THEY'RE OFF
TO FLOAT The
LIBERTY LOAN
Bankers Leave Fargo Today
Determined County Shall
Take $250,000

Buglers from automobiles announce
the arrival OF the liberty loan commit
tees in the different towns and viii
larges in Cass county today. When
the committees return this evening ii
is expected that not a town will have
been missed.
Canvassing of thee ounty by auto
mobile, each machine to carry bugler
was the plan devised by the bankers OF
Fargo and the members of the liberty
loan committee to float bonds in the
sum OF quarter of a million dollars
in Cass county.
While bankers were holding meet
ings with the officials of the banks and
arranging for the loan, speeches were
given to the townspeople on the out
side by Fargo orators who urged them
to respond literally.
Cass county Is going to subscribe
$500 In liberty bonds, 1t Is believed
by Fargo bankers. That Is $4,000
more than was expected. The idea
adopted by the county canvassing
committee is to mortgage the income
and not the present cash resources OF
the men so as not to demoralize bus
mess conditions.
The teams to leave Fargo consisted
of p. w. Clemens, ]. L. Kline, Judge
Young and a bugler; B. V. Moore
Harold Wilson, Smith Stimmel and a
bugler. and Harry Wooledge. Hon. B.
y. Spalding, Frank Scott and bug

New York, May Especially
EManufacture in America of dyestuffs
for which we were entirely dependent
on Germany three years ago has prog
ressed SO remarkably that government
Ichemists are now ready to assert that
safely assume this country will pro-
duce the bulk of dyes necessary for
their plants.
DR.. Thomas II. Norton, the dyestuft
expert, who is directing hundreds OF
experiments from his Offices at the
custom house, has forwarded to Wash
ington report on the experiments
of the last two years. He says there is
Estrong ground for the most optimistic
confidence as to the future of the
American dyestuff industry.
In the history of the worlds in
dustrial progress there are few in
stances which can compare with the
remarkable evolution of the Ameri-
can manufacture of artificial dye
stuffs,n he said. Two years and a
half ago, directly or indirectly, we
were dependent upon Germany for al
most every pound OF synthetic color.
which form a small but practically
indispensable part of the budgets of
our textile, paper, leather, ink and al
lied industries in which millions OF
operatives are employed
Many New Dye Factories.
When the outbreak of the war
caused dyestuff famine in America
DR.. Norton and assistants set about
creating In this country a firmer dye
stuff industry than existed at that
time There were only six manufac-
turers of dyestuffs in the United
States then and they employed to-
tai of 39S aggregates. Today there are
$50 manufacturers, and in more than
one establishment the payroll COM
prises 1000 or more names.
The United States is fast approach
ing the point where the great bulk Of
the staple artificial dyes normally
needed in its industries will be reg
ularly produced in American factories,
from American coal tar and by Amer
lean chemists and operatives. More
than this, it is not unlikely that after
the war the United States will supply
other countries with the dyestuffs.
Germany, which held practically a
world monopoly at the outbreak of the
war, Will fiRd herself confined largely
in expectation OF dyes to the Scandin-
avian countries, South America and
Austria Great Britain, France, Japan
and Holland and, to lesser extent,
Russia and Italy, are making expert
lnents with view to independence OF
Germany.
Gerrnany's Monopoly Lost Forever.
"Cef4nany,' said DIR. Norton, has
lost her dyestuff grip foRver. II may
not belong before America may repeat
In foreign lands the successes won by
American textiles, iron and steel, type
writers, sewing machines, harvesters.

COP FIRES four
SHOTS AT 2 men
Officer Anderson Receivers
Two Sacks of Stolen
Chickens

Four shots were fired in rapid sue
cession by Officer Charles Anderson at
chicken thieves who crossed his path
at 1 o'clock this morning while doing
patrol duty in the vicinity of the I'LL
tration plant. None of the shots took
effect.
Two strangers, each carrying a sack,
passed the officer who detected that
something was wrong gecause Of their
peculiar actions. He gave chase and in
the pursuit which followed, the men
threw away the game. The sacks were
taken to the city pound. Three of the
ten chickens were dead from suffoca-
ton. ~
Chief Dahlgret stated this afternoon
that no reports had reached the police
department OF any chicken coop being
raideds so he believes the men made
their haul from one Of the rural yards
in this vicinity.

u S. SEA FIGHTERS ARE TRAINED
AND EQUIPPED FOR HAND FIGHTING

While the marine corps is the only
branch Of the service that is rated as
land and sea" organization, there
is not one of the three branches which
is essentially a specialized body for
one particular brand or type OF war
fare. Our naval lighters are equally
proficient on land and sea and they
are as thoroughly trained and equip
ped for land operations as they are
for naval warfare.
