denied themselves comforts and even
the very necessities of life to give
to this great cause. They have given,
in many cases, when the canvassers,
knowing the circumstances. could
not keep back the tears as they took
the gifts. 1t is customary to de-
clare that statistical reports are
dry. Why, there are figures on
file in this Office that touch the heart
in a way that nothing else can do.
1T all means that there are peo-
pie who know Of a certainty that
nothing matters but winning this
war. 1t means that thousands of
people in this great state OF ours
have put the welfare Of the boys
and of America above everything
else. 1t means that all who gave to
this fund Of mercy, know in their
hearts that honor and truth and ten
derness and service count more than
everything else on earth. 1t means
that they know in their generous
hearts that uprightness, and faith in
our fellowman, and real understand
ing Of one another are the funda-
smentaIs without which life, in its
highest and noblest sense, cannot be
lived.
THE record is made up now and
it will be kept intact, in order that,
when the boys come home again, we
may submit it to them, detail by
detail, that they may know who
helped them win and who it was
who failed to back them up.
= The Overhead Expense.
Every feature Of the work Of the
American Red Cross is open and
above board. There is nothing to
conceal. Here at state headquarters
we are proud of the record that was
made. Every penny of the expense
incident to carrying on this war
fund drive is met from the national
organizations share Of the member
ship dues and not a penny of it
comes from. the war fund itself.
"That the people Of North Da-
kota, whose generosity made this
splendid gift to the American Red
Cross possible, may know just what
the expenses incurred at state
headquarters were, we have submit
ted, with the report on the war
fee in handling the drive.
at feel that it is a complete an

some sort of a graft in this work.
1t shows an overhead expense of a
fraction more than one-tenth Of one

''In connection with this expense

out particularly that the returned

Volunteer Nurse
Finds OzO11 Son
Among Wounded

Paris, Tuesday, July ga New
York woman attached to the Amer
lean Red Cross happened to be in
Paris today and volunteered to help
in taking care of the wounded COM
ing in from the battlefield. She was
working busily when startled by a
loud cry of Mother" Turning she
saw her own son, g. young lieutenant
in the American army. He had been
wounded in the leg by shrapnel in
the fighting Monday. She obtained
permits tpon to accompany her son to
a hospital After seeing that he
was attended to she went back to
the station to cheer, as she said, the
the boys who had no hope Of find
ing a mother to welcome them.
The mother is a prominent social
worker in New York and has been
doing Red Cross relief work among
the refugees in France.
The first news she had had, that
her son was engaged in battle was
when she heard his cry. .

FEW DEFECTIVE
BOMBS ARE FOUND

Washington. July 24.-While wait
quiry into the failure Of naval air.
plane bombs to explode when drop
ped in the attacks by naval aviators
on the German submarine off New
England coast Sunday, the navy de-
partment is making a thorough in
spection Of its entire stock of these
projectiles to determine the relia-
bility Of defamation. At the same
time the ordnance bureau Of the
navy has taken under consideration
the alteration of bombs used in
aerial operations to increase the GER
ta1nty of their exploding.
Secretary Daniels said today that
very low percentage Of the bombs
which fail to explode has been dis
covered thus far in the navy's tests.
The great obstacle met by ord
nance experts in securing efficiency
in aerial bombs is the necessity Of
a factor Of safety for
the protection of the aviator. Abso-
lutte certainty Of explosion could be
easily had, but 1t would be accom-
panied by great danger Of accidental
defamation before the bomb was re-
leased.
It was explained that the naval
inquiry is not intended so much to
determine the failure Of the aviators
to damage the submarine off Or
leans, Mass, as to make certain that
the store of projectiles is ready for
efficient service. It is definitely
known one Of the two bombs drop
ped last Sunday struck so far from
the target that 1t would not have
damaged the submarine had an ex-
plosion occurred.
Reports to the department show
fine results are being obtained in
the use of. thetdepth bomb, originated
and perfected by the American navy.

Portland, Maine, July 24.-All those
on the Gloucester fishing schooner
Robert and Richard, sunk by a Ger
man submarine off the Maine coast
Monday, had been accounted for to-
day. There were 23 persons, on the
vessel. Three men were landed at
Kennebunk Port and IL at this port
last night. Four more were brought
in here today and four men and a
boy picked up at sea and taken to
Boston.
Kennebunk Port, Maine, July "a
Scores of patrol boats, submarine
chasers and private craft were
sweeping up and down the coast in
this vicinity today searching for
eight Of the crew of the Gloucester

submarine Monday morning, SIS miles
off Cape Porpoise.
Other members of the crew, in
Guiding Captain Robert Wharton, ar

men were not in danger except from
exhaustion.

1t would not surprise naval men to
hear that it had bobbed up some
where along the Massachusetts, coast
or farther south. Naval and marine
men were inclined to the opinion that
only one, submersible has been in

