We left Bismarck on Saturday af-
te-noon at $3.50, and arrived at Camp
Green, North Carolina, Thursday
morning at daylight. We were on
the go about all the time.
l saw my father and aunt at St
Paul where we unloaded at the depot
for little exercise. also saw Fred
Petite. Mr.. Streeter and the Brad
docks.
We left there at 6 o'clock, and ar
rive.l in Chicago about noon the ne>t
day. We did a little marching, and
then on our way for Cincinnati,
Ohio, where we had five hours to our
selves, and Sergt. Brokof and myself
took in the 81. hts. 1t is some city,
you bet, but l like Minneapolis bet
ter as there are not 80 many colored
people. From there we went to
Knoxville, Tenn, which is very
pretty city. We marched around the
streets, and after we got here we saw

seen so far and there has been q

to say that Companies H, X, and A,
which is my company, made up our
train of fifteen cars.
Leaving Knoxville we passed
through some beautiful country.
| wish that the people in Emmons coun-
ty could have some of the trees that
are going to waste here.
We went around one mountain
seven times in getting down to sea
level, and also through number OF
tunnels. We passed over the highest
bridge in the world, 80 feet high.
At our camp here there are 3o,ooo
troops now, and more coming. Sol
diers from Montana, South Dakota'
Idaho, Oregon and North Dakota
make up the number.
We are all in different groups SO
far. Each company has its own mess
hall. and we sleep in tents-eight men

The Y. NJ. C. A. has large build
ing. and we are given free paper, etc
Il is fine thing for us as we get to
know each other better by getting
together there.
We don't expect to be here very
long MS some of the troops have al
ready had their oversee examination
and that means over the pond soon.

RED CROSS ITEMS

The American Red Cross has COM
pleted plans for securing frequent
standardized reports from all of its
z6UO Chapters as to th.ir financial
transactions and membership. Un-
der the new system of decentralized
administration recently adopted, the
GhnrSefs will report in every detail
every month to the thirteen Division
Managers, who in tlrn will summar-
ize the records of their respective
DIVISIONS and report to National
headquarters. All OF the work for
merly handled by the Blu. eau Of Mem
bersn.p at Washington will now be
DIVIDED among these thirteen division
headquarters, at each of when a
prominent business man, volunte ring
his service, is in charge. A uniform
system OF Chapter accounting has
been devised by the Bureau of Stand
ards. The local secretary will pub
iisn under tins NV system immedl-
ate.y after the next meeting Of the
knlmoNs county chapter officers.
The following statement has been
issued by Harvey y. Gibson, gen-ral
manager of the American Red Cross
"A story is beng circulated to the
effect that sweaters. socks and other
articles knitted for the R-d Cross are
being sold, either to the public in
shops or direct to the soldiers. This
IS emphatically not true. No arti-
cles whatever, either knitted or other
wise made by Red Cross workers and
turned into any Red Cross Chapter
Branch or Auxiliary, or to any supply
ware house, are sold either to the sol.
diers or in shops"
The growth. Of the work of all the
Red Cross Commissions in European
countries during the last two months
made the establishment of the Burear
necessary. Drugs and medical sup
plies to the value of more than $780,,
900 have already been shipped to Rus
sia, while three detachments of chile
specialists have been recruited
throughout the country for service
with the new Childrens Bureau of thu
Red Cross in France.
We now have a supply of knitting
instructions. We will mail them t
any one asking for same.
More than two thousand Red Cross
nurses are now engaged in active
nursing service, and another two
thousand in teaching and COMMITTEES
work, the National Committee OF
Nursing Of the American Red Cros
announced today. Nine THOUSAND
more stand ready to serve at once
and a number of trained nurses vol
unteering for service with the Re-
Cross now averages thousand
month.

Record subscr bers will we'll remem-
Der that since the first inception Of
the Nonpartisan league, we have bold
ly fought to protect our readers from
being made the dupes of crooked agi-
tators. The most notorious of them
was A. C. Townley. We mean it
now and we meant it then. He is
simply slippery, crooked agitator.
Having beaten the men who trusted
him out of thousands of dollars, and
having struck q bonanza by sticking
farmers, he has at last appeared as
a voluntary petitioner in bankruptcy.
Where year ago his champions were
scouting our charges that he beat his
creditors out of thousands of dollars
out at Beach, we now have his own
sworn acknowledgement that he beat
them out of many times more the
amount of money owed by the average
North Dakota farmer or business man,
either. And, that isn't all. To
show just how crooked he is, he hides
behind the time-worn cloak of the
professional crook-voluntary bank
ruptcy. He wants to get the stuff in
his own name that he has picked up
since he began farming farmers.
Another thing. He swears that
his assets, as well as those of his
brother, are only some four hundred
dollars. What has become of the
thousands of dollars that even leauge
members admit he has made out OF
the league. Two Temvik farmers
were once sent down to Fargo to find
out at first hand, If possible, whethe,
or not Townley was crooked or hon.
