The Most High's Fifth Drive for Victory The Most High yesterday launched his fifth drive to take Paris and the channel ports and incidentally to fertilize French soil with the bodies of his dead soldiers. Four times this year, the Most High and his war lords have wooed the goddess of Victory with poison gas, high explosive shells and shrapnel, only to be rejected and sent home with bloody heads. Re-vivified and animated, the apostles of ruthlessness are again pressing the suit. On a sixty mile front, large calibre guns are trying to blast a hole through the allied line. American troops at Chateau Thierry received the first blow of the gigantic thrust on which his Most High has staked his throne and the fortunes of his country. Early press reports show that the Americans have lived up to the traditions of their country and taken a heavy toll of Hun lives. Elsewhere on that far flung battle line from the North Sea to the Alps the defenders of civilization are imbued with the spirit of the French at Verdun, "They shall not pass." "They shall not pass" was the battle cry that rallied the Allies four times this year. When the Most High launched his first and strongest attack toward Amiens, he paid for his 35 mils gain with so miny casualties that he could not get very far when he made his second attack at Ypres. The third attack, in the Champagne, made with fresh troops released from the Russian front, netted 32 miles and a heavy death list. The fourth was insignificant in comparison with first and third. The fifth is now under way. The resumption of the German offensive comes as a relief. Every one expected the Most High to offer more cannon fodder to the guns of the Allies. In the first. place, he gained numerous positions in his last four drives from which he could renew his attacks after his divisions had recuperated from their early effort. And again, internal conditions in Germany and in the army demand that he show results for the thousands that lie buried in French soil. The morale of no people can long stand the drains of men that have been sent into oblivion by the Allies. The increasing strength of the American army is another factor that the Most High could not deny. Every day of delay in sending forward his troops meant increasing power of resistance from the Allies and ultimately the presence of an irresistible American army. Hence, he was forced to renew the issue. Every military critic expects the enemy to make gains in the new offensive. They have conceded that from the very start. But the price he must pay, coupled with the all important fact that he will not.be able to grasp an objective that will interfere with the allied plan of campaign, make his gains negligible in the final reckoning. The surprise element which accounted for his gains early this year is lacking. Gen. Foch has had time to place reserves at strategic advantage and also has had leisure to devise a method of meeting the new form of infantry attack which the Most High used with success in the other thrusts. So far the fifth desire of the Potsdam gang to butcher Huns finds the Allies undismayed.

Digging Out Draft Slackers Slackers, slickers and Hun sympathizers are having their troubles in Brooklyn, Indianapolis and Chicago these days. The Brooklyn Vigilance Corps of the American Defense society is not taking for granted that young men seeking exemption or deferred classification are telling the full truth in their affidavits, so the society aids the selective service board by investigating the claims these draft evaders make. One young man claimed exemption on the ground that he supported his parents, but a member of the society learned that the father recently gave the young man an automobile that cost $1600. Well, how long did it take to put him in Class 1 where he belongs ? The draft board acted without delay. Ahother young man stretched the truth slightly in his affidavits regarding dependents lie allegedly was supporting. Investigation

showed that the dependents were amply able to take care of themselves, and so he was put into Class 1 and sent to a cantonment with a current quota. Here is one of the slogans of the society: "Too many draft dodgers are escaping service, and by so doing are sending Brooklyn's best sons to bear the brunt and possibly die that the slackers may live in ease." That slogan tells a mighty big truth which every slacker might apply to himself with profit. Every time he tells a falsehood or conceals the truth in a petition for exemption or deferred classification, he is sending a man to death in his place. Little sympathy should be accorded a man who stoops to this low form of evasion. He deserves -the contempt of his associates and should be inducted into military service without delay. Most of the draft boards, the one in Richmond included, do not have time to investigate carefully the claims set out in the affidavits of men petitioning for deferred classification or exemption. A vigilance committee can do good service for the community by assisting the board in ferreting out the young men who parade the streets in security while the men who had to take their places in the army are "bearing the brunt." A sudden interest in the affidavits filed with any draft board in the United States might make some of the slackers quake and decide at once that the grounds upon which they obtained their exemptions and deferred classifications no longer exist. There's just one way of smoking out some of these young men and that's by the vigorous co-operation of citizens with the draft boards. The Indianapolis News in yesterday's issue, trenchantly remarked: "It will probably not be possible to depend wholly on the men in every case to keep the government acquainted with changes in their status which would involve earlier induction into the army. Raids like that of Saturday night will accomplish good in helping to quicken the conscience of registrants in that respect as well as in uncovering cases of slacking. Every man misclassified means that another who can less easily

POTATO BLIGHT .MAY GUT CROP IN THE COUNTY

State Representative Urges Immediate Sfeps to Eliminate the Danger. Potato blight will seriously reduce the potato crop In Wayne county and the state unless measures are taken immediately to eliminate it according to J. J. Miliiaus, representing the state entomologist. Mr. Milhaus was in Richmond Tuesday following an Inspection of potatoes in several parts of Wayne county. The 40-acre potato patch at the Eastern Hospital for the Insane is one of the best patches in Indiana, according to Mr. Hllhaus. It is almost entirely free from blight. Steps should be taken at once to eliminate the blight Mr. Milhaus said, if half of the crop is to be saved. The potatoes, unaffected by the blight, are only partially affected should be sprayed with bordeaux mixture to prevent tVlc fiirtTusr cnronil

covered with the blight as it is too late to save them, according to Mr. Milhaus. -

be spared will go ahead of his turn. "Like roundups will be conducted from time to time, as they should be. There are still many deliberate slackers at liberty. The only way any considerable proportion of them can be caught is through general action as taken recently in Chicago, Indianapolis and other cities. The raids, too, can be made of considerable assistance to the local draft boards in enforcing the work-or-fight order. It is almost impossible for the boards to keep an eye continually on each of the men under their jurisdiction. After Saturday's experience it should no longer be necessary to warn many of the local registrants to carry their registration and classification cards with them. They can save trouble and annoyance for both the police and the registrant."

