From The Philadelphia Record:

fire the spirit of the God of War.
"'Gaspardine" will be the most fash
ionable fur for next winters wear,
the customers and furriers announce.
Already they are sewing fur trimmed
suits, coats, collars, stoles and muffs
made of "gaspardine," which, to be
exact, is only the fur coat of the rats
which infest the trenches at the bat
tie front.
Patriotic cooperation between the
furriers and the soldiers will result in
a strong demand for these rat
skins" and may increase the bounty
of one sou per head offered by the
army for every rat killed in the
trenches. Some soldiers spend their
spare time killing rats and many have
terriers at the front. Some poilus
earn tidy sums of extra money, with
the aid of dogs, and 1t is to aid them
that the fashion makers are popular

SOUTHERN TRAINING CAMPS.

It does seem as if the government
had erred in concentrating its trains
ing of the new war army in the
south
The Forum does not believe that
politics has anything to do with the
1t gives no credence to the theory
that it was done to reward the solid
democratic south. 1t believes that
the men who selected the camp sites
are big enough to forget politics at
this time, but it does feel that it was
an error of judgment.
The south was probably chosen
with the idea that less substantial
buildings would be needed. and that
the cantonment cities could be
hurriedly constructed, and be mere
frame shelters from wind and rain.
whereas in the north warm and
substantial buildings with costly
heating plants would be necessary.
But the important fact was over
looked that 1t will now be necessary
for the men TO become twice accli-
mated. The northern men will have
to become accustomed to the hot
weather of the flag end of summer
in the south, and by the time they
arrive in France they will have to
accustom themselves to the cold Of
outdoor life in the trenches. If they
had remained in the north and had
trained outdoors in all kinds of
weather, they would have been hard
ened to trench life, and the change
would have been scarcely noticeable
as far as the weather would be con-
cerned.
But it is too late to consider a
change now, and it will be offset in
part if an army trained in the south
during the mild winter leaves for
France next spring.

Poles Are Held to
BE Alien Enemies

A Misunderstanding regarding the
citizenship status of unnaturaliZed
Poles, which had arisen, was
Strengthened out today by Provost
Marshal Gen, q. II. Crowder. He
gave an order that all such Poles
could appear before their local
boards and he removed from the
allan enemy classification by max
ing affidavit that they are not such.
The original law II has become
known, required unnaturlaized Poles
to register as alien enemies because
their country 10 dominated by Ger
many.
No member of a Fargo draft board
had heard OF this ruling. Fargo
Poles who were unnaturalized
registered as aliens, but not as alien
enemies.
While all citizens will be required
TO take their physical examinations
before claiming exemption or dis
charge, drafted men who can prove
they are aliens and as such ineligible

Is convinced that the business men
who are complaining of conditions
there have a we'll founded complaint.
Nor does IL seem a very difficult
matter to remedy. II the city COM

representative business men from

gether at one Of the regular commits

some satisfactory solution could be
reached without any bad feeling be-

expense. Some schedule could be ar
ranged for completing the improve
ments under way, that would best
serve the interests of the business

be provided to make the streets pass

ALL NOT LOST YET,

Almost terrifying in its intensity
blast of hot air that seemed to come
from an inferno. swept down upon
Fargo Saturday, and sent the mer-
curry soaring to 100 degrees and a
fraction more, according to the Of
fetal records.
II was the hottest day in the his
tory of the Moorhead weather bur
eau, the observer informs us.
The hot wind was suffocating, stiff
ing, and almost beyond the limit of
human endurance. In the sun Their
mometers recorded temperatures as
high as 125 or 100.
& The first thought of every citizen,
OF course, was the crops. There is no
denying the fact that the heat blast
did heavy damage. Vegetation could
not stand such heat. 1t was dis
heartening in the extreme to see this
hnal onslaught of the elements on a
crop which promised so we'll at the
beginning, and which has come dwin-
ding through so many setbacks.
But more encouraging reports
came yesterday and today. Several
citizens who have driven by automo-
bile through the valley region, report
that most Of the fields came through
the heat wave surprisingly well, and
that they were amazed to see such a
good showing.
There is nothing to do but hope for
best, and do what is possible to con-
vince the government that the farm
er is entitled to the best possible price
he can get for what crop he can har-
vest, if he is to be expected to have
any funds to begin farming again next
