Undoubtedly the present war has given a keen interest to the spec: tacle. J. FRANK BURKE. The picture is an allegorical story of war that has laughed at the world’s flaunting boast of a higher Progress. It pictures the awfulness of a world mad with the blood lust of conquest.

Soldiers Will Leave STATE’S INFANTRY IS HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED “Each Has Done His Bit of Duty, Be Proud of Him,’’ Says : Correspondent By STAFF CORRESPONDENT. U. S. Army Headquarters, Mercedes, Tex., Dec, 28—The North Dakota “boys” are going to leave for home. But they placed North Dakota on the map. There is a lot of regret among. army men on the border because these soldiers are going back now. Higher officials: talk: it. Out: loud, too.:For we all like. thoroughbreds—in horses, in men and women, in every phase of life that comes. And that’s what the First North Dakota “boys” on the border ‘now are—what they were in citer days when soldiers were need- ed, “Boys” Have “Made Good”. . I heard at Brownsville on Monday night that North Dakota soldiers would be among the sixteen thous- and sent home—within ten minutes after the wireless had received the word. And I dropped other matters, packed my grip and took the first train tor Mercedes. For I wanted to write something more of Colonel Fraine’s regiment before the return— to tell the folks back home again that their boys had “made good.” And I knew, from what army then had said to me, that these Flickertail soldiers had “made good.” Back to Dakota Weather Barefooted boys romped upon the streets. Women walked along the thoroughfares in théir thin dresses. Soldiers were about camp in their shirt-sleeves. There were roses blooming in many yards and the wild flowers flourished over the land. The sun beat down upon us—not unkind- ly, but in gentle warmth. , Cold ashes were in the camp stoves of the squad tents. There had been a light frost and the banana trees drooped with shriveled leaves. But the palms wav- ed high in waxy green luxuriance, and the ebony and the mesquite gave such rich color as would please any member of the Ancient Order of Hi- bernians. A barefooted Mexican wom- an walked along the street to her daily work. Birds sang in the trees. I sit by the open window in the office of Captain Baird of Dickinson. The outer door and other windows are al- So open. It has been necessary to re- move my blouse to be comfortable. And when I told those boys in the early morning that they were to go home soon, they yelled and yelled to show their enthusiasm. They want to go home. They want to sit in their old places, to do their old work, to greet the old faces. And to do that they are willing to leave the vine- clad places of the Southland—three hundred miles south of New Orleans —and go back to North Dakota weath- er in January. Is there better proof of what “home” means to these boys? Is there better evidence of what North Dakota's charm is to them? But, sentiment aside, what are these boys going back to, folks? What will it mean‘to them after their return? What will it mean to you, who are so anxious to see these boys and have them home with you again? lar Southerners” The First North Dakota came down here in July.