Disloyalty in the '60s From, the Kansas City Star. EX-SPEAKER Joseph G. Cannon, in an interview in the Saturday Evening Post, tells amazing facts about disloyalty in certain Northern states, particularly Illinois, in the Civil War. Mr. Cannon says that in Illinois alone there were reputed to be 85,000 members of disloyal societies "copperheads" but in spite of that fact the state sent 260,000 men, 15 per cent of its population, into the Union army. I Illinois were to contribute in the same proportion in this war she would send 1,100,000 men to the colors. An excerpt from the interview follows: The rituals and oaths of these orders of knights now read like extravagant satires on American democracy. That so many men should join these orders, form "castles" in the woods and on the lonely prairies, take oaths which no pormal man could read and understand without laughing at their farcical absurdities and go through formalities as ridiculous as the performances ol' Don Quixote, now seems beyond the realm of ordinary intelligence and common sense; but when to this travesty on medieval knight-errantry is added the sinister purpose of the men who organized, directed and controlled such an army of deluded men, they presented the most defiant demonstration of treason the country has ever known. These modern knights were sworn to encourage and aid Union soldiers to desert; to discourage enlistment; to circulate treasonable literature; to furnish intelligence to the enemy; to aid the enemy by recruiting for his army within the Union lines; to destroy government property and the property of loyal citizens; to assassinate soldiers and citizens; to release the Confederate prisoners at Chicago, Springfield and Indianapolis; to cooperate with Confederate agents in Canada to overthrow the existing governments in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois; and to organize a Northwest Confederacy which should unite with the Southern Confederacy to destroy the national government. Such organizations today would be intolerable and Impossible, but they existed at the time

of the Civil War, and they were seriously considered as

an aid to their cause by the Confederate leaders; for

Jefferson Davis sent Jacob Thompson as his agent to

Canada to counsel and co-operate with the leaders of these disloyal organizations within the United States.

FALLS IN CISTERN

OXFORD, O., July 16. Mrs. James S. Hughes, wife of Mayor Hughes, had a narrow escape from drowning yesterday. While walking in . the yard of property adjoining the Green Tree Inn, of which Mayor Hughes is proprietor, she stepped upon the rotten covering of a cistern and was precipi

tated into water nearly covering her head. She was compelled to stand on

tiptoe to keep her nose and mouth above water until help arrived.

Mrs. Carico. a middle-aced and talk

ative ruralist, was appearing in a suit brought by her husband. She insisted on loudly commenting on each answer given by the first witness. Repeatedly the judge requested her to keep quiet, but she persisted in audibly disputing the words of the witness. Finally the judge said: Mrs, Carico, the court demands that you keep quiet. Unless you do so you will be held in contempt." Giving the judge a savage look, the woman turned to her attorney and vociferously inquired: "Who is that old guy who keeps buttin' in all the time?"

Everyone knew ,that Lieutenant Thorliegh and his pretty young wife had failed to agree during their few years of married life, but no one quite liked to ask him where she was living during his last months of training in thi3 country. So when an innocent new comer inquired point-blank where she was, there was a rather intense moment before he said, calmly: "My wife is in France." "Vhat is she doing?" was demanded further. "Fighting," he answered, calmly. "Fighting!" everyone exclaimed. "Well," ho replied, "perhaps she isn't actually fighting, but I'm sure she's quarreling."

DIES AT HOSPITAL.

EATON, O., July 16. Henry Her, 74 years of age, died, Sunday in a hospital in Dayton, following his removal to the institution a few days before from his home four miles east of Eaton. Funeral and burial took place Tuesday afternoon. One son, three step-sons and one step-daughter survive.

Ask Richmond Girls to Sell Flowers for Belgian A letter has been received from Major Leon Osterrieth, a member of the Belgian Military Commission, by Secretary Ullman, of the Richmond Commercial Club, asking that an organization of women or young girls take it upon themselves to sell a flower for the benefit of the Belgian babies. The flower that has been chosen is the forget-me-not.. It was chosen by the Queen of Belgium. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is a patroness. The funds that will be collected are to be sent directly to Washington. Mr. Ullman said that he hoped the matter will be taken up by the Camp Fire Girls.

5 DRAFTEES APPLY FQR AIRGRAFT WORK

Five men have made application with the Richmond selective service board, for voluntary induction under a recent call for men to be sent to Vancouver Barracks, Washington, to assist in airplane production in the northwest woods. The men were Frank Townsend, Charles Starr, Arthur Miller, Cecil Maley and Frank Schmedinghoff. The call was issued for crosscut saw filers, band filers and circular saw filers. Men qualified and experienced in this work may apply with the Richmond beard until Tuesday, July 23, after which time no further applications will be received. Only men in deferred classification and qualified for limited service, will be Inducted under this call. As the state's entire quota is only 77 men it is certain that Wayne county will have more volunteers than the quota alloted to it, with the five men who have already applied for service.

Soap should he used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which

is pure and greaseless), and is better

than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfi's will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv.
