Minneapolis Publisher Inter

is Visiting.

DR.. N. J..Lenker. publisher and edi-
tor Of the Northern Review, Mime
apolis, and author Of the historical
work. "Lutherans in All Lands" is in
the city today on business visit. MI.
Lenker, although an American by
birth, and tradition, has for many
years been intensely interested in the
study of the Scandinavian languages,
particularly Morse, and it is chiefly
due to his efforts that they were in
troduced in American high schools
throughout the northwest.
When seer today, DR.. Lenker said
that an interesting movement Is on
foot in North Dakota as we'll as else
where to replace the German by the
Scandinavian. language. study in the
ment he stated that there are many
sound reasons for carrying such a
movement to a successful end. Here
are some Of the reasons, DR.. Lenker
gives:
The Scandinavian languages are
live and modern Languages; they have
a considerable business value, a mag
niicent literature, old and modern;
they are the key to the treasure house
Of Scandinavian history which is Of
much Importance to the rest of the
world OF the great part 1t mas
taken in forming present day Europe
and America.
Furthermore" DR.. Lenker said,
there are a number Of Scandinavians
in American history, and; it should al
so be mentioned that Scandinavian is
the tongue spoken by, millions of our
citizens and ancestors. Libraries and
| high schools are becoming increasing
ly interested in the study Of the Scan
dinavian languages because they real
ize the importance of knowing more
than one tongue"
Recently DR.. Lenker celebrated his
25th anniversary as the author of. his
chief work, "Lutherans in All Lands
AS the quadrecentennial. Of the Ref
ormation was celebrated last year, DR.
Lenker was requested to maintain
interest in the historical phase OF the
Protestant movement by taking steps
toward the publication Of a quarterly
which. is to form q supplement to. the
original work about Lutherans. The
quarterly which will be started soon
will publish from time to time al

Quantities on Hand in Each
Home to be As
certained

On Monday and Tuesday Of next
week a -four and sugar survey will be
conducted in Grand Forks city and
county under the joint auspices of the
food administration and the CONNER
cial club. The object is to find out
exactly how much wheat, wheat -four
and. sugar is on hand in each home.
A corps of will go from
door to door on Monday morning dis
tributing cards to be filled out with
information as to the quantities in
stock and also the number of mem
bers of the family. On Tuesday
morning. the same c~anvassers will re-
turn to the home and call for the
cards.
Mrs. r. A. sprague. food inspector
has, together with the Commercial
club outlined a systematic campaign
for the two days. and it is expected
that the survey will be made exceed
ingly thorough.
Surplus to Go Abroad.
AS soon as the survey has been
completed throughout the state, a de-
.cision will be made as to the location
of central supply stations where each
family can sell its surplus stock OF
wheat. wheat flour and sugar.
These commodities while being sold
to such stations will not return to the
dealers who originally sold them,
but will be shipped to the American
soldiers in France. BY adopting this
method people are said to feel they
make a personal contribution to the
food supplies of the army although
they are being paid current prices for
it.
At the present time there is said to
be no suspicion that boarding is prac-
.ticed to any noticeable extent in this
city and county. but it was pointed
out this afternoon that a number of
people-farmers especially-had pur-
chased years supply as early as last
September. that is, before the present
regulations had been formulated and
become effective. These people are
not classd as hoarders, but will be
asked. nevertheless to surrender their
surplus supplies for shipment to
Europe.
The. survey Of next week will be
applied to private homes only, not to
iSt0reR.

Fall, Sponsor of Change,
Expects Senate to Accede
to Bakers Request
Reed Would Call
Bachelors 80 to 40
Quit Day Dreaming" He
Says; Warns Against
Overconfdence

WASHINGTON, June 27.--Debate on
the Fall amendment to the $4,000, ,000,-
600 army appropriation bill, providing
for extension of the draft ages to
twenty and forty years. was resumed
in the Senate to-day. But considera
ton of the measure was so delayed by
The fight on the suffrage amendment
resolution that vote was not reached.
Leaders tonight hoped to dispose of
the amendment and possibly pass the
bill tomorrow.
At the conclusion of the brief dis
cussion to-day Senator Fall said he
expected that his effort to extend the
draft ages would be futile and the gen.
cral opinion of Senators seemed to be
that the amendment would be rejected.
Senator's Reed, OF Missouri, Demo-
cratic member of the Senate Military
COMMITTEES; Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
and Cummins, of Iowa, in urging upon
the Senate the necessity for immediate
extension of the draft ages, challenged
the opinion of Secretary Baker and
General March, Chief of Staff, that
lne le2lSldtlOH Is HUC Heeutu at III 10
time. The Missouri Senator, however,
said he would bow to the decision of
the War Department officials.
Says U. S. Lacks Heavy Guns
Senator Reed declared that although
Germany eventually will be defeated, it
will be accomplished only after the
Allies have suffered tremendous losses.
He said the Central Powers hold the
advantage in heavy guns on. every
front
Senator Reed asserted that America
has no heavy guns except those that
have been taken from the, supply Of
the Navy Department and that 1t will
require nearly two years to get sufti-
cient supply.
The United States will have to. cx-
tend the draft age limits, he declared.
The Central Powers, he said, have a
greater population than the Entente
countries and were better prepared Tor
war Italy, he said, was "totally un-
prepared in arms and material when
she entered the war; and added that
the break in its lines last fall cannot
be disregarded, for both French and
British divisions are still kept on the
italian front.
ireland has failed to do its duty in
this war," he asserted. in support of
his claim that the complete man power
of the Allies could not be mustered
against the Germans.
Senator Reed said he was opposed to
preparing for the prosecution of this
war in "a piecemeal fashion," and
warned against overconfidence.
Would End Day Dreaming
Let US not deceive ourselves" he
declared, "that Germany up to this
day has been triumphant in this war.
1t is time to quite day dreaming. Ger

Russia, Senator Reed said, collapsed
overnight, and he urged that an army
of sufficient size be sent to Europe
with as little delay as possible. so that.
If a similar collapse should happen to
any Of the other nations fighting Ger
many it would be able to defend itself.
