copied and republished for the pur-
pose OF giving the public a bird's-eye
view of the man and conditions be-
hind the pen. Evidently, the Ian.
guage portrays him in what may be
commonly termed, in very raw
condition. The editorial referred To
in the Peoples Defender was under
the heading Near Riot at the Ar,
kansas Baptist College" 1t is to be
admitted that if the occurrence did
not take place, and if there was moth.
ing to it whatever that the editorial
in question was enough to irritate
to a very high degree those directly
concerned. The editor of the Peo-
pies Defender did not assume the
responsibility for what happened, or
for the report, but there can lie no
reasonable doubt whatever but that
there was not a very hot time around
the institution. The things that
stings is that the Peoples Defender
got on to it and told the public about
it. Heretofore those in authority
have been able to smuggle and put
under cover their mischief and I'M
polished conduct, but such conditions
do not obtain any more since the
Peoples Defender man is on the
scene. The editor of the Peoples De-
fender asked the editor of the Van
guard when he without warrant put
the editor of the Peoples Defender
out of the editorialship of the Van
guard, whether or not he did not
think he was doing wrong, and
whether or not he did not think he
was putting out the wrong man. He
received as an answer that the
Vanguard had to- subserve the poll
cy Of the president of the college and
president of the State Convention.
Ever since that day the editor of the
Peoples Defender has been on his
trail letting the people know some
thing about his conduct.
There are two things about the
editorial excerpt about which we
would like to call attention. First,
is the language used by the president
in his little editorial, "wilful, infa-
nous lie." The editor of the Peo-
pies Defender has been saying all
along that he was not sufficiently
polished and did not have the real
ability to be the president of the in
stitution, and in these few little
words he demonstrates to the world
his incompetency. Being without
argument or decent language, or
proper sentiment of soul, he resorts
to the language of the commoner the
ruffian, the unpolished-"Wilful, in
famous leland thus sets up an en-
ample for all the school force to be
vulgar whenever they get in a CON
troversy with their fellows. The ex-
preston is simply the outcomings of
a bad heart. In all of the writings
of the editor of the Peoples Defender,
lie has never used language that was
tainted with vulgarity and ruffian-
ism. His contentious have always
Eeen right and just. and he has re.
sorted to only polished, heightened,
gentlemanly means to combat and
carry them through.
The second thought in the edito-
rial is that he invites you to inves-

PRESIDENT BOOKER GETS RAW.

"The editorial published last week
in The Peoples Defender CD all
based on the statement that of re.
ports are true" etc., is wilful, in
famous lie. Surely DR.. Gaines has
reached desperate straights and has
resolved to ruin himself in trying to
ruin others. In this case, as in hun
dreds of other cases, the President
invites investigation. But this is the
thing that DR.. Gaines does not take
the pains to give. He bases all his
u-boat attacks on his personal spite
and on If reports are true, etc. We
repeat: Come and See, If reports are
true "-Vdnguard.

As result base shipments to Russia and other points in the Far East, which would ordinarily go by way of New York, will be brought to the Pacific coast for delivery across the ocean.

TOOK MOVIE OF
 ICEBERG GIRL

JUNEAU, July 9, (By MaiD.-Dr. Leonard s. Sudgeon, who with party has been spending the past four weeks at Taku Glacier and vicinity, endeav- bring to get pictures of that stupen- dous ice river, returned last night and report a successful trip. The long time spent there was owing to the fact that perfect sunshiny weather IS nec- essary to take the colored pictures under the new process which is being used. But three and half days were experienced during the four weeks on which pictures could be taken.
 Dr. Sudgeon, Carl Winter, James B. Pond, E. P. Pond, Mir. and Mrs. CruicK- shank and Miss Grace Webster were in the party. Miss Webster posed for numerous pictures and took the lead in a picture story which was woven through the glacier scenes taken by the party.
 Miss Webster did splendidly," said Dr. Sudgeon this morning, and the pie lures will show her picking shasta dai- sies, wild roses and other wild flowers close to the face of the old glacier. She was equipped with maroon and white bathing suit and will be seen diving from the big bergs and swim ming in the icy waters around the face of the glacier. One feature pie ture taken will show Miss Webster as a modern Physice using a natural pool formed on an iceberg"

