Hobart. Okla, Oct. 27-Charging that
the Hay-Chamberlain army bill contains
a draft clause and that President VII
son so admits, Allan l. Benson, Socialist
candidate for President, today made pub
lie letter from Joseph P. Tumulty, sec
retary to the President, to show the Pres
ident will move to have the language of
the bill changed.
The clause to which Mr.. Benson calls
attention provides that in time of war
reserve battalions shall take the place of
those at the front and says IF for any
reason there shall not be enough volun-
tary enlistments to keep the reserve bat
talions at the prescribed strength a suf-
fiCient number of the unorganized militia
shall be drafted into the service Of the
United States to maintain each Of such
battalions at the required strength"
The letter from Secretary Tumulty was
in reply to one written by V. D. Fowler,
Of Hot Springs. Ark, who, at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Benson, asked whether the
army bill contained a draft clause.

What Soldiers Eat

The principal meal of the Russian peas
ant soldier consists of "stchee,'' sort
of cross between Cruel and soup, the
chief ingredients of which are cabbages,
potatoes, oatmeal, and fat meat-pre-
ferably pork. These are all boiled to-
gether with salt and other seasoning, the
resultant mess beng a thick, nourishng,
and by no means unpalatabic dish.
This constitutes his usual midday meal,
and it is repeated in the evening for sup
per. For breakfast he takes, when no
can get it, a big bowl of "kasha''-dry
bucRwheat and cold sour milk.
The staple diet of the 'Turcos"-the
splendid French-Algerian colored troops
who are fighting so magnificently in AL
sace-is "coucous," which is merely boiled
semolina. 1t is eaten either plain, or with
the addition of vegetables, and very occa-
sionally a little mutton or goat flesh
may be added; but the semolina is the
mainstay. On this Turco will march
40 or more miles day, carrying
weight of from so to 100 pounds, more
than is borne by any other soldier any
where.
Italian soldiers are also splendid
marchers, and they, too, exist largely on
farinaceous diet; macaroni, spaghetti
and so. They are also very partial to
fruit, which is issued, together with wine
and cigars, as part of their regular "a :
tons whenever possible.
No German considers his daily menu
complete without sausage or some
kind or other, and the "hiGhef II IS

CENTRAL POWERS BITTERLY
OPPOSE PEACE CONGRESS

Zurich, Swift, March S1.-(Special
Correspondence of the Associated
Press)-How peace will be made, in a
great congress, or by separate treaties,
is a question attracting more and more
attention among international jurists
in both groups of belligerents; though
perhaps more especially in Germany.
There Englands determination to pre-
vent the conclusion of separate peace
treaties meets with the bitterest OPP
position. A congress on the lines of the
famous gathering in Vienna just over
century ago, would, it is argued, be
fatal to the interests of Germany. For
the central powers separate peace
treaties are held to be absolutely nee
essary.
One of the most famous German au-
thorities on international law. Privy
Councillor Professor Karl Binding, who
has devoted much attention to what he
calls the technique of peace" and who
is firm opponent of all ideas of peace
congresses, says Germany and her al
lies would be hopelessly outvoted in
such deliberations, and what the SOL
diers have won the diplomatists would
lose.
According to the English proposals,
all the belligerents would participate
in the congress. Thus there would be
on one side, England, France, Belgium,
Russia, Italy, Servia, Montenegro and
Janpan and IN the other side only
Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey. Eight votes against four.
England would have all the majority
on her side including the Japanese.
Professor Binding thinks it highly
probable that England would seek to
smuggle America into the congress as
reward for her benevolent neutral
ity" Naturally the central powers
would not permit this, he says, as it
would actually make zone more oppo-
nent for them"
He continues:
IF the English say No separate
peace the Germans must say Only
separate peace. Their plan must be to
make separate peace as quickly as pos

Athens, April spondence
of the Associated Press Count Mer-

travelled in Europe and America, is
now active as the leader of move

while many Greeks have a pretty clear
idea of the United States from having
lived there, very few Americans have
any clear conception of modern Greece.
IGNORANCE is COSTLY
The worst of it is that what the
Americans don't know about modern
Greece costs them money Take the
Greek marbles, for instance. ~ great
deal of Greek marble is used in the
United States, but it is generally
bought, not in Greece, but in England,
and middleman's prof it is paid on
the transaction.

coast of Asia Minor. Naxos is the only
place where the natural stone can be
had. And the price has gone up in
consequence from $26 to $50 for large
stones. That is the price in Greece.
What it is in the United States, I do
not know, but considering that the
emery stone. like the marble, is mar
keted in America through England it
is probably considerably more.
Il doubt if it is generally known in
the United States that the district
around Saloniki produces about $780,

course. Greek olives are well known,
but not so widely marketed in the
United States as might be.

Greek tobacco also is fairly well
known in the United States, but not
at all as Greek tobacco. Over 16,S00,

Ship Ahoy!" Good News for
the Birmingham District

We note with much qualification the statement that
capitalists who have interests in the great gulf ports
which bound up with the destiny of Birmingham

$400O,000 in sailing vessels which will ply between
Pensacola and Mobile and Central and South American
ports In other words here is the very considerable be-
ginning of merchant marine of OUR OWN one that
will be operated largely for the Birmingham district
The coming back of the sailing vessel is one of
the unexpected results Of the world The urgent
demand for cargo carriers has not only brought hun
dreds of ships and barks out of their graveyards in
the bypors but has stimulated the building of square
rugged sailing vessels well schooners Many of
these being equipped with auxiliary engines to be
used in of head winds and calms. AS their oper-
alton is much less expensive than that of the asteam
ship, they be used to develop trade under cond
lions which would bar the steamer. The Birmingham
district is distinct gamer by this turn in maritime
commerce
