MINOT.
There's a thriving little city,
In the golden Central West;
And among my worldly travels,
It's the one that like best.
It's our grand old magic City,"
Out among the Western hills;
And our hearts turn ever onward,
To it's beauteous parks and rills.
To it's many haunts of grandeur,
Where we oft have found repose;
To it's Powered banks of verdure,
Where the calm Mouse river flows.
Unmolested and secluded
Among the many stately hills,
Is the thriving magic City"
That our heart with proudness fills.
Many places quaint and lovely,
Can be seen in every part;
And it's many clean-kept avenues,
Give to it it's magic art.
Here's where many find contentment,
Here's where many come to dwell;
In our "Magic City"-Minot,
Which all are feign to like 50 well.
A place 50 calm and inviting,
Where all from toll and care are
free;
Where Mother Nature whispers softly,
"Come spend peaceful day with
me-"
In the time of strife and trouble,
Minot sure has done her part;
Sent her boys away to battle
With brave and willing heart.
Many boys in foreign battles
Picture Minot in their mind;
Call the time when they'll come
homeward
To the folks they left behind.
We will do our part for Minot,
We will do our very best;
For the thriving magic City"
In the golden Central West.

Report for Duty.

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash, Aug.
15-Leland l.. Hudson, select from
Paxson Alaska, 200 miles north of
Fairbanks, is here after a trip of
more than 5000 miles in which he
travelled by dog team. blackboard, mail
barge, river steamer railway and
coastwise vessel.
Due to mistaken idea on the part
of the registrar at Paxson that all men
who registered there were obliged to
give their address in "the states,
Hudson gave his mothers in Seattle.
His card was sent there, and on May
90 he was ordered by the Seattle
board to report there for duty. He
asked for a two weeks extension. be-
cause boat did not leave Fairbanks
until late in June, but he received 4
reply TO take the first train or be
cassed as a deserter." The nearest
railway is at White Horse, more than
1900 miles away.
He left Paxson May 26, going AZ
miles by dog team in two days, in
which he went through a blizzard;
then ~ miles by blackboard in two
days, in which he had four relays of
horses; down the Tanana River and
through the Bates Rapids for 100 miles
on mail barge and arrived at Fair
banks June 2. He took steamer for
Dawson June 20 and went 900 miles
down the Tanana and up the Yukon,
arriving at White Horse July 5. While
on the Yukon, which makes a wide
bend and goes north of the Arctic
circle, Hudson, with 80 other selects,
who were going to FIT. Yokon, drilled
on the upper deck of the river boat
under the light of the midnight sun.
He took the White Pass railroad
from White Horse to Skagway, pay
ing $40 for passage 10 miles long,
and arrived in Skagway in time to en-
gage passage on a boat for Seattle,
which left July and arrived there
July 8. He reported for duty here
July &c, but it was not until yester-
day when he presented vouchers for
his expenses, totalling nearly $500,
that officers were aware of his long
journey.

them, but their force is ridiculously
small compared to their opponents,
while they lack most auxiliary equip
ment and are deficient even in the es-
sentials.
IF it is the allied intention to hold
the rear while the Czechs do the
fighting, General Dieterichs' small
force might well be annihilated, but it
is inconceivable that the allies will re-
frain from active cooperation, and
that cooperation must be on a larger
scale than hitherto contemplated"
In an editorial the Times emphasiz
es the urgency of Fastening allied &C
ton. 1t says that the Czechs have
been driven back from the Ussuri
front and also have suffered reverses
in eastern Russia. 1t is imperative,
the Times declares, to send help to
western Siberia through Hardin,
whence, it says, Lake Baikal ought to
be reached in moderate strength with
in a reasonable time.

NEW CZECH NATION

LONDON, Aug. 15.-British recog-
milton of the Czeche-Slovak nation in
commented on favorably by the news
papers. The Daily Graphic says that
it means that in addition to the other
war aims, the allies are now commit
ted to the formation of a separate and
Independent CZecho-Slovak nation out
of the ruins Of the Austrian empire.
Dr. Dillon, writing in the Daily Tele-
granh, says:
These untimely measures tell Of the
determination of the entente powers
to break up the Hapsburg monarchy
into it's constituent natoinalities and
to take as much thought about the re-
constitution of the east as of the west
of Europe. The Importance of the
declaration lies in the implied resolve
of the allied governments to carry on
the war until this solution is reached
1t is suggested by the Daily Chron-
icle that the policy exemplified in the
Polish and Czecho-Slovak cases
should be completed by the recogni-
ton of the Jugo-Slavs.
