KITCHENER'S RULES,
AT FORT SHERIDAN
Copies of Last instructions to British
Forces for Guidance of American
Student Officers.
lBy Assoclated Press.l

Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, May 80. - For
assistant instructors at the reserve
officers training camp here the gov
ernment has taken military instructors
from high schools which is interpreted
here as an evidence that 1t Is intended
to build tomorrow on the virile, ag-
gressive youth Of today.
On the bulletin boards about the
camp yesterday there. were posted
copies of Lord Kitchener's last instruc-
tions to the British force about to
leave for the French front. In part in
the instructions read:
"You have to perform a duty which
will not only require discipline and
perfect steadiness under fire. but also
that you maintain the most friendly
relations with those whom you are
helping In the struggle. Be invariably
courteous, considerates and kind. Never
do anything likely to destroy property
and always look on looting as a dis
graceful act. You are sure to meet
with welcome and be trusted; your
conduct must justify that welcome
and trust. In this new experience you
NAV find temptation both in wine and
women. You must entirely resist both
temptations and while treating all
women with perfect courtesy you
should avoid any intimacy. Do your
duty bravely. Fear God"
Instructors at the camp said 1t was
becoming more apparent each day that
the spirit prevailing at Fort Sheridan
sis akin to the one which obtains in
the trenches of France where the off1-
Gers and men are on a footing of
comradeship."
However the discipline is rigid and
there is not a trace OF relaxation IN
the ironclad rules.

2 COUNTIES TO
CALL MEETINGS
FOR DELEGATES
Ransom and Ramsey Have
Failed to Come Under Re-
publican Convention
HALL TO ADOPT
LANGER'S RULING
Says He Will Use Ballot
Form Laid Down-No
Time Limit

In two counties, Ransom and Ram
seyy the Republican county commit
tees have failed to call county con-
ventions to name delegates to the dis
trict convention that will be held in
Grand Forks on June 20 for the pur-
pose of naming the party candidate for
congress to succeed the late H. T.
Helgesen.
In both counties, according to L. l.
Twichell, Fargo, secretary of the dis
trict congressional committee, mass
will be held for the pur-
pose of naming the delegates. Nonpar-
tisans control the committees in the
counties that have failed to act.
No Time Limit Fixed.
Attorneys who have Investigated the
laws governing the holding of a spec
ial election, find that there is no pro-
vision as to the time that petitions or
must be filed with the
secretary of state. Under the general
statute, a 30-day period Is required,
but there is an express provision that
exempts special elections from that
requirement.
Hence. attorneys in Fargo are
agreed, the secretary Of state will be
q reasonable period prior to the elec-
ton, and the reasonable period" will
be governed, they hold. by the time
that is required to certify the nomina-
tions to the various counties, and per-
nit the ballots to be printed and dis
tributed to the polling places.
Will Abide by Opinion.
Thomas Hall, secretary of state, in
a statement given out at Bismarck
declares his intention Of
abiding by the opinion of the attorney
general, with respect to the form Of
ballot
Under the attorney generals opin-
ion, only individual nominations are
the party heading being done
away with entirely.
The secretary of states announced
intention Of accepting the attorney
generals ruling will make 1t necessary
for the nominee Of the Republican
to proceed to Bismarck
with his certificate of nomination and
papers in the mandamus suit that is
proposed as a means Of compelling the
to accept the party nominee
and place his name in the Republican
column.
