Universal Military Service.

New York, Feb. 24.-The opposition
TO universal obligatory military ser
vice in the United States, declared Da-
yid Jayne Hill, formerly American Am
bassador to Berlin, in an address today
to the national committee of the Amer
lean Defense Society, proceeds from
sheer ignorance of the facts and of
the law.
at is not true that universal Obliga-
tory military service is al Innovation y
said DR. Hill, because it Is distinctly
provided in the eighth section of the
first article of the federal constitu-
tion.
"Under the laws of 1903 and 1908,
now in force, all able-bodied male cit
izens between Is and 40 years are
declared to be members of the militia
and liable for service. They are divid-
ed into two classes: % The organ
lied militia known as the National
Guard, and (2) the reserve militia. En-
istment in the national guard is en-
tirely voluntary. All other male cit
liens of military age are in the reserve
and liable to be called at any time
for training or for service Those eli
'gible for military training at the pres
ent time number about 100000.
"Such a list of eligibles is in no
sense an army, especially in the mod
ern sense of the word. But it is good
and abundant material What it re-
quires to make it serviceable is train.
ing under federal direction
Speaking of persons who are op.
posed to preparedness, DR.. Hill said
"They try to seduce our young men
to the reasonable act of solemnly
pledging themselves never to take
part in any war even though it be in
the defense of our soil.
81 do not know what to say of such
people, except God have mercy on
their craven souls. The nation has nc
need of them, for they are not of it.
They are only parasites upon it,"

DIAMOND Thief
CAPTURED AFTER
EXCITING CHASE
Negro Who Got $500 in
Jewels from Lambert
Home Shot Twice.

Carrying in his right leg two bull
let's from the pistol of Policeman John
King, Jr., and running into the arms
of Deputy Constable Jim Reidinger,
who was waiting for him, late last
night, Archie jackson, negro, aged
about 80 years, is prisoner at the
county Jail, awaiting trial of charge
of grand larceny.
Diamonds and other jewelry valued
at between 5000 and $500, stolen last
Monday from the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. A. Lambert, PIG West Fifth
avenue, was recovered from the negro
and from the home of his dusky sweet
heart, by the officers. after Jackson
was under arrest. The negro made
a full confession of the affair, after
his bulletwounds had been treated by
DR.. W. H. Blankenship. county ply
sician, told how he robbed the Lam
bert home, and informed the officers
where the remainder of the stolen
jewelry could be found.
Worked in Daylight.
Jackson entered the Lambert home
last Monday afternoon, while Mrs.
Lambert was in the rear yard, and
went about his work coolly and appar-
emily without fear of discovery. A
lavelier, a watch, a breach, several
rings and smaller articles, nearly all
set in diamonds, were taken by him.
Then he made his getaway, and the
robbery was not discovered until later
in the evening.
The officers had no clue to start on,
until the negro visited local jewelry
store, and attempted to sell diamond
ring. The negro got away on that oc-
casion, but from this slender begin
ming, the officers finally decided their
man was Archie Jackson, and they
started a search for him. The city
police and Constable Gin Green's de-
partment co-operated in the search.
Last night, city police went to the
home of Jackson's sweetheart. Jack
son saw them coming, and ran. Sew
eral shots followed him. He hid in
some brush, but more shots chased
him out. Two of these struck him, one
in the right hip and the other in the
calf of the right leg Jackson start
ed for the home of his father in Cher
ry street. Deputy Constable Jim Reid
niger was waiting for him there, and
Just like deer hunt, Jackson ran into
his custody.
Clever Detective Work.
The arrest of the negro and the re-
covery Of the stolen property is con-
sidered clever piece of detective
work, and the manner in which the
case was handled again demonstrates
the results obtained through the
hearty cooperation of the several po-
lice departments, of the city, the town.
ship and the county.
Chief of Police Frank Stewart said
last night that Jackson has just been
out of the jefferson City, Mo-, peni-
tertiary about two months, after serv-
ing term for burglary, and that he
has already served term in the Ar

HUGHES POINTS
To ARKANSAS R.
in FARGO TALK
Republican Nominee Be
lieves Federal Aid for
Stream Wasteful.

Fargo, North Oak, Aug. 10.-Chas.
q. Hughes, speaking here tonight, as
sailed the administration for inef-
ficiency, waste and extravaganza, par
ticularly with reference to the river
and harbor bill, recently passed by
congress.
~ think l may say without rash
ness" Mr.. Hughes told his audience,
"that the government of the United
States is recklesly wasteful, painfully,
giant, reproach to the intelligence of
the people, because of it's inefficiency.
The rivers and sarbors, known to the
people as the pork bill, is largely
money wasted, as there is no expert
examination to determine what eX-
penditures are needed. This year, Just
the other day, congress passed rivers
and harbors bill of some forty-two
million dollars. l confess l don't
know why such measure should re-
ceive approval"
REWRITING to the rivers and harbors
bill Of 1916, Mr.. Hughes said: "Take
the Arkansas river. That is an illus
| tration, as l understand, of case
where there had been an expert report
against the appropriation. The ex-
pert report was, as l understand it,
to the effect that $4,000 should be
the appropriation. Two hundred
thousand dollars and over were ap-
propriated, right in the teeth of the
report on the examination of the pro-
ject."
Judge Hughes speaks at Billings,
Mont. tomorrow night.

Little Rock, Aug. 10.-The Ameri-

Nearly 700 men struck several
weeks ago. Intellectual attempts
have since been made to adjust the

Deciding that no agreement could
be reached, the company issued a
notice that all former employees of the
company who desired to return to

strike would be accepted. When the
hour for resuming work came about
300 of the old employees reported for
duty. Of the remaining number, less
than hundred, some are farmers
from the vicinity, and others are from
Alabama and elsewhere.
There were about 500 members of
