ders Train Crews, Says As
sistant Attorney General.
Jackson, Miss., May 2. Organized
violence of Industrial Workers of the
World was described and denounced
by William C Fitts, assistant attor
ney general of the United States, in
an address here before the Mississippi
State Bar association, .
, 1 Mr. Fitts, who has had charge of the
nation-wide campaign against Indus
trial Workers of the World agitators
and the prosecution of many leaders
since the United States entered the
war, declared the German government
encourages spreading of the doctrines
of sabotage in the United states, Rus
sia and other allied countries. Civil
processes, he said, are sufficient to
catcji the Agitators and martial law,
as proposed by dhis in congress, is
entirely unnecessary.
The Industrial Workers of the
World areTelated -by their theories
to international jeds, bolsheviki and
other revolutionists, said Mr. Fitts,
' and all "are making war, first on legiti
mate labor organizations and .on tne
very social fabric which protects them
and us.
Mr. Fitts said he had extensive evi
dence that the Industrial Workers of
the World have prevented the rais
ing of crops by practicing sabotage in
the planting, sowing and reaping.
They have put phosphorus balls in
shocks of wheat, in bales of hay and
in barns, he said. Ty have de
stroyed harvesting machinery and
placed, dynamite in the sheaves. They
have destroyed mature fruit trees by
driving coppers nails into them be
lovMhe surface of the ground.
Fire Great Forests.
"They have destroyed .mining ma
chinery, especially in the copper
mines and in the mines where the
minerals, essential to the conduct of
the war, are mined and produced. They
have fired the forests, particularly
the, forests of spruce; that being the
. wood essential for making airplanes.
The have destroyed saws in the saw
'mills by driving pieces of steel or
iron in the logs so as to break the
band saws and unnerve the sawyers
They saw lumber shorter than stand
ard lengths. Ihe industrial Workers
of the World have surrounded court
houses and packed court rooms for
the purpose of putting over their
pians. iney nave taxen possession
of railroad trains and assaulted and
murdered the train crews. They
missend freight, misplace signal lights
and put emery dust or sand in jour
nal boxes on railroad cars.
"Members of the organization place
foreign substances in food in hotels
and restaurants, break crockery, dip
table forks in crude oil, use stink
pots in dining rooms and put bed
bugs in beds. They plant trees up
side down, shock grain with the
heads .down, hoe up potato vines in
stead oft weeds, bruise apples and
other fruit in packing. They remove
units from carefully adjusted machin
ery," misplace and omit parts of 'copy'
in printing offices and put foreign sub
stances in canned goods.
Forbidden to Own Money.
' "No man can be an Industrial
Worker of the World who possesses
as much as $50 in money or property,
or who has permanent employment
or who becomes a soldier or a sailor
of any country.
"They view with alarm the prepa
ration of the country to resist its for
eign enemies, because they not only
would gladly witness the triumph of
those enemies, but also because they
dojjot.want the country to be pre
pared to meet and stamp out the an
archy which they intend to foment
from within.
"All their communications begin
with the words, 'Dear Comrade,' and
end with the words, Yours for the
"Revolution. While our precious boys
are freely pouring their youth out on
the battlefields of France, the ad
ministration is bringing to bear, and
bravely, every orderly process of the
law for the suppression of this prop
aganda and the eradication of this
poison.. If the present statutes, in
tended, for fairly decent people, can-
. not reach these devils, then congress,
which is neither backward nor pussy
footed, will pass laws which will
catch them."
Pop Recognizes German
, Rule Over Polish People
Rome, May 2. The Vatican intends
to recognize the new political forma
tion of Poland under Germany by
the sending of Monsignor Ratti there
as apostolic-delegate, according to a
statement issued at the office of the
?apal secretary of state today.
The "statement adds that the break
ing up of Russian authority in Poland
has made 'necessary the sending of
Monsignor 'Ratti to Poland. He is
considered an able representative of
the Vatican, holding the office of pre
fect of the Vatican library. .
Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair
Girls if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
- don't '
It doesn't do much good to try to
v brush or wash it out The only sure
".. way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
' ' solve it then you destroy it entirely.
. To -do this, get about four ounces of
-ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
y morning most if not all of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
- tingle sign and trace of it
You .will find, too, that all itching
nd digging of the scalp will stop,
ind your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It is
inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple rem
edy never fails. Adv,

Recital of Thrilling
Adventures in the
Terrific Struggle fox
World Democracy
By ARTHUR JAMES M'KAY.

