WHITE FEATHER IS DENIED
PRIVILEGE OF SERVING
Still Imbued With War Spirit and
viii Speak at Temple Theatre
Tomorrow Night

Minus the panoplies of war, minus
the fanfare of trumpet and drum yet
triumphant in the knowledge that
he attempted to do his bit" White
Feather returned last Sunday to the
peaceful scenes of his lately sur
rendered abiding place.
He carries with him documentary
evidence testifying to the fact that
it was the flesh and not the spirit
that denied him the opportunity that
the God of war affords to many, to
carve his name on the tablets that
endure for all time.
But peace hath her victories no
less renowned than war" and while
disappointed in his wish to demon
strate that an Indian possesses the
attributes of true soldier he Is de-
termined TO devote himself to the
great cause and to this end has en-
gagged the Temple Theatre for to-
morrow night when he will talk on
the subject of 1.-THE Army at Camp
Lewis" and also give an exhibition
of army drills and flag signals.
There will be a small admission
fee to meet the expense of the hall.
Whitefeather promises many inter-
esting side ligths on Camp Life and
on the methods of Transforming the
civilian into a soldier fitted to with
stand the rigors of life at the front.

Volunteer From Churchill

tions of the country that on the m ID
make more pretentions to public ap-
plause Is now in the midst of ar
rangements for a grand ball to be
given toward securing sufficient
funds to provide each volunteer and
drafted young man from this vallev
With a Christmas box.
A committee consisting of mem
hers of the local Red Cross chapter
is actively at work in the matter,
realizing that the time is all too
short for all they wish to do
request is made by these ladie
for empty Nabisco wafer tins 1t be
g. ing the intention to pack these with
fruit cake. these to be placed in tho
box with numerous other articles of
a useful and attractive nature.
II is felt that little urging Is
necessary in matter that means SO
much to these boys OF ours away
from home at a season of the year
when their memories return to 9TH
er Christmas days so full of cheer
and good will. To any having any
of these Nabisco tins 1t Is requested
that they be left at the Office of the
Standard.
Another important matter is that
of the addresses of these volunteers
and 1t is asked that any one know
ing the address of an enlisted young
man send 1t to Professor r. j. Nc
Killop as 1t Is hoped that not one of
these boys may feel that he is for
gotten on that day.
The date of the ball is fixed for
Saturday, November and II is be
lieved that there will be such an out
pouring on that occasion as to leave
no question of the depth of our de
votion to these boys who have saeri
feed so many comforts for a cause
that is vital to each one of us
The committee urges every indl
vidual In the community to take this
matter home to them as a persona
one and aid those In charge by a
prompt response to the above re
quests.

1t had been busy day at General
ATOMS headquarters. Indeed, those
were all busy days in the weeks that
Immediately followed the battle Of
Shiloh, the taking Of Island No. 10 and
the later occupation by General Pope
Of Corinth.
In the heart of the little city of Jack,
son, Tenn, General Alton had estab-
Nshed his headquarters At his desk
here, long after taps had sounded, his
Nights gave evidence that when the
men In the ranks are asleep uneasy Is
stiA the head Of the officer in COM
AAnd.
An orderly noiselessly entered the
room where General Alton was at his
desk. Silently he saluted and waited
for some sign Of recognition. He had
to wait some minutes before General
Alton, without looking up from his let
tsrs, said, "Well, orderly?"
Colonel Curtis presents his compli-
0snts to General Alton, begs to report
matters Of Importance and asks an i'm
mediate Interview"
The general laid down his pen.
"Show him In, orderly"
As the colonel entered General Alton
rose, and the two grave faced men
looked Questioningly at each other. In
those days matters Of Importance
generally stood for disaster and neces-
sity for quick action.
General Alton" the crisp voice of
Colonel Curtis began, "a prisoner, a
gpy, has been arrested attempting to
pass the lines. In the search in his
shoes were found concealed complete
and thorough drawing Of the strength
ened Notifications Of Corinth and pa
pers bearing information on supplies,
condition Of men, etc"
The general turned to the speaker a
face full of interest. "That's bad, Colo
mel Curtis, very bad. Tell me some
thing of the personality Of the pris
ener."
II did not see him until the papers
kad been discovered and the evidence
Of his being a spy established. He is a
mere boy, not more than twenty years
old, am sure. He has been soldier
Of that am convinced-and good blood
runs in his veins. l think him native
Of this section of Tennessee. His &C
cent indicates it."
"You ordered the search?"
"No; Captain Lawton did"
