HOPE RED CROSS CHAPTER
Movement started on Friday Of last week
and membership is increasing rapid
Iy. Everyone should help.

A meeting was held at the
City Hall Friday afternoon of
last week for the purpose of
organizing a Red Cross Chapter
in Hope. Mrs. Buxton, of Fargo,
was present and in splendid
talk explained the work of the
organization at large and the
duties of the chapters. She dis
played a number of samples of
the work done by the members
and explained their uses, also
why everything must be made
according to specifications. Few
people relize the amount of sup
plies that are required in the
hospitals and she gave the a.
mounts of various articles that
are needed in each unit. 1t is
hoped that Steel county will be
able to supply one unit but in
order to do so large member
ship will be required as we'll as
lots of money.
After some discussion the or
ganization was carried through.
Mrs. w. U. White was elected
Chairman, Mrs. R. A. Lathrop,
Vice Chairman, and Mrs. r. J..

About thirty members were en-
rolled at that time and since

SITUATION IN BELGIUM
 DESCRIBED AS VERY CRAVE
By Acting Chairman of Belgian Na-
 tionaI Commission.

New York. April 2S.-The committee for relief in Belgium made public to- night a eablegram received from Emile Francqui. acting chairman Of the Belgian national commission, ia which the situation in Belgium was jeScrsosd as -'very grave"
 '-NativeI foods are scarce" the mes sage asserted, potatoes efetchiEW two francs fifty centimes per kilo, ruta- bagas one franc forty centimes. meat sixteen francs and under these condi- tions 99 per cent. of the popuia ton are reduced to the ration of imported food which is absolutely insufficient. So I lmpiore you to help us and to increase the importation of general foods.
 <. "In view of the extremely grave slt- nation of the hundred thousand French refugees in Be.gium. which number is daily increasing. the French minister at The Hague asks me to advise you of the fact that he has wired his gov ernment to aid you in any way that you demand in increasing the imports Into Belgium"

FIRST AMERICAN LOAN TO
 co TO GREAT BRITAIN
DetaiIs ProbabIy Will Hs Made Public
 Within . Few Days.

Washington, April z3.-The first American loan to the allied nations will go to Great Britain.
 The amount and other details prob ably will be made public by Secretary McAdoo within a few days.
 Whatever the sum, the amount win be available out of the proceeds of the s. .00o, o0e. 900 bond issue soon to be of fered to the public. of which s3,000,- GOO. 900 will be loaned to the allies.
 Announcement to this effect was made tonight at the treasury depart ment after day crowded with con- ferences between Secretary McAdoo and federal reserve board officials and American bankers and bond dealers.
 Another development was the an- nouncement that the size of the first issue of bonds authorized under the s7, ,06S. .o00. 900 war finance measure will depend largely upon the immediate needs of the allies.
 The s5,oO0. .000, ,000 issue of authorized bonds will not be offered in one lump sum, according to present tentative plans, but probably will be called for in several installments of issues. By this course it is believed that financial disturbances which might result were the country called upon to absorb the whole issue at once will be averted.

Again the British have begun a pe- riod of intensive fighting from the re- zion of Lens southward to the Havrin- court Wood and. according to the Lon don war office. have been successful at various points in capturing inn portant German positions. In addi- tion more than 1900 Germans were made prisoner in the first days fight ing in the new offensive.
 Both north and south of the Scarpe river the British have materially ad- ranced att sereval points toward nouai. North of the river the village -of Gavrello. and positions two and a half miles long south of the village were captured. while south of the stream they took the line of the Ger mans on wide front south and east of Monchy Ie Preux and captured the village of Guemappe.
 Further south the entire village of Trescault and the greater part of the Havrfncourt Wood is now in the hands of General Haig's forces. On the northern end of the battle line addi- tional progress has been made south west of Lens. seemingly placing that innortant town in great jeonardgs

NO FIGHT OVER WHETHER GREAT
 ARMY SHALL sE RAISED
VOTE IN HOUSE THURS.
The Only Question at Issue is Whether Sufficient Number of Enlistmsnts Can be Secured Without Resertins to seIeetive Draft Plan.

Washington, April 23.-with both houses of congress debating the war army bill today it became more than ever apparent that there is no fight over whether great army shall be raised, the only question being what strength can be mustered by oppon- ents of the Administrations selectfve plan.
 In the senate passage of the general staff Dill virtually without change is regarded as certain: on the house side the presidents supporters also are confident of success though the con- test there will be bitter. Discussion in the senate may continue until Sat urday. but the house. under a tenta- tive agreement for eighteen hours of general debate. probably will be ready to vote by Thursday.
 Most of the speeches in the house were in favor of the administration plans after Representative Dent, the chairman of the military committee, had made an opening statement earn estly supporting the bill as amended by his committee to authorize calls for volunteers. with provision for ap- plying the draft only if the volun- teer system fails.
