APOLLO CLUB

applause and insistent calls for an en-
core indicated that the Apollo club
was singing to an audience that not
only appreciated their efforts, but was
more than willing to show their appre-
citation.
"The Kilties' March" another mill
tary rousing chorus touched the spirit
of the large audience, and for some
thing in the way of novelty "The
Spectre" was most pleasing.
Lulu Dahl Miller, the Portland solo
ist, received an ovation and besides
her encores to which she graciously re-
sponded, was called before the foot
lights several times in response to con-
tinued applause.
Justice George II. Burnett, honorary
president, spoke briefly Of the inten-
tions of the Apollo club, stating that
it was hoped that within short time
the membership would be at least 40
and that the club was to become one
of Salem $ permanent institutions, not
only in the musical but in the social
world and that all the club asked was
the cooperation of the MUSIC loving
people of Salem.

the accused colonel. He was their
friend-they believed in him, respected
him and were sure that his fall was
due TO the political jobbery and jeaI-
ousy of another American Canadian Of
ficer of high rank who had left the
American army many years before.

Heroic Action
Within few weeks Rasmussen
jumped into notice on dark night
when he personally led raiding hand
full of American Canadians against a
German advanced post. His party was
discovered by the boche sentries in the
front line but they scurried back un-
der sprinkling of machine gun bull
lets, bringing the outpost garrison as
souvenirs. When they counted noses
one American was discovered to be-
missing Refusing volunteers, Rass-
mussen crawled back through the wire
alone and found him wounded.
Just as he picked up the fallen lad
a German hand grenade plunked in his
shellhole. In a flash Rass seized it and
threw ii back, dropping flat in the
same instant, to escape some of the
fragments if it should 90 off too close
by. The grenade blew up in midair,
the explosion bursting one of his ear
drums and fragment wounded him
in the arm. Then he picked up the
wounded boy again and carried him
back to the Canadian lines. The young
ster died just as the willing hands OF
his comrades reached out to take him
from the major.

DEMAND CROWS FOR
 NONESSENT|ALS AS
 SCARCITY ARISES
Retails Dealers Placing Or ders Which Manufactur- CTS Are Unable
 to Fill

Washington, June 9.-Curtailment of the production of less essential articles has greatly stimulated the demand for them. The monthly business condition report of the federal reserve board, issued to- night. says retail dealers and consumers clamor for supplies before they are ex- hausted and place abnormally large or ders which manufacturers in most cases are unable to fill This has been true particularly of the demand for pianos, talking machines and other musical in- struments.
 Business conditions throughout the country continue healthy, with war or ders tending more and more to crowd out orders for civilian consumption. La bor conditions are a. little more set tied. but the supply is still scarce. and in some parts of the east considerable shifting from one industry to another is reported. Money rates in most fed eral reserve districts are steady. Con- struction is light.

 When you first see General Haig--or such is my eXperience-you think what a handsome man he is. When you next | see him you feel what a strong man | he is in body and character. When YOU have seen him often and at close quarters, though you do not lose the
 first impressions. you find his master attribute to be doggedness, qualified but not camouflaged by the quiet man. ner of modest gentleman. Neverthe- less I speak within my knowledge
 when I say that no man in this war
 has accepted criticism, even from civilians and politicians, with more open mind or so overcome military
 prejudices in obedience to the demand of new events "A remarkable example is his rapid promotion during the last six months of civilian soldiers and his entire, whole-hearted acceptance of the war correspondent. to whom at one period he was more vehemently op- ,, posed than any soldier in high com mand

MISSISSIPPI HAS
 DRAFT EVADERS
Posse Leaves Meridian to Round Up Quartet Said to Be Prepared
 to Resist Arrest

Meridian, Miss, June 9-Deputy United States Marshal Boykin left here today for Philadelphia, Miss, responding to an urgent call in connection with the gath ering near the Chisholm farm of a quar- tet of young men wanted by the fed ' eral authorities in connection with al legged violation of army draft rules.
 Before leaving Meridian the federal of fcer requested the civil authorities to subpoena conditionally 90 citizens as members of a posse subject to his call. Six soldiers from Fort Morgan, under command of a lieutenant, last night went to the Chisholm farm to arrest Frank Chisholm, charged with harboring draft evaders, his son Frank. Jr., alleged army deserter. and three young men from neighboring counties said to have failed to report to draft boards. The men were said to be armed and prepared to resist arrest

strange almost that an inland city. not large city, should be so greatly occu pied at this time as Clinton is in the manufacture of boilers which are to ne installed in the ships. Everywhere the men were told that shipbuilding is now progressing very rapidly and it remains with the industrial workers in the va rious machinery and equipment plants to furnish an adequate supply of these equipments so that they can be installed upon the ships as soon as the vessels are ready to receive them. The men prom ised to do their best and their best means a great deal
 In all these industrial centers the wage earners are anxious that noon-day meetings be continued, and it is the pur pose of pr. Eaton and MT.

 The first meeting was held at noon at a large industrial plant and there were N00 wage earners present All seemed to be interested not only in the person ality of the speaker, but in what he was about to say. He began by telling them that he was expected to make telegraphc report to the government at Washington, in which he would set forth the result of the meeting and that it mained with these wage earners to en- able him to make a highly favorable Ie- port He said. furthermore. that he hoped to be able to report hy telegraph to the government that these workers had given unanimous support of thts pledge: "So long as this war lasts III stick to my job: I'll do an honest days work, and I'll do anything else the Pres- ident asks us to do" MT. Soaring said that this pledge was in the nature of an oath and he asked the men to repeat it after him. These 2000 wage earners instantly raised their right hands and repeated this pledge as MT. Soaring pro nounced it, and added: So help me God. Amen" There was not a dissent ing note The next day MT.

These men of industry received him with acclaim; they stood in dense formation intently listening to him and his voice carried far away to the last row, so that even at that remote point all heard him. They repeated the pledge or oath, and their manner made it plain that this was not perfunctoriiy done. Various other meetings were held in Milwaukee, all of them successful and possibly as many as 10,o00 wage earners so pledged themselves that MT. Soaring was able to report by telegraph to Washington that Milwaukee is, so far as it's wage earners are concerned. with the President, with the administration, and with the country, heart and soul, every one ofthese men promising to do his best to aid in the war.
 After the Milwaukee meeting MT. Scar ing visited St Paul and Minneapolis, where he met with equally encouraging support, as also at Saltwater, Racine. Chicago, Clinton, and Duluth.
