of our service that they would take these emhlems of service from us? They are all we have to show folks back home in Alabama. These little chevrons didn't cost but few cents each. but they COS. far more at the front in France. Yes, sir, we paid the loss of many hours of sweet sleep when we were crouching in the trench waiting to go over and get at grips with the enemy, or waiting to beat off an attack of the Hun. We paid tho loss of warm beds while scratching "cooties'' in a pile of foul-smelling hay over stables in France; we kept paying the cost while wearing the horrible gas masks when the Boche rained deiuge of poison shells upon us; we lost many of our best friends over here; we lost the pleasure of riding in nice automobiles ba ok home; we lost the plea sure of the home circle the companionship of the wife mother, sweetheart and friend back in the states: we had to knock around over here on foreign soil with letter from home just now and then to cheer us up bit. s
 We'll, MT. Editor, don't you think we paid out enough in these things to entitie us to wear our chevrons home with us?
 Does anybody back home envy the poor old doughboy-the common buck private the little service stripe he wears over here so much that he would want our Congress to forbid us to, return with them? Such miserable little souls, II there be such in America, ought to go off somewhere and hide their faces from the sight of all honest and patriotic soldiers and citizens. Many brave lads in the states may well envy our service and doubtless they longed for an oppor- tunity to join hands with us here in punching the face of the Hun, but they do not envy us the service chevrons we won in France, no they rejoice that we have them We want to know what the trouble is all about. We never thought our Congress would treat the old flea bitten doughboy to deal like that. I hope, we all hope, the report Is all false. PAUL E. RlCE InteIligence section Third battalion,

CAMOITFLAGED HIS WHISKY

Anniston, March 9.-(Special)- )-Lewis Peters, Hobson City negro, will be tried in the county court here next Friday afternoon. and will introduce a novel de- fense in his effort to convince the court that he is not guilty of the charge brought against him by Sheriff Parker.
 The negro became mixed up with the officers in Hebson City Friday afternoon when the sheriff raided a number of houses in that town. Peters was ob served by the officers to remove quart bottle from his clothing, sit it down on the ground and walk away.
 Sheriff Parker pulled the cork and took a ''smell'' in the neck of the bottle and 8 strange expression came over his ruddy ccuntenance. The bottle was half filled with a concoction in which the odor of "assifidty' predominated. Suspecting that the bottle contained whisky with the medicine designed to disguise it's real ity the sheriff captured the bottle and when he looked around for the negro he had disappeared.
 Saturday the officers located the negro and placed him in jail and will attempt to secure his conviction because of the alleged presence of the whisky in the quart bottle. and the defendant's evident desire to prevent it being found on his person when the officers made their raid against the negro town.

MISSIONARY FLAYS
 WILSON; GETS OFF. EXCEEDINGLY LUCKY.
Audience of 700 Starts a Rough House and Police Surround the Speaker
 at Cries of Treason
By AssnelAtsd Prsss

New York, March 9.-Rev. Dr. George A. Simons, a Methodist missionary who was stationed in Russia for Ii years and who appeared as witness before the Senate committee Investigating propa- ganda, started a tempest when he de- clared in an address at the Central Young Mems Christian association in Brooklyn that President Wilson was playing into the hands of the bearers of the red fleg.
 Instantly there was cries of that Is treason" and throw him out" but 8 saved the speaker from rough handling l,y persons in the audience of 700 who heard his assertion.
 Three sailors in uniform demanded that Dr. Simons apologize. He responded by saying that he believed President Will son 'as fine a Christian gentleman as we have in America. Later Young Mems Christian association secretary apologized in behalf of the association for the remarks of the missionary.
 T believe in respecting our President SO long as he respects the traditions ot cur fathers" said Dr. Simons in his ad- dress, but when he is guilty of pussy footing and playing into the hands of the bolshevists and bolshevist vote-getters it is time that Woodrow Wilson should come to the mourners' bench to be re eonsecrated in the spirit of American ism
 There were cries of throw him out and someone cried that is sedition of the worst kind while others tried 10 make themselves heard above the din. When about 20o of the audience had left inc auditorium and the missionary was able to go on, he seemed decidely ner- vo1s.
 T believe that I have the right to let President Wilson know what l expect oi him. he went on, 'even if he is the President. Haven't we the right to re- quest him to be an American? lam opposed to bolshevism because it was made in Germany. 1 say that Wood row Wilson is playing into the hands of the holders of the red flag
 At this point in his speech the mission ary was interrupted by catcalls and he was surrounded by the police.

