Our Soldier Boys Are Soon TO Leave
For Operseas Duty And Need Funds

If you knew that the, Grand
Forks boys Of Company M and
the machine gun company were
about ready to embark for over
seas duty you would wish an op-
,portunity to say Goodbye and
God bless you" and you would be
ready to do anything you possibly
could for their comfort and good
cheer, wouldn't you?
And as they sailed away you
would shout yourself hoarse and
your eyes would be so full Of sup
pressed tears you could not dis
tinguish the faces Of the boys you
knew so we'll. And there would
be a tugging at the heart strings
that would make you wonder If
you had done everything you
could to make them realize they
had the backing Of those Of US
who were staying behind while
they went overseas to fight for
our future safety from the fate OF
Belgium and Servia. d 4

COpenhagen.


Copenhagen, Nov. 15.-Captain
Baron Won Richthofen, Germany's
leading aviator, expresses himself as
unconcerned over the reported prep
aration to place 10000 American avi-
ators on the western front. He be-
lieves it will be impossible to get to-
gether that many trained pilots as the
training is long and costly and in
wolves heavy casualties. The new
comers, he says, will, particularly at
first, "be unable to judge the mill
tary conditions and at least twenty-five
per cent of the machines will be dis
abled during the long transport
Lieutenant General Won Ardenne of
the Berliner Tageblatt, who reports
this conversation with Won Richthofen,
adds that the German air service,
which evidently has been forewarned
by newspaper discussion of American
plans, is steadily increasing the num-
ber of aviators and machines.
