MURPHY FOLLOWS
WEIGH As CHIEF
Of LOCAL GUARD
Commander of Co. A Placed on
Supernumerary List at His
Own Request

Lieutenant James w. Murphy, for
mer secretary of the North Dakota
state penitentiary, and recently at
tached to the First regiment as Sec
Ond battalion adjutant, yesterday
was commissioned captain of Co. A,
Bismarck, to succeed Capt. A. B.
Welch, who had requested to be plac-
ed on the supernumerary list.
Both Captains Murphy and Welch
saw active service in the Philippines.
Each has been identified for many
years with the national guard. and
each has an enviable reputation for
military efficiency. Captain Welch
does not relinquish his rank, but at
present is on detached duty. 1t is
probable that he will be assigned to
a company in a second regiment, if
one is raised. II not, he may be CIV
en- another command in the First reg
iment.
Captain Murphy's commission was
made out 10y Governor Frazier prior
to the latter's departure for New
York, but was not issued until late
yesterday afternoon. At the captains
request it was dated back one day.
Murphy is just true enough
to the ould sod to believe that no
good could come from commission
dated Friday, the Thirteenth"

First of Coming Week
War Department Will Discharge
Men From Service at End
of the Emergency

The first concerted action in en-
rolling men for the United States
navy to fill up the required crews for
the vessels will be actively launched
in Bismarck the early part of next
week.
Lieutenant Kitterer, who was sta
toned at Fargo the first of this week
and at Dickinson the latter half, will
arrive in the city either Monday or
Tuesday, according to wire advices
received by the Tribune last night.
F. A. Linderud, chief recruiting Of
ficer for the army at the 500 hotel
received telegram from the recruit
ing station at Aberdeen this morning
which stated that it is the policy of
the war department to discharge
from service at the termination OF
the emergency, all men who have en-
listed in the regular army since the
declaration Of war or who now enlist.
This policy also applies to the nation
al guard.
Many Trades and Speeialties.
So many trades and specialties are
represented among the blue Jackets
of Uncle Sans navy that almost any
man can find congenial work. The
young man who would serve aboard
one Of the battleships may make his
choice among the following: Sea-
man, fireman, artifcer, electrician,
wireless operator, yeoman (clerk)
hospital steward or cook. The ma
chinery of the fighting ship is the
chief concern of the artificer branch
Of the service.
In general, the men of the navy are
divided into the following classes:
Landsmeu and apprentices, petty Of
ficers, third, second and first class.
chief petty officers, warrant officers,
commissioned warrant officers and
commissioned officers. p. ~, s
~ Future Of Young Man.
IAN enlisted man may rise to the
highest rank in the navy il he starts
his career early enough in life. Many
young men are appointed each year
from Annapolis, where they are train
ed to be commissioned officers and
paid while learning. Others of un-
usual ability rise through all grades
up to that of warrant officer. and are
then appointed, upon special exam
ination, to be ensigns, the lowest
commissioned rank &*
Naval Reserves. .-
The navy has several classes of re-
serves and an organization known as
the National Naval Volunteers, for
those who do not wish to serve in
the regular force. The members Of
these forces receive the same pay as
the regulars in time of war, and the
National Naval Volunteers are paid
one-fourth the poy of the navy in
time of peace.

Of FARGO MEET
Increased Production to Enlist
Cooperation Of Bankers,

MOBILIZATION OF LABOR
FOR FARMS CONSIDERED
May Hold in Reserve Men Who
Will Be Needed for Harvest
ing Next Falls Big Crops

