FARGO RECALLS DATE. Fargo, N. D., Oct. 3.—Sunday was | the first anniversary of the departure of Company B from North Dakota to} take Its place tn the great confllct. | The company left Fargo on September 29, 124. for Camp Greene, North Car- olina, with Capt, R. i. 1K. Colley in| charge. The men became a part of the 164th Infantry and after training at Camp Greene they were sent to Camp Mills and later to Camp Merritt in New Jersey and it was from that camp that they were sent overseas, The members landed in England Dec, 24 and on Christmas day many throughout the state received cable- grams of Christmas greeting telling of their safe arrival. They were sont within a week to France and it was shortly after the new gear that they started on their journey into France and to the trenches. [t was at this time that the company was broken up and members placed with various divisions. Tho parting caus- ed disappointment among many of the boys for thelr association had become: closo and very dear and the orders were followed with a few heart- aches but there was never any ques- tioning of the wisdom of such action. During the year of service 11 moambers of the company have given their lives, Private Arthur H.

In less than two hours and a hsif the proces sion of supply trucks and touring cars swooped down the hill to where the two brigades had at last ended their march. It was a quiet place, that small French town, when the Red Trian- gades’ headquarters with a mob of shrieking, frantic boys in, khaki trailing behind. The mob grew. At headquarters the “Y” man in charge jumped from the truck and made his way inside. “May we open shop?” he hurriedly demanded ef the dust-stained, fagged-out adjutant. “Hell, yes; you bet you can!” was the answer, and the gang of “y” workers went to ft.

It was a loud, emphatic yell, what’s more.

A young riot was the result. Those who could fight their way to the truck got a packet of cigarettes or a slab of smoking or chewing and fought their way out again. They did not wait to return to their billet for a smoke. The lucky {n- dividuals plumped down on tha curb and lit one right off the bat. Then, after two or three deep, soul- satisfying pulls at the cigarette, they plunged ‘back into the mob for to the “Y,” and they had wondered what became of that money. Now they saw. They weren't only cheering the “Y,” though, They were cheering, too, !f they didn’t know it, their families and friends who are the “Y's” backbone. An hour later the; Red Triangle was firmly established in those two French towns. The Roman Catho- lic church in one of the tawns gave the “Y” the use of an entire house it owned on the public square; In the other town the mayor gave the “Y" permission to open where it would. That evening two Red Triangle canteens were in full blast. { ON RED TRIANGLE PAPER - The two towns were queer to.see that Sunday. There were boys in khaki spread all over the place.
