Fake Assassin Business In
New Russia Made Profitable

of Yakutsk Smirnoff levied tribute
and was presented with bouquets.
An unkindly inquirer discovered
that Odessa had never a governor
named Ivanoff, and further that Cath
crime Smirnoff had posed in Odessa
as Sister Of Mercy and after swind-
ling seventy charitable citizens had
been expelled by the military authori-
ties.
Denounces General
In the same city healthy young
man who described himself as a SOL
der volunteer arrested in the street
the invalid ex-governor, General Pill
liu. Before a sympathetic crowd he
denounced the general
Il am the innocent and unhappy
man whom you seized" he exclaimed,
1.-The peaceful citizen whom you sent
to a convict prison without trial Our
committee has ordered you to be sent
to the front, but in view of your bad
health we shall show some mercy"
In vain General Pilliu explained
that he had never seized any innocent
man. He was hauled by the mob to
the militia office. The Odessa drey-
fuss meantime collected money and
fed. The militia at once released the
general From Siberia, which Rus
sian proverb described as the land
of credulity," similar cases are re-
ported.

PETRoGRAD, August 9.-(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press)-
Among the novelties which Russia's
revolution has presented to the world
is the profession of fake assassin.
In other countries only persons suf-
fering from Authorizations claim to
have committed murders of which
they are innocent. Here, as a result
OF Nicholas overthrowal, posing as an
assassin is a highly profitable or
transitory branch of business
Terrorists released from Siberian
convict jails and exile villagers are
naturally made heroes of. They are
given free train accommodation, free
dinners, free clothes and gifts of
money. When they reach their ma
tive towns they are acclaimed as
martyrs of liberty; and they receive
proposals of marriage from wealthy
young women.
Women Pose, too
AS result of this novel condition
many enterprising citizens whose
hands are innocent of anything grim
mer than mud or ink are posing as
murderers of despotic officials Wo-
men as well as men are entering the
profession.
In Minsk has been arrested Gather
inc Smirnoff, who announced that she
had murdered M. Ivanoff, governor of
Odessa, and described with pathos
her sufferings in the Arctic wastes

OLD ARMY CORPS
Plan REVIVAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Decision OF
the war department to abandon the
army division of $4,000 men in favor
of the continental unit OF about 10000
troops was due, it was said today. to
changes in modern warfare that made
the old command unwieldy and
cumbersome in trench fighting The
di,tsion under the old system was rot
sufficiently mobile "for the peculiar
needs of fighting on the western
front"
Under the new plan. a division will
include two infantry brigades of two
regiments each, instead of three bri-
gades of three regiments each as for
merly. The artillery and machine gun
strength is materially increased, the
cavalry regiment now prominent
part of the unit. is eliminated, new
trench mortar battery is added. and
the old army corps plan abandoned
after the civil war is again revived.
Provost Marshal General Crowder is
today working out final details of reg
ulations governing the mobilization
schedule of the men selected under
the selective draft law. The complet-
ed plans will indicate how each man
drafted is to be assigned.
The next general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church will be
held May. 1918, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Looking for Farm Hands in the City

Men who can milk are scarce in the New
England states that members of the Connecticut
Agricultural College are in New York trying to
obtain men at $50 to $40 a month with good
board.
The lure of the city and the high wages paid
in the munition factories have attracted the farm
boys. It seems strange that farmers and dairy
men are recruiting employees in the greatest GEN.
ter of population in the United States.
One of the professors, after reviewing the
conditions under which the men would have to
work, said he felt sure that he could obtain ten
men out of the mil ions in New York.
Perhaps he may, but the chances are that the
young men who went to New York to escape farm
work will not accept his overture N

Joining the National Army

Wayne county men are answering the call OF
the draft boards with good grace
They are accepting the call of their country
with spirit indicative of willingness to serve
Those who have filed exemption claims have
done so in good faith, and the boards have ac-
copied them in the same spirit.
No disgrace attaches to an honest claim for
exemption. A man cannot fight with stout
heart If he feels that his dependents at home are
fighting hard battle to keep away starvation.
The government has indicated plainly that it
does not desire men whose wives solely de-
pendent upon them for support If these men
are taken, the government will be compelled to
support their families.
A mans highest duty, according to the gov
ernment's viewpoint, is to support his depend
ents.

Guard will carry three machine guns
and was purchased at cost of $4,000.
