USE ARMS TO RESIST DRAFT
Attack on Officers-Gun Used
BY Former BIuejacket.

Manitowoc - Nicholas Voss and
Emil Helm, the first citizen of Wis
consin to resist the army draft with
force of arms, were taken to Green
Bay to be arraigned before a United
States court commissioner.
Voss is charged with attempted
murder and armed resistance of the
CONSUMPTION law. Helm is charged
with aiding and abetting Voss in the
alleged commission of the crimes
stated.
Foss is a graduate of the United
States navy, from which he secured
an honorable discharge in December,
1913.
Helm is the son of a Lutheran min
lister who heads a congregation at
Ada
Both have lived recently in strong
ly pro-German settlements and, &C
cor6ing 10 officials connected with the
arrests, have been indulging in dis
loyal talk against the draft, against
the war and against the allies of the
United States. Voss is credited with
having said few days ago that he
would like to see any blank blank
federal officer place him where he
would be compelled to fight against
Germany"
The case has many features that
indicate what the poison of pro-
German propaganda is doing, and what
it is likely to result in unless curbed.
Contempt for the law of the land and
the government were brutally paraded
and backed up by an assault.
Both of the accused are German.
Helms, who supplied the weapon used
in the assault, is a farm hand.

MEETING is BARRED
HUDSON CITIZENS ARE AGAINST
PEACE CONFERENCE.
City Officials Prevail on Crowd to Let
Pacifists Get Out of Town
Unmolested.

misunderstanding Lochner of the
Peoples Peace council, Publicity
Agent Williams, Charles Kruse of the
New York Brotherhood Welfare asso-
citation; Miss Florence Margolies of
New York, president of the Workers
council; her woman secretary and a
woman stenographer from the head
quarters of the National PEOPLES
council, were run out of Hudson by a
mob, estimated to number 1000. They
were not harmed, owing to an impas-
stoned appeal from County Attorney
n. 0. Varnum, who urged the mob to
let them go quietly and not commit
violence.
The action of the crowd was pre-
coded by public massmeeting held in
front of the armory at which speeches
were made by Maj. Sam Campbell, a
veteran of the civil war; Mayor Con-
dit, and others, and at which resolu-
lions were adopted protesting against
the peace conference.
Previous to the massmeeting the
city council held a special meeting
and adopted resolution forbidding
the peace council to hold any meet
ings or convention in the city.
Any attempt by the Peoples Coun-
Gil of America for Democracy to hold
its projected convention in Milwaukee
or any other city in Wisconsin was
given its quietus when Gov. Philip
sent telegram to Sheriff McManus
requesting him to notify any persons
who are planning to arrange for the
meeting that lie did not wish it to take
place in this state.
The governors message to the sher-
if follows:
Il understand that an effort will be
made to hold meeting of the Peace
Council in Milwaukee. This meeting
can not be held without endangering
the peace and good order of the city,
and l ask you therefore to notify the
party, which l understand will arrive
by train, that do not wish the meet
ing to take place. Call me by tele-
phone for instructions"
Gov. Philips instructions to Sheriff
McManus came after a day during
which the states executive had close
ly followed the actions of the peace
council leaders in their attempts to
find city in which they might hold
their meeting.

ALLIES BACK NOTE
LORD CECIL ASSERTS ENTENTE
CANNOT IMPROVE ON WILL
SONS REPLY TO POPE.
SAYS BRITAIN IS THRILLED
Minister of Blockade lntimates That
No Further Answer Will Be Made
to Pontiff's Peace Pro-
posals.

London, Sept. 3.-Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of blockade, on Friday in
dorsed President Wilson's reply to the
peace proposals of Pope Benedict and
said he was not certain any further
response would be necessary.
"The presidents note is very mag
nificent occurrence" said the minister
in his weekly interview. 'It thrilled
us all over here, and the opinions
which I heard expressed by represent
atives of all allied countries were
equally warm and appreciative. l am
certain that none of the allies would
be able to improve upon it, and l am
not certain that any further reply will
be necessary.
There does not appear to me to be
anything inconsistent as between the
presidents note and the economic
policy of the allies as declared at the
Paris conference. The resolutions of
the allies were purely defensive meas
ures, and in no way aggressive"
(This is the first official expression
of opinion on President Wilson's note
by any of the allies.)
Washington, Sept. 3. -Secretary Of
State Lansing made public the sub
stance of a message from Ambassador
Page at London, to the effect that
President Wilson's reply to the pope
had been received by the whole Brit
ish public with greater enthusiasm
than any previous declaration by the
president since his address to congress
and the declaration of war.

