The union labor element In Fargo
had been given to understand that
there would be no question about the
appointment of their candidate, and
they went about the task Of pick
ing their candidate with that under
standing.
They Wanted Box.
However, some time later, the
league president and
his advisers decided that they
wanted one OF their own organizers
on the council of defense as secre-
tary, being opposed to the reappoint-
ment of F. o. HellstTom. who had
been secretary Of the de facto coun-
ell Of defense.
The league choice fell on Thomas
Allen Box Of Casselton, head of the
bank organization cam
paign, prominent as an incorporation
Of the leagues coal briquetting COM
pany, and who has been on the leagueI
payroll for many months.
With Mr.. Box's selection for the
post it became necessary to placate
the Fargo Trades and Labor as

upon Adolph Bowman, Moorhead,
generally recognized as the Nonpar-

STARTING
new MASSACRES
OF CHRISTIANS

Berne, Switzerland, Saturday,
March 16-Reports received here
from Is points in Asiatic Turkey by
William N. Chambers, representative
of the American committee for Ar
menian and Syrian relief, corroborate
recent advices respecting new massa-
cres on a large scale by the Turks.
From reliable sources I under
stand the situation in the districts be-
ing reoccupied by the Turks is terri
ble," said Mr.. Chambers. "On the
pretext that Armenian bands are at
work the Turks are carrying out gen.
eral and bloody reprisals. There is
serious apprehension that similar
atrocities are begun in the Caucasus" "
1.-The number of orphans for which
the American committee is caring is
growing steadily" sad Mr.. Chambers.
"All the resources of the people de-
ported by the Turks are exhausted,
and the gravity of the situation is in
creasing 1t is dollars or death, and
America cannot afford to hesitate in
this great humane effort to save the
remnant of the prosecuted Christians
in Turkey"

The -Caucas sian constituent as
sembly, meeting in Tif1is, has refused
to ratify the peace treaty with Ger
war on Germany.
The German explanation that they
are not fighting Russia when they as
sist independent Ukrainia to defeat
Bolshevik forces is hooted by the Rus
sian press general, which contends
that Germany's peace treaty with
Uikraiina is only 1imsy pretext to
dismeur1ber Russia.
Leon Trotzky has arrived in Mos
COW from Petrograd and announces
that he will remain here to assume
the duties of minister of war if there
is a war, but otherwise he will de-
cline the post. The commander OF
the Moscow defenses reviewed today
four regiments of volunteers who de-
clared unequivocaily for war. Many
experienced army officers now have
joined the Bolshevik general staff
which accepts them regardless Of
their policy.
| Reports from northern Russia say
the Corelia district, in which Kola
the only ice-free port on the Arctic
shore, is located, has asked FINLAND
TO annex it. This is regarded as par
of the German plan to help the Fin
nish government forces isolate Rus
sia from the Baltic and Arctic.
The evacuation of Petrograd con
tinues and the government bureau!
are transferred TO Moscow, Nizhn
Novgorod and Perm as rapidly as the
disabled railroads allow. The train:
are under heavy guard and have t.
force their way along railroad line!
crowded with soldiers returning from
the front and refugees fleeing before

ance of the brigade, and remarked:
These men have been there and
know what it is. You can tell that
by the way they throw out their chests
as they swing by
When the review was over &he
brigade disbanded into units and
marched back to the camps. Secre-
tary Baker, Gen. Pershing and his
taft and the other generals trudged
down the hill through the mud to the
waiting motor cars.
Secretary Bakers day was a full
one, as he covered several hundred
kilometers in his automobile. Early
in the morning he drove to the YER
dun region to a spot from which Fort
Douaumont was visible He saw the
activities behind the French lines and
a long artillery wagon train and
marching troops.
On the way the secretary stopped
wherever American troops were bill
leted, the organizations turning out
for inspection. The soldiers were
questioned regarding details of food,
billets and equipment and the secre-
tary often went into the billets to get
a personal impression.
The only complaint registered was
about a scant food ration, which was
found to be due to the temporary
change in the stations of the units
affected. Once the secretary's par
ty met a travelling kitchen The
secretary left his automobile and had
a taste of the soup and food. His
comment was: Every good"
During the day Secreary Baker vis-
tied the French divisional command
er, who complimented the American
troops, saying he had called the at
tention of his men to the expeditions
and snappy way the Americans unz
loaded and assembled their artillery.
On Thursday, finding himself in the
vicinity of a certain unit, che secre-
tary sent for a fellow Ohioan, Car
liscle Babcock, of Cleveland, a private
in the marine corps and a son of a
personal friend. After a brief talk
the two were photographed togeth-
er.
The visit to Domreny, the home Of
Jeanne dare, was the concluding in
cident of the day. Secretary Baker
and Gen. Pershing drove to the little
village They inspected the church
where the French heroine was bap-
tized and the humble cote where she
was born.
