fort Lincoln Plan
CONGRESSMAN FROM THIS STATE
WILL HAVE CONFERENCE
WITH PRESIDENT.

The North Dakota delegation in
congress will have a conference with
President Wilson today according to
a dispatch from Washington relative
to the proposed abandonment of Fort
Lincoln. A plan Of reorganization of
the army which has been under way
for several months includes the aban-
donment of this port and the sending
of the soldiers stationed there to 9th
er parts Of the country.
The plan Of abandoning a number
of army posts, which were believed to
have lost their usefulness was start
ed under Secretary of War Stimson.
The object was to reduce the cost of
maintainence and to increase the eff
cheney and availability of the men by
transferring them to other posts.
Fort Lincoln which is situated a
short distance from Bismarck, has
been maintained as a military post
for many years. The proposition of
abandoning it has met with decided
opposition ON the part of the citizens
in that vicinity especially. The mem
bers of the North Dakota delegation
will endeavor to convince the presi-
dent that the retention of the post is
necessary.
