Lindley M. Garrison, Secretary, The War Department, Washington, D. C. Sir: The Cincinnati Enquirer of August 31 contains a news item from Washington stating that letters from various cities had been recehed by you telling of alleged quiet, but regular, drills held by Germans in Turnverein and other halls and that such information had been referred by the War Department to The War Department of Justice fjr investigation In order to assist the latter department in its investigation, permit us to state that the North American Gymnastic Union was founded in the year 11350 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and comprises today 218 Turnverein or gymnastic societies with an enrollment of about 55,000 members. In the halls of these Turnvereins, located in various cities of this country, regular gymnastic drills have been held for sixty-five (fi5) years, the aim of those gymnastic societies being to make its members strong in body and mind and also to introduce gymnastic exercises in the curriculum of the Public schools of our country.

Tiie Gymnastic Union furlher maintains at its own expense a Normal college located in this city for the purpose of training competent teachers of gymnastics. This college was organized in the year 1S66 at New-York. During the Civil War the Gymnastic Union was temporarily-suspended owing to the fact that over sixty percent of its members enlisted in the Union Army. We are taking the liberty of sending you under separate cover a brief history of the North American Gymnastic Union, the catalogue of its Normal college for the year 191b-16, also the year book of Apr'l 1915, containing on pages 35 to 3'J a complete list of gymnastic societies in this country. We also beg to call your attention to the following resolution unanimously passed at the National convention of the Gymnastic Union held at San Francisco on July 26-29, 1915: "History evidences the gradual growth of the supremacy of right over might in the relations between individuals, as well as in those between states and nations.

In our opinion the time is ripe for a more extensive application of this principle. For this reason we favor the settlement of all international disputes by judicial proceedings and the support cf all endeavors toward the elimination of ail conflicts between nations and toward a harmonious organization of all mankind.

Gray, I OS Miami is a sister. One Leavenworth boy who is I teaching his first term of country this year is getting an ay with it iij fine shape and he has two short i exorcises that last but a moment but which do more to teach their parti- I cular subject than a lessen of 'lie usual period would do. When chooi is ready to dismiss he says, tiou," and places his folded hands cn his desk. Each student does ihrt same thine and they all glance toward scot on the wali. hen ail uuiit.

2'. tut, nic um hi an orderly manner. When school takes up he rings a bell, giving first one chort tap When that is heard, ti.e students, no matter what they are doing, wrestling, running or anything else, stop absolutely in Ceir tracks and do not move until the second tap is heard when hey run and take their places in line, liis explanation to a visitor of the two things was short-and contained a lot cf food for thought. When they glance at the certain place on the school room wall, they are looking at an American flag. "I have told them that the red stands for a certain thing, the white for a ceifam thing, and that the stars are pmced on the flag as they are for a certain reason," he told the vis'tor, "and they know whai has been told them.

When they look at the fiag thpy are taking their lesson in patriotism and that is all the time I can devote to it. They stop when the bell first taps as a lesson in self control." Pretty good stuff for a boy teaching his first year of school, and worthy of emulation in every school in the land. Congregational Church concept Tuesday evening by Jos. A. Farrell, at Leavenworth.

Tickets 50c, at Carl Hoffman Music and Harmon Barnes. Approximately half of Leavenworth went out into the woods yesterday afternoon i after waiuti and the like. It was a delightful d3y to be out on strolls or auto lides, for those who had the opportunity. Five men, seemingly very much under the influence of the fluid which dulls the senses, were noticed lying on the frosty giound on the reservation near Seventh and Metropolitan Avenue last night. Surely a bushel of sorrows must have been drowned last night.

There are probably five men speaking vry hoarsely today, too. There were three new at the state prison today. W. L. Bates of Cherokee county wanted more than one wife and as a result of attaining his ambition is- now within the walls of the prison to serve a term of from one to five years tor bigamy.

High IVairie Contributor Relieves Good Things of Life Are Neglected. (By Hi Prairie.) In these days of prosperity it seems the modern farmer in this great farming section, in his wild rush to accumulate and become wealthy, forgets to live. He doesn't forget to eat nor sleep, but that is not all that living means in a shrewd sense of the word. Figuratively speaking he is busy chasing nickles and rural felicity is entirely forgotton.

His ambition to possess more than his neighbors make life a race, and the good and enjoyable things of life, are not brought into consideration, hence he ceases to be the commoner that we read of and in turn the younger members of the family are brought into a strenuous system of living that prohibits, or destroys all the desire for evening gatherings of any description. Nut crackings and singings are to be known of only as past history. A glee club or a country orchestra would be considered impossible, for few would have time for rehearsal unless financial benefits were realized. Dances have failed to attract crowds large enough to pay expenses, which condition may or may not be welcomed by parents prob-aldy the former. Even in the Tennessee hills, where the residents are seidon-spoken of other than as hill dwellers or moonshiners, a mere postoffice community is known to possess a country band of considerable ability, and its possibilities are not yel at an end.

Here a country boy of but twelve or fourteen years of age, when approached ia conversation, wili invariable bjgin talking of the crops or the work he has ahead, and if hi were behind a curtain one would think a settled man of forty as speaking. Work is so impressed upon his mind that he can speak, or think of nothing else and his boyhood's happy days, so much cherished by most of us, are omitted entirely. If more time was spent on a stump holding a fishing rod, or in the kitchen making candy we might realize some of the fireside stories we or.ly read of now. If the young peot'ie are not interested in the old time pastimes, how easily they could organise clubs or basket ball The would not have the great difficulties to contend with that are a constant hindrance in the city, so much as finding grounds that can be dedicated to such amusements, etc. There are ideal level spots and plenty of shade trees on almost every farm, that could be made into teams courts with but little difficulty New Arrivals Ladies' Black Kid Gipsy Cut Shoes, all sizes, $3.00 per pair.

The Shubert-Brady feature photoplay, "The Imposter," based on the successful stage play of the same name, with Josie Collins und Alec-Frances in the stellar roles, is at the Orpheum today, and both of these Players make good. Mr. France has a dual role, that of a rich, but grouchy baronet, and that of his twin brother, an outcast who marries a Gypsy, known as tae Tearer." The rich brother visits the ether's shack, dies then? and the poor man, donning his hrother's dothes, lakes his place on his yacht, sails to his hirne and there even fools his brother's own son.
