ECHO OF PAST IS HEARD BY
 DOUGLASITES
Famous Won Arx Case Is to Come Before
 Appellate Court
 in November.
ALLEGES CONSISTENCY.

DOUGLAS. Sept. 19. - An echo from the past-sort of a Hark-from -the-Tomb-reyerberation-- was noted in the council chamber here last night when Marshal William Shafer appeared before the body just as Che meeting was about to adjourn and displayed a letter informing him that what is known as the Won Arx case will be called in the Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Noyem. Der 1st.
 The von Arx matter has been "on tap" since sometime in theyear 1914. It started when Marshal Shafer not as city marshal but as an assist ant to the deputy United States marshal. effected the dfrest of Von Arx at hls hcme on the beach in this place. On the way to che lock up the man assaulted the officer and the latter subdued him and, when later taken before Police Magis- tratc John Henson on the charge of resisting an officer. a fine of $50 was imposed.
 von Arx appealed the case to the Territorial court and. when it was brought to trial before Judge Jen- nings. the court instructed the jury to return @ verdict against Won Arx. which was done.
 Von Arx based his appeal from the Magistrates court on the claim that conspiracy existed between the mar shal and the magistrate. When the case went against Von Arx in the Territorial court he gave notice, through his attorney. J. H. Cobb that he would appeal to the higher court. and the notification to Marshal Shafer lately received shows that he meant what he said. Attorney z. R. Cheney represented Shafer in the pre- sious hearing Of the city and will probably be continued as its repre- sentative at the approaching hearing in the Court of Appeals
 The seats of Councilmen Gurr and Stubbins were empty at last nights meeting when but little business was transacted. Current bills that amounted to $573 were paid and an incidental fund of s1.OOO was voted to the school board.
 With something like 400 feet of water main expected on an early steamer is laid, the list of public i'm provements for the year will be com pleted. The present council has spent considerable money but there is something to show for every dol lar expended.

of his reelection. The work will be confined to the doubtful states where the colored vote is an import ant factor and is sufficient to con stltute the balance of power.
 Mir. Wilson had a strong following among the colored voters in 1912, led by Bishop Alexander Walters, Of the A. NJ. E. Zion church, New York city who has for years com manded the largest following of any colored man of Independent thought and action are: Editor of the Cris- is. w. E. B. DuBoi4. New York; James H. Manning, Indianapolis. Ind, former editor of the A. M. E. Quarterly Review; Rev. R. C. Ran som, New York; Editor William M Trotter of Boston. All of these men will support Wilson.
 In Tennessee, R. R. Church, color. ed. who was a delegate to thS Chi cago Republican convention from the state at large, has rebelled against the Republican organization and put Q whole colored ticket in the field to be voted for in November. This spells any chance of the Republicans in Tennessee.

NAR INTERESTING
 TO THE JEWS
Intervention into War of Rumanian Changes the
 Allegiance of
 Thousands.
TO BETTER CONDITIONS

LONDON. Sept. 19.-The Jewish Chronicle welcomes the entry of Ru- mania into the war on the ground that 1t completes the circle of Jew lsh questions which have troubled tha world and which must now come up for settlement Russia, Rumania and Palenstine, all three with capital problems of Jewry will now be before the nations and if a settlement at all there be, must be somewhat comprehensive"
 The Chronicle declares for the special enlightenment of certain Jew ish journals in America" that its views are not dictated exclusively by loyalty to the British, but "by what we conceive to be the interests of the Jewish people in this world upheayal," adding;
 We do not, as Jews, close our eyes Co the serious question which Rumanian intervention opens out for us any more than we have all along to the place which Russia has occu- pied as one of the nations allied with Britain. It is pretty certain that the price of her intervention will prove to be the incorporation in Rumania of the provinces of Pennsylvania and Bukowina. This means not only the addition of scores Of thousands Of Jews to the population who will be subject to the Rumanlan laws. but or Jews who have been settled for centuries in their present homes-in the case of Pennsylvania, since the Roman period.
 But we can not and do not be- lleve the situation of these people will deterlorate as a result Of the war of liberation undertaken in con- junction with the western champions of the freedom of minorIties. And, given the preservation of the rights of any new Jewish subjects of King Ferdinand, it is hard to see how the wrongs of his present subjects can be maintained. From a broad point of view, therefore, it may be well for the Jews that Rumania has joined the war"

 WEARY OF WAR
Recruiting Is Now at a StandstiIl and Pledge
 for Half Million of
 Men Is Not Met.
ARpOR IS DAMPEMED

WASHINGTON, Sept 15 - Word comes from various places in Can ada that the people of that coun- try arr growing weary of the great war. and that 1t Is increasingly diff flcult there to secure enlistments. Not nearly as many men are enlist ist as are being killed, wounded, and taken prisoners in the fierce fighting of the Canadian troops on the west front, and young men in the Dominion, realizing that the chances are rather against their coming out Of the conflict unsettled, are hesltating about joining the col ors.
 Early in the present year the Canadian premier Sir Robert Bor- den, pledged a contribution of half a million men to the British army but 1t begins to appear that 1t will be exceedingly difficult, perhaps quite out of the question, to make the pledge good. The total enroll. ment of recruits, it is said, has been 354.42S. In July, only S,552 enlisted in the whole Dominion. In the same month considerably more than S.552 men were killed, wound ed and taken prisoners. somewhere in France"
 Recruiting at standstll
 Recruiting throughout Canada in consequence or the conditions just referred to, is practically at a stand- still. as the Toronto Globe sorrow fully admits, saying in that connee- ton:
 "so it is not only Austria and Germany that can no longer make good the wastage of their forces. Canada has also reached that stage. and recruiting all over the country is almost at a standstill.'
 The leading newspapers of the Dominion have been trying to find out the reason for the cessation of enlistments. There is a tendency to agree that first in importance is the terrible slaughter in the British of- fensiye. Several Canadian regiments it Is pointed out. have been almost entirely wiped out This has damp, ened the ardor of those young men who otherwise might enlist in a spir- 1t of adventure.
 Then there is the growing feeling that Canada has already furnished more than her fair share of men to fight England's battles, and this feel ing. has been strengthened by let ters from Canadian recruits in Eng land. who tell of thousands of young Englishmen at the music halls and cricket games.
