LARGE WAR RELICS EXHIBIT
Special Train Containing Exhibit Ac-
cOmpanied by Great Lakes Naval
Band Will Visit City Thurs.
day Afternoon

Germans and battle Scared pieces
saved by the Allies from the awful
fight which is being waged upon the
Hindenburg line will be on exhibi-
ton in this city Thursday, Septem-
Der 10. A special train conveying
the exhibit accompanied by big band
from the Great Lakes Training Sta
tion, will pull into the city over the
Great Northern at 80 and will re-
main until four o'clock during which
time the public will be permitted to
inspect the various trophies and relics.
This will be the first opportunity the
people of the west have had to in
spect such an elaborate display of
this character and it is expected that
many from adjoining towns will avail
themselves of the opportunity. The
Great Lakes band in itself will be
worth going miles to hear as it is
famed as being one Of the best musi-
cal organizations in the country today.
Special speakers will accompany the
train and explain the exhibits and give
short talks. They will be able to
tell the public many interesting facts
outside the mission and purpose Of
the War Relics exhibit. The exhibits
will be displayed in the cars of the
train, the visitors being conducted in
parties, pausing at each exhibit as it
is explained by an attendant. The
public should make arrangements to
be on hand promptly when the train
pulls into the Great Northern depot
Thursday afternoon as the time is
limited and it is desired that as many
as possible may view the exhibits.
Special arrangements were made with
the authorities at Washington for two
trains to tour the northwestern states
carrying war relic exhibits fresh from
the battlefields Of Europe by A. r.
Rogers, chairman Of the General Com
mittee of the Fourth Liberty Loan in
the Ninth District.

Luther McGahan Offered Commission

Luther McGahan, son of Editor Nc
Gahan of the Dakota State Journal,
who left the city recently for Camp
Lewis, Washington, has received no.
tice from the Commandant at Camp
Pike, Arkansas, that he has been ac-
cepted at that cantonment with the
rank Of End Lieutenant, subject to the
approval of Provost Marshal General
Crowder. Luther enlisted as a pri-
vate notwithstanding the fact that he
held an officers rank with Company
D when the Minot men were stationed
at the Mexican border and his pre-
vious military experience had at once
attracted the attention of the officers
at Camp Lewis and he was in line
for promotion there. AS yet the
father has not received any word from
his son, as to what his intentions are
with respect to accepting this tempt
ing offer from the Commandant at
Camp Pike but in all probability he
will accept the promotion.

Former Governor Hanna to Return
in November

Former Governor L. B. Hanna, who

American E. F., France,
August 18th, 1918.
Honorable Carl Jorgensen,
Minot Auto Co.,
Minot, N. Oak.
Dear Carl:
| am enjoying my work over here
ever so much. At present we have
the largest Base Hospital of Ameri-
cans in France, having nearly five
thousand wounded and gassed men
here. l have charge of the Red
Cross activities here and they are
many, getting larger all the time and
more interesting every day.
My plans are now to come home for
while in November and then to come
back here again in the Spring. l
like the work. 1t appeals to me, and
! have met lot of our North Da-
kota boys over here. Yesterday,
Fred Pentz, who went out in the Mi
not company, called on me. He is in
the hospital here, was gassed and also
was wounded in the leg. He is still
on crutches but feeling fine and anxi-
Gus to go back to the front again.
We also have another boy named
Lindstrom from near Minot, who is
in the Minot Company. He is doing
we'll.
The spirit among these boys here
is simply wonderful. You do not hear
any complaints, and yet some of them
are shot up pretty badly.
l hope, Carl, that the crops may
turn out better than you anticipate.
When you get time, write me. Kind
ly remember me to all of the old
friends, and with very best wishes for
your own good self, l remain,
Very sincerely yours,
l.. B. HANNA,
