of the recent history of France, was d.
fragment OF the cathedral bell from
l.Farincourt. The enemy had scraped
the metal to be melted for use in
making munitions but in his hurried
exit had left 1t with much more. A
section Of the bell with a bit OF delft
cate tracery and portion of the
clapper were as eloquent of the fate
of many of Frances cat1edrals as
many words could be.
American Guns.
There were shown Browning gun,
which is used in the United States
army, the Colt gun, which is the one
chosen by the navy and beside it a
pair Of the asbestos gloves necessary
for wear in firing it because it be-
comes so hot; there were French
grenades and German grenades,
French helmets and German helmet
and breastplates that are medieval, in
their suggestion Of armor and there
was a small mass of metal, melted by
the enemy ready to be sent back to
Germany and many other relics Of
great interest. The cars were lined
on each side with photographs
worthy Of deep study. The hurried
march through the car, which was
y
time allotted to Fargo, made a real
view of the exhibit an impossibility.
The train arrived in the city this
morning at 3 o'clock and the exhibit
was open to the public at O'Clock
and those who attended between that
hour and 8 o'clock had the best op-
portunity to view the collection.
The tour is being made in the in
terests Of the Fourth Liberty loan
and the exhibit has been assembled
and is being sent on its tour by the
Ninth district central committee. Of
the Liberty loan. The train first ex-
hibited at St Cloud Friday, septem
Der 13 and will continue its trip
through Minnesota and North Dakota
until September %. It is in charge
of F. H. Nutter, Jr., and is accom-
panied by a marine band Of 80 pieces
and by soldiers, veterans of the war,
who speak at the various towns.
This morning an overflow, meeting
was held with the platform OF the
freight shed used as a. speakers' plat
form and Colonel Thomas D. Hughes
presided, presenting Trooper r0'Con-

NORTH DAKOTA
REGIMENT BAND
SECOND ONLY TO
.PERSHING'S Band
Corp. Fl. Claude kiff, Far
go, Enjoys Leave at
AK Les Bains

The First North Dakota Regiment
band of Lisbon. now in service in
France, is now known as the Head
quarters Of Army Schools band,
next in line to General Pershing's
own band, according to a letter re-
ceived today by Mrs. II. w. Kiff,
206h Broadway, from her son, Corp.
H. Claude Kiff, who plays a solo
clarinet with the organization.
Corporal Kiff, at the date Of his
letter, was on leave at Ais Les Batns,
the world famous resort Of southern
France which has been turned into
a rest camp for the Americans, and
writes of the camp as follows:
Am at last at the vacation city,
or AK Les Bains, the noted sum-
mer resort. We all hired bicycles for
a week which cost us 25 francs. The
first day we went up into The noun
tains on a cog railway to the sum-
NIT of Mt. Rivard, which Is little
over 5000 feet high, and Of all the
beautiful scenery! 1t was rather
cloudy so could not see Mt. Blanc
through the big telescope as plain
~ as we wished we could.
We coasted down the mountain
for 25 miles, and / sure took a tum-
BILE about half way down.
Visits An Old Abbey.
The next day we visited an old
abbey which was built hundreds Of
years ago, and is situated on a lake,
the waters of which are as clear as
crystal. Tall, rugged mountains sur
round it on three sides Of the lake.
The next day we went up Cato
Tooth mountain, and had to go
through Hannibars pass to get
there. (You remember this is the
pass through which Hannibal
brought his army and 40 war ele-
plants from Italy into GauD. Cato
Tooth looks like a little park which
would hardly hold one person, but
when we got there, I found that so
people could easily stand on the top.
We could see the Italian and Swiss
Alps, all covered with snow.
The next day we took trip
similar to the first day, up a noun
tain. At the top lived an old Scotch
woman, her home being built on the
very edge Of the cliff which is sew
eral thousand feet high. Such
dinner as she served us, Johnny
cake, chicken, and vegetables Of all
kinds, and all that we could eat.
I'm the evening we took in a,
grand opera, and though 1t was in
French, they. NJ. c. A. guide, who
took us out on all the trips, explain

ReLieUe Him From

At a hearing Tuesday before
Judge A. T. Cole in the district
court, John Kittleson, a resident of
Cass county, sought to nave set
aside the order Of the court made
last spring, whereby he is compelled
to support his adult son, Sidney
Kittleson. .-,.
The courts order for the support
Of the son was made because of his

living around with other relatives,
and asks to be relieved from the
burden of his support.
Judge Cole has ordered a transcript
of all evidence in the case to be sub
mitted to the states attorney Of
Cass county, to ascertain If there
should not be prosecution 0f one or
