WELL TRAINED
ENGINEERS Are
WORLDS NEED
Babcock Urges Boys With
Mechanical Ability to
Specialize In Work

Grand Forks, N. D., July TO-
Every high school boy who possesses
mechanical ability is urged to con-
tinue his training along this line by
DR.. E. j. Babcock, dean of the college
of engineering of the state univer-
sity.
The Importance of the we'll
trained technical engineer to the in
dustrial world has probably never
been more clearly manifest than it is
today, says the engineer. I'm the
present European war, the work Of
the engineer, has from the start,
been a factor of the greatest inn
portance".
He says that the demand on the
university of North Dakota for
technical graduates in the, various
lines is far in excess of the number
of men available, and that all the
members Of this years engineering
graduates were quickly called to
positions.
"In mining and Industrial engi-
neering, there was a remarkable de-
mand", says Mr.. Babcock. zone of
the very large mining companies Of
South America engaged, at excellent
salaries, within the year, three of
the mining engineering graduates
and these proved so efficient and
satisfactory that others were called
for but could not be furnished.
There is little doubt that the fields
of engineering and industrial acti-
witty will continue to have a rapid
growth in the future.

There are many things for us to
learn, in addition to the industrial
problem of standardizing parts,
speeding up production, and seeing
that the flying machines reach the
other side after they are built.
Training aviators to endure the
vicissitudes of flight under such abb

Dayton, o., July 10.-When Orville

chine and the first man in the world
to fly, was asked to express his
opinion as to the probable effect of
an efficient carrying out of the air.
craft production boards plan for an
appropriation of $500, 100000 for 35,-
900 airplanes and thousands of
aviators, he replied that, as the war
was being run absolutely from
above, the United States could win
1t in the air. Ten thousand flying
machines, he said. would end the
war in ten weeks.
When the Germans have been
driven out of the air, the allies will
be supreme and the war will end,
declared Wright. ITO do this we
need a great number of small air
planes of the sort that have success
fully chased the Zeppelins. At pres
ent the difference between Ave years
or more of war and an early victory
for the allies is ten thousand air
planes.
How long the war will last de-
ponds therefore on the capacity we
show in coping with the very great
problem of producing without un-
necessary delay the small 2 fighting
machines needed at the front. The
allies long since obtained control of
the air, but their present advantage
in this respect falls short of being
an overwhelming superiority.

New York, July 10-Emma Gold
man and Alexander Berkman, an
archists, convicted here last night OF
conspiracy to obstruct operation OF
the selective draft law, started fol-
prison in the custody Of federal mar
shals a few hours after the verdict
had been returned.
Berkman will be taken to the fed
eral penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca, and
Miss Goldman to the state peniten-
tiary at Jefferson City, Mo. Each was
sentenced by Federal Judge Mayer to
the maximum penalty of two years
Imprisonment and to pay a fine of
$4,000.
The prisoners were in defiant mood
during their departure. Marshal Nc
Carthy permitted few friends to
tell them goodbye and as they were
being put into a patrol wagon, Berk-
man said: I'VE are going straight to
Petrograd by way of Atlanta and
Jefferson City. We're glad to CO."
1T is cruelty added to injustice to
deny us the privilege of remaining
here a few days. Miss Goldman said.
'They are spiriting us away without
giving us a chance to get fresh
clothes.
I'VE are anarchists now and an
archists we will be when we come
out" she shouted as they were driv-
en- away.
I'VE were convicted because we
were anarchists" Berkman said.
''The very fact that we were denied
a few days relief is because we are
anarchists Miss Goldman declared,
''and it shows the prejudiced attitude
of the court"
In charging the jury Judge Mayer
said:
'HThis is not a question of free
speech, for free speech is guaranteed
to us under the constitution, but free
speech means not license, not coun-
selling disobedience of the law"
In addition to the severe sentence
Miss Goldman and Berkman are Ii
able to be deported. Berkman is not
a citizen and Miss Goldman claims
citizenship only on her fathers ap-
plication.
In sentencing the prisoners Judge
Mayer said he regretted they had
not put their abilities to better use,
since they could have been highly
influencing elements in imparting
knowledge to the foreigners who
come here"
Miss Goldman asked to have the
verdict set aside on "all the grounds
and all the formalities." Time will
be allowed for the convicted anarch-
lists to make formal appeal for a new
trial.

eight miles northeast of Dayton. 1t
contains four square miles of terri
tory, beautifully situated. A bit of
sentiment is found in the circum-
stance that it includes the original
testing grounds of the Wright Broth
ers at what was then known as
Simms Station. The old airpiane
shed is to be left standing in this
COW pasture. A mile and a half
away 5000 men, under the supervis-
ion of Captain Warning Of the Unit
ed States army signal corps are en-
ployed in erecting forty hangers,
which will house 240 flying ma
chimes, barracks for officers and
men, mess halls, and SO on, and in
tearing down houses, barns, fences
and other distractions on the $500
acre field. This training ground has
been named the Wilbur Wright field.
The government has just started
the construction of an airplane sup
ply depot on that field to cost $780,
900. 1t is authoritatively asserted
that Dayton, which gave the flying
machine to the world, will in the
greatest war of the world be the
center of the flying machine develop
ment from the. point Of. view of sup
plying aircraft to the allies, training
soldiers and civilians to fly, and in
research work, at which Orville
Wright is engaged without Interrupt
ton and in entire sympathy with the
aims of the members of the aircraft
production board.
In addition to the Wilbur Wright
field, there is also, northeast of Day
ton, about a mile and a half from the
center of the town, another aviation
ground known as Wright field, where
civilians are to be trained. Two
other training grounds are south of
Dayton, so that four large flying
fields are in the immediate vicinity
of the city.

Mott, n. D., July 10.-Three
charges-threatening to kill. grand

Fisher was first arrested on the
charge of stealing 200 bushels Of
flax from his neighbors and was held

which he failed to furnish.
The second offense advanced was
threatening to kill. He waived ex-
