Disloyalty in the eos

From the Kansas City Star
~ X-SPEAKER Joseph G. Cannon in interview in
II the Saturday Evening Post tells amazing facts
- bout disloyay in certain Northern states, partic-
ularly Illinois, in the Civil War Mr. Cannon says
in Illinois alone there reputed $4,000 members
of disloyal spite of that
fact the state sent 100000 men, Is per its popu
ation, into the Union army. If Illinois con-
tribute in the same proportion in this she would
send 100000 to the co,ors. excerpt from the
interview follows:
The rituals and oaths of these orders knights
read like extravagant satires American democracy.
That so many men should join these orders, form
castles in the woods and the lonely prairies,
oahs which normal man could read and understand
without laughing at their farccal absurdities and go
through ormalities ridiculous performances
Don Quxoe, seems beyond the realm of ordinary in
eigence and common sense but when to this travesty
medieval knight erranry is added the purpose
of the who organized, directed such
an army of deuded they presented the defiant
demonstration of treason the country has known.
These modern knights to encourage and
aid Union soldiers to DESERT to discourage ensment
TO circulate reasonable literature; intelligence
TO the enemy; to aid the enemy by recruiting his
army within the Union lines; to destroy government pro-
perty and the property of loyal citizens assassinate
soldiers and citizens to release the Confederate prison

operate with Confederate in Canada
the existing governments in Ohio Indiana Illinois,
and to organize Northwest Conederacy should
unite with the Southern Conederacy destroy the ma
onal government. Such organizations today would be
ntoerable and impossible, but they existed
of the Civil War; and they seriously considered as
aid to their by the Confederate leaders, for
jefferson Davis sent Jacob Thompson his agent to
Canada to counsel and cooperate with the leaders of
these disloyal organizations within the United States.

Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cOcoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspOonftls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrOus, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.-Adv.

Mrs. Carico, a middle-aged and talk
atfve rurallst, was appearing in a suit
brought by her husband she insisted
on loudly commenting on each answer
given by the first witness. Repeated
ly the judge requested her to keep
quiet, but she persisted in audibly dis
putting the words of the witness Fin
ally the judge said
Mrs, Carico, the court demands that
you keep quiet. Unless you do so you
will be held in contempt"
Giving the Judge a savage look, the
woman turned to her attorney and
vociferously inquired:
Who is that old guy who keeps

Everyone knew that Lieutenant
Thorliegh and his pretty young wife
had failed to agree during their few
years of married life, but no one quite
liked to ask him where she was living
during his last months of training
in this country. So when an innocent
new conner inquired point-blank where
she was, there was a rather intense
moment before he said, calmly:
my wife is in France"
What is she doing?" was demanded
further.
"Fighting," he answered, calmly.
"Fighting!" everyone exclaimed.
well" he replied, perhaps she
isn't actually fighting, but I'm sure
she's Quarreling."

POTATO BLIGHT
MAY CUT CROP
IN the COUNTY
State Representative Urges
Immediate Steps to Elimin-
ate the Danger.

Potato blight will seriously reduce
the potato crop in Wayne county and
the state unless measures are taken
Immediately to eliminate it according
to J. ]. Milhaus, representing the state
entomologist. Mr.. Milhaus was in
Richmond Tuesday following an in
spection of potatoes in several parts
of Wayne county.
The 40-acre potato patch at the
Eastern Hospital for the Insane is
one Of the best patches in Indiana, &C
cording to Mr.. Hilhaus. 1t is almost
entirely free from blight.
Steps should be taken at once to
eliminate the blight Mr.. Milhaus said,
if half of the crop is to be saved. The
potatoes, unaffected by the blight, are
only partially affected should be
sprayed with bordeaux mixture to pre-
vent the further spread.
1t is useless to spray the plants
covered with the blight as 1t is too
late to save them, according to Mr..
Milhaus

Digging Out Draft Slackers

Slackers, slickers and Hun sympathizers are
having their troubles in Brooklyn, Indianapolis
and Chicago these days. The Brooklyn Vigilance
Corps of the American Defense society is not
taking for granted that young men seeking ex-
emption deferred classification are telling the
full truth in their affidavits, so the society aids
the selective service board by investigating the
claims these draft evaders make.
One young man claimed exemption on the
ground that he supported his parents, but men,
Der of the society learned that the father recent
ly gave the young man automobile that cost
$500. Well, how long did it take to put him in
Class / where he belongs? The draft board acted
without delay.
Another young man stretched the truth
slightly in his affidavits regarding dependents

5 DRAFTEES APPLY
FOR AIRCRAFT WORK

Five men have made application
with the Richmond selectiye service
board, for voluntary induction under
recent call for men to be sent to
Vancouver Barracks, Washington, to
assist in airplane production in the
northwest woods. The men were
Frank Townsend, Charles Starr, Ar
thur Miller, Cecil Maley and Frank
Schmedinghoff.
The call was issued for crosscut saw
filers, band flers and circular saw
filers.
Men qualified and experienced in
this work may apply with the Rich
mond board until Tuesday, July %,
after which time no further applica-
tons will be received Only men in
deferred classification and qualified
for limited service, will be indicted
under this call.
AS the states entire quota is only
II men it is certain that Wayne coun-
ty will have more volunteers than the
quota allotted to it, with the five men
who have already applied for service.

