invited guests heard the inside"
account of Balkan campaigns and
diplomacy from Gordon Gordon
Smith. noted war correspondent,
and member of the Serbian general
staff. who was an eye witness of
the Huns invasion of King Peters
country. Failure TO send help at the
critical time to Serbia. on the part
of the allies, who, instead relied on
the aid of Bulgaria and were duped,
the noted writer characterized as
the biggest blunder of the allies
since the beginning of the world
conflict.
Starting with a review OF German
] intrigue in the Balkans in prepara-
tion for the war. the speaker show
ed that Austria's message to Serbia
following Arch Duke Ferdinand's
assassination, was an Insulting

Saloniki two months behind time for
aid in stemming Mackensen's in

Venizelos, idol of the Greek nation,
when interviewed by the speaker on
the peculiar policy OF the big allied
nations of asking help from Bulgaria

This recipe for promotion drifts

Howard remarked. you can get away

Capt. kalberer lined UP the stu

school for a heart-to-heart talk. He
wound up by saying he wished every
! lazy man in the line would take
a step forward when he gave the
| command.
Ready now. all men who know they
are lazy. step forward" the cap
tain ordered. The entire line with
one exception moved forward. The
exception was Coulter Shepard, of
| Delaware. Capt Ealberer turned to
him and asked him why he did not
/ step forward with the rest and con-
| fess the truth.
why didn't you step forward, Shep-

I'm too lazy" Shepard replied. and
he was forthwith made a corporal.
All the machine-gun company is
anxiously awaiting the arrival of the

After spending two nights on the

OFFICIALS PLEASED
BYI. W.INDICTMENT
Department of Justice Men Expect
Further Action Soon.

Department of Justice officials last
night expressed qualification at the
prompt action Of the Chicago grand
jury, which returned indictments
AGAINST William d. Haywood and
thirty-five other members of the l. W.
W. and expressed the belief that
similar indictments might be expect
ed at any time in a number of other
States.
In all cases against the 7. w. w.
the Department of Justice has pro-
cured the evidence. and left il to the
local or State authorities to prose
cute. All of the men. it is expect
ed. will be prosecuted under the GRIM
inal section of the espionage act. and
it is believed that sufficient evidence
has been obtained to break forever
the power of the organiZa ton in this
country.
The government has moved slowly
in the !. w. w. cases: so slowly, in
fact, that much criticism has been
directed against the Department of
Justice in Congress for failure to
stamp out the organization. While
no replies were made by Attorney
General Gregory or others at the time,
it is stated now that the only rea-
son the government moved so slowly
was desire to strike a body blow
at the organization. To do this II
was necessary to collect evidence in
score of States against hundreds OF
men involved.
Most of the evidence was complet-
ed. it is declared. when the Federal
agents sorted out the papers seized
IN recent raids in Chicago, Seattle
Tacoma. San Francisco. Los Angeles,
Butte, Mont. and cities in Arizona
and other States. The raids were
made simultaneously, and agents OF
the department believe very few, il
any, of the leaders in the I. w. W.
movement to create industrial discon-
tent escaped the government net.
