Ask Registrars
To File Names

Orders received at the Cass county
military board from the adjutant
general Of the state this morning
state that in order that the adjutant
general may have a list Of skilled
labor of all kinds at hand to fill calls
made upon this state for the induc-
ton Of men for special work, regis
trants are urged to file their names
with him, giving their qualifications,
serial number, order number and
county in which registered.
1.-THE demand for skilled labor will
increase each day the war lasts anS
this Office desires to be in a position
to meet the demands Of the provost
marshal general with the utmost
promptness without the necessity of
calling men in classes moro deferred
than class 1 if possible" says the
order.
The fact that registrant is listed
in the office of the adjutant general
will in no way affect his satus as a
registrant and no information as to
when such men will be called is avail
able. Men who are not registrants
should not list their names with the
adjutant general, as they cannot be
indicted into the service but must
enlist at army recruiting offices.

SCIENTISTS
HOLD UNIQUE
WAR BANQUET

Ninety-two members Of the North
Dakota State Academy of Science,
who close their tenth annual conven-
tion in Fargo this evening, partici-
pated in one of the most unique war
banquets ever held in Fargo at Ceres
hall diningroom, of the agricultural
college Friday, bringing to a close
the first day Of the convention.
Since money must be saved to carry
on the war, brains were used instead,
and the original ideas worked out
were startling. The main dining table
was in the form of the Red Cross en-
blem. Instead of the usual centerpiece
of flowers, there was a centerpiece
composed OF garden tools, fireless
growing vegetable plants and
canned goods. At the top of this var
led collection was a mammoth lamp
shaded by Red Cross posters. and with
flags of the allied nations projecting
from the shade. On the wall was a
large American flag hung between the
school and the alumnae service flags.
ON all screens and curtains was a.
frieze of new war posters, all of re
markable beauty. The draperies OF

with flame bursting from it.
The seven other German machines
were shot to pieces in rapid success
sion and took the final plunge, three
of them leaving a, wake of fire and
black smoke to tell the story of the
terrific fate suffered by the men
strapped in their seats. The five 9TH
err crippled enemy machines were
seen to dive away in the hope of
reaching the ground safely.
Thirty minutes had sufficed for the
two British machines to accomplish
all this. Only seven of the twenty
enemy planes remained in the air
The British had used up all their am
munition in the furious melee, how
ever, and there was nothing to do
but withdraw, which they did in
safety.

PurSer on Holland
Liner Under Arrest
Acted as Agent for Disposal of
Bonds and Coupons From
Germany.

An Atlantic Port, Feb. 18--Johannes
Hendrix Werkhoven, assistant purser
on the Holland America liner NieUw
Amsterdam, was arrested here today
under the trading with the enemy
act and is said to have confessed that
he had brought to this country for
redemption bonds and coupons owned
in Europe. He was held in $4,000
bail for further examination.
Army intelligence officers have
been puzzled as to the manner in
which securities known to belong to
eGtrmans residing abroad have been
brought TO the United States and
converted into cash. The arrest OF
Werkhoyen, trapped while negotiat-
ing the sale Of a $500 United Fruit
Company bond, is believed to clear
the mystery. Werkhoyen is said to
have admitted that since the out
break of the war he has been making
large profits by bringing TO this coun-
try and cashing bonds and coupons
which he said were owned by
friends in Holland" He denied hay-
ing had any dealings with Germans
