COSTS GOVERNMENT 500
FOR EACH MAN REJECTED

Bismarck, Jan. 23.--Failure of local
draft boards to give proper medic
examinations for men sent to various

mess, according to Adjutant General
Fraser, who issued a statement today
showing the number Of men recently
sent to Fort Stevens, California, and
the reflections.
Out of 234 men sent to the camp,
10 were rejected, entailing a loss OF
about $1,000 to the government, for
it costs about 500 for each man sent
to the camp, that sum including trans
portation meals and pay.
Cass county which sent 80 men,
had no reflections Burleigh county

dy county ten men,, three being re-
jected. Grand Forks county sent 25

MEMBERSHIPS
ALLIES LOST SIX MILLION
TONS OF SHIPPING IN 1917

Washington, Jan. 23.-William Den
man, former chairman of the ship
ping board, gave 100000 tons as
hopeful estimate" of allied shipping
losses this year in testifying today be-
fore the senate commerce committee.
He said an estimate of 100000 tons
production during the year was "a
scientific dream"
Mr. Denman said that nothing could
be learned from British official re-
ports of shipping sunk, because they
included only British vessels and only
a part of the loss to shipping was due
to submarine or mines.
Joseph A. Sloane, president and
majority stakeholder of the Anacor-
DIES shipbuilding company, told the
committee that changes in plans, in
decision of government inspectors and
lumber shortage were seriously de-
laying wooden ship construction at
this yard and in other Pacific coast
plants
A letter was put in evidence show
ing that the shipping board some time
ago took over the contracts of the
Sloane shipbuilding corporation,
which sublet the contract on which the
Anacordes yard is working, and that
the boards representative has inform
ed Sloane that the Anacordes COM
pany has been merged with the
Sloane company, and that his services
no longer are needed. Sloane said he
had acquiesced in the ruling temper
arily rather than stop work on the
vessels

Crowding Held Reason
Men In Camps Are III

Washington, Jan. rs. - From Sur
geon General Gorgas the senate mill
tary committee today sought light
upon health and sanitary conditions in
the army, resuming it's investigation
suspended few days ago to present
the reorganization legislation about
which centers the committee row with
the administration.
General Gorgas reiterated that the
crowding of men in the environments
and camps not ready to receive them
was largely responsible for the cpl
denies of disease which ragged at some
Of the ports. He agreed with other
officers who have proceeded him on the
stand, however, as to the necessity for
hurried training.
Hospital construction was stopped
last summer that barracks might be-
erected faster, he explained, and no
camp hospital is complete now, al
though sanitation conditions are i'm
proving as shown by recent mortal
ity reports.
General Gorgas emphasized the
need for observation camps, the es-
Establishment of which is being consid-
cred, saying much sickness could have
ceen avoided, had there been such
places where men reporting at camp
could have been kept ii days.
lie a so said the men should be kept
in warm clothing, but said he did not
consider clothing shortages as an i'm
portant factor in the pneumonia cpl
demic, explaining that control or
avoidance Of the germ was the prin-
cipal point to be considered.
General Gorgas said he did not lack
authority and had not been interfered
| with. He said he was not consulted
in the selection Of camp sites, but that
with the exception of Camp Funston,
Kansas, all were admirably located
from sanitation standpoint. Hospi-
| tai plans are drawn by his department
he said, but that under a plan of de-
Capitalization he had nothing to do
with selecting the place in camp where
hospitals are located.
| Senator Wadsworth suggested that
lack of central power could be held
largely responsible for overcrowding
and inadequate clothing supplies. He
said he had been informed that the
war department expected to send the
national guard to France before win
ter, but had not co-operated with the
shipping board to the extent of re-
questioning tonnage to sen it across.
The general described the extensive
plans being made for army hospitals
outside the camps. It is hoped, he
said, to provide 1000 beds and estab-
lished hospitals have offered the de-
partment as many as 100000 besides.
The $4,000 physicians in the service
he declared, are ample to take care of
the men now under arms.

THE WISHING GATE

GAS you came by the wishing gate
Oh, pray, what saw you there?"
Il saw a wrinkled mother,
With silver in her hair"
"And what, pray, did she ask for
Beside the wishing gate?"
"She only wished her son might come
Before the night was late.
For he fought afar in Flanders,
Where love had turned to hate"
"As you came by the wishing gate
What else did you see .there?"
81 saw babe and mother,
So tender, sweet and fair"
"And what, pray, did she ask for
The wishing gate beside"
"That he come home who yesteryear
Had claimed her for his bride.
For he fought afar in Flanders,
And maybe there he died."
GAS you came by the wishing gate
Aught else did you see there?"
81 saw tiny grille
With eyes that told of care"
"And what beside the wishing gate
To ask for had come she?"
"Just, only, that her daddy
Might come home to bide a week,
For lie fought afar in Flanders

Fuel Administrator
Baker Makes Discovery

Ignite has been found to have
many uses. Perhaps the most novel
is one recently discovered by Caps. l..
P. Baker, president Of the Benton
Packet Co., and federal fuel admins
traitor for North Dakota. On the edge
of Bismarck, Capt. Baker has one of
the finest farms in North Dakota, and
one Of his particular prides is a herd
of purebred hogs. For years he had
been sending back east for huge
quantities of charcoal which there
porkers were permitted to browse on
for their stomach's sake. Then one
day the supply Of charcoal was found
to be exhausted. Lets try Ignite
coai,' said Capt Baker to his foreman,
cts natures nearest approach to
charcoal" So some Ignite was thrown
out to the hogs, and they liked it, and
ever since they have eaten Ignite
when their stomachs demanded it, and
they have thrived on it.

