It) is known, however, that the compan- ies will be divided into platoons after | the plan adopted by British officers and that an additional number of lieu- tenants wilNbe attached to each com-} pany Besides a headquarters company, a gun company and a supply » each regiment is to consist of twelve companies of men, It is REORGANIZATION OF AMERIGAN CONDITIONS PROPOSED BEST ADAPTED | rumored too that the companies will | each have a headquarters unit, 1 king each a individual organization, | but no confirmation of that pldn. has been received here.

A similar definite organ- ization of a divisioon will make three brigades while two or more divisions, with supplementary —_organigations such as those of a cavalry, engineers, will make up the corps. FUEL DICTATOR URGES SPERDING UP CAR SBRVICE Attention to the necessity of speed- ing up car movements is called by ‘Capt. 1. P.\ Baker, federal fuel admin- istrator,in an appeal issued today to ,the chairman of each district commit- tee in North Dakota. “Your commit- tee can be of great service in urging consignees to unload cars promptly upon receipt of them,” says Captain Baker. “You should give the matter all le publicity and work up public opinion so that it will become unpopular for anyone to delay the un- loading of cars, particularly of coal cars, or otherwise delay car move- ment. | “Your committee can also be of ser- vice by making the committee a point of communication between those who have complaints about car delinquen- cies and the railroad officials who ‘should correct them. Car-users are sometimes reluctant to make charges about delay against railroad men for fear of unpleasant consequences, and they might be willing to tell the com- mittee when they would not complain to othe agent. “You may find it advisable to assign a special man for this work, either a member of the committee or some spe-| cially fitted person. Do all in your, power to get action in this matter. Urge the instant unloading and move- ment of cars and work nights, Sun- days and holidays — anything to empty and move coal cars promptly. Several railroads in North Dakota are furnishing one car when three should be furnished simply because of tardi-| ss and neglect on the part of car- ~ WHAT HAPPENED + TO GUARD FUND N. C. Larson, a Max subscriber to The Bismarck Tribune, writes with an inquiry as to what has been done with the chaplain’'s fund for the Second regiment, raised last fall by Chaplain H. C. Markley, and which Mr. Larson | has gathered from newspaper re-; 1 amounted to about $8,000. Mr. Larson is a contributor to the fund. “There is no Second North Dakota regiment now existing,” writes Mr.! Larson. “Will you please tell the pub- lic in your paper what was done with the money collected by Mr. Markley. 4 > eee“) Jen in Training ighting the only duty of a IGier, end exposure to bullets is seriov: pesure to ail ypness. and stiff muscles, strains blgne = penetrates Generous sized bottler, e+ 25ce, 50c-. $1.00. I do not doubt in ‘the least that the money Was Used in a good cause, bur the public ought to know where it went, and you are authorized and re- quested to publish tis letter of in- quiry in your paper.” Cuaplain Mariuey, in Bismarck just berore tus departure tor Camp Green, and after the qismembering of the Second regiment, anticipated this na- ‘tural anxiety on the part of contribu: "tors by advising The ‘rribune that the large tund which he had gathered for his.' regiment would be pro-rated among tne various units of the unfort- unate Second. This he regarded ug en- |; tirely practical, inasmucn as the vari ous uuits were retained intact, and comparatively tew or the men assign- ed as individuals to other commands. “1 intend to personally become re-|' sponsible tor the distrivution of this money and to make tne best possible use ot it,’ said the ngnting cnaplain. how he has accomplished that pur pose cannot be immediately determ ined. The probabilities are that Chap- lain Markley next will be heard from in France. ‘The ‘lribune will make an ettort to reach him there, and it is contident that Rev. Markley will be glad to turnisn a complete accounting which will satisfy everyone that the boys of the Smashed Second, wher- ever they may be, have enjoyed the benefits of tne big fund raised in their behalf by loyal Dakotans.

GERMAN BORN, 53, WOULD FIGHT FOR WORLD DEMOCRACY “T was born in Germany; I’ve got dozens of relatives over there fighting {for the kaiser, and I'll soon have four boys there fighting for Uncle Sami. I’m 53 years old, and (ve tried three times to get into this war, and I expect to keep on trying until they take me. In the meantime I'm going up-and down this country telling men to get into this war.

At present she is bringing her tal-| ents i this regard into play to fore- cast events that will follow the en- trance of ‘the: United States into the Enropeéas, war, s furope is filled with dying races— races from whom vigor has departed because of the centuries of inter- marrying among families, and the American people, young, sturdy, full of | ambition, enthusiastic, will be the; means of breeding a new race in Eu- rope.” This is the prediction of the famous French star of musical comedy who is coming to the Auditorium on Jan. | 1, at the head of her own gorgeous: production “Follow Me,” with which she scored a sensational success at the Casino, Broadway, New York, last season. “Hereafter Americans and Europeans, especially with the English and the French,” says the actress, “will not be confined to the union of millionaires’ daughters with noblemen. Your troops, splendid, ' vigorous young men of the common j people, will mate with French and Brit- ish girls, and in natural sequense, the women of their families will be at- tracted to the men of our European countries, and from the battlefields. of this terrible war vill rise a new race. It is inevitable.” Miss Held, whose home in Pari which is directly opposite the palace of the president of France, has been used as a hospital, and who has serv- ed as a nurse and “done her bit” in many ways before she returned to America, says she looks for the wom- en of the United States to be powerful factors in carrying on the great work which will follow now after the sending of troops across the water. , tachment.
