DAkOTAP PRIVATES.
TN FIRST CORPS.
BELIEVED ACTIVE.
in BIG BATTLE.
North Dakota Guardsmen
Apparently Have Seen
Action On The Marine
I64TH AGAIN READY
FOR FRONT LINES
will Go Into Active Ser
vice Under Command of
Flickertail Officers
Privates of the North Dakota Ma

Privates of the North Dakota Ma
tional Guard companies who were
transferred from the 164th infantry
/ (formerly the First North Dakota)
to regular army regiments in France
on their arrival in the war zone last
year, are believed to have partici-
pated in the present intensive en-
lgagementS north Of the Marine.
Officers of the old North Dakota
guard, now offers Of the 164th in
antry, are understood to be up back
of the line where the extensive fight
ing has taken place, being ready to
take their men into action. They are
! in the Sunset division, formerly
commanded by General Liggett, who
now commands the First Army
4corps.
When the privates of the North
! Dakota guard were transferred from
their old companies to the regular
barmy infantries, most Of the Fargo,
or Co. B men, were sent into the
18th infantry, while other North Da-
kotans were transferred to the 10Th
! infantry and the oath infantry.
The 18th: infantry participated In
the fighting at Chateau Thierry in
June, and is believed to have been
in the thick Of the recent fighting.
The absence of letters from the
Fargo boys, members Of that com
pany, for several weeks. lends color
to the theory that the North Dakota
men have been with the American
forces making history in this coun-
try's first test in a big battle.
AS for the 164th infantry, it is Of
icered by the former First North
Dakota officers. When the transfer
Of privates took place, all commits
stoned men and non-coms were re-
tained in the 164th, to train new
men, Just recently letters were re-
ceived in Fargo to the effect that
the 164th infantry was ready for
s6ervice. s ~. g..
,tives of officers in the 164th have
been advised of a change in post
office, giving further evidence that
the regiment has been removed from
Its training camp where it was sta
toned for the past month. The
regiment goes into active service
under the command of Col J. H.
tFraine.

No Opposition,
Declares Bell

Bismarck, N. D., Aug 81. L. Bell,
president of the North Dakota
Bankers association, last evening
denied a story which, appeared in a
Minneapolis paper yesterday to the
effect that the association was plan
ming to fight certain measures Of
the state council Of defense. He also
stated that he had had no conference
with Wesley G. Mcdowell Of Marion,
chairman Of the North Dakota LIB
erty Loan committee, as stated in
this article, and that Mr.. Mcdowell
did not reach the city today.
Reports Of this nature place us in
a wrong light before the council Of
defense and before the public" said
President Bell last night. 1.-THE state
bankers association at its annual
convention in Mandan appointed a
committee to confer with the eXecu-
tive committee of the state council
Of defense relative to it's program. No
particular opposition to any certain
measure was considered. This after
noon, although we got started late,
we had a most, satisfactory and
agreeable conference with the coun-
Gil of defense, and the bankers and
the council understand one another
better as a result. Tomorrow FORE
noon we expect to finish our busi-
ness, and we will then have some
thing to report"

= The, complete success of the allies
is indicated by confidential mes
sage reaching the chief Of staff
from an officer whU at the time of
writing has just returned from Fere-
en-Tardenois. This officer reported
that it was seemingly impossible"
for any army to gather the number
Of guns and shells that were aban-
doned by the Germans in their re-
tirement.
The message added that the Ger
mans had been driven back without
time to bury their dead and the
German bodies lay so thickly it was
impossible to advance without walk
ing over them.
General March said the war de-
partment still was without any in
formation as to the number Of Am
erican casualties in the fighting
since the present battle began.

ARE
IMPRESSED BY
FLOW OF TROOPS
Traffic Men Are Finding
Themselves Fl e vily .
Taxed By Movement

