BEEF CAN Be
USED ATWlLL
Restrictions on it's Use Re
moved, Says Official
Order.

Restrictions on THE use Of beef in
North Dakota have been removed,
according to word received today
from Food Administrator Ladd.
Large quantities of light beef are
now moving toward the markets, 1t
is said, n this is responsible for the
removal OF restrictions.
Following is a. copy of DR.. Ladd's
order: r.. ,-~
.All restrictions on the use of beef
in North Dakota are hereby re-
moved. Instructions have come from
Washington to this effect.
Public eating houses will be al
lowed to serve beef until further no
tice at any and all meals without re-
strict:on.
Butchers are notified hat the
public is allowed to buy beef accord
ing to their requirements.
Owing to drought in the southern
states, large quantities of light beef
are now coming on the market and
this has relieved the beef shortage
situation and allowed the removal of
the restrictions on the use of beef
Immediately instead of September l
as contemplated when the. order was
put into effect.
The public is asked to use light
beef in preference to heavy beef
wherever possible because there IS an
over supply of light beef animals in
proportion to the heavy beef animals
and the latter are needed for ship
ping abroad"

.rHIS.STAR
BY Adolphe Fl. Smylic of The
vigilantes.

SlS1I1nCeS.
We laughed when little Bill. Said,
Dad,
I'm going to the war;"
But that's his star a-waving
On the flag outside our door.
1t didn't seem conceivable
That such a puny lad
Could get into the Army
But it, shows the spunk he had.
Yes. Bill was a persistent,
Bull-headed little cuss
Though when the doctors turned him
down
He didn't make a fuss, .
Just said, me for the country, Dad,
III come back fine as silk;
III eat my weight in potcheese
And I'll swim in cream and milk
That night he came and told me
Just before he went to bed,
AS near as he remembered,
What the Army doctors said:
They listened through a stethoscope
To get some inside news,
And something in my heart told me
y That l was going to lose.
They didn't mention leprosy,
I'm glad I haven't that
But I've got everything else, Dad,
To put me on the mat. =
I'm underweigfft and understood;
1Ney say L nave nat feet: |
I'm short a few b%icuspids
Used for %f1echerizing meat.
My right lung is at good as new,
The other ones wreck
But though the left one is not right
The rights ones left, by Heck!
Then. infantile paralysis
They say I've barely missed.
But spinal meningitis may
Soon put me on the list.
My optic nerves do not project
Clear pictures to my brain;
My pericardium shows that
I'm suffering from ptomaine.
Then somewhere in my system
There's a floating kidney loose
n there's too much saly-something
In my pancreatic juice
They limited at, sarcoma
OF the epithelium:
don't know what it is, but you'll
Admit that's going some!
My respiration is too short;
My tonsils are too long;
My yhole metabolism is .
Absodamlutely wrong.
But why should a corpse worry?
1 don't care now, what they said
Their autopsy distinctly shows
I've. been a long time dead!"
Bill left next day for the old farm
Owned by his ,doting aunts.-
We haven't seen him since, although
He wrote to US from France.
We laughed when little Bill said,
Dad, :.
I'm going to the war;"
But that's his star a-waving
On>the flag outside our door.
Yes. Bill was a persistent,
Bull-headed little cuss.--,
He writes he's now chief deck-hand
On an eight-ton Army bus.

ROVE MAY FALL o O

London, Aug. 49,. 4:37 Dispatch
(By the Associated Press).-In the
opinion of experts here the evacuation
of Roye may be expected within a day
or two, for the town is now under a
cross fire: The abandonment Of Roye
by the Germans would also make
Cleanliness difficult to hold. Thus re-
cent history on the Marne is counted
upon to repeat itself on this new
front .E n,
In the region of Des Loges, south Of
Roye. the French this afternoon are
consolidating their line. They hold
the town but have not yet regained
the woods beyond. It appears that
the woods must yield. however, for
the French hold all the high ground
here overlooking the Geasnans in Roye
from the south and commanding the
great criss-cross of roads leading out
of that town.

TRYING HARD TO
enter SERVICE
OF HIS COUNTRY

Boston, March 16-If any Ameri-
can is trying harder than Almon
Dingman of Barton, VT. to help his
country by getting into war service,
national headquarters of the United
States Shipping Board Recruiting
Service at the Boston Custom House
has not heard of him.
Dingman applied here for enroll
men on a shipping board training
ship, to be drilled as a fireman for the
new American merchant marine. In
his earnestness to be ready for the
transatlantic service as soon as pos
sib1e. he had sold his IA head Of
cattle and 400 chickens at Barton,
and left 1000 sugar maple trees ''to
take care of themselves" he said.
Dingman was greatly disappointed
when shipping board physicians were
unable to accept him as a merchant
marine apprentice, owing to a slight
affection of the muscles of one arm.
"Well," he remarked, I've got one
more chance left I've tried to get
into the navy, the artillery and the
merchant marine. Perhaps they'll
take me in the army. If they don't
I'll go back to farming and do the
best can there"

TOLD BY PICHON

Amsterdam, March 16-In an in

the statement made recently by Ste
phen Pichon, French foreign minis
ter. respecting Germanys attitude
toward France at the time of the out.
break OF the war.
On. Pichon said that on July 81,
1914 DIR Won Bethmann-H ollweg,
then German chancellor. instructed
Baron Won Schoen, then German am
bassador in Paris, to demand that
France, If she desired to remain neu-
trail in the war between Russia and
Germany, should hand over to Ger
many, as a guarantee of neutrality,
the fortresses of Toul and Verdun, to
be occupied until after the war;
DIR. Won Bethmann-HoIlWeg says:
''The Russian general mobilization
furnished indisputable proof that
those factors which welded power in
Russia over the head of the emperor
desired war in all circumstances. My
instructions to Baron Won Schoen on
July 81, 1914, have been brought to
light. But what have these instruc-
tons to do with Russian mobilization
and the attitude of France?
mo one could seriously doubt that
we had not only to- fight against the
Russian mobilization, but also to fight
France"
