Henry Bacher of this city was re
cently arrested by Sheriff Lewis on a j
charge of making seditious utter-!
ances. It Is claimed that Mr. Bacher j
for a year past has been making un
patriotic remarks, and the sheriff's
office has been notified a number of
times that he had been indulging In
seditious talk. It is reported that
Mr. Bacher had been warned several
times that his utterances would get
him into trouble. Finally his con
tinued talk became so open that per
sons to whom he talked were willing
to swear to a complaint.
When questioned by Deputy U. S.
Marshal TItchenor, who is In Grants
Pass on special business, Mr. Bacher
denied any pro-German sympathies
and utterances, although he admitted
doing considerable talking and of
fered to keep quiet If released. He
freely told the deputy marshal that
he had said he believed the German
people had a right to their Ideas as
well as any of us and that he thought
the United States had no right to
cross the ocean to fight and should
wait until attacked on this side. .
Prosecutor Reames of Portland
was communicated with and when
told what Bacher had said gave im
mediate orders that a warrant be
sworn out before U. S. Commissioner
Herbert Smith and that Bacher be
brought to Portland.
Mr. Bacher is a sign and automo
bile painter and decorator of ability
and has been a resident of Grants
Pass for nearly thirty years past. His
friends believe he had no disloyal in
tentions but all say he acted unwise

KNIT FOR BOYS .
ALREADY IN RANKS
"Save the khaki and gray knit
goods for the soldiers if you do not
want to help the kaiser," is the ward
ing of A. H. Babcock, consulting en
gineer of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, who has also been commis
sioned a major in the United Slates
army engineers' reserve corps.
"All our mothers, wives, sisters
and sweethearts are knitting socks,
scarfs, gloves and sweaters in khaki
and gray for our army and navy boys
in the camp and in the field. So
great is the need that knitting now
may be said to be the feminine avoca
tion. ."The need for these articles by
the men in the field is great. Lack
of them often' means a decrease of
physical resistance, which in time
may mean inability to fight of pneu
monia. Since the regulations permit
the use only of khaki and gray, civil
ians at home should not accept or
wear knit articles in these colors. If
they must wear articles of military
cut,, let them be of other colors.
"Every woman who spends her
strength knitting should see that her
efforts are for the direct benefit of
seme. man in the ranks, rather than
ton some one' yet to be called.
"The important facts are that our
soldiers and sailors urgently need
these particular garments of which
there is' a great natural shortage.
Whoever or whatever diverts even one
such. garment from its natural func
tion thereby and by just that much
helps the kaiser."
LATEST WAR NEWS.
RAILROADS TO BE
DIVIDED INTO ZONES
In order that the railroads may be
promptly-informed on freight embar
goes on various lines and so properly
advise shippers, the railroads of the
United States and Canada have been
divided into 26 zones, each with a
chairman. Whenever any line Issues
an embargo thereafter, it will send
a notification of it to each of the 26
chairmen, who in turn will notify
all the roads In this territory.
K. M. Nicoles, superintendent of
transportation for the Western Pa
cific, is to be chairman of the San
Francisco zone, and J. H. O'Neill,
general superintendent of the Great
Northern, of the Seattle zone.
Notification to this effect has been
received by local roads from the com
mission on car service at Washington.
The embargo situation, because of the
abnormal traffic conditions resulting
from war activity, is changing so rap
idly that this centralization has be
come imperative In order that a ship-,
per may know promptly what freight
routes are open for his shipments, i

A VERSE FROM CAMP LEWIS.
The following verse was printed in
"Over the Top," the soldiers' news
paper of Camp Lewis:
"Going West"
( An expression used instead of death
. by our allies.)
"Going West" isn't dying,
It's just going west, to a glorified
rest
As the setting sun, when the day is
done, !
In a glory of red, sinks low in the
west,
Never suggesting a thought of the
dead
Hut rather of rising again in the
morn
A sun reborn!
"Going West" isn't dying,
It s just going west, t6 a glorified
rest. .
