ESORTY-ONE conscientious DIRECTORS
L are still being held in military
prisons and disciplinary barracks for
their refusal to recognize and obey
military authority, according to bull
letin issued by the American Civil
Liberties union.
Most of the sentences these men
are serving will expire this year. Two
sentences will expire in 1925 and one
in 1923. A few will expire in 1921
and 1922.
These DIRECTORS are the remnant
of a total of some 5000 out of $780,
900 men called to the colors who re-
fused to perform military service. The
others accepted nOncOmbatant service
or went on farms, or with, reconstruc-
ton units.
OF those whose scruples prevented
them from rendering any service or
obedience whatever, only fOrty-One re-
main, and these could obtain their
liberty at any time, the union admits,
if they would fOrego their scruples
to the point of obeying the rules and
regulations and performing the duties
required Of other prisoners.
The union claims that America Is
the only country among those which
recognized conscientious objection to
active participation in war, which has

Taking No Chance on Not Getting Mandy

should be standing there saying over
and over again:
Fright this way, Mandy; TIL take
care of YOU"
What sense was there to man do
ing such thing as that? After he
had said it many times Johnson went
away, but in a couple of hours he was
back again, repeating the same line,
with the same calm dignity as before.
People were puzzled. Yet it was
all simple enough.
The Johnsons had sent to Kentucky
for a cook, name Of Mandy. They
knew her name, but that was all ;
they didn't even know for sure what
train would bring her. But, according
to reports, she was a wonderful cook
who could play culinary selections on
a gas stove just by ear, producing
southern dishes Of rare quality and
fragrance. She was too good a cook
to lose, and she was not accustomed
to finding street addresses in strange
cities.
And that was the reason why the
dignified congressman went to all the
trains and cried out, every time he
saw an able-bodied colOred woman:
Fright this way, Mandy; I'll take
care Of you"

choice in laces. Many of the tailored
blouses are long sleeved, as they
should be, but there are plenty of ex-
ceptions to the rule in this matter The
three-quarter length sleeve is a happy
compromise between the popular elbow
and the long sleeve. The best liked
collars are those tIA}t are high at the
back, with "V"-shaped opening at the
front. They are made of the same ma
tcFial as the blouse and trimmed to
correspond.
One of the new blouses, shown
above, emphasizes embroidery. The
front is extended into a peplum and is
covered with 1t. Since there Is so
much of it in this position it is neces-
sary to practice some reticence IL the
rest Of the blouse; therefore the
sleeves have none and are finished
with binding. The round neck is al
lowed a very simple pattern outlining
it's shape. The color contrasts are not
bold, but pleasing and soft,

MISTAKEN IN HIS SURMISE
Mr.. Brown Somewhat Hasty In 5Iam-
ing the Gramophone for Those
UnearthIy Sounds.

Perfect peace reigned in the
Browns household. The head Of the
family, his days work over, was read
ing, in blissful anticipation of the eve
ming meal which Mrs. Brown was
busy preparing in the kitchen.
The gentle stiffness was suddenly
broken by eerie sounds, apparently
coming from the next hOuse-a weird
moaning, developing into heart-rend-
ing walls and narrowing shriekS.
Mr. Brown jumped up.
"It's Mrs. Woods COMPOUNDED gram
ophone playing Tosti's 'Good-by'"
he cried. 'Lizzie"-to his oldest
daughter-"go and impIore her to stop
it! Tell her Tn ill-tell her we're
all i'll, anything you like, only make
her leave off"
The child obediently hurried out,
and two minutes later came rushing
back.

dad" she said. IT'S the MurphyS

and one can imagine it in any of the
seasons rich, dark cOlOrs, livened by
the Introduction of touches of vivid
color in the embroidery. A long tunic
is boX-plaited, divided at the sides
from waist to hem and rounded at the
bottom. The back portion overlaps the
front at each side and this feature in
the construction Of the dress is brought
out by the ribbon border that finishes
the tunic about the edges. The bodice
is cut in the kimono style, with three
quarter-length sleeves, also bOrdered
with ribbon. An embroidered panel at
the front of the bodice provides a pat
tern that is repeated at the bottom Of
the tunic. 1t is large pattern and
mainly III the same color as the dress
and its ribbon border.
The same ribbon is used for an in
genious and pretty girdle. The girdle
slips under the ribbon border at each
side and turns into two fiat loops that
make an unexpected and attractive
finishing touch for the waistline.

