Var Department Plans To
Have Each Company in
Readiness for Call
Banks Do Not Indicate
Trouble, but Merely for
Preparedness

Mexican war stock took g. sudden
bound at the capital Saturday morn
ing, when it was learned that Gov
ernor Burke had received from the
war department transportation blanks
for the conveying of the North Dakota
troops outside the state.
Col. J. H. Frame while in the city
accompanying Capt. G. H. Williams,
Eighteenth United States infantry, on
his tour Of inspection of the state
guardsmen, stated that these blanks
were being expected almost any
time. It has been the plan OF the
war department to have each regi-
ment completely equipped in case of
a call to arms.
The blanks received by the govern
or. according to the plan of the war
department, are to be mailed to each
commanding officer throughout the
state, accompanied by complete in
structions as to how to fill them out
in case Of an emergency. They are
to remain in an envelope in the field
desks of the various companies and
are not to be touched UNTIL the regi-
ment is ordered out.
While the receipt of these blanks
does not indicate that there is any
immediate danger of trouble with
Mexico, they do indicate that the war
department will not be lacking in pre-.
paredness in case it becomes neces-
sary to resort to the use of the or
ganiZed militia.

Every Man in City Should
Attend Big Convention
Next Week
Meetings viii Be Productive
Of Great Amount Of Good
in City

The Men and Religion Forward
Movement which is to hold a conven-
tion in Bismarck this coming week,
| is without doubt the great religious
movement which has swept over the
country in many years. The move
ment has behind it almost all the lead
Mig denominations, together with the
Y. NJ. G. A., and International Suday
School association. 1t is a united
movement upon the part of the Chris
tian men of America to point out the
great need and opportunity for reach.
ing men and boys for a better life
pattered after the Christ. Some things
stand out to make the movement.
First, the unity of effort in the move
ment is something which has not been
known before. Presbyterian and Meth
odist, COngregatlOnalist and Baptist,
Episcopalian and Evangelical-men of
a great variety of creeds are coming
together to emphasize the great truth
that is held in common regard to the
power of the Christ to redeem man.
kind. Nothing is more encouraging
than the way in which the movement
has gone forward with all these vari-
GUS elements in perfect accord.
The systematic plan of work laid
out, definite program, is something
that has not been undertaken in any
such way before. The Men and Re.
ligion Forward Movement offers a
program of work for men. The troub-
lie with the church in the past has
largely been that it did not have a
definite mans job to offer the men
in the church and the practical was
overshadowed by the emotional. This |
movement plans five great lines of
work for men in the Church of Christ |
These are Bible study, boys work,
evangelism, missions and social ser
vice. The energy of the whole move
ment has been concentrated upon de-
veloping interest and action along
these lines.
. One more thing is characteristic of
this movement and that is the sys.
tenn which is used to carry the mes
sage to the entire country. Ninety
cities were chosen in the country to
be visited by specialists in the diff.
ferent lines of work in which the
movement was interested. These cit
les carry the message by teams Of
men to othr cities throughout the
country and these to others and so on

touched with the great message.
