 the mining and smelting business, and | upon learning that Major White was ill of pneumonia, stopped off in Birming ham to see him and ascertain his condi- ton. When seen at the Tutwiler by a | representative of The Age-Herald, Major | Taussig was asked about the affair at
 Camp Funston and he said:
 'I read with much interest, Major Frank $. White Jr.'s statement regard inS the so-cailed conscientious objectors rhe Birmingham Age Herald of Janu ary l, and feel that Major White has truthfully and carefully described many of the conditions which existed.
 "As commanding officer of the Tenth military police. it was my misfortune to have to deal with 19 of these alleged ob- jectors, most of whom were of the worst type inducted into the national army. None of these men were religious ob- jectors; the only class exempted by the selective service act, approved May IS, 1917. These 19 were sent to Camp Funs- ton on orders of the war department from 10 other camps (the camps from which they came were scattered over
 the country from Massachusetts to Texas), and from the very moment of their arrival at Funston they displayed
 the utmost contempt for all military au-
 thority. They refused to perform any i ,1,nt- I

 in sanitary condition. They would inn
 mediately resent any words which had
 the semblance of military order-not
 merely refusing to obey but often, to
 show their contempt for men in the serv-
 ice. would do the exact opposite to wha.
 they were told For example: When the
 guards were changed in the late after
 noon, it was necessary to clear the prison yard in order to have sufficient room to parade both the old and the new guards in accordance with the usual custom.
 If, by chance one of these so-caled ob- jectors were seated in the yard at this time and was told to move, he would not only refuse, but or many occasions, would lie on his back, kick his feet in the air and yeN-even though no one vas within 10 feet of him. On several occasions I have witnessed them while marching for meals. stPaggle behind the column of prisoners to such an extent that it was necessary for the guards to order them to close up" so as to main tain proper control over the group Not only would they refuse to close up, but often would either sit or lie down in the road forcing two orN more of the guards to carry them the remainder of the way

 of Rule
By Associated Press

New York, January S.-Temporary abro- gs ton of the rule requiring approximately six months residence at college before a student is eligible to compete in an inter- collegiate association of amateur athlet- ies of American championship events has been proposed by the executive commit tee of that organization. Letters have been sent to all the colleges and uni versailles of the association calling atten- tion to a meeting of the committee here January 26, at which the proposed amend ment will be considered,
 It is proposed that regular student in good standing in any member of the as- sociation at the time he entered the mill itary service of the United States on re turning to the university or college pre- vious to April l, 1919, be held to have been in good standing, even though by reason of absence he has been dropped from his class into lower class or has been trans ferred from one department to another
 It is further proposed that residence as a member of the students army training corps. and thereafter without interrup- tion as regular student, shall be re- garded as compliance with the require ments of the association.

PROTECTED BY DEPARTMENT

That these alleged conscientious ob- jectors were protected and even encour- aged by certain elements of the war de- partment was soon evident, for upon questioning them they always invariably replied: We do not have to do anv- thing. The Hon. MT KeppeI has told ns so referring to Frederick P Keppel. tnlrd assistant secretary of war. Stste nentS or this nature were not only made by the prisoners. but letters and state hehts or their friends and relatives al most always indicated that they were encouraged in their attitude towards the military authorities by letters from Mir. keppel
 Perhaps the whole situation is most clearly indicated in Secretary Bakers s letter of July P. 1918, addressed to the President wherein he states: We are now doing absolutely all that public opinion Will stand, in the interest of conscien. tious opJectors, and others whose views do not happen to coincide with those of the vast majority of their fellowcoun- trymen On the other hand-that more was being done than public opinion would stand is evident from the fact that all most all war department orders relating to conscientious objectors contained the following paragraph: Under no cir cumstanceS should these instructions be communicated to the newspapers.
 Major White referred to this in his statement in connection with the orders issued by the war department on Octo- Der 10, 1917, but failed to mention that this clause was also part of the instruc- tions issued by the war department under date of December 19 1917, as follows; The secretary of War directs that until fur ther instructions on the subject are is- sued personal scruples against war should be considered as constituting
 conscientious objectors' and such persons should be treated in the same manner as other conscientious objectors under the mtructions contained in confidential let ter from this office, dated October 10, 19l7.'

He spoke of the plan de- vised by which $400 coo would be raised to be divided equally between Howard q and Judson colleges and the many diff faculties experienced. first. on account of the war, and later by the influenza epidemic, but assured the convention that this work would be pushed and the money raised by the last of July.
 Dr. Paul V. Bomar president of Jud : son college, made splendid talk on the work at this institution and es~ pecially of the wonderful cooperation between faculty and students. He spoke of the needs of the college, the present building being inadequate to accommodate the students applying for entrance.

AS this caused addi- tonal work for the guards and other prisoners the latter soon developed such hatred for these alleged conscientious objectors that, fearing trouble, an order was issued which provided that these 1s men would be placed in separate room Of ample dimensions. and that no one except special sentinel designated by the commander of the guards, be allowed therein.
 T am frank to state that this feeling or the other prisoners was fully justified These other prisoners were as a rule. soldiers who were arrested in the mid west by the civil authorities for absence without leave, and sent to Camp Fun ston for confinement pending disposition by the adJutant general of the army Some were splendid fellows, who on ac- count or homesickness or on account of the sickness of wife or children. had left their organizations. without permis- sion, for short time These men, who were willing to make the supreme sacri- nee for their country, and because they were soldiers who obeyed orders were compelled to perform the most menial tasks for the 19 men. who not only re- fused to wear a uniform and bear arms put who performed no work of any kind under military Sunarvisiop
