The plan contemplated in the resO-

the knowledge that in many instances
they will have to reconstruct their

This meeting iS regarded as the

railroads will now be able to deliver
It to the consumers.

WHY O PAY UP?

A number Of North Dakota militiamen would like
to know why the state Of North Dakota does not pay in
billsL
The state Legislature appropriated a sum Of money
to be paid to members Of the North Dakota National
Guard who answered the presidents call for troops for
service at the Mexican border. Tho bill was signed by
the governor, and Is now q law. No action at law has
been brought to prevent the carrying out Of its pro-
visions. In accordance with tho regulations, lists have
been made out showing the amount due to each soldier,
and the necessary blanks have been filled out and sent
in to Bismarck. The banks of Grand Forks, and. AZ we
understand 1t, Of other cities In the state, have agreed
to cash these vouchers whom they are presented. ana 20
accept them without discount.
The matter has been in the hands Of the authorities
at Bismarck for some weeks. Apparently nobody in
essary in this case. for the mon in the Grand Forks COM
any intination as to when they were likely to receive
them, If ever.
Tho money which is due these soldiers is theirs rs
= matter Of right and Of law. Tho appropriation was
made for the purpose Of meeting an emergency. Many
of tho men were obliged to buy new outfits Of clothing
on their return. Not all of them were able to find posi-
tons Immediately. The money was appropriated for the
purpose of tiding over the needs Of the first few weeks
after the troops returned. Paid promptly the money
would have been very acceptable. The South Dakota
troops. under a similar appropriation, have been paid
their money long sinca
Somewhere in Bismarck there appears to be an
official. or a clerk. who assumes that the purpose Of this
appropriation is to create a fund for soldiers grand chill
dren. This Is a mistake. The money was intended for
tho men Themselves. and they ought to have it-now.
Whoever Is responsible for the delay needs to be vigor-
ously prodded with an exceedingly sharp stick.

THE JUVENILE BAND

a<oused In Grand Forks in tho teaching Of instrumental
music to children.
The concert as q whole was . successful ono in ev-

several numbers. rendered the selections in q most pleas
Ing manner. The drum CORPS from the Belmont school
contributed a number which was very attractive. And
the boys band merited the hearty applause which it re-
ceived.
But tho concert was more than Just q means for
Willing away an hour or two. It was q demonstration

CREDITS o FARM WORK

Whom tho United Stato6 became q party to the WI
the University Of North Dakota took prompt action to
aid in supporting the government in preparing for the
work Of tho war. ArranEements were made for student
drills in order that the young men in attendance might
at themselves for active service in case they should be
called on to perform IL Tho use Of the campus was ten
dered tho government for such uses as might be consid-
cred desirable. Arrangements were made for the grant
ing Of credits in all possible cases to young men who VOL
unteered and thus interrupted their academic work.
This matter Of credits. it IL interesting to note. is not con-
dned to service in tho army or navy. It extends also to
service on the farm.
Recognising the pressing need for farm labor it was
decided to grant credits under appropriate regulations to
students who volunteered for farm work and thus cut
short their years work at tho institution. The credits
for which provision is made will be granted to students
who, at tho close Of the school year, present satisfac-
tory evidence that they have actually been engaged in
farm work. Tho university management thus recognizes,
in a very useful and practical way, tho very important
place that farm work occupies in the equipment Of the
nation for tho proper performance Of its duty.

Your Fighting Chance

Washington, August 8-Tbat the

the belief of Marine Corps Officials
here who have complied statistics
covering the Allied losses in the war.
A careful estimate shows that only
one man in fifteen 10 killed, and one
out of fivS hundred loses limb. Re-
cent reports from French and British
hospitals show that about 85 per cent
recover from wounds, while about90
per cent are able to return to the FIR
ing line.
While the Marine Corps officials
hold unbiased views in regard to the
expected casualties among their own
troops 10 France, It is pointed out
that the s.Soldiers Of the Sea- recent
ly engaged in warfare in Haiti, suf-
fered less than one per cent losses.
These were sustained while covering
. wide terrain, fighting from house
to house, and capturing and holding
ansall redoubts, taken one by one
from the enemy. This method of
warfare Is said to be rapidly super
seding the trench system on the

Famous Cartoonist Tells Of
"Kultur"

Louis Raemaeker, the famous
Dutch cartoonist, upon whose head
the kaiser set price Of l2,OO0 marks
for showing up the Hun In all his
frightfulness, is now In America.
His cartoons have appeared in many
OF the leading papers since the Begin
ming Of the war, and 1t 10 certain that
no foreign artist has achieved his
popularity In time past.
Raemaeker evaded German spies
VINO wers bent on Keeping him m
Europe until they finally ''got" him,
by apparently sailing on one ship,
and, few moments before sailing,
leaving that vessel and boarding an
other.
In speaking to the United Press
about the Germans and German "kul-
tur," he said:
'If the kaiser tried to stop the war
today. 1 believe the people would de-
pose him. They abused him before
the war for not starting one when he
alone knew Germany was not qnite
prepared. Blood and iron are drilled
into the German people from child
hood. And now, by system OF at
rocities, they are trying to bring
about the moral and physical col
lapse of their opponents to make war
so cruel that it will be shortened"
Raemaeker became furious as he
dicussed Germany. His blue eyes
seemed to flash fire. He paced the
floor, emphasizing his argument by
pounding his fists on tables and
chairs. ''Germans do not talk about
the atrocities committed by their
men," he said. "They are too terri
ible. Yet they are right now planning
organized sympathy for themselves
after the war.
my idea is to conduct trail after
the war; just trial where every
mans guilt will be tried, just like
any criminal. Let no spirit Of revenge
prevail. but mete out to every man
the punishment he deserves for the
part he played in the outrages.
