LAvACK AFTER WOMEN FOR
PAINTING HIS PLACE YELLOW

An interesting case at law has de-
veloped in Baraga over the celebration
of the signing Of the armistice. Ac-
cording to our most reliable informa-
tion we Lave been given to understand
that the business places of Baraga
agreed to close up Monday evening to
take part in the parade. This Sol
Lavack refused to do, and after it
was seen that he was not going to fall
in line with the rest of the merchants,
the ladies got together and painted
the front of his business place yellow.
Mr.. Lavack swore out warrant for
four ladies and they will be brought to
trial next Wednesday afternoon in
Baraga.
The citizens of Baraga are going to
make holiday of the affair, and we
understand that everyone will put on
his best clothes and attend court.
God bless the jurymen who set in
this case.

A belated letter received by Miss
Kathryn Papin of Assrnins tells of the
severe wounding of John w. Asher Of
Zeba, in action on the battlefelds of
France September 27th. Some time
ago we heard that Mr.. Asher had been
wounded, but we were unable to vcrc
fly the statement until Miss Papin
came to our assistance.
Writing from the Royal Victoria
Hospital at Netley Hants, Mr.. Asher
sends cheerful message, even though
he has poured forth blood in demo-
cracy's cause. He ends up his re-
marks with the statement that he
don't mind his wounds, for he had his
fun with the Germans before they got
him, firing his gun to the last.

DRAFT CALLS HAVE
BEEN CANCELLED

Almost the first announcement of
the War Department after word was
received of the signing of the arniis-
tice, was to the effect that all army
draft calls under which more than
300, 900 men had been ordered to en-
train before November 30th, were can
celled.
Urgent kilograms, prepared at the
direction of Marshal Gen. Crowder,
were sent to all local draft boards di-
recting that the movement of 252, 200
men, under orders to entrain by today,
be stopped Immediately.
The kilograms reached most of the
boards in time, but a few men are
known to have started for camp. Sec
retary Baker said, however, that
wherever possible their immediate re-
turn to civil life would be arranged.
81 have suspended further calls un-
der the draft and inductions," Mr.. Ba-
ker said. "There will be for the pres
ent no additional men brought in un-
der the draft and, to the extent that
we can, we will turn back those men
who have been entrained and have not
yet reached training camps"
Until further notice no inductions
or calls, except for the navy and ma
rine corps, will be permitted. One
call for a few thousand men for the
navy is now in preparation, but vol
unteers have more than filed the re-
e1:rements of. navy and marine corps.

RETURN OF ARMY
WILL BE SLOW.

Americas armies may take a year
or two demobilizing. This is the gen
eral war department estimate. The
department is doing nothing toward
rehabilitation until it is assured that
Germany has fulfilled the armistice
terms. Demobilization plans, howev-
er, are all made. In fact, they were
mapped out along with mobilization
plans by the general staff. On the
whole, the rehabilitation will follow
the selective system. Men longest ov-
erseas and those most needed in indus
try will be the first returned.
The shipping problem viii offer
some difficulties.
Britain plans to withdraw her trans
ports from the American service, TAX
ing care of her Australian, Canadian
and Indian troops, hence the return of
our troops will be slowed up immedi-
ately. Still another phase of demo
bilization which spells a year or two
years. foreign service for many troops
is the need for police duty abroad
One phase of rehabilitation calls
for return of men to this country, fol-
sending them to camps and feeding
them back into industry as industry
adjusts itself.
Secretary Baker has given the plair
warning that it will be many months
before the last man is out OF KHAKI
and back at a productive task.
The general plans are so adjusted
that there will be no sudden gluttine
Of the labor market with resultant
"hard times" era.

The rector of St. Mary's, Rev. Father
Warren, made splendid address to
the mothers. He told of their far
reaching influence and their duties in
the home and in the outside world.
His pleasing talk made a deep i'm
preston on the mothers and others
present.
Ex-senator A. Theodore Brady
spoke feelingly of mothers and told
of their wonderful influence over their
children, illustrating by way of his
own mother, one of those Mothers in
Israel" who was beloved by the COM
munity in which she lived not only
for her work in the home, but her
charitable work in the community

distress.

PLEBE CREW SHOWS
HEELS TO CENTRAL.

Taking the lead at the very start
and never being headed during the
whole of the course, Dick Glendon' s
Navy Plebes on Saturday afternoon
ran away from the eight-oared crew
of Philadelphia Control High School,
winning the race by over five lengths
in the very good time of minutes and
Sc seconds. Particularly pleasing to
Navy adherents was the time of the
race, the clocking showing that the
Plebes covered the mile and five
siXteenths in the same time as PENIS
varsity crew two weeks ago when the
takers won from the Middies.
The contending crews got away to
a perfect start at the word Of the
referee, John NJ Green, president of
the Severn Boat Club of Annapolis.
Both got OFF at a stroke of 40 10 the
minute, which they maintained for the
first couple of hundred yards. Then
the Plebes settled down to pull that
varied between 81 and SO, while the
High School lads plugged along at 81.
Centrars oarsmen rowed along
gamely, however. but their efforts to
cut down the lead were in vain
