My. but they eat. n I watched one of these birds at breakfast this morning. He was a wee s little hit of a dried up shrimp; not * neatly so long as I. The breakfast K was good. There was gra|>efrult and ^ " corn flakes and milk and brains and eggs and a lot of other things. I was ^ (> seated at the table across from him. On each side of him was a big husky 0 - Irishman, healthy red faced fellows V with lots of hair on their chests and a who according to their authorities, 0 would naturally eat twice as much as w this little conscience-troubled fellow. ^ Hut he had gobbled up a mess kit full " s of chow and was back after "seconds" ** (that is a second helping) before all p. the firsts in the line were served. I ^ it wondered how a lad who ate as much ei * as he does and who seemingly enjoyed i* eating for eattng's sake, could consci- A cntiouslv object to jabbing a hoyonet 'r - or lodging an Enfield bullet in the " II hide of a Hun who would take all his F ii chow away from him if he could. s There aro conscientious objectors here ri e of every variety and they belong to ii various and sundry creeds. I ran ae toss one sometime ago who is n P 1 Seven Day Advent 1st or something of Jc the sort, and he not only believes in it I keeping away from fighting: but he a1 1 believes that Saturday Is Sunday and nl Sunday isn't. At that time it was tl - necessary to have an enlisted man n - work Sundays checking loads of inn- t< nure which were neing hauled by the pi - government to a contractor. The lad tt wlfo had the job. a little fellow from vi Savanah didn't like the idea of work- et Ing on Sunday chocking manure. It F was not because he was especially re- qi , ligious: but he had a girl around a< , I'aria mountain somewhere, and he hi made a kick as to how he would like |p to spend his Sundays with her. The commanding uiiiwi saw u >u g| j please tlusn both. Ho put the C. O. ft on thr manure job on Sunday and u] gave hyn holiday on Saturdays. And Vi 4 tho follow with the Kirl on tho moun- s< tain is now roliovod on Sundays and r sjiends tho day with hor, tolling her ^ what a lino husband ho will make hor n( when tho war Is over. Thus O. 's f0 are useful ocoasionally. ^ Thosi- conscientious objectors range aj from tho doubtful ones who rapidly cj ^ develop exacting consciences oven while one waits, to a few who are so vj honest and so deeply sincere in their ' belief that they are willing to die for ^ their faith. One of these tnen went j to his commanding officer several m nights ago and asked for a pass out of camp In order that he might attend ^ prayer meeting. His officer told him that he could not grant n pass for that purpose; hut if he would state on his ^ application that he desired the pass ^ 1 for business or other reason, he would . ta grant It. "But that would be lying,' the conscientious one argued. "I thank you. sir; but 1 guess I won't go ^ to prayer meeting." That consclen' tlous objector is honest and sincere. If ^ 1 they were nil like him. it would be different. * When I'ncle Sam went to war In April * a year ago he flrtuIy declared his Inten1 tlon to giving all sincere consclen- ^ tlous objectors a square deal. As n consequence oerfain provisions were ' made whereby those who could give sat- w ' isfnctor.v proof that they were afflllat- a ed with a "well organized religious sect or organization organized and ex- ?' t lstlng May 18. 1917," whose creed for- A ' bade any participation In war. could 81 i be exempted from strictly military service. t They dig ditches and are employed 8e > In construction work, and farms and ln the like. There have been instances 111 in this camp where these fellows aftr er being given tedious and disagreeable tasks to do. have quickly gotten i rid of their consciences and been glad n to no into line companies or any oth- 63 * er branch of service In which the ' military authorities might see fit to place them. ^ Everybody at Camp Sevier has to I put out. Loafing about any military ^ ' camp is strictly tabooed. If a man dt ' stubbornly declines to drill and doesn't ^ appear for duty in the alternative w sera-ice to which he may be assigned. he is given a pick and a shovel and or- ro dered to keep busy. Further objec tions are met^tn a way that doea not th permit of argument when the do?>rs of the guardhouse open to him. There he may be left from a few days to a R< month. He has ample time to debate Pr the matter In his own mind. tei C. O.'a in this camp are of several G iths. There are Dunkards, Mormon's, Stundists, Quakers, Seven Day |t#mg Iventists and maybe other kinds, j was said a while ago, the average nsctentlous objector, while opposed Hem taking life in any way, is still loy- er8, w to his country, and realizing the Prtaon yriad difficulties and new problems t*ie> mi eraally confronting the govern- New ent in its tremendous task, is more tan willing to render all the assis- were ,nec he can. traasu Their"s is not a pleasant position.
