Ernm Thr-sdaY's DailY.O

Mrs. Carrie A. Young. who for the past ten days had been making a hard fight against a combined attack of Spanish influenza and pneumonia died shortly after seven o'clock last night at the Mercy Hospital in this city. Her son Lincoln, aged Y years, who was also in the hospital following an attack of the same complications, was last night reported to be out Of dan ger. Mrs. Young, who was a skilled nurse and widely known in the city, was first stricken with Spanish in fluenza after she had spent several days in a local sanitarium nursing a patient who was afflicted with the same malady. She can confined to her home several days and then complica- tions set in and finally pneumonia developed. She was removed to the hospital about one week ago.
 Shortly after five o'clock yesterday evening, her son was permitted to talk to her for a few moments. Mamma, you are going to get well, aren't you?" queried the boy, just as he was leaving the room-
 Indeed 1 am going to get well, my boy" the mother replied. "I have too much to live for just now and I'll be all right in a few days Thus reas- sured, the lad took his departure from his mothers room, only to be apprised of her passing about two hours later
 Mrs. Young had been resident of this city for about six years. She was a woman possessed of an unusually pleasing personality and had won many friends through her kind min istrations in the sick room. The news of her demise will bring a pang of genuine regret to her acquaintances and will call forth many expressions of sympathy for the young son who is bereft of a mothers loving kindness.
 No funeral arrangements had been made last night Whether the remains will be inferred in a local cemetery or forwarded to Mrs. Young's old home in New England had not yet been decided upon. Rev. ,. H. Batten of the Congregational church will have charge of the obsequies.

Compulsory military services is not founded upon confidence but upon timidity:. it is not founded upon freedom but upon the denial of lib- erty: and it should always be avoid ed except when there is no other way to find soldiers"
 Did Not Want To Fight.
 The following excerpt from Hay den's speech against conscription probably explains why he waited a year and a half before going to war:
 Our chief part in this conflict, and for it, we are well prepared, is to see 10 it that the veterans who have learned through two years of bitter struggle the way to drive the Ger mans back, shall not suffer for food or clothing or for an abundance of all forms of the arms and ammuni- ton which are required in such great quantities in modern warfare. Our people are not trained to arms and the year that must be spent before any large number of our soldiers can be fitted for service on the battle fronts of Europe, might better be spert in using these same men in the production of the things that the AL lies most sorely need. It follows logically that if our greatest contribu- .tion to the war is to be in the form of products of our fields and mines and factories, then but limited num- Der cf men should be permitted to cease from work of national import ance in order to become soldiers. To send such men out of the country would not only be an economic but q military waste.
 Let us not pay Prussian militar- ism, which we are seeking to destroy, the compliment of adopting the most hateful and the most baneful of its in stitutions."
 The conscription act, which Hay den thus opposed, has been declared by many great publicists the great est single piece of legislation since the government was founded because it adopts the principal that upon the shoulders of every man regardless Of his position in society or his wealth lies the burden of defending his coun- try in time of war It put the ad- ministration of the draft in the hands of boards made up of citizens of the community instead of army officers. It put the son of the rich man beside the son of the poor man in the tren- ches. Yet this is the measure which Hayden opposed so bitterly and likcn- cd unto the kaiser's despotism.
 His Narrow Vision.
 Hayden had been a major in the national guard in time of peace but apparently profited little by his mili- tary experience, which consisted al most solely of strike duty. His vision was too narrow to sec the great bene fits of the draft as conceived by Gen eral Crowder, Julius Kahn, who in troduced it in the house and other military leaders of that body Hayden, with his pacifict views, could not con ceive of the time when the United States would want to put an army of four million men in Europe. thing which it could not possible have done without the draft

SLAY AND LOOT IN SCISSORS
Bishop of City Says Churches Are Pill
LACED by Huns, Who Murder
Refugees.

Paris, June 10-The bishop of Sois-
sons, who is now in Paris, described
the havoc wrought in the bishopric Of
scissors during the recent offensive of
the Germans. He said 100 churches
had been RACED to the ground by the
Germans and that at least 100 others
had been pillaged and partially de-
molished. The famous cathedral of
scissors suffered severely.
The bishop added that the Germans
knew neither faith nor law; they knew
nothing but war and pillage. They
were methodically stripping and car
rying away everything, he said.
The bishop also asserted that wom-
en-, children and old men had been bru-
tally murdered by German aviators,
who flew over and with their machine
guns fired upon long lines of refugees
on country roads.
