Major General Leonard Wood sums
up we'll the work of the Red Cross
in the following statement:
1--WE should have trained units in
every section of the country; we
should have Red Cross Plattsburgs-
or better yet, have Red Cross mobil-
izations. 1t has been proved, over
and over again, in history that un-
trained soldiers are failure; un-
trained medical and relief units are
as great failure. We have learned
from Europe the need for medical
supplies and the exact kind of sup
plies, yet we are not prepared to sup
ply adequately the needs of our army
should they get into actual fighting,
We ought to require every medical
supply house to keep on hand all the
time a certain amount of the drugs
and materials needed and the govern
ment should pay them interest on the
large Investments.
"The Red Cross is the second line
of relief in war, even as the militia
| Is in the fighting force. The Red
Cross is not handicapped in its op-
erations by having to wait for con.
gress to convene to get things done,
but it is handicapped by the lack of
interest taken by the people OF the
United States in the building UP of
the organization for cooperation With

1T Is very important that every

though he may be physically unfit
for military service" said Governor
Frazier this morning.
Every loyal citizen can help to
make this registration as easy as pos
sible and as complete as possible, and
! am confident the people of North
Dakota will do their best to carry out
the wishes Of the administration in
this respect, no matter what may be
their personal views Of conscription.

Meanwhile the front in northern

British. Evidently, with reinforced re.

in the :Arras and Aisne fields are

of control of the state of Washington
spent Monday here as guest OF the

saw.

FOREST FIRES
F. ABOUT DULUTH

Duluth, May 15.-The sun is hid
here today by smoke from many brush
and forest fires surrounding the east
ern limits of Duluth. A farmer lost
his buildings, cattle and hay near
Woodland last evening. The Duluth
fire department made run to his
farm, but became lost on the way, but
arrived after the fire completed the
destruction.
Flying embers from fire nearly a
mile away caused a blaze on the
roof of the Villa Sancta Scholastica,
Catholic school for girls near Duluth
last night, and the fire department re-
sponded so quickly that the blaze was
extinguished after slight loss. The
forest fire was checked before other
buildings became ignited.

Chicago. May ia sentiment was
manifested on the Board of Trade to-
day that sthe action yesterday of the
Board of Directors forbidding further
trading in May oats and corn, and
suspending for two days all purchases
of wheat, except for liquidation of ex-
listing contracts was but f0rerurner
of more drastic steps to be take.l to
curb speculation in all grain.
Delegates from other exchanges are
expected to meet here late today
with the directors of the Chicago
board to discuss the situation in an
attempt to evolve a plan for concert
ed action by all grain markets Of the
country.
Lower Prices.
Sharply lower prices resulted in
the wheat market today as a conse-
Quence of the summary prohibition of
new buying and attempts to close up
outstanding bills. Values broke SC on
the sale Of three lots of 5000 bush
els, the smallest amount in which
they are possible. 1t was on these
three trades that the market reached
the lowest point of lie over night, a
decline of $2.4S for July delivery.
Prospects that the existing halt in
option trading might be continued in
definitely and the main depressing in
fluence. Opening prices, which rang
ed from &c to &C lower, with July at
S2.53 to $2.55, and September at 1928
to 1925, were followed by additional
setbacks of &c to sc and then a
moderate rally.
Selling Seats.
What was said to be an informal
meeting of representatives of the va
rious grain boards was held this aft
ernoon.
There was no business in the wheat
pit meanwhile, except that member
ships were being hawked about.
These sold at the height of the ac-
tivity of the market last winter as
high as $500. One man who had
three for sale today for friends, said
that he had offered them at $4,000
without takers.
