TRAINING WOUNDED SOLDIERS

Any disabled soldier who has secur-
ed compensation from the Government
has the right to apply for vocational.
training. Our country will equip him
to handle his old job, or a new one if
he prefers. Such training was begun
when he was in the hospital. After
the soldier is discharged, the Federal
Board of Vocational Training will
help him choose the work he wants to
fellow. A couse of training is then
outlined, covering from several
months to four years. Deaf soldiers
will be given a preliminary training
in lip reading. Men with artificial
limbs will be taught to use them and
become skilled in various trades. So
with the blind. Those who have had
high school O. college training will be
able to take more advanced work, law
for instance. A soldier with some
special talent will be taught to make
use of it.
Mel taking vocational training are
no longer members of the army. The
Federal Board for a group of states
is made up of civilians, and the teach
ing is done in approved schools and
shops. But the discharged soldier
continues to receive Government nay.
This, including his compensation, will
ordinarily be SOS a month. If he has
a family dependent on him, $40 more
will be given, in addition to the former
Government allowance. Tuition fees
and travelling expenses are met by the
Government.
The Vocational Board will find work
for a man after his training is COM
pleted. They will also try to place
disabled en- who do not wish training
in work which they can do in spite Of
their disability. But the chance TO,
Government. training is too good TO,
a soldier to miss. Present high wages
are a temptation to the returning
soldier. But when wages went down
the disabled man would be unable to
compete with government workmen

TOWNLEY IS
HIS MASTER
SAYS WATERS
Bank Examiner and Manager
of Bank of North Dakota
Says He Will Resign When
He Finds. He Cannot Do
"a. C.'S" Bidding.

Fargo, N. D., May al. R. Wa
tiers, bank examiner and manager
of the Bank of North Dakota, in a
letter addressed 70 Grant Youmans
of Minot and made public in Fargo
today by the organ that A: C. Town
LEY owns, acknowledges that he is
responsible to Mr.. Townely only in
the conduct of the bank examiners
office of this state.
This astounding acknowledgement
on the part of Mr.. Waters comes on
ly a few days after Mr.. Waters was
made manager Of the Bank of North
Dakota. As manager of the bank,
in case the state bank law is approx
ed in the referendum, he will have
control of about one-fourth of the &C
tual banking resources of North Da-
kota.
Dealing with the subject that has
come into controversy between Mr..
Youmans of Minot and A. C. Town
ley, and involved in which is YOU
mans charge that Townley approach
ed him with an offer to influence the
supreme court of North Dakota in
deciding the Youman's-H Hanna case
in Mr.. Youman's favor. Mr.. Waters
writes in part as follows:
"Now l want to say that Mr..
TOwnley has never said a word to
me in regard to taking any dras-
tic action against you or your
banks, or any other man or bank
in the state of North Dakota"
writes Mr.. Waters.
HE (Mr. Townley) has allowed
met if you will excuse the express
sion to use my own judgment in
handling bank affairs in this
state and has never horned in
any way. This perhaps is one
of the reasons I am so loyal to
MI. Townley.
"And when l cannot be loyal to
him (Mr. Townley) or the Nom
partisan league, I am going to- a.,
go to the governor and lay my
resignation on his desk, and tell
him that I do not feel a man can
be honest and serve two masters,
and for this reason, l want. him
to accept my resignation 1 am
not going out to fight anybody;
in fact I do not believe in snap
ping the hand that feeds me-"

The Kind of a Man
"This", says the Morton county
league paper, Z" is the kind of a man
whom Townley selects to direct the
Socialist organization in this country
He is we'll fitted for the task assign
ed him. That is destroying Ameri-
can ideals and attempting to supplant
the Stars and Stripes with the red
flag of Socialism and to create in
this country a government like that
of Russia, in which the land will all
be taken from. the owners and held in
common a state Of society in which
there is no private property"
Others Have Records.
The Farmers Press also pays it's
respects to McConnel's association,
Rev. H. G. Dralle, whom the paper
accuses of having been an inmate of
the Burleigh county last Deem
Der in connection with a shameful
debacle, and one William Meyers Of
Morton county, whom the Farmers
Press charges with having been i'm
plicated in the evidence presented in
a not nice criminal proceeding in Bur-
leigh county.
Exposure Threatened.
Gas long as Townley persists in
men of this type, there
is no way for decent citizens to pro-
tect themselves except by an exposure
of the character Of these men, and
the Farmers Press proposes to pub
fish the truth if these men persist
in their campaign" concludes the lea

SHIPS LESS EFFICIENT.

Washington, Nov. 26-The efficiency of many ships of the navy has been reduced by continuous operation dur- ing the war without the usual over hauling, and large expenditure of money will be required to put them Tn repair, Rear Admiral k. $. Grimm, chief of the bureau of steam engineer ing said today In his annual report The propelling machinery particularly suffered, the report said, but owing to the expert service performed by the navy'ss repair ships not a single com blatant ship was withdrawn from selN- ice during the war unless repairs were previously scheduled. ..e.
 Activities of the bureau during the year have been marked by a highly satisfactory prosecution of engine construction to meet the new ship building program rather than by new technical developments" the report said. The electrical propulsion sys- tenn on the dreadnaught New Mexico, which has been adopted for all future big ships, was commended in the re- port, which said the New Mexico has demonstrated saving in fuel of ap- proximateiy 20 per cent

MAYO IN NEW LAWSUIT.
Asks Court to Set Aside Lis pcndcns
 on House He Gave to Last Wife.

New York, Nov. 26.---virginius S. Mayo, whose multiple love affairs have brought him considerable pub licity, made application yesterday to Supreme Court Justice Manning in Brooklyn to set aside a lis pendens tying up property at No. .546 4th street, Brooklyn, which he formerly owned. - ...-
 The application was opposed by Wilhelmina Meyer, who sued Mayo in 1917 and recovered $l00,000 for fraud, alleging that for eleven years he had led her to believe she was his lawful wife. when all. the time his real wife and three aachildren were living in New Jersey. It appears that the 4th street house was made over by Mayo to Lois Watesbury, whom he married in March, 1918. It was charged before Justice Manning that Mayo has systematically sought to di- vest himself of his property so il could not be levied upon in collect : ing the s1oo,0oo judgment. Decision was reserved. ... .......
