EVANS, (Tribune’s Correspondent, Who Is Touring the Army Training Camps.) Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Ia., Oct. 6.—The first Americans in the drafted army are already on the way to gen- erals’ stars. They are becoming corporals and sergeants in the new national army. That’s what I found today at Camp Dodge, training cantonment for more than 45,000 soldiers. Young fellows who came into camp; with the first five per cent quota on Sept. 5 are, many of them, non-com- missioned officers now. ‘They are helping to train their comrades. The real heavy work of training is' ‘ notion to go in and show him the right being borne so far, however, by 750 sergeants from the regular army. “We're a little bit hampered in our work.” one of these regular army ser- geants told me. The general won't jet us cuss at the selected men as we, used to cuss at volunteers. But the boys, most of them, are willing to learn. .

Townley, Frazier, Van Lear, La Follette, Gron- na and many other lesser apostles of gloom all painted pictures of black despair without a ray of hope.

Morris Sun: The sentiments ex- pressed at the Nonpartisan league) meeting unless repudiated in the! strongest terms ‘by the members of the league, will give the impression throughout the country that the organ- ization is strictly pro-German and that disloyalty is its main aim and purpose. Farmers as a class are just as loyal to our country as are the residents of our cities, and we are greatly mis- taken if they do not strongly resent} the taint on their loyalty by the words ; of that arch traitor, La Follette. one class of men against another class of men. This is not ®nly wrong fun- damentally, but it is also unAmerican. Any agitator who strives to arouse class hatred and class suspicion is j doing his country an injury and an i injustice. And you can bet your last ‘cent that these agitators are not actu- ated by the highest motivés, but are’ looking forward to lining their wal- lets with greenbacks wrested from the unsuspicious.

And | give it to him, too.” : At Fort Dodge, as at other camps, officers ‘told me they have been pleas- antly surprised by the cheerful and willing spirit of the selected men. I overheard a conversation between two soldiers which well illustrated this spirit that already is pushing recent: civilians upward in military life. One, a former butcher, had been watching his company cook prepare round steak for mess. “T tell you,” he said to his compan- ion, “that cook isn’t cutting the meat right. He just slashes out all the bone, and that’s wasteful. I've got a way.” “Might make him sore,” said the ‘other. “I don’t care,” said the butcher-sol- dier. “Theres no use in letting that waste go on.” And he walked boldly into the kitchen. I later found that his suggestion was received gladly and his less waste- ful ‘method of cutting meat was adopted. Several miles from Camp Dodge, at Fort Des ‘Moines, is the country’s only training camp for negro officers. At one time there were 1,248 men in this camp, learning to be captains and lieu- tenants over selected negro soldiers. When I visited Fort Des Moines, I found this: number decreased to about 900, since the training period is nearly ended. There also were about 150 ne-| gro doctors, learning to be medical officers. The candidates for commissions are; teachers, doctors, lawyers. Many are college graduates. About 75 per cent are from the south. They have gone through the same rigid discipline that} white officers face in their training camps, and, their officers say, are) making good. i and the sooner forgotten the better) Townley, the widely heralded conven- tion of the Nonpartisan league, suc-! ceeded in accomplishing at least one * * * heifarmers of Minnesota | the eclipse of Townley and his. or- ganization.
