ation.
Fatal Attraction Of
Uniform, Argument
Urging Re-enlistment
"Don't forget the fatal attraction of
the uniform." wirtes Jack Newson
from France to Wm. Hornilman of
this city in an effort to get him to re
enlist in the regular army. iThe two
men were "buddies" througfi several
months of fighting in France during
the war.
Newson re-enlisted for a three-year
term and writes a rather whimsical
letter to his one time "pal." Hornl
man declares his friend would make
a good recruiting officer. The letter
In part follows:
"Was it all as rosy as you pictured
in the long weeks while you waited
for the transport after the armistice?
Do your war experiences still hold
'em breathless rdo you catch them
suppressing a. yawn? Does the old
job or the new job seem monotonous
and confining? Does the family 'un
derstand' you the way your buddy
did? Is the bunch back home as
regular a crowd as your messmates
in the chow line?
"In spite of all those resolutions,
those 'Never Agains' that you used to
•ay so fervently when the army was
mentioned, haven't you caught your
self thinging pleasantly of your ex
periences? Don't you feel sorry for
the guy who didn't get into the big
game
"Uncle Sam is calling you back. He
needs every veteran of war experi
ence to train the new men in how it's
really done. It is a cinch to get back
your old rating and with the big per
centage of recruits, promotion should
be lifted from a silver platter.
"Consider also that te peace army
is different than life in the field. We
live in real barracks, equipped with
all modern conveniences. We eat
well and regularly from plates and
with real eating implements. Eve-

MURDERED MAN
AT JAMESTOWN
Jamestown. N. D., June 20.—That
the unidentified man who was found
murdered in a box car ip the outskirts
of the city last week was the victim
of I. W. W.'s is the belief of police
here brought about by the finding of
the words "Get a card," written in
blood on the side of the car in which
the man's body was found.
The words "Get a card" area warn
ing to transients not members of the
I. W. W.. police here say.
No clue has been discovered of the
murderer or as to the identity of the
victim.

PUSHING WORK
'.V
New System May be Ready
For Use Last of July, Ex
change Manager Says.
With ideal weather conditions pre
vailing. and a crew working regular
ly, the outlook for a rapid completion
of the work of tnaking physical con
nection between the two phone sys
tems in the city is most promising, ac
cording to c. R. Bonner, manager of
the Northwestern Telephone Ex
change company today.
As nearly as can be estimated,
about half of the work of putting in
the new telephones to replace the
Tri-State phones, has already been
done, he says, and it is expected that
complete connection will be made be
fore the summer is over. Although it
is impossible to determine just when
the one service system will be in use.
according to Mr. Bonner, the com
pany believes that the new system
will be in working order the last of
July or the first partj of August.

CITY EXPECTS AN
OVERSUBSCRIPTION
FOR BOY SCOUTS
That Grand Forks guarantees its
full quota for .the Boy Scouts of
America in the membership drive
now cfn is the substance of a tele
gram sent this morning by H. N.
Wells, chairman of the county Boy
Scouts' campaign, to G. H. Hollister
of Fargo, state chairman of the asso
ciation.
The committeemen and scouts are
still working both in the city and
throughput the county, and although
the quota has not yet been reached,
prospects are most encouraging and
the county corkers are sure this dis
trict will go over, Mr. Wells said to
day.
Th^/ city of Grand Forks is meet
ing its allotment nicely, the commit
tee reports, although the campaign
must continue to meet the required
number of members. An oversub
scription is expected both from the
city and county.
SOME COMPORT FOR KENTUCKY.
Present indications point to a large
blackberry crop in Kentucky. Peace
negotiations profress slowly. The
seven-year locusts are upon us. The
Republicans control congress. Span
ish influenza, may return. Sugar is
high. Nobody has suggested a near
old-fashioned toddy that will be a
tol'able imitation of the real thing
when the United States becomes dry.
The birth rate isn't all it should be,
I the infant mortality rate is too high,
and divorce is depressingly common.
But with broad acres of blackberry
pie and tons of blackberry cobbler
in prospect, the grand old common
wealth is not utterly disconsolate.—
Louisville Courier-Journal.

WILSON SPEAKS AT
DINNER GIVEN IN
BRUSSELS BY KING
Brussels, Thursday. June 19.—At
the dinner given tonight in honor .of:
President and Mrs. Wilson by the king
and queen of Belgium, with Cardinal
Mercier and other distinguished guests
present, the president, addressing
King Albert, spoke as follows:
"Le me express, sir, the very deep
Appreciation with which I have heard
your remarks. You itrulv say' that I
have come to Belgium to express my
own deep personal interest and sym
pathy—sympathy with her sufferings
And Interest in her prosperity, but 1
would have no such personal in^eerst
if it were not my priyilege for the
time being to represent the people of
the United States.
•"What gives me confidence in ex
pressing this sympathy-and this inter
est is that I know in .expressing those
sentiments that I am expressing the
feelings of. the people of the United
States. There has never been in the
United States a more general and: uni-.
vernal comprehension .of .sympathy
with the %ffairs of another nation
than that which the people of the.
United Suites have had for the af
fairs and. the people of Belgium.
."I have. h&d the. very greatt.advan
tage of seeing the little that I have
had time to see of tlw experience of
Belgium under. your guidance, and'
know how triie it is, sir... that you
speak for your people. One of the
delightful experience these last days
has been to hear the acclaim from
the heart whi$h everywhere greets
Roi. Their first cry was for their
ing, their second thought was the
welcome of the stranger, and I was
glad in my heart that it should be so,
because I know that I was wittb4 real
statesman and a real ruler: No man'
has any power, sir. except that which
^s-given him by the things and people
he represents.
"I have felt many points of sym
pathy between the people whom
ve the pleasure of representing: and
the peoiple whom you represent' They
are a. very democratic Deople and It
has been .very, delixhtfui.to. find. sir,
"^^^^vS^that you are a true democrat. .AH
