The work Of Professor Koenig, or

making a lecture tour in this state
for the Red Cross, Is declared es-
pecially effective, according to many
reports received at the state head

DeNauIt Gives Praise.
The effective work that Professor
Koenig Is doing is aptly set forth in
a letter Judge Young has received
from w. b. DeNault. secretary Of the
StutsInan county Red Cross. Mr.. De-
Nault writes as, follows:
professor Koenig closed his
wcrk in this county with a hne
talk lat evening to. an unusually
large audience in the armory
here, having made seven address,
es in three DAYS. He was ac-
companied on his trip through
this county by Senator Steel and
the writer.
"I take this occasion to inform
Won that the North Dakota Red
Cross was very fortunate in pro-
curing the services OF Professor
Koenir. to talk to the Germans.
He is a wonderfully able man
and a thoroughly loyal American
citizen. He presents what seems
to us to be an unansweraple
argument to the German residents
of this county. He presents it in
a very nice way and his address
es have met with universal ap-
proval in every place that they
have been made. We are sure
that his work in this county will
result in a great deal Of perman-
ent good.
"We feel that we have been
peculiarly fortunate in this coun-
IL in having had the benefit OF
his services here. Outside of his
work in this county am glad to
state that he impresses be as be-
ing one of the finest men with
whom I have ever had the pleas
ure to become acquainted.
sincerely hope that arrange
ments can be made To have him
speak in all of the German set
Elements Of this state"
