IMMORTALITY is FATAL
TO ARMIES IN EUROPE
Weakens Them More Than Disease,
Secretary Daniels Tells Men
at Fort Myer Camp.

Some OF the armies in Europe have
been weakened more by immortality
than disease" warned Secretary Daniels
In addressing the more than 1000 young
men in training for commissions as
reserve officers in the Fort Myer camp,
last night.
Secretary Daniels urged upon the men
that they should keep themselves NOR
ally clean and explained the nation
wide campaign to keep the army posts
and camps free from evil resorts.
I beg Of you as you go forth to
war" urged Secretary Daniels. that
your lives shall be as blameiess as
the ideals Of your nation. If we are
to win this war. our young men must
keep their bodies pure and clean and
set an example in this respect for
the soldiers under their command to
follow"
Challenging statements that the pa
triotism Of the United States is at low
ebb, Secretary Daniels complimented
the embryo officers on the fact that
through devotion to country they gave
up the ambitions Of civil life to help
preserve human liberty, not only by
fighting for it themselves, but as lead
ers in the war. setting a fine example
of courage and clearly living for those
who are to follow them in the great
national army.
Some people have said that the
spirit of rs in America has died. but
facts have proven that the youths Of
today are just as fearless and liberty
loving as they ever WERE" he said.
The Secretary also praised the Y. NJ.
c. A. for its army and navy work and
said that no other organization was do
ing more for its welfare.

Senate Laughs Over
Story in Paper on
Worry About Draft

The Senate. had a laugh amidst

Saturday. Senator Fletcher had
the secretary read an article
from a Waycross, Ga. paper on
why Worry About the Draft"
Here 1t Is; it comes from an
Atlanta boy. who has been on the
firing line in France and knows
what he Is talking about:
You have two alternatives
either you are drafted or you are
not. If not, you have nothing to
worry about. If you are drafted.
you have two alternatives-you
are in camp or you are at the
front. If you are in camp you
have nothing to worry about. II
you are at the front you have
two alternatives-either you are
the firing line.
nothing to worry about. II you
are sent to the firing line. you
have two alternatives--eithe
you fight or you don't. If you
don't, you have nothing to worry
about.
"If you do, you have two al
ternatives-either you get hurt
or you don't. If you don't. you
have nothing to worry about. If
you do get hurt, you have two
alternatives either you are
slightly hurt or badly hurt If
slightly hurt. you have nothing
to worry about. II badly hurt,
you have two alternatives--eithe
you recover or you don't.
IF you recover. you have moth
ing to worry about. II you don't
recover. then you are dead and
can't worry.
so what's the use Of worrying
about the draft?"

Wanted to Go With Roosevelt.

When Roosevelt planned to organize
a division of volunteers both boys
wrote him and asked to be enrolled.
Edward then took an examination for
the Officers Reserve Corps. but failed
in his physical test because of color
confusion. Cndaunted by this failure
he enlisted in the Medical Corps, where
he was given the rank of first sergeant.
Just before he left the State Depart
ment, though officials there We're un-
willing to let him go. he received an
appointment to the London embassy at
$4,000 a year. He informed officials
there that he would rather serve in his
country's uniform in France than in a
civilian capacity in London.
The spirit of both my boys has been
largely that of the young men at Hy-
attsville." said Mr.. HalIoran today.
With only about $500 population, Hy-
attsville is sending eighty boys to the
front in Company F. alone"
Hyattsville's base ball team is the
loser by the Halloran boys departure.
They formed the crack battery OF the
Hyattsville team and both played on
teams in Washington. VAL was the
pitcher and Edward the catcher
Edward also won trophies as a dis
tinguished marksman in Company r.
which captured the Maryland trophy
Tor craftsmanship three years in sue
CeSsion.

Attacked by Submarines.

1t was Corp. Halloran who wrote the
postal card. referred to in The Star
yesterday stating that the transport
he was on had been attacked by sub
marines, thereby sustaining the mooted
statement of Secretary Daniels on july
4. This postal said:
we were attacked by the I--boats
but our destroyers chased them off after
causing good bit of excitement. Trio do
stroyers damaged one of the boats badly"
The card containing TINS .n.orl.a.,n
was written before Secretary Daniels
statement was published
In another letter just received Corn
Halioran writes:
Il am somewhere In France We are
as happy as We could be under these
circumstances. And j am sure I will
be contented with my work until peace
one more is restored"
The rest of the letter is personal and
the writer states he has many inter-
esting things he could tell were it NOT
for fear the censor might destroy the
entire letter.
In serving their country the bows
are following the footsteps of their
father, who for six years was in the
District National Guard. where he also
won medals as a distinguished marks
nan and sharpshooter.

