u, col. ROGERS
/ DISCUSSES AN
ARMY Of PAPER
Unique Proposal For Mill
tary Force Attracts
Attention.

Lieut.. Col. T. J. Rogers of Aberdeen.
b. D., while in Grand Forks this
morning discussed a proposal to Gre
ate a fully trained American standing
army second to O in the world to
be formed on paper in a rather UNIQUE
manner. Lieut.: Col. Rogers stated his
belief that such an army could pc
both feasible and practicable.
Briefly the proposition is made that
with some four million men of the
United States with military training it
would be feasible to organize them
into an army on paper. Regiments
could be organized in each state, Of
ficered and with a full enlisted per-
sonnet.
This army would be entirely volun-
tary and only to be called upon in case
of a national emergency. AS the men
had military training during the world
war it is not believed that drill or
training would be necessary until per
haps after three or four years the
men might be called for a months
training in order to brush up" on
the drills.
In the course OF a few years when
the rank. of this paper army became
somewhat depleted the strength could
be maintained by the voluntary action
Of young men who would be given a
short period of training in order to
come to a measure up to the standard
Of their comrades.
Lieut.. Col. Rogers examined two
applicants for enlistment this. morn
ing and the men will be sent to train.
ing camp Immediately: The recruits
are Ole K. Larson of Grand Forks
and Charlie McAlister of Waltham-
berg, Colo. Both enlisted for three
wears in the Motor Transport Corps.

Piles of SnOW
Hinder Deliueru
To City Homes

Merchants in the city today report
ed that a number of complaints on
delivery service during the past few
days had come in from their patrons
throughout the city. While believing
that the complaints are justified, as
service has been somewhat hindered
by the bad condition of the streets,
the merchants wish to call the atten-
ton of the patrons to some sugges
tons which might improve general
delivery service throughout the city.
In many cases where the sidewalks
have been carefully shoveled the
snow has been thrown in high drifts
along the walk, between The street
and the walk, with no entrance
cleared to the street. Del%ivery1nen
find it difficult, it was said, to climb
these piles Of snow with their arms
filed with packages, and considerable
delay is caused. It was also noted
that while the front walks were clear,
many walks to the rear Of the resi-
dences have been left unshoveled,
making it hard for the men to make
their deliveries to the door.
Within a few days, it is hoped, the
streets will be in better condition and
with the cooperation Of the citizens
it is believed service will be normal
a gain

COMMISSIONER
BUSY CLEARING
MAIN STREETS
six-foot Drifts Along De.
Mers Avenue Practically J
All Removed Now.

The work Of clearing the streets
of, snow to permit auto and truck
traffic again is progressing as rapidly
as possible and it is believed that by
the end of the week, traffic will be
norma again on DeMers avenue.
Street Commissioner Maurice Sui
Ivan with a crew of men and teams,
has worked steadily since the snow
storm, removing the six-foot drifts
which blocked the north side Of the
street and the sidewalks. Teams are
difficult 30 obtain just now Ind this
makes the work progress more slow
ly than otherwise. For two days fol-
lowing the storm Of last Monday, it
was impossible for any motors to get
through the heavy snow. Large
trucks are again in use, although the
snow OF the side streets hinders gem
eral auto traffic. .
Work on the side streets has not yet
commenced, but it is believed thai
city teams will be at work there as
soon as the main streets have been
made passable.

ATTERBURY FAVORS
ARMY IMPROVEMENTS
PhiIadeIphian Denounces Lack
of Business Efficiency
in Army

Washington. Augs 2S.-Provision in
legislation outlining the nations per-
manent military policy for instruction
of officers in industrial operation, ap-
pointmcnt of only college graduates to
West Point, elimination of the coast
artillery as a separate. branch, and
placing of the marine corps under the
War Department, was suggested by w.
w. Atterbury, Philadelphia, vice presi-
dent Of the Pennsylvania railroad, to-
day to the Senate military subcom-
mittee.
Mr.. Atterbury, although now re-
turned to civil life. served during the
war as brigadier general in charge of
rail transportation and transportation
at ports in France.
Three months training of the young
men Of the country under the provision
for universal service, Mr.. Atterbury
regarded as too short period. He
urged the extension of the time to six
months and then registration of the men
after training in the reserve with the
obligation of appearing for manoeuvers
for two years.
MIR. AttcrDurN approval OF lhe eN
isting general staff system was given
frankly.
~ would make it of the most con.
centratcd character" he said. "and /
would give to, 1t almost autocratic
power.
His suggestion that army officers be
detailed to the factories and offices Of
the country was a part of his criticism
that the army now and as contemplated
is lacking the efficiency of the ordinary
big business concern.
