Chicago, Feb 2l--Germany was in
dlcted on thirteen counts for flagrant
violation Of international law by John
Winslow, chief justice of the Wiscon-
sin supreme court in an address here
today before the congress Of National
Service and of the National Security
League. His subject was "The Over
throw of International Law and What
it Means to the World" In fis de-
nuncation of Germany's breach of
tke rules OF the conduct of nations
Judge Winslow took only those vio-
lations which by their very nature
must have been perpetrated by COM
mand of those in autharity and which
are therefore chargeable to the gov
ernment and cannot be excused or
minimized as the lawless acts of in
dividual ruffians in uniform"
The violations cited by Judge Wins
low were
Violation Of Belgium's neutrality a
two fold violation marking breach
of The Hague code protecting neu-
trails as well as specific agreements
guaranteeing Belgium immunity from
attack"
Bombardment of undefended towns
and hospitals.

EXAMINATION FOR DRAFT
IS HELD COMPULSORY
Men Failing To Appear When
Called Will Be Ordered
Arrested This Is New
Ruling Made

If you don't appear for physical ex-
animation you are in very very bad
with your Uncle Samuel, and further
more, you will be arrested tried and
more than likely sentenced to spend
time in q federal prison
In other words, men who fail to
appear for their physical tests at the
time set for their appearance will be
given the same treatment given men
who fail to fill out and return their
questionnaires, it was announced by
the adjutant general yesterday.
Sheriffs of the state who have been
dilitary in aiding the exemption board
to find the delinquents will also be
posted by the adjutant generals Of
flee as "slackers."
Many men failed TO appear during
the early examinations but these were
allowed to take their examinations
after the dates set for them. After
Saturday. the names Of all men fail
ing to appear will be given to the po-
lice department and the men will be
treated just the same as IL they
were slackers.
1t is necessary that the physical ex-
aminations be completed as soon as
possible and so no leniency will be
shown men who fail to appear as or
dered.
The examinations to date show thai
about 79 per cent Of the drafted men
are found to be cit for full military
service, which is an unusual showing
The rest are listed for limited OF
special service and there are but
few rejected as unfit for any service
whatever.

Use of poison gases and liquid fire.
Levying Of fines and penalties up

is by no means complete, but it
seems to be ample for present pur-
poses. The rulers of the central
empires have not only acted as If the
laws and customs of civilized war
fare, the faith Of treaties and the die
t1tes Of the commonest humanity
were subordinate to military con
yenience, but they have not been
ashamed to assert this damnable doc
trine.
"In view of these outrages Amer
lea will not, she cannot, look back
ward She will fight freedoms fight,
and she will keep the faith. She has
never yet failed in a struggle for
human liberty and now at this fateful
hour, when, with dauntless spirit
she is entering upon the greatest OF
freedoms battles, bearing with her
hopes, the fears and the prayers OF
humanity itself, she cannot fail"

ARKANSAS RIVER NOT
NAVIGABLE, SAYS COURT
Long Fought Case In Federal
Court Is Decided BY Judge
Cotteral In Lengthy
Decision Today

The Arkansas river bed oil case was
decided Thursday morning by Judge
J II Cotteral in the federal court now
in session in Guthrie The decision is
very long and discussed the legisla-
ton treaties, reports of civil engi-
Leers and court decisions from the
time of the Louisiana Purchase to the
filing of this suit by the government
10 cancel leases in the Arkansas riv-
cf bed opposite lands owned by the
Usage tribe The practical point is
the navigability of the Arkansas river
where il runs along the Usage reser-
vation. Incidentally the Turkey Is
land case goes with this case, except
that the administrator Of Thomas, de-
ceased, has not filed his motion in
court to revive which can be for
mally entered at any time.
After reviewing at length all the
data available the court announced
that the Arkansas river was not in
fact a navigable river above the mouth
f the Grand river, and that it never
had been. All army and treasury de-
partment reports since 1920 to the
present, with one exception positively
assert that it is not navigable above
the mouth of Grand river. The finding
was that the state was not entitled to
make oil leases Oh the river bed be-
tween the Usage lands and the middle
of the river channel.
The court suggested the continu
ance of the present receivership and
the present method of collecting all
bonus money on oil leases involved
IL this contention until the final ad-
Judication of the contentious. 1t is
expected the state will carry the case
I tg the supreme court of the United
States for final decision of Its
| claims.
