RUSSIAN BOY SEEKS
 RELEASE FROM ARMY
Habeas Corpus Hearing Before Judge Grubb
 Yesterday

Habeas corpus proceedings were insti- tuted yesterday before Judge w. |. Grubb of the federal court to secure the discharge for John Sirgedas, sta- tioned at Camp Mcclellan. Claims were instituted by a sister of Sirgedas that he was citizen of Russia aHd an alien, as well as being a minor Sirgedas' case was presented by Nicholas Aleini- ken of New York, and the case was taken under advisement by Judge Grubb.
 From what can be learned 1t appears that the boy, just 20 years old at present, came to the United States in 1914, securing work in 8 mill at Militown, N. J. He can neither read, nor write. and speaks English very brokenly, an interpreter being necessary.
 According to the statement of his at- .torney the boy was told he would have to register on June and he must be over 21 years of age, so he registered giving his age as 22 He was drafted and failed to file any claim for exemp- ton within the time limit and was called into service and sent with the New Jer- sey troops to Camp Mcclellan to train. His sister, realizing the situation, filed claims for his exemption on the grounds that he was an alien and minor. The outcome of the case is being watched with interest.

 When the British treasury floated the last big war loan we offered a capital prize of f5o00 (s25,000) in war bonds to the customer buying the bond carrying the winning number. Mrs. Lloyd George presided over the draw ing of the numbers.

That was in the midst of the holiday shopping season, and after selling this great amount of bonds for the govern. ment we did the largest Christmas business we had ever done.

 pr. Brown, upon hearing of the incl dent. wherein the pupils faces were dls- eolored with nitrate of silver, suspended the two seniors when it was learned upon investigation that the nitrate of sil- yer solution was applied by the young lady without knowledge of it, she be- lieving the bottle contained water, while the boy admitted that he knew it was nitrate of silver and that he had gotten the solution for the purpose to which it applied, without the knowledge of any other member of the club.
 By the end of the week the suspension will be removed from both students. after they have apologized for what they have done, and the disooloration has disap- peared from the faces of all students ln- itiated.
