ter of Samuel Gompers, president of

Miss GomperS was thought to be on
the road to recovery last night. Ker
sudden death is an unexpected shock
to relatives and friends and the per-

Evidence of the affection and esteem
in which she was held by all her
fathers associates in the conduct OF
labor affairs, from high officials down
to the rank and file, was plainly ap-

Jerry Muskrat Apologies.

The eyes of Blacky the Crow
twinkled and snapped and snapped
and twinkled as he watched Reddy
Fox hurry from the Old Pasture down
across the Green Meadows toward
Farmer Browns cornfield and garden
Then Blacky chuckled and haw-hawed
and caw-cawed as he flew over to the
Green Forest.
Jerry Muskrat must be back to the
Smiling Pool by this time and Reddy
will have his hurry and trouble for
nothing" chuckled Blacky.
1t was just as Blacky thought. Red
DIV hurried with all his might. and
when Reddy really hurries he can g t
over the ground very fast indeed. He
hurried with all his might until he
was near the end of Farmer Browns
cornfie1d, where the rows of carrots
were. Then he slowed down to a walk.
To have seen him you would have
thought him just out walking for his
health with nothing at all on his
mind. You see, n didn't want to
brighten Jerry Muskrat if it should be
that Jerry was anywhere about.
So Reddy walked along between the
rows and all the time his keen glances
were darting this way and that way

TOEXAM|NE MEN

Work Will Begin Tonight Un-
der Ample Safeguards
Against Epidemic.
PLANS OF THE OFFICIALS

Physical examination of men placed
in class 1 of the draft from the Sep
TENDER 12 registration in the District
is to begin tonight at o'clock at the
truckhousc on New Jersey avenue
between D and E streets northwest
Every rrecaution will be taken to
avoid exposure of registrants to Span
ish influenza infection. Doctors and
clerks who will conduct the nightly
examinations will wear gauze masks.
Registrars will be kept in the open
air until their turn comes to be ex-
amined. 1t is not deemed necessary to
require them to wear masks, although
this step may be taken if it is later
thought advisable. For the present,
however, it is thought that ample
safety is insured by the small num-
Der of men examined each night, and
the requirement that they stay out
side the truckhouse until called in
for examination.

Others Examined Later.

The examinations of men of all local
boards of the city will follow. The
physical tests will be given as expe-
ditiously as officials can carry on the
work under the handicap imposed upon
the headquarters by influenza
The epidemic has not been able to
stop the local draft work, which huns
on merrily at headquarters at the Dis
trict building. More than 800 local
men were indicted into the military
service of the United States today.
These were eighteen-year-old men
who are part of the Students Army
Training Corps in operation at the
George Washington University,
Georgetown University, Catholic Uni
versity and Howard University. Stu
dents in the corps are holding no
classes for study, on account of the
Influenza, but are drilling regularly.
More than 1000 men will be indicted.

Twenty registrants of No. board will

the examinations every night 1t will
be decided later whether to extend the
inspections to the day time.
The plan of holding night examina-
tions was originate in this city and cur
ried into effect with marked SUCCESS. 1t is
estimated that by transferring the phys
zeal examinations from the morning
and afternoon hours to evening hours
literally hundreds of days were saved

work. Thus they we're enabled to carry
on their regular practices and devote
the evenings to the men.
On account of the local epidemic of

help with the draft examinations at
this time. The work is being done
solely by Capt. James J. Kilroy, medi-
cal aid of the local selective service

TO Women
A NEW BLOUSE FROM PARIS

make every effort to discard the
blouse that is tucked into the skirt
One of these blouSeS was shown at
an exhibition of French gowns In con-
nection with a Cheruit suit, and 1t is
quite probable that the idea was
strongly indorsed by this exclusive
house in Paris, which has always been
markedly against the joining line OF
4 blouse and skirt.
One-piece frocks were insisted upon
at the house of Cheruit. before the
American houses even thought of par
TALLY discarding the coat, skirt and
separate shirt waist; and when Cheru1t
made coat suits, she insisted upon
skirt that became a one-piece frock
in some fashion. or she eliminated the
bare, bold severity of the straight line
around the middle of the figure which
put into strong contrast two opposing
colors at the very part of Woman's
anatomy where the lines should be
smoothed down and melted out of eX-
iStence.
Cheruit's New Blouse.
The new blouse that Cheruit exploits
with one-piece frock was brought to
this country and shown at the mid
September. exhibitions. and it is now
taken up by exclusive houses as a
in the sketch today.
The frock itself is cut on chemise
lines. but slimly cut against the figure,
so that one is reminded Of the direc-
toire. This shaping is done by panels
under the arms, a trick which has
been tried out in American houses
with success and which has given
pleasure to women who do not care
for the bag-like frock.
You will notice that the front and
back of the skirt are tucked in to the
hem, in the oriental fashion. There is
evidently no way to kill this idea. AS
much as the critics decry it and the
majority of women deplore it, it holds
good because it has a graceful line.
and it is appreciated by hundreds of
women who know that it makes the
ankles and feet look small.
Now, over this chemise frock, SIM
ply and severely cut. is loose, cape
blouse of tan wolfe which is pulled
high at the neck and runs down in
two long lines in front to the hips. 1t
is tucked under at the hem, in the
oriental fashion, to carry out the sill
houette of the hem of the skirt, and
it is tied in place by a narrow belt of
the black satin. 1t is slashed at the
sides, hangs loose and cape-like in
back, and is embroidered in straight,
oriental lines in black and gold.

