FIBS TO GET in ARMY
Now Old Man Has to Fight to
49, Get Out.
Stretches Truth for Chance to Serve
in the Army Of Great Britain,
r.. Peace DiscIoses.

London-Incidents Of men stretch
ing the truth considerably to get into
the British army when England needed
every man and then resorting virtually
to mutiny to get out after the armis-
tice was signed have been shown at
Folkestone during investigation Of the
first rehabilitation demonstrations
there. After several hundred men had
declined to embark for France at the
end of their Christmas leave the mill
tary authorities began investigating
each case separately.
One man who might be judged any
where from 80 to so years of age ap-
peared before the examining officers.
ION what ground do you think you
should be released now?' he was
asked.
I'm mere than Al years Of age" he
said, relying upon the rule that men
Of that age or more should be released
as soon as possible.
But your army book shows you
enlisted fifteen months ago at the age
Of 49,"
II gave that as my age to get in,
sir. am so years old now"
'You will have to prove that" came
a quick reply, whereupon he turned
to middle-aged woman spectator, his
wife, who had anticipated the situa-
ton and produced birth certificate.
he will be released at once and the
method by which he volunteered will
be conveniently forgotten.
During the last year Of the war no
miners were allowed to join the army.
Their ranks already had been depleted
until barely enough coal was being pro-
duced.
Another remonstrator claimed he
should be released because he was q
miner. His record showed he repre-.
sented himself as a f1shmonger in or
der to join the colors. When he proves
he is a miner he will be released.

MEETINGS ARE POPULAR.

Farmers Community Meetings are
evidently quite popular this summer.
Reports reaching the State Develop
ment Committee at the Board of
Trade Building, Louisville, KY, show
that about 20 counties have organic
ed and are ready to have the dates
set for their meetings.
The plans of this committee call
for meetings in the southern part of
the State on the main branch of the
L. & N. early in July. The meet
ings which follow will be scattered
along the L. & N northward and will
later in the season swing into the
eastern end of the State. The Pur-
chase and the Penerile will be taken
care of sometime after the first of
August, as these meetings will be
continued into September.

pie On Earth" as the B. P. o. e. is
generally interpreted, will back with
all their usual energy and vigor the
campaign to raise in Kentucky the
States quota for the Home Service

work in Kentucky will include
"boozeless" saloons in the cities now
wet, where there is any demand for
them, extention of the work of the
Army among the poor and the down
and-out, a permanent building for
the Army in Lexington, which will
be purchased if proper location can
be found, and the regular work Of
the Army.
Warm endorsement of the Home
Service campaign in Kentucky is
given in telegram sent out by Sec
rotary Fred o. Neutzel, of the Ken
lucky .Elk's Association. The cam
paign in Kentucky, which was de-
layed because of inability to get
into the State at the time of the
National Campaign, May IL to &c,
will begin June % and end June go.
In his telegram to the Secretaries
of the local Elks' lodges, Secretary
Neutzel says:

THE NEW POLAND

Ry the signing Of the Polish treaty
on wedne sday Poland definitely takes its
place among the powers Of the earth.
Polish people again come into their own
as an independent, self-governing nation.
The wrongs Of the first, second and
third partitions of Poland. the crimes
Of Russian. Austrian and Prussian rul-
ers are al last rightcd. The Polish prob
lem has been one Of the acute problems
OF Middle Europe since the Polish state
was bounced upon by its three stronger
neighbors and sliced up among them
The Poles have fought bravcly in dozen
wars with the hope that out or these
wars might come an amelioratton or
their condition. The Polish regiments
were the backbone of the lcgions which
Sapoleon led TO Moscow. and when
others fell away from the banner OF
the great Corsican. when the Sa1ons and

still stood true TO his cause When Ma

state he failed to do so. but from a
greater war q century later Poland
energies fnally triumphant.
No lesson Of history is clearer than
that a numerous people, possessed OF
pride Of race and history. cannot be
permanently subjected to foreign yoke
Tho small states rising throughout Gen.
trail Europe are today evidences OF the
rebir,h Of nationalitics. many OF which
bave been subjected and suppressed for
centuries. In the new day Of democracy
these states will come into their own
not. perhaps, without trouble and dis
cord. but certainly under conditions thai
promise more for their people. for their
peaceful development and for the har-
mony Of the world than those that cX-
listed In the past.

ANOTHER YELLOW PERIL

From time to time we have conjured
I'D in this country the so-called yellow
per,l which, however. has never mate
rialized. Now q writer in the New York
Times send from Geneva startling
story about a worldwide league Of Mos
lens and Hindus. followers of Moham-
med and Budah organized for tho pur-
poss of breaking European domination
In Asia and Africa Primarily. Of course,
the object Of this league. so far as It ex-
lists, is to hamper the Entente Allies,
particularly France and Great Britain,
10 give them causes for trouble In Syria.
India, Egypt. Persia and other Oriental
lands and German money and German
intrigue are said TO be back OF the or
ganization.
While the possibility Of such a racial
and religious uprising is not to be de-
ned, until some very substantial derel-
onnAnt occurs We ought not to get AK
