Edgar Wilson Gets His First
Impression of Modern
$wn i'' 'Warfare .*.*
lSdgar Wilson, son of Mrs. M. P.
Wilson of this city, has felt the terrors
of war already hefore he actually en
gaged In fighting. At least he reports
in a letter to his mother that his arm
Is completely sore from shaking hands
with soldiers who represent Grand
Forks at the French front.
The letter advises .Mrs. Wilson that
her son has arrived safely in France
and is feeling fine. He says that army
life is wonderful and adds that he
is stationed only a few miles from
where the Machine Gun soldiers are.
"I was over .to .call ,on these boys."
Edgar Wilson writes.to his mother,
"and I saw about sixty of them from
around home. The boys were glad to
see- me. they said, for I was the first
Grand Forks boy whom they had seen
since they left for France.
"There were so many of the dough
boys from home that my arm got sore
Just from shaking hands with them
all. Everyone is determined to get the
Germans, and I am glad that I got
the privilege of helping all our sol
diers In this work."
Egar Wilson enlisted in the coast
artillery early' in' the year and left for
France a little more than three
months ago.

SEEN BV HANLEY
Princess Pat Survivor Who
Speaks Here Tonight,
Discusses War.
Discussing the latest features of
western battles, notably the capture
of Montidier by- the Allies, Sergeant'
Hanley of the famous Princess Pat
regiment of Canada, said upon his
arrival here this afternoon that it
will be only, a matter of time until
Germany will be given the decisive
beating she has coming.
Sergeant Hanley will speak about
the war tonight at the Auditorium,
his lecture having been arranged un
der the auspices of the Grand Forks
Home Guard. Moving pictures will
illustrate the talk in which the Can
adian warrior will point out the rea
sons why the Allies will ultimately
win.
Where Germany made her mistake,
said Sergeant Hanley, is when she
started to dig trenches. That was
the beginning of the end. In prepar
ing for trench fighting the Germans
gave the Allies opportunity to gather
in reserve forces and make prepara
tions for a long seige. Now the
armies of' France and England are
better equipped than ever before.
They have the men. they have the
equipment, and the Prussians are fast
being driven out of France,- while the
Allies are takir- strategic positions
which will eventually give them com
mand of the entire western front.

English guns, tires 16-inch shells at

7,000,000. These original 75,000 men
were the nest trained soldiers in the
world. They were known jhe Tip
p«rary army. When they went into
their first battle they were singing
Tipperary. They were in high spirits'
and- they imagined they could whip
Germany in one day. But they paid
dearly for that first glimpse of Prus
sian wa.-fare. Implements of war un
known to them were used by the.
Germans, p.nd today there are very
tevp of that 75,000 left to tell the
tale the Germans played havoc with
"these troops not* only in the battle
of Moris, but in subsequent battles.
Sergeant Hanley. a veteran of the
Boer war, joined the Canadian army
in 1914. After two years of service
he wos wounded and sent back to
Canada. While he has entirely re
covered, he will not be accepted back
in the army. .1
Submarine Warfare Is a Faroe.
The submarine warfare he charac
terized as a farce. Aside from caus
ing several thousands of women, chil
dren and ships' crews to perish in the
seas, it has accomplished nothing.
Fortunately, however, it has brought
the United States into the war.
MANYHOMBTO
INVITE SOLDIERS
Commercial Club Has
Lengthy List of Invi
tations.
a
At the Commercial club it was
said today that a large number of
families had acted upon the sugges
tion recently made to invite soldiers
who are --training at the University,
for dinner guests at their home to
morrow and later Sundays.
Arrangement has been made by
which the soldiers can report at the
university branch of the Y. M. C. A.
giving information as to the Sun
day hours at which they can get
away from camp to sit. down at the
hospitable Grand Forks boards, and
the Commercial club receives the in
vitations extended by local families
to the soldiers, acting as a clearing
house of information bringing hosts
and guests together.
To morrow will be the first Sunday
on which the arrangement will be
effective, and in consequence of its
being made much joy reigns at the
military training camp at the Uni
versity of North Dakota. Several of
those who have invited soldiers, said
that they did so because they knew
how much their own sons appreciat
ed hospitality being extended to them
in places where they were complete
strangers.
"It is nothing but the cheerful pay
ing of a debt," one host said this aft
ernoon.

means that for the whole period of

county has taken $4.93 worth. Of

per capita' amount was $2.62. In
other words. Grand Forks county
ranks twelfth in the campaign as a

campaign.
Griggs county has the distinction
of heading the list in North Dakota,
and as far as the amounts of the

county is second only to Cass and

not indicative of the individual
efforts made by every inhabitant .of

Dakota so well along on the way to
attain her quota that the committee
looks forward with condence to the

BOMB ATTACK
IS DESCRIBED
BY AIM RYAN
Local Soldier Witnesses
Fight in the Air—But.
Feels O. K.
The bombing by German airplanes
is described very vividly in a letter
to Mrs. Ernest Butler written from
"Somewhere in France" .by Anson
Ryan, her brother.
Mr.. Ryan, who is a member of
Company A, 11th Engineers, to which
unit he haa recently been permanent
ly assigned, writes, in part, as fol
lows:
"I haven't seen more than 2 Ger
piari machines in the air at the same
time, but that is a crowd. If any
thing gets on my nerves, they do. One
bombed our camp last April, or tried
tp. He dropped seven bombs, and
the first was about 300 feet away,
and the rest in a line from it, but
in the opposite direction. We heard
the anti-aircraft guns working on
them, and woke up. It is very easy
to tell by the hum of the motor
whether it is friends or foe, and when
we heard that one, we took special
notice. They travel very fast and
can be heard for only a few minutes
while passing over.' We soon knew
that he was circling over our heads,
but it is Just as safe -to stay aa to go.

The entire industrial worldiis turned'topsy turvy,.by wartime conditions. Hundreds
of factories have been commandeered-by the government. Thousands of skilled workers
are "under orders." ^Transportation is precarious. Prictes are rapidly advancing, our
entire scheme of living-is revolutionized.
Most important in the realm of fashion is the unprecedented scarcity of fine ma
terials. So serious is this that we are breaking the custom of many years to announce
our preparedness with the new Autumn merchandise.
We deem it our duty to eryphaslze the necessity for buying as much as you can

It would certainly be a wise move on your part to contemplate

from all directions. The next day

In another, part of the letter Mr.
Ryan describes a gas attack as well
as a bombardment made with naval
