FREE LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOR
SOLDIERS

Judge T. M. Olsen, chairman of the
Legal Advisory Committee, has sent a
letter to the attorneys Of the county in
which he calls attention to the request
sent out by the Treasury Department
of the United States in cooperation with
the American Bar Association asking
all attorneys for assistance in the
presentation and handling of claims
under the war insurance and indemnity
law.
The act of October 6, 1917 provides
for payments to the family and de-
pendents Of persons in the military
service Of certain specified sums out
Of the pay Of the enlisted men and adj
ditional sums payable by the United
States for the support Of such family
and dependents. It also provides for
insurance Of the lives Of enlisted men
and payments as compensation for
death and disability and burial expenses.
The Act Of March 5, 1918, has also
been passed providing for starting actions
and proceedings at law as against men in
the military service and to protect them
against cancellations Of contract and
eviction for nonpayment Of rent and
other forfeitures during military service.
AL attorneys are requested to give as
sistance to enlisted men and to their
families and dependents under these
two Acts without charge.

FIELD ARTILLERY
MAY BE DISBANDBD
ST. JAMES, WASECA, MARSHALL
AND ALBERTILEA COMPANIES
MAY LOSE STANDING
NEW ULM CANNON STILL HOME .
DID ST. JAMES GET COLD
EXTREMITIES?

According to latest advioes tie Second
Minnesota Field Artillery will probably
he ordered disbanded by Governor
Burnquist and Adjutant General Rhinow
this week. In response to message
sent by Governor Burnquist to the War
Department last Friday asking that the
regiment either be called into Federal
service or be disbanded, the War Depart
ment wired him that he might disband
the regiment at his will. The Governor
is undecided what action he will take
and before reaching any decision he will
confer with Adjutant General Rhinow
and Col. w. F. Murphy who is the head
of the regiment. 1t is quite. generally
believed, however, that whatever the
outcome of tie conference may be, that
tie regiment will be disbanded.
Reasons For DISARMAMENT
There are several reasons which make
disarmament the only proper solution
of more or less delicate question.
Quite a number of the men who enlisted
in these various artillery companies
are very anxious to see service and are
for that reason loath to remain with
an organization that may never be called
into service or even if it is called may
never be sent abroad. Besides that,
quite number of the members of the
different batteries have been called under
the last draft and the strength OF the
batteries has therefore been reduced and
it will become necessary to do consid-
cradle recruiting to bring them up to
war strength.
Another thing initiating against the
Second Field Artillery is the fact that
in very many instances politics entered
into the selection of officers and the men
do not feel as friendly to them as if they
had had some choice in securing their
election.
Order Affects St. James Battery
Some of tie batteries in the vicinity
of New Tim that will be affected by the
order of disarmament, if it does come,
are tie batteries at St. James, Waseca,
Marshall and Albert Lea. In this
connection it will be recalled that a
delegation of St. James citizens called
here for the purpose of securing the loan
of one of New Ulrn's cannon and equip
ment. The request was at first turned
down and later on, upon reconsideration
the Council voted to allow the st. James
battery the use Of the cannon and equip
ment.
Never Used Equipment
Most of the citizens, no doubt, have
felt right along that the St. James COM
pany was drilling every week with the
New Ulm equipment and perfectlng
themselves for active service and it
now develops that the cannon and equip
ment never left the city. Shortly after
the city had voted the loan OF the qulp-
ment to St. James, it became very cold
and that may be the reason why the St.
James people did not come after 1t. At
any rate the equipment is still here and
has never left the city.

