PRICE OF LEADERSHIP AMONG
FIGHTING MEN BEING WILLING
Ly PAID BY MEN OF THE CLOTH
IN ALL SECTIONS OF COUNTRY.

WASHINGTON, July 7-(By the
Associated Press)-Since the price of
leadership among fighting men, now
as always, is willingness to share dan
ger and death. chaplains with Amer
lean armies are not hesitating to pay
1T.
Two of them, Father Dougherty and
the Rev. Lyman H Rollins, were or
dered back from France and after
days stay in Washington gent to
Camp Zachary Taylor. at Louisville,
that men of the cloth undergoing
preliminary training period there
may have the benefit of the expert
ence of those who have preceded them.
Lieutenant Rollins. living up to the
requirement that c;laplains must stay
with charges followed a battalion of
New England infantry "over the top"
a few weeks ago, but came back un-
scratched. while Father Dougherty,
who ranks as a major. served in staff
capacity for the ministerial corps.
While only one chaplain. Captain
Walton s. Banker Of Worcester, Mass.
has paid the price in full on June
1S and lies now in a grave near a
shell crater in the making of which
he received fatal wound. the quiet
acceptance of the soldiers risk is
winning for manw others of the corps
high standing among their men. The
Rev. Frederick H. banker, brother of
the gallant dead man. and himself a
worker for the Yourg Mems Chris
tan Association, was with him during
his last hours.
At Seicheprey and Cantigny, priests
and ministers who wear the uniform
have, unarmed, held their places with
the moving ranks, and will continue
tao do so while the present spirit
rules.
In the Louisville camp. chaplain re-
cruits are spending five weeks living
the life of a private. They take the
drills an dlaoor. with the added eff
fort Of absorbing lectures and lessons
upon army organization. The armv
now has 700 chaplains in service. and
$50 more are ready for assignment
Protestant chaplains are selected
the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ. while Catholics
are named through Father O'Hearn,
Of the Paulist order. assigned to a sta
ton near the War Department for the
purpose.
About 200 additional chaplains will
be added shortly.

Soldiers From Camp Sheridan
Throw Bomb in Ranks of
Alleged Slackers.

Quite a sensation was caused in
Mobile Saturday night and early sun
day morning, according to Sunday
papers, when more than two hundred
soldiers from Camp Sheridan, at
Montgomery, assisted by probably a
score from Fort Morgan suddenly
appeared in the city and rounded UP
at least 1.200 young men who could
not show their registration card nor
any evidence OF their having been
registered in the draft. They were all
taken to the federal building, where
they were held under guard until
the proper credentials could be shown.
In addition to loafers, whom the
soldiers found in large numbers, 1t is
said, a number of young men en-
ployed in non-essential work were also
taken into custody Among these were
soda dispensers. pool room employees
and loafers. clerks. etc. and all will
ductive employment, or else suffer
otherwise.
The Registers Story.
This is the way the Register of
Sunday morning carried the rather
sensational story:

the wheat and It is charged he told
an officer of the United States food
administration he would let bugs
eat the wheat rather than sell II TOT
less than $3.50 bushel.

fore J. e. Parker, special attorney oil
the United States food administra-
ton, at Wichita, on charge OF
boarding. He also was charged with
failure to obtain a license to do bust
ness.

diligent in getting another. He adj
mitted that he had failed to make
REPORTS of his business and that he
had failed to sell the wheat. He adj
mitted saying he intended to hold
the wheat, but said he did not mean
it because he was losing money by
holding It, He said he would sell
the wheat in the next two weeks. he
said the 1000 bushels had shrunk to
