Of Army Service.
REYNOLDS NAN IS FIRST TO GO
Eugene ]. Waite WIN Soon Join Ord.
nance Corps at Augusta Arse
nal in Florida.

THE first man to be indicted into a
special branch Of the national army
service by the local exemption board
will be Eugene ]. Waite Of Reynolds.
Ill. Mr.. Waite is soon to be sent to
the Augusta arsenal. Augusta, Fla. to
Join the ordnance department.
Under the ruling which became ef-
fective Dec. Is. the board has the pow
er to send drafted men into special
branches Of the army service, after
their fitness has been determined and
the man has requested it. All of the
men thus far had been sent to Camp
Dodge, Iowa.
According to telegram received TO-
day no more indicted zen are to be
sent to the quartermaster's corps al
Camp Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla.
aviation section of signal corps, Kelly
department. The inference is thai
these camps are already filled and
no more can be accommodated. The
telegram further instructs that mer
already accepted for these camps be
held until further orders.
The local board has as yet received
no official order from Provost Marsha
Crowder with regards to acceptinf
only single men for service. bu/it Il
expected that the order will arrive
within the next day or two. The or
der will not change the activities O.
the local board, as the previous rul
ing ordered that single men be called
first under the QUESTIONABLE plan
The local board, too, hopes that sui
ficient number can be secured from
this class. 1t is not expected tina

married men already in service under
the draft law will be recalled.
Some corporations, mainly railroads,
are causing the board much trouble
by demanding of their employees that
the questionnaires be forwarded to
their division offices after being filled
out, Delays are encountered in this
way and the booklets are returned
late. In the case of one young man
today, who is employed by the Bur-
lington lines, he informed the board
that he was expected to mail his pa
pers to the division headquarters at
Galesburg after he had filled 1t out.
The board does not recognize the au-
thority Of corporations to enforce this
demand, but II the registrant so
chooses, he can do SO.
All Must Fill Blanks.
Some of the registrants, who are
not claiming exemption or deferred
classification, are under the impress
sion that they are not required to fill
out their questionnaires. A number
have asked the board this question
within the past few days. All regis
trants are required to fill out the
blanks, whether they claim exemption
or not. In cases where no exemption
| Is claimed, it Is q comparatively easy
matter to fill out the questionnaires.
/ The local board this afternoon
mailed out questionnaires to regis
trants numbering from 5000 to 1900
Tomorrow the numbers ranging from
5000 to $500 will be mailed out. The
last blanks will be mailed Jan. 8.

NAVAL RAID SEEN
AS START OF MOVE
TOBLOCK U-BOATS
Officials at Washington Have
Long Believed Submarines
Could Be Bottled Up

Washington, April 24.-American
naval officers await eagerly the full
story of the successful French Brit
ish naval blow against the German
destroyer and U-boat bases on the
Belgian coast. The impression pre-
walls here, supported by certain facts
regarding American naval prepara-
tions. that a carefully planned ma
val offensive against the U-boats has
begun, which is to be pressed vigor-
ously until the underwater raiders
are bottled up or checked to such an
extent that their operations will no
longer be a serious factor.
There is nothing to indicate that
the Navy Department had any ad-
vance information as to the opera
tions at Xeebrugge and Ostend. 1t
lis known, however, that officials here
have been anticipating developments
in the antisubmarine warfare with
in the next few weeks that would es-
ablish a definite check on the u
boats. American cooperation in this
effort is being extended in various
ways which cannot be disclosed.
1t has long been the belief of
many officers here that much could
be done toward bottling up the T.
boats at their source-their bases on
the Belgian coast.

was on the spot when the Germans
launched their first gas attack, wiping
out 10000 of the most gallant men in
the British Army. who at that time
had no protection from gas.
The object of this entertainment is
to secure funds for some athletic
equipment Camp Cody, at Gettys-
burg, has no Y. NJ. c. A. hut or any
other means of recreation, and these
men. who are rated as the best
trained "tankers" in the whole coun-

Some of the men who will speak have
had frightful experience in ambulance
units along No Mans Land, and as
many Harrisburgers have relatives

these folks in particular will respond.

SEDITIOUS WORDS
A VIOLATION OF
ESPIONAGE LAW
Free Speech Pleas TO Shield
Treasonable Talk Termed
idle and FlimSy"

Philadelphia, April 24-The United
states Circuit Court of Appeals in
this city yesterday responded to the
call of the country to stamp out pro-
German propaganda, sedition and
disloyalty, when Judge Burlington,
unequivocally supported by Judges
Mcpherson and woolleey, filed an
opinion, holding that mere verbal
statements if uttered for a sinister
purpose are violations of the espion-
age law. even though no injury re-
suits to the Government.
This decision is a death blow to
seditionists and preachers of disloy-
atty who have prSted about "the in
exorable right of zee sPeeca" and
vehemently protested that they can
not be imprisoned unless there is
positive proof that the Government
has been harmed by their statements
Judge Burlington waved aside such
contentious as idle and flimsy" and
pointed out that the espionage law
cannot be held ineffective until some
disguided member of the military
forces commits an offense, either in
this country or in France, as q re-
suit of seditious preachments.
Aids Campaign Against Propaganda
The ruling of the Court is regard
ed as strong supporting arm to the
Government in its campaign to rid
the country of pro-German propa-
ganda and the preachings of Social
lists and pacifists against the war.
Federal authorities have complained
that they are handicapped by made
quate laws, and some court decisions
that mere words" do not constitute
violation of the espionage law, but
the Appellate Court opinion by Judge
Burlington removes many of these
obstacles and widens the range of
power of the prosecuting officers to
arrest persons for preachings against
the Government.
All that the Government need
prove. according to Judge Buffing-
tons opinion, is that a person made
seditious or disloyal statements with
intent to interfere with its war
plans, and a conviction for violating
the espionage law will be sustained.
even if the Government has suffered
no harm.
