The latest demand from our troops in

Rhone. tho Seine, tho Loire, and the
branches Of the Rhine, together with the
connecting canals and smaller rivers,

The requirements for enlistment are

previous employer. Men who are not
within the prescribed age limits or who
cannot pass the usual physical exanlna-
tion for recruits need not apply. Drafted
men may have an opportunity later to
transfer TO this regiment, but they can
not enlist for 1t now and they are re-
quested not to write about II, as no ex-

HEAVY PRICE FOR FAILURE.

II is estimated that the Germans paidh
toll of approximately 100000 casualties
for their recent successes In Northern
France. Assuming that they could con-
tinue to advance In the same ratio of miles

oners, it would cost them more than
million men to reach the gates OF Paris;
and if Paris we're III German hands today,

to guess At the close of the war, if per-

watched them fight many fire, from
boyhood days up. The only trouble |
found with the department, when boy,
was they never let fire burn long enough.

building was destroyed. The bravery
and efficiency Of tho department in fight

property satisfied all concerned, and again

members of its faculty, who are drawn
away by much higher remuneration for
their services in other pursuits This situa-
ton should serve to emphasize the miser-

educational pursuits, and the necessity of
q radical reform. All these men should be
worth at least as much to their colleges as
TO industrial concerns.

The most skeptical person would
have been impressed in the various
gatherings of yesterday. the 4Glor-
ious Fourth" by the deep spiritual
note in every meeting. There was a
great "undertone" of dependence
upon God and of faith in an overrul-
ing divine power. This note was
sounded loud and clean in the
speeches of George W. Scoield and
Van Swearingen. although their
themes were purely secular and fra
ternal. God grant that the day is
fast approaching when "all men will

His wonderful works among the chill

ATFARGO TUESDAY
Body Controlling Education to
Visit Institutions
ByAhem

Fargo, n. d., Feb. 1S.-The state
board of regents will begin here to-
morrow series OF stated meetings
which will include visits to all Of the
educational institutions in the Red
river valley, concluding with session
at Grand Forks on Washington's birth
day, founders day" for the UNIVERSE
ty, when DR.. Kane will be formerly
indicted into his new chair as presi-
dent of the state "U.'' At the same
time the board will receive for final
approval plans and specifications for
the new chemistry building at the
university, which is to cost 100000:
Dean E. j. Babcock acting president,
has completed all preliminary details,
and everything is in readiness to- be
submitted to the board There has
been some suggestion that in view of
the governments request for conser
walton and restriction of building oper-
ati0ns, the chemistry hall at the uni
versity and an addition planned for
the agricultural college here, which
combined would represent an outlay
Of about $150,OO0, be dropped for the
time-being. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that the board of regents will
seriously consider this proposal as
these additions have long been need
ed by the institutions, which are
cramped for room and by lack of prop
er facilities.
President Lewis F. Crawford of
Sentinel Butte will again preside over
the state board of regents when it
cOnvenes tomorrow His petition for
an Injunction restraining the three
Frazier members who constitute a
majority, from recognizing the board,
is still pending before Judge Cooley
in Grand Forks. Col. Charles Brewer
originally wassa party to this. action,
as secretary of the board, but he has
resigned that position to re.enter
newspaper work in St. Paul, and Presi-
dent Crawford now is the only palm
tiff.
The board of regents, which is re-
presented by Attorney Generau Will
liam S. LANCER, does not appear
anxious to bring this point to an is
sue. Attorney General LANCER was
forced to rule against the Frazier ma.
j0rity when at it's first meeting it re-
organized the board, threw Crawford
out of the presidency and substituted
Robert I. Muir Of Sarles, a brother-in-
law of William Lemke of Fargo, one
Of the three managers of the nation
al n0npartisan league. LANCER then
told the Frazier board how it might
legally proceed to GUST Crawford and
elected one of it's own members chair
man, and it is to enjoin the Frazier
members from carrying out Langer's
instructions that Crawford has asked
for an injunction
