ALLINSON Gets
Term IN PRISON
Chicago Director to War Leaves
for Federal Penitentiary to
Serve Is Years.
He REvELED IN PUBLICITY
Was First Sentenced to Life Which
Was COMMITTED to Fifteen Years
Sublime Eeotism of Youth"
Cause of Young Mans Fall.

Rockford, ILL.,, July 31.-Brent Dow
Atkinson LETT for Fort Leavenworth pris-
on to serve 15-year sentence. He
was found guilty by a court-martial
at Camp Grant of resisting the United
States army draft. He was originally
sentenced for life. This sentence, how
ever, was commuted to 15 years. Col.
charles K. Rowland of the Three Hun
dred and Forty-third infantry presided
as president of the court-martial.
The sentencing of Atkinson, pacifist.
theorist, advanced thinker and ego
fist, came as the conclusion to some
six months of dubious publicity given
the collegian. His case attracted at
tention in Chicago, first because of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Allinson,
head of the Henry Booth Settlement
House. His eccentricities were re-
garded originally as the theoretical va
porings of misguided Youth. Allin-
sons persistence, however, in "defy-
ing" the theories of the war soon
placed more serious light on it.
In April Atkinson was called to serv-
ice. He was at the time scheduled to
take clerkship with the American le-
cation in Berne, Switzerland. The
young mans pacif1st utterances cost
him that berth, however. These ut
terances were otherwise overlooked by
the government. He was 'let alone"
and summoned to report at Camp
Grant on April 2. He failed to report
He became forthwith classed, tech
nically, a deserter. The "a hours
leave allowance likewise expired and
Atkinson became fugitive from mill
tary law.
While Chicago draft boards were
stirring matters up concerning the
young man, Atkinson popped up in
Washington. He appealed there as a
conscientious objector to be allowed to
join some non-combatant section of
the army. For a time his appeal
seemed ION the verge of being granted.
But when the facts came out it was
seen that Atkinson had failed to land.
After much discussion by the young
theOrist he was sent to Camp Grant.
Here he was given his final chance,
that of submitting to the draft law
and entering the army. He refused
this chance, standing by his original
idea that "war was wrong" and that
a man utterly opposed to the killing of
other men-Germans or not-shOuld
be allowed to remain behind the firing
line. He was placed in the guardhouse
pending his court-martial. All efforts
to turn young Allinson's opinion in the
matter failed. At his eourt-martial the
young objector defended" himself.
His defense earned him a life SEN
tence.

IGNORE PEACE OFFER
POSSIBILITIES OF CONFERENCE
DISCUSSED IN SENATE.
Lewis Warns Against anew Profess
sions of Peace and False
Propaganda"

Washington, July responsibilities
OF peace offensive were discussed in
the senate at the semi-weekly session.
All senators who spoke declared the
crushing defeat of Germany was nee
essary before peace negotiations could
be considered.
Senator Lewis of Illinois, Democrat
ic whip, warned Americans against
new professions of peace and false
propaganda" from Germany.
I'VE are not allured by 1t or de-
ceived by it," said he, declaring that
Germany's intent was to cause a de-
mand in this country and among the
allies for peace and enable Germany
to secure firmer grasp upon Russia
and the East for preparation of a huge
army to strike America later.
The German peace offer, Senator
Lewis suggested, ought to have been
Indignantly repudiated by Emperor
William, because it conflicts with his
boastings.
Senator Sherman of Illinois (Rep)
declared peace could only come by a
victory that would sweep the kaiser
and his counsellors out of power.
Senator Lewis declared America had
no intention in the plan for joint allied
operations in Russia except to block
Germany's plans to Prussianize the far
East.
That another peace offer from Ger
many is en- route through italian
sources also was stated by Lewis.

TO STOP LYNCHINGS
PRESIDENT ASKS "DISGRAcEFUL
EVIL" BE ENDED.
Declares Men Who countenance Mob
Rule Are Emulating Example
of Germany.

Washington, July 29.-President
Wilson placed lynchers squarely on
the side of Germany.
In stirring denunciation of mob
rule and plea to all Americans "to
make an end of this disgraceful evil"
he declared that any man who even SO
much as countenanced mob action is a
betrayer of American democracy and
adopts the Standards of the enemies
of his country, whom he affects to de-
spise."
The presidents statement, addressed
to "My fellow countrymen," was in
spired by the numerous lynchings of
which suspected pro-Germans were
the victims. 1t is understood, however,
that the lynching of Robert B. Praeger
at Collinsville, H., last April was re-
sponsible, more than any other for the
presidents appeal today.

WILSON FOR ARBITER ON ERIN
John Dillon, Nationalist Leader,
Makes Proposal in House-Asquith
Supports the Plea.

London, July 30.-In the debate in
the house of commons on his motion
regarding Ireland, John Dillon, the ma
tionalist leader, proposed the refer
ence of the question to President VIII
son.
Replying to Mr.. billions speech on

ireland, worked out with considerable
skill and knowledge. Instructions were
given, the secretary declared, as to
how to cut railways and destroy
bridges and communications, while ex-
plosives had been secretly imported.
Herbert Fl. Asquith, former prime
minister, appealed to the government
In the interests of the country, the en-
pire and the allies, to try again, even
at the eleventh hour, to find settle
ment of the Irish question.
