geant ] Cassidy OF Company G.,

scruples which forbade their sign
ing. One man refused to sign sim
ply because it was his august wish
not to do so, and this he bluntly
stated. Another solemnly swore
that he could neither read nor
write, and therefore would not be
coerced into giving his signature.
There were other reasons given
which were equally unique, such as
forged signatures fear of an Eng
lish victory, ultimately; an unabash-
ed disinclination to champion lib
erty, apparent failure to comprehend
the purport of the documents con-
tents, etc.
England during the present war
has her hands full of her conscien-
tious objectors. The English mill
tary authorities decline to exempt a
Conscientious objector ordinarily.
Upon being sent to training camp
he will, of course, refuse to shoulder
a gun. Presently he finds himself
behind prison bars, and in due time
he is requested to busy himself with
assigned civil work. He consents
and is released from prison and
transported to a certain destination.
There he finds others of his kind.
They are known as Army Reserve
W." and, though the army discip-
line is in force among them, they
are employees at what is known as
the home office.
There have been cases that the
home Office has been unable to
handle and these have ultimately re-
turned to the army, which takes
them in charge. Their subsequent
treatment is not always OF the
gentlest. All objectors who come
under the ban of the English mill
tary authorities lose their franchise
for the period of five years following
the war.

piece OF very disagreeable scrubbing
to do, and the story runs, when his
stint was finished all his conscien-
tious objections had vanished, leav.
ing him free and glad to engage in
military service.
Loafng about any military camp
is strictly tabooed. If man stub
bornly declines to drill and doesn't
appear for duty in the alternative
service to which he may be assigned
he is given a pick and shovel and
sharply ordered to keep busy
Further objections are met in way
that does not permit OF argument
when the doors of the guardhousc
open to him. There he may be LETT
for few days to month and he
has ample time to debate the matter
in his own mind.
The war department decries pre-
secution in any form. Indeed, such
procedure would defeat its own
ends. 1t is certainly most impor-
tant, thinks the war department,
not to encourage any man who at
heart is a Stacker, not only because
such a person is an object OF scorn
in himself, but lest those with an
insufficient development OF moral
responsibility impose on leniency.
Especially does Uncle Sam feel that
it behooveS him to treat this awk-
ward problem with consideration, in
that this country has gone to war
TO make the world safe for dem
ocracy.'
The average conscientious OBJ
iector, while opposed to taking life
in any way, is still loyal to his coun-
try, and, realizing the myriad dill
ficulties and new problems eter-
nally confronting the government in
its tremendous task, is more than
willing to render all the assistance
he can. These men are of faiths
such as taught by Dunkards, Men
nonites, Stundists, Quakers, etc.
There are not few, processing
these various doctrines, who telt 50
strongly, so deeply, the nobility OF
the cause for which the United
States has gone to war that they
did not wait for the draft, but en-
listed instantly in spite OF their
faith.
For example, the Quakers have
seen their young men go into regu-
lar military service, and they have
appreciated the fact that these have
only followed what seemed to them
the bigger, the higher duty. These
Quaker soldiers have not been dis
owned nor censured by their
rather, the church solaces
and cheers them in every conceiv-
able way. An opportunity came for
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-05-08

those who could not conscientious
" bear arms when the call from dis
tressed and harrassed Europeans
reached the United States. The
Quakers responded by sending forth
more than hundred of their finest
young men and women, some OF
whom went to France, others to
Belgium and Serbia.
This small but untiring body OF
Friends forms just the link between
the American Red Cross and the
English Quakers which was needed.
They are quietly doing a splendid
and heroic work in four branches
of service, hospital, reconstruction,
relief and agriculture. Their achieve
ments have been acclaimed with
such enthusiasm among those with
whom they have been thrown that
the attention OF authorities IN
France and elsewhere has been won.
Quakers who have stayed at home
have raised large sums OF money to
help in relieving stricken Europe.
They have also sent clothing and
household articles in great quanti-
ties. Quakers on the other side OF
the Atlantic see that these gifts are
wisely distributed, not small task
in itself Not a cent of salary do
the benevolent workers receive Tor
their arduous labor, and the TACT
that they remain and grow absorb
ed in it and cannot be persuaded
to leave it after long months OF
fatiguing eduty, is adequate proof
of their devotion and sincerity.
Conscientious objectors OF other
faiths have taken up their burdens
in the same way. Among them are
relief workers who have gone into
Russia. They have found condl-
tions there even more overwhelming
than they are in France, Belgium or
Serbia. This is due primarily to the
intense political unrest in that coun-
try and the immense distances. Be
cause of these conditions dangers
in Russia are multiplied, perils are
everywhere. Nevertheless, those
who are called upon to go respond
Immediately and unfalteringly.
Probably every age and country
has had its conscientious objectors.
The war department, in overhaul
ing some old documents, inadvert-
emily discovered that during the pc
Rod Of the revolution there was this
problem with which to contend.
When trouble was first brewing
and the colonists drew up papers
their desire to be inde-
pendent, there were men who balk-
ed at affixing their signatures to
these declaratory sheets. Several
maintained that they held religious

SUGAR CANE STATES FAVORED.
Lack of Cargo Space and Storage Fa-
cilities Allows More Sugar.


Increase in the beet sugar prOduc-
ing states and in the can producing
territories of Louisiana of the house
hold sugar allotments from three
pounds to four pounds monthly per
capita was ordered today by the Food
Administration, effective December l.
At the same time public eating places
in these sections will be permitted to
increase their consumption from three
pounds to four pounds for every
ninety meals served.
For the remainder of the country,
it was stated, the allotments of three
pounds monthly per capita for house
holds and three pounds per ninety
meals for public eating places will bC
continued for the present, atleast.
The increase for sugar producing
states was granted, the Food Admin
istration announced, because of tn
lack of cargo space for overseas ship
ment, together with insufficient stor
| age facilities in this country.
