URGES CENSUS
OF DRAFT ARMY
Madden Suggests to Wilson
That Men Trained in Metal
Trades Be Saved.
Special Despdfeh 10 TuB Sun

WARRINGTON, Oct. "A new appor-
tionment Of men drafted for service In
the National Army is regarded as prob
able as the result Of suggestions made
to the President Representative Mad
den Ullinois) is largely responsible for
the suggestions. Under its workings,
Mr.. Madden believes. the greatest
economy to the nation would be effected.
The President i. understood to have
been favorably impressed.
The plan is to make a careful census
Of the calllngs Of all Of the men en-
rolled in the new draft army and Of the
men enrolled IN subsequent calls. Those
men trained and skilled In various
trades. particularly the metal trades.
could be furloughed to engage in the
manufacture Of munitions.
Utilizing trained men in the trades
essential to the efficiency OF the army at
the front, 1t was suggested, would make
them Of more value than putting them
into the combatant arms of the service
Assuming that all of the men are equally
unframed SO far as the purposes of the
army are concerned, the man ursk!lled
III any u SSuIi pSsS sNi 'S os '''N
front
The skilled man would be Of Just as
much value at the front as the unskilled
man. II was pointed out to the Presl'
dent but OF far greater service in tht
successful prosecution OF the war X h!S
special training was utilized.
Mr.. Madden also declared that In the
course Of the war men skilled in trade:
necessary to the manufacture Of NUM-
tons might be killed off in such grea
numbers that II would be impossible
adequately to man the munition plants
| This would leave a part of the Amer!
can forces unsupplied and worse thar
| useless at the front.
! The suggestion is merely to furlougl
! these men and not to release them iron
| military duty. In that way it IL he

| that fewer men were needed for turning

Tammanys story is that the President

JAPS DELAY CHINA'S
DECLARATION OF WAR
B4 RALPH II. TURNER.
L nited Press Correspondent.D

TOKYO. April 12-lBy MaiD-ActuAl
participation by China with the allies
in the war against Germany is being
delayed by Japan's attitude towards
three proposals made BY China to the
allies
This statement may be made on the
authority of members Of the constitu-
tional opposition TO the Terauchi min
istry and is based upon admissions
by high Japanese officials.
Chinese diplomats. in pressing the
three proposals, are showing them
selves more astute than in some OF
their former diplomatic dealings. in
which they make declaration of war
contingent upon the acceptance of these
proposals.
But the date is not far distant when
the Picking government actually will
join hands with the entente powers
and the United States in an actual state
Of warfare against the Teutons.
Allied diplomats in Picking who have
been urging China to enter the war
would prefer TO consider her three re-
quests apart from the main issue OF
Tjoining them in the conflict.
China's three conditions are:
A revision Of Chinas customs reve-
Postponement of payment of the
Boxer indemnities, and
Cancellation of the rule which pro-
hibits Chinese soldiers entering for
eign concessions at Tientsin.
China, 1t is definitely known. made
these proposals when the decision 70
break with Germany was reached on
March IA. President l. Huan-hung
and his cabinet consider it vital that
these three propositions be settled IA
vorably before China declares war.
Right here is where Japan enters
with her objections. While the other
entente nations seem ready TO agree
to most or all of these propositions.
Japan considers them such as seriously
affect her welfare. BUSINESS inter
ests which oppose an increase in
China's customs revenues would vio-
lently oppose any act OF the Terauchi
government granting such increase.
Opponents of the government say
the government is likely to grant
China's demands. but is waiting until
after the Lotions of April 20 in order
not TO endanger its success in winning
the backing OF the house of represent
atives. In the elections of AprH 20
the Terauchi government was upheld
by vote of 2I6 to 1859
At recent conference of allied dip
lomats at Picking. they discussed
Chinas propositions and the result
was favorable TO China. but Japanese
representatives pleaded for more time.
