TWO SLACKERS ARL<
ADORNED IN YELLOW
AND PARADED AROt'tfl
Two local registrants, drafted'
with the rest of the 1917 class 1
men, of Scandinavian extraction
paying decided to turn in their first
papers rather than fight for the U*
nlt»» States, were taken by a mob
of men wearing the colors of the
drafted men yesterday uftenoon
and forced to head a parade. The
men, Ola' Jorgensen, of Sitka and
Arne John Sandvick, were decorat
ed wi'h yellow streamers over the
shoulders and across their chests,
placori's reading ••Slackers" were
placed.
They were marched to Newtown
and back thru the main streets to
Iudiantown then back to the Thom
as Dock. Here the drafted boys
o'fered them their choice of jumping
off tho dock or being ducketf. They
Jumpod.
Two of the drafted boy who were
ring-leaders in the parade last eve
ning stated today that many peo
ple were under a false impression.
Thej^ sa'd that since the two slack
era had been found at the Bong
home, it was rumored about town
that the Bong family had attempted
to shie'd them, l^is was not the
case they explained. On© of the
slackers, Sandvick, went to the
Bon* heme on an errand, and was
joinod there by Jorgensen, who went
to warn him of the intention Qf the
men to parade them. Thus it hap
pened that both the men were at
the Bong house when the men en
mass^ went in Newtown to search
/or them.
Ir. is also reported by the men
that 01® Moe, of the It Mine, who
is also one of the drafted men,
cannot be found, and that it is be
lieve ho is in hiding.—Progressive

STATEMENT OP
LORD ROBERT CECIL
Responding to an invitation to
Rivo pii exression off his views re
garding the significance of the
peo»l«- of England and her colonies
Lort' RoDort Cecil, Minister of
Blockade and Under Secretary for
Foreipu Affairs of Great Britain,
lias sent the following cablegram:
"You have asked me for a word
as to the significance of America's
Liberty Loans to our people over
here. I think their greatest signi
ficance is this:
"Nowhere today is this conlribu
tion b»iiig made on a mightier, seal*
than in the United States, through
tile greet Liberty Loan caampaigns.
Seventeen million Americans, sub
scribed tc the Third Liberty Loan. I
do not venture to predict the num
bers who will respond to the call of
th« Fourth Loan, but I am convinced
that the record of last Aflril will be
east r su massed.
"Here in England we are now
ralsine money by a continuous issue
oT '■•ads, and it is impossible, there
fore, to calculate the nun: ber of
separat. subscribers, though we
know that In the last four years the.
total amount subscribed comes to
more than 500 pounds ($2,500) per
head of our population at the out
break o* the war.
"One thing is certain; the A
maric' ns who buy Liberty Bonds
w'll De united, not only with each
other but with millions upon mil
lions o* Englishmen, Frenchmen and
Italians, in offering their resources
to a common cause—the cause of
freedom against oppression.
"This concentration off all our
resource# is essential to give us
specdv v'ctory, and the Fourth Lib
erty Loan la not only a re
newed call to all Amreicans,, but
an encouragement Ao the Allied pe
pies of Europe and a pledge given
>o 'lie future peac© and good will
o* humanity.
"The night is far spent; the day
is a* hand! Every dollar sub
scribed to the Liberty Loan brings
Po°c« a minute nearer."
\
Two Polntt of View.
"Errs nre coming my way and I'm
glad of it. I'm a dealer."
"Eggs are coming my way and 1'iB
Borry for it. I'm an actor."
