The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1919-03-11

The following interesting history Of
Il regiment composed largely OF North
Dakota boys, is from Paul KObideau
Of Bismarck. and should prove Of in
terest to everyone on the Slope, from
which many Of Paul's comrades were
drawn:
France. January IA, 1919.
10 the General Public.
United States Of America.
Friends and Readers:
Feeling that the history Of Il certain
regiment which played a most import
ant part in the recently ended titantic
struggle which has been waged in
Europe for over four years, might be
Of considerable interest. ! shall Ell
deavor in behalf Of the 21st Regiment
Of Engineers to give brief history of
this organization and its achievements
Organized at Camp Grant
This regiment was organized at
Camp Grant, Illinois for the purpose
Of surveying. constructing. operating
and maintaining light railways in
France This type of railway is u
twenty three and one half inch gauge
and is constructed in many pieces OF
sectionized track In other places it
is constructed Of the same material
as any railway. The prime import
ance of sectioniZed track being the
rapidity with which it can be assem-
bled. Now that l have BRIEFLY out
lined the purpose for which the 21st
Regiment Of Engineers was organized
I shall endeavor to 60 into details OF
its accomplishments after describing
the organization.
Six Companies
The original organization consisted
Of six companies. or two battalions.
This. as you will appreciate, means
about sixteen hundred men. The or
ganization was recruited from every
corner Of the United States and is
composed principally Of volunteers.
That u.s. the original two battali0nS.
as you will understand. late in 1913,
more battaliOns were added. 1t is
only the original six companies which
crossed the seas under Colonel Peck
and It. Cal Slidfer that ] refer to in
this particular letter as l feel they de-
serve all consideration possible from
a standpoint Of appreciation on the
part Of the American public.
These volunteers are OF the highest
type OF American railway men. The
personnel Of the ranks is composed of
civil engineers. mechanics. cOnstruc-
ton men. engineers. trainmen. train
dispatchers. teIegraphers, trackmen,
and in fact every BIZ ancb is represent
ed by high type Of men from stand
point Of efficiency These men also
were differed by men, in many in
stances, had given up official posi-
tons to serve the Stars and Stripes.
The men In the ranks in most instan-
ces are holding rights on various rail
ways which entitle them to excellent
salaries when engaged In their r"-
spective civilian capacities and this Is
the fact that ] wish to have you bear
In mind.

plainly audible in the morning air,
and as a matter of fact even residents

awakened from their slumbers. All

WITH THE EDITORS
WEHRLE SPIKES GUNS

When the reconstruction program of the Cath
5lic bishops Of America was published, the socialist
editor of the Nonpartisan Leader declared it to
be identical with the program of the Nonpartlsan
league.
The Dakota State Journal took the trouble tc
draw this great assumption on the part Of the
socialist editor Of the Leader to the attention OF
Bishop Wehrle, Catholic bishop Of Bismarck, in a
letter received by the writer from Bishop Wehrle
His Lordship declares:
The Bishops give the Catholic stand
point; and the socialists would never sue
coed if they were not partly fighting for the
Catholic standpoint. The whole difference
is in the principles upon which we build.
Socialism may aim at some real reforms but
their principles in the long run lead to an
archy. The Catholic principles lead to re-
form both capitalism and the common
people and build up upon the foundation of
justice and charity.-DakCta Journal

element. Thus were we to spend
our first night upon the Atlantic.
The morning came and nothing but
water was to be seen wherever we
might gaze. The ocean and it's vast

many who had spent our lives previous
ly upon Terra Firlha entirely, being, as
you understand men who followed
railway service as a4yOcation. Days
and days We're thus spent gazing into
the deep or off in the distance only to
see water and sky meet. Two times
each day. or aftef each meal, We're the
men compelled to 60 out on deck to
breathe fresh air, and you can imagine
the seething mass Of humanity when
over five thousand men were upon the
decks. After some days during which

which We're menaced by the deadly
submarine of the enemy, our trip was
tinged with sadness for one of our
members had died upon the ocean and
we were to witness the funeral at sea

prepared funeral bier or slide, was ar

WHY NOT SOCIALISM IN LAND?

