The committee completed discussion ol the hill an<l Chairman Chamherlaiu announced it would he favorably reported to the senate .Monday. After dis cussing the resolution introauceu wmv time ago by .Senator Chambcrl. m providing fur the drafting of citizens of allied countries under such provisions as may fee agreed upon in treaties, the committee referred the matter to a sub-committee which will confer with 1 Secretaries llaker and Lansing and iIk-ii Irani*- an amendment. ? Senator llenry Hercnger, in an article in the i'aris Matin discusses the question of eifectives. He is a member of the army committee of the French senate. "In reality," the senator writes, "we are lighting with about 7,tiiiO.tiUU mfn against ".ooo.'Mt. I'erhaps we are a few hundred thousand less num??vus, but the Americans are arriving in such numbers that the numerical difference will be made up in a few weeks. It would be unreasonable to ascribe the events oi March -1 and May Z" purely to the number of effectives. Such a legend merely hides the faults of conception and execution." Senator licrcnger then deals with other factors as rcgurds effectives, their quality and manner of their employment, arguing that the French have been mistaken in using their forces, as it is certain they are fairly equal in number to the forces of the enemy all along the front. Light "Itussellitcs" or followers of the late "Pastor uusscu, who n.n been on trial in the Federal court ill Brooklyn, were found guilty by the jury Friday night on all four counts of the indictments. The indictments charKed wilful conspiracy to obstruct the draft, to discourage enlistment, to foment insubordination and to foment disloyalty among the armed forces of the nation m violation of the espionage act. Their illegal acts were chiefly contributions to a hook, "The Finished Mystery." The defendants, who tiad expected acquittal, appeared stunned when the foreman, responding to Judge Howe's question, declared the verdict to be guilty. Kach count carries a maximum penalty of :|l<),uoo line i and "0 years' imprisonment. Being . adjudged guilty upon four counts, each defendant may be sentenced to SO years 1 in prison and to pay $40,0u0. In stitn. uiiiig up his argument Imwyer Jesse ; Fuller asked the Jury to acquit "these . Christian gentlemen, these ministers of ' the gospel, these footstep followers of 1 Jesus Christ." The eight convicted fol- 1 lowers of the "l'astor" Russell religious i sect are l>r. Joseph F. Rutherford, , Win. K. Van Ambiirgh, Hold. J. Martin, Fred II. Robinson, (Jeorgc H. 1 Fisher. Clayton J.

President Wilson has given his approval to the organization and training under the war department ol > a "Slavic legion" to be composed of Slavs. Jugo-Slavs, ('/echo-Slovenes and Poles in this country who are not subject to the draft and who volun- 1 teor for service. Tlie legion would serve with the American expeditionary force or with tin- allies' forces as ttie president ma> determine. Organ- ' ' "'Oil,, hi units ot the American army of nit'ii in America belonging t?> tin o|t|irfss*'il riitvs of tin- Auslro-Hungarian ami German empires long lias Ih'i'Ii urged l?y Slav lead* rs in tin- 1 I'nited States. It*-centl> Senatoi Hitchcock, iih-iiiImt of tin- setiat* military committee. proposed an amendment to tin- $1 2.muo.ouo.?imi army appropriation l>ill providing for a "Slavic legion." ami after tin- president had written hint approving tin plan th*' amendment was attached to the measure l>\ the senate military sub-committee. A force of several thousand Slavs recruit* <1 in this eountry and t'anada under tin- dimetion of iKiiaee Jan I'aderewski recently entered the lighting line in France. 'I'll* legion was organized sis a unit separate from the armies of any of th* nations lighting th* CVntrsil |*ow*rs ami Slav le;id?-rs have insist*-*! that many thousands of Slavs and l'ol*-s in America would volunteer for service ai;;iilist their hereditary enemies if the organization was made part **f America's lighting forc?-s. Sensitor Hitchcock's amendment sets no limit to the size ot the force to In- raise*!. ? Nine hundred thousand men have been shipped across the sea. General March told newspaper correspondents at the weekly conference Saturday. These include the troops shipped from all American ports of embarkation The I'llited States is now five nunths ahead of its programme for placing ail army in France. Gen. March said. , rnv iigurcs on American uw|i smpiiients are siiKnltli'iuit since Gen. March at his tlrst conference the previous week tixe?l the nunil>er shlp|>ed at morv than SOC,000 in addition to inu.ouo during the week showing tin- rate of progress that is being made. While the hattle situation looks good now. Gencral March said: "The present lull on the western front means only that German combat divisions are being reformed for another drive. Viewing the whole situation, including the Italian front, the chief of staff ^said that the Central Powers were 3-ain , held on all fronts. American t?jps have done well wherever the tet of battle has come thus far. Gen. >*: h said, regardless of the character (T .