Pacifsts Make
Forty Drafted Men
Miss Their Train
Williamsburg Band Pleads
With Recruits Not to
Go to War

The first attempt to interfere with
the mobilization Of National Army re-
cruits occurred yesterday morning in
Williamsburg. A dozen persons halted
forty selected men who were riding in
an automobile to the Carlton Avenue
yards station, and urged them not to
20 to war.
Police reserves were called, and the
aCitstors scattered. The drafted men
proceeded 10 the station. Sixteen hun
Gred and twelve men from this city left
for Camp Upton, but l04 men, who had
been ordered to report, failed to appear,
according to Roger B. Wood, director
of the draft in this city.
Officials connected with the admins
tration Of the draft law in New York
regarded the Brooklyn incident as in
significant. The police connected the
disturbance with the distribution two
days ago throughout Williamsburg of
anti-draft circulars, purpOrtlng TO have
been printed by the Underground
Press" The police yesterday gathered
up 200 of them, and are looking for the
persons responsible for them.
Women Try TO Halt Men
According to the men of Local Board
81, who were speeding to the point of
departure when they were halted at
briggs Avenue and Grand Street, sew
Cral women were in the party which
made the conscripts miss their train.
Don't go TO war" they said, and tried
20 drag the men from the cars. They
made no attempt TO use any force more
violent than moral suasion, and ran
away when they learned reserves from
the Bedford Avenue station had been
called.
Although pa men who received red
cards had failed to appear during the
last three days at the time set for de-
parture, Roger b. Wood declared last
night that the situation was in no way
alarming. Seventy-fve per cent of the
delinquents, he said, would soon be at
Yaphank, and many of them would have
satisfactory excuses. OF Wednes days
and Thursdays delinquents, Mr. Wood
said, forty-seVen had already been ar
rested.
Local Boards 81 and 53, in Brooklyn,
each had seven men missing yesterday.

Wednesday and Thursday. The men
who came to-day will not be examined

The official figures tonight showed
that 1,699 of the men who came in
on Wednesday were examined phvsi-
cally yesterday. OF this number only
thirty-seyen, or from Ito TO 22-l0
per cent, were recommended for physi-
cal discharges. The officers were elat-

than that made by the picked men Of
September 10, of whom trife more

for rejection on physical grounds.

Enemies Within
The Phobias, FANTASIES and Fierce Animal
versions of One Scott Nearing
copshsh,. 1917. b. The Tfibuno Association,

on the Liberty Loan than on any
other measure within the memory OF
the present generation. II was
business proposition and the business
crowd put it over.
"The Liberty Loan was signal
victory for the plutocracy, and an
equally signal defeat for the democ-
racy. II did more 10 bulwark the
position Of the plutocrstic despots
of the United States than IL will
ever do for the liberty of Europe.
"The Presidents speech on April
? and the war vote OF Congress on
April plunged the American people
into the war. The Liberty Loan
saddled the immediate payment for
the war upon millions OF unwilling
common people and yoked up the
next generation TO a war debt over
which they had no control. The war
madness was beginning to yield its
bitter fruit"
transcription" also has a chapter,
in the course OF which Nearing says:
"The conscription bill paved the
way for military system exactly
like that which had been so sayagcly
denounced in Germany. II gave the
American plutocracy the beginnings
of big, cheap army. IL disposed of
the uncertainties of volunteering and
provided the possibility Of military
education for every young American.
At the same time, the way was
opened for the imposition of uni
versal military service, which was
all that Prussia has ever demanded
in the balmiest days of her militar-
ism. Then, too, beginning was
made toward industrial conscription,
and the possibility was opened for
the importation of coole and peon
labor, things which were not even
thirkable in peace days. America,
after two months of war, had in
augurated what some one has called
the golden age Of the drill ser
geant,' and fastened upon the United
States the rudments of European
militarism in its most barharcus
aspects.
"The plutocrscy had scored another
victory, which was Immediately re-
corded in the climbing prices of
stocks and bonds--and ten million
young men were in the grip of
American militarism.
"The fruits of war-madness were
ripening. The plutocracy trembled
with joy. The people shrank back
surprised, terrified"

