opportunity to disprove the objections

applicants for the camp.
The senator's and congressman con-
ferred, with Secretary Baker this morn
ing and laid before him positive as
surance that any facilities the depart
|ment demanded will be forthcoming by
the city Of Des oMines. They denied
that the railway facilities, sewerage

that all Des Moines, a city Of more

triotic opportunity to offer to the war

make Des Moines an ideal site for the

Secretary Baker said, I'VE have had

General Barry ct Chicago. II it de-

General Barry has the complaints

The resolution passed on Thursday
by the pan-Russian congress of coun-
cils of deputies is regarded. as signal
defeat to the extremists and pacifists,
the motion supporting the provision

jority Of more than four to one.

Speeches Of similar tenor in the

representative Of the Kuban Cossacks
said: I'VE shall support the provision

A delegate from the Ukraine for
merly the location Of the famous Sa-
poro Cossacks, declared that his coun-
trymen would fight side by side with
the Cossacks until Germany was de-
clared beaten into dust.
One Of the most favorable features
OF the situation on the front is the
formation Of "storming battalions, "
which are newly created army units
composed of soldiers who favor pol
icy Of active fighting. Soldiers who
wish to fight are transferred to battal-
lions composed entirely Of men holding
this view. These men receive red and
black arm bands to distinguish them
from shirkers. Their function is to
lead in the attacks.
The movement started In the extreme
south wing OF the army, but now there
are storming battalions everywhere.
DR.. Eugene Hurd. Of Seattle, who has
been with. the central army since the
beginning of the war, says the idea
is spreading like wildfire. Before
starting for this city DR.. Hurd saw two
splendid new divisions composed of
storming batta1ions. He also met sew
eral trains of soldiers on the way to
the front. all wearing the red and Black
badge. He predicts that. nearly all the
soldiers will join the storming parties,
and regards the movement as signal