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 4.--Offi-
GERS of the North Dakota Bankers
association and other influential state
bank officials will meet in Fargo to-
morrow morning to discuss means of
increasing and conserving foodstuffs
production.
Chairman John H. Rich of the
Ninth Reserve District bank called
the meeting hurriedly today.
Increased Production.
The specified purpose of the gath
ering is to discuss the problems Of
increased and intensified farm pro.
duction in the Northwest this year,
and ways and means Of effectively
cooperating with the farmers of the
Ninth reserve district.
A delegation of st. Paul and Min
neapOlis bankers will attend.
Seed Grain Survey.
Among the problems that will be
discussed is that of an immediate
survey of the seed grain situation, to
determine whether ample supplies
Of high grade seeds are available and
are properly distributed over the dis
trict. The problem of affording as
sistance to farmers who need seed
loans and who will be obliged to
make loans for the purpose of EN-.
ploying help will also be considered.
The conference will also take vi. the
question of conserving and increas.
ing breeding stock. E.
To Reach Farmer Personally.
AS a part of the work now under
way, $4,000 North Dakota farmers
will be reached personally within the
next 80 days by representatives Of
the extension division of the North
Dakota Agricultural college and will
be urged to Immediately provide for
tho planting Of increased acreages
and for the increase of their live
stock.
director Thomas Cooper, in charge
of this work, was in conference with
Chairman Rich in Minneapolis and is
cooperating in the plans for tomor-
rows conference. He said the plans
so far agreed upon will have the ef-
feet of personally reaching one farm
er out of every three in North Da
kota with the message that the gov
ernment expects increased production
in the Northwest and will lean heav-
lily upon the 1917 crop in this district
To Provide Cooperation.
The conference is expected to lay
out definite program providing for
complete and efficient cooperation
between bankers, business men and
northwestern farmers, to begin at
once, and continue without break
until the crop is harvested and
threshed. This will involve the i'm
mediate creation of machinery for
the handling of the very important
problems of the farm labor supply
and possibly for the mobilization and
holding in readiness of men who can
provide farm help that will be in de.
.mand for general help as soon as
haying and the gathering of forage
crops begins.

RYE TO BE SUBSTITUTED

Minneapolis. April 14.-Martin Wild
sten, of Warroad, an authority on Red
River Valley crops, said in Minneapolis
today that there will be much diff
Guilty in increasing the wheat produc-
tion III the Northwest because Of poor
seed.
II do not for a moment mean to say
that we will not he able through the
Minnesota State Commission to do
much" he said. But | think it will
have to be largely i'll other crops than
wheat
''Thc seed problem in the Red River
Valley is Il bad one. 1t is hard to see
where the farmers if they undertook
to increase their acreages would get
good seed. There is plenty of it in
Canada. but a farmer cannot buy what
he wants alone. There is lack Of co
operation. Some big centralized Or
ganizatiOn might help.
But. if we fail to make the wheat
acreage increase that we have been
talking about, we can put more land
into corn and oats. and barley, rye and
potatoes. This will be done, anu

London. April 1.-THE village Of

British after a sharp fight, according
to an official statement issued by tho
war Office.
In the direction of Vimy, the Bril-
tish seized the Vimy station, Lachau.

Givenchy-e Ell -Gohelle and Angres.
Progress was also made north Of the

Among the guns captured by the
British were four howitzers of 8 In.
The war Office announces that tho
Turks are in retreat after . battle
in Mesopotamia with the British, In
which they suffered heavy losses.
Open Warfare.
1t is not without difficulty that one
comes to a realization that semi
open warfare has replaced the old
deep trench fighting on the greater
part of the British front. It IL hard,
even, for the fighting men actually
to grasp the situation, q situation for
which they have waited so long. Tho
Germans possibly feel the change
more than any one else, tor above all
things, they love their underground
comforts. They we're the first to
transfer fighting to bitches and arc
reluctant to give up that style Of
warfare The deep dugouts and tun-
nels along the old fronts were the
only protection the Germans had
against the ever increasing British
gunfire, and every time they get IN
opportunity to pause now, they Inn
mediately begin to dig in. They take
to cover as if by second nature.
Softened the Men.
The British have always contended
that the German dugouts s0fto0o4
the men, who congregated In them
always, and could only be kept with
difficulty in the open trenches. 90
it was easier to break the British oe
the trench habit than has boon tAo
