General Gregory gave notice yester
day that because Austro-Hungarians
were to be treated in friendly spirit
and not subject to rigid restrictions
imposed upon Germans, the public
should not get the idea that these
subjects of an enemy Power would not
be carefully watched and promptly
dealt with if suspected of hostile ac
tivities.
Many Austro-Hungarians in differ
ent parts.of the country have been ar
rested sinco the declaration of a state

OF STATE GUARD
Served in the Philippine In

Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga.J
Dec. 14.—Lieutenant Colonel Kins,
chief of staff of the Twenty-eighth

Major General Charles H. Mulr, re
cently assigned to command the One
Hundred Sixty-second Infantry Bri
gade at Camp Jackson, S. C.. has
been designated as the new com
mander of the Pennsylvania Na
tional Guard division. General Muir
is tifty-five years old, has seen thir
ty-two years' service in the Regular
Army and was in the Philippines in-,
surrection and Spanish-American
War.
The commander Is reported to be ;
a soldier of much force and onthu-;
siasm. Major Fuqua, now assistant
to Colonel King and during the lat-:
ter's absence on his European ob
servation tour acting chief of staff, |
has served a number of years under i
the new commander. He was the!
Major General's adjutant while i
he was a post commander at Fort i
Clark, Texas, in 1910, and served!
with him in the Philippines from
1908 to 1910.
"He was always full of enthusi
asm," said Major Fuqua to-day.
Major Fuqua was much pleased
at the announcement of General
Muir's new assignment. He recalled
his long service under the new divi
sion commander, in which he wasi
his adjutant "at the post," "on the!
train," "on board ship" and his messj

Justice Administers
Scathing Rebuke to
Lawyer Opposing Draft
Washington, Dec. 14.—A scathing
rebuke administered by Chief Justice
White to one of the lawyers attack
ing the draft law enlivened argu
ment before the Supreme Court yes
terday in cases testing the constitu
tionality of the Army draft act. j
J. Gordon Jones, representing Al
bert Jones, convicted in Georgia of
failing to register, declared the law
was unconstitutional because it re
quired men to take part In a war
which had never received the peo
ple's approval. His remarks were
cut short.
"I don't think your statement has
anything to do with the legal argu
ments," said the Chief Justice sharp
ly, "and should not have bees'said to
this court. It. Is a very unpatriotic
statement to make."
The attorney apologized and con
tinued his argument.
Counsel In nine pending suits ad
dressed the court. They admitted' the
right of the government to draft cit
izens through the state militia, but
not as individuals, and contended the
iaw prevents political and religious
freedom, and denies citizens equal
protection.
Harry Weinberger, of New York,
representing Emma Goldman and
Alexander Berkman, confined his at
tack principally to the assertion that
the law deprives citizens of religious
liberty and added the government
has no right to grant exemptions on
relisfious grounds. Others argued that
judicial power was usurped by dele
gating to the President authority to
establish local draft boards to de
termine what men should be chosen
for service and which exempted.

The New Store of Wm. Strouse—3lo Market St.
While the Saloniki conflagration was
still raging Dr. Ryan set up soup
kitchens, and within twelve hours of
the start of the fire ho was feed
ing 2,500 people. The allied mili
tary authorities came in later, and
the wonk has been kept up ever
since, with English, French and
Americans co-operating.
The problem now i what to do
when the Macedonian winter sets in
and the tents ure no longer habitable.
The afflicted people are in a hopeless
ly improvident state of mind. They
are a wretched lot, having lost every
thing In the fire, and they refuse to
do a stroke of work for themselves.
There are many old women and chil
dren and hundreds at nursing babies
livfog in the tents'
In the baby's nursery Red Cross
nurses bathe the children, with boy
scouts as helpers. According to a
lato report not a baby had died at
one of the camps which was inspect
ed. In spite of the circumstances
there also was little sickness in this
camp.
