Minot, N. D., June 16.-The Minot
military school is q new organization
formed this week for the purpose Of
drilling the men who are subject to
call under the consumption law. The
advantage of this preliminary train
ing, which has been recommended by
Provost Marshal Crowder, is hat the
men will go to camp with some
knowledge Of infantry drill. Men over
the draft age limit will also be per-
mitted to attend and from them ap-
plicants for the officers corps will UNI
doubtedly be received. No obligations
are incurred by the men in accepting
this training, as it is entirely volun-
tary and has nothing to do with regis
tration or enlistment. Drills will be
held in the armory each evening.
