"SQUAalNG II WITH
THE ROMAN GHOST"

Major Henry Of the First North
Dakota, sends the following story
from France as one Of the jokes 60
ing the rounds among the American
troops, but undoubtedly it is libel
on one branch of the Yank army
whose personnel has had to stand for
their food supplies.
There is a negro labor outfit in
the S. 0. S. engaged in quarry work
near base port. A few weeks ago,
in the course of opening up some new
ground, they discovered an old Roman
Burying ground, with many skele-
tons, coins and relics. The find made
quite an impression on the minds of
the finders and there were many spec
ulations as to whether the shades of
the departed DICTIONARIES still hover
around in the vicinity Of their last
resting place. The general opinion
was that a man ought to be on his
guard when out late at night.
"About that time the sum of sixty
francs disappeared from the counter
of a nearby Y. NJ. C. A. hut The
captain of this outfit doesn't know a
great deal about classroom psychol-
ogy, but he has learned lot about
it in the field. He called his outfit
together one night in the Y hut and
told them of the disappearance of
the money. Then he outlined the his
tory and characteristics of the old
Romans.
Boys he said, there was one
thing a Roman hated worse than any
thing else, and that was thief. IT
the ghosts of those old fellows who
were buried up there on the hill
should learn that somebody in this
outfit had sixty stolen francs in his
pocket, l don't know just what would
happen. Pm going to put my hat
here on the table and turn out the
lights The guilty man will know
what to do"
There was quite shuffling of feet
and milling around in the hut, and
then all was quiet. When the cap
tain turned on the lights again and
looked into the hat he found not only
the sixty francs, but three hundred
more, and few old centimes for good
measure.

FORMER MlNor BOY WOUNDED

In letter to his mother, Mrs. Ellen

letter follows:
Dear Mother:
Just note for now but will try to
write real letter as soon as l can
get some ink for my pen and I get
a little more handy with this one
hand. I've "went and gone and got
my left arm busted by shrapnel and
I'm in the hospital with lots of nice
people to run around and wait on me.
Am feeling fine except for an unholy
appetite and I've been changed from
light to heavy diet today so I think
I'll be jake in the future I don't
know how long I'll be here but I hope
it will be for quite some time. I'm

sure Sitting on the world" I've been
here for five days and they have q
most outlandish rig on my left arm
that keeps me from sitting up.
l don't expect I'll be fit for duty for
some time. I haven't had my mail
from home for quite while and
suppose it will be quite a while more
before it catches up with me, but
III have plenty of time to write from
now on for a while and I'll try to be
more regular than I've been.
Fred spent his boyhood days in Minot
where he attended the public schools
and his many old friends in this city
are glad to hear that he is not badly
injured.

BURDEN ON INDUSTRY
War Board Asks Employers to
Release Many Men.
Cooperation In Bringing Needed
Manpower to the Army Is
Appealed For.

Washington, Sept. Is. - Chairman
Baruch of the War Industries board
calls upon American industry to CO.
operate in bringing the needed man
power to the army by asking exemp-
ton for the lowest possible number
and only for indispensable key men,"
Mr.. Baruch issued this statement:
The first duty of the industrial
establishment is to bring about the
needed increment of the manpower in
the army. The second duty is to pro-
tect the industrial establishments
which are essential to supplying the
soldiers with the tools of war. The
War Industries board directs the at
tention of industrial America to the
fact that 1t has a highly important
part in making the operation of the
draft law successful. The first thing
to do is for each employer of labor to
thoroughly familiarize himself with
the details Of the law. The mex is
to make 1t a matter of honor to ask
for industrial exemption for the low
est possible number, and only for the
indispensable key men. BY observ'
ing these two points the duty to the
army and the duty to the army's sup
ply source will be discharged"

Germans Lose Years Gains.
During the eight weeks that have
passed the Allied troops have cleared
almost in its entirety the enemy-held
territory from the Marine to the Aisne
in the great triangle which had Cha
teau Thierry at it's apex and scissors
and Rheims, respectively, it's western

From scissors to Arras, the old
bulge westward to Montdidier and
toward the doorstep of Amiens has all
but been obliterated and the Allies
now are standing across a large por-

To the north in Flanders the deep
salients which threatened the English
channel ports have been bent eastward
and the enemy is expelled from the
vantage points from which he had ex-
pected ultimately to make his drive
in an endeavor to gain the ~seaboard
and thus cause a diversion of the
transport service from England to

American Troops Join Allies in
Campaign to Restore Or
der in Russia.
NUMBER IS UNKNOWN
Soldiers Are Presumed to Have Been
Sent From Camps in England,
Where They Have Been
Quietly Training.

Washington, Sept. 13. - General
March, chief of staff, announced that
American troops have landed at Arch
angel to assist the other Allied forces
there in their campaign to re-estab-
lish order in northern Russia.
For military reasons the number Of
soldiers landing was not revealed nor
was II made clear from whence they
had embarked. 1t was assumed, how
ever, that the soldiers had beer sem
from English camps, where Americans
are training.
General March's announcement was
made public through the Committee on
Public Information.
After the Allied forces landed on
the shores of the White sea several
months ago, there were reports that
American troops were cooperating
with them, but 1t subsequently de-
veloped that the forces were marines
from American warships. The troops,
the arrival OF which is now announced,
are the first from the United States
to be SEM into Northern Russia.
Germany has been impressing Firms
into its army in Finland in the hope
Of gathering together a sufficient force
to attack the Allies from across the

Many Yanks Speak Russian.
Archangel, Sept. II. American
troops have arrived safely at Arch

Most of these troops are from states
where the winters are like those of
Russia. Their voyage was quick and
