Total Number Of Men May
Not Go Above Three
Thousand.
$50 TRANSMITS GET
THEIR CARDS HERE
Present Total is 2,s5s-13
Precincts Still to be
Heard From.

According to returns received at the
local war Office from all but 13 pre-
,cincts Of Grand Forks county, 1855
men registered yesterday for military
service in the city. and county. 1t is
not expected hat the figures coming
in from precincts yet to report, will
bring the total very far above 5000.
An unusual feature of the registra-
ton here vas the comparatively
large number Of transients who re-
ceived their cards direct from the war
Office in advance Of registration day
proper. This number is given as 556
and includes, of'course, many farm
.labcrers who have come here to help
the county farmers with their harvest
ing and threshing. According to the
regulations of the war department,
register at h Office of the board near
est to their temporary place Of resi-
dence.
Estimate Was 1900.
Some days ago it was announced
that the estimated number of regis
trants would be approximately 4,600.
This was arrived at on the basis Of
one and one-half per cen Of the 1917
registration, as authorized by the
Washington authorities. 1t appears
that the basis for these calculations

Forks county, and one factor which
may be in a large measure responsible
for this is that a very large number
of men within the age limits men,
toned in the latest registration rules,
have voluntarily enlisted in the mill
,tary or naval service Of the country.
There are numerous other reasons ac-
counting for the. discrepancy between
the estimate and the actual figures.

registration yesterday will not amount
TO much more than hat Of 1917, when
2,7sS registered. Last year ten-year
classes were included in the registra-
ton, and this yea seventeen age
classes are comprised in the man
power mobilization.

FOURTH LOAN
CAMPAIGN IS
PROGRESSING
Nearly all Preliminary work
Has Been Done in City
and County.
Campaign Train With War
Souvenirs to Visit Grand
Forks Soon.

H-y -. "A .-rr.H. E
While the of1cial opening of the
fourth Liberty loan campaign has
been set for September 20, it is un-
derstood that the drive already is
we'll under way in Grand Forks city
and county where organizations for
carrying Of the work have been per-
fected.
AS far as the city campaign is
concerned. The actual work will start
carefully elaborated, IN the county
committee which has been kept busy
for a long time, is preparing to have
everything in readiness for the official
opening date, September %. This
merely means that all the work
which has been done during the last
three weeks or SO will eliminate dur
ing the period from September % to
October 3-,the latter day marking
the close of the county campaign.
War Souvenirs on Wednesday.
One of the unusual and most sig
nificant features of the campaign
will be the visit here of a so-called
relic train, having aboard numerous
souvenirs Of the European battle
fields. O Of them having been cap
tured from the Germans. Tho exhi-
Ninth federal reserve district, will be
accompanied by a detachment of SOL
diers as we'll as by a naval band
from the Great Lakes training
station.
The train, will arrive here Wednes-
day afternoon at l o'clock and re-
main for three hours. In view of the
fact that an immense crowd is ex-
pected to throng the station, efforts
were made today to obtain an extern
sion of time for the trains remain
ing in Grand Forks, but the tele-
.groph brought swift reply to the eff
feet that three hours was all this city
could have. The problem vexing the
committee just now is, how to make
it possible for perhaps ten thousand
people to be escorted through the
cars and to see the various exhibits
within three hours. More than three
thousand an hour may have to be
taken through the train, but it is ex-
pected that some arrangements can
be made by which it will be possible
to'accommodate everyone who comes.
Speaks al Valley City.
The North Dakota campaign for
the fourth Liberty Loan will open at
Valley City ext Sunday afternoon,
according to a statement made by
Wesley c. Mcdowell, chairman of the
state loan committee
Attorney Tracy R. Bangs of Grand
Forks will be the principal speaker
of the occasion, and it is expected
that Liberty Loan workers from the
central and southern part of North
Dakota will attend. Mr.. Mcdowell
has promised to appear for the pur-
pose of outlining the plans which
have been adopted by the state COM
rnittee.

rescued Cuba from Spanish tyranny. The Maine went down with the Amer ican flag--the symbol of liberty had been taken down for the night and for fourteen years it lay neatly folded in chest beneath the waters of the Havana harbor. When the Maine was raised in 1911 and the flag brought to the surface it's stripes were as red and it's stars as white as when it was lowered at sunset on that fatal February night of 1898. Cuba was free and independent and loyal to the United States, as is shown by her re- cent break with Mexico on account Of pro-GerHlan propaganda. So again the benign influences of what our flag means are shown in the position which the little Island Republic has taken against Kaiserism.
 Its Place In The Present War
 Time and again our flag has helped the down trodden of other nations and today the emblem of our country is in the thick of the fight against |autocracy. When our country entered the war both England and France be- gan to do honor to our flag.
 At St. Paul's Cathedral, London, the first American troops that came to England were invited to bring their flag to service, where it was blessed in the great English shrine, and is to be preserved for all time together with those of our Allies whose National em b. ems, like those of our own. are waving over the hosts fighting for
 world liberty. The King and Queen attended and. the Cathedral was packed. England received our com ing into the war with great joy. The Lord Mayor ordered that British and American flags be displayed side by side on the front of the Mansion House where they still wave. The Lord Mayor declared that for cen tury past the American flag had stood for freedom and that American flags
 be displayed throughout the city. Our troops were welcomed everywhere
 When the men were on the march
 they were usually followed by huge
 automo obile trucks filled with girls bearing the words Welcome to ou, Allies" Numbers of American sol
 diers were received by the King and Queen. Everywhere in England the