Loss at Grand Forks

Grand Forks, Jan. 26.-Fire break
ing out in the heart of the business
district shortly before II o'clock to-
night caused a loss of approximately
100000, partially covered by insur-

known cause and had burned through

NorthernSeed Company
Delivers l9l8Catalogs

The Times Record has finished
printing and is delivering to the Nor
thern Seed Company its 1918 catalog
which is being mailed out as fast as
a large force can handle the work
The book has a three-color cover,
making it as Respondent as a burst
of sunlight.
Manager George Kelsey has been
extremely particular in preparing the
copy for this annual, and their patrons
can be assured that every item and
statement will be guaranteed by the
company. Although the catalog is a
little later than those of other seed
companies, the management believed
it the better plan to wait until stocks
and prices could be more dependable
than if the copy was prepared early
in the fall.
The many inquiries being daily re-
ceived by the company shows that
the demand for the "seed you need"
is increasing every year. The sue.
cess of the company has been attained
by furnishing clean seed of high ger
minat.on, northern grown, and back
ing up their product in every particu-
lar.

Army Leaders May
Leave War Positions

London, Jan. 28.-Reports of dis
turbances in Germany again are cur
rent in Holland and severe outbreaks
are said to have occurred in the Rhine
districts. Troops with machine guns
have been summoned to Mutheim on
the Rhine, opposite Cologne, but there
are no details.
London, Jan. 27.-What news has
been permitted to pass the German
censor indicates that a political hor-
acts nest has again been stirred up
in Germany. A dispatch from Zu-
rich to the Exchange agency quotes
the Berlin correspondent OF the
Frankfurter Zeitung as saying that
the Pan-Germans are Kicking up a
tremendous row." and declaring that
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
General Won Ludendorff, dissatisfied
with Chancellor Hertling's speech be-
fore the main committee of the
Reichstag, are again talking of re-
tirlllg.
Emperor William, himself, has not
been spared, the Deutsches Tages
zeitung styling him the present rep
resentative" Of the house of Hohen-
zollern, probably desiring to show by
4 parallel between the emperor and
the crown prince that the annexa-
tionists cherish the latter as the saw
Ior Of Germany at the last moment
from sinking in the abyss dug by
four men-Dr. Won Kueh Imam Ger
man foreign secretary, Count Won
Hertling Imperial chancellor), Count
ZZernin (Austro- Hungarian foreign
nlinister) and Count Won Rueder
fGerfnan secretary Of the treasury.)''
The newspaper adds that King Lud-
wig Of Bavaria already has made rep
reservations to Emperor William re-
garding the political situation which
has arisen.
The Neueste Nachrichten of Berlin
says Chancellor Won Hertling could
not sum up courage to act and is fol-
lowing the example of his predeces-
sor, Won Bethmann-H ollweg, in avoid
ing definite decisions.
The Deusche Zeitung declares the
chancellor's speech is equivalent to a
battle won by the enemy.

NEW POWER FOR ADMIN
MINISTRATION OF STATE FUEL

Bismarck, Jan. 23.-Formal author
ity to divert coal or coke to meet
emergency demands of domestic con-
sumers was conferred on Capt. I. P.
Baker, federal fuel administrator for
North Dakota, and upon similar off,
GERS in other states in regulation
recently promulgated by United
States Fuel Administrator Harry A..
Garfield.
Whenever the state administrator
may determine that any locality or
community is liable to suffer through
lack of fuel, either because of an &C.
tual shortage or because of an I'M
equal distribution of coal in such a
community, or when he finds such a
shortage of fuel on the part Of a
public utility conducting service es-
sential to the health, convenience or
industrial activity Of any of the peo-
pie of the state, he may divert for
the use of such domestic consumers
or public utility any coal or coke in
transit by railroad or other convey
ance within the state and consign for
delivery to any consumer, dealer or
other party for consumption or sale
WlCnln Cne SCdCe.
AS soon as possible after such d.
version the state fuel administrator
will notify both shipper and consig-
nee OF the coal or coke so diverted,
and the shipper thereof will be ex-
pected, so far and as soon as prac-
teal. to replace for such consignee an
equal amount of coal or coke of the
same grade and quality as that d.
verified
No need for such action has vet
arisen in North Dakota, thanks to the
satisfactory manner in which coal was
distributed during the fall and early
winter

gestion Of loaded freight cars at

murrage order just issued, under
which heavy charges are made for the
detention of freight cars. This order

and it is now in operation. Shippers
and consigneers are urged to load
and unload cars with all possible dis
patch, not only as means Of saving
the nation serious inconvenience, but
