SOLDIER BOYS LEAVE.

The six soldier boys who were home
on ten day leave Of absence left for
regimental headquarters at Boise Mon
day morning. They do not expect to re.
main there long but will soon depart for
Camp Green at Charlotte, N. G. where
they will be mobilized and later sent to
France for the finishing touches before
going into the trenches to face the Ger
mans. The boys had good time while
here. Their many friends were mighty
glad to see them come but disliked to
see them go. They are a jolly light
hearted bunch of young men and are
going forth in answer to our country's
call. When they left us last Monday
morning they were the merriest OF us
all and it is our prayer that they with
their fellows who went from here, may
return just as happy. The fathers and
mothers of these lads are and should be
proud to have such sons and no nObler
thing can be said of them than they are
offering their lives for their country.

FARMERS ARE DISAPPOINTED OVER
PRICE DECIDED ON FOR WHEAT
NO EXPLANATION OF WHY
WE ARE AT WAR NEEDED

All this talk about explaining
why we are in the world war
should be cut out. No loyal citi-
zen is demanding any such ex-
PLANTATION, and those who question
our right to take up arms in such
conditions are traitors to the gov
ernment and not entitled to even
the courtesy of reply. The time
for explanations and excuses has
gone by. It's fight to the finish
now. Those who are not with us
are against us, and deserve no
more consideration than the armed
foemen our soldiers will soon be
at war with in the trenches.

ITALIAN DETECTIVE AR
RESTED MAN WHO HAD
THREATENED LIFE OF
PRESIDENT

PITTSBURGH, April 90
Charged with making threats
against the President, Arthur
Gross, aged 26, of Noblestown
road, Grafton Heights, was ar
rested last evening by United
States Secret Operative Gabriel

son before he would go to war.
He was lodged in the Central po-
lice station and will be given a
hearing tomorrow afternoon be-
fore United States Commission
er Roger Knox.
The remarks that the accused
man is alleged to have made are
as follows: 'Tf | have to go to
war, I will fill President Wilson
full of holes first. Before I go
to war I will buy my own powder
and shells and make my own am
munItion and will fire on anyone
who comes to take me-"
According to Secret Service
Operative DiFiore, Gross, when
arrested, denied the charges but
did admit that he had said he

ment and that if he was given a
chance he would fight for Ger
many.

SKIRTS NO SHIELD FOR
WAR SLACKERS; MUST
SERVE ANYWAY

WASHINGTON, April 20
The hundreds of young men who
rushed to the marriage license
bureaus when it was learned
that married men were to be ex-
empted from military duty are
to have their plans for nothing.
The war department today
ruled that all men who have
been married since the declara-
tion that a state of war existed,
viii be liable to military duty
just as the single men are.
The ruling came from the de-
partment after receipt of re-
ports from all parts of the Uni
ted States, which say that the
men undoubtedly were rushing
into marriage in order to escape
military duty.

Revolt of Germans In
Three Brazilian States
Rebels Are Reported to Be Strongly Armed Even to
Artillery Break Out In Three States With
German Population Of 100000
ATTEMPT TO DYNAMITE BRIDGES

BUENOS AIRES, April 49,
The great German population in
at least three states in Brazil,
Rio Grande, Parana and Santa
Catharine, has revolted.
The German population in
these states is estimated at 5OO,-
900.
The Brazilian censorship is
very tight and few details of the
revolution could be obtained.
Uruguayan dispatches today
declared the Germans had al
ready attempted to dynamite
the railraod bridge at Santa
Maria.
The government of Rio Grande
province was said to be concen-
trating it's strongest and most
loyal troops to oppose the rebels
at Porto Algre. In the mean
time the Uruguayan govern
ment is massing it's troops on
the frontier, fearing the Ger
mans may invade Uruguay.
Officials were quoted in the
Montevideo dispatches as assert
ing their belief they will be able
to withstand all raids. The Bra
zalian Germans were known to
have been preparing to move
against Uruguay. Their prefer
ence was for occupation of Chile
which country is rich in nj
trates and therefore desirable in
war-but Chile was too great a
distance for their base.
Brazil has a strict censorship
in force now and it was impos-'
sible to obtain complete verifca-
ton of the revolt or of what
steps the Brazilian government
had taken to quell it.
From the very start of Bra
zil's crisis with Germany the
greatest apprehension had been
expressed as to the course the
republics very large German
would adopt. More
than 10 days ago dispatches
said that under cover of needing
troops to avert an outbreak in
an old boundary dispute between
two Brazilian states the govern
ment had dispatched very strong
forces to the states where the
Germans were most numerous.
