REFUSED TO STAND FOR NATIONAL ANTHEM
Boston Hotel Employe Also Made UncompIimentary Remarks About
 Stars and Stripes.

Boston, June 20-GuStav Linduuist a SWede, who is night telephone op- orator at the Hotel Somerset. went to downtown movie" theater yes terday prepared to spend a pleasant afternoon. But his plans went wrong, for it wasn't long before he was a prisoner in the hands of the federal authorities. And instead of presiding at the hotel switchboard last night, he occupied a cell at the East Cam bridge jail. Here's why:
 During the show The Star Spangled Banner" was played by the organist and the words of the anthem were flashed on the screen. Lindquist, out of the hundreds in the playhouse, alone remained seated.
 Stand up! Stand up." cried a score or more in various parts of the theater. But Lindquist didn't budge. Then, according to witnesses, Lind quist used some vile language which remarks were taken by the crowd to refer to Old Glory. The place was in an uproar.
 Lindquist tried to make a strategic retreat ,but allied reserves in the persons of several old time Ameri- = cans cut off his escape. He was halt ed by Q patrolman at the corner or School and Fremont streets, and, &C., companied by several who had been seated near him. he was escorted to the federal building. Assistant United States Attorney Dewey asked for a warrant for the man and he was for mally arrested under the espionage act, charged with making ScurrilouS remarks about the American flag.
 He pleaded not guilty before Com missioner Hayes and was held in $500 for 8 hearing tomorrow morn ing.
 At that. he got out of it lucky" was the angry comment of the wit nesses. Nearly every one in the the ater wanted to testify against him. apparently, for Prosecutor Dewey had word from small army during the late afternoon and evening.

ONLY WAY OUT 0F
 WAR THROUGH r
SeC'y Houston Calls on Public to
 Conserve Banner Crops

Dubuque, la., June 20.--American food stocks, increasing because of the effort Of farmers, were claSSed as an additional guarantee of the successful outcome of the war, by Secretary of Agriculture Houston, in an address today before the Iowa Bankers association. Along with his presentation of figures summarizing agricultural accomplishm ent, he called upon the residents of cities and towns to see that bountiful harvests prom ised do not waste because of labor shortage. Of the war itself. he said "there is no way out of this grim business except through it.
 This war will not be won by a miracle or by enChantmen he added. "There can be no turning back no falterng, no hesitation. We are determined to teach the lesson that law must rule among nations as among individuals and to establish guarantees for future peace and the prevention of a recurrence of such calamity as this"
 As to the agricultural effort during 1916, Secretary Houston said the American farmers had responded heartily to the call of the allied pop ulations for food.
 Farmers planted 23,000,000 acres more in leading food crops in 1917 than in 1916,' he said. They great ly increased the numbers of livestock in spite of exportations They in creased the number of milch cows by 39O.O0O of other cattle by nearly two million, the number of sheep, for the first time in a generation and a half, by 1,3O0,000, and of swine by nearly 4,000, ,000. Tn spite of expectations of horses and mules, they increased the number by 454, ,000. The indications are that they will do better even this year,
 We shall not fail to win the war because of food shortage" he said, "and I need not point out to bankers the large bearing of this enormous production on the foundations and machinery of finance and credit. "TheSe statements mean another thing. They mean difficulties of har- vesting. It is a matter of patriotism and business for you to omit no ef- fort to help in the matter of labor supply. This duty is of the most urgent and impelling character in this crisis

Will Hunt Down SlaGlxC1.S.

\ new feature is to be introduced in the War Savings campaign, which will meet with widespread approval It is the creation of a slackers com mittec with Mir. Loveday of the Met rOpolitan Life Insurance Co., as chair man and the agents of this company as members. Anyone who refuses to pledge himself or herself to buy War Savings Stamps and thus serve his country will have his name turned over to this committee, the need of which WaS felt in the recent Red Cross campaign. This committee will go after the stacker in proper style without mincing matters at all. It will have the backing of the State Council of Defense, and if @ person refuses to pledge. his reasons will be asked. For anyone to refuse to buy $5 War Savings Stamps. the reason will have to be much more than a preteXt. This committee will try and secure a pledge in the last analysis, and if unable to do so, such person will be reported in his true light. It committee is more than justified and will have the unanimous approval of the people of New Britain. It is not thought there will be much work cut out for this committee, as there is no reason why it should be necessary. The committee has the indorsement of the war bureau in it's work.
