LOVE OF FAMILY
AND PATRIOTISM
THIS MANS CREED
H, G, Bedinger, Minister and
Single, Seeks to Replace
Brother Subject to Early Call
of Country

Out in Inman Park there lives a fam
lily in which there are three sons, a
daughter, widowed mother and one of
the sons wives. Each of the sons has
registered for military service. and IT
seems that the married son is quite
near to being called while another of the
sons, single man and a minister, is
near the bottom of the list The third
son is now a student aviator.
H. G. Bedinger, the minister, whose
serial number is so far down that 1t
would take many calls to reach him,
has addressed letter to the local board
for division No. asking that he be al
lowed to change places with W. E.
Bedinger. his married brother, who rs
further up. He explained that two OF
the three brothers were going to give
Uncle Sam their services, but one would
have to claim exemption so as to remain
at home and care for the women folks
in the family. He declared that as his
brother W. E., was married, he thought
1t only right that he should be the one
to stay at home while the other two
went to war. Thus he offered to take
his place on the registration list.
Members of the local board said Tues
day that the selective service law spe-
officially forbids substitutions in the
national army, but that If H. G.. should
now volunteer, making two of the broth
ers already in the armed forces of the
country. w. E., being a married man
with his mother also depending on him
and two brothers in the army, would
have an exemption claim that could
hardly be denied. The brother now

canning industry. but they are taking all
possible steps to encourage il, for In

has passed a resolution putting into
effect a curfew law under which all per-
sons under the age of eighteen years
must keep off the streets after $3.50
o'clock at night, unless accompanied by
parents or guardian. The resolu ton
was passed at the request of the police,
who claimed that a number of young
boys spent the entire night on the
streets.
In this connection, Mayor Wood urged
the police to wage real war on va
grants. This is no time for a man to
be without a job" said Mayor Wood.
and he added that Dalton was no place
for such a man. The vagrant must
either go to work or move out and that

WARS DECISIVE BATTLE
EXPECTED NEAR ARRAS
BY MILITARY CRITIC

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, April II.
The military expert of the
Berlin Nossische Zeitung
considers that the battle Of
Arras will prove the decisive
battle of the war.
1t was foreseen, he says,
that the enemy would not
try to break through on the
Somme, as the basis for any
such attempt had been re-
moved by Won Hindenburg's
strategic retreat. The Ger
mans, however, had been
guided by the theory that
with the strength in war ma
terial possessed by the allies
they could not afford to re-
main quiet. Consequently
everything possible was done
bv the Germans to strength
en- the Arras line, and a sur
prise there was impossible.
The expert adds that it
must be borne in mind that
the course the operations
have taken was not desired
by the hostile command.

Friends of Frederick Reuter-, acting
German vice consul in Juarez, who was

leased. He is said to be held under the
section Of President Wilson's proclama-
tion which prohibits Germans from
leaving the country. Reuter- insisted
upon crossing to Juarez each day from
his home in Ell Paso to attend to the
business of the German vice consulate
After having been warned he was taken
into custody.
No charge has been filed against him
Other Germans in JuareZ have been
warned to remain there. including Mrs

Speed of British Drive
Thorough Surprise to

BRITISE r HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE. April 10, via London. April II.
The speed and power OF the British as
sault in what probably will be known in
history as the battle of Arras seem to have
thoroughly surprised the Germans. So
much so, in fact, that their usual re-
taliatory artillery fire has been abso-
lutely negligible in the last two days
This IS partly due, of course, to the
number Of guns captured, TO which
must be added the number knocked out
by the British artillery before the ac-

Secretary McAdoo told the ways and

was confident such would be the case
He based his optimism upon applica-
tions already received from many
sources. ranging from the greatest
financial institutions of the country
down through trust companies, mu-
inequalities and even trustees of school
funds.
The view of leaders on both sides of the
House is that the first step in the war to
be taken by this country is to loan the
allies money. The objection which might
be raised by some that England and
France VIII get money from the United
States at 3le per cent while they have
been paying and even per cent must
be waived in the present circumstances
The time for division will come, it was
said when the tax bill providing the new
taxes is brought in and when the sub
JectS of the draft and sending of troops
abroad come up

many by supplying and feeding the allies.
Problem for Congress.
How the men thus to be drilled are

or forced enlistment, is the problem to
be worked out In the immediate future
in Congress.
Further evidence of the spirit of har-
mony over the bond bill was manifested

port 1t to the House.

be practical unanimity upon the pro-

implies speedy passage of the money
