BOY WAS
in LIFEBOAT FOR
SOME HOURS; DOES
NOT LIKE SUBS

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 1S.-'Well, here
is the reason I got transferred to the
U. S. S. Lake Pewaukee," is the man
ner in which Earl Clayson Of Fargo,
1016 Fourth street North, introduced
an experience with a German sub on
the high seas shortly before the Ger
mans surrendered. 4
Earl Clayson's letter was received
by his parents yesterday, and it was
the first intimation they had that their
son, who was II years old last May,
and who has been in the navy q year,
had met up with a submarines; that
his ship had been sunk, and that he
had spent eight hours cruising about
the Atlantic awaiting rescue.
The lad tells his story in a most
matter Of fact way:
ION August / we left the states for
France, and about $3.50 a.. m. on
August Is we broke down about 480
miles from France, so we could make
no more Roadway.
"At 5:45 p. m. on August is a Ger
man submarine was sighted. They
shot a torpedo at a French cruiser,
but missed the cruiser and hit a ship
called the U. S.. S. Montana. She sank
in less than an hour, and while this
was going on we were at a standstill,
unable to move.
"Well, at ~ o'clock at night, while
we were still broke down, a German
submarine shot two torpedoes at us,
and they both hit in the engine room.
and killed four f1remen. Well, when
the torpedoes hit us we lost no time
in getting to our boats, as the ship
was sinking rapidly. Well. we got in
the small lifeboats and we were in
them eight hours. We finally got
picked up by an American destroyer
and then we were taken to Brest
France. They then transferred us to
the U. s. S. Lake Pewaukee, gave us
new clothes and we are feeling hne.'

STATE MUST
GET IN Line
Business Men and Farmers
Must Aid in Recon-
struction.

Devils Lake, Dec. 1s.-1t is up to
the farmers and business men Of
North Dakota to get into &ep with the
farmers and business men Of the rest
Of the United States in the handling,
Of the great reconstruction problems,
in the opinion Of Fred p. Mann, presi>
dent Of the North Dakota Retail Mers
chants Association. who returned re-
attended the reconstruction congress
called by the Chamber of Commerce
of .hte United States Of America.
II am mighty glad that I attended
this conference and represented the
state Of North Dakota, as in my opin-
ion it vas the greatest meeting Of
business men I've held in the United
ing to can q great deal to the bust
ness interests Of the United States,
and 1t would have been very unfortu-
nate had not North Dakota been rep
resented" said Mr.. Mann today.
There is no reason why the state
Of North Dakota should no take its
place in the business affairs of our
nation along with the other statese,
Notwithstanding the fact that North
Dakota Is looked upon by the eastern
states as the one freak state of our
nation. Unless we take our place in
the business affairs and. of
the United States and try to show the
rest Of the states of the union that
North Dakota is not as bad as pic
tured, we shall certainly suffer greatly
from the misunderstandings that are
now prevailing throughout the United
States nj regard to h kind of people
living in North Dakota.
"Over 5000 of the most prominent
business men Of the nation attended
the congress. All were cry optimistic
at the great opportunity now await
ing the United States II the farmers
hte business people. the laboring mer
and the congress Of the United State.
can all pull together to promote the
great program that will be necessar,
to bring prosperity not only to tn.
United States, but to the whole world
II wish that every North Dakoti
man could have had the opportunit!
to listen to the deliberations of tht
great congress. for I do not think tina
we realize out here in North Dakot:
most of the very important thing
that are now transpfring in our our
try, as we'll as in the foreign countries
and how necessary it is that we shoul'
all work together for the ultimat
benefit Of ALL"
Mr.. Mann declares he will be gla,
to meet with North Dakota farmer
and business men and discuss wit
them the issues raised in the Atlanti
City congress.

from our forces at the front and

the power of emphasis within us we
answer NO.
At this critical period in the worlds
history when democracy and liberty
are endangered by the menace of
German uilitiarism there is no place
for the laggard and Indifferent, but
with every nerve tensioned. every
eve alert, every ear tuned to our
country's call glorious victory shall
be ours
AS for us we are willing to eat
corn bread every meal for each day
to the end of the conflict if by so
doing we can help win the war and
bring victory to our cause. And we
will not be alone in this act of love
and patriotic services. Millions of
loyal Americans staAd ready for any
sacrifice.
Let no one become unduly fright,
ened or suffer any panicky fear over
the present food condition of this
country. There is yet an abundance
of foodstuff and we are not imme-
diateIy menaced by any seriously
threatening exhaustion of all sup
plies if. we will only make and save
to the full limit of our resources.
Then there will be plenty for our
own real needs and much to spare
for others. Our larders, at least in
the south, are not yet empty but we
must m axe and conserve. The pro-
portion Of the producers to the non
producers is growing greater each
year with the number of the farmers
growing exceptionally small, yet
with intelligent effort we shall meet
the requirements and win the day.