MRS. LOWELL DIES SUDDENLY

Mrs. Mary S. Lowell, 81 years old,
died suddenly early Sunday morning
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C.
M. Crosby. Funeral services were held
from the residence at $3.50 o'clock on
Monday afternoon, the Rev. R. R.
Claiborne officiating. The remains
were carried to Covington, KY, where
they were placed in the family vault.
The pall-bearers here were Messrs.
Mack Hodges, j. R. Brumby, Jr., B.
G.. Brumby, George H. Keller, Jim
Collins and Welborn Reynolds.
The deceased is survived by her
daughter, Mrs. Crosby, grand
daughter, Miss Virginia Crosby, of
Marietta, and several other grand
children.
In spite of her advanced age, Mrs.
Lowell had been in full possession of
her faculties, and was remarkably
alert and interested in current events
1t was only during the past few
months that her health had really
begun to perceptibly fail, but her
sudden death on Sunday was sad
shock to her family and friends.
Mrs. Lowell was born in Charles
town, West Virginia, but most of her
married life was spent in Coving-
ton, Kentucky. Since her husbands
death, Mrs. Lowell has made her home
with her daughter, Mrs. C. M. Cros-
by. She was lifelong member of the
Episcopal church.
Mrs. Lowell was a woman of dis
tinguished lineage, as her aristocrat-
ic and charming bearing and manner
showed.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
OF WIRES is STRONGLY
URGED BY MR.. BURLESON

Washington, Dec. 17.-Ownership
by the government of the telegraph
and telephone systems of the nation
was characterized as imperative, !"
by Postmaster General Burleson in a
letter to Representative Moon, chair
man of the house committee on post
offices and post roads. Mr.. Burleson
said the systems can be acquired
without the appropriation of a dol
lar from the public treasury" by ap-
plying to an amortization fund for
rs years the savings made under gov
eminent ownership through elimina-
ton of duplication in plants and OPP
Grating expenses.
In support of the government own
ership resolution introduced in the
house last week by Representative
Moon, the postmaster general quoted
from the recent letter of Theodore n.
Vail, president of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, and
from the annual reports of number
of the postmaster generals since the
civil war, all of whom agreed, he
said, that government control or own
ership would greatly contribute to the
efficiency of service.

NEGRO AGENTS ASSIST
FOOD PRODUCTION

One hundren and forty-two negro
men agents and 1914 negro women
agents of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural Colleges, were at work
in the Southern States during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1918.
These agents were very successful in
stimulating the growing of food
crops, giving special attention to
home gardens and the canning and
drying of fruits and vegetables for
home use. They also materially as
sisted in helping in the labor problem
by urging negroes on farms to work
six days in the week.

GEORGIA SLOW TO
EMPLOY SOLDIERS

Fifty per cent of body of 1000
soldiers at Camp Gordon, personally
interviewed by Lieutenant Dew, sig
nified their desire to remain in Geor-
gia, and permanently locate after
they are discharged from military
service. These are all men from other
states. 1--WE are doing the best we
cam" said Commissioner Hal NJ. STAN
ley, Wednesday, toward locating
them, but it is mighty small help we
are getting from the local communi-
ties in the state. Fairly averaged, 80
per cent of these young men are thrift
ty, energetic and ambitious fellows,
and will make our state mighty good
citizens. They are the kind of people
we want, and if they have to go some
where else to build their future lives
we can blame nobody but ourselves.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Stanley sent
out special call to chambers of COM
merce, clubs and other local organ
izations in the cities and towns, ask
ing that they Immediately prepare
local bureaus to handle placement of
discharged soldiers as fast as they are
discharged from the army. Thous-
ands of Georgia boys who have done
service are to be released, without
Jobs, and as Mr.. Stanley pointed out
at the time, the absorption of these
men in commercial, industrial and
agricultural pursuits is almost as big
a piece of war work as was raising
the army. To the individual it is
even more important.
To date there have been practically
no offers of aid from any of the To-
cal communities in the state, and the
formation of the requested bureaus,
through which the office, jointly
maintained by the state and federal
government, can work is virtually nil.
at is the first indication of any
kind" said Mr.. Stanley, chat there
is anything like a disposition in Geor-
gia to be 'slackers,' but the state GER
tainly is falling down woefullyon this,
am anxious to see it quickly over
come, and l do hope the papers and
the organizations all over the state
will get in behind our work and help
this office out without further loss
of time. 1t hurts state pride to see
this kind of don't care spirit crop
ping up after such wonderfully pa
triotic work has gone on nearly two
years. For heavens sake don't let's
forget these boys now, after what
they have been through. 1t isn't
right. Atlanta Journal.
