RANGE SYSTEM
Lieut.. Melvin Hildreth
Earns Commentator
To Headquarters
. ALnew range system

A new range system for artn-
lery, which is declared by United
States artillery officers in France as
being an improvement over the
checkerboard system now in, use, has
been devised by Lieut.. Melvin Hid
reth, son of Col. and Mrs. VI. A. Hid
reth, Fargo, according to advices re-
ceived in Fargo, but it's use is said
to greatly facilitate range finding and
the concentration of the fire of any
number of guns.
Under the present system each gun
has q given square to cover with its
shells, a map Of which Is in the
hands of the officer in charge of the
gun. t..
Lieutenant Hildreth is serving with
the American light artillery in
France. He was associated in the
practice of law with his father, who
was United States district attorney
prior to his enlistment. ~

The foregoing press dispatch gives
some idea of the increased cost OF
publishing newspapers under wal
conditions, and throws an additional
burden upon the business that will
unquestionably have far, reaching
consequences. ........ -s.4
Some indication of what the item
Of print paper means to the average
newspaper may be realized in a
comparison Of the present prices
compared with those existing in
April. 1917, the cost to the Forum in
that period having advanced in ex-
cess o 100 per cent. -.
In April, 1917, print paper on the
track in Fargo, cost the Forum
$3.50 ton. while today the same
ton Of paper, on the track in Fargo,
costs $80.55. This increase is
brought about through the advance
in the price of paper Itself and the
25 per cent freight increase, and
other items that enter into the
handling of print paper. 80
What the increased print paper
price means to the Forum may be
better understood when it is realized
that the paper consumption for the
year of 1917 was $50 TONS. 80 - f. s.r,-
Other items entering into; the in
creased cost of newspaper publish
ing are the advance in postage rates,

There are two places on the front

operations durin the winter will be
Virtually impossible but American of
ficers insist that as Per cent Of the
front offers no real obstacle to a
continuance OF the fight. 1t is not
questioned that operations will be
slowed down but even so, the adj
vantage will be with the attacking
side, especially since 1t is known that
German material is growing scarcer.
Last winter was much more severe
than is ordinarily the case and those
responsible for plans of campaign
calculate that by the law of aver
ages the coming winter VIII be mild

The American Part.
1t is to be expected that they will
continue to deliver short smashing
jolts against the pivotal center of the
long sweeping line. The big gains
made between the American front
and the sea are conceded to have
been due in large measure to the
menacing demonstration by the AIn-
orleans and by the enforced employ
rnent by the Germans OF 80 divisions

Chicago, April 15.-Government
prosecutors today completed their
plans for the re-opening OF the trial
of the members OF the Industrial
Workers of the World before Judge
Lands Monday.
With the ll2 defendants already
before the court, it was announced
by Frank X. Nebeker, special as
sistant to the attorney general, that
three other men who had been ar
rested in other cities would probably
be brought to Chicago in time to
be added to the list. One man was
arrested in Cleveland, another in

shoes made oi:' asked the examin-
ing officer suddenly thrusting out

Another candidate has proieSsed to

wouldn't shoot at him at all, replies
the canny applicant, showing that
he knows the difficulties involved
in hitting the fastest flying duck the
sportsman knows.
Frequently questions such as
these, in addition to testing the re-
sponse OF a man under fire. bring
out the fact that the Yankee OF
today is as big a buffer a she ever
was. A supposed marksman has
never shot with anything but an air
rifle. \ supposed hockey player is
discovered to be uncertain as to
whether eleven or fifteen men ought
to play his fayorite game, and he
thinks that the position which he
PLAYED was Shiny on your own
side A polo player has never rid
den a horse. At one time the New
York board found itself deluged
with incompetents, and reflections
sometimes ran as high as seventy
out of eighty-a result attributable
to the desire to escape the draft.
The board, though limited in num-
Der to five men, represents a knowl-
edge OF everything from scientific
farming to theoretical mechanics,
and many candidates who had Sc
lected specialties about which they
thought army officers would be ig-
norant found themselves engaged
in complicated discussions.
All applicants thus have an op-
portunity to show themselves in
fields which they know. Some men
are taken if their record and exam
nation indicate ability to respond
quickly and effectively, even ii they
have no training whatever in me-
chanics. An instructor in Latin,
expert at squash, was accepted.
If any set of men might be said
to have a passport to the ground
school, that set is not mechanics,
but football players. The word
has come back from the ground
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-04-14

and flying schools that above all
others the football player is sue
cess. One applicant who walked in
with the information that he was an
alI-American was passed without a
word, The reason why football
players are desirable is two-told:
they represent certain standard OF
intelligence on account OF the strict
scholarship requirements OF Ameri-
can universities, and they have been
trained to a combination of high
mental and physical responsiveness.
Flying is now mostly in squadron
form, and team work such as the
football man has learned is no des-
picable asset.
The question is often asked,
What becomes OF the aviation ca
Diet who is dropped at ground school
or at flying school" He has two
alternatives. Sometimes he gets a
ground aviation commission-this
usually in case he has successfully
passed his ground school and has
failed in actual flight. If there is
no offer Of a commission, the ca
Diet has the choice of going into
the army or OF returning to civil
lie.
1t might be stated here that the
percentage OF men dropped during
preliminary examinations is high.
Exact figures are not given out, but
the failures are at least 50 per cent
OF those applying, and may run as
high as IS per cent. Fully half of
these are physical-the physical re-
jections have been estimated on
good authority as running up to ~
per cent of those applying.
In case a man is deemed valuable
material he is not rejected for fail
ure to pass single tests. Retests
are not infrequent. Although no
prejudice exists with regard to age,
a large number of those failing dur
ing the training course are men over
twenty-seven. The younger men
are more often successful.
