Captain Rice paid a high tribute to

which they were handled by their Of

sighted tho submarine. The officer
commanding the gunners was with
me on the bridge, where in fact We
had been the most of the time
throughout the voyage.
There was haze over the sea at
the time. We had Just taken

THE submarine was close to us,
too close in fact for her purposes, and
she was submerGing again in order TO
maneuver in better position for
torpedoing us when we sighted her.

\ fer MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wtREI
London, April 25 4:45 p. m)--
Captain Rice of the American steam
ship Mongolia, which has arrived at q
British port, told the Associated Press
today that the Mongolia had fired the
first gun of the war for the United
states and sunk German submarine
The naval gunners on board made
a clean hit at 1000 yards. The peri
scope was seen to be shattered.
The submarine, Captain Rice said,
was about to attack the great liner IN
British waters on April 10. He de-
clared there was absolutely no doubt
that the U-boat was hit and that
there was every reason to believe 1t
was destroyed.
Shell Found Its Mark.
Even more pertinent Il fact, as re-
CARDS the ultimate fate of the sub
marine, was that the shell disappear
ed Immediately after the hit was
made. The captain stated that a
shell always ricOchets in the water
and can be seen again unless 1t finds
the mark. Oil also was seen on the
water after the submarine disap-
peared.
The Mongolia was going at full
speed and was a long distance away
when the spray and foam subsided,
but from the bridge the officers OBJ
served the spot through their glasses,
and they are confident the submarine
was sunk.
The naval gunners on board the
Mongolia are under command OF Lieut..
(name deleted), u. S. N.
The periscope was sighted dead
ahead on the last afternoon of the Voy-
age. The captain gave the order for
full speed ahead with the intention Of
ramming the submarine.
The periscope disappeared and a
few minutes later reappeared on the
ships broadside. The gunners fired,
hitting the periscope squarely and
throwing up a mountain of water.

MAKING PROGRESS
in FLOOD CONTROL
Best Method of Producing Millions
of Bushels of Grains. D. Dis
trict Organized

Wheaton Gazette-Reporter.- A.
Hard, secretary of the North Oak
ota Drainage Commission, is vigor-
ously pushing the proposed Red Riv-
er Valley flood control plans and has
asked the Gazette-Reporter to give
space to the following statement
covering the present situation and
the progress that is being made. He
says:
"While the past seasons drOuth
has relieved the water logged soil in
Cass, Richland and Trail counties,
dulling the interest in flood con-
troll" to some extent, Sergeant Coun-
ty has not yet dried out. Further
the vast acreage of cattail marshes
which have always been fine farms
in Richland, Roberts, IS. d. Will
kin, Traverse and other counties is
never failing spur to continued
vigorous action on the part of the
citizens in those stricken districts.
Those men are still impatient with
the cOmplacent and false assertion
by men in more favored spOts,-that
"oh, there isn't much need now of
flood control and drainage" and,
II guess everybody has forgotten
about floods"
That these statements are far from
the truth is vigorously attested by
the definite progress now being made
in the upper counties in the Red Val
ley, about Lake Traverse in all three
states. For instance the Roberts
district has just had it's final or
ganization established in spite of all
opposition of any unprOgreSsiVe
parties. Great credit is due the bust
ness men of White Rock, S. D., for
their untiring efforts to get thru
their District Court final incorpora
ton orders so that contracts for dam
and canal construction may soon
follow. If work is prosecuted early
in the Spring, as is now believed
possible, relief to several million
acres will soon be a reality in spite
of any possible heavy rains, or rapid
drainage of the high lands by new
bitches.
N. D. Commissioner Hard has
acted in capacity Of consulting en-
gineer for the other two states.
The usual obstacles met in for
warding so gigantic a movement as
the reclamation of 8 to 10 million
acres of land lying in three states,
are gradually being overcome, and
the work is taking shape in the up
permost counties of the Red Valley.
1t behooves every citizen of the Val
Fley to boost this enterprise which
can't fail to be one of the biggest
means yet found to increase grain