CHAPTER IX Continued.
Arthur James McKay, "Shellproof
Mack,' was destined by parents for
the priesthood.
Being' if an adventurous spirit, he
enlisted in one of the English bantam
regiments alter the sinking of the
Lusitania and the failure of this
country to immediately declare war
upon Germany.
On his first trio over the top he was
wounded and applied for discharge on
account 01 oting an imcritau
His reauest was granted but Mack
tore up his application and went back
to the front when an omcer snowea
the need for his services.
After be'ng wounded three more
times Mack was still on the firing line
and jr. Christmas Evi, 1917, told a
story to his mates of his experiences
the previous Christmas on which oc
casion he received the title "Old Shell-
proof from officers and men.
The Prussians were opposite when
the men went in to the front for
their 10-day spell and a nasty time
was looked forward to. Things
quieted down for a few days and the
men spent the time in telling of their
wonderful Crpstraas dinner in letters
to the home folks. The dinner was
composed of bully beef, hardtack and
tea. Mack said the Prussians are not
the best fighters of the German army,
being quitters in the face of a hope
less tight
It was pretty quiet, as I have said,
but we felt a little bit leary of Fritz.
We expected him to send over his
Ghristmas presents before the holiday
da was past. It is a habit of the
beastly boche to select special occa
sions for his contributions of explo
sive hardware. I never knew it to
fail but once.
On the kaiser's birthday in 1917 we
had it all doped out that the Heinies
would celebrate by strafing us with
all they had. We got ready by build
ing special parapets and sandbagging
everything that could be protected in
that way. The Prussians were
against us and we had it figured that
they couldn't resist the temptation.
They foolea us, and for the whole day
and one before and one after they
didn't send over a shell.
On this Christmas Eve Fritz didn't
disappoint us at all. He was right
there, living up to his reputation. For
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon he
started his show. There were five of
us sitting on the fire step in the bay
talking when Captain Trembard came
along on inspection of rounds. Mr.
Trembard had only been out a few
weeks and was due to become a very
popular officer. He was a kind, cordial
chap, who seemed to take a personal
interest in the men, and was nowhere
near as far away as the average cap
tain. ...
He came along and passed a few
remarks, asking if we were trying to
make ourselves comfortable, and then
he wished us a Merry Christmas and
moved down the traverse. He had
hardly turned the corner of the bay
when the first shell burst directly over
the trench. It did Captain Trembard
in. I ran down and found that he
had gone west, hit fair in the stom
ach with a big fragment.
I ran back and got on the fire step
and hugged the parapet along with
the others. Other shellsame over
and they had the range right. We
humped ourselves up with our heads
down and our arms, over our abdo-

bardment is on the men simply have
to stand by and take it There is
not a thing to do but hope and wish
them away.
After giving us a 10 minutes' straf
ing they let up a bit. We, too, loos
ened up and moved about some. A
mate of mine named Livins and I were
sitting on the fire step. Howard was
standing on the step and TuffneU and
Court were standing in the trench
when the shell came over that fixed
our clocks. It must have been a big
boy, because there was a terrible
crash and the whole parapet for the
space of at least 20 feet lifted and
came in on us. I found myself buried
up to the neck, but I had raised my
hands and they were sticking up in
front of my face, although ray arms
were upder. I was packed in as neat
as you please.
Now, getting buried by a shell-burst
is not an unusual thing. It happens
to thousands of soldiers. Nearly
everybody that comes out of the big
show alive has been buried wholly or
Ipartly. I was not uncomfortably
crushed and naturally began to claw
about and try to get my arms free. I'd
have got completely out only I was
saved the trouble.
sl may have been digging for two
or three minutes when I heard an
other shell coming. You can hear
them go overhead with a long thin
"sque-e-e-e-e-e." You instinctively
duck your head, though you know it's
not going to do any good. I ducked
this time, sticking my nose into the
mud.
And then she smashed. I don't
know whether it hit in front or be
hind; how near it was, or how big.
All I knew was that there was an
other crash, which somehow seemed
to come from below, and I oozed up,
up, up out of the ground. "Oozed" is
the only way I can express it. I could
feel myself trickling up through the
mud and then suddenly I fetched
loose and flew. I must have
gone up 10 feet and I came down all
spraddled out but on my feet I
promptly sat down.
I was a little dazed but not much
and began to laugh. Must have been
a little hysterical, I suppose. I
sat for not more than a few seconds

and then deliberately got up. I didn't
have a scratch.
I didn't have a sign or a symptom
of a shell-shock. I said to myself.
"Mack, old top, you ought to get
Blighty on this." And I tried to
imagine that I was dumb or para
lyzed or something. No use! I was
as good as new.
It was a case of in again, .out attain.
I had been buried under by a shell,
which should by all rules of the game
have done me in, and had been
boosted out again by another that
should have pulverized me.
And no harm done. I took a look
around and saw the trench all bashed
in and legs and arms sticking out
here and there, and then I shook the
reefs out of my legs and fairly. flew
to the aid post in the rear.. I got a
couple of stretcher-bearers' and some
shovels and went back. The shells
by this time were going over to the
second line and we worked like beav
ers. Livins, who had been close beside
me, was alive but blinded and badly
shell-shocked. Poor old Tuffnell,
who should have been on his way to
Blighty by right, had gone west with
out a scratch or a mark on 'him,
killed by the concussion. Court and
Howard were both gone, too. I was
the only man left in my section.
Out of the 42 men in my platoon
there were only two left untouched
besides myself. My experience at
tracted a lot of attention and vari
ous medical officers said that the im
possible had happened. I was chris
tened right then and there "Old Shell
proof," and I suppose I have livedo
up to the name; what with the silver'
skylight in the top of my head, the
numerous holes in various parts of
my body and considerable excess
weight in the way of shrapnel frag
ments, to say nothing of having been
filled up as I shall tell you later
with the latest and most fashionable
thing in the way of German kultur,
mustard gas and I am alive.
I am no bloomin' Hercules, but
with any kind of luck I hope to get
into good enough shape with a little
rest to go back over there and help
finish up the job that I have helped
start.
So there you have the cheerful
tale of a Christmas Eve. I had my I

We desire to take this means of advising
the public, our patrons and friends, that we
are retiring from the Automobile business
and that henceforth we will devote our en
ergies and time to our oil producing inter
ests in Oklahoma, Kansas and Louisiana, as
well as the Western distribution of Lalley
Farm Electric Lighting & Power Plants at
Omaha and Sioux City.
We want to express our appreciation to
all Studebaker owners for their past patron
age, and should we decide to enter the Auto
mobile field in the future, hope that we may
be favored by you as in the past.
We also wish to announce that in discon
tinuing the handling of Studebaker Auto-v
mobiles, the cordial relations that have ex
. isted between ourselves and the Corporation
still exist, and we cannot recommend the
New Studebaker Mo'dels too highly to any
one considering the purchase of a car, as we
think that they are the best value on the .
market today and the most wonderful
cars the Studebaker Corporation have ever
produced.
