nue. late last night or early this morn-

Y. M. c. A. Fosters Move
ment to Prepare Future
Soldiers for Work.

Physical Director G. c. Carpenter
Of the Y. M. c. A., has announced
that another attempt will be made to
introduce military training among
the citizens of Grand Forks. although
this time it will be under a slightly
different arrangement than before.
It Is the opinion of he director
that now that nearly twelve hundred
young men Of the city have registered
and are therefore subject to draft
and service at the front, most of them
will welcome the chance to learn all
they can before they are drawn for
service. With this belief to work on
the Y. NJ. G.. A. will foster a move
ment to make every man as fit for
service as the time and the man him.
self will permit.
The Y. NJ. C. A. staff and equip
ment will be given over for this cause
as a purely patriotic move and those
in charge believe that there will be
men enough to respond to fill at least
three companies.
The military training will be thor
ough In every respect. given by men
who have had experience very lately
and who know their business. This
will let that what Is learned will

rection, but what will actually be
taught in the mobilization camps.
The plans are nov under way to
train a corps Of non-commissioned Of
fcers. These men will have had mil
itary training to some extent already
and Is soon as they are thought to be
efficient enough to take charge Of
squads the call will be made for those
who have registered to sign up for
drill.
The movement has been started in
several other cities and those sub
ject to service are showing an eager
desire to get all they can out of it.
For that reason it is believed, that one
of. considerable size a be developed
here.
AS it is now planned drill will be
held twice a week and further plans
are being considered for advanced
work as soon as the men are drilled
suficiently- to carry them out.
