The North Dakota division of the
Military Training Camps association,
having successfully recruited candi-
dates for two officers training camps
and Fort Smelling, now is asked to re-
cruit for the Acid service of the Am
erican ambulance in France and the
aviation corps, which is in urgent
need of 100000 men. Results in the
central department are said to exceed
those of the East, Northeast, South
east and Southern departments, with
the western department yet to be
heard from. The branch chairmen in
the Central department procured ap-
plications from more than s., IL times

ment camps have been visited by a
committee from military training

have been found to be exceptionally

MAY SPEND $4,000
ON FEDERAL HIGHWAYS
DURING THE SUMMER
State Engineer Bliss Reports
That Inspection Has Been CON-
pleted in Five Counties

Comparatively little work can be
| done on state and federal highway
projects this year, advises State En-.
gineer Bliss, because of the late date
at which the highway commission
was enabled to organize, and for the
further reason that both state and
federal highway departments have
been somewhat handicapped by the
enlistment Of their engineers. He
predicted today that not more than
$4,000, the amount of federal high.
way aid available for highway work
in this state last year, can be ex.
pended on projects reached this year.
This will leave the states allotment
for this year, about $4,000 available,
together with he 1918 appropriation,
available July l next year, for a gen.
uine campaign of highway building
next season.
T. J. Lough, field engineer for the
state highway commission, has re.
turned from tour of inspection
through the eastern part of the state,
where number of counties have ap-
piled for state and federal aid, and
where preliminary estimates have
been made. To date, % counties have
applied for federal aid, and federal
inspection has been applied for by the
state highway commission in five
counties.

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 8.-Getting

Bismarck team registering many
strike-outs. His control was perfect
at all times. Waswo started on the
mound for New Rockford, but was re-

P|ERSOL DESCRIBES
DEATH BY HANGING
1T Feels Like Helr Is About
the Only Real Comparison
He Was Able to Make

1
Kansas City, Mo-, June LIT feels
like hell"
That's the way Claude Piersol, ac-
cused of the Lloyd Keet kidnapping, de-
scribed the sensation of hanging today,
as he paced restlessly back and forth in
his cell at the county Jail here.
Piersol and Cletus Adams were
brought here from Independence, Mo,
shortly before noon today by Deputy
Sheriff 7. j. Harris. Fearing that "a
mob might possibly take his prisoners
away from him should he bring them TO
Kansas City's north end, and worn out
after his all night race with the
Springfield "vigilantes, the deputy
turned the prisoners over to Independ
ence officials yesterday afternoon.
Until they arrived here their where
abouts were complete mystery.
Though haggard and worn after a
sleepless night, Piersol stood the ter
rifle grilling administered by Criminal
Judge Arch Johnson and Springfield
officials here today without weakening.
He still stoutly maintained his innO-
cence and declares he has told all nc
knows.
Concerning his near-lynching, when he
was cut down while unconscious, ne
talked freely.

said. "They told me that I had to die

But / honestly believed my time had

stretched me off the ground, but it
seemed as if they never would stop
As the rope tightened 1 felt something

my breath.
"Then there came faraway ringing
in my ears o sort of tinklihg of church
bells. Everything grew black before
my ewes. l wasn't afraid then, was
more or less resigned to the inevitable.
Then all grew dark and quiet. The
ringing gradually faded out in the dis
tant. That's about all can remember
until I came to.

know at first where I was"
