The Seattle Star (»:: = LA] WAR TALK IN aS WASHINGTON ) How Uncle Sam —') Will Deal With Your Fifty Dollars! © War Objector Fe | Ne By Gilson Gardner Start Hpectal WASHINGTON, D. C,, Oct. 16 One of the problems in any compul sory military service Is the “conse! entious objector"—the man whose Jconselence will not permit him to kill and who will accept any conse | quence rather than do no. | A certain small percentage | found in all countries This problem is now secretary of war. In all the 16 cantonments there are those who have failed to obey * summons, or who do #0 under protest, declaring that they are un willing to become members of any killing organization The adjutant general's now rounding them" up The first step is to make sure the reluctant ones understand the situation, the law, their duty, and the penalties, Those merely la ging will be given a chance to catch up. Argument and moral suasion will be used If this falle they will be arrested and taken to the camps, to be dealt with according to the following plan First, they will be offered service in a non-combatant force, In work necessary to an army tn the field The objector will be assured he will not be exposed to actual com bat or compelled to take part in actual killing A certain percentage will a pt | Another alternative which may |be offered is that of military or ¢ gineering work in the United States which will relieve others for duty lat the front.

Then you lay down your paper and say: he is the use of my subscribing? The government does not need my ie Your viewpoint is all wrong. You totally misunderstand the object of it campaign to enlist popular support for the loans. The chances are, by dint of a drive in the great money marts, Uncle Sam could three billion dollars from the big corporations and the wealthy captains of} istry. But such a loan floated in such a way would not be a popular loan, Re d not represent to the world what the plain American men and women thougat of their governmrnt. |The scheme in all these loans is to get as many of the plain people interested | as possible. The plan is to show to the world this is not a rich man’s war, but “8 war of ural the people of the United States upon the ruthless and brutal military -'. 1» D, IK.'s.”.

It will be greatly oversubscribed. fhe precious bonds will be held in millions of homes—where they should be.
