WIRE CONGRESS FOR SELECTIVE CONSCRITION Bismarck Committee Asks Sup- port of McCumber, Gronna and Young for Measure PATRIOTIC PARADE MADE BIG HIT “Big patriotic Lexington Day rally held here today. “Conscription is fa- vored.

Yesterday's observance of Lexing- ton day was a success in every re- The Outbursts of Everett True By Condo AND REMIND THEM, IN THIS Owe Cone HERE! SOMG OTHER THINGS You AND OVER AGAIN To DO! spect. ‘Hven the weather, at the elev- enth hour, proved its patriotism by becoming almost ideal for an outdoor gathering. The effect of Dr. Weaver's stirring address was to arouse the people of Bismarck to a realization of the crisis which confronts America. No one who heard the vice president of the United States Navy league, himself a veteran of the war with ‘Spain, and the father of five warrior sons, can longer be indiiferent to the situation, The parade which preceded the ex- ercises was one of the largest that has been staged in Bismarck, Hun- dreds were in line, and every element in the life of thé city and state were represented, Ai some of the novel features which appealed were the Bismarck Seots, nationally garbed for the occasion, and headed by pipes and drums in highland costume; M. J. O’Connor’s fife and drum corps, in which five Bismarck lads in khaki and colonial costume plied the drums, with O’Connor and Lloyd Harmon at the fifes, and the Women’s auxillary, in their patriotic chapeaus and na- tional colors. The Spirit of Paul revere. A feature of the parade whic came as a surprise to marchers and spec- tators alike was the sudden appeai ance of the “Spirit of Paul Revere who dashed down the line as it pass- ed into Fourth street, bringing anew his message: “Awake! Arise!” Mounted on a spirited charger, in typical continental dress, and with. the long, flowing locks of the day, H. S. Lobach splendidly typified the pa- triot whom Longfellow’s lines have rendered immortal. And never was there a more real Uncle Sam than ine who yesterday headed the fife and drum corps, That patriotic gentleman in private life is Henry Rhud, His unusual height and bearing, his features and his cos- tuming were perfect for the part, and as he majestically strode along, bear- ing aloft the Stars and Stripes, he never failed to earn a cheer from each new group of spectators. Excellent Setting. Bismarck yesterday found itself for- tunate in the possession in the heart of the city of the spacious commons which adjoin the municipal Auditor- ium. Sloping gently to the top of the rise on Thayer street, where the speaker's platform: was stationed, the campus formed an excellent, natural ampitheater, where everyone could see and hear without difficulty, All of the speakers were in good voice, and not a word was lost, The scene, with colors waving, and people massed hundreds deep, cover- ing almost an entire block, was a bril- liant one viewed from a little dis- tance. The singing coule ve heard blocks away. The day, the occasfon and the re- sponse from the people of Bismarck was everytiing that could be asked, and the committee today. expresses its ‘gratification with: the result.

C. Lyon, correspondent of the Tribune, has enlisted in the United States navy and from time to time, will write of his experi- ences for this newspaver. He has gene through the &.

Sooner. or later ever; recruit must learn to stand squarely on his own feet. There’s no place in the service for the half-way fellow. The navy is not a reform school and bad boys who are known to be such won't be accepted. But once in a while a bad one gets in, For this fellow. there are only two avenues open: either he must bring himself up to the level of his fellows, the vast majority of whom are clean, well-behaved chaps, or he must leave the service. “A few drops of sour milk will spoil a gallon of good milk,” one of the in- structors at the ‘Norfolk training sta- tion used to say. T talked with an old resident of Nor- folk one day, when hundreds of blue- jackets were in town on a holiday. W 8 particularly impressed, he said, with the gentlemanly behavior of the crowd. “The personnel of the navy has been wonderfully improved,” he said. “I can remember back about 25 years ago when business men would lock up their stores and the Police force would go into hiding when the fleet anchored down the bay and the crews had a holi- day.” There’s an immense naval Y. M. C. A. at Norfolk, and one night 507 bluejackets were registered there and the lobby and game rooms were crowded to the doors. The new federal. law which permits the appointment of 100 boys from the navy to the Annapolis Naval academy has done much toward ‘bringing into the navy felows with good educations. The 100 appointments are determ- ined by competitive examinations, There was a boy in my company named Theron D, Wilson, a graduate of Knoxville (Tenn.) high school.

One of the questions they ask is: “Do you want to attend school at the station and better your educa- tion?” Two or three boys in my class an- swered they didn’t want to go to school, although it was evident their educations had ‘been neglected. “We merely ask that question to find out what kind of stuff you boys have,” smiled Captain Frazier when he read the answérs. “Every boy here has to go to schoo} {wo hours a day.” The navy is no place for a molly- coddle. eae ‘Mollycoddles enlist, of course, but they quickly develop into real men. One of them was bitterly complain- ing one day because boys in the navy have to wash their own clothes. “If my mamma and papa knew 1) was doing this they'd have a fit,” he said, The next day, instead of having one white suit to wash he had three; somebody, during the night, had tak- en his clothes from his bag and had wiped muddy shoes on them. The same thing was kept up for about a week, until the mollycoddle announced he really liked to do his own laundering! A bunch of us were on shoré leave one day and crowded a Norfolk: vau- deville theatre. i One-of the singers was somewhat nettled that the boys should ‘be so en- thusiastic in their applause, She got the idea they were “kidding” her. But she was a brave performer and, &s an-encore, she sang a sweetly sen- timental song about a “little gray mother.” You could have heard a pin drop in the balcony where the bluejackets were sitting, and when she finished, half the boys were wiping their eyes with their handkerchiefs and didn't care who saw them do it. Every boy in the navy must write home once a week or he is denied “liberty” to go ashore one afternoon each week.
