MUST STORM THE FORTS.
It Is Not Good Tactics For an Army to
Pass Around Them.

It Is Not Good Tactics For an Army to
Pass Around Them.
Why not so around a fort instead Of
trying to storm it? Why not circle the
ramparts and proceed swiftly onward
with the army intact. leaving the SOL
diers in the fort, after a I'M Of
speaking, holding the sack as we'll as
the fort?
An officer in the cavalry of the Unit
ed States army explained why such
veranda strategy isn't used and why it
cannot be used.
IF it is a mountainous country the
fort would be placed in the pass, the
only road through which an invading
army could travel" he explained.
"There would be no fertilization on
| either side. but it would be impossible
to move an army with it's guns and
| supplies over the mountains. A single
| man would have a hard time making
the trip.
Suppose the country We're level and
the forts were forty or fifty miles apart.
In that case it apparently would be
easy for the army to pass between the
strongholds. The army tries it. The
defenders of the country throw up
field Notifications between the forts.
Behind every rock and roll in the
ground Il man with a gun is hidden.
Rifle pits are dug hastily. The invaders
encounter opposition. but perhaps they
sweep on.
Then this would happen: The forces
from the forts would sweep out across
the rear and cut off the base Of sup
plies. The invaders would be without
food. and the men would have no time
for sleep.
I'm two days the organization would
be destroyed. and the enemy's cavalry
approaching from the real would cut
the invaders to bits. Soldiers without
food and denied sleep can't fight. Men
remember their discipline best on full
stomachs. An army cut Off from its
base of supplies would fall apart and
be an easy prey for a much smaller
force.
1T is better to take the fort if pos.
sible. The communication with the
rear. where the supplies are, is thus IN.
interrupted, and most of the opposing
force is driven ahead.'-Kansas City

equal suffrage was of especial inter

voters of N. D. should cast their bal
lots in favor of the proposed amend
ment because it would be to the best
interests of the state, the individual
woman, and the home. The negative
contended that equal suffrage was
unnecessary, that the women die

Aggies and Nebraska, each n OF
which had gone through the season
without a defeat. And besides those
there was Michigan, who's late season

there were Harvard, Washington and
Jefferson, Pennsylvania state, Car

and surely as many in the east, who
is going to be ~foolhardy enough to
try to arrange a championship
game. Match the "big nine" cham.

would arise a terrific oItcry, from
Michigan, Nebrska and Notre Dame
in the west and from Washington

arise. And each .Sof those teams
would have reason for its belief that

Want BASEBALL
"UNSCRAMbLED'
Reorganized Northern League
Looking to National Board.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Organized base
ball and two little fellows" suppos-
ed to operate under its all-powerful
wing, are near the parting of the
ways. Strong objections to the meth
DDS employed by the governing forces
have been registered by the Central
association, presided over by NJ. IL.
Justice, and the sentiments of that
official have been seconded by the
gentlement backing the Northern
league, of which John Burmeister is
chief executive.
Advices from cities in these circuits
have it that both leagues are plan
ming to champion the Federal cause
when the National Association of Mi
nor leagues meets in Omaha, Novem-
Der 10, II and IL.
President Justice, who is an Off
Ger of the national board of arbitra-
ton, asserts that the minors suffered
heavy financial losses this season,
owing to the falling off in drafts
heretofore filed by the higher leagues,
and he attributed this slump to the
fact that the. big fellows have laid

off, fearing the Federals would snap
up the future greats OF the ball field.
In Justices way of thinking, the rec
ognition of the outlaw organization
will be of great benefit to the clubs
of the A, B, G. and d classification
in putting the draft back on it's old
working basis.
The dissatisfaction rampant among
the Northern leaguers has not yet
reached the bursting point, but con.
ditions are pretty we'll jumbled, ac.
cording to dispatches from that sec.
ton.
This league was reorganiZed sew.
eral weeks ago, for a term of ten
years, and several changes in clubs
and ownerships were made, but there
remain a number of important prob.
lens which must be amicably adjust
ed by the national board before the
dove of peace will roost quietly on it's
perch.
"If the national board allows our
reorganization to stand we will have

dent Bnrmeister. with four Ameri.
a and four Canadian cities in the
fold. the league should operate sue
cessfully. The circuit as now outlin-
ed consists of Fargo and Grand
Forks. N. d.; Duluth, Mimi; Superi.
or, Wis; Winnipeg and St. Boniface,
Man., and Fort Williams and Port
Arthur, Onthur, Ont"
The Federal activities cut in on the
northern circuit, just as was the case
with every other minor body. The
FargO-MCorhead club was heavily
crlmped when Nick Allen jumped to
the Federals and there was a marked
falling off in attendance at Winona,
but in the main the other cities play
ed to good business.
Whether or not the National board
approves the personnel of the 1915
Northern circuit will be the bone of
contention at the Omaha conclave.
1t became known Yesterday that a
number OF the magnates who have in
vested in the circuit will favor the
Federal overtures in the event the
board frOwns on the r%eorganized
league.
