FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT MADE
Three New Paris Men

NEW PARIS, O., April 29.-Three
prominent residents here, Jack Jones,
Robert Melody and Ernest Purviance,
auctioned off their services for day
to the highest bidder at the Red Cross
benefit sale held here Saturday under
the auspices of the B. G. l. c., an or
ganization of young women.
The services of the men were pur-
chased by Calvin Middaugh, retired
farmer, who paid s35 for their days
work. The money was turned over to

The three men were set to work
Monday clearing away a brick school
house from ground belonging to Mid

.QUAKERS TO Be
COURT MART|ALED
AT CAMP TAYLOR
Are Among So Conscientious
Objectors- Disobeyed Or
ders Is Charge.
(By Associated Press.)

CAMP ZACHARY TAYLOR. KY,
April 20. Fifty-eight conscientious
objectors at Camp Zachary Taylor are
to be tried before a general court
martial for alleged violations of the
ninety-fourth and ninety-fifth articles
of war which is in reality the dis
obedience of orders
These men, largely from Indiana,
who claim to have conscientious
scruples that do not permit them to
perform military service, were
brought to the camp with groups OF
drafted men.
Their trials will attract consider
able attention as they are the first
known cases where men drafted into
the army are to face a general court
martial as the result of refusing to
obey an order when they declared
they were objectors to fighting for
reason of religion.
The specific charge upon which
the men will be tried is for refusing
to plant flowers at the base hospital.
1t is stated that no religion known
breaches that a man cannot plant
flowers for the benefit of the sick.
Under the proclamation of the
President, persons whose creed be-
fore the war did not permit fighting,
were transferred to the forestry, med
ical service, quartermaster corps or
any other non-combatant branch of
the service.
Quakers Among Them.
A majority of the men that have re-
ported to the camp with this claim
have been transferred to the branch
they desired The remaining fifty
eight have refused to perform any du-
ties, according to the military author
tiles, even to the cleaning of their
quarters, saluting the flag, or answer
ing roll call.
Among the group are disciples of
the Mennonite church, Quakers and
other denominations.
Since the question arose of consci-
entious objectors, the military author
tiles have classified the groups into
fight but would perform non-combat-
ant service; those who object to do
ing anything and those who were
thought to be the ring-leaders. The
men who refused to obey any order
were placed in one guard house and
the alleged ring-leaders in another.
Here they have been awaiting trial
1t seems to be the impression, gen.
orally, that the trials of these men
will be the basis of the final disposi-
tion of men caught in the draft who
claim conscientious objection. To
disobey an order in time of war, the
sentence may be death
Higher officers of the Saith division
at Camp Zachary Taylor say that
from what they can learn there is a
concerted move on the part of many
of the men to disobey orders. 1t is
also stated that a check of names Of
the 123 drafted men who claim con-
.scientious objection sixty-four have
German names.
Officers familiar with the cases are
emphatic in declaring that never
have any of the men been ordered to
drill. wear a uniform or use a gun.
They have been required only to keep
themselves clean, police their quar-
ters and few other duties for the
sanitation of the camp.

Sorghum Production is
Urged by Food Committee
As Conservation Measure

A campaign is being urged by the
Food Committee of the Indiana State
Council of Defense to encourage a
greater sorghum production. The
scarcity Of commercial sugar makes
it necessary for consumers to substi-
tute other forms of sweetening where
possible.
Sorghum is cheap and is an easily
obtained form of sweeting. 1t can be
used both for cooking and for table
use. The large yield to be obtained
makes it easy for any farmer to OBJ
tain considerable quantity of syrup
from small area of land.
Anyone who knows how to grow
corn, can also grow sorghum. 1t
should be planted in this locality from
May 10 to 25. One ton of sorghum
should produce from ten to sixteen
gallons of syrup, and an acre yield
varies from sixty to two hundred gal.
Ions.
The best varieties to grow are Early
Amber or Early Orange. Every farm
er who is within reach of mill should
set aside & small amount of ground
for sorghum and endeavor to supply
at least his own table with syrup. It
is to be hoped community mills may
be established in different localities
some have already been partly ar.
ranged for and more should follow
A mill using horse power could be
started for about $3.50. and mill us
ing power probably about $500 A
threshing engine would be a good
source for power and the steam from
the engine could. also, be used for
evaporating the sorghum.

izen is liable to personal service in the
army or navy from the age of nineteen
to forty. Actual service in the ranks
is determined by lot, but substitution
is not permitted. The maximum
strength of the annual contingent is
fixed at 27,500, including 600 for sea
service.
The engagement of voluntary enlist
ed men is for ten years, of which only
two or three years are with the colors.
The navy consists of seven coast
defense ships. There also are a num-
ber of gunboats, twenty-nine torpedo
boats and eight submarines. Eight de-
stroyers were added in 1911-12. Four
others were building in German when
war broke out and were tken over by
the Germans. Four replace boats
have since been laid down in Holland.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sunday, April 2S. (By the
Associated Press) There was in
creased artillery activity on the Toul
sector today. At dawn the Germans
began heavy barrage against part
OF our line. This was accompanied
by intermittent machine gun and rifle
fire.

mean that he is striving to keep the
Americans busy SO they cannot be

sitions on the French battle front.
Under the French high command, in
which all ranks have supreme con-
f1dence, the American forces face the
enemy on the line barring the Ger
mans from Paris and Amiens, where
they have been a certain number of
days.
The Americans, on entering the
line. found their position in rolling
terrain. The artillery was the first on
the line, entering on dark night
which was made red by the continu-
GUS flashes of friendly and hostile
guns. Under a fire which in some
cases was rather heavy, the Ameri-
can gunners took up the positions of
the work of digging in.
When the infantry moved in the
firing was just as intense. In some
ynvo no IN
through villages, were raked now and
then with shrapnel.
Not Especially Active
1t should be understood that this
sector is not especially active in COM
parison with others to the north, al
though it is more active than those
the Americans previously had faced. 4
There has not been a raid on either
side of the line for several days, but
at night the patrols are active, Ameri-
cans approaching close to the enemy's
lines. All during the nights rapid ma
chine gun and rifle fire indicate where
the American bullets are keeping out
enemy patrolling parties. The march
from the billet bases to the lines was
very impressive. Many units started
off with the strains of the "Star
Spangled Banner" played by regi-
mental bands, in their ears.
Announcement that American troops
had entered the allied line in Picardy
east of Amiens was made by the Par
is war office last Wednesday night.
The Germans that day attacked the
British, French and Americans along
lengthy front from north of the
Somme to below Castel.
