Austro- German Troops
Fail to Establish Inform
al Truce on East Front
SUSPICION YET OF
COMMANDING STAFF
Russian Soldiers Who Dis
obey Orders Are Being
Brought To Trial
(By Associated Press.)

Petrograd, Oct. 12.-Austro- Ger
man troops are renewing their at
tempts to fraternize with the Rus
SLAMS, but so far every effort has
failed, according to a statement is
sued by the Russian war Office.
The general situation is quiet, al
though some of the armies as well
as some of the Cossack units still
act with some suspicion toward the
commanding staff. The question of
peace is said to agitate the great
mass of the Russian soldiers.
At some places there is agitation
against capital punishment, but
at the same time demands are made
that punishment in the rear of the
fighting front be enforced with
greater strictness. The cases where
orders are not carried out are COM
paratively rare, the soldiers who re-
fuse to obey oders usually being
brought to trial.
The war office announces with re-
greet that the evil influence Of the
gendarmes and police still asserts
itself. So far no measures have been
taken to isolate these elements.
Complaints of want Of discipline
among recruits are still numerous.
The authority of the bodies elected
by the soldiers themselves is in
creasing daily. The soldiers are re-
ported to often express desires for
instructive literature and lectures.
On the Rumanian front the idea
Of strictly socialistic government
has not gained popularity. The gen.
eral opinion of the army there Is
that a coalition government which
would unite all factions should be

Camp Dodge, Oct. 12.-Relatives
and friends of selective soldiers now
training at Camp Dodge should hurry
up IL they want to see their soldier
boys as they looked when they left
home. ..
If the visits are delayed a few
weeks longer none of the anxious
mothers, proud fathers or apprehen-
sive sweethearts will be able to rec
ognize their loved ones. Already the
change is marked. Soon the outdoor
work at setting up exercises, battery
drills and practice marches will have
brought about a marvellous trans
formation.

aActual training in a few Of the
subjects contained in the field artil-

men owing to the lack Of field pieces
and horses. The men, however. are
being given extra time in physical
drills, and other maneuvers that will
make of them that much better

the guns and horses do arrive.
A line of artillerymen stood in an
open space south of the barracks.
The marked contrast between the
appearance of the men and their ap-
pearance the day they marched into
the registration office. less than three
weeks ago, could escape no observer
who saw them both times.
Standing straight, heels together,
chests out. shoulders up, eyes looking
straight ahead, with the carriage of
a man conscious Of his strength and
confident of his power, the sight was
impressive.

Example of Transition.
Many Of the new drafted men are
being drilled by those Of their own
quotas who came with them at the

who since his college days has been

Nevada, Aug. 25.-There is no disloy-

Furthermore they are doing all in
their power to further the interests Of
the allied countries at war against the

time o. j. Kalsem Of Huxley, with A.
D. Hauge, Of Des Moines, and others,
representing the home mission board of
the church, are negotiating for and will
obtain an option on several lots near
the army cantonment in Des Moines,
where it IL planned to erect suitable
building for use of the thousands OF
young LutheEans who will be in camp
there with the new National army.
1t Is anticipated that there will be
from 1900 to $4,000 Scandinavian Lu-
therans in the men at the cantonment,
that church being very strong in Iowa,
Illinois, Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The club house or mission which they
plan to build will be for the use of all
soldiers and all exercises will be in the
English language. A meeting Of the
entire board is to be held early In
September to further the plans which
have already been sanctioned by that
