The Germans worship the Christian

The German Gott' is "A modern image

kept their ideas to their own land

I'VE are fighting for democracy,

NEW MEADE CAMP
FOR SIGNAL CORPS

CAMP MEADE, Sept. almost like
magic the new signal corps camp is
going up at Kelly's Crossing. Miles
of railroad tracks already connect up
all parts of this new built area with
the older camp. Major r A. DenneIl.
the construction quartermaster, was
a builder OF big things before the
war, and since then has handled some
OF the most difficult jobs in France
as well as in the United States He
has with him a force of hustlers who
are making speed to get the new
camp ready before cold weather.
The War Department Commission
on Training Camp Activities will
build a theater in the new camp. The
Y. N. c. A. will put up four huts and
the Knights of Columbus and Y. w.
c. A. will have buildings.
The rush period is now on in this
camp on account of the arrival Of
thousands of new draftees and the
big task of completing the organiza-
tion of the Lafayette Division. Taps

sleep for the men in the training or
ganizations and most others, but
there are others who have been up as

FOE ISDEPRESSED
by ALLIED AIR RAIDS

LONDON, Sept 2-The following
information was received from the
Rhine front: In an air raid on Co
logne on August 81 the casualties
were forty-five killed and 175 wound,
ed. One big hotel was badly smash
ed. The informant learned from a
traveller that in the last raid on
Frankfort the station was badly dam
aged, twelve being killed there.
At Cologne and elsewhere consid-
cradle material damage was done by
the Germans own shellfire, apparent
ly 77-mm. guns being used.
In conversation with army refu-
gees during the raids enlightening
language was used about the dreaded
British airmen that will not bear
printing, but it is no longer rare
to hear Germans grumbling why did
we ever raid London and Paris?"
The informant, who had every op-
portunity OF observing, states that
the 1920 class of recruits is now be-
ing sent to the west front, some
tunes after only four weeks train
ing. They are not bad material,
though they make a bad impression
when first seen, especially in their
ragged civilian clothes They are
mostly sent to be sandwiched in with
men of the older classes, and the
weak point about them is If the
pressure on the German front can
steadily be maintained at the present
extent these young recruits will never
have time to become a source OF
strength insted of weakness.

GIBBONS WARNS
OF PEACE DRIVE

washingtonians received first hand
warning against GeFmany's coming
peace offensive when Floyd Gibbons,
Washington newspaper man, who
wears the Croix de Guerre for brav-
cry at the front, started his lecture
tour at the National Theater last
nigh.
Germany is about to set up q ca
mouflaged national cry Of Kane
rad" he said. at is a preparatory
step toward a negotiated peace, and
am back from France to tell you
that your sons. your brothers, and
your husbands do not want any
peace except that which comes from
a decisive military victory in the
field.
"They know that they can get it,
too"
p Gibbons was wounded three times
in the battle OF Chateau Thierry. One
of the most interesting portions OF
his speech was his description Of
his experiences in this battle, and
how II feels to be wounded. He told
how, in undertaking the rescue OF
an American officer on a bullet swept
field, he was struck by German bull
let's, one of which cost him his left
eye.
Humor, too, had its place In Glib
bons' speech. He is not as accom-
plished a speaker, perhaps, as the
professional lecturer. But his words
have the ring Of sincerity and his
stories the characteristics of truth.
His narratives of life at the front
made a greater impression on his
audience than the greatest flights OF
oratory could have made.
He told of Pershing's arrival In
France, which he witnessed. He told
of the American training camps and
schools over there. He told of the
fight at Chateau Thierry, where he
was wounded, and where he returned
a few days later to see the marines
break through for the beginning of
the allied drive that is yet rolling
back the Huns.
He did not neglect the Red Cross,
the 7. II. C. A and the other relief
agencies and organizations at the
front. He praised them in high
terms, and cited as an example of
their wonderful efficiency his own
experience-thrice wounded at once,
and so effectively treated that with
in ten days he was able to be back
at the front, at work.
The audience last night included
many dignitaries-the French Am
bassador and Nine. Jusserand. Mrs.
Lansing, the American Minister to
Sweden and Mrs Ira Nelson Morris,
and others.
Gibbons, who still carries one arm
l. ia 49,, r.
Gen. George NJ Barnett, commandant
of the marine corps, who said that
the marines were proud to claim
Gibbons as one of their fighting
comrades.
Gibbons featured his message to
Americans with the exhortation:
"Clench your fist, tense your arm,
grit your teeth, and stick to the fin
ish."

DRAFT EVADERS
FACE DETECTION

Attempts to evade registration on
September IL by men made subject to
military service by the man-power
bill fixing the draft age limits at eight
cen and forty-fve will be hopeless,
Provost Marshal General crowder's
Office asserted last night in sum-
marizing the Governments expert
enee with the draft to date. Between
10000 and $4,000 men who failed to
register In 1917 have been rounded
up since, the statement said. Meas
ures to catch delinquents have i'm
proved with experience.
Pointing out that the penalty of q
years Imprisonment and forfeiture
OF exemption rights Immediately de-
wolves upon willful slackers. the
statement said hardly a community
in the United States had failed to
show q swift visitation of the pun
ishment where IL was earned.
While 5000 men subject to the first
draft had crossed to Mexico. their
names are on file with the Depart
ment OF Justice, with cases against
them ready, and sooner or later they
will face the bar. In the meantime,
even fugitives who possess means are
being made. miserable.
Courts manifest no sympathy for
evaders, said the statement, and wom-
en- in all neighborhoods. especially
those whose own relatives have gone
into service, have been exceptionally
active in turning over information
to draft boards. police, and Federal
officials that has been used In later
prosecutions.

AFTER WAR TRADE.

America has made her first move
for garnering her share Of the
worlds trade after the war. Marking
the first tentative outline of such q
plan is an agreement between four
Government agencies which will re-
suit in slightly lifting the ban Of
exports.
Through the coordination of work
between the Treasury, Department OF
Commerce, War Trade Board, and
War Industries, greater privileges
will be accorded the allied and neu-'
tral nations in purchases Nor export
A steady growth in exports can be
expected soon. Especially will there
be an increase in consignments OF So
called nonessentials, it was said.
While the movement, primarily, Is
designed to stabilize exchange, II was
admitted here that such an arrange
ment would necessarily have 70 he es-
tablished to rebuild wrecked channels
of commerce. And the gradually
growing sentiment to aid the non-es-
sential Industries indicates they will
be benefited to a greater extent than
the others. officials said. Insistent

have from time to time given officials
keen insight as to their needs in
American products.
