NOT THE ORIGINAL 0BJECTOR
Humanity Has Not Changed Much
Since the Revolutionary War,
When Many Objected TO
Fighting.

Last week when the questionnaires
were being filled, smile went around
when 1t was reported that one young
man had appeared who claimed that
his exemption was based upon the
grounds that he did not want to en-
list to fight for his country upon the
grounds that "the Germans had not
done anything against him and he
held nothing against him and he held
nothing against them"-hence he, per-
sonally, had nothing at issue.
But, this young man is not the roig-
inal objector. Last week down in
HarfOrds county, Maryland, there was
unearthed a record which carried the
objections made by seventeen citizens
of that county, when the Revolu-
tionary war was being waged. Read
what their grounds we're and COM
pare them wit hthe young man who
made the exemption claim last week
and see if you can figure out how
much humanity has changed. The
documents found in Maryland reads !:
Benjamin Herbert, Jr., refuses to
sign through religious principles.
Richard II. Hargrove refuses to
sign through religious principles.
"william Wilson, son of John, re-
fuses to sign through religious prin-
ciples.
Benjamin Harboard refused to
sign by reason he signed before.
Thomas Gilbert don't sign by rea-
son he don't chose.
"Thomas West don't sign by reason
it is a mystery to him.
Phillip Cummins don't sign by rea-
son he don't understand the matter.
John Ward don't sign by reason
tfiegress don't sign and by reason he
thinks that il the English gain the
day when the congress and the great
people will turn the scale and say the
commonallty of people forced them to
stand in opposition to the English.
John Clark don't sign by no rea-
son he give.
"Ephriam Arnold don't sign for fear
it would fetch him into a scrape.
Isaac Penrose don't sign for rea-
son he don't chose to fight for liberty
and never will.
Benjamin Fleetwood refused to

sci, viii not fight by land.

AMERICAN MARINES SMASH
THROUGH GERMAN LINES
French Elated and Germans Surprised
at the Dash and Spirit shown by
Americans.

Friday and Saturday were the big
gest days OF the war, 30 far as the
American forces are concerned. Am
erican marines, operating with the
French against the wedge on the
Marine. broke through the German
lines for a distance OF two miles on
q front OF about four miles. capturing
strong positions and inflicting heavy
losses. The battle centered about
Chateau Thierry.
The marines la their forward sweep
took strong ground which linked up
the line will Hill I42. This gave them
a strong and dominating position for
a continuation of their attack. Their
fetal advance vas approximately two
miles on a three-mile front. The to-
tai number OF prisoners netted about
100.
A notable development was the low
morale OF the prisoners. all OF whom
are Prussians. They expressed them
selves as tired OF the war and glad 10
get out OF the lighting. This was de-
spite the fact, they say. that they are
furnished with food. although the
Saxons. the Wuertemberg troops and
others may 80 without.
IL must o be imagined. however,
that they did not put up a fight. for
their officers were among them urg-
ny them on. but the marines dashed
into them. yelling like Indians, and
plying bayouet and rifle.
One marine who was taking back
a prisoner ran into two German Of
hcers and 10 men. He tackled them
single handed with his rifle and bay
onet. killed both the officers and
wounded seven of the men.
Another sergeant was about TO take
a prisoner when the German threw
himself on the ground and discharged
his revolver at the American. after
calling him "comrade." That settled
the German. for the sergeant shot
him as he did tout others who also
had surrendered hut refused TO put ur
their hands.

Sergeant Gibbons Tells OF German

With the purpose OF making the

Gibbons. OF the Third Ontario Batta-
lion. a member Of the First Canadian
ExpeditiOnary force TO reach France.

periences over there"
Sergeant Gibbons enlisted August
-. 1914. the day after England de-
clared wal on Germany. and was as
signed to the Third Ontario Battalion
OF the first Canadian division of 3d.
600 troops to go overseas. After train
ing for only four months on the ia
nous Salisbury Plains in England.
this division was rushed TO France
where troops were Immediately plac-
ed in the front line trenches. as Eng
land vas short Of men at hat time
and had 70 ill the gaps with almost
raw recruits.
At the battle of st. Julian. or the
second battle OF Ypres as It is Of
hcially called. Sergeant Gibbons was
among the 10000 allied troops who
withstOOd the shocks of seven at
tacks in one day from a German force
OF $4,000. Later. he was severely
wounded. captured and taken to a
German pris N camp where he was
subjected to the brutal hospital care
which the Germans accord allied pris-
oners. He was placed on the ex-
change list only by feigning insanity

thorities there considered him unfit
