TRAINING At SMELLING
Large Number Of Candidate:

Second Omcers's Camp

"A large number of embryo com.
manders from Bismarck today entered
the second officers training camp at
Fort Smelling for a three months
course of training which will gradu.
ate successful candidates into the
regular army, the national army or
the officers reserve corps.
The Bismarck candidates left for
FIT. Smelling on Sunday, and majority
reported bright and early Monday
morning to the commandant. The
first two days were devoted to pre-
liminaries and assignments, but actual
work will be reached with this camp
much earlier than was the case with
the first, officers having benefited
from their previous experience.
AS result of the system OF regis.
tering students for the second camp
there has been no confusion, and ev.
cry man reporting has been registered
assigned to barracks and equipped
within two" hours after reaching the
reservation Street cars and autono
biles were placed at the disposal OF
students en- route to the post, and
Minneapolis is showing in many ways
that it is glad to have been favored
with another officers training camp
Saturday night will be the very last
date upon which students may be re-
ceived. The places OF those not re-
porting by that date will be filled
with alternates.

Mayor Alex Stern, who had called a

take, if any, last night, upon being in
formed by the attorney general this
morning that no meeting would be
held in Fargo, called off the proposed

terrible toll of German submarines
that the loss of tonnage by torpedoing
will have been reduced to the point
where it will not equal the new ton,
mage built.
When that point is reached the sub
marine, while, it may continue to be
an annoyance or even a danger, will
cease to be such menace as to jeop
ardize the cause of the allies.
The knowledge that device and a
method of defeating the submarines
haveHtbeen worked out has greatly
heartened all allied statesmen and
military leaders.
1t has spurred them on to greater
activity in the building of both de-
stroyers and merchant ships. They
realize that the German autocrats' con.

pended latterly upon the seeming sue.

of the German people. This is, the
hope that has sustained them through

strain and sooner they will admit de.

the war, which can end in no other
way.
