Manchester, England, Oct. A.
There is no romance left in war: II
Is a dirty business, and every one OF
us who is in it is determined that
when we finish this war. II shall be
so thoroughly finished that nobody
will ever start another"
Thus writes a British transport
captain in a letter to his local news
paper, describing how he had just
lost twenty Of his men, although they
were nearly dozen miles behind the
front through shell from a German
long-range naval gun fifteen miles
away. The shell was a chance shot.
Here is the captains story:
A War of Stink Pots.
I'VE have descended on a war of
leering horribly in obscure Iabora-
tories while they concoct the tortures
Of the damned, of medieval poisons
of flying death from the clouds. II
is less like war than some elemental
devilishness which man is as power
less to control as he was the vol
canoes which overwhelmed Pompeii
or st. Pierre. 1t is not alone in the
forefront of the battle where men
stand face-to-face, but in quiet
places far back, where death filings
himself with outrageous violence
and suddenness. The dead men have
never seen their foe; there has been
no contest, no combat.
Il witnessed an incident today the
like of which l have seen before, the
like Of which is happening every day
along these hundreds Of miles of bat
tie line. 1t is as we'll you should
hear Of it who have a quiet roof over
your heads, who wait placidly under

FINDS HOGS ALIVE
AFTER FIVE YEARS
lPorkers Subsist on Grasses and
Roots. and Are in Fine Shape
When Recovered.

Shields, N. D., Oct. Alive years
ago William Gayton abandoned his
farm at Selfridge to accept the post
Of Indian farmer at the Porcupine
agency. He left on the place two
year-old porkers. intending to re-
turn for the animals later. One thing
and another prevented his return
for some months, and when he did
go back. the hogs were not to be
found. He gave them no further
thought until some time ago when
Mike Brown, while haying on the
place, ran onto the animals. who
were as coy and as savage as wild
boars. Although the hogs had look
ed after themselves for five years,
living in the open winter and sum-
mer, they had thrived, one Of the
animals weighing 500 and the other
500 pounds. They had lived solely
on wild grasses, nuts and roots.
It was necessary to resort to the
use OF traps to capture them.

Drafted Men Will

Training Schools To Be Established At All Army Can

Usless-Big German Gets His-Camp Notes

Camp Dodge, Ia. Oct. 4.-Train :
Ing schools in which the men Sc
lected for the national armies and
those volunteering in the national
guard will receive intensive training
preparatory to their being commits
stoned as provisional officers in the
national army, will be established at
all cantonments. .. .
This is the announcement of Sec
retary Of War Baker in dispatches
received from Washington. ...
The course so outlined by the war
department follows the announce
ment that no more civilians will be
admitted to officers training camps,
such as that at Fort Smelling, and
that only selected men and those in
the guard units will be used as ma
terial for officers to command fu-
ture national armies.
The establishment of the training
schools at the various cantonments
will open a way for the selected men
to rise in the hanks, obtain provi-
sionaI commissions and be subject to
call when occasion requires.
Secretary Bakers statement says
the prospective officers will be suf-
iciently schooled in the fundamen-
tails of the profession of soldier by
January / to offer unusual material
for officers in the army, and training
facilities will be established at all
cantonments and national guard
camps to which guardsmen and Sc
lectives will be eligible for entrance.
First Steps Taken.
The first steps along this line al
ready have been taken at Camp
Dodge where schools for the pros
pective and acting n-commission-
ed officers are being held nightly.
1t has been announced that ap-
pointments as non commissioned Of
ficers will be made in most cases
sometime next month after the off,
GERS have had sufficient opportunity
to test the prospective officers and
judge their aptitude and ability.
The training camps to be estab-
lished by the war department con-
template the intensive training meth
ods which have been followed at the
officers training camps, the first of
which was completed August Is and
the second now we'll under way.
The calling out of the second ma
tional draft army will find an insult

mand ii, IL is feared. 'The action of
the war department in establishing
the training camps at the canton
ments, 1t Is believed viii in q meas
ure relieve this situation and place
at the disposalN of the department a
large number of officers who will be
capable OF whipping the men Of the
second army into shape.
This work OF training the officers,
1t is believed, can be done without
seriously interfering with the drilling
and preparation of the selected men

