(By Associated Press.)

Louisville, KY, July 10.-Some of
the men to come to the National Army
cantonments at Camp Zachary Taylor
In the first quota of selected recruits
came reluctantly. These same men as
members of the saith division, National
Army, recently transferred to Camp
Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, wouldnt
quit the army II they could.
illustrating this change in feeling,
company commanders tell many stor-
ies, one Of which concerns a mountain
boy who profanely objected to his ia
TIERS efforts to get him out of the
army. The boys father had written
many letters to the Captain declaring
the lad was not strong and might
break down completely under the
strain of active service. TO make sure
of the boys health the Captain had
sent him before the various medical
boards. Their verdicts were that he
was in good health.
Finally the youngster came to the
Captain and wanted to know If these
frequent orders to appear before med
ical boards was caused by any dis
satisfaction of the Captain with him
Then he was shown his fathers let

Huh, pappy's crazy, Captain" he
said. Il amt delicate. Look at me.
He means well, but you just tell him
to go to blazes. I'm going to France
"And that boy didn't mean to be
disrespectful to- his dad" said the
Captain. "He wanted to go tt
France, and he meant simply to be
emphatic about it.

first arrived while apparently in very
good trim was unable to finish even

San Antonio, Tex, July 10.-Na.
tives of China, refugees from Mexico
and interned prisoners of the United
States, $50 Chinese at Fort Sam
Houston and Camp Travis are doing
their part to help the allies of their
country win the war. When Gener.

co, and started back to the border,
the Chinese colony In that section
packed their belongings onto wagons,
carts and burros and trailed out be.
hind the American expeditionary
force. They feared Villa and his
bandits would carry out their threats
to kill all Chinese in Mexico and Gen.
eral Pershing gave them permission
to proceed to the border with his
column.
Arriving at Columbus, N. H., the
Chinese were placed in an lnternment
camp until arrangements we're made
between representatives Of the United
States immigration department, the
Chinese government and the tongs to
which the Chinese belong for their
transfer to San Antonio. Here they
were allotted to the army camps and
posts where they do all classes of
work for the army and do 1t we'll.
Many of these Chinese are wealthy,
having owned stores and ranches In
Mexico. They have endowed bed In
the American hospital at Neuilly,
France, gave what was characterized
as the largest chop suey party ever
held In Texas as Red Cross benefit,
subscribed to Red Cross funds, and
many have bought Liberty Bonds and
Thrift Stamps. Many of the Chinese
have applied for permission to enlist
in the United States army.

TO PICK UP HER HAT
(By Associated Press.)

New York, July 9.-German courts
martial evidently administer the law
with a stern hand in the attempt to
prevent the spread in Germany Of
Bolshevik doctrines. Their applica
tion of the law was denounced in the
Reichstag by the socialist, DR.. Cohn.
as a disgrace to German justice, ac-
cording to the Cologne Gazette.
Citing instances to show how Sc
we're these sentences had been, DIR
Cohn said that a woman who stopped
to pick up her hat which had fallen
on the ground near a trolley car, was
sentenced to serve one and one-half
years in a penitentiary on a charge OF
attempting to endanger transporta-
tion.
