Germans Resort to

Melbourne. Australia. June IL. -
Major General James Gordon Legge,
chief of the Australian general staff,
who left Australia in May, 1915, to
command the first Australian divi-
sion at the Dardanelles and subse-
quently served with distinction on
the Gallipoli peninsula and in north
ern France, said on his recent return
here from the western front:
Il am convinced that the German
resistance will be broken by June,
and 1 hardly think that the war will
last another year. The duration of
the German resistance after the main
line is broken can only be guessed
at. Once Germany is beaten on the
western front Turkey and Austria
will soon cry enough and collapse
like a house of cards"
General Legge said that the wealth
er and the mud had all along been
q greater obstacle than the Germans
on the western front and had pro-
longed trench fighting.
Speaking of German warfare. he
said that on the western front "on
undoubted evidence" he was shown
barn doors which bore marks indi-
eating that men had been crucitied
upon the doors with bayonets; that
he saw evidences at certain places
that children's brains were wantonly

Labor Combines With
Congress For Food Law

Washington, June 11.-Following
a conference with Herbert Z. HooV-
er, selected by President Wilson TO
head the new food administration,
an organization was affected by rep
,resentativeS of the American tede-
ration of Labor, the four railroad
brotherhoods, the National Fed
leration of Postal Employees and the
Labor group" in Congress, for a
tconcerted drive upon Congress TO
demand the immediate adoption OF
food legislation.
AS one of the first steps a delega-
ton OF twenty, headed by Samuel
IGompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and including
REPRESENTATIVES of almost every
branch of organized labor, called
fupon President Wilson at the White
House this afternoon, at AIS o'clock,
sand laid their case before him in de-
tail. They will ask the President TO
bring every pressure to bear upon
Congress to pass the food admins
tration bill as the surest way to pre-
vent serious unrest in this coun-
try.
As the slogan of their campaign to
obtain quick action from senators
and representatives the labor men
will use a quotation made by Mr..
Hoover when he talked matters over
with them last night at an executive
session, and outlined his plans. He
then said:

SQUARE DEAL
TEDDY'S PLAN
Former President Tells Rail.
readers How to Serve
Country

Philadelphia, Pa, June II. - The
man who refuses to risk his body
for America should lose his vote,
Theodore Roosevelt told 5000 cheer
ing Philadelphians yesterday in a
momentous address on the problems
which face the United States at war.
The former president, in the most
comprehensive speech he has mace
since America went to war on the
Hun, reused the enthusiasm of the
great crowd massed in the Metro
politan Opera House, by his scath-
ing suggestions to test the conscience
of the Conscientious obJector.
Guest OF RailroaderS
He was here as the guest or the
five great railroad brotherhoods, the
orator at their annual memorial SER
vices for railroad men, who nave
given their lives at their posts. Ana
he made them an example to the ma
ton for a spirit in this war when
will place duty above hazard ana
service above sacrifice.
He demands for America demo
cratic national army on the trench
system fcE this war and the iuture:
a preparedness in every activity OF
national life for now and the future
He urged as a permanent pohcy
a system of selecting officers Tor TINS
national army from the rank ana
file. He said every man must nave
an equal chance and have no ad-
vantage through wealth to become
an American army officer. His call
for the square deal in picking the
commanders of Americas soldiers
brought a wave of applause ana
cheers from his great audience.
II was the conscientious OBJ
jector" that he put to the test tor
the benefit of the country yesterday
He proposed as the test for the OBJ
jector: Does he object to killing or
to being killed."
There are a few CONSCIENTIOUS
obiectors, 1 don't doubt, though l
haven't known many who were con-
scientious," he said.
IF a man won't expose his body
in war, if l had my way, l Wouluh |
let him vote whether my sons
should. If he is too CONSCIENTIOUS
to fight for the flag, I am too con-
scientious to have him vote where
the flag shall go. .,.-.
And he pointed ways of finding
service for the objector. He sug-
gested mine sweeps as the best place
for them.
"If he objects to killing men, ne
should not have a gun, but he can
object to running the same risk OF
being killed as the man who has the
gun. !. .
I'D put him in the navy where he
would be employed in mine sweep
ing. There is no danger of killing
any one. and he may be killed. But
if he is a success as a mine sweeper,
he removes a menace to the lives OF
other men,
]. c. Mcdonald, representing the
+rainmen. said the brotherhoods
were a unit in their eagerness TO
assist the government in any way
within their power. We will gladly
suspend any law of our organization
if President Wilson requests it, he
declared, "in order that all the in
strumentalities of this nation may be
used for the common cause, that OF

Action Will Be Taken
Soon Against Slackers

Reports have been received by
Sheriff w. w. Caldwell that several
slackers in various districts of the
county have not registered. Until
orders are received Sheriff Caldwell
will not take any action. Similar re-
ports of slackers in the city could not
be verified, and members of the city
draft boards declared they believed
there were none in the city who re-
fused or evaded registration.
Two men, one deaf, were register
ed to-day by city boards; and one
colored man by County Clerk Ed. H.
Fisher. Copying of duplicate cards
for the county was completed late
