Draft is Immoral,
Declares Pacifist

NEW YORK, May 31-The conscrip.
tion act was characterized today as
both immoral and unconstitutional at
the first American Conference on
Democracy and Terms of Peace which
was again in session today at Madison
Square with Socialists and pacifists
in attendance.
The speaker was Daniel Kiefer, of
Cincinnati, who was introduced after
DR.. Judah l.. Magnes, of the organic
ers of the conference, had referred to
newspaper dispatches from Washing
ton telling of the purpose of the de-
partment of justice to take steno-
graphic notes at peace meetings and
prosecute those who infringe upon
the law.
II don't know whether this is the
kind of meetings the department of
justice means" said Mr.. Magnes, but
if 1t is and there are stenographers
here would like to invite them to
this platform where they may see
and hear everything that transpires
"In Prussia at political meetings the
stenographers are seated on the plat
form. They take notes and report to
the government. Inasmuch as we are
very rapidly becoming Prussianized,
We should follow the Prussian ex-
ample at our meetings"

fists and clubs and warned to leave
town.
The mob congregated near negro
section in the outskirts Of the city and
the shooting attracted the national
guardsmen who soon dispersed it.
There was no further trouble until
early today when three shots were
fired from second story window OF a
house near a negro district at group
of guardsmen who were standing un-

Dropped by Airmen

HAVRE, May 81. - A fine Of ten
thousand marks and three years i'm
prisonment are the penalties by the
German authorities on Belgians who
dare pick up proc.arlations or objects
Of any nature dropped by allied await

tory and are obliged, whenever an
aviator lets tall any object whatever

who have until now succeeded In
keeping the Belgians remaining in oc-
cupied territory more or less posted
on the military situation.

HELP SWELL FUND

left In which subscriptions may be
secured, Wayne county investors have
subscribed to $525. 200 worth of Liberty
bonds, according to q statement given
out today by the county Liberty loan
committee. This amount is about two
thirds of the apportionment for the

them to do their part to secure the
success of the Liberty loan. subscript
ions for the bonds are coming in more
rapidly at the banks of Wayne county
and County Chairman. Hiatt said today
he was confident the apportionment OF
the county would be raised.
It will be necessary, however, to
raise the remaining amount of the
county's share of S850,000 through
small investors. as all of the bank
subscriptions have figured in the
amount given out today.
Bonds in denominations Of $50 and
500 will play a prominent part in the
success of the loan." said Hiatt today,
land 1t will be necessary for every
man in the country to do his share
in the raising Of the loan"
Investors are beginning to realize,
however that the opportunity for in

States bonds. bearing three and half
percent, as is now presented is good
business proposition and they are
rapidly coming into the banks of the
county and subscribing to the loan"

Friends May Tote
Shells, Says Wood

In response to inquiries as to how
members of the Friends church should
fill out conscription return blanks, L.
Hollingsworth Wood. secretary of the
yearly meeting of the Orthodox branch
of the Religious Society of Friends, of
New York, who was in Richmond
for several days recently, has issued
the following statement to the Friends
of this country in reference to the
registration:
THAT is a matter of individual con-
science. The most effective way
would be to say he is member of the
Society of Friends and is conscien-
tiously opposed to bearing arms.
While members of this society are
exempt from combatant service, We
are not exempt from such service as
the President may designate. That
may be making munitions, or 1t may be
toting shells"
