Twenty years ago the German Ian

the only mission which it ever had

Kultur has produced its proper
fruit in the theory OF the state as
supreme over the individual, a theory
that denies to government every
moral attribute and makes power de-
void of every ethical consideration
the only end to be attained. Against
this Frankenstein we invoke the ideals
of the Declaration of Independence,
with its concept of government
deriving it's just powers from the
consent of the governed.
Let our German American friends
expel these false prophets in their

all 1t works and turn to the life-giv-

government. In countless churches
throughout this land congregations
daily repeat the Apostles Greed. No

Let our citizens Of German descent,

Mr.. HOOVER REVERSES
HIMSELF.

The food administration
will not depart one iota. from
the prices determined by the
President for government
purchases either now or
throughout the year'-Her-
bert Hoover as quoted by an
Associated Press dispatch
Sunday.
Directly contradictory to Mr..
Hoover's telegram to The Forum
Friday, is the foregoing dispatch
which came over the Associated
Press wires Sunday.
Mr.. Hoover, in his dispatch to
The Forum, distinctly stated that
the price might not continue I'M
Ill superseded by the 1918 price,
but that it might be governed by
foreign demand.
Inasmuch as this statement was
contrary to the understanding of
the price fixing committee, it was
most surprising. Even the Presi-
dent himself said the price would
be "rigidly adhered to-.
Evidently Mr.. Hoover has
thought better Of it. SINCE he sent
the telegram to The Forum, and
gave out a later statement.
II is with no intention of harry
ing Mr.. Hoover that The Forum
has been so insistent on getting
the record straight in this matter.
1t is of great Importance to the
farmers of North Dakota to know
whether the government price is
permanent one or not. The
Forum wants to get back of Mr..
Hoover, when it can find out
where he is.
1t is no great crime to have
changed his mind in this instance.
He is working under high pres
sure, with problems beyond the
ability of any one man to solve.
He cannot map out a course and
rigidly adhere to it. He must meet
his problems as they arise, and
consistency might become a vice
rather than a virtue in a man in
his position. But to clear this
situation, he ought to give a
straight YES or no" answer to the
question: us the government
price a permanent one until the
1913 price takes effect?
Another significant sentence in
the same dispatch, which is pub
lished elsewhere in The Forum
tonight, is the statement of ]. w.
Sullivan, who represented the
American Federation of Labor on
the price fixing committee. MIR.
Sullivan stated that if the matter
of the price were reopened, the
federation of labor would work
for lower price. The farmers
are outnunbered greatly by the
consumers of the. country, and
any attempt to reopen the price
question would be fraught with
grave danger of getting a lower
price instead Of higher one.

War Departments Lessons For
Men of The National Army

I which the units, in double rank, are
arranged in line or in column with
normal intervals and distances
Extended order, on the other hand
is the information in which the
units are separated by intervals
greater than in close order" These
technical definitions are clear enough
to those who are ALREADY familiar
with military terms, but probably
require some explanation for most
of the men who are reading this
course.
The diagrams below show at a
glance what is meant. Figure
represents a small body of men in
double rank arranged in close order.
see
sssS
Figure I.
The space between men standing
side by side in rank is called the
interval" In the American Army
the standard interval is inches
measured from the elbow Of one man
to the elbow Of the man next to him
This gives room enough for free
movement and the proper handling
OF arms and equipment during drill
The space between the man in the
front rank and a man directly be-
hind him in the rear rank is called
distance" The standard distance is
40 inches; measured from the back
OF the man in front to the breast OF
the man in the rear. In practice
intervals and distances are, OF
course, not measured exactly. A
well-trained soldier, however, soon
learns to gauge them with sufficient
accuracy and almost unconsciously
keeps himself properly placed in
relation to the man about him. II
is essential that every man should
learn to do this in order to maintain
reasonable degree of uniformity.
Fighting Formations.
Figure 2 represents a body Of men
in double rank arranged in column.
The same intervals and distances are
observed as in the line formation.
Figure 2.
An extended order formation is
represented below.
Figure 8.
However, this is only one Of an
infinite number of extended order
formations. Intervals and distances
may be irregular. This is the forTna-
ton used for skirmishing and at 9TH
err times when it may be desirable to
have each man control his own
movements without attempting to
conform exactly to the movements OF
the other men.
During drill in close order you will
retain the position Of soldier" In
extended order drill you will usually,
though not necessarily, be allowed
to take the positions that are most
comfortable.
You should get in mind at the
very beginning these distinctions be-
tween close order and extended
order. BY understanding them you
will see more clearly what is re-
quired of you and how you can get
most benefit out OF your training.

