Atkinson Sent
ToChicagoa as
A Deserter
II Go to Fight War;" He
Says; "He Goes to Court
Martial" Officer Replies
[Stuf Corrcsponde7,cc1

WASHINGTON, April 2o.--Facing
the charge Of desertion for. failure to
report when called by the Chicago
Draft Board, Brent Dow Allinson, Chi
cago pacihst and anti-war advocate,
was arrested here to-day. He was
taken to Chicago tonight, in custody
of military guard. The order for AL
llnsons arrest was issued by the War
Department. On his arrival in Chicago
Atkinson will become private" and
perhaps face a court martial.
Atkinson was arrested by Depart
ment of Justice operatives after Sec
rotary of War Baker had approved a
recommendation of Provost Marshal
General Crowder, who declared that
the young conscientious objector has
shown impertnencc and defiance of
the selective draft act. After his ar
rest General Crowder declined to per-
NIT the. youth to play the role of
martyr, but kept him incommunicado.
lett defiant statement to be delv
cred to newspapers to serve as an in
terview.
Il am going under compulsion into
the camp Of an army to protest against
the curse and infamy of international
war; Atkinson said in this statement.
Gle is going before a general court
martial to be tried for desertion," an
officer of the judge advocate generals
lucky if he gets off with less than
three to five years in the disciplinary
barracks at Fort Leavenworth. Deser-
ton in time of war may even be pun

Allinson's statement said he would
not "take arms against the youth Of
Germany" and other defiant passages
probably will not help his case any
with the court martial.

resister to an abrupt close.
Chairman Bernheim's telegram was
addressed direct to Secretary of War
Baker. 1t asked what influence was
shielding Atkinson from arrest. 1t de-
nounced his insolent attitude, which
was utterly discrediting the Chicago
local board, and insisted that Allinson
should be brought back prisoner.
Atkinson was arrested at the home of
G. w. Nasmyth, until recently one of
the chief aids of Federal Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield, where he had been a
guest. The special agent making the
arrest said the young mans blasc pose
was quickly dropped when he learned
he was under arrest. Allinson's actions
indicated this. He did not carry out
his bluff to "serve tea" to the arrest
ing officers. He was told to "pack up
in hurry and come along"
Allinson's statement to the press con-
tanned some of the phrases used in his
open Letter to Secretary of War
Baker" published in the anti-war
periodical "War." This resulted in his
dismissal from q post in the Berne
(Switzerland) Legation, to which he
was en- route when The Tribune in
formed the State Department of his
pacifist inclinations.

Farib0 and Mortified Likely to
Organize Units In Second
Regiment

Officers of the local national guard
units took trip to Faribault and
Ncrthfeld yesterday afternoon where
they looked over the situation and
planned the organization of compan-
les in those cities. No definite action
was taken but Colonel G. A. Lewis
states that prospects of raising a
company of men in each of these cit
les are very bright. The first stop of
the trip was made at Faribault where
the officers remained for about an
hour and then went on to Mortified,
returning to Mankato late last even

, Members of the party who made
the trip were: Colonel G. A. Lewis;
Captain Roy Bates; Leutenants Ed

geant John Regain and Bugler Brown.

along the way.
Major Loring of Crookston and
Captain Spooner of Morris were in
Mankato this afternoon to talk over
the possibilities of having a company
of men stationed at each of these cit
les. The officers were particularly
anxious to gain representation in the
new Second regiment. Colonel Lewis
states that prospects of filing the reg
iment are good and towns in this
part of the state are taking hold Of

German Line Is Gradually Civ

Associated Press DispatcA.l

With the American Army On the
Aisne- Marine Front, July 31.-Efforts
by the Germans to advance their lines
against the Americans last night and
this morning on this front were fruit
less. The Americans were content to
hold their positions along their
slightly advanced line. The German
line gradually is giving way both to
right and left. There, was hard fight
ing throughout the night, but there
were no concentrated attacks in force
by either side. During the night the
Americans made pretense of retir-
ing from part of the town of Seringes.
Germans advanced into town. Two
companies of Americans closed on
them, killing or capturing every Ger
man. The Germans were using gas
and high explosive shells.

UNITED Press Dispatch.l

Washington, July 31.-Both sides
having attained their original objec-
tives it seems probable that the bat
tie line will remain the same, the
scene of a bitter conflict for the pres
ent at least, General March admit
: ted today in his weekly war inter-
view. He stated that the fighting
now by each side was to kill as
many of the opposing force as posi-
sible. Consequently the American as
well as the German casualty lists will
be high.
Rainbow Division In Fight.
General March stated that the
Rainbow division is now in the front
OF the active fighting in France. The
identity of the force that whipped
the Prussian guards has not yet been
given out in France. March stated,
however, that it was either the Third
or the Second division. The Forty
second division is the Rainbow divi-
sion.
America will soon receive the cas-
ualty lists for the recent heavy fight
ing. General Pershing was instruct
ed to send home the names regular
ly and the sum total of killed and
wounded will DE given out in few
days. General March stated there
had been no retirement by the Ger
mans since their rapid retreat Satur-
day. 1t seems probable that the Teu-
tons will be able to escape from the
pocket but only at terrible loss.

REPAIR INJURED FACES
Hospital Where This Is Done Is at
Sidcup, Kent
TUnueQ Press Dispatch.

London, July BIN, Sidcup, Kent,
there is hospital which devotes itself
entirely to treatment of injuries of
the face.
Soldiers enter the hospital with
faces smashed beyond recognition.
Very few visitors are admitted, and
most of the men would rather die than
meet their friends and relatives. Doc
tors and nurses work untiringly in
their efforts to repair the ravages of
shrapnel and high explosives, so that
sooner or later their patients can face
the world without causing beholders
to shuddec in horror.
Often the treatment takes months,
and men who are perfectly sound
physically just hide themselves away
there until their faces assume some
semblance of Gods image.

charges, sharp, sudden and fear
less are not only gaining ground
at a rapid rate. They are in
shilling fear into the hearts of
the enemy and cause them to give

taken off the men show plainly
the healthy respect they now have
for the, Yankee as fighter.

that they believe their chances of

that the Americans were driven

Feel Toward Country

Feel Toward Country
Amsterdam, June 26.-[Correspon-
dence of The Associated Press. J.
There is not single German colon-
list in Russia who places the small
est faith in the Russian government.
Our minds are made UP. ii Germany
does not protect us with a strong
hand there is only one way out, name
ly, to emigrate to the United States
or Canada"
This is the statement of Pastor
Johannes Schleunfng who has come
to Berlin representing the interests
of socalled Wolga Germans, farming
colony of seven, b5sndred thousand
persons passing established along
that river.
After the Brest -Litovsk peace,
Schleuning returned from three years
Punishment in Siberia and made him
self spokesman of two million German
settlers spread over different regions
of Russia.
According to his statement, the
colonists were Incorporated in the
Russian army, first sent to the Russo
German front and then some three
hundred thousand were transferred to
the Caucasus. There they underwent
terrible sufferings, thousands died,
those staying at home had their prop
critics confiscated, were reduced to
beggary aud the bolsheViki completed
their ruin.
Wolga colonists now ask to be as
sisted back to Germany or permitted
to settle in the Baltic provinces. Fail
ing this they intend to emigrate to
America, declares Schleuning, who
thus places before the German govern
ment problem filled with peculiar
difficulties.
