commandant of Camp Dodge, the
Thirteenth division cantonment, has
seen widely varied military service
since his graduation from West Point
in 1877.
Served in Spain.
Back in 1898, in the war with Spain,
he organized and commanded the
Thirty fifth United States volunteers,
turning out efficient soldiers from raw
recruits in less than three months.

ment at Camp Dodge.
His recent years of service have
been filled with climatic and other
changes. and his assignment to Camp
Dodge came while he was in com
mand of the Panama canal zone, a po.
sition he had occupied only since last
April.
General Plummer was born in Mary

pointed to West Point from that state.

T01TEN AND
MUIR NAMED
FOR REGENCY
Renewal Of Governor Frazier
Fight on Board Indicated
by Appointment

George A. TOtten of Eowman and
Ro 1ert Muir of Earles late last eve
ming were commissioned by Governor
Frazier members of the state board
OF regents. II is presumed their ap-
pontment Is to succeed Lmil SCOw of
Bowman and j. A. Power of Leonard,
members whose terms expired July
|, but who have held over, contend
ing their successors were not legally
appointed by the governor with tho
approval and consent OF the senate
OF the last assem- Jly. The commits
sions as registered in the secretary
of state do not indicate the period
for which they are given. They are
made effective August 81.
Muir and Totten are members OF
the uuintette whose appointment the
governor recommended to the senate
last winter. A third member of this
group already has been seated on
the board, kev. C. +. Vermilya OF
Valley City having taken the place
vacated by the resignation OF Col
Frank White of the Second. Kew
Vermilya's original commission from
Governor Frazier read for the unex-
pired term ending July ], 1919. This
commission later was returned ana
destroyed and Rev. Vermiya given a
new petition which dates from Au-
gust %, 1917, but does not specify
the date upon which his term ends.
The state board Of regents IS IN
session today at Fargo. Inquiries at
the governors office failed to reveal
whether a demand for seats on the
board would be made today at the
Gate City by Totten and Muir. Tot
ten had been about the city for sew
eral days, but is absent today so
far as the governors office seemed
to know, he may be in Tappen or
Timbucto. No proceedings had been
Instituted in supreme court at noon
today. The present board of regents
in defending custer proceedings IN
stituted by the governor last spring
endeavored to get a ruling on the
right of the governor to name as in

and Power, but the court declined to

Turning to the aggressive on the
Aisne front in northern France where
they have been withstanding persist
ent German attacks for weeks past
the French yesterday struck a sharp
and heavy blow at the crown princes
line.
Here in swift thrust General Pc
tain's attacking forces bounded for
ward more than 800 yards on front
of three quarters Of a mile in the Hur
tebise region, on the Chemin des
Zames, between Craonne and Ccrny.
This stroke, which may prove to be
merely local affair for the begin
ming of a more extensive movement in
this area. seems to have given Gen
eral Petain firm hold on the ground
gained for the repuii3 81 three colIn-
ter attacks as reported. The French
took $50 prisoners.
The attack followed a week Of al
most total inactivity on the French
front, except for small operations,
such as trench raids and minor sur
prise thrusts. The British likewise
haze lcen abstaining from any major
movement, but there was a big in
crease in the artillery firing on the
! rench front.

front show Cc1 eral Cadorna is again
hammcring at the Austrian lines at
selected points and gradually improv-
ing his position. This Improvement
was effected both on the south, in the
direction of Tricst, and in the north
ern front of the attack in the region
of Gorizia. The italian lines in their
new positions now appear to be firmly
organized.

that bullet had been found in the
head of each, indicating murder and
suicide. Information obtained that
the cause for the act was jealousy.

Amsterdam. Sept News has
been received here that permission
for the expectation of wheat and flour
already loaded on ships in American
ports for Holland has been refused.
to this effect is made
in an official communication to the
communal authorities, explaining the
latest rejection in the bread ratlons,
and urging economy.
The announcement adds:
ave therefore, now know with GER
tainty that the importation of bread
grain from America cannot be reck-
oned upon and that we shall have to
cndeavor to get along with what Is
available here.
ct is said that some of the grain
loaded on ships for Holland has de-
teroriated owing to the long delay
and that if shipped to this country its
use for food cannot be reckoned on.
Eecause of this situation, the eX-
change of communications between
the Dutch government and its minis
ter at Washington in regard to obtain
ing grain has been brought to sud
den end
An agreement has been pending be-
tween the United tates and Holland
for the release of 80 or more Dutch
vessels loaded with Dutch grain, own
ed by the Dutch government ,on con-
dition that a share of the wheat shall.

