Representative Nelson
Denies Son Eluded Draft
Went to Canada to Win College
Medal for Helping With
Farm Work

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--Reprcsenta-
tive. Nelson, of Wisconsin,, in a speech
TO the House day made his first for
mai answer to the recently quashed in
dictments against himself and his son
Byron, which charged them with con-
spring to evade the draft law.
AS means of making his speech
Representative Nelson introduced n
resolution moving for the impeachment
of the United States Attorney for the
Western District of Wisconsin, whose
activity brought about the indict-
ments. Mr.. Nelson announced, how
ever, that at the conclusion of his
speech he would withdraw the rcsolu-
ton. The Federal Court at Madison,
Mr.. Nelson told the House, not only
quashed the indictments, but
"squashed" the United States Attorney
The resignation Of the latter has been
demanded
Inc case arose over young Nelson
going to his fathers wheat farm in
Canada before the draft The District
Attorney charged him with failing to
register. The Nelson's contended from
the first that the draft law itself and
rulings Of the provost marshal general
did not require Americans out of the
country to register.
AS he closed Representative Nelson
received a demonstration.
Mr.. Nelson said his son went to the
farm in Canada because he was under
pledge to his university to stay a GER
tain length of time on a farm, and re-
sin ba>ge of patriotism for his work
in facilitating food production. The
whole trouble, he minated, was pn-
litical

Roosevelt's Advice Wins Group
OF College Men to Marines
Seven Companions Enlist in Corps Which Former President
Designates as Desirable-Colonel Hopes Ambulance
Driver Will Meet His Sons "Over There

Seven young men enlisted here III
the United States Marine Corps ycster-
day. Six were students at Yale and the
seventh came from Princeton.
If you had asked-and there were
plenty who did ask--any of the seven
why they were lined up in front of the
examining doctor at the Marine Corps
branch, I'd East Twenty-thrd Street,
they would have answered one and all:
because the Colonel told me to-"
And the answer would have been
meticulously correct.
The seven are friends. They decided
q few days ago to enist--just where
didn't bother them in the least. They
divided into squads, visited headquar-
ters of the various branches of the ser
vice, and in the end couldn't agree
where they did want to serve.
A conference was called and the
young fellows decided to leave it to
Colonel Roosevelt. They called up the
ColonePs home, IN Oyster Bay, few
days ago, just before his illness, made
an appointment and then put the mat
ter squarely up to him. The Colonel
Immediately chose the Marine Corps as
being the branch of the service in
which they would be happiest, and yes
terday they acted on his advice.
The six Yale chaps were William
Sheffield Cowles, jr nineteen years
old, Of Pennington, Conn, and a son Of
Admiral Cowles, retired; Richard Dill
worth, nineteen years old, of 40 East

1900 Canadians,
Wounded, Arrive
Here on Way Home
Ten Red Cross Nurses,
Some Hurt on Battlefield,
Also Return

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Feb. 9.-With
1900 wounded Canadian soldiers and
several wounded Red Cross nurses on
board, the British steamship bearing
Lord Reading and his party reached
this port tonight after a stormy pas
sage.
The invalided Dominion fighters, re-
turning home after two or three years
at the front, made stirring impress
and, forgetting hospitals and illness,
sang and shouted to American soldiers
and British officials on the dock.
ooh, my! l don't want to die.
l want to go home!'
was the refrain of the most popular
song, satirical ballad entitled "Take
Me Back to Dear Old Blighty." The
men appeared in excellent health, over
flowing with spirits, and took particular
delight in numerically chatting Ameri-
can soldiers who formed a guard on
the pier
The fighters were "spoiling" to get
on shore, but a guard of American
soldiers was placed on board, with
No official reason was given for this
step, but it is presumed it was taken
to keep the men together, until they
are shipped back to their homes in the
Dominion.
Captain William Nye, of the United
States Secret Service, and a squad of
Federal detectives were stationed on
the pier and on board the ship when
1T locked. Captain Nye conferred
with Lord Reading, after which it was
announced that neither officials nor
soldiers would leave, but would prob
ably land to-day.
The women nurses who We're in.
valided home were allowed to leave the
ship last night. There were about ten
CT them in the party, with four others
in charge of the ship. Of the ten, it
vas said several had been wounded on
the battlefield. The women were
dressed in the dark blue uniform of
the Canadian Red Cross, and all of
them had been at the front since 1914
At least two other large British
steamships reached this port yesterday
in the feet of liners conveyed to safety
by British warships. 1t is known that
the conveying squadron was of con-
siderable size.
No submarines were reported sighted
during the voyage. The sinking of the
Tuscania, reported by wireless, is said
to have caused a tightening of the
guard,

for the nomination. It is understood
that the upstate Whitman leaders
have informed Speaker Sweet and his
political sponsors that the candidate
would have to be "an upstate man"
The Speaker is said to have attempted
recently to make an appointment with
George w. Aldridgc, Of Rochester, with
out success.
Governor Whitman yesterday dis
credited the story in some of Friday
papers that the State Grange, one OF
the strongest farmers organizations in
the state, had passed resolutions at a
meeting in Syracuse recently urging
the Senate not to confirm his appoint
ments to the Farm and Markets Coun-
Gil.
Meets George w. Perkins
The Governor conferred with George
w. Perkins. The meeting OF the Re-
publication National Committee at st.
Louis OH Tuesday was discussed. The
Governor said he though that John T.
Adams, Of Iowa, the present vice-chair.
man of the committee, would be elected
to succeed William r. Wilcox, re-
signed.
Governor Whitman will remain here
until Wednesday. He will speak this
afternoon at the West Side Y. NJ. C. A
and at Yonkers in the evening. To-mor.
row night he will review the military
pageant at the 69th Regiment Armory

at the Lincoln Memorial at the Repub.
lican Club.
The Governor said yesterday that he
intended to send the nomination OF
Charles B. Hill, Of Buffalo, as chair
man Of the upstate Public Service Com.

A Picture

TIME other day, on Fifth Ave-
nue., near Forty-eighth
Street, a little crowd was
to be seen, most Of the time, be-
fore a dealers shop window. 1t
was just a picture, not of action
or of beautiful women; merely a
landscape, without a human
figure-a quiet scene along the
Seine, in France. Man after
man, shop girls, women in ex-
pensive raiment, paused to view
this delicate Inning of rural
beauty and repose. 1t was not
wondrously new. Yet such it's
warmth and charm that none
could turn away-shop girl or
critic-without freshened sense
Of its vividness and power.
There was here an art that is
rare, in it's mystic compulsion of
the emotions of all who paused.
1T had poetry and singular feel
ing. We regret that Mr.. Aston
knight should find it more worth
while to paint these things in
France than his own land; but
it was still a pleasure to know
that it had been done by an
American hand.

there is young "Teddy" Greeman, a
namesake of the former President, who
is driving an ambulance in the United
States Army. His father, Louis w.
Greenman, of So West Twenty third

letter from Colonel Roosevelt:
My Dear Mr.. Greeman:
Your letter gives me the greatest
pleasure, and | want to congratulate
you and your gallant son, my name
sake. You two are the kind Of Amer
leans in whom I believe with all my
heart; each in your own person ex-
emplifies preparedness in advance,
just what this nation needs. l hope
your boy sees my boys on the other

Mr.. Grecman and his son, the young
ambulance driver, went to the first of
fcers' training camp at Plattsburg to-
gether. There they became acquainted
with the Roosevelt boys.

II believe that 80 per cent Of the

the question were submitted to them
to vote on, would vote in favor of ra.
tanning the right of suffrage. The ex-
ceptional ones that l have met, who

they will never exercise the right of
