Oh Everett True, dear Everett True,

To bash the Kaiser and baste the crew
OF frenzied junkers who've waded

Vast seas Of blood with the end in view

It wouldn't be long ere the rosy hue

anew
And the Hohenzollerns be knocked

OF course the chances for that are few

OuQkers Will Go to Jail Rather
Than to Camps; Says Nicholson;
Government Hit For Conscription

There are a few, however, who feel
that 1t is their duty to go to war" he
says. 1.-TWO Of my brothers served in
the Civil war. However, most OF the
young men will be true to the history
and teachings Of the church and re-
fuse to serve in military camps, al
though they may be relieved from
actually carrying gun or saber."
Mr.. Nicholson says that the Friends
organization is already doing mon
combatant" work by organizing a re.
construction unit for the purpose of re-
lieving the results OF war. Other
units will follow he said
while we don't endorse war or a
battle we take the stand that, once the
battle has been fought, it is our duty
to relieve the resultant suffering as
much as we can. Friends cheerfu1ly
will do this kind Of service"
Statement Issued.
He issued statement setting forth
his views.
Mr.. Nicholson's statement follows:

Hundreds Of Quakers throughout the
United States will serve jail sentences
sooner than accept draft service, S. E.
Nicholson, editor of The American
Friend, official organ Of Friends, says.
President Wilson has ordered that
all Quakers selected for the new ma
tiona1 army be taken for service and
be assigned to ''non-combatant" duties.
Government Censured.
"Any work around an army camp is
regarded as combatant, by the Friends
organization" Nicholson says. q
think it is a mistaken policy on the
part of the government to assign mem
bers of the Friends churches to duty
around military camps. The Friends
have always been opposed to war and
the government, In the past. always
has recognized the beliefs Of the
church
Nicholson says his advice to any
member of the organization who has
been selected for service is carefully
to study the preaching of the church
for the last 200 years and then follow
his conscience" 10y

RUM0RS ARE DENIED

children will not be changed because
Of the recent letter of President Will

fact of marriage the basis for exemp-

According to DR.. Kruger and Sher-
iff Carr OF the board the fact of de-
tendency rather than that of mar

fore the married men, without chill

The same action will be taken in the
cases of the 16S men examined in the
second call, Tuesday DR.. Kreuger said.
The board agreed that wife could
support herself by her own labor and

At the time of writing the party had

green bananas, either boiled or baked.

so," writes a correspondent to one of

The paper in reply points out that
Kerensky is a young man of thirty,
but remarks that this face probably
