McDowell Confident Today
iThat 25 Per Cent Mark
Is Attained
SEV flKAL STILL
TO MAKE REPORTS
Numerous Coimties" ffive
Come to the Front With
Pine Showings
One-fourth of all the people of
North Dakota, have participated in
the purchase of the third Liberty
Loan bonds, according: to Wesley
McDowell, of Marion, state loan
'chairman.
"Returns did not come up to our
expectations today,' said the state
chairman this afternoon to The For
um. "Rains over the state Tuesday,
•while best for the state and which
created a sentiment toward subscrib
ing for bonds, prevented many work
ers from reaching the rural districts.
Many of the cou"*~.s have not re
ported to the headquarters, and we
believe the chairmen are holding
hack in order to report an over
subscription."
New Record For 8tsta.
Mr. McDowell announced that the
state will make a new record on the
\vide distribution of the sale of bonds
He said there has been a biff pur
chase of 150 and $100 bonds, and re
ports from some districts in the state
indicated today that there would be
many subscriptions of 100 per cent in
the towns.
"Every county will take its allot
ment and will oversubscribe." said
the chairman. "This is different from
last fall when 19 counties fell down
in their allotment in the second loan
Last fall 14 per cent of the people
purchased bonds, and this spring it
will not be less than 25 per cent. The
success of the campaign is due to the
allotment feature and the organiza
tion work in the counties."
An Excellent Report.
Mr McTViw*!! enounced that In
southern Pierce county, Adam Leif
mander, a unit chairman, had $600
to raise in three townships, Mr. Lelf
mander, a German, went at his duties
with courage and reported to the
state headquarters last night that
S 2,000 had been raised and told Mr.
McDowell that he was going to make
It $5,000 before the campaign closed
Thursday evening Workers in Wells
and Mcintosh counties also did spies
did work in the &»<d. the
state chairman.
Railroads to Divide.
It was announced at the Rate
headquarters that the railroads had
agreed to credit each county at the
close of the campaign, the amount,
which the railroad employes in the
respective counties subscribed,
"•Jostle confidence prevailed at the
state headquarters over the success
o e a a i n o a e
'Iowell asked that a warning be given
through the columns of The Forum
that the chairmen and the workers
should not quit untii every man had
been seen
It will W the greatest hour for
North Dakota," said Mr. McDowell,
'"if in this drive the state has a wide
distribution of bondholders We want
flo be the leader of all the states
in having the largest percentage of

DECLARES GREAT

Former Military Instructor

Grand Forks, X. D., April 17.—Col
C&arles H. MoVey, former military
Instructor at the University of North
Dakota, has made publio a letter writ
ten by Gov. Lynn J. Frailer to him
•self, and one written by himself in
response thereto, that throw an in
terestlng light on the North Dakota
administration s views w'th rcspcct
to the doctrine of Americanism that
stands opposed to the propaganda
for the creation of class prejudice.
Colonel McVey, In his letter to the
governor, written Monday, resigns
from the executive's staff, and makes
known his attitude with respect to
the Nonpartisanl eague propaganda
as carried on by the leaders thereof.
Mad* Demand on University.
AM address delivered at Surrfey, N.
D„ on March 21, is responsible for
the clash between Colonel McVey
and the state administration, one
angle of which was the demand made
upon the University of North Da
kota, in the name of the state board
of regents, that Colonel McVey be
not permitted to speak in this state
under the auspices of the unlverait^.
Totten Takes a Hand.
This demand, it appears, grew out
of the activities of George A. Totten,
member of the board of regents, one
of the organisers of A. C. Townley's
chain or Country newspapers, who
made a trip to Surrey and investi
gated the address, some time after
Colonel McVey*s appearance *there.
Mr Totten, accompanied by a stenog
rapher, interviewed several Surrey
people, and it was shortly after Tot
ten's visit to Surrey that the demand
that Colonel McVey be taken off the
speaking work was made.
The hoard of regents had held no
session at which action relative to
the McVey incident could have been
taker\. and it is generally understood
that the demand was ir.ade on the
representations of Mr. Totten.
What Actually Transpired.
The position taken by Governor
Frazier in the matter, and Colonel
McVey statement of what actually
happened at Surrey, are best set forth
In letters nrade public here by Colonel

