Mrs. u. 9ATcLaws KiefHer, who had
been visiting relatives in Fargo and
Enderlin for the last five weeks, left
Wednesday night for Minneapolis,
where she will visit friends . and
await government orders as to fur
ther Red Gross duty. Both DR.. and
Mrs. Kieffer have been in the United
States on furlough from war duty
since Dec. 5, both having served in
the base hospital at Juilly, France,
under the French government for
I'll 4vNra -,
the United States. Part of DR.. Kief-
fer's mission to Washington, D. c.,
where he still is stopping, has been
to effect their transfer to similar
service under their own, the United
States government. The regulations
of the latter are much more stringent
i'm some respects than those Of the
French government, and one Of the
difficulties with which DR.. Kieffer
has had to contend is being under
the age limit for a position Of rank
similar to that which he filed under
the French government. The trans
fer is not yet effected, SO far as
known when Mrs. Kieffer left here.
In case the difficulties cannot be sur
mounted DR.. and Mrs. Kieffer, who
were married under French govern
ment regulations, will re-enter the
service of France, having made ar
rangements which will permit them
to do so. before they sailed. In any
case they expect to leave the United
States for France before the middle
Of March. Mrs. Kieffer has spent
most Of her five weeks in North Da-
kota at the home of her sister, Mrs.
A. w. Fowler, in Fargo.