With The American Army in Eng
land, July 1.-(Correspondence Of the
Associated Press. )-Amertcas IN
creased flow Of troops into France
has brought to the British public
realization Of the magnitude Of the
movement. The contngs and goings
Of force after force have impressed
the residents OF England with the
might of their new ally as nothing
else has.
Since the first days Of May the
growing volume has been apparent
Wave after wave Of American troops
has moved forward from the ports
of arrival through the country TO
rest camps and from them on TO
the ports Of embarkation with only
enough pause to get the sea WoppIe
out Of the mems legs.
The number OF rest camps - the
name that has come to be applied to
what really are concentration camps
has been increased, and British
traffic men are finding themselves
heavily taxed to maintain uninter-
rupted the shuttle Of shipping be-
tween England and France. The
British are doing that part OF the
work and American officers nave
been high in their praise OF the ef-
flciency displayed.
Americans are in command Of the
men when they land and are re"
sponsibIe for them in the temporary
camps and up to the point Of going
to the piers where ships are waiting
to carry them to France, but the
TRANSPORTATION both across the coun-
try and overseas is In the hands OF
men who have been moving the
British millions since 1914.
Stop AZ Rest Camps.
It is at the rest camps that the
American soldier gets his first real
stop in the voyage he began at an
American port. At the port Of de"
barkation he is given scarcely q
pause and no opportunity Whatever
to look around. From the ship that
brought him over he Is marched
directly to a waiting train. Tnen
the Journey to camp is begun. But
the trains are fast and the country
is small so the journey never is long.
When the train stops there is a
march, usually for two or three miles
but in some cases the column must
move on foot for 10 or II miles be-
fore camp is reached. TO the British
er who sees passing every day the
thousands OF men the sight is i'm"
pressive.
In London, at General Biddle's
headquarters, statistical officers and
officers Of the Quartermaster corps
continuously go over tables Of fig
ures that vary only as the size Of
convoys vary, and direct the dis
tribution Of each new lot OF arrivals,
and eventually their reshipment to
France.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP.
PAVING Way TO.
$8,OOO,OOO FL Nd
IN NORTH DAKOTA.
Townley's Latest Finance
Gathering Plan Getting
Big Results

"Life memberships" costing 500,
form the most recent method Of rais.
ing money for A. c. Townley's
league.
The "Itfe neruberships," by which
member is admitted TO all the
privileges of league membership 90
long as he may live, have been on
the market for some little time. The
demand for them is not definitely
known, though several league organ
izers who are pushing their aaIe are
pleased, they cay, at the results at
tafned.
1t is not known whether or not the
"life membership" supersedes the
"buyers certificate" ae q means of
raising funds for the league, but IL
is likely that both means will be en-
pIoyed, thus making it possible so
get 5000 out Of each faTmer-one for
the store "eduoationaI and propa-
ganda fund.-" and The other 500 for
the league fund.
AS development Of the financial
workings directed by President
TownIey, the "Iife membership"
scheme has wonderful possibilities.
According to TownIey, there are
10000 dues paying members in
North Dakota.
Forty thousand times 800 Ie
$4,oo0,o0o-and North Dakota io a
small state.
Forty thousand more paying 500
each for buyers certificates" means
another $4y00o,0O0o
The lines, as now laid, would pro-
duee $8,0O0yo00 for MIR. TownIey's
fund in North Dakota.
That is nearly as much az the
whole state subscribed in the last
Liberty loan.
With a fund Of 100000, the
league leaders believe MIR. TownIey
would have no difficulty financing
the three or four dozen newspapers he
controls In North Dakota; the dozen
or more banks that have been lined
up for him; the IS to 80 mercantile
stores that are being organized for
him, and the numerous other COM
merciaI ventures he is directing.

mark. The previous high monthly
record was for June, when $4,000
men were sent overseas.
General March said that official
dispatches covering the battles to
ugust 2 showed the present front
running practically parallel to the
Vesle and Ardre valleys, the next
defensive line Of the enemy. At that
time the advancing forces were
within six miles of this line. Later
dispatches, however, have indicated
that the Vesle- -Ardre line may have
been turned already.
The detectives OF the American
and allied armies still is the de-
struotion Of the enemies army, Gen.
eral March said. The maximum re-
treat OF the enemy UP to August 2
measured 16 miles, the total length
OF the Aisne- Marne salient having
been reduced from IA to 48 miles.
The French and British, pounding
at both flanks OF the salient, Cen

collapse OF the German resistance
on August /, and the French had
walked into Soissons. The advance

Maria Theresa.

The most celebrated instance of the
Salic law in history is the accession
of Maria Theresa. empress of Austria,
writes Fred III. Peterson in Case and
Comment. She was the only child OF
Charles vi, who was emperor from
I'LL to 174O. During his entire reign
he devoted himself to assure his sue
cession in Maria Theresa, making
many sacrifices and treaties to accom-
plish that purpose. The Salic law ex-
cluded her from her fathers throne,
but in 1713 he caused an act to be
passed, known as the Pragmatic Sane
ton, which suspended the Salic law
in so far as she was concerned.
