ed as stating that he never has seen
a better body of material from which
soldiers may be manufactured.
Uncle Sam supplies every man with
food and clothing and equipment to
keep him in good physical trim, but
1t does not make allowance for recrea'
tion equipment such as baseball, box

and other things that tend to make q
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, butter, milk,
Thanksgiving dinners and so forth
The only way these things can be
procured is from battery funds.
The Slope has been liberal In rails.

guardsmen. To date it has given lit

submarine.
The first news received by the par
ents of the Bismarck boy Of the sink
ing of the boat on which their son
was serving came in The Sunday Trib'
une's Associated Press dispatches
from Washington yesterday. Mrs. Var
ney Immediately communicated with
the war department., seeking to make
certain that her son is among the
survivors.
Fred Varney was born in Iowa and
came with his parents to Bismarck
about IL years ago. After spending
10 years here, he went to Duluth two
wears ago and entered the employ OF
the Bennett F1ue Blower Co. Later
he took a post with" this company at
Brooklyn, out of which point ne
shipped with the Schuylkill two
months ago as master electrician Tor
the Bennett people.
The young man has many friends
in Bismarck who are anxiously look
ing for a confirmation OF the hope
that he is among the 40 who were
saved from the torpedoed boat. The
Schuylkill was a freighter, and car
ried no passengers Neither was 1t
armed. and as non-combatants, the
worst that could happen to the crew
should it have landed at an enemy
mort. would be internment for the
period of the war.

SERVICE CORPS
Rapid Advancement Comes to
Well Known Bismarck Tele-
- phone Executive
OFFICER HAS HAD GOOD
TRAINING FOR NEW DUTY

News of the promotion of Capt. F.
E.Shuman of the United States sig
nal corps to be major Is contained in
a letter received under date of No:
venroer q from Mrs. Shuman by her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Larson,
of Third street. Mrs. Shuman, who
is with her husband at Camp Zach.
ary Taylor, Louisville KY, writes
briefly, merely stating that on the
date Of writing Captain Shuman, had
received a message from his brother,
Major Brooke Shuman, U. S. A., ad-
vislng him that his commission to be
major had been signed.
Major Shuman left Bismarck on
July l6 to enter the signal officers
training school at Leavenworth, Kans.
There he. completed q ninety days
course of training in two months, and
was made commander of Co. h, con.
tingent, composed entirely OF north.
western telephone and telegraphers,
largely recruited through Captain
Shuman's efforts. ...s |s
L He went to Camp Zachary Taylor
at the head Of this company, and there
he was almost Immediately hOnOred
by being made acting battalion COM
mander. Few men have gone into the
service better equipped than Major
eShumany His executive ability was
displayed here In Bis
marck not only in the district super.
inlendency of the North Dakota lnde.
pendent Telephone CO., but as d.
rector of the Commercial club, trus.
tee of the First Presbyterian church
and as an officer In the several Ma
sonic fralernities.
Speaking OF his rapid advancement
along military lines. ''Telephony," the
national journal of telephone men,
for November, says:
. ''The acting battalion commander,
Capt. r. l.. Shuman, has had an OK
tended experience in practical tele,
phone work. Prior to engaging in
telephone work, Captain Shuman was
with the Western Union as telegraph.
er and also in telegraph construction
work. He has worked his way up in
the telephone field from the bottom
and has had experience as installer,
wire chief and manager.
in 1908 Capt. Shuman became as.
sociated with the North Dakota lnde-
pendent Telephone Co., and later had
charge of half of North Dakota as dis
trict manager, looking after plant,
traffic and commercial matters. The
rapid development of North Dakota
made this position heavy one. Last
spring he purchased an interest In
the Mandan Telephone Co. of Mandan,
y. D., and became its president and
later became president of the Hazen
Telephone Co. of Hazen, N. D. He
still holds both of these offices.
Capt Shuman's experience was not
alone in telephone and telegraph work.
For five years he was in the Wiscon-
sin National guard and at one time
was state skirmisher champion. Cap
tain Shuman is an excellent officer, be-
ing of the type of men who will look
after the welfare of his men most
thoroughly, obtain and hold their re-
spect, and yet insist upon observation
of the military discipline