-o troops, whether regulars. natio..M guard, national army o~ marines. The tight at Cantlgny. the most important engagement in which American troops have participated because of the opportui.ity it gave to judge ot the lull measure of their training." he said, "had been fought by the First division, commanded by .VaJ. General Robert 1* Hullard. This divition is now a thoroughly trained, high grade unit, and it was the tlrst American division to reach France." ? Private James Donahue of Buffalo. N. Y.. the tlrst American prisoner to escape from the Germans and re-enter the American lines, declared that for several days during his captivity he was subjected to cruelths and indignities by German oftlce.-s. non-commissioned officers and privates. Donahue does not believe the Germans are in- ; .1 1 ?... ,1,. XTi I; tr. pldfa ? but s?ays that every one in Germany hates the Americans and all art^ eager f to smash the I'nitod States army. He t told the following story last week: "I t attacked with our boys and ran into a ? lot of Frttzes. One of them hit me on < the head with his rifle butt and when I * recovered consciousness he took mc si before an officer. Every one I passed ' along the road kicked. Jeered and even ! spat at me. The officer asked me how 1 many divisions we had over here. I < said thirty. He didn't believe me. A 1 guard watched me all night long. At ' daybreak he gave me an axe and without breakfast I had to cut a brush that ' was to serve as camouflage for machine guns. I was working close to t the front lines and American machine ' gun bullets whistled past me for fair. 1 I had to work all night. When I tried to sleep the guard kicked me and I'd resume mv brush cutting. I saw three 3 Germans disguised In American uni- 1 forma Finally the guards gave me s black bread and thin soup; I couldn't s ;et any coffee. Afterwards I dug i.uil renehes to bury Hermans?two and piji, hree deep rows. Finally, one night 1 \j ouna my guard sleeping. 1 hit him ;.t >ver the head with my pick-axe.

The explained that the family had irft-n away from the Philippines for a number of years, and had spent quite a while in Spain.

She seemed , lo ieel very much huit at the comm?n American idea that the Filipinos ip savages, explaining that the peo- . pie over there are just like they are here, highly civilized in the larger enters of population with some saviges in tiie far off islands, just a.< it used to l?e with the American Indians. 1 She said that Aguinaido had gone out of (Kilitics and was devoting himself to literarj pursuits, that many I Filipinos are volunteering for service against the Germans and that therewas pi id*- in America and the Ameri can cause. They appeared to be very much pleased at lieing subjects of interest, and were exceedingly courteous throughout the interview. W? sj? nt several hours each in the Corcoran Art Gallery. the Smithsonian Institution and the Pan American building: but I shall not go into details as to these for lack of space. Saturday afternoon we walked over to i the "Klipse," or White House park, the play ground of the Washingtonians, over between the White House and the Washington monument. The "Klipse" is a great held of five or six at res in the center of what is known as tie executive grounds, some thirty-live acres in extent. There were thousands of people on the grounds, some listening to u marine hand and others watching several games of foot hall between de|?rtmental teams. Tile Klipse is a delightful spot, suri Minded by driveways , passing t rough lanes of trees, and although Mere are frequent signs of warning against trespassing, nobody pays un\ : ; tent ion to sueh. But with it all, the l.lipse is covered with a beautiful ?.irpet of green. They are selling war stamps everyla-re in Washington, on the streets, i i the lobbies of the hotels and pubbe buildings, the union station and ; : 'most everywhere. They have gone at it on an elaborate scale. All along ! eiinsyIvania avenue and other important streets are unii|iie hootlis in the form of gigantic high explosive sta lls. They are circular in form. bout four feet in diameter and ten or twdvf feet high. The nose of the shell is painted black and the base is striped with American colors. W. S. S. is the sign that explains the iiieiining of these booths. There are probably hundreds of thein and each one of them is presided over by two or three ladies who do not fail to urge the purchase of thrift and war savings stamps on all passers by. In most cases when they ask you to buy war stanips, you've either got to buy or give a good reason why not. I told a man that I "had bought." "Ituy some more!" lie replied. "I have al ready bought all I can pay lor ami limn koiiic," I replied. "All right, then, yet others to l>ny," he persisted. ? ?