IIOIIENZOLLERNS MUST GO, SAYS SWISS SOCIALIST Day of Autocracy Has Ended in Europe Declares Jean Sigg. GENEVA, Aug. 6. (Correspondence) "The Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs must go in order to have a durable peace in Europe," declared Jean Sigg, member of the Swiss National Council, chief of the Socialists In Geneva and one of the most influential members of his party in Switzerland, in an Interview with The Associated Press correspondent. "The hour of the Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs has sounded," he continued. "The tide of democracy

which is sweeping across Europe will

also sweep them away, not perhaps during the war, but soon afterward. Millions of men will not agree, will not allow in future, that their destinies, their lives, should, be ruled by a handful of autocrats. In this eense this terrible war has wrought good; it has opened the eyes of the

people. The Russian emperor has

gone, more emperors will follow." Has Faith in Russia

Mr. Sigg has the greatest faith In new Russia, if allowed to rebuild its own regeneration without foreign, es

pecially German influence. He con

siders the Stockholm Conference

more or less a farce owing to the di

vergent views of the socialist delegates from the different countries. He flouts the work at Petrograd of Robera Grimm, the Swiss Socialist who endeavored to make peace between Germany and Russia, who, he says, never represented Swiss socialism and who acter like Hoffman on bis own authority without consulting his colleagues." "German socialists, with few exceptions," 6aid Mr. Sigg, have betrayed international socialism by following

like a flock of sheep In the footsteps of German Junkerism, but they are now beginning to awake from their false dream. "Though, like all Swiss, I ardently wish for peace, I don't see it in sight. A peace treaty now I say this as a neutral would be all in the favor of Germany,a status quo ante. The Allies, backed now by America, rightly will not permit this in the cause of justice and humanity. The social questions after the war will be difficult to solve but wait first until the war is finished."

"1 Love the U.S. A. So Well Id Rather Stay at Home"

Here are the impressions gathered by a New York reporter at an exemption board hearing, and as recorded in the New York World: Scene: Any exemption board headquarters. Time Yesterday. DRAMATIS PERSONAE: Doctors, chairman of the board, clerks, young men with and without clothes and newspaper reporters. TITLE: I Love the U. S. A. So Well I'd Rather Stay at Home. FIRST YOUNG MAN This war is a terrible thing. I am losing a day's work just to come over here and get exempted from the army. SECOND YOUNG MAN The government don't know nothing and it don't do nothing right. Lookit all the bother it is putting me to, and me suffering with a dislocated wrist that the medical professors in the country have been worrying about for two years. And none of 'em can fix it. And, besides, me with a weak heart. FIRST YOUNG MAN I have a family to support and FIRST NEWSPAPER REPORTER How many in your family. FIRST YOUNG MAN Just a wife so far, but I guess something terrible would happen to her if I should go to war. I would be anxious to go if it wasn't for her. FIRST NEWSPAPER REPORTER How long have you been married? FIRST YOUNG MAN I have only been married three weeks, but (Doctors, reporters, etc, laugh.) FIRST YOUNG MAN But I was planning to marry for two years. Lookit (he reaches his hand into the pockets of his trousers Just discarded and fishes out some papers). Here's my receipts for furniture to prove I was going to be married, anyway. SECOND YOUNG MAN Well, maybe you was, maybe you was. But nobody can say anything criticising about me. Nobody can say I went and dislocated my wrist two years ago Just to keep from being a soldier. (To a doctor) Have I been in a hospital? Oh, yes, sir. With my weak heart I mean my dislocated wrist But my heart is weak, although I never have had to really go to bed with it yet. DOCTOR (writing) You are 6ure your liver isn't yellow, aren't you? THIRD YOUNG MEN (beginning to shuck his clothes) It's sort of foolish for me to be going through this examination. I tried every way to enlist. I was dying to enlist and am yet. But I always got turned down on account of my eyes. They are dim or something. DOCTOR It seems to me there are a lot of you fellows. And it also seems to me we will look you over, anyhow. FOURTH YOUNG MAN (Wearing thick eyeglasses, stoop-shouldered, pigeon-chested, flat-footed, pot-bellied, etc., speaks in a weak and somewhat falsetto voice) I won't claim exemption, doctor. I think it is every man's duty to serve his country. I will be glad to do my bit, doctor. DOCTOR (wearily, to reporters) Blank dash it Can you beat It? It seems as if those big huskies no sooner poke their heads inside the door than they want to know where they can file claims of exemption. Ani those chaps that haven't a chance to pass the examinations all seem to want to fight. It is over my head. FIRST VOICE (outside) I wonder if they think I haven't got anything to do but stand around here all day. A rotten system this is. SECOND VOICE They don't know what they are doing. They tell you to come around at 9 o'clock in the morning, and somewhere around midnight they tell you to come around again the next day. You would think a man didn't have anything else to do. SEVERAL VOICES IN CHORUS Blank dash it! CHAIRMAN OF BOARD Where are those cards? Why is everything all mixed up around here? Why can't anything go right? Where are those

