JOE EINZTNGER DOING
HIS BEST IN BELGIUM


< e. w. Rinehart is in receipt of the
following letter, written by Joe Einz-
niger Of this city, somewhere in Bel
GUM" under date OF Nov. 6:
Dear Mr. Rinehart.-I have BEEN
thinking OF you to-day, so will write
you few lines to let you know that
! am still alive and enjoying the best
OF health. Well, here we are in Bel
GUM, and at the rate our boys are
going we might be able to eat Christ.
mas dinner in BerlinS Say, wouldn't
Chat be great? We-aFe as busy as ev-
or and doing all we can am now
driving Pierce-Arrow truck. i've
been at the front several times, and
Mr.. Fritz would come over and drop
some OF his souvenirs and then open
machine gun fire on US and we would
have to beat 1t for a dug out. Some
times we would keep right on going
and take chance on getting thru
all right.
We have lived in barns and shacks
of all kinds, but most of the time we
have lived in our trucks. For time
we were in the midst OF trenches, dug
outs, shell holes and barbed wire en-
tanglements, and rats and mice by
the millions. When the boys run short
of reading matter they read" their
underwear for the largest cootie. We
washed our faces in shell hole water,
but the cooking and drinking water
was brought in on trains.
Now we are out of that awful place
and In city OF about 10000 inhabi-
tants. The Belgians are now moving
back to their homes, which they left
some time ago. On my travels on the
road / see them pulling large two
wheeled carts loaded with household
goods and generally some of the chill
dren riding on top the load, while
father ana mother do the pulling. It
is nothing out of the ordinary TO see
a COW or a horse hitched together.
One day saw five men pulling a pillow
and one man holding 1t. They are
very much IN need of horses.
hawH seen quite a bit of France
but didn't get to Paris. and that ls
one place would liked 10 have SEEN
Well, don't wish to tire you, so will
say goodbye. wishing you a Merry
Christmas and Prosperous New Year.

CONSERVATION T
THE A

Fargo, N. D.,-About thirty
Of the County Administrators of
North Dakota gathered in Far
go, Saturday, November End,
for a conference with Federal
Food Administrator Ladd and
the members of his staff, and to
listen to the new food program
as outlined by Mr.. John Halo
we'll, first Assistant to Herbert
Hoover and Mr.. r. w. Boyden,
head Of the Enforcement Divi-
sion Of the United States Food
Administration, both of Wash
ington.
That there can be no relaxa-
ton in food conservation with
the coming of peace was the
most important message laid be-
fore the conference by Mr.. Halo
well. He said:
Even if peace should come at
an early hour, it would not add
one pound of food to our supply.
On the contrary, it would enor-
mously increase our food obliga-
lions because it would allow us
to reach with food the people of
Poland, Roumania, Serbia, Ar
menia, European Russian and
others who are now without ade-
quate food supply. The total
number of these peoples has been
estimated at 80,0O0,O 600, some
of whom have partial food re-
sources and some of whom are
now literally in a starving con-
dition."
While the end of the war
would bring release of large stor-
es of food in the southern hem
isphere principally Australia and
India, these added stores Of food
would not be sufficient to restore
the starving people of central
and eastern Europe to health
and strength in the opinion of
Mr.. Hallowell. The 100, 900
people to whom Mr.. Hallowell
referred would be in addition to
the 120, 0O0,O 900 in the allied ma
tons who are now and will for
some time to come, depend up
on the United States for a large
share Of their food supplies.
Interesting discussions of
food problems as they affect
North Dakota, featured the af-
ternoon session of the meeting.

SUGAR RATION INCREASED.

Fargo, N. D.. In accordance
with it's promise to relieve the
sugar allowance situation thru
out the country at the earliest
possible opportunity. the United
States Food Administration has
beginning Nov. 1, increased the
monthly household allowance
from two to three pounds per
person.
"The rapid manufacture Of
the new-crop of beet sugar in
the west and the new crop of
Louisiana cane sugar in the
south, together with freer rail-
way transportation, reduction
of consumption Of sugar for
manufacturing and the patriotic
conservation of the public for
the past four months en-
ables the Food Administration
to make this change" said Fed
eral Food Administrator Ladd,
in announcing the new sugar
ration.

CHAPLINS FUND.

