HOW WAR MAPS
ARE MADE

Brlin. Jan. lin modern warfare,
and especially In the present world
conflict. accurate maps are the great
est auxiliary OF the armies and they
play far more important part in the
operations than the general public
knows. Without them success is Inn
possible.
These maps are worked out with
infinite care by special departments
OF the General Stats of the armies of
the different countries. Only officers
possessing special training and know
ledge are assigned to the work.
The first military Typographical bur-
eau was established by the General
Staff Of the Bayarian army nearly a
century ago under the direction of
General Won Naus, who also became
famous as a mathematician and daring
mountain climber. Other countries.
however, were slow to follow the ex-
ample Of Bavaria. In Prussia an ex-
act Typographical survey of the coun-
try was not undertaken by the General
Staff until 1862. About the same time
the leaders of the Austro- Hungarian
army became convinced that the maps
then in existence were not sufficient
for war. The Austrian Topographic
cal Bureau was organized in 1868 un-
der the direction of Capt. Julius Won
Payer. who later became famous as
an Attic explorer. France waited

still longer and as result. was badly
handicapped In the war Of 1901 by
the lack Of accurate maps. In this
war IL is said the French Officers were
supplied with maps OF Germany. but
none OF France.
During the last forty years all
countries are using the same system
in the production OF the General Stan
Maps. The method seems complicat-
ed. but is simple enough. First the
country is divided into triangles, the
cornors of which are marked by
church steeples. high poles. trees and
other landmarks. Every one of these
triangles then is surveyed separately
and again divided up into smaller tri.
angles. The cornors of these sub-divi-
slons are marked by small square
granite blocks which arc sunk into
the ground so that only their tops are
visible.
After the subdivisions have been
laid out and marked the officers en-
trusted with the work draw large
maps of every one of them. These
maps show the minutest details of the
landscape and are then Joined toy
ether and reproduced on a smaller
scale by expert draughtsmen. In this
manner an exact Typographical picture
of the large triangles, and finally of
the whole country is obtained
The General Staff speak language
Of their own. This language is very
simple. but must of course, be un-
derstood. Every object in the terri.
tory covered by the maps is shown by
certain signs. Pine woods are marked
by little sharp cones, other woods and
trees by groups of small circles and

dots. elevations by curves which show
the heights OF the hills. roads by
double and foot paths by single lines.
There are also certain signs for
church steeples. mills. ponds. brooks.
and isolated farm houses. Nothing
is missing and a man looking at one
Of these maps and understanding 1t
has the impression Of flying over the
territory and looking down upon 1t
from a height.
All maps of the General Staff have
to be absolutely correct. They not
only form the basis for movements of
troops. but also have to be used by
the artillery in ascertaining the dis
tances and finding the range OF the
positions of the enemy. In this res.
pect the German maps have become
world famous, as they are drawn with
the proverbial German thoroughness.

GOVERNMENT SETS
RABIES CONFERENCE

So serious is the menace of rabies
and Rocky Mountain spotted fever
in the west that Surgeon General Ru-
pert Blue of the federal health de-
partment in response to- requests from
DR.. T. B. Beatty, secretary of the Utah
state board of health, representing not
only this state but other western COM
monwealths has called a conference of
state and territorial health authorities
This is the second conference of
the kind to be called" said DR.. Eratty.
1.-The first was held in San Franc isco
1t requires the request of five states
to convince the federal government OF
the necessity of such a conference. We
had no difficulty in meeting this re-
quirement. The coming session is
called for all the states west of the
Mississippi river"
Surgeon Blues wire to DR.. Beatty
said:
In compliance with your request ]
have issued a call for conference OF
state and territorial health authorities
at Salt Lake. February to consider
the rabies, Rocky Mountain spotted
fever and other public health matters.
ION account Of the importance to
the situation, l deem 1t necessary to
give the various states sufficient time
to send delegates. This is the reason
for placing the date later than your
communication requested.
Governor William Spry is in receipt
OF the following telegram from Gov.
Ernmitt D. Boyle of Nevada:
"A conference of all county, state
and federal officials has been called to
be held at Winnemucce Tuesday, Janu-
airy II, at 10 a. M, to discuss the mat
ter of rabies. Will you be represent
ed that the measures which we take
and the reasons for them may be
known to you? We believe that uni
foImity of state action is exceedingly
desirable"
Would Encourage Nevada.
While the governor has not had
time to take up this proposition" said
John X. Hardy, utah is going to en-
courage the Nevada folk in every way.
We want to go ahead and have
their meeting, get their facts in shape
and then appoint their representatives
to come to the meeting called by Sur
geon General Blue.
1--WE. appreciate the interest taken
by Governor Boyle. If it appears ad-
visable, there is no doubt Utah will en-
deavor to make arrangements to send
man to Winnemucca, but it appears
that the Nevada authorities had not
learned of federal plans for confer
ence of the authorities of all the
western states"

