NATIONAL GUARD UNITS MAY

Those Who Have HID Experience On
The Mexican Border Said to Be In
Line For Foreign Fighting Front;
France Is Making Request; England
Has Acquiesced But Would Rather

Conference At Washington
UNITED Press Dispatch.1
From Mondays Daily. :

Washington, April 30.-It will be
only matter of few days before the
United States militia unit, which have
, been modified, will be on their way
to England, and only a matter of
about six weeks, when they will be
actually on the fighting line in
France, if the plan of the allies, as
revealed today, meets with the ap-
prevail of President Wilson. The
delegates of the allies at the war
council are anxious to have every
outgoing ship carry hundreds az
American soldiers over to Europe. II
is argued on behalf Of this plan thai
the gradual sending of American soft
diers over to Europe will do away
with the necessity of concentrating
enormous bodies of men at any one
place, and will also make the solu-
tion of the food problem much easier.
The European delegates are anxious
to send over the national guard units
that have had experience on the
Mexican frontier, as these will be the
most efficient and the best to handle
within the sound of the guns, and
will be most quickly ready for ac-
tual fighting. 1t is believed that such
companies can be made ready for
service on the western European
war front in less than five days.
Anxious For Expeditionary Force.
The allies are anxious for an ex-
peditionary force of some description
from America. Great Britain has
not pressed this request very strong
l. y, but General Joffre, speaking for
France, has been quite emphatic on
that point, and Great Britain has ac-
guessed Great Britain has laid
more stress on the food and money
problems Men would be welcome.
however, on any of the fronts on
which the allies are fighting, even
unframed men. 1t has been suggested
that 1000 American marines or some
battalions of the regular American
army be sent. The idea of Theodore
Roosevelt to take over force OF
American vowlunteers is meeting with
ready approval on the part of the
European delegates. Strong pres
sure is being brought on the admin
istration by members of congress and
many influential citizens outside Of
congress to get an American expe-.
dictionary force sent to France as
quickly as possible.

for Wheat-Farmers Up in Air
and Demand More

Fargo, Aug. 21.-The Forum of Mon
day, in startling headline, top Of
first page, printed this item:
Farmers of North Dakota are to-
day facing the possibility of having
their wheat Communicated by the
United States government at a price
of $1.65 per bushel.
This information was brought to
Fargo this afternoon in a telegram
from Morton Page. who was chairman
OF the resolutions committee of the
meeting of Fargo business men, held
Saturday morning.
Congressman Young states that
$1.65 is the price that Herbert C.
Hoover has decided upon in his own
mind and that anything North Dakota
gets above that figure will be secured
by shaking 'clenched fists in the faces
of Garfield and Hoover
Prompt steps are being taken this
afternoon to see that North Dakota's
protest Is made in a prompt and Wig
orous manner. The telegram will be-
repeated to every commercial club and
to the principal farmers organizations
of the state and they will be urged
to telegraph their protests to Wash.
ington at once.

FARMERS UP IN ARMS
AGAINST PRICE Of $l.65

Wheat growers around Oakes sent
the following letter last night to Sen
ator McCumber and Congressman
Young at Washington:
patriotic wheat growers, repre-
senting 100000 acres, hereby voice
their protest to any price-fxing on
wheat at less than cost of production.
Any price short of $3.50 per bushel will
cause wheat to be used for stock feed
and immense reduction in production
next year. If you do not want wheat
strike. get busy and demonstrate that
we have representation at Washington.
Farmers feel that implied promises
made last spring by government for
remunerative prices are not kept unless
price is fixed at not less than So. 90 per
bushel."

"1nasmuch as we, the directors of

the State Of North Dakota, represent
ing membership of three hundred
fifty farmers. that are wheat raisers,
and believing also we know the -senti-
ment cot the other farmers of the
county, as well as the members of
the organization, as to what would
be fair price for the government to
pay for the 1917 crop of wheat.
"Be it resolved, that we protest
against the 1917 wheat crop being
commandeered by the government
unless the price fixed shall be to ex-
ceed $500 per bushel at the terminal.
Anything less than this we consider
unjust and unfair to the producer,
and that it will be less than cost of
production plus reasonable profit
We also think it will result in lower.
ing the acreage of wheat next year
materially. We are basing this pro
test on the increased cost of produc
tion, and low yields per acre. this
year, and in the years past.
