WHO'S WHO AMONG THE PACIFISTS. II. LOUS P. LOCHS ER, (By Hlldeg-arde Hawthorne.) "Who." continued the Man Who Wants to Know. "Vho' thla Louis Lechner who w.ints us to make peace right off the bat. without waiting: to find who'll get the worst of It?" "He's a lot of things besides being one of these fierce pacifists that are ready to sacrifice a few little countries like France and England and Belgium and the U. S. A. to a nice German peace. Wrote a book once called Aggressive Pacifism. That must be the sort the Kaiser wants to get for himself." -What else has he been busy at?" "He used to direct a chorus of Germans at Madlaon. Wis. Called the Mannerchor. No. they don't seem to be singing together Just now. they are busy In other ways, very likely. Pacifists and German singers are not going around publicly together Just at present." "What's his real business?" "He talks. Talks for peace societies and founds clubs and secretaries, if I can coin a verb, for alumni associations out in Wisconsin." Does It keep him busy?" "Well, he took time oft to go on the Ford Peace Mission. But you don't see Ford's name coupled with his these days. Henry is helping our government, now we are fighting. But then Henry's father and mother were Americans, and much as he loves peace, he knows where to call a halt." "Weren't this Mr. Lochner's parents Americans?" "His father's name was Frederick Lochner and his mother's was Maria Von Haughnitr." "They sound like German names.'' "So they do. And when you think of it, this pacifist talk seems to have a German accent."
needed now Is that a large number of ladies take these kits, pay $1 for them and then deliver them to Company L. At the present time about seventy names have been handed in, and there are one hundred and sixty-two to be paid for, or about ninety-two names still needed.

WELL WORN W WILSO
By OEOEGE iCAMTOI ( United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON". Aug. IS. If you have pictured President Wilson careworn, haggard and breaking under the train of his tremendous war problems, change the portrait. It's 'way wrong. On one of his unannounced strolls from the White House to Secretary Baker's office in the State War and Nav- building he gave press men an opportunity for a good close-up of Woodrow Wilson in war mood. Swinging out from Baker's' room and
down the tiled corridor, the President

Just concluded a pleasant chat with an old crony about nothing in particular, than of a nation's leader who had just discussed a vital world problem whose solution he must find. Clad In snowy linen coat and trousers, a flat-topped, broad-brimmed straw hat set squarely on his head, the President moved at a brisk pace toward the stairway. There was spring in his step. His smile waa genial, his cheeks ruddy with the glow of health. Realizing the vital Importance of keeping himself lit. the President Is exceedingly careful to play with his work. Early every morning, long before most Washingtonlans are so much as turning over for their pre-getting-up nap, the President is out In his knickerbockers and off around the golf course. Mrs. Wilson usually accompanies him. A couple of hours later they may be seen rolling into the White House grounds in one of the big cars with the golden spread eagles in a circle on the door panels. Golf, walking and other mild forms of exercise take care of the President's physical health. For mental diversion and rest he turns from the problems of war to Intricate, complex and quite thrilling detective stories. Most of his newspaper reading is done for him by Secretary Tumulty. Thousands of papers from all over the country are carefully gone over for news of interest to the White House, and whatever Is deemed sufficiently important to bring in the President's personal attention he
gets in the form of pasted up clippins
at the proper time. He has cares and worries and burdens galore, has the President, but he isn't breaking down under them.

QUAKERS DECIDE TO GO TO JAIL Many of Faith Refusing to Report t Training Camps for Service. RICHMOND. Ind.. Aug. IS. Some Quakers will go to prison as their brothers in England have done. ratlyr than obey the order of Provost Marshal Crowder to report at the training camps for military service in a noncombatant capacity. This is the commentary of Walter Woodward, secretary of the five-year meeting of Friends' International Organization of Friends on the recent order of the provost marshal. Woodward believes an overwhelming majority of Quaker will obey, bjt says there are conscientious objectors who will go to prison rather than train for military service.
