the boys has a large space in our
hearts. The boys are fine looking
bunch. You could read patriotism and
pep stamped on their faces, anxious
to serve their Country. At Stanber-
ry there were only few at the depot
but the boys yells soon had them
coming with the cigars. Stanberry
has a tender place in her heart for
North Dakota as some Of their best
farmers went to Minot and Des Laos.
1t wasn't long until the names of
Gunter, Hussey, Straley, Williams
and Cogdill were heard.
On the trains, their yells found their
way across many a cornfeld to the
Mssourian on his cultivator; it did
not take him long to see the three big
yellow, steel, Chicago, Milwaukee cars
covered with flags, so up would go
his hand to his hat, for he knew Gun
Gle Sans boys" were on their way to
Berlin.
The Red Cross at Maryville gave the
boys warm reception, serving them
noon lunch, consisting of sandwiches,
boiled eggs, radishes, onions, hot cof-
fee and cake. The very best they
could afford was not too good for the
boys. We held a short conversation
with several of the boys and soon
found a number were from Minot and
vicinity. 1t seemed like meeting old
friends to mingle with them.
Three cheers for Dakota Volunteers.

VIENNA KEPT ITS
HAND ON SAVINGS
OF SUBJECTS HERE

tBY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRs1
New York, uly 12.-How the AUS
tro- Hungarian government got con-
troll of the savings of its emigrants to
this country through the Trans-At-
lantic company, now seized by the gov-
ernment, was told today by Francis
p. Garvan, investigator for the alien
property custodian.
The immigrants, upon their arrival
in New York, he stated, were met at
the piers by an agent of the bank who
directed them to boarding houses, the
keepers Of which were representatives
of the Transatlantic institution. Even
the services of clergymen were util-
lied to impress Austro- -Hungarians
with the Importance of placing all
their funds with the establishment
whose controlling hand had reached
from Vienna.
Millions of dollars worth of Austro-
Hungarian and German war bonds
were sold to these immigrants and to,
others who had become American eiti-
zens.
On the day federal administrators
seized the bank it had $4,000 deposit
tors and $4,000 customers, located
throughout the country. Its deposits
totalled $7,000.000. Since its organiza-
tion 1t had sent total of $4,000, ,000
kronen ($72,S00,0 ,000) to Austria Hun
gary. When war was declared to ex-
ist between the United States and the
dual monarchy, the bank invited de.
positors to place remittances with II
for transmission after the war" and
big business was done in this branch.
