someness Of the women left in the

not help but captlvate the audience.
Later the soldiers return and re-
port the conditions of the war Low
ers meet and embrace each other.

U. 5. AVIATORS
ARE PLEASED AT
ITALIAN CAMP

American seaplane Training
Camp Italy. June 7.-Correspondenc'
OF The Associated Press)-Americar
admiration for the Italian efficiency
and hospitality Is one OF the senti-
mental facts which has developed
here since the establishment Of this
camp on the edge Of an inland lake
by joint agreement Of the navy de-
partment of the two nations.
I'VE can't say en&Igh nice things
about our italian friends from any
point Of view" explained the Amer
lean commander Of the students
Their efficiency Is only eQualled by
their capacity for friendship. Their
hospitality is unbounded. They don't
seem to be able to do enough for
u.s."
This Is certainly no place for
boob fliers," declared one Of the
young ensigns who, having obtained
his brevet at Pensacola, Florida, has
come down here with a group Of 9th
ers to learn the Italian water ma
chimes" The italian instructor pi-
lots are all crack men and the Ital-
ian machinists are the most compe-
tent crowd l have met. They have
the sixth sense, all right. They can
detect a defective motor when the
machine is two thousand feet high
and flying at eighty miles an hour.
When a man learns to fly here he
can fly anywhere in any machine"
The training camp here is one of
the many dozens that have been es-
tablished all over Italy in connection
with Italy's ambition to conquer in
the air. When Senator Pho Foa COM
planned in the italian senate that
there were so many aviation camps
in Italy that ground useful for
grain cultivation was being unduly
occupied, he was not very far wide
Of the mark.
For the past two years italian Of
ficers have ben insisting that vic
tory would come only through the
air, and these camps are the result
Of the effort in that direction. Ac-
cording to the commissioner general
Of aeronautics, Chiesa, Italy today
has 10000 men in various branches
Of machine manufacture.
That American aviators are at last
coming into Italy first for training
and later for fighting is a subject
of satisfaction to all Italians and
particularly to the Italian aviation
corps.
AS a mark Of Italys pride at hav-
ing Americans to train, one of the
navy's distinguished air machine Of
ficers was instructed to build the
camp. He is technically in charge
of the camp, with an American COM
mander to control the training Of
the American students.
The work Of turning out men for
active service as observers or pilots
has gone on rapidly. The big prob
lem is to keep the men flying, to
give them the practice necessary to
make an all round man. Thirty hours
in the air is generally re-
quired for each man. This seems
like a small amount of time until 1t
Is realized that his means at least

100 flights Of Is minutes each and
that it is not always easy to give
each man as much one flight Of Is
minutes a day. Flying Is like farm
ing. It is regulated by the weather.
Scapiano flying is quite a differ
ent art from that Of so-called land
plane flying. In both the landing
is difficult, but in seaplane flying
the landing cannot be made without
danger If there is mist hanging over
the water or IL the waters surface
Is mirrorlike, since In either case the
flier cannot Judge distances and in
nosing preliminary to landing he may
hit the water too soon, drown himself
and wreck a valuable machine. Fur
Their, every condition varies accord
ing to the type of machine being
used.

is accused in the federal court and
indicted for violation Of the espion-
age act, be given protection.
The advertised debate between w.
J. Workman. editor OF The Bowman
Pioneer, and Walter Thomas Mills,
was scheduled by the Nonpartisan
speaker for the evening, but Work
man insisted that it take place dur
returned home. Workman'S atti-'
tude. and the insistence of the farm
ers that the debate take place while
they were there, finally resulted in
the event being staged" Workman
had stated that he would not occupy
the platform or discuss with any man
under federal indictment, and Mills
promised that Brinton would not be
there.
Workman spoke first, from the
steps Of the county jail, to over 300
people. He declared that under sec
ton four Of the store company con-
sell goods from the store at whole
sale plus freight and 10 per cent
but only those goods they may order
through the store. Workman also
dealt with the plan by which the
company eventually came into COM
pIete possession of the stores with
out obligations of any kind to any
body, and he cited the attitude OF
the Farmers union.
Mills, in response. declared that
the Farmers union resolutions were
not being supported by r. j. ].
Montgomery, president Of the union,
who was recently appointed by Gov
ernor Frazier to the state council Of

the store memberships were life

to be used in creating wholesale es-

When Workman discovered that
the league men planned to put Brin-
ton on the platform. he retired. Brin-
ton gave his attention - largely to
personalities, attacking Workman
bitterly.
In the evening Mills gave another
soap box talk.

Minot, N. D., June lot may seem
strange for a "stand-pat" Democrat
to be supporting Republican candi-
dates but I don't hesitate to tell you
am for our own Pat Norton for

ernor Of North Dakota, for I'm for
Old Glory first, the party second"
writes Lieutenant William O'Leary
164th Headquarters Co., A E. F., to a
friend in Minot. Lieut.. O'Leary, who
was recognized as one Of the leading
Democrats in this part of the state,
resigned his federal position in the
local land office to go over with a
national guard unit. The soldiers
from North Dakota are very interest
ed in the coming elections, he says,
and their hopes for success go to the
men opposing the Townley ticket.
Hankinson, N. D., June 1O.-That
there is strong opposition among
the farmers Of Richland county to
the doctrine being preached by the
Nonpartisan league Socialist lead
ers is evidenced by the large attend
ance at meeting Of farmers held
in Mooreton, when a. local branch of
the Richland County Independent
Voters association was formed.
E. W. Everson of Walum, member
Of the state legislature who parted
company with the Socialist leaders
during the last session of the as
sembly, when he refused to bind
himself to vote for H. B. "A, was one
of the principal speakers, revealing
for the first time the inside workings
Of the secret caucus.
In Minnesota and North Dakota,
where the league leaders have Sc
lected legislative candidates, they
have required of such candidates a
pledge that they will be bound by
the decision of the majority Of the
league elected members, and it has
been officially admitted in league
publications that the caucus plan
will rule again If the league wins
control. In view Of that fact, Mr..
Everson's description Of its work is
especially significant.
Mr.. Everson explained that he was
elected on the league ticket from
Griggs county. AS a farmer he
thought the league was good. en-
arriving in Bismarck, he says he was
presented with a card of admission
to the nightly caucuses held by the
league members. None but league
members, armed with such admis-
sion ticket, were permitted to at
tend, except that Townley, president
Of the league, usually was present,