Government Trying To
Evolve System To
Stabilize Conditions
WAR PRODUCTION Is
BEING THREATENED
Solution Must Be Just To
Both Employers And
The Employees
(By Associated Press.) }

Washington, Oct. 4.-The govern
ment is working to develop some
comprehensive system of dealing
with the labor unrest which threatens
to hamper war production. 1t is
concerned over the pronounced up
ward movement Of wages. dfspropor-
tionate for various Industries, and
the difficulty of stabilizing conditions
without doing injustice to workers
or employers. Nearly all production
now is directly or indirectly neces-
sary for the prosecution of the war
and the output Of war materials is
curtailed by strikes, extraordinary
movement Of workers from one indus
try to another or from plant to plant
and other unsettled conditions. On
the recommendations of the commits
sion, headed by Secretary Wilson of
the department of labor, which left
yesterday for the west, will largely
depend the governments eventual
policy. Meanwhile 1t is understood
the governments course will be:
To extend to a number of indus
tries having war contracts the pres
ent system of wage adjustment
boards which have been created for
cantonment construction, shipbuiId-
ing, longshoremen's work and army
and navy clothing production; to in
crease the number of war depart
ment contracts containing clauses
providing that in case OF suspension
OF work by strikes, the secretary of
war shall settle the disputes; to en-
force agreements with Industries for
whose products standard prices are
fixed, not to reduce wages; to en-
courage employers to form associa-
tions by industrial groups to deal
collectively with labor demands; and
to press informally for adjustment of
disagreements before they reach the
strike stage, under the implied pres
sure of the governments war power
to commander and operate plants.
These practices already are in eff
feet on a small scale, having been
developed gradually to deal with
specific labor problems as they arose.
They have failed to prevent many
walkouts, however, despite the gov
ernment's recognition in most cases
of the right of labor's demands for
higher pay to meet the increased
cost OF living.

A STRANGE FACT
 ABOUT CATHARTICS
Evidence Given by q Louisiana Lady Describes How Some Cathartic
 Drugs Do Not Always Act.

One of the disadvantages in the use of many laxative and cathartic remedies is the fact that Nthe system seems, after awhile, to become accus- toned to their use, when taken for a considerable length of time. Thed- lords Black-Draught does not seem to possess this drawback, to judge from many letters written us by us CTS. One of these came from Mrs. Cecile Blanchard, of Crosse Tete, La., who writes: "I cannot express my thanks for the good your Black Dralght has done for me. have been sufferer of constipation for 5 years, since my baby was born, and left me with this complaint. I have tried so many other remedies, but (they) would act awhile, and it seem. ed as if they would get used to me; 1; would not do any more good; had to change again.
 Finally, in August, 1918, read the Ladies Birthday Almanac, and began at once using Black Draught. I gained my health, and (am) as fine as ever. will not be without Black-Draugat as long as life lasts"
 The above letter shows that Thed- ford's Black-Draught does not pos sess the disadvantage mentioned-a fact which users should remember when purchasing laxative or cathar- tic remedy for family use.
 Use Tledford's s. .Black-Draught.

Capt. Sam. F. Hilzheim. deputy tax collector and president of the Jeffer.

 The appointment is in accord with plans being worked out for the organ ization of companies of home guards turnout the state. Since the Guard has been given a definite status, it is believed in military circles at the capital that the movement for semi listed in the movement for semi- military civilian organization for home protection. Regulations are being pro- vided, and many encouraging letters are being received from various parts of the state. Each congressional dis trict is to have commander with the rank of major, who shall have the duty of looking after the formation of I companies in each of the counties in his dnstrict.
 The naming of Major Hilzheim to command the Seventh district was gratifying to his friends here, who considered it a recognition of his work in the organization of the company, and of his military experience and abil- Iity.