WAS WITH US. ARMY IN FRANCE

Concluded from page u
said Sergeant Johnson. 1--WE left
Hoboken June 10, heavily guarded
by battle cruisers and torpedo boat
destroyers. We we're getting along
famously until one night about four
days sailing from the French harbOr
that was our destination. On this
night the ocean was very quiet and
the slightest ripple made the watery
surface CLEAN like a flash Of light
ming. This CLEAN was caused by the
phosphorus on the surface of the
sea.
1.-The lookout on one of the leading
cruisers sighted a German submarine
and sounded the alarm. All of the
ships turned sharply in another
direction. 1t was we'll that the YES
sci on which was quartered turned
for the torpedo fired by the Kaiser's
submarine would have struck us
amidships and have sunk us in five
minutes. We saw the fiery streak
left in the wake of the torpedo as it
passed in front of our bow only 80
feet distant. This happened about
II p. m. The American destroyers
dashed at the German undersea boat
but it made good it's escape. There
was no further interruption of our
voyage. We arrived in the French
port June %.
The American soldiers made their
first public appearance in Paris,

July 8. They arrived early in the
morning from the distant seaport
where they had been quartered for
about week and their appearance
was the occasion for welcome such
as only the war weary French could
give. The picture taken by the New
York Herald of the American troops
swinging down one of the principal
boulevards of Paris, clearly shows
Sergeant Johnson in the foreground.
This issue of the Herald is the Paris
edition and has a large circulation
there. We agree with Mr.. Johnson
that the paper is invaluable. He
has another Paris newspaper show
ing himself holding lion cub. This
picture was shown in LIE Journal.
The cub was presented to Sergeant
Johnson's company by a wealthy
American residing in Paris.
Fourth of July was an event that
will linger forever in Mr.. JOhnsOn's
memory. The American and the
French soldiers, or "poilus" as the
latter are called, marched together
and the Americans were banqueted
and feted and taken sight seeing
through all parts of the city. Their
appearance was always the occasion
of a shower of flowers and bouquets.
After a most pleasant three days
stay in Paris the U. S. troops we're
taken to their training camp within
the hearing of the big guns that we're
roaring night and day along the
French front. Here they have been
trained in the French and British
style of trench fighting, the use of
hand grenades, digging trenches,
bayonet fighting and the use of gas
masks and other modern methods of
warfare. The American army is be-
ing organized said Sergeant John
son according to the French organic
alton. There is to be $50 in each
company and $500 in regiment.
Thee appearance of the American
soldiers has given the French and
English renewed courage and their
soldiers are fighting with an enthu-
siasm that cannot be denied, said
er hope to assume the offensive is his
opinion.
Sergeant Johnson saw a large
number of German prisoners in
France and they seemed to be a very
cheerful lot and far more content
to stay in France than to fight in
the trenches for the Kaiser. They
are receiving two cents per day, the
same scale Of pay that they were re-
ceiving when under Kaiser Bills
yoke.
The rural districts of France are
beautiful said Mr.. Johnson. Their
language is very musical too, he said,
but the only thing he could say in
the French language was "oui, oui. !"
The French and American soldiers
are great pals he said.

production in the U. S, Department
of Agriculture, speedy relief will en-
able thousands of Valley farmers to
produce 100 to 120 million bushels
of grain for the Allies, above what
the past three years of water logged
soil permitted.
The plan as being worked out in
cludes extensive reservoirs with val
liable waterpowers along the Shey-
enne and other North Dakota
streams that find an outlet in the
Red River. AS a whole it is a big
proposition that means a great deal
to the three states interested"

Commission Adopts Hunters Plan
The government wants thousands
of stenographers and typewriters for
war needs, and the Civil Service
Commission has sent out an appeal
to all the local boards to help find
