RED CROSS REPORT

The Red Cross report as submitted
by Chairman Alice l.. Poland, is an
interesting document. It shows how
eager the ladies are to provide COM
forts for the boys.
Since the last published report the
work has gone steadily on but owing
to lack of, new instructions we are
not accomplishing the work we want
to do. When the new county officials
are really and truly given the proper
|instructions-they in turn can turn such
instructions over to the different
branches, Of which we are one, and
work can proceed at full force.
The most of our time has been
spent on knitting sweaters, scarfs,
socks, wristlets, although some are
sewing and some rolling bandages,
and all are anxious to do their share.
We have bought and handed out to
the local chapter and the other chapt-
ers in the county, about two hundred
lbs. of vars for knitting The work is
coming in in fine shape. eW have
some very proficient knltters, and the
articles ready to send to headquarters
will pass muster-every thing is in
good condition.
We have the following articles on
hand:
Sheets, 83; pillow cases, II pairs;
towels, So; paJamas, 26 suits; bed
sheets, SO; bath robes, %; bed socks,

"RAUS NIT M"

Nobody wants to misjudge La Fol-
lette. He says he is "controlled and
directed by a solemn conviction of
right and duty" Even granting him
to be sincere in. opposing the war, his
place. is not in the senate. If he
hasn't the good sense to resign, as
did senator's of seeding states when
they found themselves in conflict with
the national government in 1861, the
senate should expel him. The So
called "war-party" which Senator La
Toilette continuously SANDERS is no
warparty at all, but the government
and people of the United States. The
demands coming from all parts of the
country for La Follette's expulsion
show that no n here is deceived by
him. It is in Europe and South
America that his reasonable talk
does harm. Mr.. Root brought back
from Russia the report that the
speeches of La Toilette, in which he
said this was a war of the capitalists,
were quoted as representing the real
attitude of the United States. His
st. Paul speech, in which he declared
the sinking of the Lusitania was a
Technically" and not sufficient
ground for war, was sent to Russia
to stir up socialistic elements in op-
position to a continuance of the war
The net results of the La Toilette
propaganda will be prolongation of
the war and an additional toll of
American lives. No other country
would have been so long patient with
n giving laid and comfort" to the
enemy. La Toilette must go. "Raus

"OUR BOYS" C~OMPLIMENTED

"Our boys" the soldier boys Of
the 164th U. S. Infantry, formerly the
First North Dakota and the "Smash-
ing Second" have won the hearts of
the people Of Charlotte, N. c., near
which Camp Greene is located.
Attorney Charles W. Tillett, a
prominent lawyer Of Charlotte, writes
in part as follows to a Fargo friend:
81 feel it not only a great pleas
ure, but an absolute duty to make
known to you in some way, and
through you to the people of your
section, the very high esteem in which
we have learned to hold the soldiers
who have come from your section to
Camp Greene, in the suburbs of our
city.
"The main purpose of my writing
this letter is to tell you what mag
nificent fellows you have sent US from
the northwest. To be frank with
you, I must say that we were some
what apprehensive in reference to
those coming from what is sometimes
termed, the wild and woody west.
We therefore looked somewhat
askance at these boys upon their ar
rival, but concluded we would give
them a try-out, and the people of our
city, somewhat noted for hospitality,
began inviting these boys into their
homes, particularly on Sundays
Everywhere there were expressions of
pleasant establishment and gratifica-
ton at the splendid character and
gentlemanly department of the young
men, until finally the whole city
capitulated and there is now nothing
but words of praise on every tongue
in regard to these soldiers.
"On last Saturday evening, although
the streets, restaurants and stores
were thronged, there was not' the
slightest act of disorder, nor ever
any loud talking or %boisterous con.
duct. In fact, it may seem a rather
exaggerated statement that during
the four weeks that we have hat

Slope county has fallen into the

NEGLECT THE RED CROSS

Heard several expressions to the
effect that some Of those who had
subscribed to the Red Cross fund
were reneging. Seems to us that
such a good cause as the Red Cross
is should not be lacking in funds,

scription to donate, it is their moral
duty so to do.

