Farm Expert to Serve

Charles E. Fleming of the state
experiment station has been denied
exemption from military service by
the president, according to advices
received from the provost marshal
general by Adjutant General Sulli-
van. The district board refused to
release Fleming from military duty
despite a strong showing on the
part of members of the university
faculty to the effect hat it would
be difficult to secure a man to dc
the particular line of work that
was Fleming's speciality.

k. C. PREPARING
BIG CARNIVAL
VICTOR AJAX WILL BE SEEN IN
WRESTLING EX-
HIBITION

Victor Ajax and Charlie Pine have
signed for a Commute wrestling
exhibition at the mid-winter carni-
val of the knights of Columbus to
he held next Tuesday night In the
Hippodrome.
Pine is a 1S5-pound man who
came here recently from Arizona,
after a number of successful a
ches there. and is said to be a good
enough man to give the crowd a
line on the present condition OF
Ajax. which will be an interesting
feature of the match to many peo-
ple. as it is rumored that Victor
is about to again go on the mat.
He is now understood to be ar
ranging to sign for a match in To-
nopah in the Ell future.
Victor is the, biggest drawing
card. in the opinion of those who
follow sports, that the knights
could obtain, as it is always worth
going a long way to see the veteran
in an exhibition of his uncanny
knowledge of the game OF which
he is a past master. He is now
known to be in training and after
putting the Masked Marvel in con-
dition for his recent match in To-
nopah it is thought that Pine may
learn many things from him in 20
minutes.
Victor's clever exhibition against
the fast Tony Ball in the Hippo
drome in the rumme of 1915 has
not yet been forgotten by those who
witnessed it and it is believed that
the prospect of seeing him in action
again would alone draw a big
crowd.
Sergeant Bryson of the British
army, who returned here last even
ing, has agreed to go on for four
rounds Of sparring and Young
Peterson, who may be remembered
as having fought Kid Bronco on
one occasion, will also appear for
four rounds. A number of other
clever local boys who have been
seen in the ring on previous occa-
sions will meet boxers from Tono-
pah who have not yet been signed.
Johnny Morrison will also re-
appear and an effort is now being
made to secure as his opponent a
boy who has been fighting in Ely
and is now in TonOpah. 1t is
known that If this particular boxer
can be secured a fast exhibition will
result.
The Eagles band has been secur-
, ed for the night, as has Damon's
orchestra, and other features of the
carnival aside from the athletic
events will soon be ready to an
nounce.
All the boxing exhibitions and
the wrestling match will be refer
eed by Billy Shue.

Americans in France Are Living
Up to Reputation as the Greatest
Fighters in World; Soldier Says

German atrocities against the people
of Belgium and France were graph
cally described to representative of
The Palladium by Captain John E.
Scott, OF the United States Signal
corps, Friday, who spent almost year
with the American Eexpeditionary
Forces In France. Captain Scott is
visiting in Richmond at the home Of
his mother, Mrs. Nora Green, 229
South Ninth street He was ordered
back to America from the trenches to
act as an instructor in the signal corps
training camp at Beauregard, La.
Captain Scott enlisted with the
United States Signal corps of the reg
ular army in April Of 1914, and in
November, 1917, was commissioned
first lieutenant while in service in
France. He sailed for France with
some of the first troops sent across
the water, In June, 1917. After being
in active service in France for about
a year he was ordered back to Amer
lea to act as signal corps instructor,
and on July 10, 1918, was commission
ed captain at Camp Beauregard.
After seeing actual evidences Of
German atrocities in France, commit
ted against the innocent women and
children of both France and Belgium"
Captain Scott said, Il am almost will
Ing to believe any kind Of a story of
cruelty on the part of these Hun bar
barians that / may hear.
Children MutiIated.
"On one occasion l saw between 20
and 80 little Belgian children in a
hospital behind the front line trenches
with their right hands severed from
Their bodies. Only the ragged stumps
remained to show where once the
hand had been.
All OF the women l have seen in
France, no matter what their nation
atty may bef carry upon their persons
a small vial of poison. l have had
some of these women tell me that if
they should ever be captured by the
Germans, or in such danger that they
knew they could not escape the Huns,
they would drink this deadly poison.
The atrocities on the part of the Huns
are certainly terrible when women pre-
fer death to capture"
Since coming to this country Cap
tain Scott has delivered lectures for
the Red Cross society and at Camp
Beauregard he delivers two or three
ICStubCo WCChly W lI6 men
for signal corps work. He spent four
months in the front line trenches in
France, and though he has never beer
wounded he said that he has had seN
eral. narrow escapes. He helped to
build and establish the first telephone
and telegraph lines erected to connect
the American front line with the head
quarters to the rear. He also trained
for FIVE months in signal corps wor
behind the front line trenches.

French Morale Splendid.
Captain Scott was in Paris while
the long range German guns were
Smelling the city, and saw a church
that was struck by one of the shells
and practically demolished. Sixty
persons worshipping in the auditorium
Of the church at the time, were killed
by the bursting shell.
Captain Scott praised the French
people for their treatment of the
American soldiers. and for the splen-
did morale and spirit the nation is
showing in this critical period He
said that the newspapers of America
had more to say about Smelling Paris

French capital
On clear nights Captain Scott said
the people of Paris take their even
ing meals on the lawns outside their
homes, and wait and watch for Ger
man raiders. The moment they are
sighted the people seek shelter in dug
outs and cellars, and when the raid
has passed they go to bed in a most
unconcerned manner. Their spirit is
a wonderful thing to see, he said, and
an inspiration to any man.
He praised the Salvation Army and
the Red Cross for the splendid work
these organizations are doing in the
field. He said there are Salvation
army and Y. NJ. C. A. huts close to the
trenches, and men and women served
the boys in the field with coffee, hot
chocolate and cakes, and did all in
their power to keep up their spirits.

than any of the allies because they

Americans are regarded over there as
the greatest fighters in the world, and

living up to that reputation. The
Boches are no match for them, and
l am as certain that Americas en-
trance into this war will win it for
allies, as l am certain that there is a
God in heaven"
Captain Scott did not take part in
any big battles, though he was in
several small trench raids. At one
time he was bound for Toul, France,
on mission, and losing his way at
night he drove into Nancy, several
miles off his route. He arrived just
in time to witness an aerial raid on
the part of the Huns.
Bombs weighing from so to 500
pounds were dropped onto the city
by the Hun aviators," the captain
said. when they exploded anywhere
