Testaments Given Company {

The County Ministerial AsSocia
ton, at Camp Hirst, yesterday about
$50 p. M. presented TO each men,
Der of Company c beautiful copy
of the New Testament Scriptures,
! Army and Navy edition.
! The service of presentation was
short. but very impressive. Owing to
the fact that many of the ministers
! of the city and county are at present
away on their vacations, and at camp
meetings, only a few of them were
present.
! The services consisted of a hymn,
Stand Up For Jesus" Then the
president, Rev. S. y. Pilchard, ad-
! dressed Capt Hirst and the soldiers
! in a few very appropriate remarks.
Rev. F. S. Kinks lead the prayer.
! Then, while the soldiers were stand
I ing in three long columns, Rev. CA.
Campbell, secretary of the Associa-
/ ton, with the assistance of Rev. q.
/ ID. BOWden, beginning with the Off
GERS. passed down the lines and pre-
scented to each member copy,which
/ was gratefully received. The doX-
ology was then sung by all and the
( benediction pronounced by Rev. G. A.
Campbell.
The little volume is beautifully
! bound in Khaki, made just to fit the
shirt pocket of their uniforms. light
in weight. but very durable.
On the inside front cover is pas
ted the autograph of President Will
son and his memorable words TO sol
diers concerning the Bible.
On another fly leaf is stamped the
compliments OF the Dorchester Coun-
" Ministerial Association.
Then another fly leaf contains &
blank for each soldiers name anC
home address, service, rank. com
pany and regiment. This page wa:
left TO be filled in by the soldiers
themselves, as the ministers did no
know their names, and it is hoped
that each one will see that this page
is properly filled out.
! These Testaments will be SQUIRE,
; of great comfort and JOY to our sol
der boys when they are a long wa,
from home. BY them they will eve
be reminded of the thoughtfuInes
, and the prayers of our ministers. A
they go from us we bid them Coz
speed. and wish for them only tn

A WAR ZONE
Of j. 5. COAST
Germany May Try to Bring Her
Submarines Here.
U. S. WARsHIPS INFORMED
Reported Intention OF Germany To
Declare Coasts OF the United
States, Canada and Cuba a War
Zone May Be Only a Ruse.

Washington. - Greatest importance
Is attached here to the brief wireless
press message picked up from Berlin
by the British Admiralty asserting that
Germany is expected shortly to declare
the coasts Of the United States, Can
ada and Cuba to be naval war zones
Past experience convinces officials
here that wireless press messages OF
this character previously picked up
have usually been followed by formal
announcement from the Berlin govern
ment of important hostile action. II
this is authentic, 1t means that Ger.
many will try to send submarines to
operate off the Atlantic Coast.
When the news reached Washing
ton 1t was suggested that possibly Ad-
miral Mayo. commanding the Atlantic
Battleship Fleet, who has Just returned
from the London naval conference,
may have brought with him some con-
fidential inkling of Germany's inten-
tions. Secretary Daniels, when COM
municated with, asserted that this
press dispatch was his first inkling Of
such an intention on the part of the
German government.
The wireless from Berlin mas be a
naval bluff intended to throw scare
into public opinion on this side of the
Atlantic, or may be war ruse thrown
out for the purpose of trying to inter-
fere with the steady movement of
American troop transports to France.
So far as constant watchfulness is
concerned, the threat will not greatly
alter the situation, for the warships
patroling the coast have been instruct
ed to act on the theory that German
raiders or submarines may show up
most Unexpectedly. There have been
repeated reports that submarines had
approached the coast. These have
never been substantiated.

FORMER ENSIGN HELD.
VIM. J. Dunbar, Detained As Possible
Spy, Dropped From Naval Reserve.


