WILL ROUNDUP THE
MILITARY SLACKERS
Government Will Gather in All
Those Who Are Evading Mill
tary Service.

Washington, Oct. 2-The govern
ment has evolved complete plan for
rounding up thousands of men who
have evaded military service. Amaz-
ing success is already attending the
efforts. Hundreds of arrests have
been made and the scheme has now
progressed to point where it is
dragging out of hiding places scores
of evaders every day.
The war department and depart
ment of justice are cooperating in
the work. Local police authorities
are. assisting. The work has been
divided into two classes. The depart
ment of justice has been assigned the
task of arresting the men who failed
to register for military service, the
war department that rounding up the
men who registered and were ac-
cepted and then failed to report for
entrainment, according to the orders
of the local boards. The local police
IN every city are assisting each de-
partment, while scores of patriotic
societies have investigators aiding in
the work.
1t has been found that the number
who failed to register runs far into
the thousands. These persons when
apprehended are subject to trial in
the civil courts. The men who failed
to report after having been drafted,
however, will be hailed before court
martial and tried under military law.
General Crowder today declared
that every provision had been taken
to apprehend men who failed to an
swer their call to the colors or who
were attempting to escape from the
cantonments after the mobilization.
"The number which failed to report
when the first per cent was called
out was negligible" he said. Gre
ports are not complete on 40 per
cent now proceedings to the can
tonments.
I'VE are offering a reward of $50
for the arrest or information leading
to the arrest of each one of these
men. The local police are doing
good work in this respect"

BY U. S. GRAND JURY
Charged With Several Offenses
Against This Country While
Engaged in War.
TRIAL LIKELY THIS WEEK
Government Alleges Boards News
paper Articles Hindcrcd
War Preparations.

Greenville, Oct. "A true bill was
returned here today by the federal
grand jury against w. p. Beard, of
Abbeville, charging him with viola
ton of the act Of Congress Of June
10, 1917, because Of an article it is
alleged he caused to be published in
The Scimitar, a weekly paper owned
AMI controlled by him and published
at Abbcville.
The indictment brings charges
against the defendant on three
counts. On the first count it is
charged that the defendant, w. p.
Beard, "did unlawfully, wilfully and
feloniously make and convey false
reports and false statements while
the United States was at war with
the Imperial German Government
with the intent to interfere with the
operations and success Of the United
States against her enemies"
1t is alleged in the Indictment that
the Abbeville editor made such state
ments in an article published in The
Scimitar some time ago captioned
'The Great Fizzle," before this pub
llcation was denied the use of the
mails.
The second count charges Beard
with "attempt to cause imsubordina-
ton, disloyalty, mutiny and refusal
of duty in the military and naval
forces of the United States" by
statements made in the article re-
ferred to.
The third count charges that the
defendant "injurcd and obstructcd
the recruiting and enlistment service
OF the United States because of false
statements in said article"
Beard will probably be tried here
on the above charges within the next
few days.

NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM THE RED CROSS

Washington, Oct. What is be-
ing accomplished by the American
Red Cross for the children of France
is indicated in the following cable
just received from Major Grayson
M. p. Murphy Red Cross Commits
soner to France:
"The medical work for children
which the American Red Cross has
undertaken at Toul had it's formal
opening in the presence Of the pre-
feet Of the Department, two Generals
of the French Army, the Senator Of
the Department and several Amcri-
can doctors and nurses. The French
and American flags were raised in
front of the new brick barracks given
by the French government for the
chlldrcns refuge. The Project warm
~ thanked the American Red Cross
for its help with the children.
"The new staff, consisting of sew
cral specialists in childrcn's diseases
ana fifteen nurses and aides, are at
work under the direction Of DR.. Scd-
gwick, Professor of Pcdiatrics in the
University of Minnesota. A large
district back Of the lines at that point
has been forced to remove all chill
drcn to places Of greater safety, and
several hundred children at pompcy
and Fouard, the towns nearby which
are under almost constant bomb at
tack, have been examined and are be-
ing removed from their refuge in
caves to the ASilc at Toul as quickly
as possible.
"Thc work of the infirmary cstab-
lished by the American Red Cross
has been greatly augmented by the
gift of Childrcn's Hospital from
an American Committee. This hos
pital of eighty beds is already being
equipped, and will become the center
of the American Red Cross welfare
work for the entire Department at
Meurthc ct Moselle, work heartily
endorsed by the Prefcct of the De
partment.
The need of such work is over
"helmlng, and the American Red
Cross is directing from this center at
Ioul an educational CAMPAIGN on
Child Hygiene and Preventive Meas
ures that is reaching all the villages
and big refuge asylums for children
at Nancy and Pompey and other
neighboring towns"

Representatives From Ten Cotton
States Adopt Resolution Con-
corning 1917 Crop.
DABBs WORKED FOR 35 CENTS
Committee to Confer With Hover in
Washington Regarding Seed
Prices.

