NEGRO TROOPS
Leave HOUSTON

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. 25.-The ne
gro soldiers of the Gath infantry who
Thursday night took part in shooting
in the streets that killed II persons,
were taken from here and started to
ward Columbus, N. NJ. early today.
Among them were the thirty-four men
charged by District Attorney John H.
Crocker. The entire 633 members of
the battalion which came here four
weeks ago to guard Camp Logan dur
ing construction were entrained by
daybreak and shortly after, the train
started westward.
With the arrival today of Major
General George Bell, Jr., investigation
of the shooting is expected to begin.
The departure of the battalion for
Columbus, n. NJ. early today appre-
ciably lessened the tension in Hous-
ton although from the hour the author
tiles took firm hold of the situation,
there had been little fear of any
serious trouble.
Captain l.. S. Snow did not accom-
pany the battalion as he has been de-
tailed as major to the national army
camp at F't. Smith. Ark. He said that
while no charges had yet been pre-
ferred against the more than one hun
dred men who marched through the
San Felipe district shooting at ran
dom, they might be very serious"

general political debate, and the

considering economic problems. The
situation Friday morning may be epi-
tomized as follows:
Majority Is Satisfied.
The supplementary statement made
by the chancellor. definitely explain
ing his position on the Reichstag peace
resolution, has satisfied the majority
parties, which are convinced that the
chancellor since rely is endeavorine
to achieve peace reconciliation on a
compromise, and, further has agreed
to work on Gernany's reply to the
papal note in active conjunction with
the main committee, or its newly
created subcommittee, to be made up
OF seven members of the Reichstag,
who are to confer confidentally with
the government on matters OF foreign
policy.
This new committee will consist of
two socialist democrats. two centrists,
one national liberal, one conservative
and one Progressive Peoples party

make this smaller unit permanent

bestow upon it functions greater than

LEN|ENCY URGED
FOR BENEDICTS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25. - Presi-
dent Wilson has written Secretary
Baker expressing the view that the
drafting of married men who are
heads Of families should be carefully
examined to avoid it if possible, and
expressing the view that single men
should be taken where it is possible.
Observation-Disclosures Crowder is
comforting with Secretary Baker on
the suggestions made by President
Wilson in his letter, and a statement
en- the subject will be issued later.
AS the President Is empowered by
the draft law to make the regulations
under which it will be carried out, the
effect of his letter to Secretary Baker
is to throw his influence toward a
more liberal policy for exemption Of
married men than heretofore has been
pursued by the provost marshal gen.
erals office.
1t is no secret that the Presidents
view Is in open conflict with the In.
depreciation placed at present upon
the law by the army officers who are
administering it. They contend that
as the history Of the law shows that
congress voted down amendments TO
exempt married men they have no
legal authority to exempt them except
on the grounds Of dependency alone.
President Wilson's view, as forecast
In his recent letter to Senator Weeks
is that the taking of married men and
heads of families should be avoided at
least on the first draft.
The Presidents letter probably will
be made public later by Secretary
Baker.
