DR.. H. ]. O'Bryan
As Cavalry Surgeon

DIR. H. j. O'Bryan, accompanied by
Mrs. O'Bryan. returned yesterday
morning from Fort Smelling, whittier
he had gone to take the physical and
oral examinations required of army
surgeons.
DIR. O'Bryan, by the way, has had
wide experience in the surgical and
medical lines with large bodies of
men. For some years following his
graduation from medical college he
was surgeon for one of the leading
coal mines of Iowa, where upwards
of a thousand men were employed.
Here in South Dakota he has been
associated with the National Guard
for several years, where he has pop
ularized himself among the guards
men because of his close attention to
their needs in the line of medicine
and surgery.
Hence, it is with more than mere
pleasure that the members of the cav
airy regiment receive the information
that, in all probability, he will be as
signed by the war department to duty
with the state troopers.
The doctor is on the reserve list of
army SURGEONS and it is expected
that, having successfully passed both
the physical and oral examinations,
he will be assigned to the position of
surgeon, with the rank of captain. in
the First South Dakota Cavalry. -Four
appointments will be made for sur
geons-a major, a captain, and two
lieutenants.
DR., O'Bryan's skill as a physician
and surgeon has been recognized in
the locality ever since he came to
South Dakota some years ago.. and
the boys of the regiment are to be
congratulated upon the likelihood of
their having SO painstaking and gifted
a medical a to attend to their
needs in their army life.

Gov. Willis Tribute
to the American Flag

Not a flag of conquest but of con.
cord" declared the speaker before a
vast audience in Chicago last month,
and he was cheered to the echo.
The Hon. Frank B. Willis, former
governor of Ohio, who will lecture on
our Chautauqua program this sum,
mer, addressed a great gathering in
Orchestra Hall, Chicago, Sunday
night, April 18th. Speaking on THE
National Spirit" he aroused the pat
riotism of the audience to such an
extent that the Chicago Tribune said
it sounded like a political conven-
tom
An extract from his speech was
published in the Chicago Herald Mon
day, April 18th, and should be read
by every school teacher to her pupils.
1t was the following tribute to the
flag:
1T is not a flag of conquest but of
concord. 1t is not a flag of oppres-
sion but of optimism and opportun-
ity. 1t was conceived in a spirit of
ardor but not of arrogance. In it
Were instilled Cancellation and con.
science. 1t is the worlds token of
equality. freedom, justice.
The serene field of blue, the valiant
stripes of red and tranquil white
stand for patience, firmness. peace. a
more beautiful banner for a nation
was never designed and never will
be.
Young and old should give earnest
thought to the purpose, the intent, the
ann n the hope of the sacred stars
and Stripes. That purpose. hat in
tent, that aim, that hope, should be
guiding the star of the nation.
The flag stands for the trancend-
eney of right, for the lowliest to at.
tain the summit, for worldwide equal.
Ity, for universal freedom without raj
gard to race II color; what the flag
stands for represents the nations
solemn aim and hope"
Governor Willis will be at the wa!
.ertown chautauqua on the evening of
he second day.

Dakota Cavalry
Soon Goes Into Service

A telegram from Congressman Roy
al c. Johnson a few days ago, in re-
Spouse to an inquiry wired by Colonel
C. H. Englesby, announced that the
South Dakota Cavalry will be called
into service on July Is along with the
national guard organizations of veri-
Gus states.
1t is intimated, from other sources,
that since. cavalry has been utilized
but very little in the present war,
the South Dakota cavalry may be con-
verted into artillery-but that is a
matter for future determination.
Under plans recently perfected, it
is found that a few more enlistments
are necessary to complete the organ
ization of the regiment. This is nee
essitated, in part, by the discharge of
a number of the younger men who
enlisted, the colonel having dismissed
all those Is years of age or under.
Then, too, the various troops will
be recruited to the maximum strength;
hence. unless enlistments have been
recorded within the last two days,
about fifty more men could be used
to fill out the roster.
Whether the cavalry boys will be
given their first field training In the
state, and whether the site selected
will be near WATERFOWL or some other
state city, are matters vet to be
worked out.
So far publicly reported, only a few
cities In the state are under consider
alton for training quarters. These
are Sioux Falls, Mitchell. Aberdeen
and Watertown.
The governor, technically speaking,
will have the naming of the place. but
It is stated that he will be guided en-
sireiy by the suggestion of the war;

