TO grant MONTH
Only FOR LEAVE

According to word that has been
received in the Hawaiian department,
officers on making change Of station
either to or from here are to be al
lowed only one month for leave. 1t
has been customary for more time to
be asked on such occasions.
1t is generally believed that the still
unsettled condition of things on the
Mexican border, especially unsettled
with the last announcement that
troops will move out, Is responsible
for the decision of the war depart
ment.

Unfed Soldiers

Nine recruits for the Twenty-first

kota on the North Coast Limited of
the Northern Pacific when Henry Wal
ters. conductor, noticed that they ate
nothing.
What are you doing, reducing

"No," confessed Edwin II. Barnes,
in charge of the party, 1--WE haven't

A man seated nearby overheard the
discussion.

The best dinner the diner affords and
it's on me; hurry it up" the stranger
said.
Walter hastened to the diner and
decorated it specially, as two cooks
worked overtime, and then called the
men.
For two hours the hungry soldiers
ate to their hearts content. Then they
called for their benefactor. He had to
make speech.
"Who are you?" asked the soldiers.

Lutherans Will Celebrate Sunday
(By Rev. VIM. Hartman)

The word Lutheran is derived from
Luther. This name was first applied
to the followers of Luther by Eek, a
bitter opponent of Luther. The name
the reformers themselves wished to
adopt was "The Evangelical Church"
the Gospel church. No title could have
been more appropriate and expressive.
We call ourselves Lutherans, not for
Luther's sake, nor for the selfish pride
of Ornamenting ourselves with his
name, but because we accept, hold and
teach the doctrine he taught as the
pure doctrine of Christ. And because
we believe the articles of faith which
Luther taught and defended, and re-
ceiVe them as the pure gospel we are
bound to acknowledge and take his
name, whether it be one Of honor or
reproaCh. Let those disOWn him who
disoWn his doctrine; we hold the Cos
pei as he held and preached it, and
therefore we cannot hesitate TO take
his name.
In like manner Lutheran now be
cause Luther was the instrument chos-
en- Of God to recover the church from
its prostration and to plant and estab-
lish it anew in modern times. While
Luther laborcd at this task until his
death, Oct. 81, 1917, is commonly ac-
cepted as the time when the great
work Of Reformation was solemnly in
augurated. Then 1917, now 1917, hence
the quadricentennial, four hundredth
anniversary. The entire world, each
and every state Of life has protited by
Luther's work. 1t is proper for the
world to acknowledge this fact by Gel
cbrating the same and giving honor
able mention to the same. Above all
! the church should not miss this oppor-
tUnity to offer thanks unto the Lord
for His mercy. ''Therefore let US keep
feast The St. Paul's Lutheran church
has arranged celebration at the
Grand Opera House for next Sunday.
Particulars are given in special an
Eouncement in this issue of the Inde-
pendent.
Whether you are Lutheran or not ;
whether you are a Protestant or not,
you are welcome at these services. 1t
has been our endeavor to secure able
and eloquent speaker. We sincerely
hope you can attend.

JOHN SULLIVAN SHOT
TO DEATH BY Wife
Mrs. Alice Sullivan Killed Husband
at Tally Home in This City
Says While Drunk He At
tackled Her

John H. Sullivan, formerly of Plen-
tywood, Mont, was shot and instantly
killed by Mrs. Alice Sullivan, aged 40
years, woman claiming to be his
wife, at the Mrs. Caroline Tally place,
a yellow painted cottage, located in
a rather obscure place in the coulee,
a short distance south of the Great
Northern passenger depot, at about
4:45 o'clock Monday afternoon. The
woman claims that she fired the shot
the charge of murder in the first de-
ore Judge Lynch this week, as soon
as States Attorney Herigstad can
make satisfactory arrangements with
the woman's attorney, e. R. Sinkler
Sullivan, who was about 35 years
of age, resided at Plentywood, Mont,
until in June, when he came to this
city to reside. Mrs. Sullivan claims
that she was married to Sullivan in
June at small town near Moorhead,
MINI. The couple stopped at one of
the local hotels for while but for
several weeks have been rooming at
the home Of Mrs. Tally.