showed that the dependents were amply able to
take care of themselves, and so he was put into
Class l and sent to a cantonment with a current
quota.
Here is one of the slogans of the society:
TOO many draft dodgers escaping service,
and by so doing are sending Brooklyn's best sons
to bear the brunt and possibly die that the slack
ers may live in ease"
That slogan tells mighty big truth which
every Stacker might apply to himself with profit
Every time he tells falsehood conceals the
truth in petition for exemption or deferred
classification, he is sending a man to death IN
his place. Little sympathy should be accorded
man who stoops to this low form of evasion. He
deserves the contempt of his associates and
should be indicted into military service without
delay.
Most of the draft boards, the one in Rich
mond included, do not have time to investigate
carefully the claims set out in the affidavits Of
men petitioning for deferred classification Or ex-
emption. A vigilance committee can do good ser
vice for the community by assisting the board in
ferreting out the young men who parade the
streets in security while the men who had to
take their places in the army are bearing the
brunt' A sudden interest in the affidavits filed
with any draft board in the United States might
make some of the slackers quake and decide at
once that the grounds upon which they obtained
their exemptions and deferred classifications no
longer exist
There's just one way of smoking out some
of these young men and that's by the vigorous
cooperation of citizens with the draft boards.
The indianapolis News in yesterdays ISSUE
trenchantly remarked:
ut will probably not be possible to depend
wholly on the men in every case to keep the gov
eminent acquainted with changes in their status
which would involve earlier induction into the
army. Raids like that of Saturday night will &C
complish good in helping to quicken the con-
science of regstrants in that respect as we'll as in
uncovering cases of Stacking. Every man mis-
classified means that another who can less easily
be spared will go ahead of his turn.
Like roundups will be conducted from time
to time, as they should be- There are still many
deliberate slackers at liberty. The only way any
considerable proportion of them can be caught is
through general action taken recently in Chi
cagO, Indianapolis and other cities. The raids,
too can be made of considerable assistance to the
local draft boards in enforcing the work-or-fight
keep an eye continually on each Of the men under
their jurisdiction. After Saturdays experience
it should no longer be necessary to warn many of
the local registrants to carry their registration
and classification cards with them. They can
save trouble and annoyance-for both the police
and the registrant.

The Most Highs Fifth Drive for Victory

The Most High yesterday launched his fifth
drive to take Paris and the channel ports and in
cidentally to fertze French soil with the bodies
of his dead soldiers.
Four times this year, the Most High and his
war lords have wooed the goddess of Victory with
poison gas, high explosive shells and shrapnel,
only to be rejected and sent home with bloody
heads Re-vivfied and animated, the apostles
of ruthlessness are again pressing the suit.
On sixty mile 'front.' large calibre guns are
trying to blast hole through the allied line.
American troops at Chateau Therry received the
first blow of the gigantic thrust on which his
Most High has staked his throne and the for
tunes of his country.
Early press reports show that the Americans
have lived up to the traditions of their country
and taken heavy toll of Hun lives. Elsewhere
on that far flung battle line from the North Sea
to the Alps the defenders of civilization are i'm
bued with the spirit of the French at Verdun,
They shall not pass"
"They shall not pass" was the battle cry that
rallied the Allies four times this year. When the
Most High launched his first and strongest at
tack toward Amiens, he paid for his 35 nils gain
with so many casualties that he could not get
very far when he made his second attack at
Ypres. The third attack in the Champagne
made with fresh troops released from the Rus
sian front, netted 32 miles and heavy death
list The fourth was insignificant in COMPARE
son with first and third. The fifth is under
way.
The resumption of the German offensive
comes as a relief. Every expected the Most
High to offer more cannon fodder to the guns of
the Allies. In the first place, he gained numerous
positions in his last four drives from which he
could renew his attacks after his divisions had
recuperated from their early effort. And again,
internal conditions in Germany and in the army
demand that he show results for the thousands
that lie buried in French soil. The morale of no
people can long stand the drains of men that have
been sent into oblivion by the Allies. The in
creasing strength of the American army is an
other factor that the Most High could not deny
Every day of delay in sending forward his troops
meant increasing power of resistance from the
Allies and ultimately the presence of an irresist-
able American army. Hence, he was forced to
renew the issue.
Every military critic expects the enemy to
make gains in the new offensive. They have con-
ceded that from the very start. But the price he
must pay, coupled with the all important fact
that he will not be able to grasp objective that
will interfere with the allied plan of campaign,
make his gains negligible in the final reckoning.
The surprise element which accounted for his
gains early this year is lacking. Gen. Foch has
had time to place reserves at strategic advantage
and also has had leisure to devise method of
meeting the form of infantry attack which
the Most High used with success in the other
thrusts.
So far the fifth desire of the Potsdam gang
to butcher Huns finds the Allies undismayed.