The average American who has a
Job assigned to him wants to do 1t
well. He doesn't care to dawdle over
the job and make a mess of it. Nor
does he care to make it a halfway
success. He is determined to make
it a full and complete success in the
shortest possible time.
1t is assumed that you are starting
your Army training in this American
spirit. Since you are undertaking
the job Of becoming a citizen soldier
you intend to be a good one. You
don't want to waste any time in the
process.
More than that, if you are ambiti-
Gus and possess fair ability there is
no reason why you should always
remain a private soldier. It is right
that you should want to advance
just as you want to advance in civil
life. The Army is anxious to have
you advance just as soon as you are
ready.
You will not. of course, become a
corporal or sergeant or win higher
promotion until after you have
thoroughly mastered the duties of a
private. Nor will all the men who
would like to win advancement easily
obtain 1t. There is only one way to
get ahead in the Army, and that is
to follow conscientiously to the end
the regular system of training laid
out for everybody.
Your training will be practically
the same as that through which your
officers have advanced in the early
stages of military training. Every
man in the Army must go through
it.
Drill Formations.
First, you will be instructed in the
infantry drill, as set forth in the
Infantry Drill Regulations. This is
the foundation Of all your training.
1t is divided into close order drill
and extended order drill.

Regulations as "the formation in

Great Volcanic Region In Alaska

Washington, Sept. 10.-Safe return

OF "Ten thousand smokes, as the
vast volcanic area in Alaska is now

dred miles of territory hitherto un-
charted.
Two thousand photographs of the
great volcano and the contiguous
territory were secured and a COM
plete collection Of plants, insects,
birds and geological data is being
brought back to the United States.
Gases from the vents are also being
brought back for chemical analysis.
This expedition, which is expected
back in Washington about Oct. 5,
set sail for the Mount Katmai region
from Seattle on May 2S.
Prior to the great Katmai erup-
ton of June, 1912, practically moth
ing was known of this great Alaskan
volcano area. The explosion Of that
year was one of the most terrific
ia the history of the world The
quantity Of material thrown from the
Katmai crater was vastly greater
than that which resulted in the pro.
lection Of the Island of Krakatoa out
of the bed of the Pacific ocean.

Chicago, Sept. 10. - J. Ogden
Armour proclaims as the new ethics
Of big business that the people have
a right to know the factors that
enter into determination Of prices
and that at is up to the purveyors
Of food to fully explain the causes of
high prices and to rely on the AM
erican people to approve those
advances which are shown to be
justif1able or unavoidable" For
after alP', he says, business cannot
exist without the consent of the peo-
ple-and ought not exist without
their approval"
In conformity with these new
ethics, Mr.. Armour discusses The
Truth About the Price of Meat in an
article in a current magazine. He
lays the responsibility for high prices
on the advancing cost of the raw
material and on the costly service
which American consumers, demand
from their retail distributors. Ex-
cerpts from his article follow:
Meat is such an important item
on the American table, that its in
creased cost has attracted attention
and comment somewhat of proper
ton to the rate Of advance.
Meat price increases are not due
to big prortss so 1ar as the meat
purveyors are concerned. It is
actually a fact that the fresh meat
from the steer or hog or sheep, Is
sold by the packer to the retailer at
q figure which often fails to pay for
the raw product-that is the animal
on the hoof. The profits which en-
able packer to handle meat at less
than cost are due to the utilization
of these portions of the animals
which until recent years were wasted
or destroyed.