to be in the state in the near

CUBS IN PASADENA CAMP TO
BEGIN WORK IMMEDIATELY
BY Mark Shields

This afternoon the Cubs roll into
Pasadena, and, unless Manager Nit
Cheu makes a radical change in his
plans, actual training work will be-
gin tomorrow, with the athletes in
uniforms. Mitchell is a believer in
plenty of work in spring camp, and
there are only a few days for prep
aratiOn at Pasadena. The second
squad will be on the road within a
few days and in that short time Nit
cheu must decide who will go with
Sheckard's combination.
Some of the infield recruits are al
ready coming in for a share of no
tice, but none of them has done any
thing to warrant the belief he can
shove aside a regular. ShOrtstOp is
the only job for which there is even
a fighting chance for a new infielder,
and even there it is probable Chuck
Workman has ability enough to stall
off the rush of the rockies.
Several members of the team were
waiting when the crew arrived at
Pasadena, and Mitchell saw some
new faces. Harry WoIter was greet
ed and threatened to GUST one of the
regular outfieIders. If Wolter is as
good as when he was in the Ameri-
can league he will make a fight
worth noticing. Speed and ability to
run the bases was one of his greatest
assets in those days, and the Cubs
are not pIentifuIy supplied with fell
lows who can sneak their way
around the paths.

Hammer refused to go on during the
ninth round of his fight with Milburn
SaylOr at Gary, and Referee Ed
Smith declared the affair no fight.
It was an unsatisfactory ending to
an unsatisfactory bout. Hammer
claimed repeated fouls, and there
was little doubt that SayIOr was
making a rough fight. The referee
said he had no power to name a win
ner in nO-decisiOn fight, so no one
knows officially who copied. If
Hammer was fOuled it. would seem
he is automatically entitled to the
verdict. If he quit without cause it
would seem that SaylOr should have
the victory. But the ways of prize
fights these days are too deep and
complex for the ordinary mind.

Which is a reminder, perhaps, of the mecca the United States has be- come for Art in war time.
 European artists by the hundreds, unable to rake in the shekels in their native countries, are in America, brightening our stage and making the domestic artist step lively to keep up.
 Even from Australia came few. One young man by the name of Per- cy Grangier, pianist and composer of ultra-high abilities, Chit" Ameri- ca nearly two years ago and was snapped up by a leading American publisher and his highbrow pieces played by the foremost orchestra. But when America went into the war Grangier got into, an army band and in addition, has been granted fur loughs to play for Red Cross benefits. The point is, America just now is filled witr artistic brains from all ov- CT the world, whether or not we al- ways realize they are here. It is more than likely that after the war most of these men and women will re- main in the country and play a great part in developing our artistic in- structions.

TERROR OF THE DEPTH
 BOMB.

Naturally, the allied governments are not publishing to the world exact ly how the submarine menace is being made less of menace. But judging from frequent references to them in the dispatches, the depth bomb" is perhaps the most effective weapon yet advised.
 This metallic barrel-shaped con- tainer for high explosives is discharg- ed by an automatic pressure device when it reaches a certain depth in the water.
 It was invented in America.

As everyone knows, there wasn't much freedom in Russia in the old days. Since the various revolutions began revoluting, however, and the Maximalists, Bolsheviki, Socialists, Syndicalists and Minimumists have come into power, one would have anti cipated something more in line with the so-called ''ideals" of these folks.
 It seems, however, that freedom" in Russia is of no greater variety or extent than in the czar's regime. What pleases the Bolsheviki can be done; what doesn't please it cannot be done just like previously what pleas cd the czar could be practiced, and what didn't suit his fancy was taboo.
 Consider the alleged freedom of the Russian press since the Bolsheviki came to power. Is it any more free than in the days of the czar? Not that the press can notice it! In fact, more Russian papers have been sup pressed by the Bolsheviki in their short reign so far than was the case in years during the czar's regime.
 These radicals are all right yelling at tyranny-when they're on the out side looking in. But let them get on the inside of the houses of government and a certain amount of tyranny against those who d% not agree with them seems absolutely essential.
