IN OAKLAND JAIL
Roy Calhoun, Who Failed to Re
turn QUESTIONABLE, Arrested

The determination of the War Depart
ment to round up ali slackers has been
felt in many sections of the country,
but in Garrett county in one instance
only has it been necessary to invoke the
aid of the law to bring the guilty
parties to terms, and in this case it was
only after every other means had fs lied
was the strong arm of the law brought
to bear.
Roy Calhoun, of near Mt. Lake Park.
was brought from Bedford, Pa, Sunday
afternoon by Sheriff White, where he
had been arrested and held pending the
arrival of the officials, charged with not
having made return of his question
naire. Roy has two brothers who also
failed to make the proper return of the
papers and they, too, will be arrested
as soon as they can be located. In the
case of these three brothers the Local
Board had much trouble IN getting
them to register last June and it was
not until after visit had been made to
their home by Sheriff Ashby that they
consented to report.
Calhoun IS also under indictment by
the Garrett county grand jury for hav-
ing conducted a store at the Park with
out first securing the proper license to
carry on such business.

10000 Tibetans
Rebel; Capture
Several Towns
Take Advantage of Dis.
orders in the Province
of Szechuan

PEklNG. Monday. March 11.-Tak-
ing advantage of disorder in the prov
lnce of Sze-chuan, the Tibetans have
reoelled and are marching into SEE
chuan, where they have captured sew
eral towns. The force is estimated
at 10000 and is armed with modern
rifles.
Tibet is controlled virtually by the
natives, who are a branch of the Mon
gol race, the Chinese government look
ing after foreign relations and main
tanning small garrisons of Chinese
troops. There is a Regent appointed
bv the Chinese government, selected
from the Lamas, or religious leaders.
In 1913 Tibet demanded complete
autonomy, and in October of that year
the llbetans were successful in fight
ing against the Chinese. A conference
at Slmia, India, in July, 1914, failed to
agree on a convention between China,
Great Britain and Tibet. assuring the
autonomy of Tibet. In January, 1917,
Great Britain presented ten demands
on China affecting Tibet, but these
have net yet been agreed to by China
The province of Szechuan has been
overrun recently by bandits, against
whom the Chinese troops have been
able to make little headway.
Tibet adjoins India on the northeast
and is south of Chinese Turkestan,
which lies against Central Siberia The
Germans and Bolsheviki are said to
have been stirring up unrest through
out these regions.

President Asks Boys
To Enlist for Work
He Especially Urges High
School Students to Enroll
for Farm Service

WASHINGTON, March l4.-Presi
dent Wilson to-day called on all Ameri-
can boys of sixteen and over not per-
manently employed, to enroll in the
United States Boys Working Reserve.
A national enrolment week, beginning
March IS, has been set aside by the
Department of Labor.
The Presidents open letter, made
public to-day, follows:
The Department Of Labor has set
aside the week beginning March IS as
national enrolment week for the
United States Boys Working Reserve.
The purpose Of th,s national enroll
ment week is to call the attention of
the young men of the nation to the i'm :
portance OF increasing the food supply
by working on the farms, and to urge
them to enroll in the reserve.
Il sincerely hope that the young men
OF the country, of sixteen years of age
and over, not now permanently en-
ployed, and especially the bows in our
high schools, will enter heartily into
this work and join the Boys Working
Reserve, in order that they may have
the privilege, for such l believe it to
be, of spending their spare time in a
productive enterprise which will GER
tainly aid the nation to win the war bv
increasing the means of providing for
the forces at the front and for the
maintenance of those whose services
are so much needed at home"
