MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 1919 RUSS DENOUNCES PROFESSIONAL REFORMERS WHO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ABSENCE OF REAL MANHOOD North Dakota Fighter Declares Soldier Not Necessarily Opposed to Prohibition But Entitled to Express His Opinion—* Red Tape in Army Is Decried In no uncertain terms, Major George H. Russ, who saw service in this country and France ag a captain and major in the 352nd infantry, shot Pointed darts at the regular army of- ficers, the system. of training, Nation- al Guard officers, the “long haired men and short haired women” who were actively engaged in reforming the country “while the best blood in the United ‘States was fighting in France’ ‘and the “expert writers on the war who viewed its bloodshed and horrors from the safety and comfort of a limousine.” ‘Major Russ’ talk was delivered last night at the evening services of the Presbyterian church. The service was permeated vith patriotic songs and thymns, ,the national anthem and “America, ‘My America” be'ng among the selections. One portion of the latter is as follows: “America! America! God mend thy ev'ry flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law.” ‘Henry Halvorson sang “In Flanders Field,” written by Col: John McCrea, a Canadian soldier, shortly ‘before he was killed on the battlefield. Major Russ, in his talk, rapidly sketched his entrance into the service as a captain in August, 1917, follow- ing ‘his three months’ attendance at ‘a-training camp and his assignment to the 352nd infantry, where he was one of the first officers and where he through his being commanding officer of the supply company outfitted ana supplied the thousands of drafted men who. arrived later and formed the reg- iment. iNew Heroes of “Sedan.” “No doubt ‘you have read glowing, ‘but inaccurate accounts of the war from the pens of men who veiwed it from the luxury of a limousine,” said (Major Russ, “but. my experiences and this talk will ‘be entirely confined to the limi'ed view I had of the activi- ties in France, where the world as far as we’ were concerned stretched out ‘before us through No Man’s Land to the German trenches and was not more than 3,000 yards wdie. “The opposition of tie old regular army officers was always evident. Na- tional guard officers and those com- missioned through the various train- ing camps could never satisfy those men who had gone tirough West Point. If I ever become secretary of war one of the first questions I will ask is ‘Why is West Point? Another is, ‘Why is the chief of staff?’ Regular Army Red Tape. “Everything had to be done by the regular army method. It made no difference how foolish, how full of useless red tape, how delaying such action might ‘be. That was the reg- ular army way of doing things and therefore it was right. New officers, ex-bankers, lawyers, business and pro- fessional men who made up the large percentage of the officers both at ‘home and abroad, new nothing in the eyes of the regular army officer. “The government made a big mis- take in training national guard offi- cers. These officers were chosen by the men in the'r commands and the regular army officers said ‘These men as a class are no good.’ They were sent to France, where they+were re- classified at ‘Blooie’ according to reg- ular army officers’ ideas on the sub- ject. These officers should have been sent to training camps in this coun- try just like others and those who made good allowed to retain their rank.

A household account book has said to the Associated Press corre- spondent: “I was vis‘ted by a distinguished commission of men and women, con- yeyed up these hills in two luxurious automobiles decorated in red stream- ers, These read to me my mode of life in Italy and I have ‘since been forced to live under their mandates “You know we have not starved here, though. We have had enough to eat. We have divided our supplies with the people in the red automo- bles and have managed to get along. I do not know just what I will do in the future. I-pay the Italian govern- ment more than a million lire taxes a year but I can ask for little protec- tion for my property. I have given two years’ work during the war to the cause of the allies and, therefore, to the cause of Italy.” ~ SIMPSON MUST PAY BACK WOMAN’S BIT Judge Crawford Holds That League Attorney Shall Dig Dickinson, N. D., Aug. 11.—Judge W. C. Crawford handed down a_de- cision Tuesday favorable to Ella Croy in her suit against H. A. Burgeson and L. A.

The meetings were arranged through Miss Elsie Stark, home demonstration agent for Bur- eligh county. “The food for the young child is the most important factor in its growth FRIVOLOUS BLOUS pee oe eeee eel, Ask almost any maiden what I summer of 1919.

In Germany there is a great deal of disease, children suffer- ing from a-serious form of rickets and eye troubles due to the shortage. “In North Dakota and in Burleigh county there is a siiortage of the most. important food—milk. In many of the smaller towns canned milk is the only milk the mothers in town can obtain for the children. ‘Naturally it is very difficult to get children to. take a sufficient quantity each day of canned milk. Every child ought to have a quart of milk daily. How can we increase the milk supply in Bur- leigh county?” Tesides the talk, Miss Hobart held a demonstration. Some of the things taken up were importance of -breast feeding, modif‘ed milk, complement- ary feeding for ‘breast fed children, diet of baby after weaning; ‘dtet~ of child one and one-half. year to two years old and the importance of milk, vegetables and cereals in diet.
