the field after three months OF
camp training.
In The practical needs OF any
large emergency. no doubt a long
or term would be requisite for the
training OF the masses who would
come forward as volunteers or, as
the national peril Intensified. might
be drafted. hut the fact remains
that the typical American-the

which We esteem as our character

from the citizen rookie TO the
efficient soldier within tho three

the Citizens Army's modest be-
einnings last Summer. have devot-
cd themselves To that phase OF
national preparedness.

be considered fairly represent

SO Pensylvania's rather quiet

in individual preparedness for its
citizens may throw some light or
such questions. NAM and Just

We Americans, in comparison with
belligerent Europeans. have any

can readily learn the discipline
which IL so vital to an army's
moral: whether our patriotism
is merely hysteria for the grand
old flag and whether N rich
and our poor. As some foreign
critics seem to believe. FAR only
for the Injuries and comforts they
can gain and nothing for the
country that provides them.
The first trNining camp OF what
Is now known as the Citizens
Army OF Pennsylvania was open
ed at LansdoWne, a suburb OF
Philadelphia, last summer after
two months of recruiting. Be-
fore the camp opened. common,
every DAY shirtslecve drills were
held on the various athletic fields
available in Philadelphia, and the
men wwho participated in them
were subject 10 constant ridiCule
from baseball players and other
athletics. It needed only the
establishment of the camp and the
rapid increase in enrolment 10
change totally the attitude OF the
general public.
The camp accommodations we're
for 200 citizens. Government
instruction was provided. The
number OF recruits who began
their real training with the open
ing OF the camp was only Is. But
scarcely n week was past be
fore the complete enrolment. POO
men were at work, earnestly,
whole heartedly.
The camp was planned for six
week-ends. the citizens serving

there rom Friday until Monday,
their employers meanwhile grant
ing them pay for full time al their
work. During the rest OF the
week. the recruits Of the camp
drilled every morning in the city
and so lost but little time in their
course OF instruction.
Inc change in the popular
attitude was so marked that, dur
ing the eXistencs OF the camp, as
many a. 10000 people came in a
single afternoon TO witness the
drilling of those 200 rockies. The
camp was continued. in the teeth
OF the oncoming Winter. up until
December 1. The extension OF
the movement throughout the
state has been, in large measure,
the outgrowth Of that small first
camp.
The plan OF the Citizens Army
organization proved very simple
and easy of execution once the
spirit OF patriotism was stirred.
In Philadelphia. many of the
largest business houses organic
ed their employees into companies
or regiments. These groups drill
ed regularly. either on the floor
spaces OF their respective bust
hess houses or in halls rented for
the purpose. The United States
government has detailed a numer-
Gus group OF non-commisSioned
officers under whose supervision
the drills proceed. one or more
drills go forward every night in
the week and. with the coming or
favorable weather. drills are be-
ing held every Sunday afternoon
in the Philadelphia suburbs. They
are attended by the rockies in
thousands and IL has become the
fashionable thing 10 motor TO the
drill grounds after church or 10

lunch.
An officers school is conducted
once a week. when men are in
structed in the command Of
squads, companies and regiments.
The patriotic call has been such
that IS answered by the high type
OF citizen; the young men enroll
ed take hold OF the work with a

them rapidly 10 efficiency.

The plan Of this Citizens Army
Is adapted TO the people of other

THE FIRST DELEGATES

The first delegates chosen to the
Republican National Convention are
those from Florida, where the State
convention was held on the ninth OF
February. Eight uninstructed dele
gates were selected and the conven-
ton adopted this resolution:
I'VE look with confidence to the
Republican National Convention to
nominate a presidential candidate
that will inspire and unity all patriot
ic citizens who believe in protection,
prosperity and preparedness and who
will secure for all Americans at homo
and abroad protection for life and
property"
The delegation from Florida is
said to be made up of representative
and responsible Republicans who may
be depended upon to find, in the field
of candidates, exactly the kind Of man
for a leader whom their resolution
describes. In fact, that is the kind OF
man whom all Republicans every
where wish to put at the head OF the
ticket this year. No other kind OF a
man can possibly win a nomination
in convention such as we shall have
this year. II will be convention free
from acrimony and scandal. 1t will be
animated by sincere and patriotic pur-
poses, shared alike by the first dele
gates to be chosen and by the last as
well.

FARQUHAR SELECTED TO
THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

A conference of the Republicans
of the Ninth congressional district
was held at Council Bluffs last Mon
day afternoon. C. A. Rawson, chair
man of the state central committee.
was present and party matters were
fully and freely discussed.
John H. Hess and Robert d. Wal
lace Of Council Bluffs were unani-
mously endorsed for district dele
gates to the republican national con-
vention at Chicago next June. Ar
thur Farquhar of this city and James
Wickersham of Villisca at the same
time were endorsed for the position
of district alternates.
The selection of Mr.. Farquhar
came as distinct surprise to him as
he was in no sense a candidate for
the position and was not present at
the conference. He may, however,
decide to allow his name to be put on
the primary ballot.
