FATHER OF HERO BURIED
ON FRENCH SOIL OPENLY
REPUDIATES VARDAMAN

Collins. Miss, June 28.-That Mis-
gissippi fathers do not whine nor
crave for sympathy from such as have
opposed the entry of the United
States in the war, even though the
struggle for justice and freedom costs
the lives of their sons, is shown IN
a letter written to Senator James X.
Vardaman by J. H. McDermit, of Col
Inns, Miss. Mr.. McDermit received a
sad message from the War Depart
ment about a week ago which appris-
ed him of the death of one of his
sons who was fighting for Old Glory
IN France.
Senator Vardaman, it is reported,
sent a letter of sympathy to the al
Hicted parent. He likewise sent some
of his campaign literature to Mr.. Nc
Dermit, with the request that he dis
tribute it in the interest of the Sen
ator, who is a candidate for re-elec-
ton.
No doubt the Senator, who has
gained an unenviable position in the
minds of the American people for his
opposition to the war and his per
sistent attacks on the administration
thought that he would find a ready
friend in McDermit, whom the wal
had cost the loss of one of his sons
Mr.. McDermit formerly was a warm
supporter of Senator Vardaman.
But the Senator seems to have
peculiar conception of the patriotism
of the American people. Instead Of
receiving a letter from Mr.. McDermit

in which he cursed the war that cost
him SO dearly, Senator Vardaman re.
ceiyed the most stignable rebuke OF
his career. Mr.. McDermitt, in his
letter, points out that he is in hearty
accord with the war, that he believes
that his son has died in a holy cause
and that he rejoices in his sorrow IN
the glad knowledge that his boy has
not shed his blood in vain:
Mr.. McDermit scorns the attempt
of Senator Vardaman to enlist his
support in the most convincing way.

against the Selective Draft, and said
that the boys who were selected to de-

war was declared, and after we were
fighting for the freedom of America,
you were interviewed, and you said
"Then again it was proposed if we
did not fight Germany now-stab her

have her down-that we would have

Married Men With Children
Can Get New Classification.
Tandy Explains How They Can
Escape the Draft.
DIVORCE WORKS OTHER WAY
From Wife Puts
Man in Glass One.
NOn-SuppOrt of Family Puts
Man Into Service.

Married men placed in class of the
draft because they have no children
or dependents other than their wives
will be reclassified and placed in class
in the event of visit by the stork
to the family circle, it was pointed
out today by w. G. Tandy, chairman
of Topeka draft board No. 1. Tandy
called attention to the fact that regis
trants are required to keep their local
boards advised as to changes in status,
or liability to military service.
In view of what seems to be a gen.
eral impression that once a classifica-
ton is made the class of the regis
trant is closed, Tandy asserted that
any change in a registrant's liability
for service would result in his case
being reopened by the local board
Several cases wherein reclassification
would result were cited by the chair
man.
Divorce Removes Exemption.
In case a married man with no chill
dren is placed in class 2, and either
he or the wife sues for a divorce, the
registrant in the eyes of the draft
board, is a single man again and goes
in class /. Death of the wife brings
about the same situation. If man
with a wife and children gains de-
ferred classification on dependency
claims and then fails to support his
family, he goes to war in one of the
first calls. Responsibility of reporting
changes in status is placed upon the
registrant.
Some Cases Reopened.
AS the result of an invitation issued
by Tandy recently wherein he asked
those who believe classifications made
to be erroneous to place their in
formation before the local board
one or two cases have been re-
opened. One man was placed in class
4 originally. but was placed "a class
after additional information had been
placed in the boards hands. Cases
can be reopened both for more ad-
vanced or more deferred classification
However. absolute proof must accom-
pany all such claims.

HE-GOSSIPS IN ARMY?
Court Martial Awaits Soldiers Who
Circulated False Story No. L.

washington, Feb. 49, = Surgeon
General Gorgas today started an active
campaign against rumor mongers by
inviting the assistance of every citizen
in the effort to trace every sensational
story regarding the health or condi-
ton of living of soldiers. A report
that sixteen soldiers had frozen to
death at Camp McClelland. Admission.
Ala, is the latest to come to the at
tention of the surgeon general This
story has since been traced to three
soldiers who have been on leave from
Camp McClelland and they will be
courtmartialed.
Mai Gen. Charles G. Morton. COM
manding the "Blue and Gray division"
made the following comment on the
case:
Men who spread such rumors ac-
complish a great deal of harm. They
cause mothers and fathers unnecessary
apprehension as to the treatment be-
ing accorded their sons in the military
service. 1 regard it as very unfortu-
nate that the names, company and
regiment of these men were not placed
on record so that they might be prop
eriy dealt with. There is no suffering
here due to cold, lack of shelter lack
of food or lack of anything else which
contributes to physical comfort"
