BIRTH OF A NATION

D. W. Grihith's mighty spectacle
"The Birth of Nation" will be
soon at the Evangeline Theatre ex-
catly as it is being given in New
York and several other cities where
it has made record breaking runs.
This new force in the art of stage
entertainment is perhaps the most
widely discussed production ever
made in America. It is above all
else the greatest thing that has been
achieved by one producer. Imagine
condensing the living details of the
most strenuous periods Of America
history into an evenings entertain
ment 81 less than three hours. You
are not told about it nor is your
Imagination tested by rhetorical
descriptions of what took place. In
stead you see it by lighting flashes.
It is history revived and shown in
its making. Some of the greatest
names that are written large upon
the scroll Of our country's fame ap-
pear upon the program. The play
ers who enact the roles have studied
the minute descriptions Of these
men both from photographs and in
innate life stndies and with this
frame work they make these won
derful characters live again.
They pass before your vision in .
panorama of achievement. The &C
complishment is startling. The en-
tire action ranges over three cen
turtles. It begins with the importir,
of the first African slave and it end
with the settlement of that question
IN the freedom of the enslaved. Blu
before this end is reached tn
mightiest nation in the world passe
through the throes of internecln
strife and the high lights of thos
struggles are wildly brought on
Great battles are fought befor
your eye. Cities are destroyed b
fire. Thousands of horsemen das
in wild rides across bloodstaine
plains. The human note weaves
and through the entire thread ar
lends itself to the mightiest stol
ever unfolded.

Asked about Norwegian sentiment
in connection with Americas entering
the war. Mr.. Steen said that In his
country it was pretty generally be-

make war on Germany.
"It was no surprise to us" Mr.. Steen
said, "but at the first moment 1t de-
pressed us slightly because we had an
that thefnew step would prolong
the war and make own ~suffertngs
even more intense than they had been
before April. Personally, / think,
America didathe only logical and sens
ible thing it could in declaring war
and this view Is shared by practically
all of my countrymen. We are on the
side of the allies; the peasants are,
the businessmen, the mechanics, the
government officials, the king and his
court. There is no difference, but Of
acially we are still neutral. God
knows how long we will be able to re-
main so. Germany does her best to
make us desert the path Of neutrality"
Mr.. Steen will remain in he city

ing plenty Of material to work upon,

Before noon today over a half dozen

SHEEP AIT FAIR
ARE EXCELLENT
Norwegian Sheep Breeder,
Just Arrived, Speaks Of
His Impressions.

That the North Dakota state fair
has gathered an excellent collection
of sheep and cattle was the comment
of Sigvald Steen, a sheep raiser, who
has recently come over from Norway
for the purpose of settling in this
state. S@S t
Mr.. Steen who visited the fair yes
terday and today, said that he was
especially impressed with the fine rep
resentation of North Dakota sheep,
but expressed surprise hat SO COM
p~aratively few classes were represent
ed. In Norway, Mr.. Steen said, they
are constantly crossing the breeds, es-
pecially with cheviots, and are getting
highly satisfactory results.
Mr.. Steen a few weeks ago sold his
extensive farm property in his native
country, the city OF Haugesund.
He arrived in New York aboard the
liner; Bergensfjord, and went direct to
Chicago where he has spent some time
prior to going to Frost, Mimi, whence
he came to Grand Forks.
Expects Norway to. Enter War.
Asked about the war situation in
Norway, Mr.. Steen said:
when I left, the general impress
sion was that Norway would be able
to remain outside the group Of bel
ligerents, but it must be admitted that
just now it looks very much as though
we will have to join forces with one
Of the groups. If we do get into the
war, it will be- on the side Of the al
lies. This you should make clear to
your readers. for all we Norwegiahs
firmly believe that as the situation
has developed, German aggression has
become i~ntolerable."x !"
Mr.. Steen said that the Norwegian
food situation is serious. out not hope
less. There has never beer such a
limited quantity of foodstuffs on hand
as just now" he said, Hand never have
prices been, soaring as they are now
To give you an instance: '"The retail
price of -four has risen about ESQ per
cent during three years. and a sack
Of rye -four which formerly cost about
$3.50, sells at about SIC now"
Churches Had No Fuel.
TN Christiana theaters and res
taurants were forced to adopt an early
closing schedule for the evenings in
the beginning Of this spring; even
churches had to close their doors on
Sundays for lack Of fuel. In this re-
spect the situation has not improved
much since spring. and it is quite GER
tain that it will not improve at all If

FRENCH BARON,
HERO OF WAR
AIDS RED CROSS
Baron de Malaussne Will
Tell First-Hand Story
Of Battlehelds.

One of the best opportunities offer
ed to the people of this vicinity to
learn conditions on the battle front in
Europe will be given on Sunday at
$3.50 p. m. when a French nobleman,
the Baron Henri de Malussene. on
leave of absence from the French
army, will give an illustrated address
in the metropolitan theater under the
auspices Of the local chapter of the
Red Cross.
1t is an unequalled story that this
nobleman of France las to tell, for he
has been on the forefront on the bat
tie line, and for eighteen months ne
led his men to victory against the
German forces. A highly educateo
man of noble birth, he entered the
army as a private in the ranks, as all
Frenchmen do. At the beginning of
the war he had reached the rank Of
sergeant, and since then he has been
elevated to the rank of adjutant, and
for his valor on the battlefield of the
Marine he was decorated by General
Joffre with the Croix de Guerre. Sc
verely wounded he spent some time in
the Red Cross hospitals, and after he
had sufficiently recovered he was
transferred to the Foreign Legion of
France because of his command of
the English, italian, Spanish and
German languages all of which he
speaks fuently.
There are many Americans in the
Foreign Legion and the baron was an
ideal commander for these men. He
is full of admiration for the American
soldier, and in private conversation he
refers again and again to his friends
among the American soldiers who
have fought by his side in the trench
es in France.
The baron loves America, and his
emotion many times chokes his utter
ance when speaking of his dear
friends from this country who have
given their lives fighting for democ-
racy in France
-Four reels Of moving pictures will
be shown by the adjutant' to illustrate
his story of the life in the trenches

GRAND
Most Reports Misleading
Investigation has Remov-
ed Basis Of Complaint.

County Auditor Hans Anderson
said today nearly all of the reports
coming to his Office regarding men
who neglected to register on June 81
were false. To this rule there are
only a few exceptions.
Certain young men who did reg
lister, told their friends that they had
refused to do so, but, upon invest,ga-
ton, it was found in nearly all cases
reported that the men had registra-
ticn cards in their possession.
Those who admittedly did not reg
lister for selective CONSUMPTION, will
be severely punished, and Mr.. Ander-
son made it plain that as far as he is
concerned, he will insist IN prosecut-
ing the slackers to the fullest extent
OF the law.
One registrant reported today that
he had lost his registration card in
the state fair grounds. The card is
now, however, quite immaterial as
long as a new serial number has
been assigned. The registrant ascer-
tanned that his number is sol.
