While the birthday supper was at

learned to what use the committee
would put the information he had
given them, and his old heart was
dead within him. One may not be
loyal for seventy years, and then easily
become q traitor.
Then, at seven o'clock, something
happened.

FIRST AMERICAN
ARMY ORGANIZED
WITH | H Five CORPS

With the American Army in
France, Sunday, Aug. 11.-Organ-
ization Of the first American field
army of s corps has been completed.
1t will be commanded by General
Pershing, and it Is understood that it
will operate in tns area north of the
Marne, from which the Germans
have recently been driven. The
American divisions which participat-
ed in that drive have been under a
French commander, but are now in
cluded in the hrst army.
General Pershing, who retains his
post as chief of the American expe-
dictionary forces, after a time may
relinquish the command of the first
army, but possibly not until the or
ganization of the second army is we'll
under way. Meanwhile he will have
two headquarters at the first army
as we'll as at general headquarters.
1t is not anticipated that the crea-
tion of the first army will see any
decrease in the spirit of cooperation.
While Americans have operated un-
der the higher command of the
French have served under American
corps commanders, and it is expect
ed this Interchange will continue.
The step is regarded as the most
important development in the or
ganization of the American expedi-
tionary forces to date. The creation
of the first army brings a great
American force under American COM
mand, but under the orders of Cen
eralissimo Foch. ..-
The size of the army has not been
announced beyond indication that it
contains five corps, commanded by
Major Generals Liggett, Bullard,
Bundy, Reed and Wright.
Each corps is composed of several
divisions, with each division includ-
ing 3 900 troops of all arms, while
each corps in addition will have it's
complementFof military troops, sup
ply troops, air squadrons, tanks, and
heavy artillery. It p understood that
other armies VIII ~ formed. in view
OF the recent Washington announce
ment that 100000 troops already
have sailed for France.

NORTH DAKOTA HAS
HIGHEST MARK FOR
SECOND WAR DRIVE

Now that the final figures for the
second war fund drive have been re-
ceived, first honors in the Northern
division 60 to North Dakota.
North Dakota gave a grand total
Of $645,036.3s, 323 per cent. Of ita
allotment, $540,375.67 Of which was
cash. This is the largest per capita
subscription of any state in, the di-
vision, and one of the highest in the
United States. It represents sacri-
flee on the part Of approximately
13l.347 people. But, aside from the
splendid spirit shown. success was
due to the eh1cient and systematic
manner in. which the campaign was
handled. The total expenses amount
ed to 3s77.sl. = little over one
tenth Of one per cent.

SLIGHT ACTIVITY
ON THE AISNE Line
(By the Associated Press,

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Monday, Aug. 12.-The Ger
mans directed counter-attack
against the Franco-American line be-
tween Scissors and Rheims this
morning but without bringing any
change in the general situation. Nor
did the enemy reveal any intention
of any immediate attempt to recover
any portion of the territory which he
had lost north of the Aisne. At no
point was a hard blow delivered.
The guns on either side were sell
dom silent and at many places, es-
pecially in the vicinity of Fismette
north of Fismes where the lines are
close, the Germans repeatedly raked
the American positions with ma
chine-gun fire. 1t is quite possible
that the German crown prince may
decide upon a counter-attack on a
big scale in that sector, but such ac-
tiQn would necessitate the bringing
up Of divisions which, presumably are
badly needed on the British front and
at other places. .
On the other hand, the Germans
are now in such position along the
district south of the Aisne that they
can afford more time for retiring
over that river, confident that the
Allies will not extend themselves too
much in an effort here at this time.
The Germans are fighting hard
for time, but observers report indica-
tions that the enemy plans still in
clude retirement. The French and
American troops have not ceased to
exert pressure.
