I FLAT TENANTS SILVER IN COLD
STRIKE-BoUND HOMES


Flats in more than 300 buildings
were cold last night. The janitOrs
were on strike.
Comparatively but few buildings
were affected, as the union janitors
signed agreements with all but a
handful Of owners before the day of
strike arrived. The pestering Of
tenants who by telephone and in per-
son insisted that the clause in the
lease guaranteeing heat through the
winter be fulfilled brought many
owners to terms after the strike was
called.
Strikebreakers have been employ
ed to FIRE furnaces in many buildings.
Several buildings are still cold today.
Police Chief SchuettIer detailed
policemen to watch several buildings
where there was a suspicion that

ANGELINA s.--For mercy sake, do
not use appliances for developing the
bust. They always do more harm than
good. Nobody can promise you that the
bust can surely be developed In any par
ticular case. But II you want to try
the best thing known and something
which ought to do the work. and that is
safe, get two ounces of ruetone at the
drug store and mix with half cup Of
sugar In half n pint of water. Take two
tcaspoonfuls Of this after each meal and
on retiring.

Miss HAIRY-This Is the only sensible
way to remove those hairs from your

Military Prisoners VIII Do All the
Heavy Work in Camps.

Washington, Aug. 1o.-The way oi
the Stacker will be hard, including ths
path of the conscientious objector,
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has today numerous resolutions
passed by Conscientious objectors'
but he has failed to give them of
ficial recognition.
Whether mot the &C. o." is@go
ing to be a military man, those who
refuse to report to national army.
Immediately come under military
jurisdiction and will be treated a. de-
serters. This is the answer of the
war department officials to queries
as to what is to be done with con-
scientious objectors.
In England these objectors have
been subjected to civil law and have
been given jail sentences. In the
United States the man pass out Of
the jurisdiction of civil authorities
automatically when they resist the
draft. They will come under the
orders of court-martial and will not
be given an opportunity to languisf,
in jail.
There will be no separate camps
for these. Instead they will be giX-
en- the work of ordinary military
prisoners. This is camp work. Mill
tary prisoners are ordered into the
front line trenches.
. Provost Marshal General Crowder
has expressed desire to override no
sects or creeds, but he believes that
these are provided for by the regula-
tons which provide for exemptions
for recognized religious sects op-
posed to war.
Exemption boards have been ad
vised to give no exemptions to those
who claim conscientious objections.
Men who fail to appear when or
dered up for physical examination
are being located and kept under sur
veillance by the war department. A
few days prior to mobilization they
will be ordered taken before mill
tary board and will thereupon be-
come members of the national army.
Thousands of these men throughout
the United States are being closely
shadowed and there will be no aven-
ue OF escape for them.

This makes it impossible for us to

trary, we are compelled to reduce our

plished if subscribers who are neigh

three of them may share one paper.
By reducing our circulation we will
be able to use the money. which we
would spend for white paper to keep
our whole staff employed and to fur
nish more news. Every new sub
scription we get is source of wor-
ry to us. Business men and mer-

HONORS FOR DRAFT MEN
Departure for Camps to be a Holi-
day.

Washington, Aug Io-One of the
greatest send-offs young Americans
have ever known will probably be
given the first of Uncle Sans army
of $500 men who will depart fo7
cantonment camps.
Mobilization day, originally set for
September I, may have to be post
poned. Provost Marshal Crowder
this afternoon stated that the new
date probably will be September 4.
Suggestions that the date be made
national holiday met with instant
response in official quarters today
While nothing has yet been done
officially, Provost Marshal General
Crowder and Secretary Baker were
said to have the matter under con-
sideration.
A proclamation by President Viii
son fixing the date as a holiday is
within the range of possibilities.
Twenty-six thousand men trained
in "Plattsburg" camps the past three
months will be turned out as officers
August IS. Fourteen thousand 9TH
ers will be disappointed in their am.
bition to get commissions.
The War Department announced
today, however, that over two thous.
and of those who fail will have .
chance to repeat their course the
next three months and thus win theil
stripes.

Draft Army to be Called on Sept. I

Washington, Aug. 8.-Only 20 pei
cent OF the men drafted for the Ma
tional Army in Missouri, Kansas and
Colorado will be called for training
at Camp Funston at Fort Riley ear
ly in September. The same percen,-
age will apply at all of the canton
ments.
The entire selective army OF 687,-
900 men will not be called to the
coors before the latter part of Oc-
tober
Official announcement was made
OF this fact today by officers in the
Provost Marshal Generals office,
who explained that insurmountable
difficulties make it impossible to get
the entire army into training for at
least six or seven weeks after the
original date for training, Sept. I.
The men at Camp Funston will be
in training for approximately 10
months, and it is not likely they will
be ready to board transports for Eu-
rope before Sept. 1, 1918.
The machinery of drafting will be
completed the last of August and the
Provost Marshal General will be
ready at that time to meet any call
of the Secretary of War for the full
quota of men sought under the draft.
As far as the work of this office is
concerned the men could be moved
to the cantonments by Sept 1.

PROTECT MORALS AT NEVADA
General Troop Movements Probably
to be Ordered This Week.

Nevada, Mo.-The morals Of th>
Missouri national guardsmen will bt
guarded carefully during the period
the troops are in camp here, accord
ing to a statement issued tonight by
Brig. Gen. H. c. Clark, commanding
According to General Clark, agents
of the Department of Justice will BE-
here continuously to see that the law
regarding the sale Of liquor to me1
in uniform is not violated and to de-
tect violators of the order relative
to immoral places within five miles
of an army camp.
Mai. w. D. Stepp of Trenton, who
had charge of-the ~troops at Flat
River, Mo-, during recent riots there
will be provost marshal in Nevada,
General Clark said. The following
statement was issued from brigade
headquarters today:
General Clark desires the public
to know that the sale OF intoxicat-
ing liquor in any form whatever or
under any name to a soldier in uni
form is a violation of the federal law
for which the most drastic punish
ment is provided. By intoxicating
liquor is meant not only whisky and
beer, but any beverage which con-
tains any percentage of alcohol.
General Clark has taken up the
matter with Francis NJ. Wilson, Unit
ed States district attorney at Kansas
CITY, who assures that the Depart
,nent of Justice will act promptly and
vigorously in every case. Further
more, special agents from the De-
partment OF Justice will be in Nevada
constantly during the presence of the
troops to detect violators of the law.
"The recent act OF Congress on the
sale of Intoxicating liquor to soldiers
gives the federal soldiers far reach
ing power in this manner and the law
will be enforced to the very limit.
an this connection General Clark
calls attention to the fact that rigid
punishments are provided for prost-
tutes who ply their calling within five
miles of an army camp, and that the
Objectionable characters had better
give Nevada wide berth during the
presence of the troops.
