EIGHTEEN LIEUTS.
GONG TO FRANCE
NEW OFFICERS FROM M'PHER-
SON TO Go-BRUNSWICK MAY
BE AMONG THEM.

Information has been received in
Brunswick to The effect that eigh-
teen lieutenantS, who have just left
the officers training camp at Fort
N. j., on August 20, ready to sail fol
France, where they will undergo in
tensive training, preparatory to ac,
tive entrance into the European war.
1t was stated that Captain Corbin
adjutant OF the camp, declined to di-
vulge the names OIL the men who
have volunteered for the service.
When the officers at the camp ask
ed Tor Voluntc..s Ior this work, hun
dreds of applications were receive<
among them Icing a number of cap
tains. The men who were desired,
however, were first lieutenants and
so the captains were rejected.
The date for the sailing of the
lieutenants viii be kept secret, but
it is understood that they will en-
bark with another body Of American
troops for france. 1t is believed
probable that within three months
they will be in active service against
the German enemies.
Five men have been selected from
the camp to be sent shortly to Cam
bridge, Mass, where they will I'M
dergo intensive training under in
structiOn of French and British Off
GERS in the use of hand grenades
and trench warfare. The officers
who are instrdc;ing the students have
all seen active service on the battle
line.
Brunswick had several officers to
receive commissions at Mcpherson
and it may be that one of them will
be among the number to go.

DRAFT BILL FILED
j. s. COURT SOON
HAeEAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
BE ARGUED BEFORE JUDGE
SPEER SATURDAY..

In view of the general Importance
OF the movement of testing the draft
law in Georgia, the following from
the Macon Telegraph of yesterday
will be of wide local interest:
The United States marshaPs of
flee in this city yesterday received a
copy of the habeas corpus proceed
ings instituted before Judge Speer at
Mt. Airy to test the draft law. The
copy was sent to the marshal's office
for service upon parties cited to ap-
pear at Mt. Airy Saturday and show
cause why Albert Jones, a McDuffie
county negro, should not be released
from custody. District Attorney Don
aldson is included in the citation to
appear at Mt. Airy.
The petition of Jones states that
he is confined in the common Jail of
Richmond county under the draft
act, which act is unconstitutional in
that it cOntravenes the thirteenth
amendment to the constitution, pro-
viding that neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except as punish
ment for crime whereof the party
shall have been convicted, shall exist
anywhere within the United States
or territories 1t is contended that
Jones is not accused of any crime.
but is held for military service which
he is unwilling to perform.
The assertion is made that Jones
is a free citizen of the United States
and of Georgia; that he has not for
feited his citizenship; that he has the
right to remain in the United States
as free citizen, and ought not be
sent out Of the realm without his con
sent, as is now being attempted; that
he is being detained illegally for the
purpose of being sent beyond the seas
outside of the United States or any
territory, for military duty in Europe,
that forcible Punishment or expulsion
from his native land without his con-
sent violates his natural rights; and
that he is being forced to give up all
his rights as a free-born American
citizen to do military service without
his consent and against his will"

NEGROES MAY Be
ENLISTED IN NAVY
ORDERS WERE RECEIVED HERE
TO THAT EFFECT YES
TERDAY.

Orders were received by Ensign
SymOns, in charge of the Brunswick
section, yesterday to enlist negroes
and there will doubtless be a large
number to join, as the negroes OF
Brunswick have made many applica-
tons at the army and navy stations,
out up to the present no orders have
been received to enlist negroes. The
negroes that enlist in the navy will
be assigned as walters. The order
does not say how many can be enlist
ed, but it is likely that this depart
ment will be filled up rapidly
Orders were also received saying
that exemption boards could not eX-
empt men to join the navy, as has
been done in some instances, which
forces a man to go into the army II
he waits until he is called to stand
his physical examination. The eX-
emption boards were also notified Of
this order yesterday.

charge of Lieut.. Harwell, received

to go. He is perhaps the greatest
halfback in the country and he
should be.
The army has this year annexed
another star who should be one
of the greatest linemen In the
country before he finishes.
He is Bull" Vandergraaf, who
for three years has played tackle
on the Alabama team, who last
year was second choice for ALL
American tackle and unanimous
choice for All-Southern tackle and
who captained his team with great
eclat.
Vandergraaf may be called the
unluckiest player in football this
year. In the Army's first game
with Carnegie Tech he wrenched
his knee and was out of the game
for three weeks.
In his first practice for the
Notre Dame game he again
wrenched the knee and will not
be able to play again this season.

Overheard a warplane gunner is
using his machine gun in signal
practice. Not far away at an artil-
lery barracks a sweating group of
Tommies Is laboring to drag a
heavy gun out of a mudhole, in
practice for the real job at the
front. Others are rushing trenches
with the bayonet.
Our men aren't yet at war, but
they're in the midst of the next

Look out for Ohio State was
the word passed around the Big
Ten early this season.
And subsequent results have
proved that the warning was not
false alarm.
Ohio State, champions of 1916,
when Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana
and Northwestern were taken into
camp, was treated considerably
by the war. AS result the same
team, with the exception of Cap
tain Sorenson, fullback, and one
or two others, is in the harness
again and as the season nears its
climax there is nothing in the
west, with the possible exception
of Michigan which even ap-
proaches the Wilce machine.
The development of Pete Stinch-
comb in the backfield is a big
element in making Ohio State
greater team than In 1916. THIS
youngster is said to be almost as
brilliant as his teammate,
Chick Harley, almost uni
versal choice on the All-American
backfield last year.

An official check by members of

disclosed the fact this morning
that more than $1,000 had been
realized for the fund thru the big

val, which is now holding forth on
Midway" between 9th and 18th

opened last Monday and was to
have closed Saturday night but
the success of the enterprise has
caused much demand for an extra
engagement and last night the To-

show open until Wednesday night.
There will be matinee daily. Free
street dances will lalso be nightly

both from financial and carnival
spirit standpoint. Saturday night

West Point is usually able to
take pretty good care Of Its foot
ball which scarcely ever Ian

has the advantage as the age limit

while at Annapolis 1t is IS.

at West Point is Elmer Oliphant,
