Must Train Nations Young
Manhood How to Live For
Their Country, Not Die, For
It, in Next War, He Says
$50 Attend Annual Affair

Stating that the bitterest lesson
learned. from the last war was that
the nations total unpreparedness for
such a conflict forced it to send un-
trained men to the firing line under
leaders who were but little better
trained than themselves, and plead
ing for preparedness in preparation
for the next war by training the
nations young manhood how to
'live" for their country, not die"
for it, 1t. Col. Thomas w. Brown,
commanding Fort Lincoln, gave the
principal talk at the annual Armls-
tice day banquet at the Grand Pacific

riences Of the late war in mind" At

the speaker said that everyone hopes
the progress Of civilization will
eventually eliminate war, but that
time has not yet arrived.

which will be conducted at Fort Lin

off, and also cares for the physical
welfare of the young men by whole.
some life in the open with plenty OF
recreation. Practical lessons in true
patriotism are taught, as well as the
fundamentals Of military art, so that
the young mems chances of living
instead of dying in the next war are
materially increased.
To make the camp success we
need the support and approval Of
the people Of Bismarck and vicinity
the colonel said. 1.-THE wonderful
cooperation which we have already
received during our short stay here
assures US tina support without th<

which has recommended 10 the State
farm flood rehabilitation committee
an appropriation of S12, 900 for vacci-

The committee said that not all of
the farmers would need help, listing
only about so per cent. mostly ne
groes. who would have to be rehabili-
tated.
