to indications at the war department
today. They are expected to be the
first reinforcements for the initial di
vision which Maj. Gen. John J. Per
sng will command in Prance. The
regular army will be held in America
until later to train its own n?** in
crements and the 600,000 selective con
scripts who will be brought in through
the draft.
Word to this effect was spread
-crnr /tenartmenf follow
ing an announcement by Secretary
Baker that only 16 of the 32 new train
ing camps would be wooden construc
tion. These will be in the northern
States. The men at the other 16
camps will be under canvas. These
camps will be located in the Southern
States. Secretary Baker made the fol
lowing statement:
"The original plan was to build 32
cantonments, or divisional encamp
ments. The department commanders
were called upon to appoint boards
to study the available places and make
recommendations which would lead to
the selection of 32 such places
"The quartermaster general's de
partment, cooperating with the coun
cil of national deefnse committee,
studied the project and discovered
that the cost of building the number
of cantonments contemplated would
fho rvnttClhili-ties of the aD
probation that congress is now con
sidering. It was further discovered
that ft would be impracticable to build
that number on account of lack of la
bor, material and transportation facil
ities. The supply of tentage.has in
creased to such an extent that it will
be possible to have some of the en
campments in tents.
"The war college recommended that
the number be reduced to 16; tne
places, however, have not? yet been
definitely selectd, the chief of staff
feeing in communication with the de
partment commanders with a view to
making the selections/'
Under anvas.
As at nresent contemplated the gen
erel staff plan is said to be to send
the National Guard to canvas canton
ments in the South for a short period
o* intensive training and then to start
a movement overseas. The Guard will
be brought into service on July 15
and 25, while the untrained conscripts
will not begin to enter the army un
til September.
In addition to his statement today
Secretary Baker said that the first
estimated cost of the 32 cantonments
had been $77,000,000. This was the
amount asked of. congress. Recapit
ulation showed, however, that the
/vitioa" wnnlr}
propUSUU nvwucu vmvo
at least $150,000,000.
Quartermaster General Sharpe, who
was in charge of the estimates, this
afternoon declared that he had "been
asked to base his figures on only 16
cantonments. Later an official an
nouncement was made that there
would be 32.
A Isld rp.
Canvas manufacturers, who at first
apparently felt that the government
was at their mercy, also were brought
to time by the announcement of the
wooden cantonments. They said they
could not supply canvas euuugu ivi
the encampments, but when' the wood
en scheme was broached they imme
diately discovered large unsuspected
supplies.
One of the wooden cantonments
will be located at 'WVightstown, N. J.,
the war department announced this
afternoon.
PACIFISTS LOSE
FIGHT OX DRIFT
Kansas City, Mo., May 31.?The
pacifists lost their first legal battle in
the /United States against the draft
law this afternoon. Judge Bird of the
etate circuit court refused the appli
cation ,of Raymond I. Moore and T. R.
Sullivan, anti-arait agitators, ivr an
injunction preventing Governor Gard
ner and local officials from forcing
them to register June 5. J. D. Sho
iralter, representing the petitioners,
ftaid he would at once appeal to the
state supreme court now in session.
In announcing decision. Judge Bird
scored the anti-draft agitators.
"The registration and conscription
law is valid and ought to be enforced."
he said: "If I were one of the appli
cants in this case I would seek out
the nearest recruiting station and en
list."
Attorney Shov,-alter employed the
doctrine of state's rights in his argu
ment, alleging state and county offi
cials could not legally be assigned
tasks by the federal government. He
charged the newspapers had forced the
country into war and accused the gov
ernment of assuming "tyrnanica'l and
arbitrary power" in drafting men
Shortly after the decision was an
nounced. Moore, the acknowledged
leader of the anti-draft movement, and
three other men who declared their
intention to defy the registration law.
were arrested, charged with conspira
cy. Warrants were issued for nine
men and one woman.
Chicken Ordinance Asked.
Laurens Advertiser.
At one of the recent meetings of the
"Woman's Service league a resolution
was introduced and enthusiastically
passed calling on the city council to
pass an ordinance forbidding people
who own chickens to raise them in
other people's yards. The argument
was raised that good gardens could
not be had when the plants are up
rooted and eaten as fast as they get
their heads out of the ground. That
''wing" of the league which is inter
ested in beautifying Laurens also fav
ored the resolution as it will encour
age the planting of more flowers in
iront yards.
fsENATi: MAKES FOOD BILL
OF NO PRACTICAL VALCi
Washington, June 1.?It takes th
senate a long time to dispose of th
j food legislation so desired by th
government. All day again, the up
npr hnnxe talked over the Lever bil
to provide a food census and to stim
