LaMoure. N. D., Sept. 19.-Atty.
Gen. William LANCER, speaking at a
celebration in honor of LaMoure
county's draft men Tuesday. made
the occasion an opportunity for voic-
ing a defense of Gov. Lynn j.
FfaZier's record as relates to
patriotism, brought into question by
the Minot u. G. T. resolutions call
ing on the executive to refrain from
any act that would tend to add to
the shame and humiliation" brought
upon the people of the state.
That the Corporation kept press"
only is voicing disapproval Of Gov
ernor Frazier's attitude, and that
attorneys who have in the past
prostituted their honor are now go
ing about under the cloak Of
to mislead the public concerning this
man"-the governor-was the burden
OF Mr.. Langer's charges.
The defense Of the governor by the
attorney general centered around the
publication of the now famous Minot
u. G. T. resolutions condemning
United States Senator Gronna and
certain actions by the governor of
this state. In part, Mr.. LANCER
said:
Governor Frazier is your governor
the governor OF and for the COM
mon people-and that my friends Is
why the corporation kept press and
the corporation fed attorneys do not
like him. If Governor Frazier were
a man whom they could cajole,
handle or order about then there
would be no cry of giving without
stint'-no concocted and concerted
attempt to make the people of this
state believe that he is an ally of
the I. w. w. or that he had betray-
ed a trust; but it is a fact that he

By ARTHUR s. DRAPER

Somewhere in France, July 10
Every British soldier knows the bull
ring
The veterans remember II as the
place in France where the sergeant
majors voice sounds like the roar OF a
lion, where the drill masters consider
their charges untiring.
The 'bull ring" is the postgraduate
school Of the British army, and It's
short course is so strenuous its pupils
pass up TO their places in the trenches
with a sigh of relief and a strong con-
viction they are off on holiday. UT
the course might be compared with the
short final period of exacting coaching
in which tracing polish" is put on a
boats crew.
The bull ring" is only one OF the
several graduate schools run on similar
lines. These are the places where the
men are put through ordinary parade
movements in close order, in open or
der. in bayonet fighting, musketry and
bombine. There is not vacant mo-
nent In which TO be bored.

their immense and overwhelming SUI

Camp Curriculum Affected
BY Changes at the Front

Many of the instructors at the bull
ring" are officers, commissioned and
non-commissioned. who have been
wounded In this war and are now not
ft for fighting. There is a close liaison
between the front and the training
camp. Any change in the fighting con-
ditions brings about a quick switch IN
the training camp curriculum. Inc
British are quick TO grasp these
changes and TO adapt themselves TO the
new requirements; they do not hesl-
tate 10 avail themselves of the lessons
taught by the enemy and to turn his
weapon upon himself.
Some time ago ! read sharp criti-
cism in The Tribune Of the number Of
machine guns in the American army,
but, although the number was wholly
inadequate, IL was no smaller proper
tionately than that Of Britain's origi-
nal expeditionary force. But TO day
there Is no shortage of rapid-hre guns
in the British army. II there had
been il would have been absolutely inn
possible for Haig's men 70 have worked
forward from Arras and hold their
gains.
In the machine-gun school, clo"e by
the dull ring" the men are taught
the lessons learned in the latest fight
ing. They learn the fine points OF
their own weapon, they study gun en-
placements and fire at targets at vari-
Gus ranges. Every member OF a gun
team comes out Of the school a past
master Of his particular job.

Instructor the Last Word
In Bayonet Fighting

The bayonet is still handy weapon
in close conflict. In the bull ring
is a sergeant major who is the last
word in the handling of bayonet. He
is short, chunky Scotsman with a
deep chest and powerful voice. He is
as quick as a cat and as strong as
lion. He is combination of wrestler,
boxer and jiu jitsu expert. And above
all he knows how to teach.
First he demonstrated how to make
a straight thrust, then an uppercut to
the jaw, then how to withdraw the
bayonet from the body of the enemy
and finally the way to parry his own
offensive methods. He used a mop
handle on his opponent and then per-
mitted his opponent to tackle him with
cold steel No fencer could cut, thrust
and parry quicker than this little Scots
man, who taught from experience
gained in actual battle. As he beat his
killed sides and roared his orders the
soldiers seemed to become infected
with his skill and power. Within a
short time they were drilling with a
rhythmic precision that spoke well for
the master and brought smiles to the
faces of the admiring officers.
The advantages of completing train
ing before leaving for the front were
recognized early in the war, and the
system has grown from that of impart-
ing a little technical knowledge likely
to be Of value under the special condi-
tions at the front to an essential
branch of the soldiers education. This
short but important course of train
ing is designed partly to maintain a
high degree of discipline and physical
fitness and partly to ensure that a suf-
ficiently high standard of efficiency is
reached before the men leave for the

London, July 2l.-The forthcoming
marriage between Prince Alexander Of
Battenberg, as we may still call him,
and Lady Irene Denison, daughter Of
the Earl Of Londesborough, is not only
the romance Of the British seasor-it
marks an epoch in the long annals Of
the British throne. Of all the changes
now proceeding from Buckingham Pal

Queen Victoria's day there were two
Battenberg princes-Henry. who died
in West Africa, in the arms of Bishop
Taylor Smith, now chaplain general of

