ROLLING PRAIRIE, Ind., July 10.—The big militarists of the United States, dominated and backed by the big capitalists, are hot on the job of teaching the young "militarists" of the country what their future job as counter-revolutionary agents is to be in the army. The men, most of them mere boys, in Camp Roosevelt, citizens' training camp here, were given the problem of evacuating a company of "reds" which were supposed to be camped in Laporte.
The "blues" won this time, but maybe another time the "red army" will win, and it's just possible that some of the youngsters may be proud of being "reds" and learn how to use their military power for other purposes than for obeying capitalists' orders to crush workers' revolts.
