Questions.

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- ^

er.ts per mile to actual bona fide

The Comptroller of the Treasury

cruiting officer, or the original dis-j
cnareo certificate, the latter to be! 1

In the event that the actual bona t

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. Moreover, the o
LMupaiciuvoiy snarl timo given to \v
n'litary routine has proven ample to t(
eep the individual soldiers in trim o
>r field sendee should emergency fi
squire. ? pi
Plan May Come. F
While the secretary's announce- tl
ent is expected to be an entire ex- st
>sition of his personal views it is
isumed here that his advocacy of a N
nn of educational military nation- ni
training will mean the inclusion , th
some such plan as a basic part of i-m
e military policy to be laid before inv
ngress. j Sj
No announcement has been madclwt
?m the war department of any es- Pi
ntial detail of the proposed policy, joi
t well informed circles here are Cr
nfident the reorganized military 'tn
tablishmont will be planned under cln
roe prima pal heads, an enlarged a i
?ular army with strong reserves; wli
expanded national guard and a an
m of national training whereby pai

Bill for Congress.
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."

showing guns already available in- 1

funs II,(>00; 4.7 inch guns 750; 155 I

Mlicd answer which was made pubic

s negative. It points out that the

'le . tlie iundamenlal c. Moderations

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.
There will be every opportunity
or Germany to make her position in
