WAR PRODUCES
MANY CHANGES IN
ARMY OF KAISER
Life in the Trenches More
Democratic Than That in
Barracks; Officers and

,,..oeIaied Press Correspondence,

Berlin. Nov. THE German army
Is a very human institution just now.
The iron discipline OF the barracks
and the caste spirit which divides the
officer from the rank and file are
not so much In evidence.
In one OF the better restaurants of
Berlin sat two officers of the line.
The worn look OF the field gray uni
form Of one showed that he had seen
service. That the other had been ut
the front was made clear by a BAN
dage over his head.
Following an animated recital the
officer in the worn uniform picked up
a bundle which had fallen beside him
on the table and proceeded TO- unwrap
six mouthorgans.

asked to explain to what extent life in
the barracks resembled life in the fir

To the remark that hunger comes

life. the private commented:
THAT Is so, of course. But the Of

1t would have served no purpose TO
argue this point with the man so an
other question was asked.
This Is the time when everybody
must do his duty" replied the man.

and that duty right now seems to be

"a sort of democracy Of death, .
suggested the interviewer.
But the word democracy" Is In
Germany principally associated with
the social democrats German
socialist party For that reason the
private had. nothing moro to say.

ing. II seems TO be as much the duty
Of the soldier TO be silent as to fight
There is no doubt that the Ger
man army In the field is more lib
eral institution than the German
army in the barracks. One reads al
most daily Of men carrying their Of
ficers to the dressing station behind
the trench or firing line. and Of off
GERS who after the fighting is over
make frantic effort TO succor their
wounded men. Letters which speak
of officers dividing their parcels from
home with their men have ceased to
be q novelty.
on the whole it is a rare thing for
a German private TO get the iron
cross OF the second and first classes
together. SO far there are three
eases: Enfantrist Maurer SLIDER. OF
Quefurth: Reserve Corporal Carl
Frank. Of Sinsheim, and Infantrist
Henry Mueller. of Geestemuende. the
latter also earning promotion to ser
geant,
Mueller serves with a machine gun
section. In Il recent engagement the
crew Of the section was shot down.
alone escaping. Instead OF
seeking cover Mueller carried his
corporal into a safe place
behind the firing line, and then re-
turned to the machine gun, which he
began to work with such efficiency
that within a few moments he had
killed and wounded nearly all the
men in two of the enemys trenches.

A Bunch Of Live Business Men Make
q Visit to Milbank

Last Tuesday on schedule
time, 1915 pm, the ST. Pau
Commerce Association train
pulled into Milbank, and the
tourists marched up Main street
to third avenue, preceded by the
Minnesota state band, which
accompanied the train on the
weeks trip, and which gave
several selections while in town
A moving picture camera was
an accompaniment of the party.
and the scene at the depot while
the train was here was put on
the screen, and will be exhibited
at the Bentley Grand in the
course of a couple of weeks.
The Eagle band of this city
came out to greet the St. Paul
boosters and aid in giving them
hearty welcome.
The train consisted of eleven
cars, including diner and bag
gage car, all finely appointed,
with barber apartment and all
other conveniences of pres
ent day travelling. The Pioneer
Press and Dispatch and the
Daily News both get out type
written daily on copying press
on the train, which has on tele-
phone apparatus which may be
attached to the wires at any OF
the stoppings places. A regu.
lar schedule of time for the
whole week had been arranged
for the train, the stops in the
smaller towns being shorter,
and the more important places
appointed for night stops.
One Of the things that partic-
ularly attracted the attention
and commendation of the visi-
tors while here was CARLOAD OF
cabbage and caullflower, brought
in by Hans Brokema The
heads were large and hard, and
caulihower was as fine as could
be seen anywhere. The stuff was
purchased by the travellers to be
served on the diner. The St.
Paul boosters are fine bunch OF
fellows and the excursion was
certainly good thing as an ad
yertisement for that city and a
help in getting it's wholesale
business men in close touch with
the towns and people with whom
they have SO large trade.

ed the bridge with their auto on
their way from Milbank to Big

ed to be seriously hurt, had his
hip dislocated, and had to be
carried to the Coons auto, while
all were scratched, bruised and
bleeding. Mr. Coons acting the
part of the good Samaritan,
carried the unfortunate men to
their home and a doctor was
summoned. The brother who
was on a visit to his home from
White Rock, where he is farm
ing, was the owner of the
machine which he was driving at
the time Of the accident and he
admits he was going at too rapid
rate for the condition of the
road.

Hartford Beach

The New Resort on Big Stone Lake
A Delightful Place
The purchase and permanent
improv ement by Iowa parties Of
that well known and admired
beauty spot on the shores Of Big
Stone Lake known as Hartford,
which has recently taken place,
will result in making this partic-
ular point on the lake one of the
most popular summer resorts IN
the northwest. The grounds
have long been recognized as a
favorite camping and picnic
place, but heretofore there has
been little to attract or please
visitors except the natural beau
ty of the location, including the
finest beach on the lake. The
splendid natural advantages of
the place have been seized by
Iowa parties, who are interested
in summer resorts in that state.
and they have purchased the
grounds and are making the
place into one of the most beauti
full summer resorts in the north
west. A fine summer hotel OF
forty rooms named "The Inn
has been erected, and those who
seek rest and recreation in fish
ing at this favorite spot, now
have an opportunity of enjoying
the advantages of unsurpassed
hotel accommodations. The
building has 1140 feet of porch
connected with it, and every
sleeping room has an outside
door leading to the porch as well
as the door to the corridor, and
by unique arrangement the
rooms are supplied with hot and
cold water. While the building
itself is of the summer hotel
character, light and airy, the
furniture is Of the best, such as
can only be found in first-class
hOstelries.
AS an attraction to the place
the management has erected a
fine dancing pavilion AZ by 81
feetin size, with fine maple floor
that is unsurpassed anywhere
in the northwest, and at present
the Milbank orchestra goes up
there twice week, on Tuesdays
and Fridays, and furnishes
music for evening dances.
Under the pavilion is a garage
that will shelter "a cars, SO that
those reaching the place by auto
have good accommodations for
their machines.
A baseball diamond has been
provided on the grounds and
some good games are being
scheduled for different dates
during the summer, and this
will be an ideal place to enjoy
this sport, as we'll as to take 10
the fishing and boating which
makes a stay at Hartford
Beach an outing that is conduc-
i've to health and pleasure.
The management recognizes
the fact thata summer resort,
cannot long be maintained as
desirable place where intoxicant
are permitted and these will not
be allowed on the grounds, and
every effort will be made to keep
the environs in a healthy con
dition, physically and morally,
so that Hartford Beach will be
a good place to go to at any and
all times.
The grounds for this attrac-
tive summer resort have been
plated, lots staked off and prices
fixed so that lots may be secured
for the erection Of cottages at
any time by applying to Mr.. F.
H. Ferguson or Mr.. H. T. Gregg,
proprietor of the Inn. They
will be pleased to show plat OF
lots at any time or help in any
way those desiring to secure
summer home at this attractive
place.
