THE LESSON OF DEFEAT.
Battle Of Bull Run Aroused Fighting
Impulse in the North.
(Kansaa CITY STAR

American soldiers stand. nan for
man. as the greatest fighters in the
world today. This nation has nothing
&c fear from the disturbances through
out Europe ar the awakening Of the
Chinese in the far east. The italians
anese nor the Russians in Manchuria
never saw a single days fighting that
could equal that OF the Americans
fifty years 8 in their own civil war.
This same fighting spirit still exists
today. and when once aroused there
is no power that has been able to
destroy It.
"The real test Of soldiery is in tho
spirit of its retreats" said one of the
greatest military authorities a few
days ago. Every erm conducts itself
courageously in victory, but the real
temper Of fighting blood shows itself
The great retreats OF the American
c1vil war were never surpassed in
hghting annals. and 1t is interesting
on this anniversary to tote Just how
the great armies conducted themselves
in the moment OF despair.
Tie f1rst retreat in the civil war oc-
CURED fety years g this last sum
mer. 1t is n Of the most forlorn
spectacles in history. and yet it trans
formed itself almost maRically into a
iAsAtlNR Splr!t mat caused the old
World to gaze upon it in amazement.
1t was after the battle Of Bull Run.
when the soldiers Of the ~confederacy
dealt their first blow against the vol
unteers Of the union and sent them,
panic stricken. back to Washington.
1t a required forty hours for the
raw brigades to march from the ma.
tional capital to the first great hap.
tisma1 font at Manassas Junction, but
IT required only six hours for some OF
the regiments to return over the same
roads In the rout that followed the
breaking Of McDowell's lines, and 4
was that rout that made soldiers OF
them.
The greatest Iced that the south
eve did for American soldiery was t.
defeat the federal troops on that first
great battle ground and thus aroust
the fighting impulse that first gained
the awe. then the respect. and nov
THE fear Of the nations Of the world.

HARDY NOT 4 DRAMAT1sr.

The report was denied. and then re.

Thomas Hardy. who has never mixed

Mr.. Hardy unequivocally denied

PLAGUE
FROM THE BEEF
CATTLE
State Live Stock Sanitary
Board Commences Work
Under New Law

Eradication Of tuberculosis from
meat cattle in North Dakota will he
brought about by the state live stock
sanitary board which has appointed
DR.. W. F. Crewe Of Devils Lake and
DR.. E. S. Van Ees OF Fargo to take
charge OF the movement as laid down
by the Law passed by the legislative
assembly in its session. At a meeting
OF the board held in Bismarck furth-
er plans for the carrying out Of the
provisions Of the measure were made.
The fact tina We are limited to
an appropriation Of only $4,000 for
the biennial period still make the
work slow during the coming year
and a half" said A. A. vietch Of
Grand Forks. M OF the board mcm-
hers. THE movement is one. of
course. in which we must have the
assistance Of the stock owners, for
examination of the nature laid down
are made only upon the initiative Of
the owner who must make applica-
ton for the investigation. and who
will. in the event hat any Of his
stock Is adjudged to be so seriously
affected as to make killing necessary,
be partially reimbursed by the state
for his loss"
In the feature Of the law which
provides for the reimbursement Of
stock owners who may have tuber-
cultne cattle it is expected that the
greatest r -sults will be achieved. The
live stock board or it's agents appraise
the cattle that ma be ordered killed.
In cases of grade meat cows over .
years old. the maximum valuation is
fixed at $25. while grade meat cows
under that age are fixed at a maxi
mum Of SIS. Pure bred meat cattle
owe 2 years are fixed at a minimum
OF $50. while pure bred cattle under
2 years is fixed at a maximum Of $50.
There is a provision in the measure
under which the. stock owner. in the
event that he is not satisfied with the
appraisal. may make protest. Then
a board OF three appraisers will be
named. n member to be selected
by the board. n by the owner. and
the third to be named by the two
thus selected.
The voluntary feature Of the act,
under which stock owners may make
petition to the board for examinations
Of cattle. provides for certain agree
ments on the part Of the owner. He
agrees to segregate animals which
may be so ordered. sterilizes milk
taken from such cows. to add no cat
tie to a herd which reacts to the test.
and will use all precautions to guard
against spreading the disease.
