NOTICE TO PARENTS.

I wish to take this method of re- questing the parents of a number of boys who have been tresspassing on my property to assist me in break ing up this practice. Besides being extremely annoying, the habit of these young men of making free, with the lake on my place and of firing rifles promiscuously is dangerous both to my family and themselves. This place is entirely enclosed and is post ed. and unless this tresspassing is stopped I shall be forced to take legal action against any boys found on it without permission.

TO Get SLACKERS
Leaving Country Will Do Them
+. No Good.
Will Be Nabbed the Moment
They Come Back.

Washington, May 23.-Slackers who
leave the country to escape the draft
will be prosecuted under the selective
service act on their return, Attorney
General Gregory announced today.
at has been brought to my atten-
ton" said the attorney generals state
ment, that a number of men of con-
scription age have left, and that even
now occasionally others are leaving
the country to evade military service.
''SlackerS are presumably laboring
under the delusion that by securing a
temporary residence In another coun-
try for the duration of the war. they
may escape their military obligations
and upon the termination of the war
may return here to enjoy the fruits of
sacrifice in which they had no part
when this struggle is completed.
however, such men on seeking admis-
sion to the United States will find that
it will be necessary for them to stand
trial on indictments charging them
with violation of the selective service
act. These trials will be vigorously
prosecuted and the maximum penalty
provided by the act will be urged upon
conviction.
To Deny Citizenship.
The passage of time will not pre-
vent the bringing of prosecutions
Such non-registrants and deinquents
must return for military service 81
become permanent expatriates with
all future rights of United States citi-
zenship denied them. The government
at no time hereafter will be inclined
to grant any general amnesty to such
men.
ut should also be clearly under
stood by the general public that who
ever assists another to escape from
this country to evade military service
or whoever assists to maintain in a
foreign county one who has fled
there to escape military service, is
guilty Of violation of the espionage
act and upon conviction becomes liza

HUGHES ASKS NO AID
He REQUESTS That Senate Let Him
Alone in Investigation.

Washington, May 23.-In a vigorous
letter sent to the senate military at
fairs committee, Charles E. Hughes
made it plain that the aircraft in
vestigation by the department of JUS
allel inquiry by the committee.
In taking this stand against continu-
ance of the committees investigation,
it is understood that Mr.. Hughes re-
fleets the wishes Of the president who
has been opposed to the committees
action.
1t is probable that the committee
itself will waive its right to continue
with the inquiry and will consent to
let Mr.. Hughes conduct the investiga-
ton along the lines he has laid down.
Attorney General Gregory is in en-
tire accord with the views of Mr..
Hughes. This was revealed in his
letter to Senator Chamberlain trans
hitting the letter of Mr.. Hughes. The
attorney general wrote to Senator
Chamberlain as follows: 81
NY Dear Senator:
At an interview between you. Judge
Hughes and myself On last Saturday. you
asked what would be the. scope of our

By increasing the German repre-

by the Czechs. This adhesion of op-
ponents caused Emperor. Charles to
order parliament dissolved early in
the present year.
1t is clear that this device of the
Pan Germans is bound to arouse the
most violent opposition on the part
of the Czechs. A dispatch, printed in

DUTCH SHIPS IDLE
Seven Vessels Await Agreement
in American Ports.
Charters Have Expired, Cap
tains Refuse to Re-Charter.

Washington, May "a second
shipping controversy is impending re-
garding disposition of Dutch ships for
merly under charter by the shipping
board and not included in the recent
reouisition by the American govern
ment.
The owners of seven Dutch veNSels
aggregating 10000 tons, whose char
ters have expired, have refused to re-
charter them to the shipping board
Not having been included in the requl-
sition order they cannot be forced
into American service at present.
This government, it is understood,
has refused to allow these ships to
load and clear for Holland-the result
being that they are tied up at Atlantic
ports.
Still More Soon.
Charters of several other ships
which soon will expire under similar
conditions. will not be renewed. it is
said. This will leave several thousand
tons lying idle, unless a new reQuisi-
tioning order is mace. Such action
however, will be resented, even more
strongly than the first seizure, Off
Gals declare.
With the food situation in Holland
daily becoming more acute, resent
ment toward the United States is in
creasing, it is learned officially, and
any further delay in the victualine
program will accentuate the crisis.

CLOUDBURST in SMITH
Considerable Damage Done to Crops
Five Inches in an Hour.

Reamsville, May 23.-The rain
storm that visited Smith county Mon
day night proved very destructive in
the north tier of townships, according
to reports just coming in. In many To-
calities a deluge of rain fell and crops
suffered great damage, wheat being
laid flat and thousands of acres of
corn washed out or buried. There
were also big losses in the way of
drowned chickens and pigs. At this
place over four inches of water fell
within an hour land at Womer over
five inches. Creeks soon became roar
ing rivers and new high-water marks
