HE HAD MARITAL DIFFICULTIES

Monmouth papers of yesterday car
ried a story to the effect that Sheriff
A. D. Trey has been called upon by
the Warren county exemption board to
place a man under arrest who, it is
alleged, made false statements in his
QUESTIONABLE, which was sworn to in
Rock Island and sent to the board
there.
This man is believed to be Charles
Manthey, who gave his address as 1902
First avenue at the time he filled out
his QUESTIONABLE here last fall. Man
they claimed deferred classifications
Of 3 B and 8 C, stating that his par
ents and one sister were dependent
He failed, however, to get his parents
to sign the QUESTIONABLE. According
to information contained in the paper
Manthey and his wife separated in
July, 1917. He was placed in class
l B by the local board, designated as
man who habitually fails to support
his wife. The last the local board
heard Manthey was living at $40 East

SMEDIEY HEARS THE VERY FOUNDATIONS
OF PRUSSIAN AUTOCRACY SHAKING WHEN
CAMP HANCOCK SOLDIERS MARCH PAST

their feet was shaking the very foun-
dations of Prussian autocracy. When
l heard the bugles ring out their stir
ring blasts. instindively thought q
the walls Of Jericho. and wondered
how soon they would fall. And Won
dered, too. how many OF those fine
PENNSYLVANIA boys would come back
after the war is over and settle down
once more to the quiek occupations OF
peace. 1t gives one queer feeling to
reflect that one day before long. these
very boys will be shooting at the
kaiser's men, and being shot at by
them in turn, and that some of them
will in all probability never come
home again.
Many of us had 1t In our minds that
this parade was In sense a fare
we'll Of this division to Augusta, for,
unless all signs fail, considerable
part of these troops will be going over
this spring.
To recount the names Of the regi-
ments in the parade, and to give
ftheir numbers would not mean much
to you. To try to describe the scene
with any justice would require pow
ers beyond me, so I will have to lei
| it go at that. would not have missed
the demonstration for great deal.
After the parade had been duly re-
viewed by the commanding general
and his staff, it wound up ut the camI
and the men were given an extra hall
! holiday in honor of the occasion. II
was a regular April day, or would
have been SO at home, with occasional
| light showers, interspersed with sun
shine, but the rain was not sufficient
| to damage the uniforms Of the men
or the apparel of the folks who watch
ed them.
The officers are now getting thu
final touches in their preliminar!
training in the searching physica
tests which are ordered. Each office
must select five athletic events from
ia list of about ten, and must Qualif!
in them by making certain records
For instance, he must run 100 yards il
IA seconds, put the 12-pound shot 81
feet, jump z feet, toss grenade 8!
yards, and do a few other simple
stunts. II he is not able to qualify
the prospect is that he will be per
mitted to resign or will be honorabl,
retired. The result of this order ha
been manifest in a tremendous de
mand on us for athletic supplies ant
coaching by these officers. many O
whomsare renewing their scollege an,
high school recollections by these ex
ercises.
1t is made known today that the en-
tire Fifty-sixth brigade, part Of whicl
we serve in our building, is to go OF
three-day hike" this week. Thi
will no doubt mean that We must sem
out a truck, with a tent and two O
three secretaries to serve the men Of
, their overnight stops. The trainin
is becoming more and more intensiv
as the time Of departure draws neal
and there is not much rest for the sol
idiers.

Camp Hancock, Ca, Feb. 23.-Wash-
ington's birthday was fittingly cele-
brated yesterday by great parade OF
the Twenty-eighth division. which
showed to the people Of Augusta for
the first time what large and splen-
did company of man they have living
at the edge of their city.
Approximately twenty-five thousand
men, being all the members of this di-
vision except those on guard and spe-
cial duty, marched Id the parade. They
started on the march at about S:15 IN
the morning. marehing the four miles
to the business center and then back
again. The first sections Of the pa
rade reached the city about 10 o'clock
and back in camp by noon. The last
end of the column got back to camp
just about l O'Clock, but it would have
taken much longer had they not done
a good bit Of return. march on double
time so as to get back by mess.
My. supply of adjectives is quite in
adequate when it comes to telling
about the parade. 1t was the greatest
military parade which / have ever
seen, and it rather overwhelmed me
when / stopped to realize what it in
volved. II you can imagine crowd
two and one-half times as large as
the population Of Monmouth formed
in orderly line of march, with bands
of music distributed at frequent in
tervals, led by notable dignitaries
mounted ON spirited horses, carrying
nfH inn MI nfc Of -
and proceeding along a line Of march
eight miles long,. you will have some
conception of the size Of it. There
were IL or Is military bands in line
some on foot and some mounted, aver
aging about thirty men to the band
and with drum and trumpet corp:
attached to nearly every band. There
were thus nearly a thousand must
clans to inspire the marchers.
There were about twelve thousand
infantrymen, besides the artillery, tn,
engineers, the machine gun battal
ions, and the other parts of the dl
vision. Going along the narrowe
streets they marched in columns o
tours, but when they got to Broat
street. the principal street of the city
they were reformed into columns O
platoons, so that the wide street wa
filled from curb to curb with march
ing men.
As some one remarked, who was evi
IDENTIFY lacking in imagination, it wa
just lot of men going along tn
street, but to many of us it was NOR
than that. just as Niagara Falls i
only lot of water going over a cliff

make an effort to recover his health
SO that he may resume his charge
THIS was the information received
from him at Camp Logan today by MS
brother, City Attorney ]. X. Scott. The
city attorney has information that his
brother will remain In Houston for at
least a month and will endeavor to re-
cuperate sufficiently to take command
of his battery. Captain SCOTS prlh-
cipal trouble is with his eyes which
have been bothering him severely for
several months. There was heavy
strain upon them daily. It is thought
that a month will rest them sufficient
ly to make it possible for him to re-
sumo his duties.
Means Red Tape.
This, however, will necessitate a
deal of red tape inasmuch as Captain
Scott rendered his resignation to the
war department, which was recently
accepted. However, it is not mprob-
able II he is restored to good health
he will be permitted to take his COM
