NOT SOLDIER But

Carl tsunard Anderson Gels Into Iron.
BILE at Camp Grant for Appearing
in Warrior Garb.

Carl Gunard Anderson of Moline,
had an idea that he would make q
stunning picture in one of Uncle
Sans uniforms So one day while in
Rockford he procured an outfit and
posed for a picture He liked the
khaki so well that he arranged in
some way To. wear the uniform several
days. He was proud of the uniform of
a soldier and he stepped out quite a
bit to show the natives OF Rockford
how well he looked.
One day man with a serious look
on his face placed his hand on Ander-
sons shoulder and took him to Camp
Grant. A court martial was held and
Anderson was incarcerated IN the
guardhouse on a charge Of being d de-
serter from the army.
Anderson had registered in Moline,
but he had lost his registration card.
An officer Wrote to Clerk Coburn OF
the Moline exemption board, who ex-
onerated the young man. But this did
not happen until three weeks after
the arrest Of Anderson and the Young
man was confined ali that time.
This morning Anderson was given
8 copy OF his registration card by
Clerk Coburn, He declared that he
did not know there was penalty
against wearing the uniform OF sol
der before being indicted iato the
military service, and he said he would
never don the khaki until he was ID
Camp Dodge, where he Will be sent
when he IS called In the draft.

NO ACTION TAKEN
|. ON CAR PROTESTS
Mayer Carlson Says ii Government
Doesn't Rescind Order Within
u Hours Public WIN Kick.

IF that order isn't suspended In "a
hours there will be a big howl from
the public" said Mayor Martin r. Carl
son. Moline. this morning relative TO
the mandate from Washington COM
Wandering five extra street cars for
the exclusive use Of ordnance workers
in the Root & Van Deryoort plant,
East Moline.
The mayor admitted that up to noon
today the government had taken no
action on his plea that the order be
suspended temporarily until a confer
enee OF street car officials, city COM
mission and factory heads could be
held to consider the matter. Mayor
carlson wired both United States SEN
ators from this state, Franklin Roose-
welt, acting secretary of the navy, and
Congressman W. J. Graham, urging an
investigation into the Objectionable
rule which he says is an unfair dis
elimination and a decided Gripping of
the car service for Moline workmen in
East Moline. Congressman Graham In
his reply promised personal inyesti-
cation at Washington.
Officers Of the Tri-City Railway com
pany are also working for a revision
Of the order. D. ]. Denman, president,
said today he is still endeavoring to
have the various manufacturing con-
Germs change their working hours,
(which would tend to relieve the con-
gestion during the rush period and
save fuel as we'll.
We have asked the secretary OF
the navy and other government off,
cials in Washington to suspend the
order requiring US to put five addi-
/ tiOnal cars on for the r. & V. en-
ployes.' he said, Il confidently be-
| lieYe that If the powers that be in
Washington leave their hands off, we
/ will be able TO work this thing out
locally to the satisfaction of all con-
/ cerned
For the government to issue such
/ an order I believe is unfair to the
other manufacturers and to the COM
munity. 1t would seem that someone
has acted without giving full censid-
GRAFTON TO local conditions. With only
! 20 cars available, it seems an injus-
] tice that five of them should be COM
/ mandeered for one firm"

Serbia does not exist and that the

"A member Of the Serbian chamber
Of deputies was here yesterday and

family still in Serbia. One Of the
boys had already been killed. The
second boy had been ordered to be-
come a Bulgar soldier The mother
protested, whereupon she was sent TO
Nish and put IN prison. where she
went crazy. Meantime the boy or
dered to become a Bulgar soldier had
escaped TO the mountains and a price
has been placed on his head. This
experience in the family Of the Serb

we are hearing Of from all

we have received full details of
the revolt which the Serbian peasants
remaining in the country directed
against this Bulgar oppression" the
minister continued. This has come

The revolt was really a revolt Of wo-
men-of the Serbian mothers, wives
and sisters-in frantic protest
against having their sons, husbands
and brothers forced into the BuIgaT
ranks to fire on Serbian soldiers. THIS
women's movement became so threat

was sent to quell it, When this failed
two Bulgar divisions were sent against

Sending their troops against the We

Then these wives and mothers were
formed in ranks, placed ahead Of tbs

"Y0u young men Of the Dog society,
you said TO me,
When I 90 to the east on d war
party. you viii hear news OF
how brave I am;
/ have heard news OF you;
When the fight was on, you ran and
hid,
And you think YOU are a brave young
man
Behold you have joined the Dog So
ciety;
Therefore, call you just plain dog!"
| This is one Of the songs composed
] by the maidens as they sat in the
corn fields knitting with porcupine
| quilts garments for the warriors. ac-
cording TO Buffalo Bird Woman, Pro

and the movements Of their arms as
they worked, frightened away the
crows which would carry off grain
