DRAFT ROUNDUP
President Calls on Gregory
For Data on Raids After
Debate in Senate
Washington, P. C.. Sept. 6 —Presi
dent Wilson last evening asked At
torney General Gregory to report to
him all the conditions and circum
stances surrounding the so-called
"Slacker roundup" in New York this
week, in which some 40,000 men were
taken into custody by agents of the
Department of Justice, the Military
Intelligence and soldiers and sailors.
The President's request followed a
two-hour debate in the Senate, in
which the action of the Federal au
thorities was severely criticised, par
ticularly by Senators Chamberlain,
chairman of the Military Committee:
Johnson of California; Sherman, of
Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap
Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your halt
looking its best. Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This d(ies the scalp, makes |
the hair brittle and ruins it.
Thq best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teasnoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing ev-1
ery particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp "soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very' cheap,
and a few ounces win supply every
member of the family for months.—

4* simply carried out the policy I have followed ever since I engaged in v

4* myself of the chance and shared the benefits of my good fortune with
my customers. ' 4*
I consider myself particularly fortunate in securing all of the stock
4 f of the well-known E. L. Rinkenbach store, which maintained a high
reputation for over a quarter of a century as one of the best jewelry '4*
stores in this section of the state.
4 C The stock is not only very large and of a high standard, but is well
4o selected and includes assortments of almost everything usually kept * r
4* in a first-class jewelry store. In fact, an inventory shows that we ej
will be able to offer you almost any article you may want. 4"

.Smoot Proposes Inquiry
Investigation by the Military Com
mittee of the raids in New York was
proposed in a resolution introduced
by Senator Smoot. of Utah, after sev
eral senators had vigorously de
nounced the raids as illegal and un
warranted. Upon objection by Sena
tor Kirby, of Orkansas, consideration
of the resolution went over until to
day.
Under the Smoot resolution, the
committee is asked to- ascertain who
is responsible for the raid and the
I anticipation of the soldiers and sail
ors, this information to be obtained
at hearings before the committee.
Senator Kirby first sought to have
the resolution referred to the Military
Committee before being acted upon
by the Senate, but when Senator
Smoot pressed for immediate consid
eration. the Arkansas senator en
tered a formal objection.
It has been officially stated that all
of the roundups have been conducted
by the Department of Justice through
District Attorneys and the Bureau of
Investigation, acting jointly with the
Military Intelligence Service and
Provost Marshal's office.

Senator Chamberlain; of Oregon,
chairman of the Military Committee,
called the Senate's attention to the
wholesale arrests in New York, for
which he declared there was no legal
authority. He said while he despised
the so-called "slacker." nevertheless
they should be reached by due pro
cess of law.
"Tens of thousands of innocent
young men were hauled before the
courts " ho added.
"I don't know who is responsible,

