ROUMANIAIS ON
 POINT OF REVOLT
 AGAINST THE HUN
Advices from Jassy Say Up risings Are Expected
 Among People.

Paris, Oct. 3.-(Correspondenc of The Associated Press. )-There is a steadily growing belief in Roumania that if the German domination and oppression continues, there may be an uprising among the people, particu- larly if the food and clothing famine is not relieved. There are many who feel, says a prominent Rouman- ian who has just returned here from Jassy, that it may not be impossible that the Roumanian army will again take up arms against the Central Powers. This conviction, said he, is the stronger since the recent decisive victories of the Allies on the West ern front.
 Already there Is grave unrest among the peasants, who are forced by the German agents to work long and iaboriously in farm and factory, with scarcely sufficient wages to buy their daily bread. The Germans are thoroughly disliked by all from the royal family down to the humblest peasant.
 The belief that the Roumanian ar my may fight again prevails not on- ly among the people, but in military circles. Officers are confident that, with Americas legions now partici- pating in the struggle on the Western front and their number steadily in- creasing, the Central Powers will be compelled to divert all their troops from other fronts to the field of op- erations in France in order to check the fast-moVing Allies. This would be an opportune moment, these ob- servers believe, for Roumania to throw off the yoke of Germany and re-establish it's army in the field as an aid of the Allies.

PRIVATE BAKER
 ESCAPES AFTER
 BEING CAPTURED
Tells Thrilling Story of Treatment by Huns Eighteen Hours With
 out Food.

With the American Forces in France, Oct. 3.-Private Edward F. Baker, of .Pittsburg, Pa, is one of the few Americans who claims to have been a, prisoner in Germany and then escaped back to the line of his com rades. Here is an outline of the story told by Baker when he came into Fishes late one night soon after the Americans took possession of that town. Early one morning there had been street fighting in Fishes and in an encounter several Germans got the drop on Baker and marched him back to their lines.
 Before noon the Germans had Ba- ker working in trenches, and they kept him digging in one place or an- other most of the afternoon without as much as even suggesting that he might want something to eat. Late in the afternoon the Americans start ed an attack, proceeding it with a heavy barrage from the artillery. Nat urally this caused quite a commotion among the Germans on the hills north of Fishes.
 When the German guarding Baker turned his head to look in the direc- tion of the whiz of an American shell Baker seized a stick of wood and struck the guard a blow on the head and then ran into a nearby wood, to- ward the Americans. None of the Germans followed him, although sev-
 eral soldiers fired with their rifles as he disappeared in the brush. 1 Baker reached his companions tha1 night just eighteen hours after he hat
 been taken prsioner, and he had noth. l ing to eat all day.

TROOPS REACH FURTHEST
 SOUTH OF RUSSIA

Archangel. Tuesday, Oct. 1-(By The Associated Press)-American troops now hold the farthest point south reached by any of the Allied forces in the advance southward from Archangel. This point is small village thirty-five miles south of Shenketrsk on the river Vaga, 300 miles southeast of Archangel. The Bolshevik stronghold of Velsk is about 40 miles away.
 From Velsk the Bolsheviki send out small gunboats from which they land parties to attack the Americans. The Bolsheviki, however, always flee to the shelter of the gunboat when at- tackled.
 The inhabitants near the American advanced post are largely of Bolshe- vik sympathies, as those opposed to the Bolsheviki fled to Shenkursk to the protection of the Allied and Rus sian forces. A party of about 100 peasants is doing splendid work scout ing for the Allies.
 Thirty-fve miles south of Shen- kursk would place the American troops in the government of Vologda. Velsa or Belsk, the Bolshevik base, is 200 miles north of the city of Volog da

AUSTRIAN BANKER ROBBED BY REDS
 BUT GETS RICH

Amsterdam, Oct. 2.-(Correspon- dence of Tn eAssocfated Press )-The experience of an Austrian banker with Bolsheviki methods, when he made a business trip to East Russia recently, is the talk of the Vienna bourse, ad- vices received here state.
 The banker was arrested and in- termed. Disguised as a peasant, he escaped with 10,0O0 rubles in his pos session. He fell in with a company of Bolsheviki who, despite his pro- tests, took and divided the contents of his pockets.
 Share and share alike is the rule here" they explained, handing him back his "share." which was only . tenth of his capital.
 Soon, though, his fortunes took a turn for the better. He fell in with another band which added to it's ranks a ragged individual from whose pock- cts 100000 roubles were extracted. This sum was pooled and carefully divided and the banker received a fat share. Eventually he returned to Vi- enna with 20,000 roubles.
 There are two sides to commu11- l ism," he now says.

