TRAINING OF u. S. SOLDIERS
At Normal School and State School
of Mines, PIatteviIIe, Wis.

The average red blooded boy wants
to serve his country instead of going to
college, He has been told that he can
serve his country best by going to col
lege until he is twenty one. but he can
not see it that way and he has natur-
al feeling that he is losing time. Under
the war departments new plan, how
ever, high school graduate of eighteen
can enlist and go to college at the same
time. The plan provides that, begin
ming this month, military instruction,
under officers and noncommissioned Of
ficers of the army. will be provided in
every institution of college grade en-
rolling for the instruction one hundred
or more able bodied students over the
age of eighteen. The necessary military
equipment will be provided by the gov
eminent. The United States govern
ment pays for board and lodging, and
gives a monthly salary of thirty dollars
to the young men who meet the quail
fications. There will be created mil
itary training unit in each institution.
Enlistment will be purely voluntary,
but all students over the age of eighteen
will be encouraged to enlist. The en-
istment will constitute the student a
member of the army Of the United
States, liable to active duty at the call
of the President. It will, however, be
the policy Of the government not to call
the members of the training units to
active duty during the school year, un-
less urgent military necessity compels
an earlier call. Students under eighteen
and therefore not legally eligible for
enlistment will be encouraged to enroll
in the training units. Provision will be
made for coordinating the Reserve Of
ficers' Training Corps system, which
exists in about one third Of the colleg-
late institutions, with this broader plan.
You men should enlist then for
eparation-military preparation, if
YOU will-for the long pull, the pereD
NAL drive to continue till the war is
over. This preparation can be OBJ
tanned best through the schools of
America. Vocational courses, scien
tifc courses, liberal arts courses, all
give the effective weapons for the great
offensive. Fight? Yes; but add other
weapons to the machine guns and bay
onetss Education, training, skill, ini-
tiative, these are the qualities most
needed for winning the war. How
much more is the boy who has finished
college worth to his country than he
who has not? Every boy should an
swer this question to his own satisfac
ton before he selects the service into

FRENCH ADVANCE NEARER
THE CHEMIN DIES DANES
Gen. Mangin's Troops Take VaiIIy and
Occupy Plateaus and Capture g.
500 Prisoners in Drive.

London, Sept 17.-By slow but re-
lentless advances the French under
General Mangin are forcing the Ger
mans from their positions at the west
ern end of the Chemin deS Danes de-
lenses until today it is believed in
many quarters here the enemy soon
must give up part of this line, which
protects LaOn from the south.
The French war office statement in
announcing that Marshal FOch's forces
have taken Vailly. on the north bank
of the Aisne, and have occupied the
plateaus north and east Of Vauxaillon
and Celles-s ur-Aisne, reveals the grad
ual progress toward the Chemin DIES
Danes, which now is less than half a
mile away at points.
North of Laffaux MILL the French
also have taken Mont deS Singes.
The Germans have come forward re-
peatedly in this region in an effort to
stay the advance Of General Mangln,
but in the local fighting here for
week have slowly but surely been
driven back. The fierceness and stub
bornness of their resistance is shown
by the official announcement that the
French have taken more than 5000
prisoners in these recent operations,
On the British front Field Marshal
Haig's men have advanced eastward
from Ypres, and in the neighborhood
of La Bassee. Farther to the south
the lines have been thrown out until
posts have been re-establiShed at Oppy
and Sauchy -Ohuchy, north Of the Ar
ras-Cambrai road.
Havrincourt and GouzeaucOurt, still
farther to the south have been under
heavy artillery fire.

General Crowder Says Great Problem
Now Is to Classify Reg
istrants.

Washington, Sept. 13.-With assur-
ances from every section Of the coun-
try that the registration of America s
millions of men between the ages OF
eighteen and twenty-one and thirty
two to forty-five, inclusive, had been
accomplished with precision, Provost
Marshal General Crowder turned his
attention to the great task Of classify
ing this vast army.
Thirteen million names, approx
mately, have now been added to the
100000 already registered, making
a total man-power census of about a.
100000
The great problem now, General
Crowder said, is to classify the regis
trants justly and wisely both for the
welfare of the army and for the eco
nomic and industrial good of the ma
ton. In this connection General Grow.
der issued a statement regarding mon
productive occupations and "nonpri-

LENINE AND TROTZKY
PAID AGENTS OF HUNS
Documents Secured by U. S. Govern
ment Reveal Treachery and Plot
to War on America.

Washington, Sept. 16.-PrOofs re-
moving any doubts that Nicolai Lenlne
and Leon Trotzky, the bolshevik lead
ers, are paid German agents-f indeed
any doubts have remained-are laid
before the world by the United States
government in the first inStallment or
an amazing series of official documents
disclosed through the committee on
public information.
Secured in Russia by Edgar G. Sis
son, representing the committee (Who
was in that country during last WIN
ter 1917-18) these documents not only
show how the German government
through it's Imperial bank paid its gold
to Lenine, TrOtzky, and their imme-
date associates to betray Russia into
deserving her allies, but give added
proofs that Germany had perfected her
plans for a war of world conquest long
before the aSSasSinatiOnS at SaraJevO,
which conveniently furnished her pre-
text.
These documents further show that
before the world was was four months
old. and more than two years before
the United States was drawn into it
lin 1910, Germany already was set
ting afoOt her plans to "mObiliZe de-
structive agents and observers" to
cause explosions, strikes, and outrages
in this country, and planned the en-
ployment of anarchists and escaped
criminals" for the purpose.
Almost ranking in their sensational
nature with the notorious thinner
man note proposing war by Mexico
and japan upon the United States,
these documents lay bare new strata
of Prussian intrigue, a new view OF
the workings Of kultur to disrupt the
allies, standing between the world and
kaiserfsm. They disclosed also a new
story of human treachery for gold.
The intrigue appears to have been
carried down to the last detail Of ar
rangement with typical German sys-
tenn.
Not only do %he disclosures prove
that Lenine, TrOtzky, and their band
are palQ NefllldH dScHIo' LHey o1o"
that the bolshevik revolution, which
threw Russia into such orgy Of muir
der and excuses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by
the German general staff.
They show how the paid agents OF
Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest'
Litovsk peace" conference; how Ger
man staff officers have been secretly
received by the bolsheviki as military
advisers how they have acted as spies
upon the embassies of the nations
with which Russia was allied or al
peace; how they have directsd the
bolshevik foreign, domestic and eco
nomic policy wholly in the interest OF
Germany, AVID to the shame and deg
radiation Of Russia.
