FIRST U. S. CORPS
GOES TO WAR FRONT

Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France, May 25.-The frs,
American combatant corps went to the
front today under Captain r. 1. Tink-
ham ana Lieutenant Scully of Prince
ton. Captain Tinkham won the wa,
cross at Verdun.
1t was a proud moment wnen the
iirst detachment OF the American fielG
service. consisting mainly of Cornell
undergraduates, departed for the Aisne
battlefields. They were armed with
carbines, attired in khaki uniforms
and drove American motor cars. They
left the stars and stripes floating over
the cantonment in an historic French
forest, spread out in the breeze, and
other contingents cheered them or
their way.
The correspondent of the Associat
ed Press watched other American sec.
tons drilling in preparation for active
participation in the fighting. Among
them were detachments from Andover
Dartmouth, Harvard, Johns Hopkins
Yale, Chicago and Williams colleges
while large body from Princeton was
awaiting organization.
Some sections are drilled according
to the French method and others ac.
cording to the American.
Most of the Americans intended &c
serve with the ambulance, but selected
the fighting corps after the United
States decided to enter the war.

VETERANS NOT OAUNTED
BY DOWNpoUR Of RAIN
G. A. R. Parade Held at
Butte State Encampment
Despite Inclemency.
.SPURN AUTOMOBILES
Helena Selected as Place for
Grand Army Gathering
for Next Year.
SPURN AUTOMOBILES

Butte, May 25.--Undaunted by q
downpour of rain and escorted by 1000
school children, the battle SCARED vet
Grams of the Grand Army of the Re-
public marched in parade this after
noon. With flags unfurled and en-
feebled step, the "boys of 81" passed
through the downtown streets of Butte
TO the strains OF martial music. Au-
tomobiles placed at their disposal were
spurned by the aged veterans. Ride
in automobiles they declared when
the suggestion was made to them.
Not us. We have walked these many
years and when we cannot longer do so
Wen quit parading."
General Charles S. Warren and a
few of the olderveterans rode in au-
tomombiles, but it was not until their
friends and relatives had refused to al
low these elderly comrades to walk.
BY a vote of 80 to 10 the Montana
Grand Army this morning selected
Helena for next years encampment.
Livingston made a gallant fight for the
honor and might have won but for pa
triotic reasons. The old soldiers de-
termined to stand behind Governor
Stewart in the crisis confronting the
nation, believing they could be of sup
port to him and therefore decided upon
the capital city.
Helena also gets the next encamp-
ment of the Spanish War Veterans.
Livingston, Helena and Havre sought
the honor and the Spanish war men,
bers decided unanimously upon Havre.
but when they heard that the G. A. r.
had selected Helena, they rescinded
their action and chose Helena.
1t is believed that the Woman's Re-
lief corps and other auxiliaries will
follow suit and also choose Helena
for their meetings.
The election of officers was set by
the G.. A. r. for tomorrow morning.
Simon Hauswirth of Butte will prob
ably be unopposed for department
commander.

HAIL BOARD ANSWERS
EQUITY'S STATEMENT
Chairman Says Farm Paper
Misstated Law.

Helena, May 25.--In its issue of May
II the Montana Equity News Of Grea
Falls makes the statement that the
American society lis warning its
members against participating in the
| state hail insurance law Then the
| News boosts the Equity insurance de-
| partment and attacks the hail insur-
ance law. 1t says also that lit Is un
derstood" that in the payment of losses
! under the state law warrants will be
| drawn and paid in numerical order
and wants to know ''if those who get
their warrants first. or those who have
! their losses first will be paid in full
| while those who have their losses later
will be unable to get anything at ALL
Either the man who wrote that ar
ticle in the News had never read the
state hail insurance law, or il he had
read it. he deliberately misQuoted it,
said T.. X. Bowman, chairman of the
board. today. Here Is what the state
hail insurance law says on that sub
ject:
1.-The state board shall ascertain as
soon as possible each year the total
acreage OF land in hay and grain
crops subject to this act. thereby as
certaining the total amount Of such
tax levy. and after deducting 10 per
cent for possible delinquences and the
actual cost Of administration of this
act and appraisal of losses shall ap-
portion pro rata the balance Of the
amount levied for hail insurance, share
and share alike, based on the amount
of such losses as adjusted and deter
mined as aforesaid, and shall order
the state auditor to draw warrants"
1t will be SEEN" said Mr.. Bowman
that there is nothing about numerical
order of warrants. 1t is a case OF
share and share alike. according ia
loss. and every one insured gets the
same sort of treatment under the law
The law also provides that in no case
shall the loss paid exceed $l2 per
acre for grain crops and IS an acre
for hay crops. The levy cannot be in
excess of 60 cents an acre on grain
crops and Is cents on hay crops. In
der the law, 30 per cent OF all money
collected for hail insurance will be
available for the payment Of losses
THE News says the state hail law
was failure in North Dakota. 1t
does not say that with a levy Of 80
cents an acre North Dakota has paid
an average of $500 an acre to those
insured who were damaged by hail
The Equity collects 60 cents an acre
and presumes to insure for $40 an
acre, but the Equity policy says not u
word about the total amount it will
pay per acre in case Of loss.
The state board of hail insurance
does not object to fair criticism, but
1t does not expect a farmers organ :
ization in this state to misstate either
wilfully or unwittingly, the plain pro-
visions of the law
