We sure are having real Indian

be longer.
Gosh, you ought to have seen us
march the Both of October. The
whole Regiment was out-about 1906

was grand to hear.
Say, l sent home a picture Of this

FOR DRAFTED
MEN IN TELEGRAPHY AND
TELEPHONE.

A school of instruction in telegra-
ply and telephone, conducted by ex-
perts for the benefit of men of draft
age who beside to qualify for service
in the United States signal corps, will
open in Bismarck on December 1st.
Students will be accepted from any
point in the Bismarck division, COM
prising Burleigh, Mclean, Sheridan,
Emmons, Mcintosh, Logan, Morton,
Mercer, Oliver Sioux and Grant coun-
ties without any fee of any kind.
The course will continue five months,
and is designed to give the graduate
a thorough grasp Of telegraph and
telephone operation and make him eli
gible for one of the most attractive
! and interesting branches of the army
service-a branch which pays from
s33 the month for private of the first
class to S81 the month for master sig
nal electrician.
The conduct of these schools is in
charge of the North Dakota council of
defense. The state has been district
ed, and a chairman placed at the head
of each district and of county. c..
L. Young is chairman for the Bis
marck district, and he has issued q
call for AZ men, the quota assigned to
! this territory. These men must be Of
draft age, and meet the physical re.
quirements for regular army service
The fact that they are students at the
signal service school does not exempt
them from responding to the draft
; when they are called, but it does give
them the privilege of applying for ad
mission to the signal corps when theil
time to report comes.
Candidates for admission to the sig
nal service school are urged to consult
their county chairman at the earliest
possible moment. The enrolment ii
limited, and already large number
of applictions have been received. No
only is the signal service one Of th'
most thrilling branches of the grea
war game, and one of the best paid
but it offers enlisted men, in who's
commercil fields there always is an un
supplied demand for truly capabl
men.
Address all inquiries to the distric
chairman, C. l.. Young, Bismarck, N
D. The school will probably ope1

With the American Army in France,
Monday, Nov. 12.-American soldiers
rapidly are becoming experts at patrol
work, and their officers say they car
ry on in No Mans Land as if they had
been at it for years. This is ex-
planned partly by the fact that activity
in No Mans Land along the sector
held by the Americans virtually is
open warefare, which is distinctly an
American game.
Already stories of the heroism of
individual soldiers during trench raids
are coming to light. A recent Incl
dent involved Ave privates, who rush
ed from their dugouts as the Ger
mans entered the trenches. Standing
kneeling and lying in front of the en-
trance, they fired on the enemy so sue
cessfully that they prevented the Ger
mans, who made several attempts,
from entering.
A large shipment of turkeys, mince-
meat, cranberries, oranges and sweet
potatoes for the Thanksgiving dinner
of the American soldiers has arrived
in France. 1t will be distributed
among the various instruction centers
and cities where the troops are bill
letcd.

The lieutenant who was knocked
down three times by she'll fire today

scratched with flying gravel.

there was a crash. ! seemed to see

before my face hit the mud at the

over the body of the man who was cor
poral. We spread ourselves out ex
pecting a heavy attack. AS mat
ter of fact, found out later the rait
was over, and that the grenades were
being thrown by retreating Germans.
Bearing up Exce llently.
It is the opinion Of all officers tha
the troops are bearing up excellent!
under their first experience in tn
trenches. All are learning how t,
conduct themselves under fire, and tina
shell fire even when intense is not a.
dangerous as it sounds.
So much shrapnel has fallen sine

because America is convinced that the
cause Of the Allies represents ideals
sthat she has soberly and firmly eu-
tered the war at their side. Call her
a dreamer if you will. At least her
dreams belong to the spirit of Chris
tianity. And the humane and demo-
cratic work of the Y. NJ. C. A. has
helped, and will help, to make those
dreams reality"

Navy: "From every standpoint, mill

veloped for it a degree of prominenc'
