tenn" Men are placed on their honor
without interference from prison Off
cials. They occupy barracks apart
from the fort. operate under their own
on-commissoned officers and appoint
their own guards.
Very Few Offenders
Under the education portion of the
prison curriculum, largely in the hands
Of Y. M. C. A. officials, classes are
held in various trades. The extraor-
dinary small proportion of men con-
vcted of serious offenses in the Amer
lean army was emphasized by COL
Hubt
"'Out of the four million men who
joined the American army, there are
only 5000 in the prison camps. Un-
der the draft system we got into the
army men with criminal records, and

T0WNLEY LIBEL
CASE ARGUED IN
SUPREME COURT
Action Comes Here on Appeal
From Leighton's Decision
Overruling Demurrer
| KllCLUND IS PLAINTIFF

The North Dakota supreme court
was asked this week to determine
whether charges which A. c.. Town
ley is alleged to have Published in
newspapers he controlled during the
session of 1917 alleging that Senator
j. A. Englund of Ward county was not
an American citizen and thar he had
no legal right to act as d member Of
the senate and that he bal unlaw-
fully accepted his salary as deputy
state oil inspector, constituted a
cause for action in damage suit.
In the Ward county district court.
Judge Leighton, in overruling de.
murrer by the defense, held that the
publication of these charges did con-
stitute a cause for action. Townley
appealed from that decision to the
supreme court. Judge E. b. Goss ap-
peared here for the plaintiff and o. B.
Herigstad of MinOt for the defense.
The case was argued here purely
on the question of cause. The issues
involved we're debated here only as
they affected the decision of Judge
Leighton.
Story Of Case.
Englund was a hold-over member
of the senate of the 18th assembly.
He vigorously opposed the league and
assisted in defeating House Bill a
and other league measures. For his
activity he was relentlessly crucified
in the Townley press.
The Townley organs discovered that
Englund had taken up@a homestead in
Canada. They insisted that to do so
he must have renounced his Ameri-
can citizenship. They stated that he
had and that he was fraudulently
drawing salary from the state as
Oil inspector and that his presence in
the senate was an affront.
Englund proved that he had taken
his Canadian homestead under old
laws of the dominion (which did not
require citizenship. He established
his rights as an American and re-
tanned his seat in the senate and his
post as oil inspector until the Frazier
regime got around to him with it's
pruning knife. Then he took up the
publication of the Kenmare News,
which ever since has been thorn in
side of the league. He also insti-
tuted suit against Townley and his
associates for damages I'M the sum of
$5O,Oe0, charging gross and malicious
criminal libel. fis

A company of American troops re-
Gently showed some hesitation in re-
turning to the fighting front south Of
Archangel,' declaring the war with
Germany was over and that America
had no fight with the Bolsheviki. The
legimentsl commander in speech to
the men declared they were fighting a
desperate defensive battle and ap-
paled to them to stick it out. The
companies then proceeded as ordered.
The trouble arose when company
was ordered back to the front after a
rest period at Archangel. The mems
contention was that the men were
drafted for the war with Germany,
which is now over, and that they had
not enlisted to fight the Bolsheviki.
They declared the 3olshevik question
was a debatable one, upon which the
United States was not unit, and in
sisted they could see no reason for
fighting the reds. The officers as
sured the men they were fighting for
their own lives.
