though the work of getting passes
and the time lost in obtaining them
might be avoided, but, I presume
that it has been found necessary be-
cause OF the German propaganda
and spy system to be very careful.
For over week I tried to get what
Is known as a. Workers Permit" and
have just obtained it. Now in go
ing from the city where am to an
other city / have to get another per-
NIT to allow me to travel upon the
train. The country is divided into
zones and to get into what is called
the war zone a, lot Of care is taken
and time consumed in the getting Of
proper passes. Anyone coming
from America who has, the idea that
he can hurry along as we can in our
own country will soon find his mis-
take. The French do not want sight
seers or people who are here simply
for their own amusement and with
out some definite purpose. In other
words, anyone coming to France
must come here with some settled
idea and purpose and that pur-
pose must be one which will help
France, England, America, and their
Allies to win this war.
The first letter that, I received, in
France, after arriving, came from
Paul Jewell, formerly Of Bismarck,
now in the American Artillery at the
Front. He had letter from his.
mother saying that I was coming
to France. and it pleased me very
much indeed to find at the Ameri-
can Red Cross Headquarters a cor
dial letter of greeting. hope a little
later on to have the opportunity to
visit and to meet many of the boys
from my own state, and hope that
passes can be arranged so that I
may be given this opportunity. If
parents and friends Of any Of the
boys who are in France will write
to those boys and tell them that in
case Of accident, sickness or for any
reason that they wish to, commun-
icate with me that they can do SO by
writing to me at 4 Place de la Con-
corde, Paris, France. Letters will
reach me should I be in Paris or
will be forwarded to me should I be
outside and whereas T may perhaps
not be able to reach them in person
owing to the extreme difficulty in
getting passes to go from one, point
to another yet it.,wou1d be possible
for me to get word through Red
Cross representatives wherever they
may be and to see that the boys are
given the care and attention that
their fathers and mothers wish for
them. I am glad to have the oppor-
tunity to in a way, represent the
people Of North Dakota, in France
and to do that (which I may be able
to do for our young men who have
come across the ocean to fight for
human liberty. AS shall get a little
better acquainted with the activities
of the Red Cross, the. Y. NJ c. A,
the Salvation Army, and all the
work here in France, I shall write
and tell you some Of their activities
and the splendid work which they
are doing.

NORTH DAKOT A
-FOUR MIMI TE
MEN Are MINT Il
IN THE NATION
One Hundred Twenty-eight
Speakers Of 217 Units
Earn Commissions

North Dakota ranks ninth in the
efficiency record Of the Four
minute men in the 48 states of the
United States, according to notifi-
cation received today by II. H.
Wooledge, Fargo, state chairman,
from the committee on public SO in
formation, Washington, D. C. @ e.
This means that Four-minute men
in 80 states are less efficient in
carrying the governments messages
to the people.
THE rating is a distinct honor for
the -Four minute men OF North Da-
kota," said Mr.. Wooledge today,
and is a remarkable showing when
it is considered that less than half
the towns in the state have theaters,
making it necessary for speakers to
find other places in which to give
their message. The rating is. also a
recognition Of the work that has
been done in the rural districts OF
the state.

thirty men, the larger number Of
whom were to go to France-some
to Italy. Nine men belonged to the
Friends Unit OF the Red Cross who
are to do reconstruction work among
the refugees OF France. There was
a unit called the Nurses and Nurses
Aid Unit. The women Of this unit
have been scattered over France and
some have gone into Italy. There
were also a number Of women in the
secretarial department Of the Red
Cross. most OF whom are in France
occupying various positions in the
offices.
In the front part Of the steamer
were several hundred Poles who
were coming to- France to enlist in
the French Army. They were in
charge of a French lieutenant. There
were some American troops, most Of
whom belonged to machine gun
companies. We left them on our ar
rival in the port and do not know at
present where they are in France,
but some place doing their part.

they were to do is largely canteen
work, but they had a number Of ply

to aid the French wounded; also
some French men and women return

Polish troops spoke English so that
they understood what was said to
them. Ali were very enthusiastic
and the Polish, French and Amerl~
can national airs were heard many
times on the voyage. One evening an
entertainment was given for the ben
eft Of the French wounded and
something over, five thousand five
hundred francs was realized from
the entertainment.
At night the steamer was dark
ened entirely. No lights Of any
kind were shown. All portfolios
were closed and the air down in the
cabins became very bad before
morning. The food on board the
steamer was good but we had no
butter and very little sugar. Yet
all the way over there seemed to be
pie aboard by reason Of the absence
Of those things to which they had
been accustomed all their lives.
Every morning a French class was
held in the salon and all who cared
to do so might attend. It was quite
well attended and almost everyone
learned few of the common French
words which has been a great help.
When we were off the shore Of
France, a cruiser sighted us and fol-
lowed us to the land. It seemed
very comforting to the passengers
to have a cruiser so close TO US. In
the afternoon of our last day, a
women fell overheard and was picked
up and saved by the cruiser that
followed us. Many rumors were
again anOat. Some thought that she
fell overheard on purpose so that
our steamer might be delayed in the
attempt to pick her up and that way
submarine might have the oppor-
tunity to attack us. It seemed fine
after the days at sea to sec land
again although everyone seemed to
have enjoyed the trip, to have gotten
acquainted with each other and to
have had good time on the voyage.
The last forty eight hours were
rather anxious ones because we
knew that we were in the danger
zone. Extra precautions were talk
en-. None Of the soldiers were allow
ed on deck without their life belts
and the last night at sea the people
were informed that it would be best
upon retiring not to remove any OF
their clothes and to have their life
belts handy. Early in the voyage
each person had been assigned to a
certain boat so that in case Of &C
cident each might go to his boat
without confusion and with as little
trouble as possible. We had boat
drill with all the passengers upon the
deck so that everyone, men, women,
and we had some children as we'll
might know exactly where his
station was. There seemed to he fine
spirit among the passengers and all
tried to make the voyage and their
relation with each other pleasant.
Just before we came to land a fund
was raised among the passengers
amounting to some six hundred

WARN OF LARGER
CASUALTY LISTS
WAR DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
SAY PEOPLE MUST EXPECT
LONGER REPORTS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. q
The nation must steel itself for the
shock of the first great casualty lists,
according to officers today.
These lists, while not dispropor-
tionate to the scope of recent fight
ing, will be far greater than recent
totals and will bring the war home
to America as nothing else, these
officers point out.
American casualties for the entire
war to the end of July totalled slight
ly more than $4,000, so far as an
nounced.
Compared with the French and
British, the American losses will be
small. Seven divisions and two odd
regiments are now engaged Count
ing replacement units. it is likely
that more than 100000 Americans
have been in action.
While casualties normally run only
2 or per cent, it is regarded as
quite possible the dead, wounded,
missing and prisoners in the conflict
80 serious as the Soissons-R Rheims
battle will be 10 per cent or more.
