ELTON RETURNS
FROM Y. | N. c. A.
CONFERENCE
Organization Planssto Assist
Men Returning From
the Service.

States Attorney T. B. Elton has
returned from Chicago where he has
been attending Y. M. G. A. confer
ence for the consideration OF work to
be carried out by that organization
in connection with the men returned
from military service.
Other representatives of this state
who attended the meeting are Blaine
Curtis Of Fargo, w: K. Remission Of
Bismarck and Otto Zimmerman OF
Jamestown. Representatives from
fourteen states, comprising the Gems
trail department. attended the con-
v%ention. T..
1t was decided at the conference to
set aside a sum of money to be used
soldiers and sailors. The appropria-
ton will be made on the basis Of
t~hirty-five cents per capita which
means that about 10000 will be ex-
pended for the work in North Dakota.
Scope of the Plan.
The idea is not to create an inde-
pendent organization. stated Mr.. Ell
ton, but rather to coordinate exist
Ing agencies for the work planned.
The four main problems discussed
were, first n most important, the
economic situation arising with the
return of soldiers; second. civic, arts

men who have been away: third, re-
ligious, is since the men of the service
have been rowing around and going
through SO much they have become
more broad-minded: and fourth, re-
creational for the men have been
trained to a higher physical stand
ard and should have opportunity to
let down slowly from the exercise
and physical exertion rather than to
stop abruptly.
The Y. M. c. A. is not only work.
ing for the present but has laid plans
! which will affect the future and an
endeavor will be made to place the
men in the right kind Of work and to
fit them back in their proper places
in h e community. The boys are
coming back from the service very
ing their absence the communities
! have changed also n it will be the
endeavor of the organization to assist
the men to fit back into the COM
munity for the best of all concerned.
Committee Meeting Soon.
There will doubtless be a meeting
of the state committee called in the
near future to take up the question
with a view of carrying out the OBJ
jective brought out at the Chicago
conference.
Just. now many OF the plans lal0
out at the conference will be prac-
ticable in this state is a conjecture
for the situation varies in various sec
lions. AS North Dakota is largely an
agricultural state, the problems thai
would arise in an industrial state dc
not apply. In many instances men
released from the service will return
to their former occupations in agri.
cultural pursuits.
First and foremost the problems tt
be taken up are economic ones an6
the main task is to find employment
for the men who are returning. Other
plans for the Y. M. G. A. for the mer
may. come later after this situation
has been cared for. 1t has been pro
posed that every city. township O.
county that has public improvement
work which has been held up durin,
the war, should start that work i'm
mediately and in this way furnish
employment for large numbers Of mel
returned from the army and. navy.

MOTHER DOUBTS
SONS DEATH
Confusion Caused. by Mum
Der of Men of Same Name
Being in Same Company.

Mrs. G. A. Anderson Of Gonvick,
Mimi, mother of Private c. E. An
derson, who died in France in July,
1917, arrived in the city this morning
to consult with the home service bu-
reau of the American Red Cross in
this city. When Mrs. Anderson re-
ceived the news Of her sons death
many months after it occurred, she
was not able to realize it and even
now when she is receiving the insur-
ance the government is sending her,
she is in doubt as to her sons death.
In speaking Of the death Of her son,
Mrs. Anderson stated that there were
four Clarence Andersons in the serv-
ice from Grand Forks and that when
ever the government sent any corre-
%spondence regarding the death it had
been addressed to Mrs. Frank L. An
derson, 701 Walnut street. in Grand
Forks. instead of to Mrs. o. A. An
derson at Gonvick. Mimi. sc this fact
has been what she has based her hope
on. While here Mrs. Anderson called
on Sam CARRIER. who was with her
son in France and who recently re.
turned from overseas. He was not
able tt tell her anything about her
son; he had been transferred to q
different infantry unit some months
before he was reported dead, al
though Mr.. CARRIER remembered the
time when c. E. Anderson was
wounded. N
Mrs. Anderson returned to her home

EACH CHEVR0N
TELLS STORY
Each Has a Meaning, and
Those Who Know, Can
Read a Record.
"Those chevrons what do thu.
mean?"

''Those chevrons what do THY
mean?"
1.-THE boys say they don't know
They're only there because they're
there"
"Who does know about them?' are
some of the questions n ear all
over the city today as a returned SOL
der or sailor passes. and no one seems
to know. But the home service sec
ton of the Red Cross does know and
gives out the following information
today:
A gold ''v' worn point down on
the lower half OF. the left sleeve means
six months service in the theater
of operations; every additional six
months means another gold chevron.
A sky blue chevron mean less
than six months service in the the
ater Of operations.
A silver chevron worn in the same
manner as the gold. means that it's
wearer has served six months outside
the theater Of operations.
A gold chevron worn on the lower
half of the right sleeve does not mean
that the wearer got mixed as to a ms.
1t means that he was wounded, and
the number of times can be designated
by counting these chevrons.
A man with q scarlet chevron worn
between the elbow and shoulder, tes-
titles that he has been honorably dis
! charged from his country's service.
So after this when you see a re-
turned soldier, you can tell more
about him by studying the ch%evrons
on his sleeve than you could If you
were to ask him all about himself.

FEW AMERICANS
HELD CAPTIVE
BY B0LSHEV'lS } Is
American Casualties in Rus
STA Less Than Four Per
Cent Of Forces.

With the American Forces in
Northern Russia, Thursday. Feb. 20.
-(By the Associated Press.)-While
vague reports indicate that there per-
haps may be a few American soldiers
held captive at Vologda or Moscow, it
appears that the majority Of the IS
Americans, the total number listed as
missing in action since the beginning
OF the campaign, must be counted as
dead. Some of these were wounded
men who became lost in the woods,
while others were members Of small
detachments which were surrounded
and are believed to have died fight
ing. ~
One American captain said that
the seventeen men who were missing
after the Shenkursk< attack were un-
~doubtedly dead. as the Bolsheviki
apparently had conducted their cam.
paign on the basis Of taking NJ
prisoners. .t
The total losses in killed, died OF
wounds or disease or missing for the
entire expedition up to today are
only 1872, of which number eight were
officers. This is less than four per
cent. of forces involved.

Thorough preparations for the con-
Quoting Of the financial campaign

paign. -t
The business section Of the city has
been divided into ten districts with
captains for each district; all the cap
tains have not yet been appointed, but
will be tonight. The object Of the
campaign is to raise the necessary
amount of money needed which
amounts to $4,000 for the running ex-
penses of the local institution. When
speaking Of this condition today Sec
rotary w. H. Elfring said that it cost
$50. 600 yearly to run the Y. M. c. A.
and that 100000 revenue was received