Says Germans Must Disarm.

.. Germany must be disarmed and
left helpless. Her munition factories
must be destroyed There must be no
resumption of her military system.
She must be a dependent nation until
the allies can be sure that she will not
attempt to repeat the destruction she
has wrought upon the world in the
last four years.
Minis said. but if the allied nations are
not to be armed camps they must be
carried out. This is capital punishment
for a nation and perhaps many innocent
Germans must suffer.
But why should we shrink from the
inevitable" said Senator CumminS.
Either they must suffer or the millions
who have died on the battlefields shall
have died in vain"

The last few issues of the Non

loyal patriotic sentiment, boosting
Liberty Bonds and backing the war.
The Republican is pleased to public

people it does not stand for Bob La

And that the League came under
suspicion is its own fault. 1t should
have denounced the traitors from

The democratic county chairman

The democratic county chairman
of Clearwater county has supported
traitors, sympathized with the dis
loyal, fraternized with the traitors,
and opened the columns OF his paper
to those guilty of opposition to the
Government. How does that set on
the stomach of loyal democrats?
When ,Hofstede was released from
Jail for disloyalty and treason 1t
was the Clearwater county demo-
cratic county chairman who gave
this arch conspirator his first warm
welcpme, and grasped the hand that
ached to strike the death-blow to
this nation. Truly, birds of a
feather flock together And the
loyal men and women of this land
must stand solidly against the foe,
guised as he may be, or go under.
No loyal American can compromise
with treason; no loyal citizen can
fraternize with disloyalty; no true
American can grasp the hand of the
traitor and lay claim TO 100 per
cent loyalty. We have but two kinds
OIL people in this country--the loyal
and the disloyal. There is no such
thing as $3.50 loyalty, or $3.50 cit

United States you are pro-German,
for no Stacker is worse than the
man or woman guilty of negative
patriotism. Nor can the democratic
county chairman associate with, aid.
abet and sympathize with traitors
and at the same time claim to be
true blue and loyal to America. If,
then, the loyal democrats cannot rid
their party of this stencil then there
is no place in the democratic party
in Clearwater county, Idaho. for the
democrats who are loyal and true
to their country. For the line must
be drawn; men and women must
take their stand. and those who are
loyal must step to the right, on the
side of Old Glory and Uncle Sam,
for Freedom. Liberty and Democ-
raey, or to the left with the enemies
of these things, and with the foes
of this nation. There can be no
compromise, no $3.50 allegiance; no
half and half loyalty. Those who
are not all for us are all against us.

CASES OF ALLEGED DISLOY-
Atty GET A HEARING

The following is a report OF the
Clearwater county Council of De-
Tense on their proceedings Saturday,
furnished for publication by the De
Tense Council
At a meeting of the local War
Board, Saturday afternoon, Albert
Casperson was called before the
Board and questioned as to alleged
o-German sentiments expressed by
him on the previous evening in
local store. Casperson denied being
pleased by the news of the capture
of a large number of British priS-
oners and his admissions, in view
of his apparent ignorance of Eng
lish and of the fundamental facts
with reference to the war, were not
of nature which justified the Board
in further action. He was admon-
ished to guard his speech in the flu
ture and to support the Govern
ment, which he promised to do. He
was asked who was Governor OF
Idaho and said he did not know.
Casperson is a Norwegian and
works in the woods near Orofino.
He was naturalized in Wisconsin 16
years ago, but does not appear to
have the qualifications essential to
citizenship. He seems to be harm
less.
Louis Sleifert and Ed Mcguire of
Cavendish were before the War
BBoard Saturday afternoon on
charge of making statements In
public derogatory to the cause of
the allies. Both denied saying that
they hoped all British ships would
be sent to the bottom and they were
excused by the Board, the evidence
before the Board being insufficient
to justify further investigation.
A number of Dunkards from the
Cavendish section were also before
the War Board Saturday afternoon.
The investigation of alleged disloyal
utterances by preachers in the
Dunkard church has been continued
and the local board is determined
to sift the matter carefully. Other
witnesses will be examined and a
close watch will be kept on the ac-
tivities and utterances of these peo-
pie. They quote the Bible in sup
port of their opposition to war and
place their religion ahead of their
allegiance to Uncle Sam. This is q
dangerous attitude to take in these
times.
