Pickets in Jail Hospital
Go on a Hunger Strike
Miss Alice Paul and Miss Rose Winslow Begin
Fight to Be Restored to Compan-
ions in Cell. -

IF we are to be starved prefer to
starve at once. There is no use Civ
ing US special food today and not to-
morrow, simply to keep US alive as
long as possible"
With this burning declaration Miss
Alice Paul, chairman of the National
woman's Party, sentenced to seven
months for picketing the White House.
and Miss Rose Winslow, of New York,
both of whom are in the Jail hospital,
have begun a hunger strike. Miss
Paul demands also to be taken back
to the Jail to her companions, from
whom she was removed against her
will Monday night.
Both Miss Paurs physician, DR.. Cora
Smith King, and DIR. Cannon, Jail
physician. are of the opinion that
should Miss Paul rejoin her associates
in her present condition serious con-
sequences would result. Since she has
been placed in Jail Miss Paul has been
steadily losing weight.
Through DIR. King, Miss Paul sent
the following message to her CO.
workers yesterday afternoon:
"An that / ask is that I and my
companions be given the privileges
that are granted the seventeen muir
derers held in Jail with us; they
are allowed to buy food and have
exercise and the daily papers"
DIR. Cannon refused to send Miss
Paul back to Jail. Declaring she is
too i'll to leave the hospital. Miss
Paurs reply is that the causes of
her illness are conditions which he
could remedy-no air, no exercise.
and bad food.
The other suffrage prisoners in the
Jail are Miss Kate Heffelfinger, of
Shamokin, Pa: Miss Gertrude Crock
er, Hinsdale. ILL.,; Miss Maude Jami-
son, Norfolk; Miss Gladys Griener,
Baltimore, and Miss Lille Hennessey,
Hartford.

Next Tuesday, June 9TH, will be the
time for all men between q and 81 to
register. 1t will be Conscription day,
which means write your name together
and be subject to the call of your country
to defend the principles-not a monarch,
king nor feudal lords will-upon which
it was formulated, and to be defended.
1t does not necessarily mean that you
will be called on to carry a gun and shoot,
but be called to fill the position for which
you are physically and mentally fit.
1t has been always understood as law
that all men between Is and 40 were Ii
able for military duty, but to meet the
present crisis only those between 81 and
81 are called. From colonial days until
the Civil War there were militia drills
in every county and in most townships.
Salem, Alloway, Pittsgrove and Upper
Penns Neck at Biddle's Tavern were cen
tiers for militia drills, where men met at
stated times, marched and drilled. When,
there were no guns, broomsticks and corn+
stalks were used. Pole Tavern was the
center for the county drills.
In the good old days of pure apple jack
men had more fighting spirit than now.
For those who did not indulge the women
made home brewed beer and ginger cakes.
Many Of those who had the fighting spir-
it were killed in the Civil War, but many
of the veterans living today will tell you
that the fighting spirit existed for years
in Penns Grove, especially when Della
ware claimed all the shad and sturgeon
in the Delaware and sent an armed tug
to take our citizens prisoners. That ex-
listed until 1887 and was finally settled
by the u. S. Supreme Court Later the
fighting spirit became Modified by the
Good Spirit.
Capt. Samuel NJ. Denny returned from
the Civil War with title of captain of his
company and was appointed captain of
the local militiamen, but there was never
an organization made in Upper Penns
Neck township. So much for local his

whispered. "Fm simply all out" and
Mt that moment the drill sergeant in-
timated that he would give them an
other spell before they dismissed.
This was too much. The podgy pa.
triot felt it was time to protest.
I'm really awfully sorry to seem un-.
military in addressing you. sir" he
said, but this Swedish drill is more
than l can face in my present condi-
ton; besides" he added, dolefully, II
never knew we were at war with Swe--
