MINERS DENIED PARADE
TO GREET MISS RANKIN
Butte Mayor Stands on Decision
Against Demonstrations During
Industrial Disorder.

BUTTE, Mont. August 14-Acting
Mayor Hanratti has refused permission
to the Metal Mine Workers Union and
Metal Trades Council to hold a parade
to welcome Congressional Jeanette
Rankin on her arrival here tonight from
Washington. He gave as reason that
permission could not be granted in view of
the precedent established in refusing to
permit parades during the period of in
dustrial disorder.
The lack of two-thirds vote in favor
of strike on the part of the Anaconda
smeltermen was declared today by the
American Federation of Labor officials to
indicate the end of the wage controversy
in this district between the mining COM
panies and metal trades organizations.

Commissions a Trust.

Secretary Baker in addressing the
young officers emphasized that they
are given their commissions as trust.
as officers in a democratic army He
said in part:
Il congratulate Col. Fenton and his
associates in charge of this splendid
enterprise and extend my congratula
tions beyond them to the small but
great army of which they are worthy
representatives. For long time it
has been such an army as a nation
welded to peace might have, men of the
highest ability and training but small
in numbers. But this camp has proved
W hat those in charge of military affairs
have long felt, that when the occasion
arose the quality of that Army was
such that it could expand itself. 1t is
gratifying to us to see this visible
evidence that in such an incredibly
short space of time you have learned
to march. act and feel like veterans.
"In all the training camps scattered
throughout the country" he said. THE
same story is told-young men in large
numbers have been received, for the
most part. without previous military
service and in an incredibly short space
of time have been made to march and
feel and act like veterans. Thus our
Regular Army has shown its vitality by
its capacity for rapid absorption and eX-
pansion.
Il shall not, of course. discuss the
causes of this war: that issue has been
settled for the people of the United
States and our country has gone into
this war not tossing its cap into the air,
but with the normal law written on its
heart and stimulating and encouraging
it's every energy
II want you always to remember that
you are officers of a democratic Army.
that discipline with us at least is not
devised for the creation of pleasant
emotions in a man who gives an order
and humiliation in man who receives
it. but for the purpose of executing the
common will. preserving the common
right, and that in the giving Of an order

Men in Ranks Are Citizens.

Therefore. your duty as officers Is to
remember that the men in the ranks,
like yourselves. are citizens and mem
bers of a free people, that all the obedl-
ence and discipline necessary to effect
the common purpose is appropriate and
proper, and yet that the human relations
in an army of free people are lmpor-
tant and that the welfare, the happiness,
the surroundings and the life of every
man intrusted to you to command is a
part of the wealth of this nation intrust-
ed TO you to use most carefully and to re-
turn with the utmost safety YOU can.

Col. Fenton Explains Training.

After prayer had been made by Rev
Forrest J. Prettyman, chaplain OF the
L. S Senate, Lieut.. Col. Charles W.
Fenton, commandant of the camp.
spoke briefly. telling the reasons for
giving the Young men the sort Of train
ing they have received. He said this
as message to the young men VINO
are going into the second series OF
training camps:
THE object of the training is to make
men fit to do well in war. The train :
ing OF a soldier. although thorough and
exacting. is simple in accordance with
his character and mission
He emphasized the Importance OF
physical training, through gymnastic
exercises. marches and drills lie told
how mental activity and concentration
are stimulated and intensi1ed. iropapi
his most important explanation came
when he defined the technical qualln-
cations for an officer:
.He must see to the administration
and discipline of his command ana De
prepared to lead it against the enemy.
For these tasks he must know admin
istration, law and tactics. Familiar
ity with regulations on administration
will enable him TO control and care. Tor
his command. while knowledge OF the
law is necessary for enforcement of
discipline The foundations of disci-
pine however. are obedience. mutual
confidence. loyalty, patriotism and
esprit de corps.
In welcoming the young officers to
the military service he said:
Il congratulate you that you are to
fight under the Stars and Stripes Upon
our national arms the American eagle
is represented as holding in one talon
the olive branch of peace and in the
other the shafts of war. He leaves 1t
TO his adversares which to choose.
Gentlemen. you will enjoy the dis
tinction of being soldiers in war. Soon
Won will Join our brave allies. who by
their wonderful fidelity and matchless
gaIlantry have won the gratitude of
all the civilized world. And when
American soldiers stand side by side
with the proudesl warriors of the old
world, somewhere abroad. feel assured
that they can be trusted to deal with
the enemies of the United States"
