THOUGHTS OF SOLDIERS
AID GIRLS APPRECIATED

Dear Folks of Cavalier County,
/ would impress upon you all that
your boys here in camp are still in
the state of progress that marked the
very beginning of their career here.
AS you probably know, 1,600 men
from this regiment have gone to
Camp Pike. so activity has been some.
what suspended for the time being,
but everything will be in full swing
as soon as the next contingent ar.
rives. To those who are to start life
here soon, it will not be as it was
with those who came first, for every.
thing is in perfect readiness to
receive them., With us the first week
compared pretty favorably with what
my conception Of the "lower place
would be. But we have come to re.
alize that we are here for great
work, and are anxious to remain n ow
until matters are properly straighten-
ed out. IA
The daily routine has been much
the same as it was at the start, only
the men have become stronger physi-
cally, mentally, and believe moral.
lly. for different organizations are
providing many more amusements
than are to be found in the old home
towns. / can truthfully say that
Uncle Sam is doing much for me,
and believe that he will do 80 for
all of us. Personally, aside from ac.
complishing this work, that is to
make our future homes free and
happy ones. haven't the words to
explain to the boys who are coming
soon. all the helpful things that are
in store for them. But they are here
boys, if you make up your mind to
take advantage of them.
One of the boys who was sent home
recently on account of physical disa.
ebility, cried like baby when told Of
| the fact, SO you cannot help but see
there are advantages here. even
though life is not always 'home.

In closingtI wish to thank the
members of the Cavalier County Sol-
dier's Aid for their generosity in
sending me the large box Of "good-
les" for Thanksgiving. II contained
a large variety with plenty Of eve ry.

with which the gift was given each

CITY ATTORNEY is NOW
CITY FUEL ADMINISTRATOR

Langdnn is being kept from the
verge of the coal famine which
threatens not alone this state but the
entire northwest by the effective
work that City Attorney Thos. Deva-
ney is having carried out as local
fuel administrator. Sales to private
individuals are now confined to half
ton purchases, with the prospect nov
however,, that the embargo will soon
be lifted On the grades of what is
knowr, as "soft'' coal. Hard coal has
an outlook that warrants the enforc-
ing Of the regulation regarding half
ton purchases during the balance of
the winter. Langdon dealers are stock.

shortage allows Of with North Dako-
ia Ignite coal and from the general
introduction of this variety into our
homes for kitchin use nearly every
householder is certain to become
accustomed to it's use and thereby ap-
preciate the wealth of fuel that lies
within the bounds of our home state.
If for no other reason, this may be, a
valuable lesson which the present
fuel shortage has taught to US as
North Dakotans. AS people we have
been too inclined to go to the mar
kets of the east for such necessities
of life as are already to be found
with the length and breadth Of our
home DOMAIN.

Field Signal Corps Gives An
Opportunity for Young
Men in u. S. Draft

In letter which was received dur

Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Godfrey, of this
city, their son, Joseph Godfrey, who
has been at Camp Dodge since early
last fall with the men drafted f1om
North dakota, writes most interest.

ing done by the field signal service, to
which branch of military work he was
assigned soon after reaching the
encampment.
'The 313th Field Signal Battalion
he says has the most interesting
work of any unit at Camp Dodge.
They are the men who will have the
honors when the men of the National
Army get to the front in France.
Without them the soldiers of our
army in the field would be unable to
storm the trenches or make advance
on the enemy. The field signal corps
will have to relay the messages to the
men at the front and to do so regard.

man in the unit is skilled in wire

trades. The men are under the
command of Captain L. w. Ainsworth
and there are now three fully COM
pleted companies in the 313th Battal-
ion. One is a wireless company; an
other a telephone and telegraph
company and the third is called the
outpost company. Young Godfrey is.
serving in the latter and expects to-
see much service in action right at
the front Their work will be right
up in the trenches most of the time as
the outpost is at the battle front.
There is nothing said in the letter
as to how lefss the battalion VIII be
in training at Camp Dodge before
being sent overseas. But the men
and their officers are rapidly advancing
in their training for service They
have already taken up the work of!
night signaling. which is done with
rockets that are fired from pistol,
At the time of his writing the battal-
ion was under the instruction of Ser
geant Raoul Arnaud, of the French
army VIII, had been assigned to Camp
Dodge by the governm- mt to instruct
them in this branch of their work.
A radio equipment is enroute to the
camp and as soon as received will be
attached to one of the buildings of the
cantonment and the building itself
fitted with wireless sets and detach-
ments of the companies will be sent
out at varying distances from the
base to receive and communicate orders
as is done in actual warfare
Godfrey says that he could not have
been attached to branch of the ser.
vice at Camp, Dodge where the work
would have been more interesting to
him. He had spent much time before
entering the draft in the study #
electricity and engineering and with
his previous knowledge of this line
of work his advancement will be
certain at no distant time as they
get ready for service at the front.