Had Fine Weather on Trip.
val" Halloran writes:

wal" Halloran writes:
we arrived here somewhere in
Franco some few days ago, with very
little difficulty. Our trip was one
which Will long be remembered. The
weather was wonderful and the sea
was very calm. At times there would
not be a ripple on the ocean. AS we
sat on the quarterback and enjoyed a
smoke the gentle breeze from off the
Gulf stream would fan us. In fact.
smoking was the only pleasant pas
time we had. Sometimes tramp boat
would pass us to break the monotony.
After we were out a few days it was
nothing unusual to see a large whale
taking life easy and spouting water
high in the air, and then a sea gull
would pass by.
Over here everything seems so
strange and so different from the sur
roundings in the United States. The
town itself is very old-fashioned, with
houses with little balconies, and vines
climbing over them. Most every one
here has a flower garden, with flowers
trailing all over the place.
ut is funny sight to see the women
carrying pals of water on some kind
of a frame. with their wooden shoes
and quaint dress. The women here work
in factories, fields and lumber mills for
the young Frenchmen are scarce. The
climate here is very misty and some
times cold. 1t does not grow dark
until after 10 O'Clock.
The papers here state there was
big Fourth of July celebration in Paris.
This is the second Fourth l have been
away from home in my countrys be-
half. Now I look forward to the COM
ing one and wonder where | will be-.
Corp. Halloran mentions meeting
Ralph Lewis. a Hyattsville boy, first
lieutenant in the Medical Corps. His
reference to the last Fourth of July
spent in his countrys behalf. is to his
service on the Mexican border, where
he and his brother were in Company F
of the LIST Maryland Regiment.
Edward r. Halloran, now a sergeant
in the Medical Reserve Corps, made
unusual efforts to get into the trenches.
At the request of the Secretary of
State he was discharged from the Ma
tional Guard upon his return from
Mexico because of confidential service
he was performing as code clerk at the

Koepp and odenwald Call
Meeting to Organize a
Truck. Association.
COMMISSIONER HARRY
D. WILSON WILL TALK
Organization Considered a
Necessity, In Order to
Grow for Market. !,

There will be meeting in. Madi-
sonville today at 8 a. m, (January
2Oth) for the purpose OF organizing
a truckers association. Geo. Koepp,
Jr., and w. F. j. Odenwald are es-
pecially interested in the forming OF
such an association and 1t is desired
to have as many Of the farmers
present as possible. Commissioner
of Agriculture Harry d. Wilson will
address the meeting. Farm Demon
strator Lewis will also speak.
1t is considered that organization
is the only way in which to get the
advantages of marketing that are en-
joyed by the prosperous farmer.
Farm products are commanding
good prices, but the farmers here
are not benefitting because they are
not organized, and do not know what
to grow or how to place 1t on the
market. Large quantities are much
more readily placed. Growing for
the market so as to have crops
maturing at the same time can only
be done through organization. Also
production is cheapened by the buy
ing of fertilizers in large quantities.
There is nothing against organiza-
tion and there is everything for It.

CHAUNCY PAR
KER KILLEDBY,
LIGHTNING

Laws are made for the protection
Of the people, and such laws usually
provide specific Penalties for their
violation, and when verdict of
guilty is rendered by the jury ex-
tenuating circumstances cannot go
beyond the least penalty inflicted by
the law Under the new law there
is system of parole that enables
the judge to practically suspend senSs
tence in cases where he believes cir
cumstances warrant it and the object
of the law is not defeated. This
law was not in effect when Chauncy
Parker was found guilty of horse
stealing and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary. 1t may have been that
young ParEer's offense was sur
rounded by circumstances that show
ed. him not necessarily criminal in
nature. 1t may have been that the
taking of the horse was not intended
to be of a permanent nature, and
that it might have been returned
later. We do not know. But it is
said that a large part of the jury
were willing to see him pardoned
and that proceedings were commenc-
ed to bring the matter before the
@pardoning beard. 1t is fact that
he had a loving mother in st. Tam
many parish whose heart went out
to him in confinement in prison, and
that this mother had tried to instill
in him the principles Of good life.
That many a prayer was said for
him in the still hours of the night,
\ and that mothers love was behind
= the efforts for his release.
Mrs. Parker came to The Farmer
office and paid for the advertise
ment that gave notice that young
Parker was applying for pardon,
as is required by law.0 At that time
Mrs. Parker asked that the affidavit
of publication he furnished her as
soon as possible, for she could hard
ly wait for the day when her boy
would be with her again.
Shortly after this her attorney,
Mr.. Heintz, saw her about the case
and told her it was probable her son
might soon be free. 'No, no, Mr.
Heintz;s it is all over" said Mrs.
Parker. ''My boy is dead"
1t seems that her boy had been
struck by lightning and killed, while
at work. One other convict and a
mule were killed at the same time.
Her letter to her son was returned
to her. The envelope containing
the information Of the death of her
boy had a border Of mourning work
