NORMAN ANGEL GETS
LONG PRISON SENTENCE

Word has been received here that Ralph
Norman Angel Lane. an English writer
known by the pen name of Norman An
geIl. has been sentenced in England to
eighteen months hard labor after having
heen under arrest for months for having
declined to take part in the war. Accord
ing to the report. Angel made the plea
that he had conscientious objections to
war service. This was overruled by the
court.
Mr.. Angel was identified with the in
ternatiOnal peace movement and is well
known as the author OF The Great Illu-
sion" which sought to demonstrate scIen-
rifCally the futility Of war. He spent his
youth IN the United States and has visit
ID here many times since, having been in
New York six weeks last winter
During his recent visit he delivered sew
eraI lectures on information affairs in
which he condemned the preparedness
agitation Of the United States and pre-
dIcted war with Japan unless the inter-
national policy Of the United States was
r"fOTmcd.

ORDWAY UNITS
Total of Ten Men Enlist Dur
ing Day-Colored Battalion
Gets Four More.

Every unit at Camp Ordway re-
ceived recruits yesterday when ten
men were enlisted. Battery got
three men. and the First Separate Bat
talon Detachment received four. The
Third Infantry enlisted only two men.
This is the best record for a days
recruiting since the orders holding the
militia in mobilization camps until the
settlement of the railroad strike
trouble was issued.
The slack in the Third Infantry re-
cruiting is due to the withdrawal of
the bonus Of 81 a man that has been
offered by the officers. As the regi-
ment is over minimum strength, the
bonus was withdrawn Saturday night.
The men enlisting were: Troop A,
Frank R. SelIeck; Third Infantry, Gar

-HERE is Just one real issue IN this national cam
paiqn Millions Of words have been spoken and
written in the effort obscure It, but It comes
to the fore and election day approaches
It Is the issue on which Americans must finally decide
the election Here It IS:
Shall the United States stand with Hughes for what
has been proved good and right practice; for what
has come be regarded established national and
international policy through the consent of the ma
iority during century of national growth; for safe
progressivsm grounded the lessons of experience?
Or
Shall the United States under Wilson's lead abandon
entirely the position used hold before the world
depart from well established policies and presidents to
defy the careful reasoning and expressed VIII OF those
of all political faiths who have made America what II
Is; and continue TO follow reckless theory, impusive
and immoral expedency, and hazy hypOcrtcal dreams
Of world service" a substitute for strong, WISE
practical development toward high national destiny in
behalf Of the American people?
To state the issue in another way:
Which Is the better?-
To hold with Hughes that the duty of cur govern
ment primarily duty to the people of the United
States, only secondarily duty TO others?
To hold with Wilson that the duty of govern
ment Of all the people of the United States
and primarily TO foreigners to the exclusion and at
the expense of nationals?
What Is needed Is a complete change Of spirit, Of
method and Of aim; to which, there must be
change Of men. The problem SINNERS down TO this:
Are we TO have administration (chlef executive
cabinet, congress and representatives abroad $50
equipped as to command the respect Of the world, or
are to continue be the butt OF Just criticism and
the meek victim Of mischief makers at home and
abroad?
