White County Wood Oust County Road Superintendent.

Monticello Democrat. The trial of Joseph V. Younger, who has sprved as county road supeif intendent since 1913, for alleged incompetency, set for trial Friday before the board- of county commissioners was postponed until today. The changes on which Mr. Younger is being tried, were preferred in 4 petition signed by Homer Dresbach and others, which stated that Mr. Yauniger was guilty of incompetency, malfeasance and neglect of duties, and asked that he be removed and his successor appointed. The specific example cited in the petition is the fact that in 1915 he recommended certain sums of money to be paid out of the free county road fund to C. W. Kent, assistant road superintendent, for work done, on the Charles E. Gay road. At the time the money was paid, it is claimed, the Gay road was not a free gravel or macadam road and had no right in the funds for that purpose. The Gay road was never fully established as a free county road, owing to legal contrdversy which took it through the courts. An additionia] complaint has been filed by others, which alleges that Y oungcr at one time recommended money to be paid out of the county fund for a street improvement in the town of Monon, which was not legally entitled to county funds and that in purchasing (gravel for road improvements he paid 75 cents a cubic yard when it could have been obtained for 50 or 60 cents. An answer to the accusation in the Gay road matter was filed. Mr. Younger denied the charges preferred by the petitioners. He stated that the Gay road from 0 to 80 had been accepted by the county commissioners ■as completed in December,. 1914, and that he had been directed to keep it repaird as such.

GREAT U-BOAT WAR THREATENS DISASTAR

German Submarines Are Greatest Menace to Allies—Tons of Foodstuffs Destroyed. That Germany’s submarine arm, not her military arm, is the menace which for the moment is greatest for the future welfare of . the United States and the entente allies, is recognized by the chancellories of all the powers which are at war with Germany. The last days of April saw the undersea .boats send to the bottom hundreds of thousands of tons of shipping, which means that huge quantities of ammunition and foodstuffs, the receipt of which would have greatly heartened Great Britain and France, have been irretrievably lost bo them and made the pinch of want to those countries, their soldiers and their people, more acute. These unseen monsters of the under seas from April 20 to April 27, had their share with mines in the sending beneath the waves, some of them unwarned and with tolls of death, thirty-eight British vessels of over 1,600 tons and thirteen others of less than 1,600 tons, the aggregate in each group being only two vessels less than the British admiralty reported the previous week when the high point in the sinking of British merchantmen Since the reports have 'been .issued was reached. Impetus is being given to the plans bo combat the menace by all the countries at war with Germany, and hopes are expressed that shortly a check may be put to the inroads of the submarines into commerce. The .military activities on all fronts in France and Belgium are still in a stage of apparent deadlock, but the big guns everywhere continue roaring b violent duels and doubtless new phases of infantry actions are developing. On none of the other fronts have there been engagements of great importance, although the British in Mesopotamia have driven forward their lines against the Turks and made captures of men, guns and stores, while the Turks have farced out the Russians from Mush, fin Turkish Armenia. The anticipated proffer of peace by the imperial German Chance 11 or will not be given to the reichstag Thursday, but will be withheld for a “more fitting occasion,” according to advices reaching Copenhagen. That peace is not uppermost in the minds of all German officials apparently is indicated by the address before the reichet its reopening session of Dr. Johannes Kaempf, president of the chamber, who asserted that the German people adhered to “the first beLif in Germany’s star and in a peace which will secure for all time the fatherland’s happy development.”

In the tenth inning, Williams’ muff of Cawwe’s fly, coupled with a pair of singles off of Vaughn. permitted Cinicinnati to score the only run of the day.

Military Training Camps Association.

Those who wish to qualify as officers in the new U. S. army will have an opportunity when the military training camp opens on May 14th at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis. Thus will be the first chance for men of suitable ability to enter the army with a grade befitting their merit. The three months course will cover, in “tabloid” form, the entire four years course of .practical military training given at West Point. At the end of the three months, those who have successfully completed the course of instruction and drill, will be given commissions in the officers reserve corps, from second lieutenant upward according to the demonstrated ability of the individual, and will then await the orders of the secretary of war. The camp is open to all citizens of good moral standing between the aiges of 20 years, 9 months and 44 years, and with the equivalent of a high school education. Men of mature years, with executive ability and the quality of leadership, are especdalyl diesired, although this preference does not by any means exclude the younger element. Previous military training and a college education are an advantage, but are not necessary. Physical examination will be required before the camp opens, but all mental examinations have been waived.

The three months’ course will constitute work and training of the most serious sort. The number of entrants has been limited to 2,500, and these will receive the close attention of U. S. aitny officers. Everyone who makes good is assured a commission. It is understood that the new officers, graduating freon the special training eamps, wiM immediately be put to wook officering and training the new army of 500,000 or 1,000,000 men to'be raised by act of congress. When an officer goes on duty, his salary starts. Salaries run from $1,700 for escond lieutenant to $3,000* for major, and ceriain extras are allowed by the government. 1 All transportation expenses to Ft. Harrison will be allowed by the government, and afll subsistence, arms and other equipment will be supplied. But, in the event the government is unable to furnish uniforms and shoes, the members of the camp will be asked to furnish these, for which the government 'will later reimburse them. The complete cost of uniform equipment, consisting of hat, shoes, two pair service breeches, two flannel shirts, leggings and coat, is 'between sls and S2O. Up to date no provision has been made for paying the members of the camp for their services during the three months tracninig, but it is understood that a conference between the war department and the house committee on military affairs has resulted in an agreement to attach a rider to the army appropriation bill to provide for compensation. The military training caimps association is bending every effort toward having this amount set at SIOO per month.

Applicants may express a preference for the branch of the service they desire, and so flair as passible this preference will be respected, although the right is reserved to put any officer in the branch of the service to which he is 'best fitted. For the first month the entire camp be drilled as infantry, but at the. beginning of the second month it will be divided into infantry, cavalry, artillery and engineering corps. Enlisted mein in the militia may make application for this camp, but they should make sure of their ability to obtain a discharge from the national guard in case they are accepted. Commissioned officers of the national guard are not eligibly. The limitation of the membership to 2,500 makes it advisable far these who wish to enter the camp to make application by mail at once. Application blanks may 'be obtained by writing to Blythe Q. Hendricks, Secretary Indiana Division, Military Training Camps Assn., 517 Fletcher Trust Bldg., Indianapolis. The lists will be closed as soon as 2.600 applications have been acted upon favorably.

Pine Village Section Laborer Gets In Bad.

Pine Village, Ind., April 27.—A state, of excitement existed here last Thursday night when it became known that a section Laborer named Hudson, had been making alleged threatening remarks against President Wilson. It was ch ciliated about town that Hudson had said “President Wilson ought ■to be shot through the heart; had ought to be assassinated.” The story so incensed the loyal residents that a posse was formed and headed by Olaiie Rhode, manager of the famous Pine Village football team, marched to the house where Hudson is Staying and surrounded it. The sheriff Of Warren county was then called from Williamsport. The sheriff and Mr. Rhode held an interview with Hudson. The man was raised in Kentucky and is without education. It was found that because of has ignorance he should be-excused but was warned that more remarks such as he te alleged to have made would not be tolerated. Hudson 'has been working on the section of the C. & E I. railroad and is laving with a family named Partins. The Pine Village episode is only one of the many that are happening over the country every day. One day last week Judge Anderson in the federal court at Indianapolis fined an American citizen of German descent, $5,000 and sentenced him to the penitentiary for one year for threatening the life of the president.
