circulation throughout the city today
was to the effect that Roy Bjorge. son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bjorge. us
Third venue, had been reported
killed in action. Roy is serving in the
United States navy and appears to be
assigned to duty aboard a transport

the Atlantic ocean,.
Immediate and thorough investiga-
ton revealed the act that, in the
first place. the parents of the young
man had received no word to the eff
! feet that anything had befallen him,
and. in the second place, the name of
Roy Bjorge has not appeared on any
casualty list issued by the military and
naval authorities at Washington.
The INT today added that Mr..
gram from Washington. Mrs. Bjorge
said she had heard nothing about her
SON; she had a letter from him two
weeks ago, and is expecting further
word from him at any time.

In spite of wholesale German de-
portations, there are still some mil
lion Belgians left in their own coun-
try, but as no provision has been
made by the otherwise systematic
military authorities for the proper
clothing Of The civilian. population, it
has been necessary to appeal to the
United States for aid. The appeal
came to the Red Cross, THE Greatest
Mother on Earth" and Ia been sent
broadcast all over the country. In
Grand Forks city and county as we'll
as in East Grand Forks, the local
chapter Of the Red Cross has respond
ed to the general appeal, and q COM
mittee, headed by Mrs. M. G. Olson,
was organized for the carrying on OF
"a campaign for old clothes for the
Belgians. This campaign opened today,
and headquarters have been establish
ed for a week at BIG DeMers avenue,
in the store formerly occupied by the
Vanderhoef book shop.
"Old" clothes is a term which NAV

Belgians be not so worn and thread
bare as to render. them practically
useless.
