BY WINIFRED BLACK.

Waukegan ILL.,, June 22.-If ever a
boy needed help and needed friends
and needed power to help him out of
desperate trouble, since youth began
to seek trouble-and to find it waiting
at every convenient point-that boy is
Will Orpet.
Link after link, the chain off evil

easy acquiescence in every kind of
boyish stupidity came out clearer and
clearer.

Clearly, infinitely, inexorably those
witnesses did tell-and what a posi-

He was in Madison. He had never
left Madison. He knew Marian Lam

than slightly. He hadn't written her
since little after New Years. There
was nothing serious between them at
all. Never was. How could there be :?
Well, then, if they must have it, he
was not in Madison. He was in Lake
Forest. Yes, he was the man with the
cap, who was seen reckoning to
Marian on the day she died.
Yes, they walked together in the
woods. He told her he was tired of
her and left her. Afterwards he

| Today, 1 suppose, we shall have
the confession in which he told that
he saw the poor girl take the poison
and watched her die. We didn't get

| There was something about the
steady mechanical testimony of the
public stenographer who read what

pets lips-up there in Madison on
the night of his arrest-that was
fairly chilling to the blood.
Quiet, businesslikc, absolutely dis

orable as the steady ticking of a
clock
By the end of the day the nerves of
every spectator in the courtroom were
taut-and how Will Orpet and his
family endured the terrific strain is
more than I can even attempt to i'm

KS Compulsory Service
by 689 Ballots to So.

Compulsory military training has
been almost unanimously demanded by
business men making up the Chamber
of Commerce Of the United States. Re-
suits of a referendum vote taken
among the organizations throughout
the country, as published in the cur
rent number of THE Nations Busi-
ness" show $50 votes for such service
and SO against.
Twenty-fOur states voted unanimous
~ for universal training, while in
eighteen other states the vote ranged
from more than 100 70 | TO 10 ! IA
voring the proposed measure. In but
one state Alabama was the PROPOSE
tion opposed.
The question upon which the vote
was taken, as sent out by committee
of the Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States, was as follows:
The committee, recognizing military
obligation equally with the civic obli-
cations as a fundamental duty OF demo-
cratic citizenship in republic, and 10
establish a system that viii affect every
man alike. recommends that universal
military training be adopted az a
fundamental democratic principle of
our military policy and be enforced by
law TO furnish adequate land, sea and
industrial forces in peace and war"
The returns show that business men
have recognized the need Of such uni
versa training and the obligation of
democratic citizenship to participate in
il. Such service. it is pointed out
should be demanded and enforced, just
as taxes are collected. II is argued
patriotism causes few persons to pay