ulate production. tT was said tonigh
the bill would be passed tomorrow.
Various amendments took up tin
time. Senator MeCumber put througl
an amendment providing that the anti
hoarding section should not apply to
"Acquiring, storing and holding sucl
articles for future sale for such ad
vaced price as might prevail in tin
ordinary course of business and in :
free and unrestricted market."
Farmers Escape.
This section was put in the bill yes
terday by Senator Stone and make;
the man who tried to corner food am
Moid it up. surriect to six mourns u
three years in jail, without the alter
native of a fine. Already the sectior
has been altered so that it will no
apply to farmers. And today Senatoi
Frelinghuysen altered this still fur
{ ther to include fruit growers, coopera
tive and like exchanges.
Amendments by Senators Smoot ant
i Phelan allow, respectvely, first tn<
passage of tick infested cattle inti
this country under strict regulation
and second, the diversion of watei
from the Colorado river for the bene
I fit of the imperial valley in California
The senate refused .an amendmem
! by Senator Fletcher authorizing th(
secertary of agriculture to promote
the use of fish as food.
Since the bill came to the house ii
has been softened by the senate. Th<
: house made recalcitrant witnesses ir
a food inquiry subject to $5,000 fine
or two years in jail, but the senate
made this $1,000 or one year. .Moon
of Pennsylvania a house member
made the bill provide that the secre
tary of agriculture should not emploj
any one connected with a corporation
prosecuted under anti-trust laws. He
said that the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' association, who had offeree
its service to Herbert C. Hoover, hac
virtually been convicted. The senate
struck out his amendment.
Jfo Seed,
The senate has struck out the pro
vision allowing the secretary to com
ma^ndeer seeds, but allow him to\seI
seeds to farmers for cash, in case*
, of "special need." The appropriatior
| for this seed was cut from, $5.778,00(
1 to $2,500,000. The senate also cul
! from $4,348,000 to $3,000,000. the ap
; propriation for increasing food pro
| duction, eliminatng waste, etc.; $441,
j 000 for eradicating plant diseases was
stricken oat.
Appropriations for two assistan'
! secretaries at 55.000 eacn ana $??o,uu.
for handling live stock disaeses ar(
left in the bill. The appropriation foi
the food census is placed at $2,522,
000. An appropriation for iniscellan
eous items is increased from $547,00(
to $1,200,000.
Miss Rankin's, amendment that wo
men shall be employed when possible
in the elimination of waste, food con
scrvation. education, etc., was left ir
the bill. But the senate made this
read: "Without occasioning delay."
ELECTRIC CHORE BOY.
How a ouutry Resident Sa?es Wage:
of Boy and Laundress With
Home-3Ia<le Electric lnstal
Iation.
Mr. H. J. Geerlings, wlio resides ii
an outlying portion of Wauwatosa, i
suburb of Milwaukee, Wis., made ai
installation of an electric motor in hi:
home to pump water for a home water
works system and run the famil]
washing machine. A quarter horse
-power motor sufficed. Mr. Geerlinj
is planning to add a small grindston*
a.-Vii/'.Vi -ie tr? fr&t its TVlffPT from tll(
same source.
The "power plant'' is in the base
ment. A countershaft in the laundr:
with the necessary pulleys and belts
connects with the washing machine
iWlhen the pump is to be operated
being connected with the cistern t(
pump the soft water into the storag<
tank in the attic, whence it is p'pe;
through the house? a longer bel
leads the power through a partition t<
the "jack" on the floor. This trans
mits it to the force pump, a horizonta
stroke apparatus which was formeri:
operated by "one boy power."
This boy costs 25 cents a week
and like some boys, was not very de
pendable. The total expense for hi;
hire for the year was $13. In th<
year that the motor has been in op
eration, there was a saving also o
$1.50 per week for a laundress, th<
work now Deingoone wiuioui ner ueip
That makes $78 for the year for he'
alone.
The motor, a second hand machin<
cost $18 a year ago. The jack cos
| $5.50. With the cost of the labore:
j whom Mr. Geerlings employed to as
I sist him, the motor being hung fron
! the ceiling of the cellar, the tota
outlay in cash was $36. He obtaine<
shafting, belting and pulleys for noth
ing from amon^the "scrapped" mater
ials of a large manufacturing plant
Under any circumstances, even wit!
! paying for all this material the tota
1 cost would not have reach $50.
; The washing machine which is o
; ordinary household type, had beei
in service for some years. Originall:
it cost something like $8.
The first month after the motor wa.
in operation, the bill for curren
was 3 cents more than the month pre
j viously. by ooservmg tne revoiu
! tions on the meter. Mr. Geerling:
; found that when the motor is runnfn?
the pump, from 50 to 75 per cent a:
much current is consumed as whei
the electric toaster is in use; and th?
washing machine requires abou
I 66 2-3 per cent as much current as th<
1 pump.
I In a year the installation has mucl
; more than paid for itself.
The connection is made at an elen
trie light socket in the laundry
While the washing machine is beim
operated, the lady of the house car

