violations of military law escaped

to prisoners, this is something new

M cADOO STATES
REASONS FOR our
ENTERING WAR
tBy the Associated Press,

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 24.-G -Germany's
efforts to keep American ships
on Of the high seas through
ruthless submarine warfare was a d.
rect blow aimed at the prosperity of
American farms and of American
business, Secretary McAdoo declared
today in a Liberty day address here.
After reminding his hearers that
America went in 1872 to vindicate
her right to the freedom of the seas
and had steadfastly maintained it
since then, he continued:
THAT right is essential to Ameri-
cas- life and security, because we have
always produced more than we con-
sumo at home. And the very life of
our people depends upon their abil-
ity at all times to sell that surplus in
the open markets Of the world"
The German emperor "had been led
by disloyal people in this country to
believe that America never would
fight" Secretary McAdoo continued.
Had America submitted and kept
her ships of the sea. discord and dis
content among American people
would have followed, he said, and the
German emperor, by one stroke Of
his pen, would have accomplished
"more destruction than he could ac-
complish with all the armies and
navies Of the German empire"
The secretary then turned to the
ruthless submarine warfare Of Ger
many.
Some man is alleged to have said
that America had no justification for
this war with Germany" he declared.
'If there be an American who, know
ing this record, says we did not have
justification for war with Germany,
then yellow blood flows in his veins;
he hasn't any red blood in him."

II be goin' up to Bangor to get

Such was the answer given by one
denizen Of the Maine woods to an
other when asked whittier he was
bound. And similar was the attitude
of many of the Liberty Loan bond
statesmen, stated county chairman J.
A. Buchanan at the banquet Tues. ev-
ening, when they were confronted by
the amounts assigned to their re-
spective districts. But the sale was
organized from top to bottom. 1t was
pushed with avidity, and the result
in nearly every district in the county
is source of satisfaction to those
who have given their days and nights
to the work of floating the loan.
The amount assigned to the coun-
ty outside Of Jamestown was $175.-
900, and the amount raised up until
a late hour Tuesday was slightly oy-
or 100000. The city's quota was
100000; over $225,O00 was sub
scribed. The sale was remarkable
demonstration of what may be ac-
compfished thru organization with 4
patriotic a1otive as an incentive.
Almost as remarkable was the
largely attended and enthusiastic
meeting Tuesday evening upon the
occasion of the banquet rendered by
the jamestown Commercial Club to
the workers in city and county. A
company of nearly 14O sat down to

GERMANY SUBSTITUTES
WOMEN FOR MEN

I-(COr. Associated PreSs) - The
German Empire, to some extent, has
become dependent upon women's
labor, declares a German correspon-
dent of the Nieuwe Rotterdam Cour-
ant. ., In the hospitals, at railroad
stations, in shops and in offices, ev-
en- in the most responsible positions,
the work is principally done by wom-
en-. In even first-class restaurants
girls and women have replaced the
walters. The traveller who enters a
hotel encounters q porter in long
skirts, who carries out his behests as
quickly as before. Street traffic is
largely in the hands of the women.
Women conductors, drivers and in
spectors are dressed in the uniform
of their male colleagues but with
skirt or bloomers.
Passengers meet with better treat
ment than was the case with the
male staff. On the railroads women
are serving in booking Offices, as
guards on the trains, or porters.
Letters and kilograms are delivered
by women and girls. Most Of the
few automobiles are driven by wom-
en-.
But the main work of women is
in the factories. The skilled work
has now more and more passed into
their hands, as we'll as the carrying
of heavy loads. At the turning
bench, at the furnaces, everywhere
they are met with their wages at Z
or marks a day are equal to mems
earning for like labor. They work
in blue smock frock and bloomers
with sort of sailors cap or cloth
on their heads, with black hands and
rolled-up sleeves and in the meal
hour they are more and more to be
seen in the street, even with bare
legs, for stockings are superluity
in factories, at the furnaces and
suchlike occupations.
The results of women's work in
the mining industry are termed very
satisfactory. The sorting of sweep
fings, old iron and brass, the unload
ing of freight-cars, is performed by
woman's hands and arms, and a
newcomer is amazed at the way in
which she Chambers about and lifts
and shoulders loads. In agriculture
women have always supplied auxili-
ary labor. but now also do the heavy
work like moving, plowing and
threshing. Es !.
Dress has naturally been brot in.
to accord with the new work. Or

street-cars,ts skirts have been replac
ed by blOomers and CATERS, and be

NOTES OF SHOOT

Charlie Goodrich only let one target slip
 by him.
 Walter Huff always shoots good here
 and some one has to break them all to
 beat him.
 T. B. Hummer let few slip by him,
 but most of them went up in smoke. pr. Des Portes from Columbus. Ga, said
 he was only warming up yesterday, but
 those targets would locke like 30 cents
 today when he got through with them. Dr. Holland only had time to shoot 50 targets and blew 46 of them into black smoke.
 E. R. Holt was shooting very good, but
 not quite as good as he usually does here.
 Tate Mason was shooting a new gun for the first time so his score was very good only" We believe he was looking g at his pretty gun instead of his targets. J. K. Warren let few more slip away
 from him than he usually does, for War
 den is sure some shooter. MT. J. H Fite wass visiting our club for the first time and made a nice score. Gentry Hillman did not have his own gun. so Gentry's score looks sick tc what it usually does. John Fletcher came out late, but shot al 100 and let very few of them escape and was high amateur for the afternoon Geei but he sure did smoke them out. Tom Cassety was not shooting up to his average quite, but will probably have his eve on them today. R.. M Leland, our local professional, was shooting very good and did not let many slip by him. R. IT. Baugh must have had his mind
 on baseball today at least his score looks it.
 We must not forget the ladies, for they are serving us good things to eat and they sure deserve our praise

M 'ADOO'S TAXATION SCHEDULES BEING
 CLOSELY FOLLOWED

Washington. April 23.-Iuability of dem ocrats and republican members of the ways and means committee to agree on tarin schedules probably will result in the omission from the new war revenue measure. now in the making, all pro- posed leyies on goods now admitted to this country free.
 A subcommittee consisting of Chairman Kitchin and Representatives Rainey of Illinois and Dixon of Indiana, Fordney of Michigan. and Longworth of Ohio, conferred today. and it developed that they were at variance on most features of the proposed emergency tariff. Later MT. Kftchin declared there appeared to be little chance of tarin features being included in the bill.
 Exclusion of the tarif section will make necessary the raising of approximately s2o6 100000 additional revenue from other sources under the suggestions submitted to the committee by Secretary McAdoo.
 Although committeeman say they have not decided definitely where the addi- tional revenues shall come from in case of no tariff changes, it is generally re- ported that they plan to make the in- creases on corporation profits.
 In general it is said, Mir. McAdoo's sug- gestions are being closely followed

 Attorney General Martin says he has discovered some points of resemblance, from legal point of view, between the case against Sheriff Batson and the Ca- zalas case, where the sheriff of Mobile county was impeached because of alleged acts of his deputies who permitted a pris- oner to be taken from the jail by a mob.
 C. A. Stickle, a special commissioner. appointed by the supreme court to take testimony in the Batson case, began work at Birmingham Monday. Attorney Gem eral Martin left Monday afternoon for ths metropolis of Jefferson to represent the state at the commissioners hearings.
