such taxation as would have been
considered impossible before the war;
in addition they have had their own

And yet, without argument, without

Montgomery September 7.-(Special.) Beware of womenr' This is the warn- ing of Henry East, Lauderdale convict, who occupied a cage at the Wetumpka penitentiary Friday night after four unsuccessful efforts to escape from his prison sentence. He would be free now if a modern Delilah in the form of a close relative had not shown up.
 East jumped from Pullman car in Tennessee one night last, year while being brought from Michigan City to complete his long sentence here. He roamed the woods a while, then let his beard grow out and finally appeared before the public again with a Van- Dyke effect which was complete dis guise.
 East then went to Atlanta and be- came a driver of a taxicab Things went well until a man from Montgomery stopped his taxicab and got in. After carrying this man to his destination. East thought he suspected. So off went the yanDyke Trouble arose with his woman relative. and she told the of ficers he was a convict and was under d long sentence in Alabama.

HEFLIN AND CLAYTON ADDRESS SOLDIERS AT CAMP SHERIDAN
Congressman Says There Are Slackers in Congress Who Should Be Driven
 From Country

Montgomery, September 7.-(SpeciaI) Declaring that the curtain which has held America from the Kings since it was created would now permit the united nation to come forth in defense of prin- ciples of democracy, Congressman J. Tom Heflin of the Fifth Alabama district to- night delivered a rouslng appeal to the soldiers of Ohio and Alabama to present one front in defense of the principles for which the nation had entered the Euro- pean struggle.
 Congressman Heflin stood on an army truck at Camp Sheridan as he delivered his words and before him stood soldiers of every rank from major general to private in the rear.
 He asserted that Woodrow Wilson had been brought up by Providence to lead the American people in this crisis as Moses, Daniel and David had been reared and trained to lead Gods people from darkness into light. He predicted that the end of the war will come within IS months, but that America should prepare tc take part in the final blow which will mark the end of German autocracy.
 Slackers in public office and in private life were scored. There are few slaekers and German sympathizers in Congress and a few in private life, he declared, "but they do not represent the spirit of the American people They are the peryerts and renegades and all of those who are giving aid and com- fort to the German government ought to be driven out of the country or executed in it."
 He complimented the north and south alike for the loyalty which is being shown to the government and ended with the declaration that right and justice are on our side. Liberty and democracy are at stake God is with us and we are go- ing to win.''
 Congressman Heflin was presented by Judge Henry D. Clayton, who aroused ap- plause with his declaration that America and her allies are certain to be victori- ous. The united support of the people of the United States will go with the soldiers when they carry the Stars and Stripes into Europe and plant them in lnter der Linden,, he said The addresses were the first on a programme for en- tertainments for the Ohio division during the winter
