Jake Schroeder Writes to Voters May 9. 1918 To the Republican Voters and Citizens of Gilliam County: It is with a feeling of deep re gret that I feel called upon to make a denial of certain reports which are being circulated for political purposes to the effect that I had given expression to pro German sentiments since the beginning of this war. I have been a resident of thla county for tbe past eighteen years and I know that I am iust as loyal and patriotic as any citi zen in this community and was surprised indeed to learn that I had an enemy capable of making an accusation against me as ser ious as this one. I am inclined to be charitable, however, and be lieve that it was thoughtlessness on the part of the person who or iginated the chartre and I feel sure, that my friends and ac quaintances are absolutely con vinced of my loyalty to my coun try and its people. ; ' Respectfully, Jake E. Schroeder. Sergeant French is here on re cruiting duty. He wants volun tary enlistments from men aged 18 to 21 inclusive and from 81 to 40 inclusive. All enlistments will be for the duration of the war unless sooner discharged. Ralph Beddow of Seattle ar rived in Condon Tuesday evening and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs William Crawford.
