Father Wanted TO Enlist In the
Army to Wipe Out Disgrace Of
the Cowardice Of Three Sons

Captain J. d. watson relates mol
dents Of 4 Lack Of patriotism on the
part Of the young men of the country.
He has been severely criticised on ac-
count OF interviews he has given out,
but he says that 1t Is a we'll known fact
that the young men Of the country are
not coming to the front in the matter
of enlistments as readily as they
should. He believes the selective draft
system will be the best solution, as
under the volunteer system parents are
prone to urge their boys to remain at
home unless the sons of their neigh
bors also go to the front.
1T Is fact" says Captain Watson,
that In some sections Of southern
Idaho the parents have given their sons
money, automobiles and interests In
tho farms to keep them from joining
the army. The young mon are not to
be blamed II they listen to the plead
ings Of their parents and accept the
tempting offers dangled before them
Under the selective draft system your
son and my son will both DO In the
same position and it will keep the
young men of our country where they
are most useful.
Under the present system Of en-
listing the first call to the colors al
ways gets the flower of our youth, the
young men who are attending school
and who are Just entering upon useful
trades and professions, while the pool
room loafers remain at home. Under
these conditions, cannot blame the
parents of boys for objecting to their
Joining the army and the navy"
HOPED TO WIPE OUT DISGRACE
Captain Watson told of a peculiar
case that occurred in Salt Lake last
week. The recruiting office received q
letter from = man Sc years of age. q

Woes to his country In any way that
they might be utilized. The writer
said that he was the father Of four

youngest they are all opposed to fight

on which he had made the journey
from Hebron, and babe Jether do like
wise. The approach to the capital Of
Judea had been made up gradually
ascending rise Of hills, and now, like
a sudden panorama unfolded before
their eyes, they saw the famous city
rising on it's three hills across the val
ley of Gihon. Jether gaZed, fasci-
mated at the sight. He saw in the
distance the great temple founded by
King David and as yet little more
than half completed by Solomon. He
saw the walls Of the city encompassing
the hills of Zion, of Moriah and Of
AGRA. Below him lay the fertile valley
and beyond that the great mass Of
houses and palaces beyond the city's
walls, and in the streets were thrOngs
Of people. He pressed forward eagerly.
Hasten, lola J" he cried. II long to
see the city!"
lola beat the ass upon which he was
riding and led the way down the in
cline, along the narrow but much trav-
eled road, and so on through the val
ley and up to the east gate Of the city.
AS they plunged into the mad vortex
of life in the city, Jether noticed many
strange faces Of different nationalities.
Egyptians. Phoenicians, Babylonians.
Arabians and Persians-all clad in
| gayly colored garments and speaking
strange tongues Finally Tola gave
him the signal to dismount, and they
turned over their animals to a swarthy
horse dealer, who seemed to know
lola.
I'VE will continue on foot" explained
Tola. First must 1 get thee some fine
raiment more suitable for the life thou
wilt now lead in the city, where thy
skins and rough sandals become thee

Guided by the experienced Tola, Je-
Their soon had purchased for hundred
shekels a splendid robe of deep red
cloth, embroidered in gold and silver
His country sandals We're exchanged
| for more beautiful and serviceable ones
with gilded cloth tops, which extended
above his ankles. A handsome leatherI
girdle, in which to carry gold coins
with a purse attached, was another
article suggested by lola, and then
after the transformation had been eff
fected, Jether stood forth as another
man. BY the advice of lola the sheep
skin bag was exchanged at a jewelers.

to visit the house of Nadina.
"And there shalt thou live during
thy stay in Jerusalem explained the
elder man. mine own lodgings are
but i'll suited to such prince as thou
hast become, Jether, and among the
company at Nadina's house thou wilt
make new friends who will bring thee
much joy. For my sake Nadina will
welcome thee"
What thou sayest will do" replied
the boy, as they pushed their way for
ward through the motley crowd. Tola
led the way, first toward the citadel Of
David and the royal palace of Solo
mon; but suddenly he left the main
thoroughfare for beautiful garden
with a winding road through grove
of olive trees. Then, turning abruptly,
he entered large walled Enclosure, in
the center of which was sparkling
fountain and pool of clear water.
Beyond, the imposing stone walls of a
beautiful mansion rose. veritable pal
ace. The garden was filled with gor-
geous settees with carved wooden arms
and strange articles of furniture fash
toned from tusks of ivory. In one cor
ner stood a statue enShrined apparent
ly upon pedestal set upon rising plat
forms. Tola babe the servant place
the chest upon divan and then clap
ped his hands. A girl appeared upon
the threshold.
Summon thy mistress!" cried Tola.
