Five Negroes Are Hanged From
Limbs of One Tree in Georgia

Sylvester, Ga.-The death of five
negroes, whose bullet-riddled bodies
were found early Saturday morning
hanging from tree near Starkville,
Ga, was held in coroner's verdict to
have been due to "strangulation and
gunshot wounds at the hands of UNI
known parties" There was no indica-
tion that any further investigation
would be conducted.
The negroes, accused Of implication
in the killing of Sheriff Moreland at
Starkville, were taken from the Jail
here late Friday by a small party of
men who gained access to the cells
through well-planned ruse and
whisked the five prisoners away in
automobiles. They persuaded the
sheriff to open the Jail doors by asking
permission to place negro they
brought with them in a cell for safe
keeping.
The negro disappeared while the
sheriff was being overpowered and
efforts to locate him or learn his ident-
ity have been fruitless.

Socialist Representative Is Loyal
But Speaks Against Preparedness

Washington, d. C.-Every Socialist
in the United States would defend this
country if attacked by foreign foe,
Representative London, the only So
cialist in congress, told the house
Wednesday in an address against pre-
paredness.
The house shouted down attempts to
limit London's time and spurred him
on with question. His declaration
that the Socialists would fight was
greeted with thunderous applaues.
Representative O'Shaughnessy, of
Rhode Island, demanded of London
what would be the attitude Of the So
cialists in case the American flag was
attacked.
81 desire to say that if the people of
the United States were attacked every
Socialist would fight" London said.
"What is the distinction between
the flag and the people?" dozen Rep
resentatives Immediately asked, in as
many different ways, while London
smiled and fenced the question.
''The people throb with life." he
said, "while flag is an emblem only.
ANY lunatic from an insane asylum can
attack the flag and trample on it, but
it is vastly different thing for an at
tack to be made on the people"

CHmTs NON-RtSETAAG IS DENIED
Mother Who Would Keep Her Sons
From EnIisting Declared to Be
Disgrace to Nation"

The finger of shame was pointed
from the pupit Of the Portland Trinity
Episcopal church Sunday morning at
the mother whose love for her son
rises above that for her nation
This mothers and "peace at any
price" advocates were denounced as a
''disgrace to the nation" and an ap-
peal, based on the teachings Of Christ,
for proper national armaments, was
sent forth by DR.. A. A. Morrison, rec
tor of that church, in what was con-
sidered perhaps the strongest sermon
In defense Of preparedness ever deliv-
cred from any pulpit in Portland.
After the sermon members OF the
congregation rushed forward to con-
gratulate the pastor.
IL cannot understand these individ-
uals who cry even from the pulpits
peace at any price, he told them.
81 wonder what they would do, II
some one in the night should by force
steal away their wife and daughter.
Would they run after them with their
theory Of love? OF course not.
The teaching of Christ, he declared
in answer to those peace advocates
who base their theories on the Bible,
10 not against preparedness. And he
cited Christ's scourging Of the money
changers in the temple, his chastise-
ment Of the Scribes and Pharisees ard
his advice TO sacrifice ones life for Q
friend.
"a misapprehension exists, he de-
clared, lover the phrase called
Christian teaching There are those
advocating peace under any and all
circumstances who assert that Jesus
taught doctrine of non-resistance; a
doctrine which would utterly abrogate
the use Of force in education or as a
defense against evil-doers. Many per-
sons believe Christ advocated this, but
/ say he did no such thing"

FARMERS AND HOME-MAKERy
SHORT COURSE IN SESSION

Corvallis-Many parts of Oregon are
represented in the gathering of farm
ers and homemakers at the Agricultur-
al college for the annual short course
work which beagn last week. Un-
like the work of Farmers week the
short course work is carried on with
the regular college work, and it ex-
tends over a period Of four weeks.
Much of the work is given as class and
personal instruction through lectures,
demonstrations and laboratory exer-
cises. In many instances the training
is made personal matter, specialists
of the college staff directing the work
of individuals in their chosen courses.
Eight courses are offered in fields
and crops, eight in farming combined
with raising livestock and dairying,
eleven in creamery work and dairying,
five in garment making and house
keeping, five in food preparation, ten
in orcharding, and two in wood and
metal shop work.
In each of these selections can be
made and more or less optional work
taken, as in orcharding, where use can
be made of the special facilities
offered by the college in pruning or
spraying or other speciality. By COM
pleting the prescribed work in any Of
the foregoing courses, students may
receive a certificate setting forth the
work accomplished. Some of the
courses are progressive and require q
minimum of work in specified subjects
as an entrance requirement.
In addition to the work of the fore
going courses a series of lectures on
commercial and business subjects, on
poultry, history, economies, zoology,
chemistry, farm accounting, and high
way construction, will be given
the four weeks. For fur
ther information send for complete

Major Generals Bliss and Scott
Support Secretary Garrison.
UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE IS IDEAL
Advocates Organization Of Reserve
Corps Of Officers and 100000
Additional Trained Men.

Washington, d. C.-Unqualified sup
port was given Secretary Garrison's
army plan before the senate military
committee by Major General Scott and
Major General Bliss, respectively chief
and assistant chief of staff Of the
army. Both amplifed statements
made on the subject last week before
the house committee.
General Scott decarled the plan
would save at least FIVE months time
in building up an army of defense in q
war emergency. He advocated i'm
mediate organization of a reserve
corps of officers actually commissioned
and assigned to the posts they would
take in time Of war. General Scott
also urged that quartermaster's re-
serve corps of enlisted men be formed
to include mechanics of all kinds, tel
egraphers, radio operators, motor We
hicle drivers and experts, teamsters,
railway men and the like. A repre-
sentative of the American Legion, he
said, had told him recently that s15, 900
men Of this sort had been listed by the
organization who were willing to en-
list in such corps.
Both of the generals expressed the
opinion that universal military service
was the only ideal democratic" meth
cd of building an army, but thought
the country would not tolerate the pro-
posal now. General Bliss said it was
only talked of by army officers as an
academic question on this account.
Discussing the details of the various
bills under consideration, General Bliss
said that the measure proposed by the
War department was the. only one
which appeared satisfactory or which
seemed to contemplate definite pol
icy. The War college division of the
General Staff, he said, has fixed 500,-
900 men, more or less trained, as the
irreducible minimum necessary for the
country's safety in the first shock of
war.
The proposal to increase the regular
army to $50, 900 as suggested in Sem
ator Chamberlain's tentative bill, he
added, was wholly inadequate by it
self. Moreover, he added, it was inn
possible to recruit larger force than
lao, 900 men, as proposed by Secre-
tary Garrison for the regular army,
without increasing pay or otherwise
giving added inducement. He read a
report from the adjutant general de-
claring that it would be impossible to
recuit even 100000 men in peace
times and that the arevage maximum
force that could be maintained was
only 122, 900.
