JOIN THE ARMY
DAII.AS, Tex., April 11. •- While
some exemption boards have been
weighing the claims of objectors to
military services who had revived long
forgotten dependents, at least two
Texans willing to seive have received
honorable discharges because the ar
my decided it would put too great a
strain on the United States Govern
i ment to keep then* in shoes.
The recruits recently were dis
1 charged from Camp Travis at San,
An'onio because of the high price of j
leather. Both were negroes from the |
| Texas bottoms and l*oth were valiant !
; in th ‘ir wishes to “get” the German i
Emperor. If either could have step
ix*d on him, it would have ended the
i war. Each would have worn shoes
number lf> if the army could have sup
plied them. It was estimated that
shoes would have to be made to order j
for them at a cost of $-0 a pair ami ;
so they were sent back to the farms.
Some of the exemption claims have
■ rKH‘n freakish. In Dallas, a tcarfid
| claimant pictured the suffering of his ,
grandmother if his suppoit were re- ]
iuovco. An investigation proved she |
Kid been dead twenty years, and in j
i Jhe opinion of the hoard members, it j
was the first time the objector had ;

| inp camp customs are becoming fandl-!
iav to persons in all parts of the state
and the “conscientious objector” j
knows be is sure of a safe, if not
ihvory. job with the kitchen police.
A Dallas negro, suspicious of the
virtue of written claims, took his evi

the board, he herded in seven children

willingness to serve in the army if the j
board would promise to take care of

Another Dallas man asked the board
members to read a packet of love let

SUDDEN CHANGE
OVER PEACE IS
SHOWNBYHUNS
LONDON, April U. — (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press). —~
Symptoms regardod in some quarters
here as indicating 'that the German
Government is preparing the public
for some change of front on the Al
sace-Lorraine question are found in
some of the German newspapers.
Maximilian Harden recently launched
the first suggestion of this in his Zu
kunft and his condemnation of the
traditional German attitude was neith
er censored nor challenged. Professor
Deibrueck followed in the same strain
in one ol the leading reviews, apr *•.
ently feeling out the public pulse.
As there was still no serious reac
tion, another leading publicist, profes
sor Mart>n Fassbender, has juat ad kd
another contribution along the s^mc
line, which is particularly significant
owing to the fact that Fassbender is
a close personal friend of the Germau
hlmperor, and lias often been spoken
of in Lie list of “private advisors."
Professor Fassbender’s article ap
pears in the Deutsche Politik. It says
in part:
“The French base then claims to
Alsace on the fact that the Alsatians
are attached in their hearts to France,
fhis unfortunately is only too tiue.
The reproach levelled at us, that we
do not understand how to assimilate
• opquered territori^ is well founded,
and it is a phenomenon which merits j
our best attention.
in 1651* Colbert wrote to his brother, j
the first Administrator of Aisace, ex
horting him to treat the Alsatians!
rotter than the inhaoitants of Go*-!
many wero treated by their rulers. .\t i
’he same time he uiged the clergy to
use their influence 10 induce the Al
>atians to become good Frenchman. |
The consequence was that in 1675
A’hen the- German troops entered Al-!
sace, they met not only with complete
indifference, but active hostility on the
part of the inhabitants of that prov
ince.
“With us Germans, an administra-,
lion of such nature is impossible. 0 irs ;
is a regime which admits of no j
change. Hence, when the functiona
ries of such a regime treat the inhab
itants badly, it is difficult to conciliate
thc*m and even more difficult to assimi
late them.
“That is why Alsace-Lorraine will
always remain an open sore in the
Geiman body politic.*'

George Sexton, just to attempt to

Spring is here, took the hammer this
