CACTUS DIVISION
MEN NOT MUSTERED
OUT SERVICE NOW

CAMP TRAVIS, Texas, Jan. g.
No men of the 18th. or Cactus divi-
sion, or usual camp units, such as
quartermaster corps, utilities, base
hospital, etc, stationed at Camp
Travis, Texas, are being discharged
from the service at this time. This
statement comes from headquarters
of the camp owing to the fact that
hundreds of letters are being re-
ceived by the commanding general
seeking release of soldiers.
The false impression appears to
have spread that the army was to
be Immediately demobilized follow
ing the signing of the armistice. 1t
is not the intention of the war de-
partment to include men serving in
divisions from the Sth to goth, in
elusive. in the general demobiliza-
ton plans. These soldiers, and
those of the camp units, it is point
ed out, have as important duties to
perform as those in Pershing's army
of occupation in Germany.
About 1000 soldiers at Camp Ira
Wis have been discharged to date,
but these are nearly all from the
165th depot brigade, independent
medical units and casuals, arriving
from overseas. Men in the division
an dthe camp units mentioned are
likely to have. several months ser
vice ahead of them.

advanced eight miles. After the
long advance, the Germans thor
oughly reinforced, offered stubborn
resistance. Myself and another

ARE LSHEvISTS
That Is What Zimmerman Calls
NOnpartisan Leaguers.
Says They Have Same Aims as
Lenine Has.

The ideals of the Russian Boil
shevist and the American Nonpartisan
Lacquer are identical. according to
statements made at the Chamber of
Commerce this noon by P. z. Zim-
norman of Lindsborg, Kan.
Zimmerman was the speaker of the
day at the chamber this noon on in
'vitation' of the entertainment commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce. He
was introduced by William A. Biby,
chairman of the entertainment COM
mittee. Zimmerman talked for about
forty minutes, the major part of the
time being given over to a COMPARE
son of the Russian Bolshevist and the
American Nonpartisan Lacquer and L.
w. w. One of the diners noticed at
the chamber today was ]. o. Stevic,
office manager for the state office
of the Nonpartisan league in Topeka.
Paid Tribute To Labor.
In the course of his talk thinner
man took occasion to pay a high trib-
ute to the loyalty and patriotism of
American labor as it is represented
by the American Federation of Labor.
He pointed out that the leaders of
both the Russian movement and the
leaders of the American movement
gained their education at the same
place and that the leaders could all
most be said to be classmates. At
least they are friends.
OF the doctrines of the Nonpartisan
! league as revealed in the activities
of the North Dakota legislature last
year Zimmerman pointed to these
/ facts. 1.-The state valuation for taxa
ton purposes was raised from $403,-
| 900, 900 to $1.240, 100000. This raise
| hikes the total state taxes from
| $2,500.O00 to $15,000.000 this increase
raising the taxes on live stock 5000 I;
and on bank stock which Is mostly
owner by the farmers to 500@o.''
Zimmerman also pointed out that
| North Dakota with a population of
less than one-half million people has
state budget of more than $780,
| 100000 passed at the recent legisla-
ture. The Kansas legislature appro-
priated less than S14,O0O.00O to run a
state of more than million and half

time.
