LET THEM WORK OR
 STARVE.
Albuquerque Journal)

There are nearly five hund- red members of the Industrial Workers of the World organ ized at Columbus, New Mex ico, who have been eating Un- cle Sam's food for the past two months and wish to continue to do so. There were nearly twelve hundred of them at the beginning.
 These were banished from Bisbee, Arizona, because they wouldn't work themselves and wouldn't allow other men to work for the highest wages paid in the United States. One of their leaders is in a New Mexico prison and will be held there on a presidential warrant as long as the war lasts. He is a German reservist, and stated while talking to what he pre- sumed to be sympathetic ears that the strike in the Warren district was part of general scheme to tie up copper mining in every section of the United States, thus depriving this country and the allies of the copper necessary for the manu- facture of munitions.
 Also it is now known that German money or money furn- ished in the interest of Ger many, is financing the activities of the l. w. w. in this country. The evidence on that point was furnished when the raid on var ious I. w. w. headquarters was made by federal authorities, the other day.
 Every ounce of food this country, can produce is requir- ed to feed the people of the United States and the nations engaged with her in war against, the German Empire Belgium needs all that this country can give. It has been stated that twelve dollars will save the life of a Belgian child for a year, buying it one dol lars worth of nourishment each month over what it other wise would have.
 For two months Uncle San has fed ah average of about eight hundred men at Colum bus, at an expense of about five hundred dollars a day, or a to- tai of thirty thousand dollars Every man of them was able tc work at job paying him no less than five dollars a day.
 The sum expended by the United States on these mer would have saved the lives o- 2,50O Belgian children for one year.
 Less than five hundred O. these Wont Workers are left a l Columbus, and they have beer informed that they must worl or starve. That information caused them to send insolen telegrams to the president anc

department OF justice authorities are
exerting every effort to stop anti-draft
activities. These activities have al
ready resulted in number Of arrests
in different parts Of the country, and
serious charges have been made
against all of the defendants. In addi-
ticn United States district attorneys in
every state in the union have announc-
cd they will prosecute relentlessly all

gerdless of whether or not they may

pouring into the war department in

ANOTHER DRIVE.
BY FRENCH MAY.
SOON Be OPENED.

NEW YORK, June 1.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day.)-Dispatches
from the French front today indicate
an early renewal of the Entente Of
fensive movement in that region, with
conditions seemingly more ripe for the
attack than at any time this sum
mer. The French now occupy more
advantageous positions than when they
started their offensive in April and
are constantly improving these by
small minor thrusts.
The British are again reporting gains
after a period in which only raiding
operations figured. The latest advance
gained was in the Cherish region, be-
tween Croiselles and Arras on the
Cambria road. During the big Arras
battle the British were reported as
having reached Cherisy, but were un-
able to hold the village, and they are
now pushing forward little to the
west of the position, evidently with
the object of enveloping it.

TWO NEW NAMES
TO Be PRESENTED
FOR JUDCEsA|P

Another move is about to be made in
the political game now being played
at the national capital relative to the
selection of successor to the federal
juGgesbip i'll the south Georgia dis
trict made vacant by the death of
Judge w. W. Lambdin.
The Macon Telegraph this morning
carries a news story containing sew.
eral interesting facts concerning the
complicated situation which has de-
yeloped The special correspondent
of the Telegraph writes as follows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 31.-The
white house, it was learned here to-
day, will within the next week again
open up the question of who is to be
the federal Judge for the southern dis
trict of Georgia in the place of Judge
Whipple, of Cordele, recently rejected
by the senate, because of the opposi-
ton of Senator Hardwick.
1t has been rumored here quite re-
Gently that this matter would again
take shape with all of the sidelights
that attended it about six weeks ago,
but it was not until today that the
Telegraph correspondent was able to
secure from man who is familiar
with the situation sufficient facts to
give the story
Barring the names of the parties
who will be nominated, the Telegraph
correspondents information is that the
president will again nominate some>
one for, the place. This nomination
will go through the regular channel
and will be opposed by Senator Hard
wick. After this is done, another
name will likewise be submitted, and
this also, will be rejected after it, too,
has gone through the regular chan
nels.
Just why the president will send to
the senate two nominations of this
kind, knowing in advance that Senator
Hardwick has indicated that he would
oppose them, is not known here. nor
was the Telegraph correspondents
informant willing to say why he be-
Iiaved this would be done. He was.
however, most insistent that he had
the facts and that both of the names
which would soon go to the senate
would be rejected because of Senator
Hardwick's opposition.
At the same time, the party who
gave the Telegraph correspondent
this information asked to be excused
from giving the names of these per
sons.
II will be seen from this that the
iudgesllip situation is most interesting
aid Georgia politics are to come to
the front again, although it seems that
the present move is peculiar.
