NEED MONEY
TO FIGHT WAR
Economy Given AS Reason
For Closing Indian
School at Bismarck

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 26.-In view
of the costs Of the war and the neces-
sity for economy in every department
of the national government, the de-
partment Of the interior has decreed
that the Bismarck Indian school be
closed for the remainder Of the cur
rent school year. The matter has
been under consideration for some
time, and the decision OF the depart
ment is announced in g. telegram re-
cefved today by Mayor A. w. Lucas
from Franklin X. Lane, secretary OF
the interior.
Secretary Lane says: "Your tele-
gram Of November flowing to the
present emergency and financial
stress due to war conditions, inabili-
ty to maintain the school without an
excessive expenditure and the fact
that the pupils can be cared for in
other schools at much less cost and
equally as well, it was deemed a
wise policy temporarily to discontinue
it now rather than face the certain
necessity of closing this and school
in the vicinity prior to the expiration
Of the school year."
AS a matter Of fact very few chill
dren from the Bismarck school will go
to other institutions. Families of
students here have been coming in
for the last ten days and taking their
children back to the reservations,
where they will remain. Other
schools ARE regarded by the Indians
as too far from home, encouraging
homesickness to which every Indian,
young or old, is subject and which
has frequently been known to prove
fatal

LENINE's PLATFORM.

Nikolai Lenine, the Maximalist
premier of Russia for the time being,
has issued a platform, which takes
the form Of a series OF questions and
answers.
Some copies Of the platform have
been received in America, and The
New York Times publishes a trans
lation by the instructor in Russian
at the College Of the City OF New
York.
1t is interesting to try to figure out
just what rights, besides funeral
rites, and the right to pay bills viii
be left a man who is not a workman,
a peasant or a soldier.
Here are some Of the questions and
answers:
Q.-what social class do We
represent?
Ave represent the class
conscious proletaries, hired la
borers, and the poorer portion OF
the rural population.
Q.-what is our attitude
toward Socialism?
Ave stand for Socialism.
The Workmen's Councils must
at once take the necessary prac-
teal steps for the realization OF
the Socialistic program. They
must Immediately take over the
control Of the banks and capital
istic syndicates, with a view to
Matchmaking them; that is,
making them the property of the
whole people.
Q.-What form of state organ.
ization do we advocate?
Ave advocate a republic Of
councils OF workmen, soldiers,
peasants, etc. All the power
must belong to them,
Q.-Should we support the
Provisional government?
A,-No. Let the capitalists
support it. Our aim is to make
the councils the only authority
and power in the country.
Q.-Is it necessary to convOks
the constituent assembly?
Ayes, and as soon as pos
sible. The guarantee Of its suc-
cess lies in the growth Of the
councils in number and power,
and in the arming Of the masses
Of workmen.
Q.-Does the state need a po-
lice force of the usual type and
a standing army?
A.-Not at ALL The people
must be made synonymous with
the army and militia. The
capitalists must pay the work.
men for their service in the
militia.
Q.-Should the army officers
be elected by the soldiers?
Ayes. Furthermore, every
step of the officers and generals
must be verified by special depu-
ties from the soldiers.
Q.-Should the soldiers Gust
their superiors without author
ity?
Ayes. This is useful and
necessary in every respect. The
soldiers only obey and respects
the authorities they elect.

FIGURES WHICH SHOUT.

Without comment Of any kind, the
war department last week issued a
report on the health of the United
States expeditionary forces.
The report covered the week end
ing Nov. 9. and the various diseas-
es were CLASSIFIED under the term
general admission rate. This was
explained to mean the number Of
new cases OF any one disease which
would be found per thousand men
per year. provided the proportion
continued during the year as 1t did
Tor the week, covered by the report.
The admission rate per thousand
WAS as follows: pneumonia, 1855;
dysentery, q; malaria, /; venereal
diseases, 1915; typhoid, o; measles,
27.7: meningitis. i; scarlet fever, 10.
Comment Is almost unnecessary.
The figures shout their own lesson.
They show minimum number Of
diseases that are due to poor santa
ton, improper food, or physical con-
dltions of the camps or bilIets. They
show that the regular life. regular
exercise, vigorous training, and strict
discipline have reduced diseases on
which they can have any bearing. TO

START FUND FOR
3SOTH BATTERY
AT CAMP DODGE
Boys From 80 Counties In
North Dakota's Artil-
lery Regiment

Bismarck, n. D.. Nov. 26.-F. r.,
Shepherd, Of the First National
bank, has been named local treasurer
for the 33Gth Field artillery mess
fund. This battery Of the national
army stationed at Camp Dodge is
made up entirely of men from North
Dakota, the entire regiment having
been called to the colors from the
counties Of Adams. Benson, Billings.
Bottineau, Bowman, Burke, Burleigh,
Divide, Dunn, Eddy, Emmons, Fos-
ter, Golden Valley, Grand Forks,

McHenry, Mckenzie, Mclean, Mer-
Ger, Mortos, Mountrail, Oliver, Pierce,
Ramsey, Renville, Rolette, Sheridan,
Sioux, Slope, Stark, Stutsman, Town
er, Ward Wells and Williams.
This will be North Dakota's first
artillery regiment in the war. The
men have made a splendid showing
OF efficiency in training, and its col
onel, Francis w. Honecutt, has been
quoted as stating that he never has
seen a better body Of material from
which soldiers may be manufactured.
Mess Fund Necessary.
Uncle Sam supplies every man with
food and clothing and equipment to
keep him in good physical trim, but
ne does not make allowance for
recreation equipment such as base
balls. boxing gloves. footballs, books,
papers and other things that tend to
make a soldiers life happier. The
daily food allowance per man is 41.97
cents and this does not allow him
much leeway for ice cream, pie, but
ter, milk, Thanksgiving dinners and
so forth. The only way these things
can be procured is from battery
funds.
The Slope has been liberal in raIs-
ing company funds for its national
guardsmen. To date 1t has given lit
tie thought to the select service men,
who are every whit as much "our
boys. The money which is now be-
ing raised will be divided between
