Rutherford and 7 9th
ers Found Guilty
OF Violating the Espionage Law by
jury in Federal Court at New York
Were Followers of Late "pastor
RUSSELL

New York, June 20-Joseph f..
ants followers of the late Pastor
RUSSELL were found guilty OF con-
spring TO violate the espionage law

They ceased smiling, however, when
the jurymen, stern-faced. filed into the
room. Ten minutes later they were
on their way to Jail.
The trial began two weeks ago yester-
day. Interest in the case increased
daily and tonight the courtroom was SO

PLAN FOR IRISH
DRAFT May BE
DROPPED SOON
Committee Appointed to
Draft Bill Has Done Moth
ing, Says Press.
(By Associated Press

LONDON, May 2.--Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer, and
government spokesman. declared in
the house of commons Wednesday
that he could not say when an Irish
home rule bill would be introduced.
This, according to some lobby cor
respondents of the morning newspa-
pers covers the fact that the introduc-
ton of the bill has been deferred and
hope of it's presentation next week
has now been abandoned.
The Daily News says the govern
ment has met with serious Difficult
ties in its Irish policy and cannot find
a successor to Baron Wimborne. who
has resigned the lord lieutenantship
while the committee appointed to
draft bill up to this time has settled
virtually nothing except the preamble,
It's deliberations, it is added, are held
up on the issue of giving the veto to
Ulster and also in considering past
ministerial promises to Ulster.
Should Abandon Plan.
The only way out of the difficulties
is. in the opinion of responsible labor
members of the house of commons,
that the government: temporarily
abandon both conscriptlon and home
rule.
1t is nowise improbable, adds the
Daily News, that this course will be
adopted in the near future.
A sidelisht is thrown on the diff
cult issues involved by the meeting
Wednesday of between so and 60
peers and members of the house of
commons, both unionist and liberal
who accepted an invitation of the
Navy League to discuss what to do
regarding Irish coastal defense in
of passing a home rule bill The
meeting appointed delegates to urge
upon tn, committee drafting the bill
that the imperial authorities ought
to retain full control of Irish harbors
and ports, probably also railroads.
1t is reported in political circles
that the more extreme elements of the
Unionist party have stiffened lately
against any form of home rule, and
letter just written by Sir Edward
Carson to the secretary of the south
ern Unionist committee in Ireland sug-
geStS that the rumorS are we'll found
ed. Sir Edward says in part:
''In the present condition of Ire
land it seems to me little short of
insanity for any government to re-
open the question of home rule. I.
This indeed is StafeSmanShiu MANN
factured out of panic and founded on
broken pledges in breach of trust If
we have to go down let US do so
with the flag flying and not in alliance
with those whose object is to gain a
vantage ground for enforcing further
separation policies"

AMERICA Will
SEND ACROSS
ENOUGH men
TO WIN WAR
Millions Will Go Into Action
If Needed, Secretary Of the
Navy Tells Philadelphia
Body.
MANPOWER UNLIMITED

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 2.-As
many millions as may be needed to
win the war. will be sent to the battle
front, Secretary Daniels declared to-
day in an address to the Philadelphia
chamber of commerce in behalf of the
third liberty loan.
Let us not think in terms of fixed
numbers" said the secretary, con
gress has provided the selective draft
and when there are enough ships all
these men will be on the fields Of
France. If there is not enough be-
tween 21 and 81 to win the war the
age limit will be changed and men Of
forty and fifty if need be, will respond
to the colors.'
He indicated that he considered it
great mistake to fix the number of the
army at three million as had been
suggested because the world would
take that as the limit of what Amer
lea could do. This, he said, was far
from the spirit of the government
which was in the war to the full ex-
tent of the resources and man power
of America.
Earlier in the day Secretary Dan
iels. speaking to employees of the
League Island Navy yard, asserted
that the kaiser's greatest disappoint-
ment was the failure of German spies
and German propaganda to stir up
labor trouble in the United States.
Labor in the United States, under
stands" continued the secretary, "and
understands perhaps better than any
body else that it depends for its life
and progress and future victories upon
overcoming the German autocracy in
this war.
"And labor is challenging German
treachery and German money SO sue
cessfully that today in most indus
tries, labor is turning out more war
munitions and supplies than ships can
transport across the water
He also emphasized to the men that
workers share in the fight was
equal to that of the man in the
trenches, or at sea and he praised the
navy yard employees for their devotion
to duty

The boys at Hattiesburg need
talking machine records.
If you have records for any make
of machine, bring them tc Harri
sons Edison shop. They will be
sent to the troopers with your
name attached.
The supply records sent some
time ago is depleted. The sand

the incessant use to which they
were put by the boys, has worn

Thousands of records have been
sent by New Workers to the camps

seventy-five to the Wayne county

1.-The Franco-British liaison, has
been rightly described as intimate;
the Franco-American is, if possible,
still closer. 1t is real fusion. Every
document of one of the French diviS-
ions touching the Americans is i'm
mediately communicated to the allies.
There are two uniforms, two Ian
guages, but one army"
The correspondent asked a French
artillery colonel, who is well known
in Washington, what he thought of
his American allies. The colonel re-
piled: I'VE value them highly of
course. There are lots of tricks which
we learned-at what cost! Which we
can hand on, but l am astonished at
their faculty of assimilation.
Take my arm of the service. One
of the greatest difficulties in artillery
is the utilization of observation points.
You can hardly imagine the work in
volved in properly using the informa-
ton collected at these posts. Our
American comrades have succeeded
splendidly in this delicate work"

although apparently wounded, and re-

whelmed by numbers. he was driven
down.
Mcleod, while flying at an altitude
of 5000 feet, was attacked by eight
enemy machines, which dived at him
from all directions, firing from their
front guns. By skilful maneuvers he
enabled his observed to fire bursts at
each machine in turn, shooting three
down.
BY this time both Mcleod and his
observer wounded and their machine
was in flames. Mcleod climbed out
onto the plane, controlling the ma
chine from the side, and by slide
slipping steeply he kept the flames
confined to one side, thus enabling
the observer to keep on firing until
the ground was reached.
Mcleod dragged the observer from
the flaming machine, and although
again wounded by bomb, persevered
until he had placed his companion in
safety. when he fell from exhaustion,
due to loss of blood.