After Usinq.

The woman was the author of a
cookery book that had been published
Mt her request with wide margins and
occasional blank pages for notes and
additional recipes.
Often she had expressed a wish to
see an old copy of the book and find
to what use the blank spaces had
been put. One day in a secondhand
book store her husband unearthed an
old volume. Noticing that it had been
annotated freely, he bought it. After
a day or two he said:
"How about the notes in that cook
cry book? Were they Interestingly"
NO" she said curtly; they didn't
amount to anything"
When he got a chance he looked
through the book himself. Every note
the book contained was a remedy for
dyspepsia and kindred ailments =

and south for timber, as the forests
along the Ohio river were exhausted
At present, their sources Of supply
are very largely the more remote and
inaccessible parts of the Appalachian
mountains and the lower Mississippi

out, no other extensive virgin hard

injected very large speculative ele-

"These men," says the unions bulle-
tin, referring to conscientious objec-
tors still in military prisons in this
country, "are being released slowly as
their sentences expire, or by special
order for reasons not explained by
the war department, which has no
consistent policy Of dealing with con-

ANYBODY standing at the right spot
n at the right moment in the big
Union station in Washington one
night might have seen Representative
Ben Johnson Of Kentucky performing
an odd chore.
1t wouldn't have looked so funny if
Johnson were not so tall and Of such
dignified appearance. He stood by the
big gate where most Of the passengers
were coming from train and every
few moments remarked in a tone of
authority, to nobody in particular:

Forests to Pay Country's Expenses.

A scheme has been outlined for the
county of Otsego in New York by
which forests now existing and those
to be planted will pay the operating
expenses of the county in the near
future. Each of the twenty-four
townships in the county will under
take to plant 100 acres of trees and
the profits of these tracts will soon
be sufficient to take care of the run
ming expenses of the county, so that
taxes will be lowered to the minimum
point.

Pacific Coast Is Excited Over Japanese

Unless we take to heart the lessons
of history" says Senator Phelan, I'VE
will, by our lack Of vigilance, permit
a foOthOld to be gained by these peo-
pie which will ultimately not only de-
feat US commercially in the carrying
trade, as they are fast doing. but mill
tarily in the next world war. Our
civilization is at stake"
"a japanese colony under the Amer
lean flag is not compatible with the
growth of an American state" con-
tinues Senator Phelan. "The soil Of
California is being absorbed by the
japanese and legislation, state and
federal is now being evoked to stem
the yellow tide. 1t is race as well
as an economic problem.
california refuses submissively to
permit its native population to be
driven off the soil. If these people
want California let them take it, not
stealthily, by this process of economic
penetration, but let them fight for it.
California, unfortunately, is just as
much their tributary territory today
under our generous laws as though
they had conquered it by the power
Of arms.
"The Japanese government looks af-
ter its nationals throughout the world.
1t can call on them wherever they
are. They are not released from al
legiance. Emperor worship-Shinto-

wv ASHINGTON.-The Pacific coast
w again is becoming highly wrought
up over the silent, steady penetration
of that section of the country by the
Japanese, and intends to press rene
dial measures at the next session Of
congress. The house committee on
immigration has been investigating the
situation, holding hearings in Califor-
mia and visiting the japanese settle
ments, in preparation for action on
various pending bills ranging all the
way from outright exclusion of Japa-
nese to amendment of the COnstitu-
ton, Withholding American citizenship
from American born Japanese.
Senator Phelan of California sees
Japan reaching out for domination of
the Pacific, and processes great fear
that unless Japan is halted the Uni
ted States will be worsted by the ORR
entail power, not only in trade, but
in war.