A Nonpartisan league party paper complains
that the government has given away the natural
resources of the country The biggest gift of nat
ural resources ever made by any nation in the
world was the deciding Of hundreds of millions of
acres of land to homesteaders in the west, under
Republican legislation, and to transportation lines
whose construction would make the soil useful for
something other than prairie dog holes and buffalo
walloWs. Would the country have been better off
II these lands had been withheld from settlement,
or offered to the farmers only under system of
tenantry? This is the theory of one school of re-
formers, which holds that the increase in value of
these lands, now and for years past accruing to
their farmer owners, is "unearned increment" and
that it should be taken away from the men who
own and till the soil. When North Dakota farmer
buys land for ten dollars an acre and sells It for
forty, does the margin of profit represent graft"
or is it the natural and proper and wholesome
profit of the land owner? The time is coming, in
the marc hof socialism, when the land owner is
going to be asked to "divvy up with the landless
millions of the world. And the scheme of dividing
with the fellow who has less is not half 80 alurnv
as that OF dividing with the fellow who has more.
The land of the nation is the chief source of value
Iwo-thirds of the people own no land. Some day.
II socialism keeps on gaining, the two-thirds are
going to take the soil away from the one-third by
their ballots, and divide it up among the rest.
when that glad day comes some of the fellows
who are for just so much Of socialism as will be
financially profitable to them will not be 10 en-
thusiastic about this dividing up business q they
are now.-Natjonal Republican.

THE WORLDS BEST LITTLE OLD TONIC

Hey, you tonic takers and generally dissatisfied
folks, listen to this.
When month after month you lock back over
the previous twelve months and find that you are
no better off now than you were year ago
either in savings, in Increased mentality, IN pres
tige, or in the number of your friends or your
standing in the communicative that doleful
feeling that won't come off, lays its heavy hand
on your cringng shoulder and pushes you down
and down until you feel as small as an ant looks
at the wrong end of telescope And you try to
get over it by taking medicine.
But, say, when you can open the book CT your
life and on the days page put your finger on some
definite thing in which you have accomplished
something since twelve months rolled by-when
you can tell the world fair that you've gotten
ahead, done something that you hadn't done twelve
months ago-then the blood races through your
veins and throws off sparks as it leaps ahead the
sun jazzes 'cm up for your particular benefit and
the whole world smiles and gloWs and invitingly
beckons you onward and upward and further afield
into the Land of the Worlds Doors.
Accomplishment! Doing something-no mat
ter how snnall-getting ahead! That's what puts
pep into the Uranium and makes the old human
system sing with joy.
The pleasure of seeing the home team win, or
pulling a straight flush out of three-card draw,
flicker Of insgnificance compared with the heart
rousing joy of knowing that you've actually
achieved something.
Accomplishment-thats the greatest nerve
and health and mental tonic in the world

THE BUMPS YOU GET

We were watching little two-year-od boy
climb up a chair-as children are wont to do. The
first two times he tried it, he fell back kerbang.
and hit his head resounding whack. But ne
never uttered cry-just got up and went at ii
again.
That boy will succeed in life unless some friend
persists in making big fuss over the little TEL
low every time he gets bump
From the time we are laid in our CRIB oE the
nurse to the time the undertaken reverently puts
US in our last resting place, We are bumped about
in the world.
Sometimes the bumps are spiritual; sometimes
they are physical
But, whichever they are, the important thing
is-keep going The man or woman who stops 10
shed tears will get showed to the side Of the road
by those coming up who push on even when their
eyes are blinded with tears.
And our reaction to bumps will depend great
deal upon the way we are taught to receive them
as children.

were scanning the seas at all times by
day ond night to guard against the
enemy submarines.
Each day a number of times the en-
tire body of men would undergo what
is known as abandon ship drill.
The purpose of this drill is to main
tain order and discipline in case Of
marine disaster. At this particular
time catastrophe Of this nature might
be expected at any moment. The
efficiency developed rs. a result of this
drill accounts for the minimum of loss
when troopships have been torpedoed.

on another occasion the alarm was

likewise high.