FRAZIER OUTLINES IS
SUES OF CAMPAIGN

Lowry hill, should rlghtfully
belong to the farmers if justice
was properly exercised. State
owned terminal elevators, the
development of manufactures
for manufacturing the raw pro-
ducts, would not only elimi-
nate the costs of transportation
and build up the wealth of the
state by keeping/ it's products
within its borders, but en-
courage the farming industry
j.! and its followers and give en-
ployment to great many
more people. There would al
so be a possibility of of fair
play that is not now attairable
by the transactions of business
under the laws of another
state.
Mr.. Frazier advised the
adoption of a civil service sys-
tenn in state appointments.
Politics at present is a worm
in the felt, always has been
and always will be so long as
it is permitted to exist. Mr..
Frazier's statement that he re-
Gently met a man who had just
been appointed game warden
at a salary of 500 a month and
was then out campaigning, was
the cause of loud applause. Mr..
Frazier said he had already re-
ceived several letters from ap-
plicants for positions, one in
particular, from a man linen.
tioning no names) who would
guarantee that he could run
the state penitentiary at a
salary of $185 a, month, 500
less than the present salary,
and allow no prisoners to es-
cape, and the proposition pleas
ed the audience when the
speaker added that the closing
chapter read" if you can ina
CINE anyone who could use the
other $780," The letter was
answered without a promise,
but with the assurance that
only qualifications and eficien-
cy would be considered in max
ing appointments.
Mr.. Frazier said the Good
Government league was after
the Nonpartisan League hot
footed, with plenty of money.
The system in use is through
the mails and if anyone in the
audience received a circular at
lacking the Nonpartisan Lea
que candidates he would know
from whence it came, The
circulars charge the league
with being a political affair,
that it would bankrupt the
state if it gets control of af-
fairs. 1t urges that it was all
right for the farmers to organ
ize but they had no right to
get into politics. In comment,
ing on those remarks, Mr.
Frazier added: 1T was alright
for the other fellows to be in
politics. The other fellows
have had charge of state affairs
for twenty years and if those
who have been in charge dur
ing that time had done as much
for good government as the
farmers did in the twenty days
before the primaries there
would never have been any
cause calling for a Nonpartisan
League-and consequently no
league would exist.
Speaking of exboritant
freight rates, Mr. Frazier con-
tended that that is one of the
things that is retarding the
development of the Ignite coal
industries in North Dakota.
There is enough Ignite in
North Dakota to give every

Minot last week, wherein Lynn
]. Frazier, candidate for COVER
nor, was the principal speaker,
was one of the biggest and
most enthusiastic political
gatherings euer held in the
Magic City.
sMr. Frazier, in his straight
from . the : shoulder manner,
told the voters what he stood
for and what the Nonpartisan
League stood for. In it's re-
sumo of the meeting, the Mi
not Messenger has the follow
ing to say:
Mr.. Frazier devoted very lit
tie time to greeting the audi
ence, although he had the
ability to do so if he felt so dis
posed. It was seen at a glance
that he was full of business
and out for business for the
entire league ticket. He open
ed his subject after a few brief
remarks, by saying there is
more room for farmers in
North Dakota, if things are
properly adjusted and we must
keep the farmers products in
this state, manufacture them
into prepared products and cut
out the million middle men.
He contended that North Da-
kota would be a poor state if it
cannot provide a way to cut
out the money gobblers of the
twin cities, but it will be a
difficult task. They have
money and the laws back of
them. The laws can be chang
ed, he said, but the governor
alone has little power unless
he has with him the legislature
and the supreme court. the
latter to pass upon the validity
of every law made by the
legislature. Mr.. Frazier illus
trated the graft methods being
used in the twin cities, Chi
cago and New York in dealing
with the products of North Da-
kota farmers, the best wheat
raised in the world, and yet
those methods, he declared,
conformed with the law in
twisted and deceptive forms,
and the methods, cannot be
remedied until the laws are
changed. Nearly every man
la North Dakota knows what
happens with the products
sent to the cities and the small
results that are returned to
fhe farmers, while the commits
sion men grow rich. But pub
lie sentiment is being aroused,
said Mr.. Frazier, and once
aroused to a high pitch it is
powerful. It can be made
strong enough to put the bulls
and bears in Minneapolis out
of business, and that is just the
aim of the league for which he
was speaking. The beginning
of it's task will be accomplish;
ed on election day by the
choice of the entire Non arti-
san state ticket.
North Dakota grain is reserv-
ed by the board of trade in
Minneapolis, manufactured in
to products and shipped abroad
bearing Minnesota labels. The

no credit for his toll. He is
poorly paid for his product.