exemption blanks? My God. will we ever get an army? FIFTH YOUNG MAN If you will Just shoot me through the exams I'll do my bit and glad of it - SIXTH. SEVENTH AND EIGHTH YOUNG MEN (chorus) Here too. FIFTH YOUNG MAN That sounds better. Why don't you give us a whack at the examinations and let us go? The you can have the clinic all to yourself. DOCTOR (stepping forward briskly) That's fine. I am proud of you men. (To first one). Just take a deep breath now. You are the sort that makes one proud to be a citizen of the United States. FIRST NEWSPAPER REPORTER I say, would you chaps who are anxious to go through with it and not claim exemption mind giving your names? (Reporters gather around and write and ask questions.) POLICEMAN AT DOOR There is a lady outside says she is a" reporter and she wants to get some human interest stuff something with a laugh or a sob in it some real bit of life. CHAIRMAN Well, of course she can't come in here. POLICEMAN I told her that, sir, and she says the Government doesn't know anything and that "you don't, know anything, or else you would have had the men take off their clothes somewhere else, so she could be at the desk and ask questions. Anyway, she says she supposes she can think up better stuff to write than any one here could tell her. Chairman (to newspaper reporters who start to leave) You've all got my name, haven't you? Are you sure it is spelled correctly? Fine then. Everything is all right. CHAIRMAN I want to congratulate you men.

GOVERNOR ASKS BOYS TO HELP

By RICHARD, THE BOY REPORTER The following is an extract from a proclamation made by Governor Goodrich: I appeal to the virile young manhood of Indiana with the thought that every American boy at work opposes a boy in Germany and in all seriousness remind him that he is facing a man's job the burdens, hardship, and sacrifices which will increase as the war lengthens. In the same proclamation he asks certain men in each county to organize the Boys' Working Reserve for boys between sixteen and twenty-one who wish to work on farms and help the Allies win the war. The three Wayne County Recruiting offices are under the direct charge of Mr. Brammer. The headquarters is at the Y. M. C. A. and there are other offices at the West Fifth Street Fire House and on North Twenty-first and E street The Boy Scouts are going to camp at the three offices.

LEWIS TO COACH EARLHAM TEAMS

Final arrangements have been made for Attorney Walter O. Lewis, of Indiana University, to act as Athletic Director of Earlham College during the coming school year. Lewis coached the Quaker baseball team this spring and turned out a real fighting machine. He handled the team in such creditable manner that he was at once favorably considered to fill the vacancy left by Coach Whiteside. Lewis has had several years of experience in athletics both as player and as coach. He attended the state university from 1907 to 1914, and during that period of time played on the football, baseball and track teams, was assistant coach in football and baseball one year and during the summer months gave his time to professional baseball. Lewis turned out excellent freshmen football and baseball teams at Indiana University. It is known that some first class material is entering Earlham this fall and prospects look exceedingly bright for a successful year in athletics. Coach Lewis, at present, is Deputy Prosecuting Attorney at Richmond, but will arrange to take active charge of his work the opening day of school which comes on September 24th.
