Bismarck Made Center :.
For Book Collections
To Supply the Troops

Bismarck has been made the center
in North Dakota for the collection of
books and magazines under the aus
pieces of the American Library associ-
alton with a view to supplying ade-
quate library facilities for all mobil.
ization camps and cantonments, and
Mrs. NJ. C. Budlong, secretary of the
public library commission, has been
named chairman for this work in
North Dakota.
Mrs. eudIon0 Makes Appeal.
Mrs. 'BudlOng issues an appeal to
the good citizens of North Dakota to
do their bit in supplying suitable
reading matter for the soldier boys
She says: If you cannot fight at the
front, you can send a book to the
men you are sending to the front to
do your fighting for you. The govern
ment has asked the American Library
association to assume responsibility
for supplying the camps and canton
ments with reading material. Every
group of soldiers, small as we'll az
large, is to have books. The public
library in every city in North Dakota
has been asked to procure donations
of books and magazines. These will
be sent to the various camps and
environments throughout the country,
and will be made available to the
soldiers, either directly or through
the chaplains of the army, the Y. M.
c. A., the knights of Columbus and
every other welfare agency at work
In camps. If there is a Y. M. e. A.
building, Knights of Columbus build
ing, a Masonic building or any other
building orient, whether 1t be named
by Catholics or Professionals, Jews or
Gentiles. these books will be sent to
them. The, library association itself
is Of course nonsectarian, and 1t. will
cooperate tremendously with all of
these other organizations. =. - ::
Write Names and Address.
III you will. write in each book your
name and address the soldier who
reads it will know that someone in
North Dakota is his friend and stands
ready to help him. The following is
suggested as to books and magazines:
Poorly printed, uninteresting, obvious
ly Out-of-date books are not worth
shipping to the men. Type should be
good and clear, and the books in fair
conditions. Books of good stories will
be wanted most, books of adventure,
sea stories, detective stories, histori-
cal novels and collections of short
stories, especially humorous ones.
Such authors as Kipling, Doyle, Nc
Cutcheon, o. Henry, Stockton, Bind
loss, Harrington, Hopkinson-Smith,
Oppenheim and London have been
found popular authors with men.
Good poetry and drama can be util-
lied. Foreign language study books,
especially French grammars and die
tionaries, are much needed-possibly
more than any other non-fiction
books. In one camp, one-iifth of the
men are studying French. They
should have easy readers and stories
besides their text books. Books Of
travel, biography and history. espe-
cially lives of heroes and travels In
countries now at war are good. Tech
nical books on aviation, wireless, tel
egraphy. submarines. automobiles.
signaling. first aid and hygiene, draw
ing and lettering are valuable. Fresh
attractive magazines are also desired.

Composed of Spanish War Vet erans Travelling in Fast Cars
 Armed With Guns

PORTLAND, Ore, July 21.-"Flying Squadrons" of Spanish War Veterans travelling in fast automobiles armed with rifles and riot machine guns are to be organized immediately all over the United States to act as home guard while the National Guard is in France, according to plans announced here re- gently by D. V. Chrisholm, Washing ton, D. C., commander in chief of the United States Spanish War Veterans.
 Almost every city in the nation will have one or more 'squadrons" MT. Chrisholm said. About 250,000 men will be used. In Portland 75 automo- piles and 300 veterans will make up the companies. Sanction of Governor Withycombe is to be asked by the vet erans here

U. s. HAVE A NEW TYPE
 OF SUPPLY SHIP

PARIS, July 21.-The special cor respondent of "Le Journal" who has paid visit to one of the first Ameri- can vessels of a new type which have just arrived at a French port, writes The "J" is not. properly speaking, ship of war. Our allies have baptised the type full ship" and it's construc- tion is due to the belief that it is in dispensible for squadrons far from their base to be accompanied by ves sels capable of furnishing them, when at sea before, during and after bat tie, with all the supplies they need lifesaving apparatus. food coal and parts for repairs. Their powerful wireless telegraph installation ena bles them to send out long-distance calls. The means of propulsion is a novelty and very considerable speed can be obtained. Their strong armament ren- ders them capable of defending them selves vigorously against a sudden at- tack On deck are numerous electric cranes pivoting on turnplates, permit ting of the speedest loading or un- loading of stores or war material.- Reuter-

AMERICAN NOTE IN FRENCH FASHIONS THIS
 YEAR PREDOMTNATES

LONDON, July 21.-A correspondent in Paris calls attention to the prepon- derating American note" in French fashions this year He writes:
 There is an American accent about all the new French clothes. It ia diff 6cult to define, but it is there, and it's price Is high. Some of the dressmak- CTS when they went on strike carried the Stars and Stripes, and when asked why as they were agitating mainly for the English Week-end,' they should carry the American flag, replied "Oh, it is the prettiest!" The same logic is applied to clothes. American women have always dressed well, and do that without mind of cost, so it is to the Paris dressmakers' advantage to make clothes for them.
 Hats show strong American note. The soft felt hat turned up on one side is worn with touch of cow boy swagger. The light muslin dress is also an American fashion Shoes and trimmage show similar inspirat- ion. In fact, to be dressed r Ameri- cane is very much the thing

MEDICAL UNIT
 FROM HARVARD
 DOING BIG WORK

LONDON, July 21-The Harvard Medical Unit, under Dr. Harvey Cush- ing, have given a good account of it. self in the recent fighting at Messines Ridge. Although located a consider able distance from the front, it found itself with every available bed occu- pied soon after the beginning of the push. For several days doctors and nurses worked at top pressure, trying to take care of all the cases as they arrived, but were finally forced to sum- mon assistance from a neighboring British unit.
 Dr. Cushing was at work in one of the advanced clearing stations during most of the heavy fighting, and per termed several surgical operations un. der heavy ire.

