GENERAL PARKER, COMMANDING
BRIGADE ON BORDER, so RE-.
PORT 70 DEPARTMENT.
NOW FIT TO TAKE
FIELD AGAINST ENEMY
Enlisted Men Shown to Have Become
More Efficient in Their Grades Than
Learn Could Be Made Thorough
Soldiers With Little More Training.

Des Moines, March Iowa national
guards are rated as 90 per cent eff
cient by Gen. James II. Parker in a
complete and comprehensive report on
border training recently made to Sec
rotary Of War Baker. Copies of the
report have been sent to the COM
manders of all companies trained in
the Brownsville district.
after six months intensive train
ing, these troops are now fit to take
the field against fairly trained
enemy, or to act on the defensive
against we'll trained troops" states the
report.
."Officers and men have worked hard
and conscientiously, under the guild
ance Of inspector-instructor and have
made wonderful progress. 1t may be
said now that the officers have a
thoro knowledge of what their duties
are, and also knowledge Of how to
perform most of them. The enlisted
men have become more efficient in
their grades than have the officers in
theirs, for the simple reason that they
have much less to learn. Generally
speaking most of them could be made
thorough soldiers with little more
training.
Training Was Test.
"The intensive training Of the ma
tional guard in this district was con-
Quoted under the apprehension that
an emergency threatened, and that
also a test was desired of the prompt
ness with which such troops could be
made ready for active service. 1t was
also considered from the point of view
Of the national guard as a school for
officers of future conscripts or volun-
teers. With the exception of the time
lost in furnishing needed equipment in
preparing camps and in enforcing
sanitary measures. it is believed thai
the full use Of the opportunity for in
struction was made. In this the dis
trict commander was aided by a
favorable climate and by country un-
usually favorable for field training
and maneuvers.'
Capt. w. b. Graham Of Company B,
Des Moines, is mentioned in the re-
port as having acted as inspector Of
animal transportation. He is the only
officer Of the Iowa militia that held a
regular army appointment on the
border.

From Governor Boyle.

Within the present week the people
of the United States will respond to
the appeal of President Wilson to
raise a fund for the American Nation
al Red Cross.
1t is estimated that 800, 600, 900 are
needed. and hat sum must be sought
from the people themselves in their
individual, private capacity.
This money is needed to preserve
the health of those in danger of dis
ease; to nurse the sick; to heal the
wounds of the injured and to soothe
the agony of the dying.
The objects of these services are
your fathers, your sons, your brothers,
and all near and dear to you-the ten
derest and the bravest. who fight for
you and who 500 will cry: Have
pity upon me, at least ye. my friends"
The actual work must be done by
the American National Red Cross, the
only organization officially recognized
by the United States government for
this duty. There is no appropriation
from the federal government for this
work.
Millions of dollars worth OF supplies
must be bought, an army of graduate,
professional nurses must be fed, cloth
ed and paid. as well as other workers
and attendants.
The organization is incorporated; is
not for profit and its membership dues
scarcely pay for organization and pre-
liminary preparation.
This III is most worthy; the need
is vital and the appeal must go
straight to the heart of the people.
Picture of you can, the good your
money can do for some lonely boy for
whom the light of youth and life will
fade some day, and / am sure that the
dollar or the five dollars which you
can afford to give will not become a
weight of remorse upon your heart in
days to come.

WIN Look After American Troops.

NIL Look After American Troops.
American troops, under General Per-
shing, will soon be on the firing line
in France. They deserve Americas
best.
The government will see that moth
ing is lacking. in equipment and ma
terial, to make them efficient fighting
men.
The American Red Cross must see
that nothing lis lacking to keep them
healthy, happy and efficient soldiers.
For this the Red Cross must have:
/. Hospital and medical equipment
to supplement that of the army medi-
cal department equal to any emer-
gency.
Equipment to care for 1000, 900
men ought to be provided at once.
z. Recreation and rest facilities be-
hind the firing line.
Americans on leave, unlike the
British and French, cannot return to
their homes. Club rooms, sport sup
plies, books and other means of re-
creation must be sent to them from
America.
3. Personal comfort kits and small
articles not included in army refiula-
tions.
Many thousands of articles, from
tooth-brushes, to writing paper, pipes,
etc., are needed to take the place of
things that could not be brought along.
$3.50, 900 900 has been expended for
relief in Belgium. Is 500, 600, 900 too
great as Americas contribution toward
the newer and larger humanitarian
task?
