The trucks are five ton, made by

APATHY OF SALEM PEOPLE

The Red Cross meeting last night was failure. Only
half dozen attended the meeting and it impossible
to take any action sory the local chapter in need
assistance
This lack Of interest is unexplainable Many Salem
boys are already in France and will soon be there
The Red Cross work will be thei main reliance in case
Of wounds or sickness
Why cannot their own people md their friends here
realize this? 1t is possible we are never going to reach
the point of taking the war seriously?
The boys who have gone to the front have given the
full measure Of devotion to the country; we who remain
behind ought to give labor our money to sustain
the to insure all possible comfort and assistance if for
nothing more in order to make them an effective fighting
force.
Salem, the capital city of great state is apathetic and
her people refuse to turn from the ordinary occupations
OF life its business and is recreaols and amusemens
assist the Red Cross in the most important work for
winning the war that can be carried in behind the lines
How many Of our people can say with clear con-
science that the yare doing their full duty to their country
and to the Oregon boys they have encouraged to go
the front? The ascO of the attempted meeting of the
committee OF one hundred gives answer that no ex
cuses can modify or soften 1t is appalling indictment
Of the community.

ATLANTA MAYOR
CONTINUED from page one)

AS Mrs. Hirsch opened the door,
Mavor Gambler testified, Cook entered
exclaiming: "Ah, hal So this is our
honorable mayor"
The mayor asserted he then asked
Cook and Mrs. Hirsch to explain the
meaning OF the scene. While receiving
none. he Immediately went to the Of
flee of lis son. Asa G. Gambler, Jr., on
another floor of the building. Return
ing TO his office, moment or so later
Gambler declafed. Cook had left the Of
flee but Mrs. Hirsch was still there.
She left shortly afterward, he said.
Gambler testified that he then tele-
phoned Forest Adair and brother OF
his to come Immediately to his office.
A few minutes later Mrs Hirsch called
him on the telephone, Gambler stated,
said she was at her husbands s office
and requested that he come there i'm
mediately.
On the advice of Adair, Gambler tes-
titled. he told Mrs. Hirsch he would
call her in few minutes, but that he
did not do so. He then placed the
matter in the hands of his son and
Adair. he said. as he feared there was
a. something afoOt.
Gambler next told of several meet
ings with Cook, who demanded on
each occasion that Gambler send Mrs
Hirseh cut of Atlanta and take care OF
her. for he. as a friend of Mrs.
Hirsch's husband, would expose the
whole affair.
On eross-examination Gambler admits
that Cook made no demands on him for
money at any of these conferences, but
left the inference that such a demand
was made to Forest Adair.
As indicative of Cooks defense
plans. Attorney John R. Cooper, on
cross-examination, questioned Gambler
verv closely as to his relations with
Mrs. Hirsch.
Gambler was asked if, at each meet
ing with Mrs. Hirsch he had not taken
her in his arms, kissing and taking
liberties. To each of these questions
the mayor replied emphatieally ''nO. y

MEN IN THE SERVICE
WILL NOT LOSE VOTE
Names Now On The Registration
Books viii Be Carried Forward
On New List

No soldier or sailor now on the
registration books can be eliminated
from the voting lists, according to At
torney General Ritchie.
The law calls for a new registration
in Baltimore this fall. Thousands of
Baltimoreans are in the service of
their country. They cannot register.
The Election Supervisors find it i'm
possible to make any arrangements
by which they can vote.
Nevertheless, the election officials
must make every reasonable effort to
ascertain the names of men now in
the service of their country and tran
scribe these names from the old books
to the new, writing in the space pro-
vided for the signature of the voter
the words: "Re-entered during mill
tary service"
This rule is imposed by Mr.. Ritchie
in the instructions for election Off
cials, just prepared by him. Author
ity for it is derived from a law passed
at the extra session of the General
Assembly in 1917.

from Annapolis. Men from the camp
at Saunders Range and Camp Meade,
both OF which camps are within easy
distance, are also expected TO attend.
The proceeds of the carnival have
heretofore been devoted to the civic
improvement OF the town, but this year
one-fourth will be donated TO the Anne

the remainder will be used for the
purchase of Liberty bonds.
The management of the carnival is
under the direction of ]. C. Stickler,