tions given by the crews Of the
sunken craft would. indicate that

DOUBLED BEFORE

General Pershing To Have
At Least 100000
Men This Year
NO DECISION ON
DRAFT AGES YET
Ultimate Aim Of War De-
partment Is An Army
Of 100000
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, July 24.--With prob
ably not much more than a quarter
of a million American troops en-
gagged in the present battle. but with
virtually & million others either in
France or Fastening across the
ocean, General Foch has been able
to turn the tables on the enemy and
strike blow that has changed the
whole trend Of the Swar.
Officials here, while knowing the
Americans are today only g. compar-
atively small part Of the vast forces
the supreme commander is using,
realize the fact that the American
army is going forward in a con-
stantly increasing stream Is the
governing factor in restoring the
Initiative to the allied forces. 1t is
now virtually certain General Foch
will command at least 100000 Am
erican troops before winter.
Secretary Baker announced today
the war departments new program
embraces enlarged army appropria-
tions, notifications Of the draft
ages to include the reservoir OF
fighting men, and plans for a larger
mobilization of the army than any
yet undertaken, would be ready for
congress. He would give no details
but the plans probably aim at get
ting under arms without delay
total force not far short Of the g.
100000 figure widely discussed in
congress when the subject was last
under consideration.
The fighting in the Aisne salient
has opened new possibilities. There
is increased need for haste, officials
say, in getting full American man
power ready to assist in beginning
the advance that will end only with
victory.
Mr.. Baker said today the last re-
ports from Gen. Pershing were sat
isfactory, but it was clear the minds
of sofficials here are engrossed in
preparation for offensive battles on
an even larger scale.
Mr.. Baker would not say what
changes in draft ages are contem-
plated. The matter is still under
study, he said. He disclosed the
fact that a definite figure for Am
erican forces to. be employed, in
000, 900 figures widely discussed in
time is being held in mind. The
study of the draft age he said was
based upon finding the necessary
number of men with least possible
disturbance of economic conditions
in the country"
The original national army plan
as presented by the war department
recommended age limits Of 10 to rs,
inclusive. Congress has changed
these limits to the present 81 to 81
law. There has been nothing to in
dictate, however, that either Mr.. Ba-
ker or his advisers have changed
their opinion that men of 10 should

urged in congress recently that the
maximum be set at As years. That
would involve an enormous amount
Of registration and extension of rec
ords, for which a very small return
in fighting men could be expected
in the higher ages.
One Of the chief arguments for
extension upward of the age limits
is the power it would give to apply
the work or fight rule on far wider
scale.

The chief Of staff announced that
he had ordered six new infantry d.

during July, stationed respectively
at Camps Devsns, Mass; Meade,
Maryland; Sheridan, Alabama; Gus

TWO regular infantry regiments

from the two infantry regiments of
regulars, the divisions will be COM

Was Designed To Keep
Enemy From Sending
Reinforcements South
FRENCH GAINED
ON 4-MILE FRONT
Allies Are Too Busy To
Count The Prisoners
They Are Taking
(By Associated Press.)

London, July 24.-The French at
tack near Montdidier yesterday was
a very we'll executed and successful
minor operation, and according to
dispatches received this afternoon
from the battlefront, was presum-
ably designed as a diversion to keep
the enemys mind occupied and pre-
venting him from sending large re-
Inducements to the southwark.
At the same time it also effected
an important local Improvement in
the line at a sector where every ad-
vance means better protection for
Amiens and Paris. The French at
tackled on a four mile front after an
hours bombardment Of the German
lines, and captured all three villages
Of SauViIlers, Aubvillers and Mailly-
Raineval, within Is minutes.
About a thousand more prisoners
have been counted by the entente
allies in the last "a hours. OF this
number about half have been credit
ed to the Americans and British, but
as a matter Of fact the allies just
now are far too busy to devote much
time to the counting of prisoners.
Fighting of the fiercest character
continues, and the present to-and-
fro struggle all along the Scissors
Rheims loop is very close, strenuous
work and probably not SO many
prisoners are being taken as would
be the case in a direct advance or
a retreat action.
There has been little change in the
last "a hours in the appearance Of
the Scissors Rheims pocket as 1t ap
pears on the map. What changes
have been made there are all to the
advantage Of the allies. The French
and Americans have gained further
ground ain the bottom of the pocket.

people contributed to this fund.

might be fully equipped to meet ev-

THE record made by the several
counties speaks for itself. In some
the allotment was made low, be-
cause Of the fact that last year there
had been crop failures there. ~ -.

Have Not Yet Retired.
The expectations of those who
thought the Germans were preparing
to give up Immediately the entire
Scissors Chateau Thierry- Rheims
salient and retire to the Vesle river
or the Aisne have not yet been
fulfilled.
According to today's dispatches
the German is fighting his hardest to
hang on to every foot Of ground he
has and is constantly counter at
lacking with surprising momentum,
both on the Marine and along the
west side Of the salient.
1t is true, Of course, that this is
exactly what the German would be
likely to do If he were actually in
the process Of retreat, but the al
lies so far have had no definite in
dication that the German has made
up his mind that a general retire
ment will be necessary.
The Germans are burning villages
and some small dumps but presum-
ably a further prodding will be
needed to push him back to the river
Vesle.
Meanwhile the entente allies, not
only the infantry, but also the artil-
lery and bomb dropping aviators, are
working without rest at the business
of making either a stand or a with

Washington, July 24.-The advance
Of the allied and American forces
around the Aisne- Marine salient has
been practically steady for the last
two days, General March, chief Of
staff, said today, despite the fact
that Is divisions Of fresh German
troops have been thrown into the
fighting at scissors and on the line
south OF there.
The Germans are fighting desper-
ately to retain the single railway line
remaining in their hands over which
heavy material can be removed as
they retreat, General March said.
If that railway, running from
Fismes to Fere- en- Tardenois, is
reached by the allied troops, General
March said, German forces remain
ing in the salient will be pocketed.
On the Rheims side of the salient
official reports show the enemy has
been thrown back an average dis
lance Of mile and a half on a ten
mile front, despite heavily wooded
country and high ground to aid his
defense. The area lost by the Ger