ance Of these two arms of the service
in modern warfare and the extension
Of these arms in expanding the Amerl-
can forces to an army Of more than
100000.
SCOTS Career Notable
General Scott. who is a native of
Kentucky. and who was graduated from
West Point in 1872, has had an un-
usual career. Much of his active ser
vice has been spent in the Indian coun-
try. but he also won fame in the Phil
ippine instruction, and several times
he has achieved remarkable results as
peacemaker In 1915 he negotiated
an agreement with the fighting factions
in Mexico which protected the Amerl-
can border town of Nogalcs from the
fall of shells and bullets. The arrange
ment was made with General Villa,
then a revolutionary leader, and Gen
eral Gales. Of the Carranza forces.
When the Piute Indians in Utah took
the war trail two years ago 10 protect
one Of their number from arrest, and
battles with posses had been fought,
General Scott journeyed through the
snow to the Indian mountain strong
and induced the accused chief TO return
with him and surrender. The only
promise the general made was that
there should be fair trial. The blood
less outcome of that incident was due
solely TO the trust the Indians reposed
in the bluff soldier.
Bliss Deep Student
General Bliss. the new chief, has
been d deep student of military his
tory and Of the old battles of every
country where the great game was
played with skill. He was appointed
TO West Point from Pennsylvania,
graduating in 1871. and was an honor
graduate of the Artillery School in the
class of "a. HIS first assignment TO
the General staff was in 1903, and he
is now serving his third appointment 10
that important body.
While the appointment OF General
Bliss as chief Of staff comes as ell
max to his military career under orGl-
nary circumstances, there Is little pos
sibility that he will retire from active
servic when he reaches the age limit
in December Like General Scott, 1t
is almost certain that if he is succeed
ed by a younger man as chief OF stan
he will 60 to an active field command

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.--Major
General Tasker II. Bliss was designated
to-day as Chief Of staff Of the Army,
succeeding Major General Hugh l..
Scott, who reaches the age Of retire
mcnt at noon tomorrow.
General Scott automatically will go
on the retired list, but will be retained
IN active service, Secretary Baker an
nounced. Gin connection with the train
ing Of troops" In some quarters, how
ever, it was stated General Scott prob
ably would command division at the
front. He has eagerly sought such
command. Possibly mis- services may
be found valuable as a connecting
link between the training camps IN
France and in the United States,
there having been some discussion
at the War Department Of the
advisability of providing for closer
coordination Of the training courses, so
that no courses will be repeated un-
necessarily after the troops reach
France.
In three months General Bliss will
retire. so that his occupancy of the
post OF chief Of staff will be temper
ary. The officer who will receive the
regular appointment as chief Of staff
customarily a four-year term, will
likely be appointed assistant chief of
staff for the interval until the retire
mcnt Of General Bliss in December.

Bricadier General E. II. Crowder,
who planned and executed the gigantic
draft. is slaJed for the vacant major
generalship caused by the passing of
General Scott 10 the retired list.
Two officers prominently mentioned
for the post Of assistant chief of staff,
which has been held by General Bliss,
are Major General Joseph +. Kuhn,
commanding the National Army divi-
sion al Camp Meade, Maryland, and
Major General Francis Treat, command
ing the Ohio National Guard division at

for the four-ycar term, holding that
with the country at war the President
should not experiment with untrled
men. but should place at the head Of
the war machinery an officer not only
recognized as one of the foremost mill
tary experts. but one who has had four
years experience in the Office of chief
Of staff.
Shake-Up Forecast
The retirement Of General Scott and
the early retirement Of General Bliss
forecast a general shake-up in the
General staff corps TO meet criticisms
that as at present constituted it is not
an effective war administrative body.
Il is assumed to be certain that
younger blood will be brought into the
places of command on the staff, officers
who not only have had recent service
with troops, but who are fully abreast
Of the new warfare which the United
States must conduct on the other side.
Changes in the staff structure are
planned, one change urged by many
officers as a necessity being that of
creating two new Offices in the staff,
chief of infantry and chief of artillery,

The October issue of Bull" which
was issued Yesterday, and which could
be obtained from newsdealers through
out the city, contains the same pro
German propaganda as the preceding
issue. which has been finally excluded
from the mails.
The leading article in "Bull"-as
usual-is signed by O'Leary himself,
and a photograph Of himself, tanEed
by American flags, appears with 1t. The
article is a drive for peace, the theme
of which is that Great Britain and
France inspired the Pope's note to the
belligerent powers pleading for peace.
Expression that Germany will defeat
the countries lighting her is made sew"
eral times in the course OF the article:
And there is gloating note sounded
whenever 0Leary makes mention OF
any German success.
And as in other issues there are sew