CHASES AWAY HUN PHOTOGRAPHY PLANE
LETERS FROM A DAUPHIN BOY TO HIS MOTHER
/
Escadrille Spad 38,
Secteur Postal 12,
June 29. 1913.
Dear Mother: Just my luck! I've
failed again! yes, I have been in an
other combat and thanks to my punk
shooting and a gun which would not
work the Hun got away. It occurred
yesterday morning, just around din
ner time, when the Huns so wisely
came over, for a Frenchman does
hate to have his eats irregularly.
But orders came for several pilots
to get up In the air "tout de suite"
and keep an eye out for photoplanes,
as the sky was nearly clear of clouds,
which would be very good for taking
pictures the Hun would be sure to
come over, it being the tirst decently
clear day in a long while.
HUUM Out of Sight
We had no sooner gotten off the
ground than high overhead we could
see the white shrapnel breaking,
white shrapnel is distinctly French,
so that we knew there were Huns
around somewhere even if they were
so high we could not see them. Judg
ing from the bunches of white puffs
in different portions of our sector
there was more than one Hun floating
around taking shots with his camera.
Keeping an eye on the shrapnel, we
kept climbing as hard as we could,
meanwhile keeping a sharp lookout
for the Hun.
Finally, among a bunch of white
puff balls, 1 made out the dim black
speck of a Hun, but he w'as a long
way off, somewhere over Rheims.
and since he was also at some 6,000
meters while I was only at 3,000 I
continued to follow my leader around
in an endeavor to climb up to those
tantalizing white puffs.
Starts After Him
I kept my eye on that dim speck
of a Hun while I followed the leader,
kept an eye on my instruments and
coaxed all the power possible out of
my engine. She sure was working
like a charm and cquld outclimb all
the others. Just about the time 1 dis
covered this fact, the Hun I had been
watching, having been driven back
over his own lines by the French
shrapnel, decided he would try again
and in our direction. Seeing him
coming and still somewhat higher
than us. I mentally remarked "hang
the patrol," and commenced climbing
for all the motor was worth.
Whether the Hun saw me or not
is a question but since he passed right
over me on his way in, I don't see
how he could help it. Anyway, he
had not passed very far until he did
see my little old Spad humping up
toward him. and promptly turned
right about face and headed for
home.
I was nearly at his level then and
still coming strong, but when he
turned around the situation had as
sumed a different phase. Whereas,
before I had been in nearly perfect
position to attack (it being a bi
plane), right under the tail, now that
he was heading my way everything
was in his favor. For a second I
was at a loss how to meet the situa
tion, for he w-as only 10 meters above
me, and coming right over me as he
was 1 had nary a doubt the pilot
would dive on me and take a few
shots as he went past, apd as soon as
he got past his machine gunner would
open fire.
Takes a Shot
There seemed to be nothing to do
f but keep coming,' for having come
up to fight I most certainly wasn't
going to dive down again, even ir by
TTATtRISBURG TELEGRAPH
several quick turns and dives his aim
might be disturbed, so 1 decided to
try and get a few shots in on my
own account by standing on my tail
just as he passed overhead, such
action. I well knew might send me
"oft on a wing," but there was sev
eral miles of space under me, so
what was the odds, besides the
situation demanded quick action, and
1 might hit the Hun.
Nearer and nearer came the Hun
plane with yours truly still climbing
to the limit and feeling around for
his two triggers. with no other
thought in his mind but to plug that
Hun. On came the Hun. never vary
ing an inch as he sped for home, and
1 could see the small black cross on
his lower wing, not really a cross,
but merely two black strokes like a
plus mark or a postal kiss.
Tail Spin Costly
So Interested and anxious was I to
get as close under that Hun as pos
sible that x did not notice that my
plane was nearly on the point of
stalling so hard was I endeavoring
to climb. Therefore, when the mo
ment came to Are as the Hun was
nearly over me, and I pulled on the
stick to get in my coveted shots, in
stead of hovering on my tail for the
several seconds necessary to aim and
shoot, the plane promptly slid off on
a wing and started whirling down
ward in a "vrille" (tail spin), with
me losing religion with every whirl,
for I knew what had happened and
whflf and 'sure was sore, because
with every whirl of the plane I was
losing height that I had striven BO
hard to attain.
To make matters worse. I was try
ing to shut the engine oft with the
wrong lever—there are two on a
Spad. a big one to pull the power on
and oft and a small one to regulate
the air as one climbs higher.
On some machines these levers
work in opposite directions, on others
both work the same. My machine
still awaiting repairs I was flying an
other pilots' Spad whose levers work
opposite, thus before X had found
the- big lever and slammed it swiftly
shut, the plane had made six turns.
Going at the terrific speed I was
and turning at the same time, it was
surely a lucky thing X was in a Spad.
Any other plane would have broken
under the strain. Even now I don't
see how the Spad stood up under it
without losing a wing.
But one faces facts when in the
air and since I came out of the
"vrllle" finally with both wings still
on. and saw the Hun just ahead div
ing for home like all possessed, 1
promptly pulled the motor wide open
again and started after.
Open. Eire
I was catching him too. but like a
big chump, I didn't hold my fire until
close enough to see the whites of
their eyes, as the Bunker Hill saying
goes, getting a bead squarely on him
and opening fire at some 150 meters.
Maybe it was less and maybe more,
for distances are hard to gauge in
the air, but if I had known how those
two guns were going to act there
would have been no long range fir
ing I assure you. One would not
work at all. the delicate trigger me
chanism connected with the motor
having broken. The other gun fired
several times and jammed.
Make. Fine Music
Fixing that it shot a few more
jammed tgain, once more
I fixed it and that time a steady
stream of lead poured out of that gun
several seconds. It was the best
music I ever heard and just as I was
beginning to enjoy the tune and get
a line on where my shots were go
ing that doggone gun jammed like
its mate, and there I was. right be
hind a Hun and catching him at that
with two useless guns. 600 cartridges
and no way to shoot them.
Wouldn't it give you a pain In
deed?
There was nothing more I could
do there, but seeing another Spad
attacking I stuck around for moral
support, and had the satisfaction of
seeing the Hun go down in a big
spiral, none the worse for wear I
presume. But at least, we had the
satisfaction of knowing that the Hun
did not perform the mission he was
sent on. for we chased him back as
soon as he came over and if he took
any pictures I fear his speed in get
ting back home blurred them some
what.
French Not In Fight
When we four finally all landed it
turned out that only we two Ameri
cans had actually fired any shots,
one Frenchman not having seen the
Hun at all. while the other said he
could not catch him. As 'for the
"vrille" I tumbled into. I was so close
to the Hun when it happened that
my American comrade thought I was
surely hit, for a plane out of con
trol always falls into a "vrille."
Strange to say, one of the Frenchmen
saw my vrille, but not the Hun, and
yet the Hun was right over me.
Incidentally, during that combat
I acquired a mighty good opinion of
the French gunners handling that
white shrapnel. "Archie," you know,
generally stops talking when friends
and foe get all mixed up—even the
Hun hold their fire then—but this
was not one of the times, for when I
came out of that "vrille" and headed
! into position on the Hun's tail they
were still blazing away at that bird
of Kaiser Bill's, and I'll hand it to
I them, they were coming mighty close
too.
Fine Shooting
They had his height nearly to a
meter and his speed to a hair. That
was all very well in its way, but you
want to remember little Walter was
right behind said Hun and those big
pear-shaped "Archies" were breaking
Just about as unhealthy close to me
as the fleeing Hun. Not that it
bothered me a lot, for I was so inter
ested in getting a bead on the Hun
and fixing my fractious gun that . I
only gave it a passing thought.
Yes Dad, I agree with you that the
guardian angel you spoke of has cer
tainly taken good care of me so far.
but doggone it! I wish he, she or It
would steer one of my bullets into a
Hun, for I sure am anxious to see
something tumble when I shoot.
And say! Have a heart and write
a letter, once in awhile I tmve not
had one for a week.

