NO PERSHING

KIDS IN FARGO

Fargo, N. D., March 11.-Al-
though birth records at the Of
flee of the city auditor are far
from complete, an investigation of
the records made this week shows
that there was not a single "John
Pershing" nor one Woodrow
Wilson" among the names filed,
during the last four months. Mel
ther was there "Theodore
Roosevelt" or one whose given
name corresponds with that of
any great national character.
Fargo people evidently believe
that the naming of one of the
grade schools the "Woodrow Will
SON. is noteworthy enough with
out giving their babies the names
of heroes in national history.
Wesley C. Mcdowell, state chair
man for the Liberty Loan cam
paign, made the statement in
Fargo recently that the war is not
over until the boys have been re-
turned and the debts of the United
States paid. So in the interim,
Fargo might come forward with
few Woodrow Wilson," "Theo-
dore Roosevelt" or General
Pershing" babies. .-..

Germany will 90 out of existence as
a result Of adoption by the supreme

600 men. and to change the plan Of
enlistment from CONSUMPTION to vOlun-
tary enlistment Foch favored the
change. declaring the conscription plan
of 1.OOOOO0 men in five years.
One OF Premier Lloyd Georges pur-
poses in substituting voluntary enlist
ment was to pave the way for the dis
appearance Of the cOnscriptiOn system

that other European countries would
follow Germany's lead.