NO FARMERS EXEMPT
PROPOSAL MADE BY KANSAN RE-
FUSED HY THE PRESIDENT.
Wilson Says Glass Exemption Would
Lead to Many Difficulties and 10
Many Heartburnings.

Washington, Sept. LIN disap-
proving a proposal by Representative
Shouse of Kansas that all men en-
gagged in agricultural pursuit last
March be exempted from military ser
vice, President Wilson wrote the con-
gresham that class exemption would
lead to many difficulties and many
heartburnings."
Representative Shouse responded to
the presidents letter with the declara-
ton that much Of the Kansas wheat
crop would not be in on october and
that the labor situation in that state
was critical.
The latest order, which was issued
by the war department on Thursday,
amplifies the instruction announced
last week. 1t says:
"The object of calling 5 per cent is
to place in the camps enough men to
form a skeleton organization to assist
In receiving and assimilating the large
cOntingents. For this reason it is re-
quired that local boards send only
white men, and, so far as practicable,
that they send men with some military
experience, or cooks.
'Tn making this selection order
numbers are not controlling, but great
care must be taken not to send men
whose order of call is so late that they
will not be within the quota of the
boards. The careful selection of these
men will be of great assistance to the
orderly organization of the National
army, and it is hoped that local boards
Will act with this end In view.
In order that it may not be neces-
sary to make any special railway ar
rangements and to prevent a conges-
ton OF normal railway traffic, local
boards should be instructed to send
approximately L per cent of their
quotas on each of five consecutive
days, beginning September 5.
Since no special traffic arrange
ments are necessary, the adjutant gen.
eral of the state may leave to the local
boards the routing of their men, re-
quiring such boards to send the small
daily groups by the shortest usually
Travelled route to the mobilization
camps.
practically all that will be ordinar-
lily necessary is for the local boards to
select their men, call them to military
duty, provide for their subsistence and
lodging and transportation and dis
patch them by the shortest practicable
route to the mobilization camp"

BADGERS PLEASED
WITH WACO CAMP.
GEN. BoARDMAN WRITES THAT
GUARD cANToNMENT IN
SOUTH is IDEAL.
MEN ON GROUNDS SATISFIED
Everything Ready to Move Soldiers
But Date of Departure is Un.
certain--Gen. Parker Awaits
Arrival of Troops.

Camp Douglas = Gen. Charles R
Boardman has written Mai. Charles
Green that the Waco cantonment
where Wisconsin and Michigan troops
will train, is az ideal camp. Gen.
Boardman writes also that Mai. Gen.
James Parker, commander of the di-
vision, is eager for the arrival of the
Badger state troops so that they can
be organized and get down to real
work.
The camp is on level and fairly high
ground, he says. Buildings are de-
scribed as large and well ventilated,
telephone facilities excellent and
street car service convenient. The big
cantonment is electric lighted and is
modern in every way.
The weather will continue pleas
ant, with the evenings cool, for an
other six weeks, he understands, but
after that the weather will be uncer-
tain.
In his letter Gen. Boardman gives
Maj. Green a pen sketch of the camp.
Mail from the soldiers in Waco to the
guardsmen here speak enthusiastically
CT the new quarters in the south and
of the hospitality of Texas people The
men write that they were received in
a most friendly way and that Waco is
entertaining them royalty.
While everything is done to make
life pleasant here, the soldiers are
anxious to be on the move They re-
alize, however, that training in Waco
will be more strenuous than it has
been in Wisconsin. There will be add
ed hours of work, but the soldiers
are keen to tackle the job because
they know the program will include
lessons in modern warfare. Little ad-
vanced warfare has been taken up
here, and the soldiers feel they know
all there is to know concerning the
first lessons in soldering. They want
to try their hand at something big
ger.
So far as troop movements are con-
cerned Camp Douglas is at a stand
still. The camp resembles a house
hold all packed up and waiting for the
moving van, but the van does not seem
to come. 1t is believed, however, that
the first week in September will mark
the departure of some units and 9th
ers will follow in few days.