has two distinct groups of supporters,
one based on real pan Germanlsm
and the other on economic grouds
thru the conviction that the country
cannot survive as an independent
state.
Along with this. however. is an
other agitation for fusion with Bav-
varia, involving the secession Of that
country from Germany and probably
with the Catholic Rhineland and the
eventual creation of Catholic Ger
man state.
The plebiscite resolution, however,
distinctly provides for n vote on flu
sion with Germany, thus muzzling the
Bavarlan movement. It Is not improb-
able that the supporters of the Ba-
varian movement will find some
means for an expression Of their
plan.
Union with Germany has been
made the outstanding plank Of the
social democratic platform In the
present election campaign.
The belief Is expressed here that
Jugo Slavia and Czecho -Slovakia
would oppose the fusion strongly as
once more giving Germany thrust
eastward with the menace Of extend
ling the German frontiers so as to
bring the former boundaries together.
The whole fusion movement in both
Its aspects. has been watched closely
by the allied representatives here.

FRANCE READY TO FIGHT.
Opposes PROPOSED Merger of Austria
With GERMANY

With Germany.
Paris, Oct. 5.-""Important meas
ures'' are to be taken to enforce the
terms of the treaties with Germany
and Austria and prevent union be-
tween those nations, should the pro-
posed Austrian plebiscite decide in
favor of the project according to the
foreign office.
THE Austrian national assembly
on Oct. adopted unanimously mo-
ton calling on the government to
carry out within six weeks a plebis-
Germany.1
Meanwhile, it is understood no ac-
ton will be taken with view to pre-.
venting the holding of the plebiscita
until views are exchanged among
France, Great Britain and Italy to
determine whether such a plebiscite
comes under the ban Of the treaties.
Both article so Of the Versailles
treaty and article SO of the ST. Ger
main treaty provide that Austria's
independence shall be inalienahle
except with the consent Of the coun-
Gil OF the league of nations" and Ger
many is obligated to respect Austria's
boundaries as defined in the peace
treaty. There has been no suggestion,
it is pointed out, that the league of
nations would approve a union of
Austria and Germany.
French public and official opinion
is strongly opposed to the plebiscite
and the hope has been expressed that
public opinion of other countries may
make Austria reconsider. Attic no
action of any sort has yet been taken.
it is expected the problem will be
brought before the council Of am
bassarorS in some manner.

grand jury in the baseball probe. Mr..
Swami said that no subpoena had
been issued for him. The district at
torney was then questioned:
rs it fair to infer that the reason
that Rothstein will not be SUBJ
poenaed is that the district attorney
will do nothing by virtue Of which
Rothstein could claim immunity?
To which Mr.. Swami replied:
THAT is just 1t. l don't want to
give Mr.. Hothstein Immunity under
any circumstances"
Asserting that many persons"
were rushing to the fore to clear the
name of the master mind" District
Attorney Swami made it clear that
no matter what position persons
knowing of the scandal occupied, the
district attorney would try to COM
pei them to aid In the prosecution in
clearing baseball Of the odium occa-
stoned by the throwing of games.
This statement was made by Mr..
Swami when he was informed that a
prominent member of the bench had
attended a conference at the Hotel
approached" by would-be fixer
and is said to have refused to par
ticipate in the proposed sharp prac-
tice Involving the baseball series. In
this connection Mr.. Swami said: \
IF any judge had guilty knowledge
that the throwing Of games by the
White Sox was proposed, he isn't a
fit man to sit on the bench. How
ever, I doubt that you would find q
Judge on any bench in New York
City who would listen to any such
proposition without promptly dis
closing it to the district attorney.
Furthermore, IL any member Of the
bar has any evidence that any judge
has guilty knowledge of this venal
arrangement, his duty as member
of the bar is to disclose that fact to
the prosecutors office"
