Townshend, company and platoon
commanders Immediately began plan
ming to teach the men the aquatic
art. The instruction was begun with
five companies of student officers,
two provisional companies OF selected
men and company of the sanitary
corps AS new recruits were added
to the camp they were taught the
rudinents OF swimming Immediately.
The first part of the instruction is
conducted on terra firma the units
lining up on the beach, where they
practice the various strokes Then
they are taken into the water for ac-
tual instruction.
Recently an entire battalion was
taken to the beach and taught swim
ming The results from this expert
ment we're so successful that now the
troops are given swimming lessons in
regiments.
AttoIuiHB W tne report W the tiaih-
ing camp commission by J. B. Mac
cabe. athletic director at the camp,
the officers felt little apprehension
as to the safety of the men when
they We're taken to the water for the
first time, but their fears were soon
Gispelled, for the soldiers took to
swimming like ducks. They not only
made rapid progress, he says, but
they had the time of their lives, and
before the fifteen minutes were up
the men were gleefully chasing each
other and shouting like so many
schoolboys on holiday. Thus the
high recreational as we'll as the mill
tary value of swimming was demon
strated. 1t is this combination the
training camp commission endeavors
to strike In every sport it introduces

GREAT WALL OF CHINA IN POINT
OF AS WAR DEFENSE

The celebrated Hindenburg line, or
Siegfried line. barring the Allies
road to Berlin has been compared
lw the German leaders to the great
wall OF China. Until the British broke
it iii the spring of 1917 they believed
it impregnable to assault, as was once
the Chinese wall, and regarded 1T as
the eighth wonder of the world.
The Hindenburg line as generally
defined is about 60 miles long, run
ming in a general north and south di-
rectioH~ across the Picardy Plains III
France. It's northern extremity was
guarded by the heavily fortified bas-
ton OF Vimy Ridge and by the mining
city of Lens. whose underground cor
ridors and chambers long have bar
red the British. The southern end Of
the Hindenburg lipef proper, is in the
vicinity of La Fere or Laon. That
end is protected in part by the forest
of ST. Gobam and the Notifications
around Laon. - -,
Between Vimy Ridge o nthe north
and La Fere on the south the line
passes~west of Cambria and st. Quen-
tin SO as to, protect those two i'm
portant industrial and railway CEN
tiers, which are routes for bringing
up supplies for the German army.
Some war correspondents describe
the German line as continuing south
eastward FROM La Fere to the Aisne
rivert and Rheims, following the line
of the Chemin DIES Danes. They call
that part Of the line southeast of La
Fere the Albreich line. This would
add about as miles, making total
length of more than 100 miles. Cen
orally, however, the Hindenburg line
has been described as running only
from Yimy Ridge to La Fere.
Fearing that the northern end OF J
the line might be turned the Germans
established switch line connecting
with the Hindenburg line at Queant
and running north about 20 miles to
Drocourt. They called this switch
the WOtan line.
The northern end Of the Rinden-
burg line and the Wotan line both
have been broken more than once by
the British armies and both are now
in possession of the British armies.
Long ago the Germans lost Vlmy
Ridge and have failed to retake it.
The Hindenburg line is not trench,
but a system OF field Notifications.
In, places it is said to be ten miles
deep, consisting not only of-the trench
system, but Of multiple lines of barbed
wire entanglements, concrete posi-
tons for artillery, deep dugouts capa-
BILE of housing a battalion OF troops.

penitentiary without a trial by jury.
Yet one or two Of our justices seem
disposed to hold 10 the contrary be-
cause of an old and erroneous decision
in the .Markuson, case. Is n. d. |
must tell you, in confidence, that in
one respect, Judges are much like "a
herd of sheep.-when one does wrong
they all go wrong. When they make
wrong decision, then in similar cas-
es. tney are disposed to adhere TO the
wrong and to build error upon error
T. Hence, think it, would be a real
blessing if the law reports and the rec
ords of the old decisions were all
burned up. Indeed, the habit of fol
lowing error has prevailed to such
an extent that in some states judges
have been bribed to- fix and word
their decisions to mislead the inno-
cent and trusting Judges i1 other
states. ~ r&5
Though il may seem quite absurd,
there is hardly a case, argued before
our court that the attorneys do not
ring in and cite decisions from half
the states of the union. For instance,
in 35 N. D. 244-274, there is a thirty
page case in which the attorneys and
the court cite over five hundred de-
cisions from other states. The cita-
tons cover some nine pages; and for
booking the useless stuff, the people
do pay about $40 a page. Il purpose
to ask the next legislature to cut that
FALL out" and TO make no appropriation
for reporting any, decisions in excess
of four or five pages. -,.s ,s-. *.
There is no reason for paying to a
reported $500 when the clerk Of our
court could do the Same for $500.
Within the next few years, l. hope
the lawyers will learn to make short
err and better briefs and arguments
and that the judges will learn to make
shorter and better decisions. to state

lister justice without delay as required

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-09-28

September %, l91S.-When l first
took office really hoped that by this
time our court would be up with, it's
work and have a clean slate SO, as to.
decide every appeal within thirty
days, but that is all matter OF the
future.
On January /, 1916, when three
judges were retired after holding
month after their term expired, ), they
left undecided $50 appeals when they
should have left a clean slate. At the
present there are undecided 1876. APP
,peals. Fifty of these were argued
and submitted and most OF them
should have been decided in the days
OF long ago. Now, what are the .rea-
sons for such gross failure to ad'
minister justice without delay; as l
think, one Of the chief reasons is that
each Judge does feel perfectly at lib
erty to follow the old custom, to- do
his work or leave it undOne, to pass
large part of his time in fishing,
hunting, speech-making or in some
outing. There is rarely a day or a
week that III Of the Judges are to
be found at their chambers during
regular business hours; some are
nearly always absent or tardy for one,
two or three days in a week. They
do not seem to think it a sin or a
shame to draw a good salary for doing
work which is left undone. When the
next legislature meets we must ask for
law requiring judges and other state
officers to give an accounting of their
work before receiving a voucher for
their monthly salary. Without super
vision or accounting, it is folly to look
for efficiency in any public service.
TO clear the slate we must allow less
time for talk. write shorter. decisions,
and give full time to the work,
No one has yet attempted to show
any error in.Ihe law or logic of my
l:opinion holding that under the consti'
tuition Of the state. no person may be
convicted of crime and sent to the
