the recent latter of instructions froai
the attorney general and tha 11 ret par
agraph of tha letter quo tea section
three, title one, of the espionage act,
which follows:
"Whoever, when the United States
la at war, shall willfully make or con
vey faulsa reports or statements with
intent to interfere with the operation
or succeaa of tha military or naval
forces of the United States or to pro
mote the succeaa of ita enemies and
whoever, when the United State* is at
war, shall willfully cause or attempt
to cause insubordination, disloyalty,
mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the mil
itary or naval forces of the United
States, or shall willfully obstruct tha
recruiting or enlistment service in the
United States, to the injury of the ser
vice or of the United States, shall be
punished by a tine of 'not more than
110,000 or imprisonment for not mora
than 20 years, or both."
It la a violation or tnis section to
obstruct willfully the recruiting and
enlistment in Mrvica of the United
States. The commissioners have been
advised by the district attorney that
it ia not necessary to show actual ob
structing of recruiting and enlist
ment; the advising of the resistance of
such recruiting and enlistment con
stitute* the offense. It is sufficient if
the thing said or the act done has a
legitimate and proximate tendency to
obstruct such service.
Any violation of section six of the
| selective scrvice act is classed as a
misdemeanor and the failure of those
certified under the act to mobilize
when called to service in the draft
army ia a matter that will be invwti
gated and tried by military authori
ties and are subject to court martial
investigation without the necessity of
warrants being issued for the offence.
Men who have shown an unwilling
ness to receive notices through the
mails calling attention to approaching
physical examinations had best be
ready to report for mohiliiation, it ia
stated, for the local board ia deter
mined that the rules &a prescribed in
the act shall be followed.

workers and all children 14 years and
over who intend working were asked
to call and bring proof of their ages.

_But no way of securing workers to
take the place of the several who will
be forced to quit because of the opera
tion of the Keating-Owen law has
been found. Four new hosiery mills
erected and in operation since the first
of January this causing a division in
the workers, and the fact that ell men
are workin and making good money,
this enables the women and children

Food C«um Wilt bo
Taken in Philippine.
Manila. Aug. 18.—A iltUilo! census
of the food supplies of the Philippine
inland* is to be taken at one* to de
termine what ground* there may be
for fears of a poutihle food shortage.
The food hoard recently appointed by
Governor Harrison ha* collected sta
tistics of all kind* of food staples in
the islands. and this report is now in
I the hand* of the chief executive.
An effort ia to be made to arouse
the entire Filipino people to the necea
aity for an intenae food cultivation
ram pa i rn. The government, particu
larly through the bureau of agricul
ture, ia to co-operate in every possible
way, furnishing seeds, technical advice
and government land wherever it ia
available. The city of Manila ha*
I turned over to the Woman'a club of
Manila areas in variooa parka and city
lands amounting to a quarter of a mil
lion square meters to be used for small
vegetables gardens to be cultivated by
pupils of the public schools and women
and children of the poorer Filipino
families. The city itself has planted
in Harrison park, the new public play
ground opened in honor of the present
governor generar, guinea grass which
ia to be used as fodder for the hun
dreds of horses employed in city work.
The bureau of education has isstjed
an urgent appeal to every school sup
erintendent and every school princi
pal to make an effort this year to
doable the production in the school
gardens of the archipelago. The
sailors from the commandeered Gar
man vessels who are now interned at
Bagui>, the mountain reeort of the
Philippines, have been given land la
which they will rai** vegetables, not
alone for their own maintenance but
for sale as well. Commanders of dif
ferent army posts scattered through
out the Philippines are making an ex
amination of the soil and ground in
their reservations with a view to uti
lizing every Inch for the production of
food.

them who are able to impart informa

way. Aa a denomination we have not
been faithful to thsss brethren. We
have let them severely and they have
been forced to make their way
through the darknaaa without oar
sympathy and h«lp. They are people
of many excellent trait* of character.
One of the remarkable thing* about
them ia their raapect for woman-hood.
The Lowry gang, the notorious out
law* that flouriahad aor some year*
shortly after the war committed many
out rages but never in.ultsd a woman.
Our people ought to pay more atten
tion to these Indian brothren and help
them In their strugsM to improve
; their moral conditions; and there ia no
I better way to do this than through
the grater efficiency of their church
life. The moral tone of their com
munity ia low, to be sure, but this ia
not at all surprising. What they need
is a new vision of the truth and duty.
The power of the gospel to uplift and
inspire them is their great hops.
The whits brethren hold in their hands
the vary blessing they need. Shall we
deny the lamp of life to them? The
next session of the Burnt Swamp as
sociation will be held with the Oak