Chaplin Herbert G. Markley
of the 10th Engineers, Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces in
France, formerly the Second
Of the North Dakota
National Guard, has sent an ap-
peal for five thousand dollars
($5OO0.OO) to replenish the
Chaplain's fund for this regi-
ment.
Writing Governor Lynn J.
Frazier regarding the Chap
lain's' Fund Lieut.. Markley says:
II am mighty glad to say that
the Chaplin's Fund is about all
gone, and I urge you strongly to
send at once at least $5OOO.OO
to replenish this fund. I am sure
that when you put it up to the
people that they will respond in
a wonderful way. The fund has
been used the last few months
especially for those boys who
have been at the front and lost
everything that they had, and
have been wounded, laying in
the hospital for weeks. These
boys come to us before return
ing to the front and I want to
say that if the good people of
our state knew how much good
this fund has done they would
send far more than the amount
l am asking for.
The North Dakota Council of
Defense therefore calls upon the
County Chairman of the North
Dakota Council Of Defense to
conduct a voluntary drive to
raise the sum asked for by
Chaplain Markley. "Subscrip-
lions in the County will be re-
ceived by the County Chairman
of the Council of Defense and
forwarded to Bismarck to Gov
ernor Lynn J. Frazier, Chairman
Of the State Council. We do not
recommend at this time that an
organized drive be made, but we
suggest that the substance of
this appeal be given publicity in
every paper in your County with
the request that subscriptions
be mailed into either Governor
Frazier at Bismarck or yourself
as County Chairman of the
County Council. Neither are we
assigning County quotas at this
but if results are not OBJ
tanned through the voluntary
Fdrive, quotas will be assigned
with the request that the Coun-
ty Chairman raise their appor-
tionate amounts
"The substance of this letter
is highly important, and should
be complied with, without delay.
Yours very truly,
F. w. Cathro, Chairman Bottin-
eau County Council of Defense.

of the bazaar were four booths
each representing a season Of

The autumn booth contained
a display of fruits, vegetables

Five emergency hospitals
have been established in the
county where influenza and
pneumonia cases are taken.
These hospitals are furnished
with trained nurses and assist
ants, most of the nurses coming
from the local hospitals. Doctors
Of the community have agreed
to call on the patients regularly.
According to the splendid
way in which the hospitals and
doctors are cooperating with
the Red Cross, it is believed that
other emergency hospitals can
be erected instantly if the need
arises. Also, the Red Cross or
CARNATIONS at different towns
have secured sufficient bedding
and other necessary materials
for the conduction of these tenn
porary sanitariums.
The hospitals already estab-
lished are located at Aberdeen,

contracted pneumonia, in Fargo,
where he died.
This afternoon the city people
gathered on Main street to help
celebrate the end of the Euro
pean war and much enthusiasm
was manifested. A parade about
the city was held, led by a three
or four piece band and automo-

Later, in fact just as we go to
press the report that the war has
ended has been denied by the As
ISOLATED Press but opinion is
that t .-i4e report is not true at
this time it is but a matter of
hours until hostilities will cease.

CUT CASTE REGULATIONS
In Japan, Food Riots May Cause a
Change in System in Vogue.

Toxic, Oct. 5-.Japanese reformers,
stirred by the recent food riots In
which the ''eta" or outcast class of
society took a prominent part, are adj
yocating the abolition of the caste
regulations which hedge about thesA
people on the ground that the restric-
lions are distinctly out of consonance
with the spirit of modern Japan.
The "eta" might be compared to the
pariahs of India. They number more
than 100000 and are said to be the
descendants of Korean captives
brought to japan during the wars Of
the sixteenth century. Others trace
their origin to the Introduction OF
century when the taking of animal life
was looked upon by those of the new
faith with adherence > and disdain.
From the earliest days the eta" have
been slaughterers of cattle and other
| livestock. and today the majority Of
! these people obtain their livelihood as
| butchers and tanners.
Legally the ''eta' have the same
| rights as other japanese but socially
| they are outcasts. Forbidden to
mingle with high-class japanese or to
| marry outside their own caste, the
| workers and their families live to-
| gether in towns and villages in west
| ern and southern Japan. Included in
! their number are many radicals who
see in the growing spirit of democracy
! dH oPPoI luIiity u emu Ao&eVer loI
| themselves and children the social
ostracism to which for centuries their
forbears have been subject.
The rice disturbances gave the 'eta"
| the opportunity to show their disap-
| proval of existing conditions. Many of
| their women in the city of Osaka led
attacks upon food dealers and prop
| erty. With the settlement of the
| trouble japanese editors and publists
| suggest the "eta" should be brought
| out of their settlements and encour-
| aged to live and associate with their
/ so-called betters as part of the plan
to more thoroly democratize Japan.
