OBSERVE JULY 1
IN MANCHURIA
WRITES ANDER'S
Peanuts And Lemonade
Served Russian Kids
Band Music, Too

July 4, Americas Independence
day, was celebrated by Americans in
Hardin, Manchuria, who served the
Russian children with the popular
American peanuts and lemonade, ac-
cording to a letter just received by
Frank L. Anders, city engineer, from
his brother, Lieut.. c. @. Anders,
formerly of Dilworth, MINI.
Altogether, we had a big day."
said Lieutenant Anders in closing
his description OF the celebration.
Lieutenant Anders' letter in part
follows:
Have put off answering your let
ter which was received q. few days
ago, as we have been busy with our
July 4 preparations. We had the
usual weather in the way of rains,
which did much to mar the day as
the rains were exceptionally heavy
even for this part of the world, and
the whole place was sea OF slushy
mud. Still the crowd was larger
than was expected under the cir
cumstances and we had very suc-
cessful day. Mr.. Mozer, United
States consul, and his wife received
the people in the large barracks,
which we had decorated in a very
delightful way with flags of the
allies, plants and boughs OF trees.
Here tea and punch was served to
all by the few American ladies' in
Hardin, and where the ceremony Of
reading the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence was held. did not have
an opportunity to see or hear 1t as
was busy serving out peanuts and
lemonade to the kids and it was
some job. The Russian kids are
wild ones, and almost beyond con-
troll when there is something in
sight that is free. Had them form
in q line and as soon as served fall
out, but they would go back and
try and force their way in the line
ahead of others who had not been
served. However, I managed to give
away a gunny sack full of peanuts
and two tubs of lemonade, and think
they all had one serving and many
Of them more than one 1t was q
hot job for a while, but it made a.
lot of small kids happy, and was
greatly appreciated by the Russians.
While this was going on, the band
was playing to entertain them.
The condition of the grounds pre-
vented the outdoor sports, except
the volley ball games, which a Rus
sian team, playing against an Amer
lean team, won, much to every ones
satisfaction. After this was over,
prepared the floor in the large bar
racks for the dance and then went
back to put on a moving picture show
for the kids and those who did not
care to dance. For the past two
weeks I have been operating the
moving picture machine for the Y.
M. G. A., mostly American war and
industrial films, with few comics
for the kids. Altogether we had a
big day."

that from the time America entered
the war until August /, 1918, the Red
Cross has placed in service a total OF
1891.
Immediately following the Ameri-
can Offensive, Surgeon General Cor
gas increased his requirements to
1000 nurses per week for\the army
alone. This means an average Of 143
per day. In order. to meet this need,
and the needs of the navy, marine
corps and health service, the Red
Cross must enroll an average OF ITS
nurses per day, or 1925 per week.
These figures show what the need
is, and how great it is.
"This campaign should not be con-
fused with the campaign recently
conducted by the woman's committee
Of the Council of National Defense to
enroll student nurses. Taht cam
paign was to enroll young women
who would agree to take a nursing
course in order to qualify as nurses
when the usua training period had
been successfully passed. This cam
paign is a Red Cross campaign and
is to secure trained nurses to minis
ter to our soldiers and sailors abroad
and to the men training in the cam

SEEKS TO AVOID
SHOWING BOOKS
Townley Doesn't Want To
Disclose Records In
Bankruptcy Court

The proceedings by which A. G.
Townley, president of the National
Nonpartisan league. hopes to evade
making a showing as to the financial
affair Of the Nonpartisan league. and
allied enterprises controlled by Mr..
Townley, will be heard by Judge G.
F. Amidon in Fargo. on September
10.
In those proceedings Mr.. Townley,
who has filed a petition in bank
ruptcy by which he seeks to escape
$4,000 in debts incurred while at
tempting to raise flax on the be-
nanza basis in western North Da-
kota, asks that the trustee be re-
strained from further prosecuting
the probe that is being made Of
league affairs as they relate to Mr..
Townley's financial connection
Herewith.
Admits Responsibility.
Mr.. Townley and others have tes-
titled that the financial direction of
the Nonpartisan league, the Con-
sumers United Stores company, the
League Exchange. as we'll as the
several other league enterprises, is in
the hands of Mr.. Townley.
After agreeing to produce the rec
ords of the league to bear out Mr..
Townleys declaration that he was
not personally profiting, except as a
saIaried officer. Mr.. Townleys attor-
neys went into the courts in an eff
fort to prevent any further inquiry.
The attempt to evade the book in
spection was made just prior to the
primary election, and the matter has
been pending since that time.
Many members Of the league, 1t is
understood, have been interested in
having the books Of the league dis
closed, that they might have an op-
portunity of inspecting the same and
match the actual showing with the
declarations that have been made
from time to time. No accounting
has ever been made by the Socialist
league leaders to the league mem
bers.
