NEPHEW BEATS Up
PARSON 'OBJECTOR'

FREDERICK, Nd. Dee. .9.-The
ether day Lieut.. Samuel : Utz. hon
"rably discharged from the United
states Army. met his uncle. the Rev
.'ilas X. Utz, pastor of the Church OF
the Brethren at Monrovit, Nd, a gen
tleman with very pronounced and
conspicuous views on the subject of
conscientious objections to service in
le United States army. The en-
counter took place in front OF the
postofflce of New Market, which is a
town of just a few hundred people,
seven miles east of Frederick.
The discharged lieutenant, although
a member OF the Church of the Breth-
rem, was one of twenty-four men lineo
up before the colonel at camp, who
stepped out and said that he had no
religious scruples about serving in
The army, later winning his bars in
training camp. He just naturally
stopped his reverend uncle and said
ne understood that the uncle had
called his mother a liar"
Strikes His Uncle.
As to what occurred thereafter,
neither the uncle nor the nephew have
given q clear description. The dis
charged officer struck his uncle right
vigorously under the eye and on the
head. The minister had a lump on
his head and a vividly discolored eye.
The officer is about twenty-five
years of age. and the uncle is about
Sorty-seven, and of robust build. The
uncle declared. that in view of the
fact that he had scrupIes about fight
ing, he could not hit back. But for
a non-resistant, says the nephew, the
Rev. Utz did considerable scratching
about"
On Christmas even, Rev. Utz ana
his nephew appeared before Justice
August 7. Brust, of this city. The
nephew was charged with assault and
battery by his uncle.
During the trial il developed that
the minister was instrumental in Sc
curing three automobiles to bring to
Frederick a number of young men in
the draft so that they could file their
claims for exemption from military
duty. He said he did not invest any
money in Liberty Bonds or war saw
inEs stamps, hut that he had con-
tributed to the Red Cross. He stated
that he had money in the bank.
Couldn't Reconcile Self.
After the testimony was concluded
Justice Brust said he could not recon
cile himself to the fact that many
people. after straining their finances,
had invested in Loberty bonds and
war savings stamps, while others,
financially able. had not invested a
cent. He said he did not approve OF
people going about calling other peS-
pie ''Iiars," and then saying. don't
hit me, don't hght." The question
to his mind, said the Justice, was
whether or not the punishment ad-
ministered to the uncle by the nephew
was excessive, and he held it. was.
A verdict of guilty was rendered, but
sentence suspended 4

Young Women of America, Atten-
4ioni


Here's an opportunity to serve
your country in France with Gen
eral Pershing's Expeditionary Force
"a chance to do as much to help
win the war as the men in khaki
who 60 cover the top"
Uncle Sam wants to have his tele-
phone system In France operated by
the most efficient operators in the
world and that means by American
Young women. The Signal Corps
have asked the telephone companies
in the United States to secure these
switchboard soldiers" for them.
Just because you are or have been
a telephone operator, don't think that
you therefore can easily secure a
position in this expeditionary operat-
ing force. The first and fixed re-
quirement is an ability to speak and
read both French and English fluent
j. and be able TO understand readily
French spoken over a telephone
line. The American telephone sys-
TEN in France not only links General
Pershing's headquarters with various
points of military Importance but 1t
also connects directly with the
French Government telephone sys-
TEN, and so unless your French is
very, very good, do not consider your
self a qualified applicant. Knowl-
edge of switchboard operation is
also necessary, but il you do not have
this knowledge and If all the oper-
ators needed are not obtained from
those already having experience, you
may be 'accepted without previous ex-
perience and given the necessary
training by some telephone company.
Therefore. If you can handle the
French language as we'll as you do
the English and are dependable, re-
sourccful, and able. if necessary, to
"go it on yonr own" as the soldiers
say whom the tide of battle COM
pels prompt, individual action 10

ments and be one of the most demo
cratic and truly representative

personnel is being selected from ap.
plicants from all parts of the coun-
try, who, as fast as they are selected,
are given such training either in