The building burned down in May and
he expected to collect $4,000 insurance
on the same. His business affairs have
been in the hands Of one Kelley, of
Plentywood, said to have been a for
mer jartner in the saloon business.
Sullivan was known in Minot as a
rather smooth gambler. He was a
big, strapping and rather good look
ing fellow.
It appears that railway engineer
named A. B. Jackson was the only wit
ness to the shooting. He arrived at
the Tally home and had just stepped
inside the door when he saw Mrs. Sui
livan shoot her husband
Jackson telephoned the police sta
tion Immediately after the shooting
and within five minutes, Chief Dough-
erty and Officer Reed were at the Tally
home. The officers found Sullivan
clad only in his night gown, lying on
rug in small archway, which sep
arates the two bedrooms from the par

been shot directly in the center Of the
upper jaw, just under the nose, and he
was bleeding profusely. Sullivan was
unconscious and never regained his
senses. His wife stood looking down
at the CORY sight and did not seem to
be disturbed in the least The officers
inquired who had done the shooting
and the woman replied that she did.

would not do it, so | guess | shot him,

DR.. j. r. Pence, the conorer, was
called and the dying man was placed
in the patrol wagon and taken to a
local hospital, but he died at about the
time the hospital was reached. The
woman was taken to the police sta
ton by Officer Reed, as Chief Dough-
erty accompanied Sullivan to the hos
pital.
The woman later explained that her

nine o'clock that morning in an intox-

and put him to bed In the afternoon
he called for drink and she gave
him drink and then he began abus-

as good as he sent and be became an
CRY and got out of bed to attack her.
She stated that he had often beaten
her before and that she realized what
it meant and she tried to get out of
the house. The doors were locked and
she ran into Mrs. Tally's room and

off the dresser met her husband in the
archway. They grappled with each

close to her husbands mouth, fired
He fell to the floor, face downward, in
dying condition and never spoke an
other word. The man she says was
in an intoxicated condition and the
officers state that the woman had not
been drinking. Mrs. Sullivan is rather
small, dark complexioned woman.
She is we'll known in this city to a GER

some time about five years ago. She

Florence CHESTER'S
PLACE BURNED DOWN
Big Old-Time Resort Went Up In
Smoke at Hands of Firebug.

The home of Florence Chester, No.
Ia, Fifth street southwest, one Of the
coulee land marks for many years, and
located just south Of the G. N. passen-
ger depot, burned to the ground at
four o'clock Friday morning.
The building had been set on fire by
some tire-bug on the evening of Oct
3, and when the fire department ar
rived four rooms downstairs and two
on the upper floor were in flames, but
the fire was put out after doing consid-
cradle damage. Whoever tried to
burn the building evidently did a more
thorough job Friday morning. This
place was a notorious dive in Minot's
palmy days.
The building was valued at $500
by the owner and the furniture at $3,-
500. The building was insured for
$4,000 and the furniture for a like
amount.

American Training Camp in France.
The issuance of French gas masks
to the American soldiers has brought
them little nearer to the realization
OF their proximity to real warfare
The men are looking forward to the
gas experiments with the greatest pos
sible interest as giving a touch of ad-
venture to their training. When the
so-called "gas-house" is completed the
men will be put through mixture of
a deadly vapor several times stronger
than will ever be encountered upon
the field of battle.
Some German prisoners have claim
ed that in their training they have en-
dured periods of from FIVE TO ten min
utes in gas mixture so times as
strong as could possibly be maintained
in an open-air attack. The men are
put through these intense mixtures to
demonstrate to them that with proper
care and. use of their equipment they
cannot be hurt by any gas likely to be

Must Be Careful.
II is most important branch of
the modern training Of soldier that
he should be convinced that there are
many methods Of effectively dealing
with the deadliest terrors of latter
day warfare; that careless, slovenly
and unheedng soldiers are the ones
first to succumb. II is even demon
strated to the soldiers that the ter
rifying liquid fire can be avoided ex-
cept in most extraordinary circum-
stances, such as being caught in a
tunnel or in dugout with the enemy
in such a position that he can pour
flames through the entrances.
In training the Americans regard
ing gas the greatest weight is to be
laid on demonstrating to each man the
value of his protective appliance and
seeing that he is fully instructed in
its proper use. He will be made to
realize however, that only by skilful
and rapid adjustment Of the mask can
protection be assured, and that 1t shall
be daily task with him to see that
his appliance is in good condition. Fit
must be assured, for otherwise the
gas penetrates through every small
hole and attacks the eyes and mouth,
so that in a short time the man is put
out of action.
Lectures on gas are being arranged
first for the officers, then for the men,
for in gas training officers have to go
through identical drills and expert
ences. Ten seconds will be the out
side limit allowed for the adjustment
of helmets after the gas alarm has
been sounded.

