CAMP FUNSTON MEN ARE
TRAINED VERY PROFICIENTLY

Camp Funston, Kan.-Objectives to
be reached during January in the
training of the men of the S9th ma
tional army division, stationed at
Camp Funston, have been outlined BY
Major General Charles C. Ballou, com
handing the cantonment in the alb
sence of Major General Leonard Wood,
now in France.
First on the list is the attainment
of a higher degree of discipline and
efficiency, especial attention to be paid
to violations of military courtesy and
uniform regulations. There will be
no let-up in the work of conditioning
all officers and men physically. De-
tails will continue to attend division
al schools and to receive anti gas III
structions. There will also be classes
in map reading and in the use of the
compass for officers and selected en-
listed men. Additional classes in
French will be started for officers and
selected men.
Besides the regular work of drill
ing, target practice, bayonet drill and
hand grenade work in the trenches,
| the infantry will be given training in
night warfare. Shippers for night work
will be selected from the best marks
men in the infantry.
In the artillery commands, the
school of fire and the school for nom
commissioned officers will be continu-
! ed during January. Along with the
other regular work, the artillery men
will be given instruction in the care
of horses and mules.
Besides experimenting the work on
the divisional trench system on Car
penter Hill, the engineers of the di-
vision will take up road and railroad
work and will receive instruction in
handling and packing equipment
A Diversity of Training
During January, division schools in
liaison, equations, boxing, wrestling,
teaming and packing and topography
and landscape sketching have been
started with the view of training in
structors for the division. Even mo-
ton pictures will be introduced to aid
| in the training of the men, Special
motion pictures covering important
phases of training will be employed
under the direction of the divisional
schools.
The Red Cross Work Rooms will
continue in their present location at
the court house until further notice.

pay for the support of the town and
its public institutions are reduced pro-
portiOnately.
In a word, when the merchants OF
town do not prosper the activities
Of the community are paralyzed. The
standard of wages falls, property val

The women Of this community have
the power to prevent such conditions
as these from coming into existence
They can do this merely by spending
their money where it was earned-in

GERMAN WAR POLICY is

Continued from last week.
Refutati0n by a German

REGULATION Oy herman
Lorenz Miller in the German Cath
Ollie review, Der Fels, February, 1915,
made the following statement in re-
gard to the Emperor's telegram:
"Officially no instance has been
proven of persons having fired with
the help of priests from the towers
of churches. All that has been made
known up to the present, and that has
been made the object of inquiry, con-
corning alleged atrocities attributed
to Catholic priests during this war
has been shown to be false and alto
gether imaginary, without any eXcep-
ton. Our emperor telegraphcd to the
president of the United States of
America that even women and priests
had committed atrocities during the
guerilla warfare on wounded soldiers,
doctors. and nurses attached to the
field ambulances. How this telegram
can be reconciled with the fact stated
above we shall not be able to learn
until after the war"
Refutation by Vowarts
The Vorwarts, of Berlin, October %,
1914, said:
"We have already been able to es-
tablish the falseness of great num-
Der of assertions which have been
made with great precision and pub
lished everywhere in the press, con-
corning alleged cruelties committed,
by the populations of the countries
with which Germany is at war, upon
German soldiers and civilians. We
are now in position to silence two
others of these fantastic stories.
"The war correspondent of the Ber-
liner Tagcblatt spoke a few weeks ago
