When the House Feconvenes the bill will go to # Conference committee for action on the &mendments made by the senate. North Dakota Safe. “There's nothing wrong with North Dakota,” said Mr. Norton. “I told corigress so a few days ago. North ‘Dakota had ‘been made a butt and a foke so long that 1 could stand it no Jonger. Much that has been reported in the east has been discolored and distorted until North Dakota had be- éome a synonim for disloyalty and Jack of patriotism. It was not just that the state should suffer for the wild statements of a few of its citi- zens or of men who were not even citizens. “I have been over the eastern half of the state, and I find that North Dakota is right on this war situation as usual. We caunot expect hers, so far remove? {rcu: ‘he center of things, the same hysterical demonsiration we nfid further east, ‘but there is a solid groundwork of patriotikm, and North Dakota is doing its bit.” Backs Car Over Baby Cart With .

STAFF OF SECOND GIVEN Colonel Frank White and Aides Mustered Into Federal Ser- oe vice This Afternoon The field and staff of the Second regiment was given Uncle Sam’s final sanction, still subject to certain reser- vations, this afternoon, when Colonel Frank White, Lieut. Col. T. ‘H. Tharal- son, Majors Charles I’. Mudgett and 3. RB. Geary and Battalion Adjutants . G. (Neumeier and Ernest A. Orchard were mustered into federal service by Lieut. Col. Douglass Settle, U.

Neumeier each of men. named” exceed the age limit specified forshis grade, but the war departnient,-as' reported Saturday, has waived this réquirement. The last hurdle which the fiéld and: staff of the ‘Second must ‘pass* is ‘section 74 of the national defense act of June 3, 1916, requiring that officers commis- sioned in the national guard shall have been in the active service of the guard or on the officers’ reserve list at the time commissioned, or that they shall be graduates of a recog- nized military school.

There and lieutenantcies to be filled in, the Second, and the ‘regiment is also short several hundred men. .‘There is no certainty as yet, where the: officers will come from, The men probably will be drawn from North Dakota’s draft quota. ‘Whether the regiment will be filled before it leaves the state for its training ‘camp at -Palo , Alto, Cal. is a matter. of conjecture, depend- ing very largely"upon the date when the regiment is. ered to camp. SECOND REGIMENT BAND. BENEFIT CONCERT SUCCESS Bismarckerg will long remember the strains of sweet music from the:29 in- infantry band, IN. D. N. G., and which under the direction of H. C. Bachman gave its first. formal concert in the capital city Saturday evening in the Auditorium. The members, in full uniform of their regimenf,- made a splendid ap- pearance, ‘and all were impressed by the fine quality of. men which go to ‘make up this organization. Just be- fore the curtain went up a male quar- tet, Composed of ‘PFfyate Harmon, Ma- jor C: B: Hunt, Lieut. Orchard and Lieut. Fraine, : sang, +“Rarewell, My Loved: One,” ang:Apey were followed by~a ‘sélection frém ‘the band. The curtain was raised at the opening strains of Meacham’s march, “Ameri- can Patrol.” The singing and band number seemed to'send a current of | patriotism through the audience. The wonderful playing of this Or- ganization of soldier-men, which has only been rehearsing for three weeks, was not lost on the representative audience. The solo and ensemble work exceeded all expectations. Many splen- did climaxes were noted. Director Bachman conducted with a master hand and got splendid results from his men. It would be hard to say what numbers the auditors liked best, as a deafening applause followed each se- ldction. Rossini’s overture, ‘‘Semira- mide,” was one of the ibig numbers, and was given with excellent finish. Lampe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was an- other great favorite. The male quartet was a big hit. For the first number they sang Parks’ “Until the Dawn,”, and the applause was so great that they had to respond to two encores. Even two encores were not enough for the audience, and they were repeatedly called back, ohly to come and ‘acknowledge the applause by bows. The other special number was the solo by Miss Bayliss, who sand Novello’s “Keep the Home Fires Burning.” She also responded to an encore. Rev. George Buzzelle of St. George's Episcopal church gave a most interest- ing and entertaining talk. He paid a high compliment to our soldiers and gave them a short message to be re- membered when in the heat of battle. The concert was one of the most successful given here.for some time, and too much praise cahnot be given to the boys of the Second regiment band and its director. NOTICE—SEALED BIDS.