PENROSE RAPS
PALMER'S OFFICE
Savs That He Has Given Fat
Jobs to Democrats in Han
dling Alien Property
Senator Boies Penrose took occa
sion yesterday at Washington to not
only deny the charges made against
him by A. Mitchell Painter, Demo
cratic national committeeman, in his
speech here, but to show that Mr.
Palmer as alien property custodian
was taking care of Democrats.
The Senator denies the Palmer
charges saying:
"I have had no connection or con
cern with the frivolous revelations
A. Mitchell Palmer attempts to make
at Harrisburg, and only such knowl
edge of it as is possessed by many
other citizens who have viewed with
amusement the downfall and humili
ation of Palmer and his fellowtleld
marshals in Pennsylvania.
"So far as I am concerned, the
statements of Palmer are entirely
unfounded. Palmer has a habit of
making reckless assertions and has
on several occasions made statements
which were without foundation, but
which were absurd, concerning polit
ical matters in Pennsylvania.
"An utter disregard of any pre
tense for the truth and apparently
an obtuse failure to read how ridicu
lous his statements are has fre
quently characterized his utterances.
"In this instance, as on previous
occasions, his statements have failed
to impress any one and he has been
repudiated by his own party and by
the people.
"His vituperative and fanciful in
dictments in the last senatorial cam
paign are only remembered now on
account of the humiliating defeat
which followed them, accompanied
by the loss of a very large part of his
own party vote.
"To Hide Rough Shod"
t "In the present instance he started
out with a few self-constituted boss
es of the Democratic party in Penn
syvania, chietiy oittceholders under
the Wilson administration to ride
rough shod over the Democratic
voters at the last primaries in an at
tempt to force the nomination of
Mr. Guffey for Governor.
"A more high handed proceeding
of a few self-constituted officehold
ers is seldom witnessed in the man
agement of any party. The present
Democratic leadership in Pennsylva
nia has never been deep rooted or

in any way in accord with the Dem
ocratic strength of the state. It is
based solely on federal patronage
under the Wilson administration.
"Few of the real Democrats who
held elective office from Democratic
sections are in any kind of harmony
with the Palmer-McCormick-Guffey
leadership. It seems strange that any
political leadership should so persist
ently ignore and drive away such im
portant party elements, but such is
the fact.
"The holding of federal office is
the chief qualification for participa
tion in the councils of the Palmer-
Gutfey-McCormick coterie. The mem
bers are all appointed and few are
ever elected to anything. Hence the
Democratic party in Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania has been demoral
ized. The slate arbitrarily set up by
the Guffey-Palmer-McCormick out
fit was repudiated at the primary
election by the real Democratic vot
ers of the state.
"This is the actual Democratic
situation which has resulted practic
ally in the disbandonment for the
time being of a great party.
Refers to tlte President
"President Wilson has ostentatious
ly announced upon a solemn occasion
in a speech to the Senate and House
that politics should be adjourned and
Mr. McAdoo has recently called upon
the employes of the railways to get
out of politics. It would be beiitting,
becoming and decent if Palmer,
McCormick and Guffey were called
off and ordered to attend strictly to
the supposed nonpartisan duties of
their positions. .
"Palmer particularly holds a posr
tion of high financial and industrial
importance dealing with property
amounting to many millions, and he
could well abstain from partisanship
at this time and not permit his ac
tivities to sink to the level of a village
postmaster holding office as the re
