Threat.
THE TIME TO ENLIST is NOW
Recruiting Begins at the Armory
And Young Men Are Expect
ed to Answer the Call
More Men Are Needed in Lo-

THE TIME TO ENLIST is NOW
cal company.

Are you a patriotic young Ameri-
can?
Are you among those who have al
ways been ready to go to arms when
the country called you?
Then your opportunity is at hand!
| It's no more a question of enlisting
when the time comes; the time is
| here.
So, if you want to see real service,
| If you want to go along to the Mex
| lean border and fight for your coun-
| try, if necessary, then all that is nee
| essary is to go down to the headquar-
| ters of the Brunswick Riflemen and
| join that organization which will
probably leave for Macon before the
| end of the week.
| About dozen recruits, comprising
some of Brunswick's best known
young men, have already enlisted and
| others are prepared to go to the ar
mory this morning and volunteer.
Before the riflemen leave for Ma
con the company will have to be re-
cruited to the full war strength, 65
men, but the officers are anxious to
| secure even larger number, and if
the young men of the city respond to
the call as they should, then the rifle
men will march away with more than
100 strong
In this connection it might be said
| that the Georgia militia is commanded
| by the best known men in the state.
| Dozens of Georgia's most prominent
citizens will be officers in the various
| regiments.
Just when the local company will
leave for Macon is not yet officially
known, but it is the concensus of opin-
ion that as soon as siXty-five men are
on the roster and the state officers
are so notified they will receive NOV
ing orders.
This also applies to musicians who

BRUNSWICkCOMPANY
OF NATIONAL GUARD
ORDERED Modified
NO ENCAMPMENT
FOR ST. SIMON
CALL TO GEORGIA TROOPS MEANS
THAT THERE WILL BE NO
OUTING THIS SUMMER.

Instead of enjoying an encampment
on st. Simons next month, as was the
program, it is expected that the Geor-
gla miltiamen will be doing duty
along the Mexican border.
When orders were issued yesterday
for the mobilization of the Georgia
troops. it was at once realized that
there would be no encampment of
the state troops, as had been planned
by the National Guard of Georgia, but
instead all of the troops of this state
are expected to be on duty many miles
away from Georgia territory
1t was decided some time ago to
have the state encamDment on st. Si-
mons this summer. and It was under
stood that probably all of the state
troops would visit the island, the first
regiment arriving about July %. to be
followed closely by all the other state
troops.

NAL and merchants are enthusiastic
over the amount of trade The first
evil effects Of the European war have
passed, Mr.. Iaym observed, and the
reaction has set in at rapid rate.
In the political arena, Mr.. Haym
said it looked like Wilson in a
whoop. Many Republicans have ex-
pressed their intention to vote for
Woodrow Wilson and the entire Dem
ocratic ticket The service rendered
by the administration has been fully
realized by the big business men Of
New York and they intend to see that
Wilson is given four more years in
which TO work more great IDEAS into
legislation for t.e good Of the coun.
try. Loud praise was heard on every
side of the federal reserve act which
performed such wonders in the recent
national emergency and forestalled a
great and disastrous panic which had
been started on its way.
Mr.. Haym was well pleased with the
convention at Washington where
scores Of the worlds greatest men met
and discussed measures to be taken
at the close Of the war for the future
security Of the country's peace. Among
the men who addressed the conven-
tion was President Wilson and Mr.
Haym was deeply impressed with the
chief executives words. as was the
entire assembly.

EX-GOV. MURPHY
OFF TOCH|CAGO
Will Confer With Chairman
Hills and Other Repub-
lican Leaders.

Former Governor Franklin Murphy
left today for Chicago for a consulta-
ton upon the present condition of the
Republican party. He will meet with
National Chairman Charles d. Hilles
and number of other leaders who
comprise the sub committee that is
making arrangements for the ma
tional convention.
Mr.. Murphy insisted before leaving
that no political significance would
be attached to the conferences. The
physical aspects of the convention
will be taken up only, he said. Per
haps therell be more 10 say when
RETURN" he admitted, however.
1t is believed that Mr.. IIilles will
report upon his recent observation
tour through the country. He con-
ferred with State leaders everywhere,
and especially looked into the avail
ability of different candidates. Coun-
ty Counsel Alfred N. Dalrymple was
called in as an authority upon New
Jersey and incidentally was thus rec
ognized by the national chairman as
the active leader in this State.
That reference will be made by the
Chicago conference to Mr.. Murphy s
candidacy for United States senator
is believed likely. Mr.. Murphy has
been power in the national councils
of the Republican party since early
in the Mckinley administration and
his friends include some of the most
noted characters in American history.
The frequent Endorsements Mr..
Murphy has been receiving in his
home county have created consider
able attention. The Ninth Ward
Republican Club, which went on
record in his favor in December, last
night gave even more practical assist
ance by subscribing to the petitions
to have his name printed upon the
ballots. The candidacy of Senator
Austen Colgate for governor was in
dorsed in a similar manner.
The club met at its headquarters,

Verdon gave bonds of 81 600 pending

Verdon and Wins, together with
William Reubel, president of the Dis

TO appear in court on a rule to show
cause why they should not be ad-
judged in contempt of court because
of story printed in the North Hud-

about an interview given by Verdon,
making serious allegations as to the
integrity of the administration of the
criminal laws in Hudson.
Swayze Against Trial by Newspapers.
Justice Swayze in passing sentence
asserted that the court did not intend
trial by jury supplanted by a trial by
newspapers as, he said was evidently
done jim this case. He said that the
article in question individually mani
tested contempt of court and was ap
parently intended for but one pur-
pose, that of terrorizrng the court and
prosecutor and to influence the con-
duet of jurors.
In sentencing WINS he said that he
was not blameless as the headlines
written by him concurred in the con-
tempt expressed in the article. JUS
tice Swayze said that had the story
been published subsequent to the in
