CAMP DODGE IS
FINE, BERG SAYS
Local Man of Recent Con
tingent Well Satisfied :
With New Life

The following letter was received
from Harry A. Berg who left with
the last quota of selective service men
from this county entraining here for
Camp Dodge on June "a. Mr.. Berg
had charge of the Y. M. c. A. booth
on the train from here to the camp.
The letter which is addressed to. C. e.
Carpenter, reads as follows:
we got to camp Dodge Tuesday
about midnight. The writing paper
was all gone by the time we reached
on at Fargo so we had no writing
paper till we, reached camp. Most Of
the men didn't care to read. so only
about half OF the magazines were
handed out. The men spent most Of
their time running back and forth
through the train. yah hooing at the
natives along the way. They kept
this up about all the way to Dodge.
We had day coaches all the way. SO
it was impossible to get any sleep,
and we were a pretty tired bunch
when we got into camp. e.
Il nave been assigned to the depot
brigade for the present. There was
only one other Grand Forks man OF
the bunch put in my company. The
rest of them were assigned to the
352nd infantry and the 337th artil-
lery. Most Of the fellows I know
were put in the 337th.
In spite Of the fact that all the fell
lows in my company were stranger:
to me ,(and that includes the Crane
Forks man too) I haven't felt lone
some or .homesick yet. I guess that
because we always have something tt
do here. We haven't been complete
ly examined yet or received u uni
forms but we have been drilled ever,
Gay. with the exception Of the frs
day. We were all feeling slightly in
disposed after our vaccinations ant
shot in the back. We have physica
exercises along with the drill.
Everything has been fine SO far
The company is made up mostly o
clerks, cashiers, bookkeepers. etc
ana are a dandy bunch of fellows
The officers are real military me
and fine. fellows. The sleeping quar-
ters here are as comfortable as any
one needs and are kept. a. clean a
possible. The food is good an
!plsntiful. Here is our menu for din
ner today: Roast beef, potatoes an
gravy, radishes, onions, bread an
cutter. watermelon, mince pie an
! ice cream, also lemonade to drink
That lineup should satisfy anyone
I haven't seen much of the cam

JULY FOURTH
TO Be QUIET
IN The CITY
Most People Apparently In
tend to Spend the Day
in the Country.

The one hundred forty-second ami
versary of the signing of the Ameri-
can Declaration of Independence will
not be officially celebrated in Grand
Forks tomorrow, but most of h citi-
gems, it seems, are planning to pay
their customary tribute to the day by
taking part in n or more OF the
various picnics arranged throughout
the county and in the immediate VI
cinity of the city.
The day will be quietly observed by
q display of flags, the general closing
Of stores, offices and public buildings:
the .postoffice will make n regular
mail delivery and the general de-
livery window will be open from 10
to. IL o'clock tomorrow forenoon.
Some weeks ago it was planned to
arrange an elaborate celebration in
the city, but because Of conflict with
other affairs planned in the county,
the idea was abandoned. At n time
1t was also suggested that the foreign
born citizens of Grand Forks arrange
a special Fourth of July celebration,
as 1t will be done all e the country
tomorrow, the president having set the
day aside as a day of reiterated al
legiance to the United States on the
part of citizens of foreign birth. but
this suggestion was not acted upon.

JUNK DEALERS
SUBMIT RIDDLE
TO LOCAL JURY
Damage Suit Calls Forth
\ tDenials and Counter
suit.

A jury in the district court today Is
trying to determine whether NJ. Giller
Of Crookston Is entitled to the sum OF
$468.26 from F. Osman. or Mr.. Osman
can legally and successfully claim
$221.76 from Mr.. Giller. Both OF the
men involved in the transactions are
junk dealers whose differences IN
matters of money grew out Of scrap
iron, wool. etc. \
From the complaint, filed by MT
Giller. it appears that he and Mr.. Os-
man in the early part of 1917 entered
into a contract according to which
funds to the defendant who, in turn.
took it upon himself to purchase
scrap iron and such other articles as
could be handled by the plaintiff, pay
for such goods and ship it to plain
tiff.
Alleges Shortage.
The plaintiff alleges that the de-
PENDANT was short in his shipments to
the amount of $54.5S and that during
the time of their business relations
the defendant drew drafts upon n
plaintiff for the amount OF ~$l,9S5.Io'
such drafts being duly honored by the
plaintiff. Together with the short
age complained Of. this amounted to
Ss,Uot.tCs l NAAo pSAASN
PENDANT shipped to the plaintiff goods
which amounted to only $1,569.52
which. deducted from the s2,037.7S,
allegedly leaves a balance due plain
tiff for o~ver-drafts and shortage in
goods Of s46S.26.
But plaintiff goes even further, for
he claims that defendant has used
plaintiffs money for his WI benefit.
to-wit. $41S.6S. for which he bought
scrap iron. and sold to other parties.
thus, the complaint says, violating the
contract. p.
While the defendant has not point
blank refused to pay $46S.26. he has
failed to do so, and for this reason
Mr.. Giller brings the matter before
the court hoping that a jury will
award him that amount together with
6 per cent interest from October I,
1917. ,
Defendant Claims Money Due.
The defendant denies a shortage in
shipment as we'll as the other charges
directed against him, and makes the
ounte charge that plaintiff Is in
debted to him for the amount of
$221.76 plus 6 per cent interest since
August l, 1917, and not only asks the
court for the dismissal of the COM
plant against himself. but also that
the amount indicated in his counter
charge be allowed him.
Attorney H: A. Libby appears for
Mr.. Giller. and the defendant is rep
resented by Attorneys Burtness & Nc
1ntyre. Mr.. Burtness being in court.
Several witnesses have been examin-
ed, and it is thought the case will be
completed some time during the aft
ernoon.

upon the allied forces it is quite probable that 1918 will
end with the defeat of of Germany well advanced and

mics and forcing one both to surrender, it will not be
possible for the war to be decided in 1918 1t will have
beOun new phase with the United States and Germany
emerging as the chief contestants President Wilson's
opinion evidently is based upon the hope and faith that
the German power would be overmatched this year.
We all hope and believe that Germany is fghng its
last series of decisive battles and that the allies will make
the enemys attempts vain and nothing worth So far
as the actual conquest of France Great Britain con-