* You've got to pay for things to eat ia Washington. (ioiiernlly they are profiteering on Hooverisin. They give .-on small portions of everything and ?hargc liiyc prices. Mam and eggs, i offee and bread for two cost $1.2u at a Child's restaurant. Before the war the price would have been a I tout 70 cents. At one place we got two orts of "Yankee bean soup," two ord is of soft shell crabs, two orders of sliced tomatoes, two orders of eel lor \ and two cups of coffee for $ 1 .CO. Bread was furnished without charge. That was reasonable. At most places, howevi r, the idea scents to lie to "make 'em pay for it." ? Coining down from Washington Saturday night I met young Tennant from Chester, a sailor boy who went down on the ('resident Lincoln .tor^ pedoed by the tierinans in mid-oce t?j ".ye?''! lb, 17 I . \ , enty-one years oltT voSv < o., M'flie navy shortly after the nin- oul js a v,,rv bright young ieilow and is now an engineer's yeoman, unite an iinjiortant and distinctive position attained by a landsman in such a short time, lie told of his experiences on the torpedoed ship, how he was thrown into the water, how lie held to a raft and how his leg was bruised when the raft struck up : against a boat in the rough sea. He told how the struggling boys in the water were lighting mad and not si;iit'll a bit, how a number of them \mii- drowned anil how all of them villi' expecting to be shot by thr Germans out of pure wantonness. There was no braggadocio ubout him: but his enthusiasm was something wonderful. Ho said ho wishod th? war was ovfr: but ho could not think 1 nf turning loose until the Germans are whipped out of their hoots, which event, be said, will as surely come to ' pass as the rising; and setting of the sun. He is wonderfully proud of the 1'nileil States navy, insisting that It is far superior to the Hritish navy, man for man. ship for ship, navy for navy, or any other old way. He says the American and Hritish sailors cannot get along with each other even a little bit except at the business of lighting Germans. He would not be lindi rstood as saying that they hate each other or anything of that kind; but if you put them on shore leave togcthi r. they are sure to fight. He gave the impression that it was beeanse the Hritish made the Americans tired by their bo; is ted supremacy. while the American has not got the slightest doubt of his own superiority over any of them. There is no friction between the Americans 1 and tlit Trench, and maybe it is l?e' cause the Trench actually believe that the Americans are snfKTior to any other jieople on earth and do not mind sjiying so. Young Tennant has about fifteen days to sfiend with his father down a few miles south of Chester, and then he will be assignee) to another ship. Asked as to how America is getting along with ship building, he is at once stirred to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and he declares. 'Why. tnan we are just covering the ocean." ? The train on which we came back from Washington killed a white man in Xorth Charlotte early Sunday morning. It was not known who he was. The trainmen covered the body with newspapers while they went into town and reported the circumstance to the authorities. Hut it must not be understood that they were indifferent. On the contrary, the conductor, engineer, firemen and all the others seemed to he very de? ply moved b> the tragedy. The unfortunate mar. whoever he was. had attempted to cross the track In front of the orjcino. At dawn this morning, says an Associated I'ress dispatch of Friday \nierican troops stormed Herman tivnches and machine gun nests in front of t'antigny. In the Montdidier sector. Those ot the Oerman garrison who remained to tight and carrj out their orders to hold the position at any cost were killed by rifle and machine gun Are and by bayonet. The Americans also took prisoners. Th< Vmericun artillery put down a heavy box barrage on the rear of the enemy I>ositions. A few minutes later the infantry swarmed over the top and rushed the trenches. Some of the (brmans had tried to escafie through the barrage, crashing to their rear, hut few of them got through. Prisoners captured declare they had orders to hold on at all costs, and this was apjmrent by the desperate manner in which they fought. The liattle was short, but deadly, for the enemy jiositions were swept clean of derma ns. The official report says that a j great many dertnans were killed. ? Washington special of June 20 to the Columbia State: B. L.