Prussia and soon after the outbreak
of war retired from the Board Of Adj
miralty. A son Of Louis recently mar
red the Countess NADIA Torby, daugh-
ter of the Grand Duke Michael of
Russia now living in England. but
Alexander, the latest bridegroom, Is

veins one drop Of royal blood, is de-
parture that should make Queen
Victoria turn in her grave.
That exacting ruler did not mind
princesses uniting with peers. The
Duchess of Argyll was Princess Lou
Use and the Duchess of Fife is to-day
Princess Royal of England. But for
a prince to marry beneath him. that
was strictly forbidden. At court the
Duke of Cambridge, whose wife was
Miss Fairbrother, remains simply u
bachelor.
No Legal Bar to Such Unions
Not that there has ever been any
legal bar to such unions. The oft quot
cd marriage act of 1772 prohibits men,
bers of the royal family under the age
of twenty-five years from marrying
without the sovereign's consent, given
under the Great Seal. After that age
there must be a years notice to the
Privy Council and also the assent of
Parliament. Oppressive as these re-
strictions may undoubtedly be, they
do not, in themselves, exclude either a
peers daughter or an actress, or any
other lady-say an Indian princess. a
leader of society in Canada or in Wash
ington or New York-provided always
that the necessary consents are OBJ
tanned And in the present case the
King has in fact approved of Lady Irene
Denison. But it is many generations
since such an alliance has been re-
corded.

Theories Upset
By Submarine

The submarine IN its attack on COM
merce is no respecter Of theories or
pcrsonages. The most widely accept
ed arguments, the most highly placed
and distinguished people, are disturbed
by it. There 1t is--a new and revo-
lutionary fact Of the utmost impor-
lance; possibly next year, certainly IL
the war continues long enough, the
decisive fact.
Alas. complacency! Alas, content
ment! Alas, the highest authorities!
Alas, the widely-accepted argument!
This mutiDous newcomer cares moth
ing for them. He is the embodi-
ment Of = War-Thought, ruthless, in
exorable, subversive, deadly. He can
not be met except by other war
thoughts, new, audacious, hazardous,
adapted to the vast war problem Of to-
day in its integrity.
Mechanical inventions are very good.
and there is no limit to the search that
should be made for them. Occasionally
a new discovery creates a new war
thought. But invention should more
often be the child of war-perception
than its parent. War genius should de-
fine the need, and scientific ingenuity
can then meet it. Scientific ingenuity
Is no more substitute for true war
thought than is good seamanship or fine
gunnery or exemplary discipline or
tireless devotion. All these are the
necessary members Of the body. They
cannot fill the void of the soul. Neither.
OF the other hand, let me hasten to add,
is true war plan or policy any use
without the apparatus TO carry it on.
and to carry it through. 1t is a mere
bodiless spirit seeking vainly for cor
poreal manifestation.
Let US try to discern clearly what is
the real need Of the British navy in
this present very grave year of our
fate. 1t is not a lengthy or laborious
quest. 1t does not require a lot OF
learned and technical phrases TO ex-
plain. Nor need We balance and an
alyze the varying views Of high au-
thorites.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-22

A lengthy discussion has recently
taken place in the columns OF Tine
Times" on the question of whether the
navy cannot attack the enemy, aud so
help actively to win the war, while
time remains.
Those who are in favor of what IS
called "a naval offensive" always argue
as IL that meant that we should send
our Grand Fleet to lombard the Ger
man ports and stop their submarines
coming in and out of them.
It is not very difficult for the sdvo-
Gates of a purely defensive naval pol
icy to show the folly of such pro-
ceeding. They point to the vital i'm
portance to us of our Grand Fleet,
and how easily its great 100000
pound vessels can be sunk by torpedoes
or blown up by mines, and how un-
equal is the contest between a modern
gun ashore and a valuable ship.
They explain-snd it never can be
explained too often-that from its dis
tant bases in our northern waters the
British battle feet dominates the sur
face of the seas in every quarter Of
the globe, that it has hitherto pro-
tected this island from invasion, has
enabled It to carry on an immense sea-
borne trade, feeding the nation. trans
porting and supplying our enormous
armies, sustaining our Allies. while
all the time stopping German food
and trade, and keeping their warships
penned up in their harbors.
They show that IL our Grand Fleet
were cast away by foolhardiness or
committed to a battle at great disad-
vantage, that fact would probably by
itself mean the total and immediate
ruin OF the Allied cause and our coun-
try and empire.
And having recited all these truths,
the partisans Of the Defensive School
retire from the discussion triumphant
and contented with the conclusion that
the navy, however powerful, can only
keep the ring" and that the war, If
it il to be won, must be won solely by
the land operations Of the armies. 1t
is not till they reach their houses or
Offices and study our weekly losses by
German submarines that they feel the
slightest misgiving.

Obsolete Methods
Now Essential

The special conditions of trench war
fare have necessitated much technical
training in weapons which are either
new or notifications of appliances
formerly thought obsolete. The gren-
ade has come into its own again, and
that weapon is now very effective
small arm in the hands of the infantry.
Gas also has become a contingency to
which men must be accustomed during
their training, and trench engineering
and allied subjects call for special in
struction.
Gas is more dangerous to the morale
of the troops than to their actual
safety; and demonstration of its
harmlessness, if the right steps are
taken to counteract it, does much to
disarm the gas attack Of its worst ter
rors. The men are also taught how
20 put up wire entanglements, fill sand
bags and a variety of other work.
The men of the colonial armies train
there with the British troops, and the
association in training, though a short
one, must tend to inspire mutual con-
fdence in the trenches.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-22

ton Is developed in two main direc-
tons: That of maintaining physical ef-
ficiency and accustoming men to some
extent to the cxertions which will be
required of them. and that of supplying
them with certain technical or special
knowledge which will be of service to
them under conditions prevailing at the
front.
Bayonet fighting also plays part in
this section of their training. The war
has revolutionized our ideas of the use
of the bayonet. In the old days there
were those who regarded it as a weap-
on whose uses had passed, but there
probably are few at the front to-day
who regard the bayonet in that light.
