Reserve Officers
Training Corps
Re-EStQbliShed
University Here May Be Included in
New Plans Now Being Worked Out
for Establishment of New Camps.

AS the University Of North Dakota
has been the training camp for a unit
of the Students Army Training corps,
it will in all probability be included
IN the result of some new plans now
being arranged in connection with a
reserve officers training corps.
Word has been received here to the
effect hat with the rehabilitation Of
the Students Army Training corps the
colleges of the United States will not
sever their connection with military
training but instead will turn their
attention to the reserve officers train
ing corps. Before the war there were
about lis units of the reserve officers
training corps at the various colleges.
About 100 of these are being re-estab-
lished and applications have been re-
ceived for about two hundred units.
This means that about three-fifths of
the 500 institutions in the Students
Army Training corps will start at
once with units of the reserve officers
training corps.
This change Of the Students Army
Training corps to the reserve officers
training corps is being made so rap
idly thai a large part of the equip
ment used in the various institutions
on hand to be used for the reserve
officers training corps. The admin
istration Of the reserve corps has been
placed in the hands of the committee
on education and special training,
which operates under the training and
instruction branch of the war plans
division of the general staff. The
committee will attempt to make avail
able a large amount Of scientific and
technical material which has been
developed by the experience of the
war and in all units of the reserve
officers training corps special en-
phasis will be placed on physical
training and athletics.
In addition to the collegiate units,
plans are now under way to establish
junior units in secondary schools. City
high school corps are already estab-
lished in Boston, Chicago, Denver and
a large number of other cities. In all
probability Grand Forks will join in
this work and as the University Of
North Dakota has been headquarters
for the North Dakota S. A. T. c., there
may be a training corps established
here, If present plans are carried out.

Local Men Left Grand Forks
September 20, 1917-Have
Seen Much Fighting.
MEMBERS OF LOCAL
! UNITS
Former National Guards
men will Become Civilians
When Mustered Out.
PAGE EIGHT.

The best news that Grand Forks has
heard since that memorable morning
when the word of the final armistice
thrilled this city was received today
when Associated Press dispatches
from Washington carried the author
lied announcement that the 41st di-
vision, known as the Sunset division.
and comprising among its several
units the 164th infantry regiment, is
slated for a early return to the
United States.
The local significance attached to
this announcement is derived from the
fact that the former machine gun
company and Company M, local parts
to a large extent have been incorpor-
ated in the 164th. A number of the
former members Of the two local
companies are now with other units,
but the majority of them are to be
found in the ranks of the 164th.
At this time it is impossible to say
definitely when the men will arrive
here. but judging from the experience
of other communities, it can be esti-
mated that from 80 to 60 days, at
least, will elapse before the soldiers
Grand Forks-in other words, this
will be either one Of the last days in
February or early in March.
Personnel of the Companies.
About the present personnel of the
two companies only meager details
are known here. There has been a
great deal of re-arrangement and
transferring done, and already while
the men were at Camp Greene, the
Dickinson and Grand Forks machine
gun companieS were merged into one.
Later on, after the soldiers had ar
rived OF the battlefield, there were
additional changes, and official infor-
nation has been pretty rare concern
ing the transformation of individual
units, so that very little is definitely
known outside army circles.
When the companies departed from
Grand Forks September 20, 1917.
Captain l.: L. Eckman commanded the
machine gun company and Capt. o.
8. Holm had charge of Company NJ.
These officers have later been rams
terred to other units.
The war strength Of Company M
was one captain, tour lieutenants and
$50 non-commissioned officers and
privates. The war strength Of the
machine gun company was originally
about IS officers and men, but this
was later increased. so that it is
thought the company when ready for
active service on the battlefield num-
oered about $50 officers, and men.
Altogether there are approximately
100 men in the two companies, and jof
these about 800 have their homes in
and near Grand Forks.
Casualties Of the two local COM
papies have been comparatively slight,
but no definite statistics are available
today. Altogether they may amount

ROLLO's JOURNEY TO WASHINGTON.
BY Richard D. Ware. Boston: The
Page Company.
Many a man OF today remembers
the ROlIo books, and is familiar
with the method by which the mind
Of the young Rollo was improved
by the guidance and precepts OF an
erudite father. The modern Rollo
Of Mr.. Wares creation is fortunate
in the possession of a father who
takes him on a trip to wartime
Washington and expOuRds at length
upon the foibles and folIies Of the
men who directed the affairs of the
country at that critical period.
The author is evidently a New
Englander. from the manner he
handles DR.. Garfield and the fueI
administration. Though all the
mistakes of our national leaders
are mercilessly eXpOUnded to young
Rollo, the fUnner side is ALWAYS
ppermost, and in the light of our
achievements during the war. and
its successful termination, we can
laugh and forget.

TWice- Told Tales
THE STORY or JACK THE sLAsHER.

NF all the well-known stories
OF Washington, none prob
ably is better known than
that Of Jack the Slasher." All
through the winter OF 1S93-94 men,
women. and children had a fear OF
Jack" There was no limit to his
activities, and day after day he
continued his daring depredatious
on property Of the wealthy through
out the city.
It probably is OF interest to the
older residents OF Washington to
know that the vandal Is living to-
day, and Is now at st. EliZabeth's 8
Hospital, a harmless lunatic, having
been committed there from jail more
than ten years ago.
The activities Of Jack the Slash
er," as he was named after con-
Quoting his raids for several weeks
started in October, 1898. His real
name was George Taylor. He
seemed not to care for Loot or val
uables, his aim being merely to de-
strOy. For months he baffled all
efforts of police to apprehend him.
The vandaTs work was inaugu-
rated in the residence Of the presi-
League, in Mt Pleasant-NicII
tered By Jack and the bric-a-brac
and furniture there was destroyed,
while a silver watch and a few ar
tivlrs OF value were taken. The
primary object OF the entry seem
cd to have been to damage the
household effects. The walls and
pictures were besmeared with mud,
while chairs and carpets were cut
with a keen knife. Not a motive
could be ascribed.
Judges House visited.
No sooner had talk about the mat
ter partially subsided than Judge
Miller, of the Police Court, at his
home in Takoma Park, experienced
a similar visit. His tapestry and
his valuable rugs were ripped from
end to end, his chair covers were
besmattered with filth, pictures were
destroyed, and every conceivable
method OF damage seemed to have
been employed in the destruction OF
the family furnishings.
This was followed by reports day
after day, from all sections OF the
city, where residences had been en-
tered and clothing and furniture
ruined. Police patrols were doubled
to no avail.
At different times reports were
made concerning Outrages on street
cars, in market lines, in department
stores, and even in theaters. A lady
was almost afraid to step into a
street car, lest Jack slash her
skirt to the ground. Such was the
effect II had. All wealthy persons
lived in mortal fear Of Jack" as
those who were rich seemed to be
his special prey.
In the excitement that prevailed

for supposed wrongs done them imi-

OF these we're found out, prosecuted,
and sent to Jail.
