Subscriptions closed at noon Friday with over 96 percent oversubscription. North Dakota raised between 2.5 and 2 million, while agricultural districts lagged. Congress passed a war budget of 4.281 billion, funding merchant marine at 750.9 million as food control debates continue. The espionage bill cleared, censorship dropped. news leaks about the fleet are under investigation. The draft registration extended then set to proceed with proportional drawing, and allied fronts report varied progress with Greece and Russia making top news.

The Normanden defends its stance on March 3 1916 noting it still opposes nonpartisan league control by non farmers. It credits itself for exposing flawed league policies while agreeing with The Herald on several subjects. War time urgency overrides domestic disputes and Townley’s actions are judged in this broader context.
The piece argues that treasonous talk should lead to arrest by public authorities, not mob violence. It defends lawfully using force against disorder, burglars, murderers, and those resisting conscription, while questioning why Townley is not treated the same for treason. The Herald is blamed for lacking support.
A veteran recalls a French brigade HQ visit during a frontline transfer in France. He describes cheeky humor, language quirks, and a lunch with omelet and coffee as British and French troops exchange banter and stake a claim on shared ground.
The text presents garbled dialogue about soldiers in France, mentioning a sergeant and a Boohe remark. It reads as a fragmented wartime note with unclear events, characters, and actions, lacking coherent narrative or verifiable details.
The Grand Forks Military band will perform its fourth concert Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The program includes "A Broken Don" and a one-step intermission piece.
Britain weighs clothing rationing as fashion and wool imports strain wartime needs. Wool stocks are government controlled, with prompts to assign individual annual clothing shares to cover cold weather while curbing excess dress and luxury use.