CONSERVATION OF MEN IS GERMAN
 TACTICS NOW

With the American Armies in France, Sept 3-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)- is the word one hears coming over the German lines now. Always econom- cal, the Germans are saving now more than ever before in man pow CT. Since the day the Germans started backward from the Marne they have been conserving their num- bers as never before and they have done 1t in 8 most admirable manner But it has been at the expense of positions.
 The German losses in men have not been so great as might have been expected. In the fighting north of the Marne the retreat was skilfully planned and carried out in a manner that excited admiration. Machine guns were substituted for men at al- most every point and the way in which the German army is built around that particular bit of ordnance has been very thoroughly demonstrat- ed.
 Every backward step of the enemy was guarded by the automatic guns. Get back the artillery and the bulk of the infantry was the order repeal ed in the German army as the French and Americans prodded them. Irl almost every instance the rear guard action meant the resistance of little machine gun units and because of the clever manner in which the nests were placed they were able to hold their own long enough to enable the main armies behind them to fall back.
 They were not always placed in lines but left here and there just oyer the brow of a hill or in the deep | woods, on the ground and in the trees and almost always skillfully camoI fiaged. But always their disposition was coordinate. In the end it was up to every machine gun crew to fight | its own way out or to resist to th< | last, until swept away by the allies artillery or over by their tanks or in | fantry, but they were so placed ths
 until that time came their fire was sS
 directed that it swept very effectuallS
 the advancing lines. The Germans
 have lost thousands of their machine | guns by such tactics but they have
 saved approximately in men. It Is this evident intention to savt l manpower, so different from their at ! titude earlier in the war, that ha gone far towards convincing man.
 that their big military machine il

 able to withstand winter cam

In heating value one standard cord of well-seasoned hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, ash, elm locust or cherry wood is approximately equal to one ton (2,O00 pounds) of anthra- cite coal, according to estimates by the Forest Service, United States Se- partment of Agriculture. However, a cord and a half of soft maple and two cords of cedar, poplar or basswood are required to give the same amount of heat.
 One cord of mixed wood, well sea- soned equals in heating value at least one ton fo average grade bituminous cCal.

GERMAN KULTUR
 NOI NEW THING

Every village they have passed through has been the victim of what is only organized pillage. Every ctiy has been practically sacked, ransacked on system; it's citizens plundered, it's civil officials teroriZed, imprisoned, outraged, or killed. The civil population have been, contrary to the usage of modern warfare, forced to serve the invading armies, brutally put to death, reduced to wholesale starvation and desolation. Vast tracts of the richest and most industrious districts of Europe have been deliberately stripped and have been plunged into famine, solely in order that the invaders might make war cheaply. Irregular troops, con- trary to all the practice of war, have been systematically murdered. and civil populations indiscrim- inately massacred, solely to spread terror. A regular system of ingeni- ous terrorism has been directed against civilians, as horrible as any thing in the history of civil or re- ligious wars. Large and populous cities have been, not once, but 20, 30, 40 times bombarded and burnt, and the women and children in them wantonly slaughtered, with the sole object of inflicting suffering. All this has been done not in license, or passion, but by the calculating fero- city of scientific soldiers"
 The above was not written, though it might have been, yesterday, last week, last month, or last year. It appeared in the English Fortnightly Review, February 1871, shortly be- fore the surrender of Paris. Fred erick Harrison, the writer, is still alive. Its statements were true then, are true now. Julius Caesar
 in his Commentaries narrates events which show that even before the time of Christ the Germans demon strated the possession of all of the rudiments of their modern "kultur." It is no new thing; and hundreds of thousands of men will have died in vain in this war if this sinister thing is not absolutely and utterly exterminated forever by the forces of civilization arrayed against it.

These cases have usually involved claims for exemption from the op- eration of the selective service law by reason of alienage and attempts were made to have certani adjudi- cants of selective draft officials re- pudiated by court order.
 Courts Supporting Boards
 The trend of decisions in these cases, however, has been to support the findings of the local and dis trict boards in instances where full and fair hearings have been af- forded to the registrants, it being generally held that the jurisdiction of the board is the proper one for the determination of these questions, and that the court will not interfere where regisrant has been given an opportunity to be heard. All courts have generally been of the opinion that ample time for the presenta- tion of claims for discharge or ex- emption was provided by the regula- tions, and that claimant must es- tablish his case within the time pre- scribed.
