United States officials are an
nouncing TO all local medical ad-
visory and boards of instruction
that mob rule and mob violence in
the treatment of prO-Germans is TO
be deprecated and that law and or
der must be maintained in America.

jutant General r. S Dickson.
MIR. Connolly states that Adju-
tant General Dickson and other
prominent army men addressed the
convention on the situation that has
arisen over mob taking charge ami
Furnishing pro-Germans.
The adjutant general states that
this has become a serious matter
and that the imperial German gov
eminent is taking advantage Of the
results Of mob action in the further
ance Of German propaganda.
SEtGiIAc AHCiutIiIs
The hanging of Robert Prayer at
CollinsvilIe. H., was specially re
ferred to, and statement was made
that the imperial German govern
ment was using this incident to
further propaganda in Central and
South America.
The adjutant made a special in
yeStigati0n of the affair at Collins
vile and was told that the matter
was entirely local, but he states
the hanging has become Of great
moment and injurious to the cause
OF humanity for which the United
States is fighting. Prayer was
hanged at midnight April +, follow
ing a speech he had made at Marys-
vile. Ill, on AMI 3, when, while
speaking on Socialism he is alleged
to have made remarks derOgatoTy
to President Wilson. Prayer was
a miner and was speaking to an
assembIage Of miners who drove
him out of Marysville, followed him
to COllinsville, his home. and after
OverpOwering the police at that
place took Prayer mile from the
town and lynched him.
Such acts as this. the adjutant
stated, are to be deploTed, and they
are also injurious to the cause of
the United States. All persons hav-

EVACUATION OF KENNEL
DlsAPPOINTS GERMANS
Giving Up Of Strategic Stronghold
Southwest of Ypres Done With
Heavy Heart"

AMSTERDAM, Thursday. September
apparently it has not been possible
to hide from the German people the bit
ter disappointment among the German
mi'.,ary authorities over the evacuation
Of KENNEL, one of the strategic strong
holds southwest of Ypres.
The Lokal Anzeiger's military CORE
spondent says the evacuation was eff
fected with a heavy heart" and adds
that the sole comfort surrounding the
withdrawal was that it was voluntary
and that it served a tactical PURPOSE
affecting the whole army on the west
front, which does not hesitate at sac
rificing a mere place when a purpose is
to be attained"
More outspoken Is Rooster, military
writer in the Berlin Eorwaerts, who is
completely at loss to understand why
'the proud KENNEL bastion'' was sur
rendered. This writer says Ghe future
alone will tell what purpose this ma
neuver served.
He concludes. however, that from the
fact that two American divisions had
been seen on that part Of the front some
enemy coup had been planned which
now had been cleverly frustrated with
out casualties.
