Will Organize Rifle Clubs.
Congressman George M. Young OF
North Dakota has arranged with the
war department for the organization
of rife club at Darlington, N. D.
The government furnishes rifles and
12O rounds of ammunition per man
yearly. This is the kind of military
instruction everyone should encour-
age, because it does the thing which
General Kitchener says is the most
important for soldier, teaches him
how to shoot, and at the same time
does not take him away from useful
employment in the various industries.
Mr.. Young says that he will help any
group of ten young men or more to
organize and obtain equipment from
the government. He calls particular
attention to the fact that rifle club
can be organized in almost any farm
neighborhood and in the small towns
and villages. He is particularly anxi-
GUS to give the farm boys an oppor-
tunity. All those interested should
write to Congressman George NJ.
Young, Washington, D. C.
Senator Gronna has returned from
North Dakota, where he spent few
days looking after his business inter-
ests, and it is expected that some ac-
tion will be taken on the matter of
the postmaster at Devils Lake.
Congressman George M. Young of
North Dakota, who made his an
nouncement for reelection to con-
gress last week, is sending out his
nominating petitions to the second
district to secure signatures.
Ensign R. M. Farrar of Wahpeton,
who has been with his ship in Mexi-
can waters most of the time since he
graduated from the Naval academy
last spring, is spending a few days
with his parents in Washington. En-
sign Farrar graduated when he was
few days over twenty years of age
and he is the second youngest officer
in the navy.

Of This Large Army.
San Antonio, Tex, April 26.-Added
interest was given the coming con.
ference between General Hugh L.
Scott, chief of staff, and General AL.
varo Obregon, minister of war for
the de facto government Of Mexico, by
the receipt of news that more Mexi.
can troops are being concentrated in

1t is realized that General Obregon,
minister Of war, has so disposed his
forces that by the time he meets Gen.
eral $cott, in diplomatic engage.
ment he will have behind him within
easy reach not fewer than 10000 men.
General Scott will be accompanied
to the border by General Funston.
The concentration of General Per-
shing's men has continued and the
punitive forces are backed together
in much shortened line. with the
main points of concentration at Casas
Grandes and Namiquipa.
Official Information placed the mum.
ber of de facto troops in and about
Torreon at about 10000. Military es-
Inmates of those in Sonora that could
be used against the Americans are
approximately $4,000, while another
5000 are in the state of Chihuahua.
Failure by General Obregon to con-
vince General Scott of the soundness
Of his diplomatic arguments could be
followed, army men here asserted,
by very practical use of this COM
bined force.
