If, as is assumed, a small scout

the incident may never be fully

District Secures
More Than Quota
In Liberty Drive

The sequel to the big Liberty Bond
drive of last week is apparent this
week when the full returns have come
in. 1t was not a matter for surprise
that the district, the county and es-
pecially Dickinson ran away over
their quota. Many names were added
to the rolls after we had gone to
press last week. Chairman Richards
is much gratifed with results and ex-
presses thanks for the hearty CO.
operation given by all of those patri-
otto citizens who gave of their time
to the cause, especially the ladies
whose sale of the bonds added so ma
terially to the general result.
The city of Dickinson bought
$109, 800 worth of bonds, including the
very solid amount of $4,000 rolled up
by the railroad boys.
More than $4,000 was subscribed
by Belfeld, Richardton and Taylor
and other places in the county. Stark
county sold $15O,OOO worth of bonds
and the other three counties in the
district, Golden Valley, Dunn and
Billings, contributed $l41,500 to the
figures. 1t is safe to state that this
district bought bonds to the value OF
$4,000. The quota vas for $260,OOO.
A committee composed of F. d.
Cooper, J. ]. Kelly, A. T. Forsythe
and C. L. Dalton, made bond sales
among the railroad boys in this city
which netted $4,000. Of this amount,
the company handled $3.50. The
names Of the purchasers will be given
in our next issue.

NORTH DAKOTA BOYS
NOW STATIONED AT
LONG ISLAND CAMP

All of the North Dakota troops of
the former National Guard, including
both the First and Second Regiments,
are now stationed at Camp Mills,
Long Island, about 20 miles from New
York City. This information has
been known to the newspapers for
several days past, but publication was
Withheld of the news until officially
announced by Government authorities.
Every unit Of the 41st Division has
departed from Camp Greene, N. C.
That the guardsmen will remain in
training at Camp Mills for at least
two months, is indicated, although alb
solutely nothing is given out on this
score. Early service in France looms
up before the North Dakotans, how
ever.
Absolutely.no information has been
given out in the newspapers, at any
stage as to the departure Of the troops
from Camp Greene, their routes, OF
their destination. The whole troop
movement was executed without pub
licity Of any nature, although the
fact was known to almost every news
paper.
Dickinson's two companies, Com
pany K of the First Regiment, and
the Machine Gun Company of the Sec
ond, are both with the North Dakota
troops at Camp Mills.

LIBERTY BOND SLACKERS

A final checking up by the Liberty
Loan Committee discloses the fact
that there are a few men in this
town who did not buy bonds though
they are perfectly able to do so. We
cannot conceive why any man, even
the salaried fellow, cannot afford to
even held out with his money the
Government on this occasion There
are two reasons that may be advanced
for a failure to purchase Liberty
Bonds. One is that a mans income
may be so small as to preclude his
sparing one dollar a week and
the other is that he is not in
sympathy with the Government. 1t
is unreasonable to suppose that the
first cause should be advanced by am
one in this city because a Liberty
Bond is negotiable and could be
turned into collateral the day after
purchase; therefore the stern hand of
law should hover over those who are
derelict. If there are any undesirables
in Dickinson, a change Of residence
would be acceptable to those who are
bending every energy to sustain the
nation at this vital time. The buying
of a Liberty Bond is not contributing
n cent; on the other hand, aside
from the benefit of the action to the
Government, there's monetary return
to the purchaser in addition to the
original outlay. The Stacker is the
Kaiser's relief committee.

Secretary State and
License Clerk in Hook

Secretary of State Thomas Hall and
E. M. Walla, automobile register clerk
in the secretary of states office, were
arrested at Bismarck Tuesday night
on an embezzlement charge sworn to
by Attorney General William LANCER.
The warrants were served by Sheriff
J. P. French of Burleigh county.
The arrests, which came as a sur
prise to all of official Bismarck, were
the results of an examination of the
books of the automobile department of
the secretary of states office last
Thursday by the state bank examin-
erIs department, which it is said,
showed a shortage Of $3,400. Practi-
cally this entire sum, however, is said
to have since been returned.
Mr.. Walla, whose position as auto
mobile register clerk places him in
charge Of the. automobile license fund,
was out of the city when the exam1-
nation of his books was made. He
returned to Bismarck on Saturday
and his arrest last night followed.
Both Secretary of State Hall and Mr.
Walla were released on bonds and the
preliminary hearing was set for 10
o'clock Saturday morning in justice
court.
"There is no money shortage in my
Office" Secretary of State Hall said
"There may have been slight technical
violations of law but the state has
not lost a penny in money or property
When examination was made, Mr.,
Walla was absent on a hunting trip
and as I did not know the details of
the department a complete explana.
ton could not be made to the ex-
aminer."

YIN. CA, Raise Fund
for Boys in Trenches

E. P. Lee and E. A. Lillibridge, the
former district chairman and the lat
ter county chairman, who attended the
Y. M: G. A. Fargo conference, re-
turned last week fortified with a
working plan for raising the Y. NJ.
c.. A. War Work Fund of $4,000 for
this district which includes the ,coun-
ties of Stark, Billings, Dunn and
Golden Valley.
That there is a wide promiscuity to
the activities of the Y. M. C. A. in
the European trenches was made evil
dent by the address of Mr.. Virgo,
field secretary of the Y. M. c.. A. of
London, England, in his speech before
members Of the association. Mr..
conference at Fargo last week. Mr..
Virgo has just returned from the
battlefelds in France and shows how
powerfully the association is adding
to the moral strength of the soldiers.
Even down in the trenches, under the
ground, said Mr.. Virgo, the Y. M. G..
A. has established rooms wherein the
boys may find relief, comfort and
spiritual consolation. Services arc
held by all denominations in these
rooms, said he. The Armenian.
Frenchman, Englishman, Russian,
Sikh, American and every other
nationality represented on the sside of
the Allies hold their w services in
their own way within these Y. M. c,
A. quarters.
Mr.. Lee is a member of the state
council as well as being chairman OF
this district. He is now appointing
county chairmen in the district and
conferences on the plan of the state
conference will precede the actual
campaign for funds which will be
November 1919. The soldiers recre-
alton, his social life and the main
tanning of his moral stamina will suf-
fer unless we give loyal support to
the Y. M. C. A. campaign. Two hun
dred secretaries and 100000 Is
wanted by the Russians; over 1000
secretaries and $2,6 900 is needed by
the French soldiers; $11 1894, 900 is
asked for u own boys now fighting
in France. Nearly ten thousand men
from this state are fighting our fight
end the average cost per man will be
$40. Our boys in this country who are
awaiting a call to France must be
guarded and environed with good in
fuence and this will take $11,OOO,O 900
