actually soldier? Merely reg
lsterlng or passing his physical exam
nation does not make him soldier
Just when does the change take place.
The question has become important
owing to the threat of extreme penal
ties for desertion. A soldier is not a
deserter until he has become a soldier
and deserter. The penalties for refus-
ing to register are named in the draft
law. They consist of Jail penalties.
But resisting the federal government
after the draft law has become oper-
atlye is very different matter-dealt
with by courtmartial followed by ex-
treme penitentiary sentences and even
the firing squad.
There is an oath administered to
members of the selective service armv
according to Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
There has been no formal ruling in
that matter" said Major Gullion, "but
IN tne absence of any provision in the
law, 1t Is safe to say the oath is not
required to make the selective service
man soldier. He become a soldier
at the moment specified in the notice
he receives. For instance, II he is told
to report at noon September /, 1917, at
certain place, he becomes soldier
at that moment"
The absence of any oath-taking by
these men will be unusual. When a
man joins the regular army or state
militia or navy, his formal entrance
into the nations service is marked by
his oath to support the constitution
and true allegiance bear" to the
United States of America. This oath
Is what constitutes the volunteer, All
members of the regular army are VOL
unteers. Likewise the state militia.
When the state militia were on the
Mexican border and were incorporated
into the federal service, they were
asked to take the oath, volunteering
for federal service. They were not
commanded to take such oath. Unless
the oath were taken voluntarily it
would have no effect. This applies in
the case of the selective service army.
Being drafted, the selective service
men have no choice whether or not to
serve; they must serve land true allie.
glance bear" To ask them to swear
to do what they must do, would be a
surplusage.
