About a thousand more men are
needed in the county, for threshing
than for harvesting. which means
that the help of the city men Will

Plans are already being made to

NORTH DAKOTA
UNIT AT FRONT
IS BROKEN UP
Many Grand Forks Men At
fected by Change Recent
~ Made.

Among soldiers letters published In
a Minneapolis daily newspaper Is the
following from Lieutenant ". J. Or
chard of Dickinson, N. D.. who with
part of the Machine Gun company
of the Second North Dakota regiment
was transferred to the Grand Forks
Machine Gun company at the merger
into the 164th U. s. Infantry: the let
ter, which is of much interest to many
people in this city, reads, in part. as
follows:
"A North. Dakota unit again has
been torn to pieces, to the grief of its
members Last week all but six OF
non-commissioned officers left for
new homes. Lieutenant Page and 1
are left here w%ith<only is men of the
old company and about IS of draft
men who have been added to us since
we came here. Lieutenant Page and
myself are still assigned to the 164th
Machine Gun company. as are also
six remaining noncoms and a few first
class %privates.
This balance of our company with
us have been transferred to the Fifth
Provisional School Battalion. The
three officers and the 16 noncoms
who left are all that remain of the old
machine gun company of the 164th
lNGy nave gone W IIdih
men arriving from the states, and I
imagine they will one by n drift up
into the front lines with new organ
izations. .
"In leaving. -four of the boys broke
down and cried like babies. Not be-
cause they didn't raj to do their
work. but because they wanted to do
it with their old pals. The only
thing 1 a say is that whoever gets
six or seven of these that nave gone,
will get men that are among the nest
that ever wore army shoe leather.
Local Men in Unit.
From other sources it has been
learned that the three officers and l6
noncoms referred to in Lieut.. Or

GIRLS FIGHT
WITH GERMANS
Warren w. Garland Has
Seen Many Of Them in
Trenches.

Warren W. Garland, a member Of
Company NJ, 2Sth infantry. American
evolutionary forces in France,
writes his brother, Alfred Garland,
307 Belmont avenu in this city. that
he has frequently see machine guns
girls. some Of whom were captured
by the Americans. The writer Of the
letter which was received today, an
nounces that he has been in q hos
pital for nine days after being
wounded, and says that even after
being ~incapacitated. he captured five
Germans and brought them back to
his WI line before going to the hos
pital.
After informing his brother that
he is in a base hospital in France,
where he has been for nine days in
consequence of being gassed IN his
eyes and lungs, Mr.. Garland says
that he is feeling all right and tells
about his participation in actual
fighting:
Since I came over here I have
been in two battles and I think I
have seen something worth telling
wounded and when 1 got. on my feet
l captured FIVE Prussians and brought
them back to the line. Returning, I
gave them to another guard and then
went to the hospital.
WI never give these Germans a
rest-we keep them awake all night
and all day. I can tell you 1 don't
think this war will last very much
longer.
We have captured thousands and
thousands Of Germans, some of them
only IA and is years old, and they
also have women fighting: we cap
tured three girls who were at a ma
chine u near a dugout, and they
had stayed at the gun until it was
too hot for them.
have seen many German girls
since we started fighting on different
fronts; we have seen them in the
strench. And by this you can realize
that the Germans are nearly done
for. Only they don't want to give
up for they know they are licked {,

40 OR SO MAY
Be REGISTERED
Estimate Made of Number
of Grand Forks Co. Youths
Recently Become 81.

The local war office roughly esti-
mates that forty or fifty young men
who have attained the Of Fl
since June S, 1918, will register for
military service at the court house
Saturday. There is no exact record
on which to base any very acurate
forecast Of the number, but, Judging
from the material in the possession
of h local board, 1t is possible to
make at least a tentative calculation.
The number estimated for he
whole nation is 1853, 900, according to
an announcement made by Provost
Marshal General Crowder. For
North Dakota, the estimated number
of youths who nave become of legal
age since the last registration day,
is 1,09s-a figure which is, Of
course. Subject to change without
notice."
In order to facilitate matters.
many of the registrants here will be
given their questionnaires on Satur-
day so that the requisite information
for 8 in classification Of the men
can be gathered with the least pos
sible loss Of time.J
Only those men who were born
between June S and August "a, 1897.
will be required to register Saturday.
but the order applies to all within
that age class. whether born in this
country or abroad.

Committee Suggests Plan Which
i. Favored in Larger Cities.

Another step for the benefit Of the
soldiers in training at the university
or of any man in uniform. was. taken
when the salute and ride" plan was
suggested by the committee on com.
munity service of the Commercial
club. The plan is that any man in
uniform seeing an automobile with
one of the necessary signs going his
way and having an empty seat, may
ride upon stepping to the curbing
and, giving the salute.
Captain Wells has given his rec
ommendation to the plan and when
the necessary tags have been OBJ
tanned, the Salute and Ride move
ment will begin in Grand Forks. -
The Sunday dinner plan which, has
also been enacted successfully by this
committee has met with such de-
cided favor by the citizens, as well
as the boys. is also an idea of this
committee and due to the fact that
the camp here is not a cantonment,
ACTIVITIES which can no worked out
successfully in other camps must be
omitted here.
