VIM. F. Jones, wife and daughter,
Pauline, and their sister-in-laW, Mrs.
S. A. Lindholm, and two little children
from Grand Forks, had a narrow es-
cape from death Sunday afternoon at
the Jones home on Fifth Ave. and
Third st. S. E., from the effects of
coal gas. But for the assistance of
their neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
.Welton. they would undoubtedly have
all met death.

considerable time in the basement try
ing to get it to work and the gas
had penetrated to every corner of the
house. The gas became worse, but
the occupants of the house had be-
come used to it's smell and did not
realize its danger. They all became
ill with headache and Mrs. Eindholm
became unconscious at about o'clock
that evening. Mr.. Jones had become
delirious at times but rallied enough
in the evening to make his way to
the Weton home to notify his daugh-
ter, Margie, who had spent the after
noon there, that the family were i'll.
MIR. and Mrs. Welton accompanied
them back to their residence and be-.
coming aware Of the seriousness of
the situation, insisted that the men,
bers Of the family leave the residence
at once and partake of the hospital
ity of their own home. None of
those affected wanted to leave. They
were all sleepy and wanted to lie down
and sleep. Mrs. Lindholm was al
ready completely overcome and the
others were rapidly getting in their
condition. The Wefons took the
affair in their own hands and carried
Mrs. Lindholm out and led the other
members Of the household to their
home. A doctor was called and he
pronounced the condition of the VIC
Tins as rather serious. A nurse was
employed who worked over the six
unfortunates all night long. In the
morning all had shown Improvement

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Amer-
ican manhood is rising to tho neces-
sity for military preparedness in the
opinion of General John J. PERISH
ing. general OF the armies Of the
United States.
The people OF the country are dis
playing a greater interest now in
military training than at any time
since the armistice, the general de-
clared, in an exclusive interview
with the United Press today.
General Pershlng's statements are
regarded as particularly significant,
coming as they do, Immediately after
President Hardings address TO 1000
Citizen soldiers" who were told by
the Executive. that America wants
no more war, but wants to be pre-
pared If another war comes.
''The work being done IN the citi-
zens' military training camps is most
satisfactory" General Pershing de-
clared. THE practical courses OF in
structions have been worked out so
that the boys time is always profit
ably and Interestingly occupied.
TT is astonishing what progress is
made in the short period OF four
weeks allotted these camps
Improvement in their physical
appearance is most marked. At the
same time they are given some idea
Of discipline. respect for authority
and their obligations 10 their coun-
try.
"Of course Il must be understood
that these boys are not transformed
into trained soldiers in thirty days,
but they are given elementary in
structions upon which TO build and
are imbued with ideas that'are neces-
sary for further development
''I would like 20 see, as President
Harding said. 10000 boys through
out the country receiving such train
ing annually. Not only would this
be n very great military asset but It
would be a material benefit to- the
individuals and a distinct contrfbu-
tlon TO good citizenship.
'As 70 the attitude OF our people
toward military training believe
that there is greater interest this
year especially among those who
served in the war, than at any time
since the armistice was signed"
