A memorandum made public by the
war department concerning the use of
armed guards about industrial plants
contains the following:
Ihe soldier in training who has Of
fered bis life for the defense of cOun-
try should not sacrifice his effective
ness by performing police duty in the
protection of property back of the
lines. This is the duty Of the citizen
ut home.
"The thcntcr for operations for
armed soldiers Is the battlefield Of
Europe. Each civilian should aid his
country by acting as guard for the
detection and prevention Of intrigue,
deceit, and all the familiar stealthy op-
erations Of the enemy, in our midst.
Each soldier unnecessarily detailed as
n guard in this country aids and abets
the enemy In Europe.
"Oftcn n guard may be needed for
the safety of factory. When it is,
1t should be supplied by the owner Of
the factory, by the municipality, or by
the state.
These measures apply not only TO
manufacturing plants, but are equally
applicable to shipyards, grain clcya-
tors. and stores Of supplies"

The necessity for thorough and con
ttnuous training of troops In gas dc.
fcnSe is shown by statement proved
by captured German documents:
The Germans at Il certain position
on the western front knew the British
were planning to deliver gas at
tack on n German division equipped
with masks. but poorly trained in their
use. In spite Of the fact that they
had several days to drill before condi-
tlOns were suitable for the British at
tack, when 1t was finally made hun
drcdS Of German casualties resulted
Many kinds Of gases are used in
modern warfare. Some merely affect
the eyes temporarily, and are more
inconvcnicnt than serious. Other gases
are terrible in their effect unless prop
er protection Is liable. They are
employed in clouds, or in shells,
bombs, and hand grenadcs
1t is the work OF the field training
section Of the gas defense service to
bring home to the American soldier
the Importance Of his gas mask to
thoroughly drill him in It's use and
to inspire confidence in its efficiency

More frequent and more prctcntlous
raids undertaken by both sides along
the entire western front are regard
ed rs forernnners Of an offensive. The
raids are made to feel out the enemy,
to find, If possible, the weak spots in
his lines. The many German raids are
believed to have been made necessary
ny the air superiority Of the allies
along the greater part Of the western
front. Unable to gain the information
they need through their airmen, the
Germans have been forced to resort
to raids in order to learn the strength
of the opposing forces Mt various
points on the front.

to warrant the assertion that 1t more

Speculation as to Gcrmany's we'll
advertised offensive on the western
front has continued, with opinion di-
vided ms to whether such an offensive
really will he launched. In some quar-
lerS 1t Is believed that Germany is SO
fully occupied with developments In
Russia and is so intent upon accom-
piShing her designs In the east that
she will not undertake an offensive in
tho west but will be content to main
tain defensive attitude. Those TAX
ing this view believe that Germany's
idea is that n deadlock on the west
front will force the allies to agree to
Il peace by negotiation and that under
such circumstances she will be able to
attain al her imperialistic designs in
the east.
On the other hand, further conccn.
trntion of troops on the western front
is taken by some authorities as indi-
eating that Germany really intends to
launch q determined offensive in
France. General Maurice chief direc.
tor of military operations at the Brit.
iSh war office, declares that the enemy
is now ready to strike on the western
front at any moment suitable to his
purpose He declares that the allies
remain superior in guns, rifles and air.

tagc i'm these particulars is steadily

extent that Americans may learn more
about what their soldiers are doing
in France. The appointment of Gen

 WILL BEGIN TODAY.

Edwardsyile, H.. May 27-Atter eleven days of examination, during which more than 725 talesmen called from all parts of Madison county had been questioned, a jury to try the eleven men charged with the lynch ing of Robert Paul Praeger, alleged German spy at Collnsvlle, April 5 was selected late today
 Taking of testimony n the case will begin tomorrow.
 As soon as the jury was sworn in Assistant States Attorney Strueber said: We do not represent Praeger nor any o-German. nor any pro- German sentiment We have made an effort to keep possible pro-Germans off the jury and I believe We have one that is 100 per cent loyal If Praeeer was either pro German or a spy there was a remedy at law and we aim to show that a mob took the law upon itself which is in itself a violation"

GENERAL WOOD WILL NOT
 BE SENT OVERSEAS
GENERAL WOOD URGED THE DE APARTMENT TO ASSIGN HIM TO SOME ACTIVE DE-
 APARTMENT.

Washington, May Major Gen eral Leonard Wood, senior officer of the regular army, has been detached from command Of the S9th division and will not lead that division when it goes to France. II was learned today that he is slated to command the western department with headquarters at San Francisco. The general was at the war department duRng the day confer ferring with Secretary Baker and other officials and it is said he urged strongly that if he must stay at home he at least be given an assignment promising more active duty than a command in the west, There was no official announcement of the change in General Woods orders Secretary Baker would make no statement ou the subject formal or otherwise, merely saying it was not the custom of the department to explain orders to officers.
 Up to a day or two ago at most there was nothing to indicate that the department had any other purpose than to send the general to the front when his division went. General Wood underwent physical examina- ton on his return from France where he was wounded by the bursting of a French gun. He passed all tests, and it was then indicated that the only possible obstacles to his being sent to the division had been removed.
 Secretary Baker declined to com ment on suggestions that the latest development might be construed as manifestation of the disfavor with which it has been publicly alleged the administration looks upon the off cer.
 General Woods close association with former President Roosevelt. among the most unsparing critics of the administration, and particularly of the war department, has led to as sertions with regard to assignments
 There have been instances in the past where officers wanted by the state department to command large units to go over the seas have been relieved by orders from Pershing.

 have been in charge of the drive fol raising Garland county's share of the one hundred million dollar war fund of the American Red Cross held then last meeting and disbanded They had succeeded in raising trifle more than twenty-six thousand dollars.

The mo ton was carried unanimously with the understanding that if man called upon found t impossible to go himself into the fields he would supply a sub stitute. Mir. Hewlett was instructed to give to the County Coupcil of De- fense the names of ali wha had thus pledged themselves for this work
 Mir Davis spoke upon the problem of boys who left the farms and came to town doing unessential things, go- ing about from petty job to petty job, and asked that something be done to discourage these so that their work could be used on the farm proftaDiy to them as well as to the farmer and meet the problem of production.
 Of the local men a number spoke upon the campaign, stated their erat- ification over the results obtained and their regret that the worK was ovc-, While they had given freely of their time and money these stated that they had thoroughly enjoyed putting such a big thing over

BILE win at Bartlett gym last night

furnished a fairly hot tilt, decision
being reached by virtue of Auth, a

Maroon's basket by mistake. Auth had
just been Jared in collision on the
floor, hence the oversight. Only for
this the Maroon seconds might have
been bumped The score was Il to 10,
and at half time the jackies had a
9-to-S lead.
The main battle was too much of a
runaway to be interesting The Ma

points with every tick of the timers
