CAPT. RYAN is UPHELD
IN COURT CRITICISM

l. The War Department is standing
squarely behind Capt. T. F. Ryan,
United States recruiting officer at In
dianapolis, who was recently cited for
contempt of court for his criticism of
a local judge. who attempted to SEN
tence a prisoner to enlistment in the
army.
The captain has been instructed by
the department to appear before the
court and disclaim any intention OF
contempt. But he is to state that he
acted on behalf of the federal govern
ment with view of bringing before
the public a proper conception of the
attitude of the government In the mat
ter and to represent that the action OF
the court is calculated to injure the
army and prevent the enlistment OF
good men.
The Department of Justice will assign
to the nearest district attorney the de-
fense Of Capt. Ryan. and the officer is
Instructed to decline to pay any fine
with the understanding that if COM
mitted for contempt he will be prompt
ly taken out under writ of habeas
corpus.

tive to the proposed organization OF a
womans auxiliary to the local army
branch Y. NJ. G. A. and an appeal for
the support of the Army Relief So
ciety was the principal feature of a
meeting Of the latter organization In
the gridiron room of the New Willard

The proposed auxiliary. according to
Mrs. Scott. would meet situations
which other similar organizations do
not handle. It's principal purpose
would be to render assistance to the
wives and children of living enlisted
men who,are deprived of their hus-
bands and fathers temporarily from
time to time.
Reports from the treasurer and the

JAPAN TO Be STR|CTER
WITH GERMAN SUBJECTS
Abuse Of Privileges Causes Nip
ponese Cabinet to Take
Action.
0, the Associated Press

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Japan, Monday. February Is.
-Stricter treatment and surveillance
Of German and Austrian subjects re-
siding in Japan has been decided upon
by the Japanese cabinet.
Announcement is made that although
since the outbreak Of the war with
Germany, Germans and Austrians have
been given every freedom Of residence,
travel and occupation. recently various
complaints have hcen made that there
is some abuse of these opportunities.
even to the extent Of endangering the
peace. and order of Japan.
The cabinet therefore decided that In
case violations of the regulations oc-
cur in the future the offending for
eigners will be expelled from the coun-
try 1t has been further decided that
subjects of these countries who wish
to enter Japan shall be permitted to do
so only after securing a permit from
the japanese authorities.
Official Statement.
An official statement outlining these
points concludes az Follows:
There have been reported to the for
elgn ONCE many cases of inhumau
treatment of the Japanese In Germany.
as II they were considered prisoners.
They even have been compelled to
work like ordinary prisoners. There
are still some Japanese left in Germany
whose whereabouts are not known as
yet; and there is no means of learn
ing what Is happening to them.
'The decision arrived at by the ca abi-
net has not been made In spirit of re-
Henge. But while conditions in Ger
many are such it Is too much to allow
Germans and Austrians here to live In
such way as to disturb the peace and
order of the country"
There are 123 Germans and 80 Aus
trians in Toxic.

MONEY ORDER SYSTEM
IS MA|NSTAY Of MANY
War in Europe Reveals Extent to
Which United States Service Is
Used for Aid.

| The huge extent to which the for
eign money order business of the Unit
ed States postal service is used wal
shown with startling clcarness during
| the first months of the war in Europe
depend upon the money order system
to bring them the means to keep bod.
and soul together, and when they coult
not receive their accustomed money
orders from relatives in the Cnitct
States they were, in many cases, face
| to face with starvation.
According to a statement given. Out
by the Post Office Department today
conditions are now fast returning te
the normal. Under ordinary conditions
money orders amounting to more thar
800, 100000 are issued annually in the
United States for payment in foreign
countries. OF this amount Italy re-
ceivcs approximately s22,00o,oo0; Great
Britain and Russia, each, s13,0o0,00O
Austria, s1o.o0o,O00: Hungary: ss,ooo.,
600, while Germany gets only aoou'
81, 600, 900, and France but little over
$t.00O,000.
try a little more than s1o,o00,000 II
postal money orders
Boon to Citizens Abroad.
The service proved d. boon to American
citizens who were abroad when the war
broke out. In thousands Of cases funds
could not have been forwarded to them
in any other manner.
Austria. Belgium. Egypt and Portu.
gal have notified the United States OF
the suspension OF money order business
with this country. These suspensions
are stiIl in effect and many letters have
reached the department indicating very
forcibly the extent to which many un-
fortunates in foreign lands depend for
their very existence on the renlittances
made in this manner.
Before the Inauguration OF the postal
savings system in the United States large
sums wero sent annually TO postal say
ines banks abroad. but the constant and
growing popularity Of our home institu-
ton has materially reduced the amounts

.EAVORS RESTRICTION
Of ARMIES AND NAV|ES
American League, Formed to Limit
Armaments, Proposes World
Wide Movement.