They ought to give her a Carnegie
Hero Medal, for she saved four lives.
Last Sunday a telephone operator
in the Whitestone, L. I., exchange re
ceived a call from the home of Wal
lace W. Balch. Aman's voice, very
' weak, gasped:
-j <sGive me Joseph Daly. For Goers
; sake, hurry! House filled with gas."
j Daly is a neighbor of Balch's, but
i the operator didn't wait to get him,
j She is a woman of quick, splendid
j judgment, so she flashed a call to a
, nearby doctor who went to the Balcli
. j home, found Balch unconscious by
. | the telephone and his wife and twc
) sons in'the same condition in the
kitchen. In the kitchen range there
| had been imperfect combustion, while
"' Mrs. Balch was getting dinner. A
_'i mixture more deadly than illuminating
j! gas had been generated. The doctor
3' raised the windows, gave the strick
en people first aid and sent them tc
a hospital. A delay of a "few minutes
"-c"ld '- ave cost them their lives. h
declared.
J The New York 'World put this storj

They have to stand a good deal ol

prevails in army circles as to the lo

; all action taken and beginning to work
j out an entirely new plan for the train

i K'.ipted army are the causes. Today
i there are all sorts of rumors as to
what the outcome will be. One or two
j things have been settled, however,
j alter, the decision to reduce the num
j ber of cantonments from 32 to 16, and
! to have 16 or fewer cantonments for
the new army and camps under tents
for the National Guard. One is that
the department of the southeast has

i In these it is now probable that

east. One of these only has been lo
cated. This is at Atlanta and for the

Spartanburg, Macon, Greenville and
Macon, Anniston and Augusta have
i been ripped up and cancelled and
should anything go to these cities it
may be camps under canvas with one
I of them, or some other city in the
| three States to get a cantonment.
In the Georgia-Florida-Alabama dis
trict, it is thought that Montgomery
will get a camp, but not a canton
ment. As to the western district,
nothing has yet been determined, but
it is thought that something will be
announced after Gen. Wood's visit to
Fort Logan H. Roots.

The general staff seems to have chang
ed its general Dlans in everv respect
and until some definite plan of what
will be. done with the National Guard,
whether rushed to France at once or
kept here under tents, is an open
