USE ARMS TO RESIST DRAFT
Wisconsin Men Are Held After An
Attack on Officers-Gun Used
BY Former 5Iuejacket.

Manitowoc - Nicholas Voss and
Emil Helm, the first citizen of Wis
consin to resist the army draft with
force of arms, were taken to Green
Bay to be arraigned before United
States court commissioner.
Voss is charged with attempted
murder and armed resistance of the
conscription law. Helm is charged
with aiding and abetting Voss in the
alleged commission of the crimes
stated.
Voss is a graduate of the United
States navy, from which he secured
an honorable discharge in December.
1918.
Helm is the son of Lutheran min
ister who heads a congregation at
Ada.
Both have lived recently in strong
ly pro-German settlements and, ac-
cording to officials connected with the
arrests, have been indulging ia dis
loyal talk against the draft. against
the war and against the allies of the
United States. Voss is credited with
having said a few days ago that he
would like to see any blank blank
federal officer place him where he
would be compelled to fight against
Germany"
The case has many features that
indicate what the poison of pgo-
German propaganda is doing, and what
if is likely to result in unless curbcd.
Contempt for the law of the land and
the government were brutally paraded
and backed up by an assault.
Both of the accused are German.
Helms, who supplied the weapon used
in the assault, is q farm hand.