CALL 100000
ON SEPTEMBER |
0ne-third of SeIeCtive Draft
Men Must Be Ready Then.
GOVERNORS ARE so NOTIFIED
Will Bring Strength OF Regular Army
Up To 1,ooo,ooo-Exemption To
Be Denied Men Whose Relatives
viii Support Dependents.

Washington.-The first one-third Of
the quota of $4,000 men drafted for
Army service under the Selection Bill,
will be called to the colors September
/, and sent to training camps between
September l and September 3. This
information has been communicated
to the governors of all states by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
More than 100000 men OF the selec-
tive draft forces will be called to the
colors September l, to go Immediately
to their divisional training canton
ments. This will bring the strength
of the United States Army on that
date up to practically 100000 men.
Brgadier General Crowder, provost
marshal general, dispatched the fol-
lowing telegram to the governors OF
the states cautioning them TO make
certain that the first one-third of their
quota of the first increment of regis
tered men is ready in time:
New regulations governing mo-
bilization and the certification of men
from district boards to adjutants gen
eral will be mailed to you. In the
meantime, local boards should certify
to district boards daily those who have
been called and who have not been
exempted or discharged either because
they failed to file any claim or be-
cause their claim had been decided
adversely.
Strict compliance with this rule Is
necessary since, on September l, the
War Department will call for not to
exceed one-third of the quota from
each state to be entra'ned for
mobilization camps between Septem-
Der l and September 5. Unless we
wish to be put in position of not
furnishing men as fast as the War De.
partment is ready to receive them,
each state should have accumulated
by September / minimum of one
third of its quota not exempted or
discharged. This can only be attained
if local boards certify these lists up
with great expedition"

WAR BOARD HEARS
WHAT It MUST Do
Commission Holds First Con.
ference With President.
BUYING PRIVILEGE TO ALLIES
Coordination OF American and Allied
Purchases Will Be One OF the
First Questions To
Be Settled.

Washington. - The new War In
dustries Board held its first conference
with President Wilson Monday and
took up in general the problems 1t
must face in the purchase of war sup
plies for this government and the
Allies. The President indicated his
idea of the boards functions.
One of the points decided was that
the Allies of the United States should
be given the same advantages in the
purchases of war materials as this
country enjoys.
Members of the board are: Frank
Scott, Bernard M. Baruch, Hugh
Frayne, Robert S. Brookings, l.. S.
Lovett Lieutenant Colonel Palmer Il.
Pierce and Rear Admiral Frank f.
Fletcher. Secretary Daniels also at
tended the conference.
The question of co-ordinating Ameri.
can and allied purchases will be one
of the first to be taken up by the
board.
Allied purchases soon will be made
by Bernard Baruch, who is to be
designated by the allied governments
as their buying commissioner At the
same time he will be chairman of a
purchasing commission for the Ameri-
can government to be formed Of men,
bers OF the War Board, with Herbert
Hoover as member in charge of food
purchases.
officials believe that ultimately q
system may be evolved under which
one man will do all the American and
allied buying, members Of the War
Board serving as advisers. Legisla'
ton would be required, however, be-
fore the government departments could
delegate purchases to any person out
side of their organizations.
For the present American purchases
will be negotiated by the buying com.
mission, but contracts for the Army
and Navy will be signed by their rep
resentatives on the War Board. Ship
ping Board purchases probably will be
made by the buying commission itself,
as there is no legal obstacle.
The board faces considerable
problem in obtaining supplies for the
Allies at the same price paid by the
American government Already the
proposal has brought protests from
manufacturers and producers who
have agreed to sell to this government
at prices lower than the market.
