Figures Are Accurate.
The figures cited herewith are based
upon the highest and most accurate
sources Of information. From this same
source it is possible for the United
Press today to detail this history of
Germany's mobilization efforts
Before the war, the German army
contained fifty-one divisions Of sTO,-
900 men. Mobilization at the declara-
tion OF war of all who had previous
military training brought the total
to 1900. 900.
But these were insufficient. The
Eratz reserve, 100000 strong, was
modified OF men whose physical con-
dition was a trifle under normal army
standard. Then the class OF 1914 was
called out-45O, 900 men who became
twenty years old in that year.

Congressman Campbell, Republican
leader Of the committee, added that
certain persons already had sought to
testify before a House committee in

The Rules Committee, said Pou, had
concluded no member OF Congress had

Congressman Cooper declared that
despite Helms denial of statements
attributed to him, newspaper men
were willing to testify under oath

to raise a question of veracity be-
tween q member OF Congress and the

Earlier in the cay the correspon-

Pou concluded that when Heflin
had said certain members had act

the bills and resolutions, which they
had introduced, did not meet Hef-
