being present. During the luncheon
music was furnished by Professors
Stephens and Simmons.
In his address, Judge Young told
of the great work being done by
the American Red Cross in this coun-
try and in Europe. He praised the
people of North Dakota for their
liberal support Of the Second Red
Cross War fund, which is already
close to the 100000 mark in this
state and far above the quota allot-
ted to North Dakota.
THE great fight now on in France
stands more for the principles of
the American people than it does for
any of our allies" said Judge Roung.
THE minute the armies Of Belgium,
France and England started to ward
off the German onslaught in 1914,
they were fighting for us and de-
Tending our principles.
I'VE have been late in getting into
the struggle and for this reason, If
for no other, we should dig in with
all our might in every form Of war
work. Anything we can do to help
the cause along. whether 1t be do
mating to the Red Cross. subscribing
to Liberty loans or giving our sup
port Ito any other war fund, we
should do gladly and without the
least hesitation"

work Of the government, fail to
support patriotic movements, or try
to avoid service in the army now,
