Headquarters to issue instructions to

quantities might readily be used at

the refugees, the raw materials nee
ossary to their construction and the
transportation required for getting
them there, are not so easily come

that have brought about the new

AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE Is 1,250, 900

General March in his semi-weekly
; conference with newspaper cores
pondents briefly reviewed the sifu-
alton in the Picardy salient where the
Lines have now reached the general
rosition of the front in 1916 before
the llindenburg withdrawal. AT
no point is the enemy now within so
miles of Paris.
The Picardy salient has been trim
med away on front of 80 miles to
a maximum depth of Is miles. the
chief of staff said, and the line
on the Aisne-Marne front has re-
Tnained stationary.
The 1Sist regiment is composed
of Illinois national guardsmen and
Is attached to the Goth brigade of
Infantry in the 3Srd division, COM
manded by Major General George
Pell. The troops were trained at
Camp Logan, Texas.
Discussing the work of the 2Sth
division, comprising Pennsylvania,
tuardsmen, in the Aisne-Aarne sal.
lent, General March said the only re-
| ort upon its casualties received
was that 400 men had been hit dur
ing four hours on July 3, in the adj
vance to the Vesle.
The 2Sth division General March
said, participated in the advance
across the Ourcq July 90, when the
fttack against the German lines
thrust the enemy back to the Vesle
The 2Sth was flanked on one side
by the 42nd, (Ralnbow) and on the
ether by the third regular division
It's position in the line was between
Sergy and Roncheres.
In connection with the announce
ment of the formation of the first
iield army August 10, General March
disclosed that there were then 81
American divisions in France and tho
Held army including approximately
! 100000 men.
1t is assumed that General Pevsh-
ing has taken over his own staff as
the stat: OF the first field army. III
that case, Major General James W.
McAndrew is the chief of staff both
OF the amy and Of the American
oXped.t,cnary forces.

vice rendered here with the many

vas an inspiration to the board to
lack up this splendid work to the
lint of its ability. Regulations re-
Quire that everything supplied the
troop trains by the Red Cross must
be given outright, not even a nom-
inal charge may be made. This is
new ruling, and 1t works finan-
cial hardship on the canteen, as may
be readily seen. Donations of fruits.
isilies, etc, also of money, will be
doubly welcome under these new
conditions.

UNDER new LAW
Board Estimates that Many
Would be Liable to Serv-

Grand Forks county will register
Apr oximately 4,500 men for the next
draft II. Secretary Bakers man power
bill passes congress with the age lim-
its Of IS and As, it was estimated to-
day by Charles Evanson, chief clerk
Of the county draft board.
300 would be from Grand Forks city.
1t was said.
The new age limits would require
the registration of a large number of
the prominent business and profess
eional men in the county. The calling
OF such men would take many from
important positions in banks, mercan-
tile houses, offices, ETC., and would
n%ecessitate the reorganization of
forces.
The Grand Forks county, draft
board has received no definite instruc-
tons regarding the appointment of an
instruction board. suggested in a re-
cen communication by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder. This board has
done much of the work that the pro-
vost marshal suggested in his CON-
munication, and such a board nay not
be necessary. he provost marshal
suggested, however, that some, mill
tary training be given n that other
instructions be given the men, so that
they will go to the camp freely and
with a will to do their best. At pres
ent, it was pointed out, many men do
not go willingly and in a spirit Of
service, chiefly because they are ignor-
ant Of what awaits them or of what is
required Of them.

ECONOMY SHOWN

People Of the middle west and

conservatism in expenditures. ac-
eording to a survey made by the
Council of National Defense to ascer-
tain whether civilians are practising
economy during the war.
The primary purpose of the survey
was to obtain material to be used as
appeals in the fourth Liberty Loan
campaign. Loan workers will be d.
rected to urge further economies in
order to finance the prosecution of
the war.
The inquiry developed the con-
clusion that persons Of moderate
means and the well to do are econo-

The inquiry extended to a large

Merchants Association
Directors Hold Meet

At a regular meeting of the beard
of directors of the Merchants asso-
citation held at noon today, the matter
of securing a barn suitable. for the
stabling and feeding of horses driven
to town by farmers throughout the
winter when roads are in such condi-
ton that automobiles cannot be used,
the subject of earnest discussion.
The following committee was appoint
ed to investigate ways and means to
that end and report at the next meet
ing of the board: Messrs. G. L. Ire
land. NJ. Stanchfield and w. A. Odell.
Another matter which came up for
discussion was the feasibility of aban-
doning the practice of sending custo-
mers monthly statements of account
itemized in detail. An outside speaker
representing one of the great office
speciality houses, who feels that in
dealing with the matter he is doing his
patriotic part in war work, appeared
at n meeting and presented argu-
ments to show that the old practice
is wasteful. serves no useful
and can easily be abandoned if custo-
mers will merely get into the habit Of
saving the itemized sales slips which
they always receive when goods are
delivered. The matter was reserved
Tor further discussion at general
meeting.
1t was decided to hold a special
meeting of the Merchants association
on, Thursday evening, August 80, and
to hold similar meetings henceforth on
n last Thursday of every month.
