With the closiny of the second series of training camps for offi for the United States Army, Bz county again has scored with the commissioning of two of her most prominent young lawycrs. Howell H. Heck, of Rich Hill, and DeWitt C. Chastain of this city, both of whom have sacrificed lucrative practices in their profession to devote their ser- vices to their country. In winning their spurs through the grilling tests of the training camps the men who have laid aside personal considera- tions and desires have proven their worth and upheld the traditions of their county and state. If the Butler Commercial Club does not develop the necessary pep and enthusiasm to make of the reor- ganization of the Club the success anticipated, it will no Mr. A. Lyman Donlin, who by invi- tation has the charge. Mr. Donlin is a gentleman of magnetic personality, apparently knows his busin thoroughly and is just about the liveliest live wire it has been our good fortune to mect. He can sce a weakness in a business sys- tem farther than the ordinary man can see the court house on a clear day, and he is- utterly fearless and some times painfully frank in calling attention to it. ilis medicine may stem a fittle bitter to some of our members at the first taste, but we have no doubt that it is the correct remedy for the case, and taken in the prescribed doses, will prove highly efficacious, , —_—_—_—— Were it of less importance to the citizens. of Butl the herseplay which has characterized the actions of the city council in the handling of the city’s financial statement would be highly amusing to the — public. While it is no doubt asking too much of the council to really settle down to the actual transaction of business in a manner and give businesslike their attention to the bunghole, rath-} er than the spile, the people are at least entitled fo an accounting for their money regardless of whether they get their run or not. To just what end the council is doing all their maneuvering in the matter is hard to guess without it be that this is all a mere detail of some great strategical movement which — is about to be worked out through devious ways to an ultimate advant- age of great value to the city. Cer- tainly they do not hope to induce Some newspaper to publish their statement by the tactics they are em- ploying. The vecy tone of the reso- lution which hopelessly provides for its being offered to each of the four papers and when refused by them, its iaying aside, indicates that the coun- cil has no hope of its being published, at the rates they have seen fit to so ve ; arbitrarily dictate. It is hardly pos- oe ae sible that the council intends taking | ae | advantage of the situation which ; é they themselves have created and permit the public to go with their curiosity unsated as to how so mucit has been accomplished for the city - _ with so little money. GENERAL NOTES In order to prevent a decline in the birth rate it is reported that polyg- amy, under the name of “Double Households” is being practiced in Germany.

David Fallon, a young Irish-Australian vet- eran of Gallipoli and Belgium, thrilled 209 artists at the Society of Mlustrators’ dinner in the Hotel des Artistes with the story of German atrocities he has seen. “In Belgium,” said the young Cap- tain, “I saw a Mother Superior cruci- fied to the door of her convent, and within the bodies of noble women who had consecrated their lives to the teaching of the young and min- istering to the poor, cut to pieces and | mutilated, “In Belgium I saw an aged black- smith, his folded hands pinned to his anvil, and a note on his breast pro- claiming in German ‘he will shoe no more of the horses of our énemies,’ “When it came our turn our boys; went into the trenches to do their bit. And, as has happened to your boys, the trenches were raided and when the clash was over some of our boys were missing. The next day we sav’ their heads. Cutting them from their | bodies, the Boches had stuck them on bayonets above the trenches, scarcely 50 yards away. That time, when the word came, our boys need- ed no Spurs to send them over to and into the enemy’s trenches. There; we found our comrades crucified and; disemboweled and otherwise mutilat- ed. And then and there, gentlemen, we vowed that never again would we spare a German life. - “Once, in the trenches, I asked a German Captain for a truce in which to bury the dead and aid the wound- ed. Tle agreed, and we approached cach other’s lines under white flags. As we neared the Germans suddenly dropped to the ground and over them poured a hail of machine-gun bullets. “Again, when we had some trapped | - And buy Useful Gifts FARLY wscirch.

Hs was asked if he had made threats to fellow employes that the president ought to be shot because he was sending Americans to the war.
