Business Men Will Give
Smoker for Apollo Club

When the Apollo club, of Fargo, ap-
pears in the Normal school auditor
ium on Friday evening, closing the
annual Artists Course, It will give it's
fifth concert. The home concert is
being given in the Orpheum theater in
Fargo this evening. For this appear
ance the men have been hard at work
all season, and that they will give an
excellent program here Friday goes
without saying.
The club membership is carefully
selected from among the best singers
of the Gateway City. 1t is composed
|of professional and business men, and
lin compliment Of the organization,
the Valley City Commercial club de-
cided at the meeting Of the board of
directors last evening, will hold a
smoker in the Commercial club rooms
Immediately following the concert in
the auditorium. >..
The attention of the general public
is called to this more than ordinary
musical attraction. Single artists and
small groups of artists are heard here
frequently, but an organization of 40
male voices is an attraction that is
rarely secured.
The management of the Artists
Course is leaving no stone unturned
to make the attraction as successful
as it should be when an organization
of sister city appears here, espec-
tally, and the Apollo club should have
the support, not only of every music
lover, but of every person interested
in the betterment of community
spirit.

Judge label Elected
toDo''War Garden Work

Judge C. A. label is preparing to
lay aside his knitting and grasp the
spade in the interests of city War
Garden work. At a meeting of the
Commercial club Tuesday evening
Judge label was elected special rep
resentative Of the city War Garden
work for the coming season.
1t is expected tina a greater inter-
est will be shown in this work than
Last year, when large number OF
willing children were unable to "do
their bit" because of the reluctance
of some property owners to turn their
vacant lots over to the children.
Judge label believes that the
growing spirit of patriotism and the
realization Of the pressing need for
food production as we'll as food con-
servation will quite eliminate this
difficulty and that all owners of va
cant lots will willingly come to the
aid of War Garden work this spring.

Author Of Keep the
Home Fires Burning =
Killed In London

London, March 12.-The death OF
Mrs. Lena Gilbert Ford, the American
woman who wrote keep the Home
Fires Burning" one of the most popu,
lar marching songs of the British
army, and her crippled son, Walter
was pathetic incident of the Ger
man air raid on Londan. They died
under the wreckage Of their home.
=; Maid is Heroic
An English maid, Annie Coxall, by
a remarkable display of courage
saved the life of Mrs. Ford's mother
Mrs. Brown, &c years old, although
the aged woman was quite seriously
injured. The king and queen sought
out Miss Coxall at the scene Of the
explosion Saturday and expressed
their warm admiration for her, heroic
behavior. ,4,,Ss.,s i = t s}. ~, -.
f,Mrs. Ford and her son were in bee
atvthe time of' the raid in adjoining
rooms on the second floor of a four
story house in a long block of sub.
stantial brick structures. A bomb ap.
pears to have hit the roof close to the
partition wall dividing the Ford house
from the adjoining building. It shat
tered the roof and upper floors, which
gradually collapsed with part of the
wall.
Were Imprisoned
The heavy beams and brick wall
fell through the building, enveloping
the chambers occupied by Mrs. Ford
and her son. They were thus impris-
oned for several minutes before the
second floor collapsed under the
weight of the wreckage, carrying them
to the first floor, and then, after an
other pause, to the basement. They
died probably y from sufication, and are
the first Americans to lose their lives
in air raid on London.
The two upper floors of the house
were occupied by another family, all
of whom were killed. Mrs. Ford's
mother, Mrs. Brown, occupied a room
on the first floor, directly under Mrs
Ford's chamber, while beneath her, in
a small basement bedroom, Mrs
Ford's maid, Annie Coxall.

American War Secretary
Arrives Safe In France

Washington, March 11.-Safe ar
rival in France of Secretary Baker
and his party having been formally
announced today by the navy DEPART
ment, press reports about his move
ments on the other side are being
watched closely here.
Many officials think it possible that
the story of his activities, if permitted
to pass the censor, will throw inter-
esting light upon the object of his mis-
sion to the theater of war.
Wilson Wants Offensive
Emphasis laid by the war depart
ment upon the fact that Mr.. Bakers
trip was purely military pilgrimage
without diplomatic significance, has
directed attention to the known de-
sire of President Wilson to see an en-
ergetic campaign waged by the allies.
With American troops holding a
constantly increasing sector of the
battle lines, the wishes of the Wash
ington government undoubtedly will
have even greater weight than hereto
fore with the allied chieftians. Sec
retary Baker will be able to learn first
hand from General Pershing things
that are going on in France. He will
not only bear what the American lead
er thinks of the prospects for his own
forces, but will get also views, found
ed on long continued observations, as
to the French and British war ma
chimes.
It is assumed that the secretary is
gathering just such information for
the president and going over as he has
done, backed by intimate knowledge
of all that has transpired in the Unit
ed States since this country entered
the great war, he will be able to give
as well as receive important informa-
ton.
May Decide Question
The great question Of the direction
in which the United States is to exert
it's greatest effort in the war may be
decided on the result of these confer
ences abroad. There has been con-
stant conflict not only as to the use
of ship tonnage as between the ship.
nnent Of troops and the shipment OF
supplies for the allies, but also as tc
the priority rights Of various army
supplies and equipment. ..}
Aside from any particular object
the war secretary's trip may have, HI
has been eager to get to the from
ever since the United States entered
| the war. He has frequently told off
GERS en- route to Europe that he en-
We'd them their opportunity to see
the world history in the making
Added to that is his great feeling Of
personal responsibility for the wa,
preparations of the government.

Extensive improvements are soon
