 men and a Man.

St. Jchnsbury, Vt., Aug. 1O.--An ln- timation that little Alice Bradshaw, whose body was found was in swamp mile from her home last night, may have been starved before she was killed was given by Attorney General Barber tonight.
 He declined to make known the re- suit of an autopsy performed today, but he hinted that there were indica- tions that food and water had been withheld from the S-year-old girl who was cripple because of infant1le par alysis.
 Parts of the body were sent to Burlington for further investigation. It was also understood that county officials who have been Investigating the case since July 5, suspect the body had been buried and later ex- humed and carried to the spot where it was found by farmer.
 It was pointed out that the swamp where the body was found had been searched carefully and that as no ef- fort at concealment had been made discovery would have been inevitable As result of the recovery of the body charges of first degree murder have been lodged against Miss Emma May Hicks and Mrs. Alvin Kenniston and John Kerwin, all of whom have been under detention without formal charges.
 Miss Hicks, house keeper for the girls father, and Mrs. Kenniston, a neighbor, made an alleged confession on July 6, that they had killed the child because she was bother Kerwin is d farm hand and was ar rested a few days later.

N. '. BOARD
 FIRED AND WILL
 BE PROSECUTED
Order Says Because of Irregularities Reported
 to Have Occurred.

New York, Aug. 10.-The three members of the local exemption board No. go, in the heart of the East Side, were summarily removed tonight by under orders of Adjutant General Stotesbury, who is in charge of the operation of the draft machinery in this state. The records of the board were placed in charge of the police.
 Members of the board are Louis Cherry. Dr. Henry M Croehl, and Dr. S. J. Bernfield. The formal order for their removal announced that the dras- tie steps had been decided upon by the president "because of the lrregu- ]arities reported to have occurred"
 The charges have been under inves- tipation for several days by agents of the department of justice. There have been reports of attempts to brlpe members of boards to grant regis trants exemption. The orders dlrect- ed that charges now made be prosecut- ed to the fullest extent.
 When Mr. Conklin, with two police men and an aide from the guard at the state arsenal, arrived at the boards quarters, the doors were locked and no one could be found who had key. Mir. Conklin then went to the homes of the members and was informed they had gone off together in an auto;
 MT. Conklin said the charges had come to him some days ago in an anon ymous letter alleging exemptions were being bought, the letters being turned over to the department of justice: .,,
 All cases handled by the board will be reopened by the new board; Six hundred and sixty-six men had been examined, 235 exempted and 176 waiv- ed exemption.

WILL CELEBRATE:
 NEWS DEPARTURE
 FOR CANJONMENTS
Indications are General Holiday Will Be Observed
 on September Third.

Washington, Aug. 10.-A national holiday will be declared on September 8 in celebration of the entrainment of the draft levies for the training can tonments. No step to this end has been made as yet, but officials at the provost marshal generals office re- gard it as agreeable.
 Conferences were in progress to- day with railway officials on details of the mobilization. Transportation lines face the task of collecting the first 230,OO0 men from 4,750 districts providing them with sleeping car ac- commodations where necessary and providing stops at points where the soldiers can be fed well and quickly.
 Wholesale applications for dischar- ges indicate, Provost Marshal General Crowder said today, that unfair ad- vantage is being taken of the reguia- tions designed to protect men who properly should be exempted from mll- itary service. Existing conditions, he intimated, are a positive menace to the raising of the national army.
 Regulations detailing the proceed ure in assembling the soldiers of the selective draft army were being for warded to the exemption boards to- day. Every stage of the draft is out lined from the initial call for service to the entrance of the men to the cantonments where their tralnlng period will begin.
 Change In Commanders.
 Army department commanders, by war department orders issued today, are relieved of the national army can comments and national guard camps within their departments and Will de- vote themselves entirely to the regular troops within their jurisdictions.
 The effect of this order, unless there are changes in the high commands, will be to keep some of the best known American commanders, such as MaJof General Wood, Major General J. Franklin Bell and others in depart. ment commands. at home, instead o1 sending them with the armies to Flu rope. ,oo
 There are to be more than 200 new generals appointed within the next few days. It is of course possible Ahat some of these or others might pc Assigned to the regular departments to perimt sending the high line offi- cers with the fighting army.
 Additional commissions awarded tc Fort Benjamin Harrison candidates and announced today included William c. Coleman. Athens, Tex, second lieu tenant.
 Among the thousands of commits sions awarded at Plattsburg, N. '. camp and announced today were thos' of John s. Bradford, Jr, of Houston Tex, second lieutenant, and Robert l. Nixon, Jr., Marianna, Ark, second lieu tenant.

Black Papev.

It is not always easy to get hold of good sample of black paper for mak. ing masEs--a paper, that Is, which is absolutely opaque and free from pin holes. The black paper that Is used on roll film cartridges is particularly suit able for the purpose. If the photogra- pher Is plate and not film user, it Is still likely that he will know some one who does use films-or that his dealer develops then; - and either should be willing io give him a nand. ful of what otherwise would be regard. ed as rubbish. When obtained 1t should be cut to size and put away flat. under pressure until 1t is wanted for use.

OUR MOST EFFECTIVE
ARGUMENT

n T is noticeable that certain
newspapers that clamored
for drastic action when
President Wilson was striving
by diplomacy to show the Ger
mans their mistake on the sub
marine issue now give the
president little credit for ef-
fective and really monumental
work that has been done since
we entered the war and instead
they seem to think that Roose-
welt should be sent over not SO
much to fight as to make state
ments and speeches. In other
words those who wanted force
used when arguments were in
order now ask for propaganda
when the time is ripe for fight
ing. Nothing could be more
inconsistent. The sort of pro-
paganda that will impress the
'Teuton mind at present con-
sists in the compulsory regis
tration of some 100000 able
bodied Americans for military
duty and the raising of seven
Eillion dollars for war purpos-
es. This they are getting from
Uncle Sam under the Wilson
leadership. Don't minimize
the value of such work merely
because the president may be
of different political faith
from your own. This is a time
for Americanism, not partisan
ship.

INFLUENCE
GERMANY

Nv r Z S l ID ENT WILSON'S
80 notes to Germany on the
LasItania sinking and
other features of the submarine
campaign gave wonderful i'm
Des1lS TO a sentiment in Ger

become a potent factor in the
settlement of the war on bas-

ism and democracy.
Facts indicating as much are
presented in a highly interest
ing story regarding the New
=OrientAtiCn in this weeks issue

by Carl W. Ackerman, former

son note writing policy appears
wonderfully different to this
man who was in Berlin at the
time and could note the effects
at the other end. While no fur
ther vindication of the Wilson
policy is needed now one fea-
'ture developed by Mr.. Acker-
man is of vital interest mas
much as it bears on what may
come in the future. The Ger
man people now know, he says,
that they may have peace when
they learn to think for them>
selves, rather than let the kali
ser do their thinking for them.
: How long will it be with star
vation at home, reverses on
land and a ruthless submarine
campaign that makes new and
powerful enemies yet cannot
accomplish the promised star
vation of England, before the
mind of the common Teuton
will see the light? If a Ger
man revolution does not devel-
op will there not at least arise
a political sentiment that will
drive the war party from the
saddle and force the kaiser to
abdicate or make a peace on
-erms dictated from Washing
.on, London, Paris and Rome?
