SUMMER CAMPS
Program Designed TO- Make
Each Company a thorough
~ Trained Unit

Omaha, Neb., Feb. lO-RD--Na-
tiona guards men in the Seventh
Army Corps area face a program Of
summer training this year which is
designed to make each company, af-
ter a prescribed three months Of in
tcnsivc training in time of national
emergency, ready to take the field
as thoroughly trained unit.
Practically every branch Of the
army is represented in Seventh
corps area guard. 1t comprises the
34th and 35th Divisions, with cav
airy brigade, infantry, artillery, med
ical, signal corps, air service, en-
gineer ~ .nti-aircraft groups.
Will Train $4,000 Men
Adjulan.s general of the states
comprising this corps area have
been requested to express preference
for guard camp dates. The season
will extend from middle June to mid
die September. In that time. 20 sep
aratc camps will provide training
tor 1000 officers and men. /
In connection with militia training
this year, efforts are being made to
have reserve officers turn out for
active duty. This is to coordinate
work of the two civilian components
of the national defense and lend
prestige to guard work by its closer
connection to the regulars"
Training Of anti-aircraft units will

and the 2O3rd and 2O6th anti-aircraft
units will 90 to Fort Sill, Okla. Each
unit will fire at towcd targets, sim

Air units in this corps area will
receive attention, also, Mt this sum-
mer's camps. St. Paul, st. Louis and
Little Rock. Ark, have air branches
of the guard, each unit having eight
planes.
Mounted militia men will train at
Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Fort Riley,
Kansas. The Hath Kansas Cavalry
will have facilities of the army

Nebraska guard units will. so to
Ashland, Neb., as formerly. Im-
provements now under way will care
for 1900 officers and men.
Better Than Ever
According to Major Boone, the ma
tional guard is now the best in train
ing, organization, equipment aud
morale that it ever has been. The
difficulty, however, is in obtaining
appropriations to maintain it. Units
in the Seventh corps area are work
ing under curtailed appropriations,
he said, eliminating several hours Of
armory drill weekly because Of lack
of funds to pay members.

Reply to charges made against HIM
in the last issue Of the North Dakota
Nonpartsan was made today by \.
f.. Dichl, member Of the state board
of administration, an appointec OF
the Nestos administration.

The Charges
81. That | violated the state ar
chitccts' license law by making set
of plans for an addition to school
building at Rhame, North Dakota, re-
cciving pay therefor without being q
licensed architect.
. 80 That ! violated the law which
created the board of administration
in that the law requires that all of
the time of the members shall be
required for the performance of their
official duties.
IS. That charged the expense OF
certain trips from Bismarck to
Rhame in connection with making the
aforesaid plans, to the state Of North
Dakota.
81. That charged to the state in
my expense account certain teleph one
messages to Rhame.'
Taking up the charges separately
Dichl admitted drawing the plans fol
pay. but commended that his action
was not a violation Of the architects
law because he had been following
the profession of architect for years
before the licensing law was passed
and that under the terms of the law
it was not necessary for him to pro
cure a license. He said that other
architects had worked and are work
ing without licenses and that he has
designed many school buildings i:
