YOUNG N|NOT SOLDIER
BACK FROM France
George Cross, Who Was With Sc
bert's Army Has Been Given Hon
Orable Discharge Because of
His Youth.

George Cross, the l7-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Cross of this
city, returned several days ago from
France, where he spent several
months in General Sebert's division
Of the U. S. army. He was member
of Co. Z of the 18th Regiment While
George was not entirely averse to re-
turning to his home, he was perfectly
willing To remain, but his father, who
is d well known Great Northern en-
glneer, was anxious for his sons re-
turn, owing to his extreme youth, and
took the matter up with the war de-
partment, securing an honorable dis
charge for his son. George says that
should war continue and he eventually
become of draft age, he should GER
tainly enlist again.
He did not see much Of actual war
fare while in France. The main Am
erican camp is Ia miles back of the
line but George got within two miles
Of the front line and while there saw
battle between German and Allied
air ships. He also saw German
scouting plane brot down near the
American camp. He says the Ameri-
can soldiers are well fed but declares
that the French masses are rather
short on food.
George enlisted in the regular army
in Minot on March 20, 1917, was train
ed in New Mexico and he landed in
France on the 9th day Of last June.
While his army career was short, it
was full of thrills. The transport on
which he crossed the Atlantic was
attacked by submarine and the gun
ners on the transport fired 240 shots.
George brot back some hand grenades
and bullets of various kinds, used by
the Allies, also many postal cards
showing scenes Of army life. He was
given discharge papers showing that
his conduct had been first class.
George has accepted position with
the Minot Drug Co. and is now in
charge Of the soda fountain. He was
invited to address the Minot high
school students this afternoon on his
experiences in France.

MAIL SACK RIFLED IN MINOT
Pouch Containing Mall for Towns Along
Line as Far West as Towner Taken
to Gravel Pit and Cut Open.

An employee from the city engineers Of
flee discovered a rifled government mall
pouch Wednesday morning, in a gravel
pit near the Burlington road in the out
skirts Of the city. The robber had first
cut off the top of the sack, which was
locked, end not being able to get to the
contents, slashed a big hole in the side
with a knife. Numerous letters and pa
pers were scattered over the ground. The
papers were dated Oct. 8, 1917, SO the
deed must have been done shortly after
that date. Despite the fact that the let
tiers lay out in the snow for weeks, they
were in fair condition and practically all
of them still sealed. A couple of letters
had been torn open and several pack
ages had been opened. Some fountain
pens had been taken from one of them.
1t is not known just what was taken but
the postoffice department probably has
ascertained by this time list of what
has been stolen. @
Postmaster Anderson was notified of
the find and he drove at once to the
spot, securing the pouch and contents.
These have been sent to the Inspector in
Charge at st. Paul.
The pouch had been mailed over the
Breckenrdge-Lar division and
should have been thrown off No. at
Towner. It contained mail for towns
along the line as far west as Towner No.

handled by Engagement. 1t is presumed
that he overlooked throwing off the pouch

the various counties. The enrolment is

confront every teacher and particularly
those Of the rural schools. Part of the
program was arranged by the Department
OF Education, while parts We're left tC
the local committees.
The problem of rural school betterment
was one of the vital points discussed
Pleas were made for teachers with better
training, for better attendance and equip
ment and for standardization and con
solidation of our schools. Steps were
taken to promote the health of the child
by improving the sanitary conditions and
employing a licensed nurse or physician
TO visit the schools and investigate condi-
tions. Several of our counties have ad-
opted the plan and find it successful,