SEEKING HAPPINESS FUTILE
Experience Not Gained by Pursuit, but
Comes to One Who Does Kind
Deed Without Thinking Of 1t.

Those who seek happiness never find
tia truism that has been going the
rounds since philosophers began get.
ting their words into print or upon
craven tablets, observes the Dayton
News. But it is well to repeat it Oc-
casionally, to keep 1t ever before the
masses of humanity, that it may be-
come so much a part Of our creed and
faith that the youngest among us and
the oldest may realize the full meaning
of the expression.
There is no, greater unhappiness
than that of pursuing happiness, for
happiness is never overtaken by those
who pursue it. Happiness comes to
him who is not thinking of it; to him
who is doing something for others,
with never thought of his own hap
piness. No man has ever yet followed
course of conduct with his own hap
piness in view and achieved his pur-
pose.
Service to others-that Is all there
is to life that savors of happiness. The
service need not be great; 1t Is given
to few persons to be of great service.
And those who are Of great service do
not realize it--they do not start out
with that in view.
To be kind and courteous and con-
siderate Of the comfort of others-that
is the service which brings happiness.
The man who helps a crippled old
xxox-oon ,,Don tho otroof cor 10 no ppjor
for doing so. The fellow who stops to
wipe away the tear from the eyes Of
a child who bruised It's hand the wom-
an who visits sick neighbor to see If
she can be Of any use; the man who
puts another in position to help him
self-these little services are quite
great in the realm of things that 60 to
make for happiness. And they are
possible with all Of us.

J. Howard Berry, the University Of
Pennsylvania star, has unquestiOnably
earned the title as the most versatile
athlete ever developed at the Red and
Blue institution. Berry has been such
an asset to the athletic teams of the
Quaker college that the students al
most worship the ground he walks on.
Many world-famous athletes have
worn the Red and Blue "P," including
Alvin Kraenzlein and Don Lippincott,
but all must bow to the great Berry.
Besides showing unusual efficiency in
track and field sports, Berry has earn
ed high praise with his playing on foot
ball and baseball teams. Trap shoot
ing recently gained another enthusi-
asst in Berry, and no less an authority
than Bob Folwell predicts a great flu
ture for him with the gun.
Would Enter Service.
Berry is to be graduated from Penn
this JUNE, but it is likely that he will
leave college sooner, as he has enlisted
in the third officers training corps. He
was the first to offer his services at
the university camp.
The achievements of Berry on track
and field stand out most cOnspicuously.
The year 1917 saw him establish a
precedent in the history Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania relay games in
winning the PenthalOn college cham

Where Men Embrolder.

Embroidery might be called the
household industry of Japan, and 1t
is an industry-or an art, perhaps one
would better say-that has been hand,
ed down in the same families for many
generations. Men, as well ee women,
are engaged in the work, Which Is
done in the homes or In small shops
where they have few apprentices,
usually from three to ten, and a num-
Der of skilled embroiderers. The ma
jority of the workers are men who
have been trained as apprentices to
produce the finer grade Of wrok which
is demanded by the Japanese people.
There are probably about 1900 in all
now engaged in this industry, accord.
ing to a recent estimate. Women do
embroidery at home in some parts OF
Japan. This is done by the piece-wOrk
system, upon which payment is based.
The contractors supply their workers
with the materials needed. although
sometimes the wholesale dealer al
tends to this directly.

pionship for the third successive year.
Included in this record was the win
ming of first place in all of the five
events that comprise the test, a feat
never equaled in the history of the
games.
Long, Broad Jump.
Berry has broad-jumped feet 3-5
inches, thrown the javelin 157 feet 2
inches, run 200 meters in % 2-5 Sec
Onds, tossed the discus 108 feet 9a
inches and covered 1900 meters in the
sensational time of 4.29 As. He has
run as a member Of relay teams that
have defeated the pick of other col
leges.
College football enthusiasts clearly
remember the work of Berry as a men,
Der of the Pennsylvania football and
baseball teams. His spectacular play
ing on the backfield of the eleven has
gained many touchdown for Pennsyl-
vania. He is considered such q valu-
able player that the Offense as rule
is built around him.
Berry's general all-round good work
on the baseball field also has been of
sensational character. His extra
base hits have time and again turned
defeat into victory for the Red and
Blue nine not to mention his brilliant
fielding at second base position.
