KIWAN|S LISTEN
TO BANK RAID TALE
Victims Of Bandits Tell Of Ad-
venture; Golf Champs Are
Luncheon Guests

The Kiwanis club had as guests at
today's luncheon Paul Cook, mems,
and Nadine O'Leary. women's golf
champion Of North Dakota. The two
were introduced and, in response to
a plea that Cook tell how it was done,
he drafted Alfred Zuger, one of the
gallery in the deciding game, to tell
the story.
The talk of the day was by Claude
Turner, warden at the state prison.
The chairman of the day, Charles
Foster, led up to this feature by call
ing on Al Brink and j. p. Wagner to
give their impressions of being held
up by five bank bandits.
This the two victims of the Dako-
ia National robbery did in an enter
tanning and interesting way. Warden
Turner then was asked to tell what
happens to bank bandits when they
are caught. In response, the warden
gave q review of the history Of the
state prison and of the equipment,
purposes and methods of administra-
ton, as he did at last Wednesdays
Rotary luncheon.
Don Kenyon, Of Syracuse, N. Y,
was a guest of the club.

Besides higher educational train
ing, the speaker proposed a gradua-
ton of public office, giving as an ex-
ample. the suggestion. that the may
or OF a first class city, should first be
mayor Of a second class city, and the
mayor of a second class city, should
first be a mayor of a third class city.
Education, he said, was his SUCCESS
ton for s~alvaging democracy. Under
his plan, he continued, every adult
would vote, but no one could vote for
an unqualified candidate; democracy
would be made fool proof"
There is no way, short of Dictator
ship, he said, to escape from the
clutch Of the political machines, ex-
ccpt education.
The speaker opened his address by
asserting that democracy has given
neither government by the people,
nor government by the best, and that
the path Of office lay now not in hon.
est service to the people, but in dis
honest service to the machine.

mand post exercise which Is to be held
at Fort George G. Meade, Md, this
Summer. In view of the Importance OF
this matter, the general has requested
th.t all officers be present.
This will be the first assembly OF the
staff at which there will be regular
troops for the carrying out of elaborate
exercises to instruct the divisional ON
GERS in the methods used In the han
ding of war problems In the field. Other
divisions have been called together In
their entirety, while in some States only
the division headquarters have been
called out.
For the 1929 field training period, a
circular of the War Department, just
issued, announced there were assembled
in one period, complete, the 26th, 28th
and seth Divisions; in greater part, the
32d, SD, 37th, 38th less one Infantry
Regiment only and 45th Divisions. Di-
vision headquarters were assembled with
considerable numbers of troops IN the
goth, 30th 31st, 34th, 40th and AID Di-
visions. The 4lSt Division Headquarters
and Headquarters Detachment assem-
bled at Fort Lewis. The 9th and 44th
Division Headquarters, with headquar-
tiers and communication troops, together
with various brigade headquarters, as
sembled at Camp Dix, N. j., to take
part in an Army command post exer-
else. This constituted their field train
ing period and afforded a very advan-
tageous opportunity to try out in a large
scale exercise the efficiency Of their
staff and headquarters organizations
These were of1cially recognized as very
satisfactory, the bureau reported.
Two National Guard divisions are
training under a four-year cycle plan.
visualized several years ago, for which
progressive detectives were set for sue
ceeding years. In one division this
cycle eliminated in 1929 in three-day
maneuver, during which the ability of
the division to function in the field was
tested as far as was practicable.
However, the Militia Bureau says
that it is not in accord with any pro-
gram which contemplates the marching
of troops for several hours in problem
or maneuver where subordinate units
know little of what is taking place and
receive inadequate training as smaller
groups. However, the bureau does be-
lieve that in the course of definite
cycle of training, or when training has
progressed to a point where divisional
work is deemed distinctly advisable, that
brief problem or concentration may
be undertaken to advantage. 1t should
occupy. the bureau says. only two or
three days of field period. Any such
exercise should not interfere with the
regular training of the units, nor
should 1t be such that LAY off" after
ward for recuperation is necessary. Any
such "letdown" tends to destroy the good
effects of discipline and instruction built
up in the early days Of the field period