WILSON GRETS NATIONAL ARMY.
President Welcomes SOLDIERS of Free
dom" Into Nations Service With Mes
sage Of A~ffectionate Confidence.

The White House, Washington.
To the Soldiers of the National Army:
You are undertaking a great duty.
The heart of the whole country is with
you.
Everything that you do will be
watched with the deepest interest and
with the deepest solicitude, not only
by those who are near and dear to you
but by the whole nation besides. For
this great war draws us all together,
makes us all comrades and brothers,
as all true Americans felt themselves
to be when we first made good our ma
tional independence.
The eyes of the world will be upon
you because you are in some special
sense the soldiers of freedom. Let it
be your pride. therefore, to show all
men everywhere. not only what great
soldiers you are, but also what good
men you are, keeping yourselves fit
and straight in everything and pure
and clean through and through.
Let us set for ourselves a standard
so high that it will be a glory to live
up to it, and then let us live up to it
and add a new laurel to the crown Of
America. My a~ffectionate confidence
goes with you in every battle and ev.
cry test. God keep and guide you.

Rome, Sept. latter president
Wilson's answer to Pope Benedict's
peace proposal was presented by the
British minister at the vatican, Mon
signor Cerretti, newly appointed as
sistant secretary of state. immediate
ly took the document to the pope.
The pontiff does not read English.
but he had a rapid verbal translation
made and he was much touched by
its wording. The pope remarked as to
the lofty sentiments expressed and
also the kindly, humane spirit and
manner" used by the President in re-
jecting the ~vatican's proposals, but as
to the answer received, he was unable
to repress his disappointment that his
efforts to check the war as yet were
unsuccessful.
1t is not yet known whether the
certain points in the note, or wait
until all the powers have replied anu
then give the same answer to all.
However, it Is certain that the pope
is daily preparing an immense
amount of documentary testimony to
prove that his principal points are
those already admitted or agreed to
by all the belligerents.
The point emphasized in President
Wilson's note that no one can have
faith in the honor of the German rul-
ers, or accept their signatures to a
peace treaty, is a problem that has TO-
cused the attention of the pontiff.
1t is evident that he was not on
tent to cease his peace efforts but will
continue their discussion in further
notes, probably for the next four OF
five months.

Find 4 Use for Rats.

The city authorities of Stockholm
have begun a campaign against rats
by offering a reward of 2h cents for
every dead one. While it is hoped thus
to reduce the rat plague considerably,
the chief end is to get an important
addition TO the stocks of fats available
for the making of soaps and lubri-
cants. The rats are treated in a
''corpse utilization establishment"
where, after the fat has been boiled
out, what remains is converted into
q poultry food. South Sweden has
for some time been utilizing cadavers
of animals. Considerable fat is also
obtained by skimming large contain
ers placed in the sewers leading from
hotels, restaurants and other places
where there is an unavoidable waste of
fat,

$500 Set By U. S, for Wheat.

Denver.-Local wheat men stated
that the basic price Of wheat for Den
yer probably will be 1920 per bushel
or about 1857 per hundredweight,
the local price always depending
chiefly OF the fluctuations in Chicago,
rather than in any other wheat Q
ter. They ventured the opinion, how
ever, that Denver may, in this case,
be classed with Kansas City and Oma-
ha IN a basic price Of $2.15.
Washington.-A price Of 1920 a
bushel was fixed for the 1917 crop of
wheat by President Wilson Thursday
night on the recommendation of the
wheat price committee, headed by DR..
H. A. Garfield.
The basis will be No. 1 Northern
spring wheat, delivered at Chicago.
The committee finally agreed after
three days of voting. At one time it
looked as if it would be impossible to
come to a conclusion, but a compro-
mise was reached and the last vote
was unanimous.
