the Forest Grove young man is to be
one of the O,OO0 men Uncle Sam is
enrolling to replace the soldiers who
are now in France. He re-enlisted at
the local recruiting office as a private

One-third of the boys who are en-
listed in the new army of 1000 are
those who have seen former service,
according to Colonel Samuel a. KEEP
hart, who is in charge of the recruit
ing station here.
David Everett, who is now / s years

the war because he wasn't old enough.

Lewis Melville was severly wounded
in the Argonne. but he didn't get
enough excitement, so he has enrolled

NEGRO TALKS HIS
WAY OUT OF fine
IN CITY COURT
George Hodges Gives His Elo-
quence Full Sway in Case Where
Wife Charged Him With
Threats.
CONDUCTS HIS OWN CASE

Apparently George Hodges, Negro,
would reverse all court procedure to suit
himself Even court etiquet needs
revision, so Hodges seemed to think
today, when he WAS doing all the taking
in City Court to save his freedom.
His wife, Emma. had him arrested,
charged with threatening to kill her
and her sister.
Hodges was told he might ask his
corpulent accuser any question. What
appeared to the Negro, with blinking eyes
and wide white rims, to be a piece of
Grass nnpertinence on the part OF Deputy
Judge Finger in trying to conilne the
ross-examination TO direct questions,
caused the Negro to call the court to
order.
"Lissen to me, interrupted Hodges,
pointing O stern. argumentatlve finger
directly at the bench The judicial
temperament unmaved by this heroic
call-down from the prisoners dock, the
Judge went on TO say To the prisoner that
he had no right to argue with his wife, on
the witness stand.
Later on the court allowed the Negros
eloduence a full head OF steam and the
tall tailxer actually mouthed his way
out of what appeared to be tight
technical place. The wife testified, and
was corroborated by her sister, that her
spouse threatened to kill both women
last Sunday at 250S West Second street.
But the wife did not hear it. il developed.
Hodges was so insistent that he went TO
the house after long conjugal break,
saddencd only. he said by q forced stop
at the workhousc only 10 talk over
business matters" with his erstwhile
companion.
He declared vehcmentIy that he was
chilled to the bone with the reception
from his sistcr-in-law and that "sech
thing as making threats was the furtherest
thing from his mind.
The Judge gave him the benefit Of the
doubt, but Court Officer Daniels will see
that Hodges docs not repeat his visit
20 his wife
Not satisfied with this, Hodges was not
done talking yet lIc wanted to call
male witness He had lot Of them, he
said. But when he learned they had been
summoned by the other side his loQua-
cious tongue ceased rs if paralyzed.
