June 11, 1918 - Harsh Treatment for Conscientious Objectors

Fairly routine day today for Mary, but the newspapers continue to have war-related headlines, also stories about anti-Bolshevik efforts in Russia and an assassination attempt on Vladimir Lenin.  In addition there was an article in very similar forms appearing in both The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Evening Public Herald about severe sentences for a group of Mennonite conscientious objectors, reflecting the strict stand against almost any form of opposition to the war effort.  This from the Evening Public Herald.
