and the duty of leaders in this
large organization was to inspire
confidence in the government
rather than to magnify opposi-
ton and distrust. The whole
tone Of the conference was an
tagonistic to the broad, patriotic
spirit that should everywhere
prevail in America. This was APP
parent from the speakers who
addressed the meeting, and par
ticularly so in the admission Of
Senator La Toilette, whose
speech was so openly opposed to
law and order that the Public
Safety commission of Minnesota
is urgently demanding of the
United States senate that it
expel him from that body. So
reckless and so rank were his
ideas that even the recognized
journals of the league are regret
ting his presence upon the plat
form and refusing to condone his
sentences.
The people Of North Dakota,
where the Nonpartisan league is
the strongest, are set in a sorry
picture before the balance of the
nation, because there was no call
for the protest voiced at st. Paul
and because it opened the door
for declarations that had no right

21798 Draft Men
At Dodge: Prepare
For First Pay Day

Camp Dodge, Iowa, Oct. IA
memorandum Of the present strength
of the Eighty eighth national army
division at Camp Dodge shows 21,79s
drafted soldiers, 1861 officers and 1877
men of the first Iowa engineers in
camp, a total of 23,o26 men in this
cantonment.
At 10 A. M. today the entire divi-
sion was formed for the first time.
The occasion was the first pay mus
ter.
Will Get Pay Soon.
Regimental payrolls were signed
by every man in camp Saturday af-
ternoon. Pay day may come this
week IL the first payrolls are found
correct. Officers, however, predict err
rors in the first rolls, necessitating
further delay.
When paid the men will receive APP
proximateIy SAP, 900. When the divi-
sion reaches full strength the month
Iy payrolls will amount to $1,640, 900,
Of which about 100000 will be paid
to the officers and the remainder to
the men,.
Deserters came in for attention at
division headquarters today when the
morning reports from regimental
urits showed approximately twenty
men absent without leave.
Some have been gone from camp
nearly ten days, the period after
which they are dropped from COM
pany or battery rolls and branded as
deserters with a reward for their
capture and the probability Of sum-
mary punishment.
A staff officer today emphasized
the fact that drastic measures may
be taken with any man absent
without leave even for one hour If
intent to desert is proved. The be-
lief is expressed by some company
commanders that missing men may
turn up before the ten-day limit has
been reached.
Uniforms Reaches Camp.

the drafted soldiers arrived Saturday

was for two years president Of the
British Chamber OF Commerce in
Paris. In an interview with Cert
rude Lynch he comments with I'M
derstanding upon British, French
and American soldiers:
When the American soldiers get
over here and they realiZe-as they
never will realize until they are
here-the atrocities of the barbar-
ians, they will realize, too, the
necessity Of rigid discipline in or
der to meet and destroy what is
necessary to be met and destroyed.
THE French soldier has not the
fine gift of silence of our Tommies.
Listen to him, you will hear plague,
cyntcism, worse, but the American
soldier must learn not to pay atten-
ton to that-it does not mean anyT
thing, when he gets through he has
worked off his i'll humor and he goes
about his work again, relieved.
What keeps the French soldier
going is an intellectual conception
of his duty-that is his patriotism.
What keeps the British soldier go
ing is what some call his religious,
but terri his ethical sense of duty
that is the difference. The result
of which is that when a French
soldier sees or think he sees things
going wrong in his country, 1t is
more inclined to impair his notion of
his military duty than it would IL he
derived his sense of duty from an
other quarter. I am not disparaging
the French army or drawing any
comparison unfavorable to ii, but the
important thing to note is that the
English soldier does what he feels to
be his duty. He cannot tell you. why,
but the Frenchman can, nearly al
ways. If | know anything about the
American people they are more like
us in this regard. The handspring Of
their action is not, like that of the
French, an intellectual stimulus, but
an ethical one. That is why there is
such a common bond between us, a
bond that must be strengthened. It
is our Anglo Saxon likeness that
must be maintained. In the last re-
sort it is what we have got to work
on"
