CURTIS ACQUITTED.

Alex Curtis, who conducts a trans
fer business between Hartford and
Beaver Dam, was tried in the Daviess
circuit court Friday, on a charge of
operating an automobile while in an
intoxicated condition, and acquitted,
and thereby hangs a tale.
Early in May the writer employed
Mr.. Curtis to make a trip to Owens
boro for some machinery repairs. On
the way back. when near Masonville,
meeting a wagon at a narrow point
in the road Mr.. Curtis, in an effort to
avert a collision with the team, the
driver of which made no effort to
give part of the road, ran his car into
ditch. After the accident some
irresponsible person telephoned the
sheriff's Office that the wrecked car
was loaded with whisky and beer
being brought to Ohio county for the
purpose of sale. Acting upon such in
formation the sheriff sent his depu-
Ties 10 MdSOnNllie W Hidhc IlSh
tiger" hall. The officers found the
car loaded with only one pint of whis-
ky and two bottles of beer. But the
deputies being, novices, proceeded
to bring in the occupants of the car.
When the officers delivered the car
load of contraband liquor to the coun-
ty Judges office the quantity was so
disappointing that the court was in a
quandary about what course to pur-
sue. But the arrests had been made
and some charge must be preferred.
In the absence of grounds for real
charge Curtis nervousness was con-
strued as intoxication, and he was
slated with a charge of operating an
automobile while in an intoxicated
condition. After hearing the evidence
the jury decided that Mr.. Curtis was
not intoxicated at the time of the
accident, and acquitted him of the
charge.

PLAYED THE DEVIL.

Five Greensboro youths played the
devil for several nights recently in
that city, and brought down fines Of
S17 each. With boyish love of mis-
chief and the wellnigh universal love
to terrorize, the boys dressed up as
ghosts and devils and paraded the re-
mote streets and allies of the city
With red sweaters drawn down parti-
ally over their heads, and with sticks
stiffening the sleeves to give the ap-
pearance of horns, the boys had a
high time till the fall came. The po-
lice took the bunch into the city court
where they were fined on charge Of
disorderly conduct. Beckham Kirby,
son of Eugene Kirby, formerly Of
Narrows in this county, was one of
the depredators.

Liner With $500
ABOARD T0RPEDOED
U. S. Transport Hit-Yanks
All Safe And Ship Is
Beached.

Washington, Sept. News Of
the torpedoing of the British liner
Persio, with $500 American troops
in the war zone on September 6, was
given the American people today first
from the British admiralty and then
from the navy department. All the
soldiers were rescued by the accom-
paning destroyers. The vessel was
beached. The ship had been tagging
behind the convoy because of engine
trouble.
London, Sept. 1O.-A troop ship
with $500 American soldiers on
board has been torpedoed. All hands
were saved. The troop ship was
beached.
In order to save time, instead Of
launching the boats, the men clam
bered down ropes to destroyers which
swarmed around the stricken vessel
and came close alongside.
This operation was greatly facili-
tated by the fact that the sea was not
rough.
The troop ship was a member of a
large convoy approaching the English
coast. The vessel was torpedoed 200
miles from shore at 3 o'clock on Fri
day afternoon.
DestrOyers to Rescue.
The transfer of the American SOL
diers from the striker vessel to
escorting British and American tor
pedo boat destroyers was quickly
made without injury to anyone.
They all escaped injury when the
torpedo exploded, and they were soon
on their way to a British port.
There was no sign of panic on
board, and the admirable behavior Of
the men was especially gratifying to
the officers.
Many of the troops came from
Chicago and Cleveland, and large
percentage of them were factory
hands of foreign extraction. Their be-
havior proved that they had assimi-
lated the true spirit of the American
soldier.
To the surprise of most of the SOL
diers, the troop ship did not sink.
Some means apparently were found
to check the thrush of water, and she
got near enough to the shore to be
beached. 1t is hoped that the vessel
ultimately can be salvaged.

ORDER OF CALL
UNDER new DRAFT
1920 And 1886 Will Be
Called To The Colors
First.