New Orleans, Oct. "A price of
thirty cents pound to the farmer
was agreed upon at a meeting here
late today of men interested in mar
keting and growing Of cotton in ten
Southern States as being justified by
the present selling prices of manu-
factured cotton products. The price
was suggested in an amendment to a
resolution adopted just previously
which declared against price regula-
tion of cotton by Congress or dele
eating the authority to any other
body.
Although the amendment, intro
duced by L. B. Jackson, director of
the Georgia Bureau of Markets, met
with some little opposition, it was
recognized as a compromise measure
and was almost unanimously adopted.
Unsuccessful efforts to have the
amendment read 35 instead of so
cents were made by e. w. Dabbs, of
Mayesville, S. C.; w. B. Yeary, of
Farmville, Texas, and Peter Radford,
of Austin, Texas, led the movement to
secure thirty cent minimum.
Following the advice of John NJ
Parker, State food administrator, the
delegates adopted a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of COM
mittee of seven to confer in Wash
ington with Herbert Hoover, federal
food administrator, regarding cotton
seed prices.
Resolutions also were adopted en-
dorsing Edward S. Butler, of New
Orleans, as member of the federal ex-
ports board and endorsing the move
ment to have bales Of cotton stand
ardized throughout the cotton belt by
making them of the uniform size of
fifty-four inches long by twenty
seven inches wide.
While many delegates early today
advocated holding of cotton for mini
mum prices ranging from thirty to
forty-two cents, general sentiment
during the afternoon was against
such action. Addresses by Senator
Ransdell, State Food Administrator
Parker and William B. Thompson,
president of the New Orleans Dock
Board, opposed the fixing of a mini
mum price. Growers were urged by
Senator Ransdell and Mr.. Thompson
to- hold their cotton, market it Judi
ciously and if necessary borrow
money on it in storage Mr.. Parker
said he knew of no effort to place
cotton under federal CONTROL
The sessions today were attended
by cotton growers, State commission
ers of agriculture, directors of mar
keting bureaus, officers of farmers
unions, farmers, merchants and bank
ers from ten Southern cotton-krow-
ing States all of whom assembled to
consider cost of producing the 1917
cotton crop and decided upon advis-
ability of setting minimum price
for which the staple should be held
by the growers. John A. Simpson,
president of the Oklahoma, Farmers
Union, of Weatherford, was chair
man, and James A. Wade, commits
sioner of agriculture Of Alabama,
was secretary.

Comments on Work at
Port Royal.

balheIC, commandment OF the marine
corps, authorizes the following state
meAt in connection with the resign
lnent of Brig. Gen. John G. lie Jcune,
for the last three years assistant to
the commandment at marine headquar-
ters here, to command at marinchrd
tcrs here, to command the marine
cantonment at Quantico, Va.
"Gen. lie Jeune left the position of
senior assistant to the major general
commandant at his own request, as
he wished duty with troops. The
command at Quantico will give him
an opportunity to serve with quite a
large number of troops and he will
find full scope for his ability.
"The cantonment at Quantico, and
similar one at Paris Island, Port
Royal,) S. c., were started about
three months ago, each built to house
about 1000 men.
The barracks are built with spec
ial reference to sanitation on plans
suggested by the Medical Department
of the navy. The sewerage system
is as complete as it should be in anv
city of 1000 inhabitants. The light
ing, of course, is by electricity. The
water is obtained from numerous
wells and pumped into concrete tanks.
Dormotories are vult to hold SEVENTH
five men each
each company has its mess hall,
company kitchen, and toilets with hot
and cold water for shower baths. The
camp is divided into one part for in
fantry, one for artillery, and another
for officers school. The whole can
tonment contains $50 buildings. II
includes a good sized structure built
by the Y. NJ. G. A., and another large
amusement room capable of seating
over 1000 men.
"Thc transportation is entirely mo-
tor transportation, principally four
wheel drive trucks and specially con-
structed for artillery. An infantry
and artillery range is being con-
structcd The infantry range will be
ready for use in about a week. The
whole tract comprises about 5000
acres of varied ground. About a
mile back Of the camp a very COM
plcte set of trenches and wire en-
tanglements have been made by each
battalion.
The Paris Island Camp.
"The cantonmcnt at Paris Island is.
in a general way, similar to the one
at Quantico, except that it is divided
into detention camp, manocuvcr
field, target range, and main canton
ment. All recruits east of the Miss
lsslppl river are sent to Paris Island
for training. They are fitted out at
the detention camp, and after three
weeks there are sent to the manocu-
yer camp and target range. After
finishing their drills at the manoeuver
camp, they are sent to the main can
tonmcnt and, just before being ready
to leave for regular duty, they re
port at the main station.