Washington.-Navy Department rec
ords show that William ]. Dunbar, ar
rested in New York as possible spy,
was enrolled as an ensign in the Naval
Reserve in the New York district until
about two weeks ago, when his name
was dropped because Department of
Justice officials found he had made
conflicting statements as TO his place
Of birth.
1t Is understood Dunbar said in his
application for enrolment in the
Naval Reserve that he was born in st.
Paul, when he was, in fact, a native
Of Hamburg. Germany.
Immediately after he had been Drop
ped from the reserve Dunbar sought
to enlist in the army and his arrest
followed.
When war was declared, command.
ants of the naval districts were author
lied to enroll men up to the rank of
ensign In that service for coast patrol
or other work. Dunbar secured his
rating before a new rule was issued
requiring examinations and commits
sioning by the department.

BY Explosion.

Washington.-An American destroy
er on patrol duty in the war zone was
torpedoed by an enemy submarine and
had one man killed and FIVE wounded
She managed to make port in spite OF
severe damage.
U-Boat Probably Escaped.
Vice-Admiral Sims cabled a report
OF the incident TO the Navy Depart.
ment He gave but few details, but It
Is assumed there was no fight and that
the U-boat made good her escape after
launching a torpedo without showing
herself.
Gunner's Mate Osmond Kelly Ingram
was the man killed. He was blown
overheard by the explosion and his
body was not recovered.
None Of the wounded were seriously
hurt.
In accordance with the policy of Sc.
crecy concerning American naval op-
Grafton. the department did not divulge
the name OF the destroyer or the exact
place Of the encounter.
First Warship Hit.
This is the first time an American
warship has been hit by the enemy
since the war began. Destroyers con-
voying troops and merchantmen have
engaged submarines and are believed
to have accounted for some of them,
and the ships patrolling the European
shipping lanes undoubtedly have had
many an encounter of which nothing
has been heard, but until yesterday
none had been touched by a hostile
shot.
Naval gun crews on armed American
merchantmen have not been SO fortu.
nate. Many OF them have had to
abandon their charges and take to the
boats, usually after an unwarned tor.
pedo attack, and one officer and 13
men have lost their lives, while four
men now are in German prison camps.
Navy Has Lost II Men.
In all the navy has lost one officer
and sixteen men-the only men OF
Americas fighting forces actually kill.
ed In action.
Lieut.. Clarence c. Thomas, com.
manding the gun crew of the tank
steamer Vacuum. and four of his men
were the first on the navy's casualty
list In addition to the men lost on
merchantmen and Gunner's Mate In
gram, two naval flyers have lost their
lives at the French front.
Destroyer Taken Unawares.
Naval officers do not doubt that the
torpedoed destroyer was taken un-
awares by the submarine and had no
chance to bring her guns into play.
They think 1t probable that the U-boat,
cruising in search Of merchant VIC
tins, stumbled upon the patrolling de-
stroyer and was fortunate enough to |
get into position to launch a torpedo |
and dive to safety without showing
more than her periscope.
1t is believed, too, that the DESTROYER
must have been steaming slowly over
her beat, for at top speed these craft
present an almost unhittable target to
the submarine.

In spite of her youth is not a stranger
to Fargo audiences, having appeared
on various occasions, but never to such
advantage as last. evening. Her varied
program gave her opportunity to show
versatility. She possesses a voice of
remarkable clearness, able to adapt it
ton, from the sweetest pianissimo to
the strongest forte. The resonance OF
the quality of her voice in those pas
sages demanding power of tone seemed
extraordinary for so young a singer.
Excellent temperament, intelligent tone
intonation and a we'll developed tech
nique were apparent, and reflected
much credit upon her instructor. Miss
Miss Henrikson. whose home is at
Fort Ransom, N. D., was a surprise to
everyone, this being practically her
herself young artist of unusual ma
turity as to musical ability. Her in
terpretations were most interesting
and full of life, free from the undue
haste that often 4characterizes the work
of young players. The quality of her
tone is broad and of a singing quality,
revealing pleasing carrying power even
in the softest passages Especially en-
joyable numbers given by Miss Hen
rikson were the Scherzo, by Schubert,
played with delicate touch; On Wings
of Song, by Mendelssohn-Liszt; and
Grieg's Wedding Day, played with ex-
ceIlent rhythm.
Additional charm was given the eve

Accomplishments played by Mrs. H. e.

charming touch aroused in many of the
audience the desire to hear her in solo
work.