Piersol Describes
Baby Keet's Death
Abductor Declares Child
Was Poisoned by Sleep
ing Drug

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Dec 22.-Claude
G. Piersol, who was recently sentenced
to serve thirty-fve years in the Mis-
souri penitentiary for the abduction Of
Baby Lloyd Keet and now is charged
with the infants murder, has made a
confession TO Sheriff Ward Macke of
Webster County, the sheriff announced
tonight.
The confession implicated several
persons now under arrest and others
who have been mentioned from time to
time.
The kidnapped child died of poison
ing, according to PiersoPs alleged con-
fession, drug having been administ-
cred by Cne "Riley" to put the child
asleep and keep it quiet. Riley is
named by Piersol as the leader OF the
gang and the man who plotted the alb
duction, but he says man now under
arrest under the name of Riley and
held for the Springfield authorities is
rot the right Riley.
According 10 the signed confession,
Piersol admits his part in the abduc-
tion, but says it was Riley who climbed
into the window Of the Keet home
and took the baby. Riley handed the
child TO Dick Carter, according 10
iPersol, and the latter gave it TO a
woman, member Of the band. Pier
sol took an active part in the alb
duction, he admits, but declares he
at no time touched the child. He was
stationed at the Kect home, ne says,
with Cletus Adams, Make Adams, Dick
Carter and others he names who are
not now under arrest.
The baby was taken TO the deserted
Crenshaw house on country road
outside Springfield, and there, the CON
gession continues, iPersOl took food
for the child and guards the next day.
Picrsol denied knowledge of the
death of the child uneil after his ar
rest In the confession he says
member of the kidnapping band not un-
der arrest called on him at the county
Jail and told him of the administration
of the poison and the resultant death
Of the baby.
"Riley is going to throw it in the
we'll at the Crenshaw place. he says
the visitor told him.
Make Adams, seventeen years old
charged with the attempt to kidnap {.
A. Clement, and recently released from
Jail, was the first person to be arrested
as the result of Piersol's confession.
Twelve persons, including Make Adams
and Taylor Arams, held at Marshiield
and charged with the kidnapping, are
implicated in the abduction by the con.
fession, and warrants have been issued
for several.
The confession alleges other abduc-
tion plots were contemplated by the
gang. 1t was jlanned to kidnap j. Hol-
land Keet, father of the Kidnapped
child. at the time he paid the $4,000
ransom, Piersol says, and Z. L. Sanford,
of the Holland Banking
Company, and chairman of the State
Highway Commission, also was marked
as a victim.

into the euemy's lines. At Hartmanns-

inflicted severe losses.

tachment captured German trench ele-

German raids near BeZOnvauX, on
the Nerdun front, and west of Cernay,
i'm Alsace, were repulsed, according 70
the Paris communique. From ST. Quen-
tin TO the Swiss border the big guns
thundered throughout the day, under
favorable atmospheric conditions.
There was, however, less aerial activity
than usual.
An interesting feature of the fight
ing on the French front is the renewal
of the German bombardment Of
Rheims, on which 1l8 shells were fired

fered extremely from hostile lombard
ments. the Germans pouring on an

parties were repelled on the Cambria,

City of Naples Reaches Port
, After Striking Mine Abroad

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Decs22.-The
British steamship City of Naples. re-
ported few days ago to have been
sunk by submarine torpedo off the
British coast while under convoy Of
destroyers, arrived here to-day.
II was learned the vessel was not
attacked by a Uboat. but struck a
mine, and her officers. fearing she was
seriously damaged, put back to a Brit
ish port. There an examination of
the hull proved the effect of the eXplo-
sion was negligible and the ship re-
sumed her voyage.
An American vessel which was in
the same convoy with the City of Ma
pies brought the story of the British
ships supposed sinking. The accident
occurred on December 8. when the feet
was five days out from port.
