LONDON, April lfi. — S. II. Thomas,
an Australian, living In London, will
be called to the colors May 8, for gar
rison duty abroad, despite his con
cientious scruples against killing Ger- [
mans.
As manager of a metal company, '
Thomas sold tons of material for the ^
munitions factories, but his conscience,
didn’t bother him.
"I admit taking a profit from mu- ^
nitlons, which are Intended to kill
people," lie said, “but I entered the
business as a boy when there was no
war.”
That ruined his chances before the
military tribunal.
Conscientious objectors whose
scruples against killing are recognized
by the military authorities are no
longer to work as direct war auxillar !
ies. But If they are called up they
must participate In some work of na
tional Importance.

NEW YOHK, April 16. — A story
of how the Cuban secretary of the
Interior, ail unconsrious of It. helped
ft bunch of Cuban fight fans out of u
hole, was brought here recently by a
traveler from lianava. The fight was
staged In Havana over the protests j
of the mayor and the chief of police, j
much to the satisfaction of the pro- 1
motors — and to the extreme chagrin
r>f the secretary, who found out about
It later.
The fight was advertised to take '
place, the hall was packed, the cigar
ettes were going big and the Cubans
were happy, .lust as the announcer !
was telling his audience what a fine ,
pair of scrappers the two antagonists i
were, and how the fur was going to
fly in clumped a sergeant and ten (oy
soldiers, designated police.
Down the aisle they marched In pre
cise military formation, and were
brought to an nbrupt halt at the ring
side by the sergeant, who, with a
nourish. Informed the audience and
the promoters that by order of the
mayor, no fight was to be held.
"But I have the authorization of the
secretary of the Interior to hold this
fight," the promoter protested.
I* •• _ll.J .1.
- . -- nv,i h> niu,
"Orders are orders, and I work for
the mayor. Clear out."
The debate grew and the words were
flying fast. “Suppose I should show
you a letter from the secretary of the
Interior. You know his signature,
don't you?" And the promoter pro
duced the letter.
"That's his signature, all right," re
plied the policeman, "but the fight
can't go on.”
“If I should get the secretary on
the telephone and he should tell you
to allow the fight to proceed, would
you change your mind?"
This was agreed to and someone
rnng up the secretary, who informed
the policeman that the fight must be
held. The policeman made his apolo
gies, bowed very low a lot of times
and he and his men took front seats
and watched the show.
Next day it was found the secretary
was out of town.