The most thrilling and awe inspiring naval bat- tles ever conceived were staged, with the aid and co-operation of the Unit- ed States navy. There is shown one naval battle alone in which $18,000 in ammunition was fired at the enemy's fleet of converted ‘battleships, which yrds CHERIZINGER. J..BARNEY SHERRY took: three months to construct and prepare. Every contrivance and death dealing device known to ,modern sci- ence of war are used. A passenger steamer loaded with women and chil- dren is sunk by a submarine in full view of the audience. If the awful trail of battle stretches vividly through the scenes of the nar- O} HERSCHE rative, it is in the hope that a shock- ed and appaled world may henceforth devote ‘itself. more earnestly. to the cause of peace. Throughout and be- yond the great scenes of conflict there is: developed a wonderful-love story, for it is the story of God's love of humanity. The’ picture is filled with scenes’ of vivid contrast, and there tary site that was covered with mes- quite and thorn. There seemed to be cactus everywhere. They worked ahead and cleared this land of the thick brush. The rain fell upon them and deluged the land. They waded in their work. Trenches were dug. Boys who had never used a spade before worked shoulder to shoulder with those who knew how, and did not complain—very much. They became acclimated. Their blood became thin. They were able to withstand the hot sun. As the tropical summer passed they took on tan and strength. They were becoming “regular Southerners.” Along in November the first “norther” came. In five minutes the chill came on. The thermometer dropped and dropped until it reached 38 above— and the officers and enlisted men alike almost froze. I slept under three blankets that night and was colder than I had ever been in North Da- kota under three blankets. And I was there in the winter of’ 1906-07, too. Since then we have had two or three “northers” in the Valley of the Rio Grande, and the boys have "felt the cold intensely, until they build fires in their squad tents. Then they are comfortable. Heavy overcoats have been issued to them, coverings that come almost to their shoe tops, And they are generally very comfort- able. ‘But. l.am wondering how they will stand that North Dakota weather in January; sj) +1: Palm Beach: Sult Not. Wanted The North Dakota people might, just as well realize the condition now— and make ready for the homecoming. Each of their soldiers must have win- ter clothing and an overcoat. The palm-beach suit that he, cast, aside when he left. home, will, not suffice now.! He can’t: wear ..the . military clothing after he gets, k, “His com- pany commander is financially respon- sible for these things. So, when the glad. home-coming day arrives, your boy will come back to.you in need of clothing..and employment. Both should be provided for before he gets to his home station. His well-being will; requige:that you attend to each of these:details promptly and intelli- gently: 4 Employment is far-better than any other kind of help you can offer these boys. For work which will give him money will keep his self-respect. He is now a boy of whom you can be proud. Keep him so. He has “done his bit on the border,” and he has done it exceedingly well. He is com- ing back to you improved in many ways. He will show more grit and stamina than he did before he went away. This service has made a real man of him. Keep him so. And idle- ness will not help him. He is going to neew some real work to do. He took the place of another boy—per- haps your boy. He is ready, and has been ready, to go across the border and fight for his country, whether your boy goes or not. He had done a lot for North Dakota. He had‘ made a wonderful name for the state. Here and there laggards have been found, just as they .will be found in every organization under the sun. You will find who they were when they get back home. But ninety-nine per cent of these boys have worked hard and well and they have done much for the slary of the commonwealth. They have made a fine start for a finer citi- zenship. Boost the game. Best Outfit on Border A military man of recognized strength, one whose service dates back to the Philippine service, but who did not know that I was par- ticularly interested in anything said about the First North Dakota, said to me: . “I regard the First North Dakota ag the best outfit on the border. I have watches these men with a good deal of interest. Their morale is won- derful. They look and act like sol- diers. If I were going to be given a bunch of men to take across I would prefer the First North Dakota. That's how I feel about the regiments I have seen, and I have had the opportunity to intimately know many regiments since they came down here in the sum mer.” General Hall, retired, who has been visiting troops on the border, and who did not realize that I know any North Dakota men, ‘said to me: : “That North Dakota regiment is a splendid one. Colonel Fraine is a real soldier, a great commander. He has developed a remarkable organization. I like his work very much.” Men Were Unprejudiced Both of these men were unpreju- diced in every way. They were mere- ly commnding merit. And, because you will be pleased ,too, I am sending the word along to you: I want to'tell you something else, too. The First North Dakota stands FIRST among them all in sanitation, according to the army reports made after thorough inspection. The boys expect to leave for North Dakota by the fifteenth of January. It all depends upon transportation. They will probably be at Fort Snelling for three or four days and then Proceed to North Dakota. I am wondering if you will do as well by them as they have done by you. And I think you will. WANTED. Empty sacks of all kinds. Gussner.—Adv. Geo. By GEORGE MARTIN United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Dec. 28.—Powerful forc- es, both sinister and benign, are lining up here today for the case ‘of Billy Sunday versus ,Broadway, Wall Street, Bohemia, et al, which goes to trial April 1. * What sort of reception Sunday and his old time shouting Methodist camp meeting style will get in the world’s gayest, richest, wickedest, most mater- ial city, is the subject of much specula- tion among the residents. He will Ife the biggest attraction the old town has seen for years, and it is predicted that great mobs will literally fight to get near his giant tabernacle. Battle Royal. It will be a battle royal; and prepar- ations are being made accordingly. Billy and Broadway have been spar- ring for position for several years; and now at last the evangelist is com- ‘ing to: fight the devil in his own home town, Broadway, as. Broadway, seems to have paid little heed to Sunday's plans. But scratch the surface and you find that what Cyclone Davis calls The Boys of Booze and Boodle are not asleep. The belligerent Billy, though busy with Boston is watching carefully every move in his preliminary cam- paign here. Already a small army of Sundayites are organizing the big town.. On January 14 a brigade of the evangeligt’s most, remarkable trail hit- ters from every. city he has invaded, will march on the metropolis and take it by storm, This is one of many ot the preliminaries calculated to create atmosphere for Billy’s coming.

H. Smith, M. D.) In spite of the best care one takes of oneself, any part of the human ma- chine is liable to become out of order. The most important organs are the stomach, heart and kidneys. The kidneys are the scavengers and they work day andpight in separating the poisons from the blood. Their sig- nals of distress are easily recognized’ and include such symptoms. as back- ache, depressions, drowsiness, irtita- bility, headaches, dizziness rheumatic twinges dropsy gout. The very best way to restore the kidneys to their normal state is to drink plenty, of pure water and obtain a small amount of Anuric which is dis- pensed by most every druggist. An- uric is inexpensive and should be tak- en before meals. . It is much more po- {ttes, factory girls and hospital nurses. Services Daily. No one has been neglected.

People are realizing more and more every day that the kidneys, just as do the bowels, need to be flushed occa- sionally. The kidneys are an elimina- tive organ and are constantly work- ing, separating the poisons from the blood. Under this continual and per- petual action they are‘apt to congest, and then trouble starts. Uric acid backs up into the system, causing rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy and many other serious disturbances, It means that you are a victim to uric acid poisoning. Then ask your drug- gist for Anuric, which was first discov- ered by Dr. Pierce of the Surgical In- stitute in Buffalo, and which is dis- pensed by nearly every druggist in the and white way whose gleaming search jland.

It is shown twice daily—matinee and evening. Homer Rodenheaver, Sunday’s choir director, expects to organize a double choir of 8,000 to 10,000 voices. George G. Dowie will lead the prize trail hitters from Philadelphia and elsewhere, some of them having been converted seven years ago. These will used to prove;that Sunday conver- lons are not “flash in the pan” work. Nothing is being left’ undone to pave the way for Sunday’s triumphant ad- vance upon New. York; nor, on the other hand, is anything left undone to circumvent his efforts. “BINGO” Absolutely Removes Corns and Calluses Completely 25 Cents, All Drug Stores, In- cluding Cowan’s, Drug Store.
