some volume issued at the time Of
the rebuilding Of the Campanile as
tokens OF Venetian appreciation OF
the American fellowship our visit
meant in this time Of stress.
These were not the first OF such
tokens. It seems that it was on
April Of the revolutionary year OF
as that Venice first attempted to
throw off the Austrian yoke. She
failed then, only to succeed twenty
years later. So when the United
States declared war on April last,
the city sent TO the American
consulate, in the hands Of a veteran
OF both wars, an album for trans

this inscription:

four MINUTE MEN
AREREORGANIZEO
Executive Committee of
Five Is Elected At
Meeting Monday

A reorganization Of Fargo's Four
Minute men unit on a real war basis
was effected at a meeting of speak
ers and interested business men held
with H. II. Wooledge, Fargo, state
director, in the Fargo Commercial
club rooms Monday evening.
An executive committee, composed
Of w. f. Kurlze, Roy T. Baker, A. H
Leimbacher, A. M. Cornwall and
Judge w. II. Barnett, was elected to
head the unit for the duration Of the
war. The committee will meet today
and organize, naming a chairman,
who will also be Fargo chairman,
and publicity, criticism and arrange
ment's committees.
Fargo's Four Minute unit was the
first to be organized in the state,
and has since done very effective
work in carrying the government
messages to the non newspaper read
ing public through talks in local
theaters, and in assisting in the var
ious campaigns. At the time of the
organization, however, it was gen.
orally recognized that the work was
largely for attorneys because Of their
ability to talk readily, and the re-
organization was determined upon to
bring men in other lines of endeavor
into the fold in the big fight of edu-
cation to eliminate the pro- passive
ness Of a large percentage ~of Am
eTican citizens.
Business and civic organizations in
Fargo will be asked to name speak
ers in addition to those regularly
enrolled.
