Astronomers Study.
Throughout the United States
trained observers gazed at the phe-
nomena. making calculations, taking
photographs, and adding to the treas
I ured facts OF science the deductions
! from this unusual occurrence.
Moving pictures were taken OF the
phenomenon by experts OF the Naval
. Observatory. in special station
erected at Baker, Ore.
| In a telegram to Prof A. Hall, ct
the observatory last night they eX-
planned that the photographs taken
were believed to be excellent although
, the sky was a little hazy.
In Washington those on the alert
for the strange sight first detected
signs OF the eclipse at 6:33 o'clock.
The last faint trace OF the shadow OF
the moon on the suns face was seen
at S:21 o'clock,
The eclipse was caused by the moon
coming between the sun and the earth
as the moon travelled in its course
around the earth. The moon threw

Course OF Shadow.
The shadow first struck the United
States at Aberdeen, Wash, and then
Travelled diagonally south and east to
Florida At Orlando, Fla, the last
place the shadow touched in this
country, the toality OF the eclipse
lasted about forty-five seconds.
TIL width of the shadow, according
to telegraphic reports received by the
Naval Observatory here, was sixty
six miles when It entered the United
States. This gradually tapered down
until at Orlando it was only forty
miles wide.
The first appearance OF the eclipse
was at sunrise yesterday morning
on the BeTodino Islands which are
south OF Japan. The great shadow
swept across the Pacific ocean and
touched the United States at few
minutes before 3 o'clock.
Points of study.
The things the astronomers studied
in connection with the eclipse were:
First. the corona, which consists of a
display of the luminous streamers
around the hidden sun. From this
they sought to learn the electro
the earth: second. the electric state
and change in the air and changes
that may have taken place in the
magnetism of the earth.
a third point observed by the aStrono-
mers was whether there exists a planet
nearer the sun than Mercury, which is
the nearest one previously known
The world Of science will eagerly await
the verdict OF the experts who witnessed
the phenomenon yesterday as to whether
the eclipse threw some light on the com
position the suns corona. which, during
the period OF tOtality, glOwed with
Rreenish hue. Scientists want to know
what made it green, and from the de-
auctions made yesterday the astrOnO-
mers will try 90 answer this question.
Next In 1919.
Prof T. T. Lewis, Of the Univcr-
sity OF California, has stated he be-
lieves the corona IS made up OF I'M
known elements. Upon this the
observers concentrated attention.
The next eclipse of the sun will
occur November -. 1919. but It will
be partial only. and IL is highly
probable Washingtonians will not be
able 10 see IL.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE. June s.-The marines
and other American units continue
TO block the Germans northwest Of
Chateau Thierry by driving forward
themselves. The Americans have
completely stopped three successive
enemy counter attacks.
These soldiers led their right wing
against the southern part of Belleau
Wood. where the Boches had retained
a foothold about a. m. yesterday.
Artillery fire, which had been inces-
SAINT all night reached q crescendO
just at this time.
Although full reports OF this opera
ton has not been received at the
hour Of cabling, it is believed to have
been a success, as a number OF pfis-
Oners have been sent back to the
American lines. There are also indi-
cations that the Americans have
eliminated the enemy north Of the
sunken road between Belleau and
TOrcy, a front of about a mile.
Gain Half KIIometeF.
To the right OF Torcy an American
attack Friday night gained half a
kilometer (abOut one-third of a mfle).
All the ground was held. The Ger
mans had dug themselves in at this
point, but the shallow trenches did
them little good. The ground in the
vicinity was covered with German
dead. There were also many new
graves marked with German helmets
The Huns made their first counter
attack at 1890. Their infantry was
supported by a barrage of shrapnel
and machine gun bullets and a bonn
bardment Of gas shells. They also
employed a new weapon-clouds of
poisonous smoke. These differed from
the usual gas clouds. in that they
came in thick black waves.
The marines donned their gas masks
and stopped the Germans with artil-
lery and rifle fire, 400 yards from the
American trenches.
The only effect which could be OBJ
served from the new poisonous smoke
was a nausea, though the enemy mix
ed gas shells with the smoke to neces-
state the use OF gas masks.
While this attack was going on.
the Boches attacked an adjoining
American unit They suffered a com
plete repulse. American losses were
inconsequential.

FRAZIER PROCLAIMS
BABY BOND WEEK

To the people of North Dakota:
Whereas, the president of
the United States has by pro-
clamation again called upon the
people to save for the benefit of
their country, thru economy in the
purchase of food, fuel and mater
ials needed by the government,
and to complete the service by
investing those savings in War
Savings Stamps, and
Whereas, the president en-
phasizes the fact that the great
results we seek can be- obtained
only by the participation of every
member Of the nation, young and
old, in concerted thrift move
ment, and that savings fall short
of the full ideal Of patriotic serv-
ice unless loaned to the govern
ment for war purposes, and
Whereas, the War Savings COM
mittee Of the state Of North Da-
kota, pursuant to the urgent re-
quirements of the treasury Of the
United States, has prepared to
take pledges for the purchase Of
War Savings certificates by the
people of this state during the
week of June %, the same to be
registered on or before National
War Savings Day, June 2e.
Now, therefore, I, Lynn J. Fraz-
zier, governor Of the state of
North Dakota, do hereby set
aside June %, between the hours
of noon and 10 p. m. as time
when all citizens are urged to ap-
pear in person, or by proxy thru
a previously signed War Savings
pledge card, at the nearest school
house or other designated place of
registration to register pledges to
save and economize to help win
the war and as a minimum full
fillment of such pledges to invest
in a specified amount Of War
Savings certificates during the
remaining months of 1918.

HOLD YOUR BONDS.

Secretary McAdoo has telegraphed
A. R. Rogers, Ninth District Director
of the Third Liberty Loan, to make
appeal that Liberty Loan bonds be
not traded for merchandise or for the
securities of private corporations. 'S
1t has come to the attention Of the
secretary Of the treasury, so he ad-
vises Mr.. Rogers, that in a number Of
instances the good, sound, government
bonds have been traded for some very
doubtful securities.
"But aside from warning people not
to trade their government bonds for
securities of no or doubtful value i
wish to appeal to bond holders in gen.
eral not to trade their bonds for any,
thing, either for good securities or for
merchandise, says Mr.. McAdoo." "To'
do so would be to defeat in a consid-
cradle measure the purpose Of the
liberty loans.
II am informed that many merchants
have advertised that they would take
liberty bonds of any of the three is
sues in exchange for merchandise. I
do not think that these merchants
have intended to interfere with the
purpose Of the liberty loan in any
way.
"But we have sought to have these
bonds purchased for permanent in
vestment out Of past or future saw
ings, such savings thereby effecting
conservation of b6th labor and mater
ials. To exchange these bonds for
merchandise or services is to thwart
the conservation feature of the Liber-
ty Loan campaigns.
"The inadvisability of exchanging
government bonds for doubtful secur-
tiles needs no argument. But they
should not be exchanged for securities
Of any kind. Practically all the SUBJ
stantial and,4 representative invest
ment houses have unselfshly aided in
the Liberty Loan campaigns and it is
inconceivable that after the magnifi-
cent work Of distributing government
bonds any effort should be made to
substitute other securities"