ALIEN ENEMY PRIVILEGES.

The Department of Justice desires to correct an impression created by certain wording appearing in an item relative to privileges of alien enemies. it would appear from the wording that the granting of Q permit to an all fen enemy to enter any particular area forbidden under under regulation No. 1 of the Presidents proclamation of April 6, 1917, carries with it the privi- lege of moving at will within the dist rict of the marshal granting the priv ilsge. Such is not the case. A permit granted to an alien enemy by mar shal to go within any forbidden area or areas carries with it the privilege of going within such forbidden area or areas only and of being engaged while therein in the activities permit ted by the permit such permit giving no right to go within any other for bidden area or areas in the district.

EVERY DEPARTMENT IS URGED TO BE
 ON THE ALERT
Harmless appearing Petition Led to Serious Discovery By the
 Government

WASHINTON, July 20.-That Germ an intrigues against property and sta tions of the United States Navy in this country must still be carefully guarded against is shown by a case which is now before the Department of Justice, says statement issued here to-day at Navy League headquarters.
 In a southern city with a population of about 30,000 people, says this state ment. there is a colony of German sub iects who recently petitioned the Gov ernment, through the Department of Justice to waive certain of the restrict ions placed upon them as to their res idence in fixed zones.
 These restrictions prevent alien en- emies from living or going within a certain distance of any Naval station or ship.
 The petition from the Germans of the southern city, mentioned above, was so phrased on it's face that it appeared to be an entirely harmless request Federal officials in the south were in clined to grant it. The petition was, however, referred to Washington. An investigation proved that there was on foot a scheme to place certain Germ an agents close to the Navy yard where considerable mischief might be done. It has now been decided that, not only will the areas from which these Ger mans are barred not be limited or re- duced, but that increased surveillance over every movement will be maintain ed.
 The belief is expressed here that had this request been granted, it was the intention of alien enemies in other cities to make a similar request, and that in the end serious harm might have resulted.

BREAD CARDS 2,00O YEARS OLD SAYS

ALKAMAAR, Netherlands, July 21- The bread-card, that familiar Euro pean product of the present great dash of nations, is nearly 2,00O years n'd. That is the discovery of a Dutch
 rofessor Doctor M. Moltzer who as- serts that it was in use in Rome under he Emperor Augustus, in whose reign Christ was born.
 Moreover, not only did Romans have their bread-cards and their government grain, term that has become so fam iliar in Holland, but government in. tervention in ancient Rome evoked as much discontent and friction between public and bread purveyors as has been the case in these modern days.

RED CROSS TO BUILD
 esssszssSS7sssssssR HOUSES FOR CON- vALSCENT SOLDIERS

As part of it's program for looking af- ter the men in the army training camps, the Red Cross war council has voted to build houses for convalescent soldiers in the camps at Fort Ogle- thorpe and Fort McPherson, near At lanta, Georgia. At Fort Oglethorpe the Red Cross is also taking over a stone quarry which is to be converted into bathing pool large enough to accom- modate 600.
 Will Provide Recreation
 The buildings for the convalscents will be used for men able to leave the hospitals but still unfit for duty Here amusement and recreation will be pro- vided, not only to break the monotony and irhsOmeness of the recuperatlon period but to aid in speedy recovery. Large lounging rooms, writing rooms, and wide porches will be features of these houses which will supplement the recreation rooms maintained by the Y. NJ. C. A.

RED CROSS POLICY IN USE OF WAR FUNDS
 IS SET FORTH

Henry P Davison, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, authorizes the following statement:
 Morning newspapers yesteday pub lished a report that the American Red Cross is to use in Italy S10,000,000 out of the $100,000,0O0 and more recently subscribed. The report is without foundation and it is important that the policy of the Red Cross in handling these funds be clearly understood.
 The Red Cross has appropriated $1,000000 to provide immediate neces- sities in France, to be spent under the direction of the American Red Cross Commission in France headed by Maj or Grayson MP. Murphy, member of the War Council The Red Cross has also appropriated $2OO,OOO to purchase medical supplies and instruments, whereby the Red Cross Commission to Russia may take care of more urgent upon arrival in that country.
 $2oo,oo0 for Roumania.
 The sum of s200,00O has been appro- priated to purchase materials to SUD- ply most urgent needs in Roumania. The sum of $100,000 has been appro- priated for use in Armenia, and $6,500 has been appropriated to purchase drugs to be sent to the Russian Red Cross.
 Aside from the foregoing no appro- priations have been made by the War Council for work in foreign countries The need in all our allied countries is beyond computation and use can be found for all funds which can possibly be obtained either now or in the flu. ture. That very fact imposes upon the Red Cross an extraordinary obli- gation, which it fully recognizes, to use the funds committed to it only af- ter assuring itself not only that any proposed expenditure will do good, but that it will accomplish the greatest good relative to other needs which are crying to be supplied.
 The Red Cross has now at work in France a commission of experts and it has more recently sent to Russia a similar commission. The expenses of these comm .,5ions are borne privately and are not charge on Red Cross funds. It is the purpose of the Red Cross to send similar commissions to Italy and Roumania, and also to ap- point commissioner to Great Brit ain. No appropriations for use in any country will be made until after inves- tigation, and all except emergency ap- propriations will be made by the War Council for specific purposes and in specified
 It is also the policy of the War Coun- cil to withhold and very large expen- ditures abroad until it is made certain that every necessary provision has been made to take care of our soldiers and sailors.
 Appropriations as authorized will as far as feasible be made public imedi. ately, and frequent statements will summarize the expenditures of past and set forth the condition of Red Cross finances.
