EUROPE LEARNS
SILENCE IN WAR
FROM JAPAN
CENSORSHIP OF NEWS LEAVE
PUBLIC IN DARK AS TO ARMY
MOVEMENTS. SHROUD OF MYS.
Terry ENVElOPS FIELD.

London, Aug. 1S.-While Japan has
borrowed most of her military sci,
ence from Europe, she taught the
west, in return, the enormous value
of secrecy in warfare. All of the
powers engaged in the European
death grapple have learned that les
son.
Reports from Belgium say that the
German prisoners have no regimentaI
insignia on their uniforms and have
been instructed to refuse information
as to what regiments they are at
tached
In 1870 the English newspapers
gave full account of the German and
French forces, where they were, and
what regiments composed each army
The commands and personality of all
the leading generals We're widely
known.
The armies engaged in the war the
ater in Western Hemisphere, except
perhaps, the Belgian, have folded a
shroud of mystery over the men who
will play the greatest parts in the
drama. The public knows almost
nothing about the commander in chief
of the French army. General Joseph
IJ. c. Joffre is not an advertising gen
eral Even the French people know
less about him than about almost any
other man who ever directed their
military machine.
Plans Only Guessed At.
The present dispositions of the
.conbatant forces, their movements
and plans are chiefly matters of
guess work. Experts can only surmise
that during the oppressive darkness
of suspense that fell upon Europe
with the first mobilization, the four
great armies of Germany France,
Austria and Russia have been moving
into the positions which those who
have theorized on the subject have
expected
The great mobilization appears to
have proved one fact-that even the
German organization, when put to the
test under real war conditions, could
not move as fast as expected. The
great swift battle on the French from.
tier which was due last week has not
yet begun so far as is known, or per
haps it may be beginning today
Not even the Japanese were able |
to cover their movements with such |
a cloud of secrecy as the millions of |
men now marching toward the great |

known

Arrangements Will Be Made For
the Use of the Armory.

At a banquet held year ago, at
tended by over 200 Bismarck citi
zens, plans for the establishment OF
Young Mems Association were dis
cussed. A committee was appointed
to carry the work further, but no &C.
tual results were ever accomplished
Another movement of the same kline
has just been started, and the indica-
tions are that it will result in a live
Y. M. A. being an actuality in Bis
marck.
The proposition as it is now being
worked out calls for an arrangement
between the new organization and
Company A, national guardsmen,
whereby the Y. M. A. will make its
home in the Armory. Dozens of men
are now boosting the plan, and the
boys Of Company A are giving their
hearty cooperation.

IS GIVEN 80 DAYS FOR
CANDY Store ROBBERY

Yesterday morning in city cour-
one young man was sentenced to 30
days in the county Jail or given the
privilege of paying fine Of 800, as
the result of the robbery Of the Cope
lin candy store Tuesday night. He
will serve out his sentence, and Sat
urday morning the rest of the boys
under arrest on the same charge will
be heard in juvenile court.
The names Of those arrested are
being withheld iby the Tribune be-
cause of the fact that all Of them are
young fellows who have chance to
make good. The one whose hearing
was held yesterday was sentenced on
the charge Of petty larceny, owing
to the desire of the complaining wit
ness to be as lenient as possible, but
Chief Downing stated last night that
the next case of petty larceny in the
city would be handled far less lem
iently.
"I'm determined to clean out the
rowdyism of this kind in Bismarck"
said Chief Downing last night, "and
it will go harder with the next bunch
that is caught. There has been too
much Of this petty larceny, and |
hope this case will serve as an ex-
ample"
