Recruits Arrive Daily at Gettys-

Long Hikes in Heavy Marching Order
Fit Men for Duty With PERISH
ing's Army.

Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Pa.-The
American tank corps continues to grow
and develop. Recruits are still com
ing in and the men already here are
being drilled to within an inch of their
lives. This is the preliminary discip-
line and the physical drill which will
lit the men for the strenuous life Of a
tanker" overseas. Twenty-mile hikes
In heavy marching order are almost
daily occurrences.
Although the work is hard, the men
like it. They realize their need Of this
heavy drill and exercise. Negotiat-
ing the gray steel monsters over No
Mans Land is distinctly not a job for
a man whose muscles are not almost
as hard as steel itself. And for an
erstwhile civilians muscles to become
sufficiently hardened takes time and
training.
The daily work, the fresh air, plen-
ty of sleep and the excellent daily ra-
tions are doing wonders in producing
as fine a bunch Of real fighting men as
can be found anywhere. The officers
school will be continued indefinitely.
AS fast as men complete the prescribed
course, others will take their places.
From now on, all commissioned Off
GERS will be selected from the ranks.
The tank corps is a progressive
unit. Every once in a while a bat
talon will disappear overnight, bound
for Somewhere" Recruits will fill
their places and the work of training
will move right along. New officers,
trained simultaneously with the men,
will command the disappearing bat
talon.

Insidious Peace Propaganda Of
Foe Aimed at Success of the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
IS PROVING BOOMERANG
Fighting Blood of Loyal Americana
Aroused by Ruse-Answer to Con-
temptible Attack Will Be
"More Bonds"

Minneapolis, Oct. 8. - Germany's
peace offensive has been carefully
planned and timed Sc as to do the
most possible harm to the Fourth Lib.
erty Loan campaign.
In itself the proposal from Berlin
will have no direct bearing on the
ending of the war because America
and all of her Allies have already
made it very plain that any peace to
which they will accede must be pre-.
coded by the unconditional surrender
OF the Central Empires. No one who
is sane believes Germany is ready to
make terms on such a basis. The
real purpose of the peace proposals
published is to weaken the financial
and fighting determination of America
at this critical time when the success
of the greatest Liberty Loan hangs in
the balance.
From all indications as shown in
reports received by the Ninth District
Central Committee from around the
district, this object will not be
achieved.
Rogers Makes Statement.
THE statement that peace is close
Is absolutely unwarranted and a part
Of the dangerous German propagan-
d." said Chairman A. R. Rogers. "Ru-
mors to this effect have been circu-
lated all owe the district. In the ma
iority of cases, they have aroused the
lighting blood of loyal Americans.
These Liberty Loan patriots are going
to give the only proper answer to this
sort of an attack-.more bonds. Our
people are not simple enough to be
lulled into a feeling of security by any
such ruse. They are already making
and will continue to make renewed
efforts to raise their allotments. More
than that, they are going to give this
sort of an offensive the same sort of
treatment that our soldiers are giving
the armed offensives and counter at.

Every patriot in this district should
now make an additional effort so that

OBJECTS TO CHARGES
Rail Commission in Nebraska
Preparing Telephone Suit.
Will Test Right of Companies to
Charge for installation of
Apparatus.

Washington, Oct. S.-A test will be
made shortly in a United States court
of federal control of telephones.
The Nebraska railroad commission
will contest the right of the post
master general, through the director
of telephones and telegraph, to go
over the heads of state utilities com
missions in regulation of telephone
charges.
The Nebraska commission refuses
to allow telephone companies in that
state to collect a charge for installa-
ton of phones.
The postmaster general ordered
that the charge be allowed. The COM
mission claims that inasmuch as the
telephone business is largely intra-
state it's jurisdiction should not be in
terfered with by the federal govern
ment.
The courts decision will apply to
every state.