YPRES SALIENT

Say Germans Hare Used
120 Of Their 200 Divi
sions In^ The West
(By A**oeTated Press.)
London, April 17.—There is no
Inclination to minimize the serious
ness of the loss of Bailleul and the
possibility that it may lead to the
necessity of evacuating Ypres and
Passchendaele.
Under the heading "Thay StIU
Advance" The Daily Mail says that
up to this time in their advance the
Germans have been in marshy
ground. Yesterday they captured
the first of the important ridges by
strong: Wytsehaete beinis aided "by the
fall of Bailleul. and thus "the securi
ty of the Ypres salient, so long the
bulwark of our left and touched
with such Immortal memories to us,
is imperilled."
The Daily Graphic thinks it would
be wise to withdraw tke British
troops from Ypres and Passchen
daele "to avoid the risk of their be
ing opt off and compelled to sur
render." It continues
"That the situation is made more
serious by the loss of BaiUeul is
obvious and it would be dishonest to
pretend otherwise."
The paper adds, however, that as
long as ihe allied armies remain un
broken, Germany's purpose i» not at
tained. while she is exhausting her
self in order to force a decision.
Correspondents on the front say
the Germans have used up 120 of
their 200 divisions in the west and
have been able to bring another two
divisions from Russia.
"These unpleasant reverses must
be faced steadily." says The Times.
"Their significance must neither be
minimized nor exaggerated. Far
more serious than the loss of ground
is the revelation of the growing
weight of the German pressure.
"We hear far too much of the
enemy's losses, mistakes, difficulties
and of their failure to reach appoint
ed objectives on particular days and
not half enough about the serious
fact that thev are still bringing fresh
divisions from Russia."
The Times says the enemy will
continue drawing on their reserves
in Russia until allied statesmen stop
dreaming vain dreams about Russia
and do something practical to compel
the enemy to cease depleting the
Russian front.

SUMMARY OF WAR
With the Ypres salient in south
western Belgium menaced by the
continued advanoe of the Germans en
the Lys bsttle front immediate to
th« south, the British hsve begun to
withdraw from this advanced line
Th« British forward positions east
of Ypres have been given up and a
new line to the west occupied. The
withdrawal was earried out in per
feet order without enemy Jnterfer
ence.
Apparently the retrograde move
ment is pivoting on the Wytsehaete
sector where London today reports a
successful counter attack csrried out
upon ths Gsrmsna, who yscterday
captured th« town of Wytsehaete
near the higheet point of the easterly
Messines Hdge, and who presumably
pushed out somewhat beyond ths
town. They are unofficially reported
as having advanced to St. Eloi,
mile and a half north of Wytsehaete
two miles west of Hollebeke and
about six miles directly south of
Ypres.
St. Eloi ie on the old battle line ae
it existed before the British began
their offeneive last year, taking Mas
sines ridge and later puahing on and
gradually abeorbing all of the Paa
achendaele ridge, the continuation of
the epur to the northeaat.
Thie may be an indication that the
Britiah retirement ie to the line of
the spring of 1917 although such
withdrawal would include the eben
donment of the entire Pacachendaele
position as well as the Meeaines ridge
area, from the greater part of which
they have been driven in the present
battle. It would leave the town of
Ypres, however, still in British handa
LINE 18 HOLDINQ.
There aeems no danger at present
of a retirement on any much larger
scale than this on the northern end
of the FVanco-Belgian line as the
result of the recent German sue
cesses. The line as a whole appears
likely to hold as long as the railway
communicationa supporting it are in
tact. Apparently the security of
these communicationa haa been pro
vided for by the massing of large
forces in the northwesteriy eeotor of
the Lys bsttle front.