Washington, Sept. 10-Provost
Marshal General Crowder announc-
ed to-day that the first call to the
colors of men who register Thursday
will include men in the 10 and 20
year-old classes and in the classes
from 32 to SO years, inclusive. CUES
tionnaires will go first to registrants
within these specified age limits, and
local boards. will be ordered to clas-
sify them first in readiness for calls
beginning in October.
Young men in the 10 and 2O-year-
old classes, Gen. Crowder said, will
be accepted for induction into the
Students Army Training Corps. but
he pointed out that the authorized
strength of this corps is only 1907
600 men, whereas the total number
of registrants below 20 will be over
100000.
The General refused to discuss fur
Their the educational plans, saying
they were not within his province.
He pointed out that the total num-
Der of fit men which he expected to
be secured from the classes over 80
was only 1000 and repeated the
statement that Class l of men now
registered would be almost complete
ly exhausted by october 1.
Gen. Crowder also issued to-day
a general appeal to employers to as
sist in the presentation of claims for
occupational exemptions and declar-
ed that this was the UNEMPLOYED field
of the new draft and that no esti-
mates could be made as to the num-
Der of men who ought to be excluded
from military service in the upper
age limits because of their occupa-
ton"
Emphasizing the Importance to be
attached to exemptions on the occu-
pational grounds, Gen. Crowder APP
pealed to employers and industrial
leaders generally to- make a special
study of their field In the light of
the draft requirements.
81 address to them the suggestion
that they charge themselves more
systematically with this responsible
ity." he said in pointing out that en-
ployers should present their claims
for men who might through mis-
taken chivalry'' fail to claim exemp-
ton for themselves. At the same
time, he said, his suggestion had an
other phase, in that careful examina-
ton of industry might show some
exemption claims to be unnecessary,
and in this connection, he added:
1.-The needs of the military forces
are known and imperative. Any
given quantity of deferments will ul-
timately have to be made up by the
depletion of some other occupation.

HARD DAYS WILL NEVER
RETURN, SAYS GEN. HAIG

London, Sept. love have
passed through many hard days.
Please God these will never return
says Field Marshal Haig, command
er in chief of the British forces in
France, in an order Of the day. The
commander then says:
1.-THE enemy has now spent his
effort"
The text of the field marshal's or
der of the day reads:
lone month has now passed since
the British armies, having success
fully withstood all the attacks of the
enemy, once more took the offensive
in their turn. In that short space
of time by a series of brilliant and
skillfully executed actions, we have
repeatedly defeated the same Ger
man armies whose vastly superior
numbers compelled our retreat last
spring. What has happened on the
British front has happened also on
tHt lTOnt VI our dlilcS.
LESS than six months after the
launching of the great German Of
fensive which was to have cut the
allied front in two, the allied armies
everywhere today are advancing vic
toriously side by side over the same
battlefield on which by the courage
and steadfastedness of their defense
they broke the enemy's assaults.
"Yet more has, been done. AL
ready we have pressed beyond our
old battle lines of 1917 and have
made a wide breach in the enemy's
strongest defenses."
I'm this glorious accomplishment
all ranks, arms and services of the
British armies in France have borne
their part in the most worthy and
honorable manner.
1.-THE capture of $4,000 prisoners
and $50 guns in the course of four
weeks fighting speaks for the magni-
tude of your efforts and the magni-
ficence of your achievement
my thanks are due to all ranks
of the fighting forces for their indom-
in attack, to all commend
ers and their staff officers under
whose able direction such great re-
suits have been attained, and also
to all those whose unsparing labors
behind the actual fighting line have
contributed essentially to the COM
mon cause. To have commanded this
splendid army which at time of
grave crisis has so nobly done its
duty fills me with pride.
1--WE have passed through many
dark days together. Please God
these will never return. The enemy
has now spent his effort and we rely
upon each one of you
to turn to full advantage the oppor-
tunity your skill, courage and reso-
luton have created"

MIN rake Un Oucstion.

London, Saturday. Dec. 21.-The
whole question of Russia is under
serious consideration h. the allies,
Reuters agency learns from an au-
thoritative British source, No plan,
however, has been formulated and
nothing can he settled definitely until
there has been an opportunity TO dis
cuss the matter with President Will
son.
1t is fully realized on all sides that
the Russian problem is one of the
most urgent and important that is to
be dealt with and it Is hoped that
during President Wilson's stay in Lon
don It NAV be found possible to dis
cuss it with a view to prompt action.
There have been numerous alarmist
reports recently relative to the size
of the Bolshevist army, but figures
quoted SO far are considered eXagger-
atoms. The actual fighting strength
is probably not much over 200, 900 or
100000. Discipline has been intro
duced but only by means that are far
more tvrannical than anything known
under the old regime.
Dcnikinc Doing We'll.
In the Kuban district General
Alexieff's volunteer army. which since
mand of General Denik!ne. IS main
tanning a valiant fight against the
Germans and Bolshevists. A pro-
visional government has been set up
there and numbers among its MEM
bers moderate politicians such as Ser
gius Sazonoff. former ambassador at
London; NJ. Astroff and NJ. Stepanoff,
social democratic leaders, and others
identified with that party support
has been given by the moderate social
revolutionaries.
The allies are in touch with this
government, which possesses a
thoroughly efficient army of at least
100, 900 men, and a British military
mission has been sent to INQUIRE into
the military position there.
In the Don district IS another anti
BoIsheVist government. Here Gen
eral Krasnoff's army is operating I'M
der the political control of Nj. Harla-
moff, a moderate social democrat.
This government is i'll close associa-
tiSn with the Kuban government and
both work with the provisional gov
eminent IN Crimea, with which they
are in close agreement In Ukraine
the situation is very complicated.
There is reason to hope the policy
followed by the allies will promote
unity between these various govern
ments in southern Russia, all of which
repudiate tyranny and BolsheVism
and whose one object is the restora-
ton of order in the country.
