WILSON TO RETIRE |: IF LEAGUE PASSESi |; Won't Bo Candidate for Third 1 ( Term Unless He Is Forced to Fight < ~ I TO MAKE STATEMENT ( SOON AFTER RETURN ' 1. Has Refrained Thus FaT to j Keep Attention on Big Questions. I When he returns to America President Wilson plans to make a definite and public announcement that under no circumstances will he he a candi- ^ date for re-election, says the correspondent of the New York World. He outlined this program to a number of Democratic members of the foreign relations and foreign affairs committees on occasion of the dinner . it which he answered questions about the League of Nations. ? There has been more or less mys- ^ tery about utterances on that occas- ^ ion. principally due to the circum-I stance that his statements about his ? candidacy were confidential, while < his replies to the questions concern- (t ing the Paris negotiations werejf1 meant to be told broadcast. jj' He explained his reasons for not . making the announcement at that time. Fie wanted the undivided at- j tontion and support of the party leadorswir what he regarded as the most j vital thing in the modern history of ^ America. He hoped that the person- j al ambitions of no Democrat would j." start cross currents that might deei vclop into rivalries that would dis- j tract the energies of the leaders of , !)< sentiment and confuse the public oj opinion. j As long as there was a possibility ^ of the President's being the candidate, nobody would start campaigns for the other follows, and the attention of the country would remain eon to red on the big questions. At the same time he made them ^ understand that when the time came ^ he would step out of the way and ^ le:iy^ the nomination to the best man. 'nie.rc was some effort to got the President to indicate then who, in his opinion, the best man was, hut he was not to he cajoled into making ^ ' a choice that would upset all his caldilations regardless of the confiden- ^ tial character of the conversation.

Norri BAKER TO FAVOR MILITARY PLAN I 1 Secretary of War Will Make Statement About Nation's Youth. Washington.?Secretary Baker is 2>fl)ecbcd soon to make a pubHc announcement of a definite stand in J favor of universal educational mili- I tary training with a statement of I his reasons. It is assumed here that President Wilson has accepted his plan. The plan understood to be favored \>y Secretary Baker contemplates the lse of the military establishment as x medium for training the youth of the nation; first along academic and vocational lines and sis an entirely separate and subordinate feature in rudimentary military science. The secretary's suggested program is ;aid to be based initially on the benefits which will accrue to the county from the higher average in in;olligcncc and the improved stand mi of physical well being of the roung men who wordd he taken an- : luaily into the training machine. The favorable results of the operaion of the A. E. iF. university sys- * em are believed to have largely 1 nought Mr. Baker to his opinion. J "Cot only have the thousands of sol- 1 tiers in France shown great eager ess to avail themselves of the op ortunity of exchanging "guns for ooks" but the progress made under he specially selected instructors and li /ith the carefully designed sehc- d ules has been so rapid as to sur- F lise prominent educators connect- e d with the work.

Indications that the war department is prepared to resubmit at the special session opening next Monday a bill authorizing the reorganization of the army on the basis of about 51)8,000 officers and men and to press for its approval were strengthened today when an official report was published showing the oidnance material to be complete for the army. The howitzer program included 880 of the 240 millimetre calibre, and this number the repoit stated, was based on the equipment necessary for the equipment of one army with 100 per cent, reserves. J "Existing stocks and proposed com pletions of the principal items of ordnance are amply sufficient to provide the full equipment and reserves for the proposed army of 539,000 officers and men," the announcement added. "Exceptions are heavy tanks and the special six-ton tanks. Also the prospective supply of six-ton tanks not i- r ' nx/b [IU'VUIC MM ii full HK) per cent reserve. As tanks are still in the experimental stage the accumulation of large stocks of the current design is considered inadvisable." Items in the ordnance program, i showing guns already available in- 1 dude the following: 75 millimetre funs II,(>00; 4.7 inch guns 750; 155 I nillimetre 450; 8 inch howitzers 85; t >.2 howitzers 44.

Moderations vi.ii h led to the in.' esition of the to: ms. The loss to world hipping through the German submarine campaign, t. is declared, in reply was nearly thirteen million tons. The Allies propose to make Gi rmany repay only four million Ions. Responsibility for this shortage in shipping is placed hit eelly on Germany and the German share in replacing* it is called "very moderate." In answer to the German plea that Germany will he called upon to feed (> 1,000,000 persons, it is declared that, the peace treaty takes (5,000,000 out or German control. It is added that German agriculture is in bettor shape than that of Poland, Belgium and Northern France, where the fighting was heaviest. The Gentians complained that they would lose certain necessary commodities. The Allied reply is that Germany can import these goods. Germany, it is asserted destroyed the Lens coal fields, and the coal fields taken from her in pay ment for the destruction wrought still leaves her sufficient sources of fuel. The Germans complained that the German population would suffer under the treaty, which was described as a "death sentence." The reply points out that all countries are suffering as a result of the war and there is no reason. why Germany, which was responsible for the war, should not suffer. German figures as to the loss in population due to the blockade and speculation as to what will happen to the population in the future arc declared to be falacious.
