FEEDER AL BOARD
TO RENEW WORK
ION PREVENT TING
VALLEY FLOODS
Secretary Vrooman Orders
New Investigation In 90
Situation
WOULD BE BIG
AID TO FARMERS
State Engineer Hard Home
From Conference At
Washington

The United States department Of
agriculture has just renewed Its Of
fer Of aid in the engineering work
on projects to relieve the Red River
valley Of any recurrence Of floods
| Political Instructions which threat
ened the work at one time are brush
ed out Of the way and the federal
end Of the work will soon begin.
This Is the latest agreement under
date Of May 81. and received by State
Drainage Commissioner Hard, who
returned last night from Washing
ton.
This extensive work was secured
by the commissioners office cooper
ating with the new Tri-State Flood
just a year ago. whose executive
committee consists of Hon. o. c..
Neuman, Wheaton; E. Stobe, of
White Rock. and Herbert A. Hard
Of Fargo, chairman. ,
Federal officials take the position
that flood control over the II, 100000
acres Of the Red River valley is a
big conservation and emergency
measure in the worlds strenuous
quest for grain. They expressed
themselves in strong terms to the
above committee.
Great credit is again due Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Vrooman
for his keen insight and sense of
fairness in ordering the renewal Of
the departments obligations to give
the land owners Of the valley the
vastly important work. While the
recent rains have put the crops in
finest shape in much Of the states Of
North Dakota and Minnesota, on the
other hand. much Of the low-lying
and poorest drained part of the val
ley is far too wet. A little jaunt out
side the dry floors Of a Fargo Of
flee will show many spots where wa
ter is now lying. In places the grain
is dead and in larger surrounding
tracts it has turned yellow. This is
true in Trail, Wilkin, Clay and sew
eral other counties.
The valley may consider itself very
lucky, indeed. that the foods Of the
past three years are not repeated.
At the same time with the moderate
continuance OF rainfall. large tracts
Of the present crop will be drowned
out. In this case small politicians
will feel a heavy responsibility for
any obstructive tactics tending to rob
the people Of the benefits Of the two
large offers Of federal aid now at
last available.
The state food control work by
Engineer Hard has been continued
in all seasonable weather, and now
the larger federal finances are avail
able to take up the work in a bigger
way.
Mr.. Hard spent much Of the spring
getting first hand knowledge of flood
control measures in other states, lat
er going to Washington, where he
shaped the technical end Of the i'm
portant bill introduced by Mr.. Baer
for flood control. With his daughter,
Elizabeth, he spent the late winter
months in Florida.

Lieut.. Grenville L. Han
cock Succeeding At

Lieutenant GrenvfIIe L. Hancock
Of the American Flying Corps, son of
George Hancock of North Broadway,

which he has received letters of
praise from the governor OF the
state and other high state officials
who witnessed the flight.
Lieutenant Hancock's flight as de-

The Daily Oklahoman, was made in
so minutes, a distance Of 80 miles
(four hours by train) and he arrived
at the city at an altitude Of 1000
feet;
oklahoma City residents were
thrilled yesterday afternoon by the
clever maneuvers performed by
Lieut.. Granville L. Hancock, army
aviator, while flying sevral thousand
feet above the city. Suddenly the
plane took a true course for the state
capital and after circling the build
ing several times the aviator dropped
messages addressed to Governor Z.
l.. Williams and Mayor Overholser,
containing greetings from the stu
dent fliers at Fort Sill.
Lieutenant Hancock left Fort sill
at 2 o'clock and travelled 80 miles to
Oklahoma City in a little less than
so minutes. Arriving over the city
he Topped the-loop and performed
other stunts. He dipped and gltded
while flying over the capital and
landed in a field southwest of the
building. He returned to Fort Sill
at S o'clock in the afternoon.
"The message to Governor Will
liams, which was enclosed in a red
envelope from which a long red

Greetings from the air service
for the success of the Red Cross
drive"

WAR OF REVENGE
IS PAN GERMAN s
VIEW OF STRIFE
Book Written By Leader Ad-
mits They Longed For War
And Planned Conquest.

tRv Associated Press to Tie Banner'
NEW YORK, July 1S-The present
war is war of revenge long desir-
ed by the Pan Germans writes Kari
Won Strantz, q PanGerman leader In
a book entitled "Our National War
Goal" published in Germany.
German newspapers received here
quote the author as saying:
"In my boyhood days the German
war of retaliation as we must name
this world war more correctly. was
the dream of my life, the realization
of which I have never despaired of,
although did doubt that would live
to see it i'm view of the unfortunate
peace policy followed by the post Bis
marchian administration.
But have lived to enjoy that hap
pinoss. BY word and letter | have
finally Is to restore our old national
and political frontiers which we had
gradually lost in the East and West
since 1852 Neither 1915 nor 1871 re-
stored those frontiers.
bismarck started our national rise
but he did not complete it His dis
charge impeded the victOry-prOmising
course. as his successor gave half of
German Africa sensolessly without
any compensation to our new arch
enemy, England. Herewith began
the descent which only this world
war could arrest and which longed
for and foresaw when such thoughts
were unpopular
The Berlin VOrwacrts, says that the
entire enemy world will learn of this
confession with great satisfaction and
adds: "lf Herr Won Strantz had been
paid for his book by enemy agents
he could not have better worked 'ino
the hands of the enemy countries. The
book, says the Vorwaertz, is proof of
the criminal activities of certain Par
German circles, which now openly
boast that they had longed for this
war as their greatest happiness.

For God and Country.-A remark
able scene was recently enacted at
old St. Andrews Church, New York,
one Sunday morning, just before the
printers Mass" the half-past two in
the morning service. A company of
marines stood in line outside of the
church at 1:45 a. M, waiting for or
ders to enter. The company was COM
posed of Catholic men who wished to
go to confession and to receive Holy
Communion that morning, and had
made the journey from their barracks
for that express purpose. The men
were American Catholics, ready to
fight for their country, but mindful
of their duty towards their God. Such
men make the best Americans, in
peace or in war.