SERBIA AN ECONOMIC AND PHYSICAL RUIN,

Red Cross Official Declares Death List Among the
 Civilians Greater Than

New York. March 0.-Serbia was
 described teddy ss both .. econond-
 ic and physical ruin by Dr. Louis I.
 Dublin, q statisticiar of New York,
 just returned from . health survey
 of Italy, Greece, Serbia and Jugo-
 slavfa for the American Red Cress.
 Dr. Dublin declared that in every
 one of the conn tries ravaged by the
 enemy the number sf deaths from
 disease in the civilian population
 far sutnumber the war casuaIties.
 As an exanple of this. he men .tioned Italy, where, he said, nearly
 So0sO0e civilians died from iaflu-
 enxa. Serbia has suffered worst of all, hs said. and he estimated 1t would take t5 to 20 years to restore her to her nor nal condition.
 The epidemic of typhus fever in 1S16," he continued, "caused 0,000 deaths and removed moro than 100 of the country's physicians. In BeI- grade alone in 1s17 tuberculosis re- moved 1h per cent of the population, and it is safe to estimate that 10 per cent Of the civilian population died each year during the occupation period. In a nation of 5,000,00o loss of 30. per cent in the total population is seri- ous matter, but it is worse when it is considered that of the remaining 3.50o,- 900 practically 7S per cent are in a sub normal condition from starvation, suf- fering and disease.
 The Bulgarians immediately after their occupation of Serbia segregated the best specimens of Serbian manhood, womanhood and childhood, and drove them out of Serbia into Bulgaria, where they worked them mercilessly. They worked women and mere children on the road. They paid them barely a pfttance, not enough to live on. In my trip through Serbia encountered thou : sands of them coming back, and they were just emaciated ragbaEs. Tho eyes of many children showed trachoma- In most instances, the returning Serbians walked along tho roadsides exhausted, sleeping until they found strength to go on again. living on crusts of black bread and perhaps 8 little goats milk which they could get now and then
 The only possible hindrance to quick relief will be Italy's refusal to allow our provisions to pass through Plume to the railroad which Is held by the yugo-Slavs, but cannot believe that will happen, in spite of the bad feeling between the two people; for refusal will moan the death of thousands of inno- cent men, women and children y
 Referring to the conditions of Creeks in Macedonia. Dr. Dublin said that when the Austrians and the BuiEarians broke through into Saionfki they sekre- gated 1z0,00o Greeks from the popuiA- tion and drove them to Bulgaria, where they worked thcm like slaves. Only 35, 900 of these came back, he said.

Deliveries of southern pine to the government from July 1, 1917. to May 2s, 1918, were 2,s00. 0.0oo, 900 feet. which, it is estimated, would require solid train of cars extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border, and would make board walk three feet wide extending six times around the world, or build a solid board fence 50 feet high that would circle the geo graphical borders of the United States.

NO DEVELOPMENTS REPORTED

Anniston. March s.-fSpecial )-Beyond the unofficial estimate that B horses and mules have been stolen at Camp Me Ciellan during the past few weeks no new developments have been reported by the civil or military authorities growing out of the arrest Thursday night of Pri- vate Leo P. Wilson and Private E. O. Pierce, both of the remount station.
 Rumors to the. effect that secret ser vice men have been detailed to 'investi- gate the extent of the tiieving unearthed by the arrest of the two soldiers are in circulation, and while nobody seems to be in position to make any statement of a positive nature the belief prevails that other arrests in the case are to be made as soon as the authorities assemble the evidence now in hand.
 The bulk Of the missing animals are believed in many quarters to have been shipped out from the camp immediately after the big auction sale there last week. when 200 horses and mules we're sold to dealers and farmers singly, in pairs and in lots up to % or more.
