United States and should be stamped

Der of congress, said Representative
Towner of Iowa in an address to the
house on the one hundred and thirty
second anniversary of the adoption of
the Constitution. He warned that the
communist party, recently organized,
belongs to the same group of interna-
tional socialists as the bolsheviki Of
Russia.
"A statement issued by its secre-
tary," MrtATowner said, declares that
the Communist party will take part in
the 1920 campaign, and will have but
one plank in its platform, the DONNA
ton of the working class and the abo-
lition of capitalism
Representative Towner declared the
socialists are bent on destroying the
American form Of government.
"The socialists frankly admit" he
said, that they would destroy our
Constitution and our entire present
system of government. A leading So
cialist journal ridicules the term pa
triot fathers and charges that they
were more concerned with their own
selfish interests than with The inter-
ests of the people in framing the Con-

West Arvada, which on September 16
struck mine off Terschelling on the

part Of the interest in this proposed institution
centers on what 1t can do for enlisted men as well
as for officers
The engineer trade school which is to be estab-
lished will embrace all these branches: Black
smith, carpentry, drafting, surveying electricity,
gas engines, automobiles, lithography. steam en-
gines masonry. photography, plumbing. rigging
stenography, oxy-acetylene welding, machine shop
work railroad operation and camouflage.
complete model has been made Of the pro.
posed school and outlying accessories. For the
College OF Military Research there will be adj
ministration building; 70 large central buildings
respectively for records statistics and mechanical
and electrical laboratories four smaller buildings,
one for chemistry one for physics, and two for
lecture rooms one library building, and village
OF $50 separate houses for officers, churches club,
garage, Fairgrounds, and all necessary utilities.
In addition to these buildings and properly
grouped there IRE to be one academic building,
and two recitation buildings, an auditorium, a
museum, library, laboratory and other struc-
lures. Buildings corresponding in size and in
equipment and grouped SO as to insure uniformity
coupled with beauty will be necessary for the
school directly connected with the vocational
training of the enlisted men and the officers.
1t has been evident for some time that; the at
tenton of the military authorities is to be given
in the future to the vocational training Of young
men. to be carried on side by side with their mill
tary instruction. The school at Camp Humphreys,
as has been said, is not the only school which 1t
is intended to establish but it probably will be in
sense the parent school and the one which will
furnish the facilities for certain training which
cannot be secured at schools Of the other branches
of the service.
Men who already have attended the school at
Camp Humphreys have spread its fame as an
educational institution. In the words Of Col.
Richard Park Of the corps Of engineers, who has
had this project ut heart. and who worked daily
and nightly to perfect it in every detail:
ut will be the function of the trade schools not
only to develop the skilled personnel needed for
military work, but also to insure every soldier
thorough training in some trade which will be a
benefit to him after leaving the service. This win
attract much better school OF recruits under the
volunteer system Of training and will be an inn
portant factor in the maintenance of morale under
a system OF universal military training
No one knows how large force it will be neces-
snry for the United States to maintain for pur-
poses of defense and preparedness, but whether
the force be large small the evident intention Of
the authorities is to see to 1t that men
who enter the service shall have opportunity to
educate themselves along lines other than those
Which are purely military.

One of his most remarkable faculties is his gift

But perhaps his most valuable quality Is that
of sticking it, He has stuck to his job more
