WHO ARE THE CzECHS?"
LANGDON man TELLS WHO

Who are the Czechs? This ques-
tion is being asked recently owing to
the part they are playing IN the Rus.
sian theatre of the world war. The
Czechs in this country are known as
Bohemians. Bohemia, which now is
the northwest corner of Austria, de-
rives its name from Celtic race
called the Boil, who occupied that
country in the second century B. C.
About $50, A. D, the Czechs, co ming
from thier lands in Carpathia on the
upper Vistu]a, took possession of
Bohemia. which later became one of
the Kingdoms Of Europe. Their i'm.
portance as a European nation began
to deteriorate thru religious strife,
causing internecine wars, commenc.
ing with theHussite war which start.
ed in 1920 A. D. land lasted sixteen
years. The cause of the war was the
execution of John Huss, a Czechian
Catholic priest, because he attacked
and upbraided the clergy of his tims
for their corrupt practices. John Huss
was burned at the stake in 1415, A
D. at the Council of Constance with
his writings and the ashes thrown
into the river Rhine, a full hundred
years before Martin Luther's time.
The Czechs lost their solidarity as a
nation and disintegrated as European
power, through religious jealou sizes
which exist to this day.

ALSEN DRAFTED MAN TELLS
STORY iOF HIS TRENCH LIFE

Henry H. Fast, writing to M. j.
Wipf, of Alsen, states that the rats
are the worst thing about the
trenches in France. He says the
big shells are dangerous, but they
have learned to duck them pretty
we'll. The following paragraph quoted
from his letter gives an interesting
view of trench life; "About the
worst thing we have to contend with
is rats. They can be seen in droves.
1 counted sixteen one night running
over my feet in string. One of our
men got bit on the head one night
and the next morning he had lump
on his head the size of an egg. The
worst of it is we can't do anything
to them for if we strike at them with
our bayonets or throw rocks the
Boche might hear US and help kill
some with their big shells, 30 we let
them wander to their hearts con-
tent" He writes also that he has
only been sick day and that he
thinks France is beautiful country
but not as good az the u. S. A

Front in France

Friday of last week brought the

siding near Iona, that his son. Mar

on the battle field in France, the mes
sage stating that he had died July g.
This makes the second drafted man
from our county who has died in &C.
tion and adds one more to the six,
golden stars that already adorn the

ing the number of our boys who So
far during the war have made the
supreme sacrifice.
Private Martin j. Dahl was the
elder of two sons of the family Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Dahl, of Iona.
who left with the draft in September
of last year for Camp Dodge, Iowa.
and it is understood had been in
France nearly four months when he
received the wound that ended in his
death, now nearly two months ago.
The list of drafted men called to-
leave the county at that time had not.
originally contained the name of Mar
tin Dahl, but his name had been add
ed to the list by special permission of
| the governor, when he had requested
permission to go along with his
younger bro ther, whose draft number
had Ibeen drawn. The matter had
gone up to the governor through the
local draft board, Auditor Eide hav-

NORTH DAL0TA HAS $4,000
MEN IN MILITARY SERVICE

President Wilson on SATURDAY.
signed the power bill, and the
registration day has been set for
September 18th. County Auditor
Ole j. Eide said that Instructions had
been received and that registration
will take place in every township in
the county, as in the registration of
the men on June 5, 1917. Offices
will be open from II in the morning
until 9 at night, and every man
between the ages of 18 and IS must
register.
1t is expected that about 13, 900, 900
men will register under this act, but
no estimates have been made as to
the number of men from the county
who will register, although the num-
ber will probably be much larger than
in 1917.
County Auditor Ole ]. Eide secre
tary of the local war hoard, on Mon.
day announced that many men were
calling from the various county dis
tricts, inquiring whether or not they
would be required to go to their homes,
if they lived in other counties, to re-
gister on Thursday of next week,
September 18th. He declares this
unnecessary, as they may register
with the township board where they
are at present located on the 18th of
September between the hours of Z a.
m. to 9 p. M, and have their cards
forwarded to their local board.

were leavingthat had quite an apt
relation to the occasion.
They left with hands waving to the
thousand or more of friends and dear
ones left behind-boys who all feel
will make brave soldiers in defense
of a country that is theirs. No small
share of the impressiveness of the
send.off that the boys were given is
due TO the services that were render
ed by the Langdon band. who have
so far never failed in doing their pat

on such occasions as this.