NEW YORK, March 1o.-Inausuration
Of movement to bring about world
wide restriction of armies and naSies
by international agreement after the
European war is ended was announced
today by the American League to Limit
Arnaments. The movement Is being
organized through conferences and
correspondence with leaders of public
thought in several foreign countries.
1t was stated.
I'VE are undertaking to solidify the
movement and CO. ordinate the efforts
along this line while the war is still
in progress In order to make the
strongest possible presentation of the
issue at the earliest opportune mo-
ment,'' says the leagues announce
ment.
Object Of the Movement.
I'VE are not proposing methods to
bring peace to Europe until Europe is
ready to stop fighting OF its own accord
says the announcement. I'VE stand by
what we hold to be the main proposition
that the reduction Of all arnlaments to
the least proportions consistent with the
demands OF normal tranquility and the
use of the money now going into de-
structive engines of war for the con-
structive agencies Of peace. is the true
solution OF the peace problem.

The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1915-05-21

THE "triumphal progress of German civiliza-
ton seems to have been sidetracked at a
way station.
QUITE bunch of patriots are now IN
watchful waiting since the back tax law has
been repealed
IF there were any omissions OF sin by this
by this Legislature it was due to lack OF
time or an oversight
WE STILL insist that LUKE LEA will be re,
w nominated because of his ownership OF
the Tennessean and American.
THE least the President can do is to demand
L satisfaction for the deeds of the past and a
definite guarantee as to the future
WITH the Terre Haute incident before them,
w will Messrs. CRUMP and HOWSE have any
personally conducted" elections in future!
THE paintings that the papers of the State are
l. giving Governor RYE and his clan will be
used with good effect in next years campaign.
DESPITE his critics, it highly probable that
IL Colonel RoosEvELT's knowledge OF war
could be used in case hostilities should begin.
OUCH men as Senators ALTERNATELY and WHITE
~ can afford to afford to laugh at the TRADES
of abuse heaped upon them by the Chattanooga
Times.
THE reason WOODROW wrote that note to Ger
L MANY was that he was afraid WILLIAM
might substitute his "Prince of Peace lecture
instead.
THE trouble with the brand of Democracy ad-
vocated by the Chattanooga Times is that
it wants the State governed by, of, for and solely
in the interests of the whiskey element.
THE principle involved in the sinking OF the
Lusitania and other outrages is such that
the patriotism of America would not stop TO
count the cost if war becomes necessity.
TO-DAY, if by the fortunes of war Germany
were made to change places with Belgium,
the bounty Of the United States would be as
freely extended to the former as it was to the
latter.
THE President has no cause for complaint as
L to the manner in which press and people
are lending him support. But they expect him
uphold the dignity and traditions OF this great
nation.
DECULARS made an awful effort to prevent
IL money being appropriated to make effect,
i've law enforcement. But the Republicans and
independents were on the job And just how
Governor Rye is going to explain his inslstence'
remains to be seen.
The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1915-05-21

ANOTHER such Legislature, and there will
"A grounds for petition to abolish the whole
thing.
TN THE past, the United States has nobly re.
responded to every call OF humanity ohal
we shirk that duty, now?
HOPE deferred in getting primary bill that
IL would cinch his nomination maketh the
heart of one LUKE LEA sick.
A CRIME against civilization has been COM
"A mitted and this country can not evade It's
responsibilities in the premises.
A SIMPLE warning does not give license to
"A commit murder, and Germany should be
made to understand this instanter.
ONLY those Independents susceptible to the
~ lust of office have deserted that wing OF
the party, and it is the stronger for it.
r Unless this country can build larger navy
- and train more of its citizens for soldiers,
it will have to quit writing saucy notes.
THE taxpayers of Polk County are lucky in
that the present County Court will have no
say in the disposition of that $4,000.
IF THE United States ever gets to the point
where it is too proud to fight, there are half
dozen nations to whom we could give our navy.
IF THIS country expects to hold its place in
L the ranks of the Worlds nations, an end
will have to be put to this "watchful waiting
buncombe.
TUST how the Regulars, in the next campaign
j will explain the abject failure of this Legls-
lature to redeem its platform pledges is mys-
terry at this time.
TT IS seldom that an Ex-Governor has more IN
Auence than the active one; but in the pass
of the custer and back tax laws, Governor
HOOPER has shown some class.
ONLY men who have never been IN business
~ and never will be are preaching the doc
trine that adverse and iniquitous legislation Is
not responsible for our business condition today
TT WAS not necessary for either Governor KYE
L or Speaker HILL to call attention to the tact
that the pledges in the Democratic platform had
been ignored. 1t was known they would be when
the result of the November election was made
known.
THOSE who are protesting SO loud that the
L President can be counted upon to 90 the
right thing lose sight Of the fact that ne did ab
solutely nothing in the way OF protecting our
citizens or demanding reparation tor the Out
RACES committed against them in Mexico