One of the letters is dated April 17 and the other April 22. Itoth are postmarked 1 Lis tatt. Haden. The doctor appears to be getting along quite comfortably and is hoping to be exchanged within a few months. The lelteis follow: April 17.?I can imagine the consternation at home when you learn I am a prisoner of war. and I am so sorry to lie the cause of so much worry. 1 am |>erfectly alright, so you ntfj not worry at all. Of course it isn't much fun being a prisoner, but worse things could have happened, so we should be thnnkful. I was captured on April loth at the place from which I last wrote you. It all happened in a hurry. 1 am at a big camp for officers and know lots of them, so I am not lonesome. Several U. S. doctors are here that 1 have met before and nsinbcrs of officers from cur div isioit. We have been treated nicely. I was taken n part of the way from the front in a big auto, and then had a five daya' train journey through Belgium and Germany, stopping at Ghent. Brussels. Luxemburg and Metz before arriving here at Rastatt. I could almost imagine myself a Cook'* tourist if it had not been for the omnipresent guards. We were the center of attraction everywhere we went. It really was a funny experience, even if it was serious. The only trouble is the lack of clothes. Of course I had nothing with me when caught, and no way to get anything. I believe the Red' Cross sends us things v> will get fixed up later. Don't try to send anything as I won't stay long at this camp. Being a doctor I will be sent back to my own army sooner or later. In the meantime I will make myself as comfortable as possible and wait. I only hope that you won't worry and will hear from me alright. The weather is fine now. which is a consolation.' Hope evetT one keeps well and happy, and don't worry. Would like to know about Garnett and others. Lots of love to all. April 22nd.?Am well and contented wi:h my lot. My only worry is that you are uneasy about me. when you need not be. We art leading a quiet life here?reading, eating and sleeping?quite a change from what we have been having. Will be transferred to France in two or three months we are told. A number of doctors here. Hope all are well and will keep so. All will be well in the end. so don't worry. Love to all. PHILIP.

The show was on its way t to Hammond for exhibition on Satur- s day and had been stalled at a siding t on account of a hot box. An empty e troop train of cars, mostly I 'till- t mans, running at high stn-id, ran into . the nar of the circus train and split four sleeping cars and a day conch into kindling wood. More than fifty to people lost their lives In the wreck. 1 many being killeil by the collision and J others losing their lives by the fire r wfilch started in the wreckage and de- r stroved the train and its freight, in- I eluding paraphernalia, horses, ani- f m,ils, etc. The engineer and fireman ?1 of the troop train have been arrested s on charges of manslaughter. d As to just what it wants with them to has not been stated, but it is a fact t that the war department at Wash- e ington wants dogs?lots of dogs?as i" many dogs of the stray variety, and a some others, as it can get. for some g experimental work in France. Cur f dogs are specified, but almost any e kind of dog is cur when It belongs to y no one and has to rustle for its own living. The secretary of the WinstonSnfem. N.

Will he j* able to handle at least one hundred ^ logs per week. Will send crates at ^ your order." It is unite likely that ? there are lots of dogs in York county that would fill all requirements and a there is no i nd of jicople who would lie pleased to know that some of " York county's surplus of curs were J' doing valiant service in the war '> against the Hun. 61 d INCIDENTS OF THE DRAFT In a short address to the draftees H in the courthouse Sunday afternoon.
