Washington, June 2-Important re-
visions in the plan for training the
war army have been made by the war
department, which announced today
that the half million men to be called
to the colors in September will be
concentrated in sixteen cantonmsnts
instead Of thirty-two. and that many
Of the forces probably would ba put
into tents instead Of wooden barracks.
Lack Of funds. material. labor and
transportation facilities. Secretary

number Of cantonments. The prevt-
Gus plan to build thirty-two Of the
camps was reached. it was explained.

army officials have preferred tenttnG
from the start.
All Of the guard units will have
been drafted into service by August 5.
That does not mean, however. that all
will have been ordered to divisional
training camps at that time. Presum-
ably the best equipped and recruited
forces will be made ready first for
duty abroad. but there has bssn no
announcement as to the process to be
followed.
The task Of building a cantonmsnt
is big one. Miles Of roads. water,
sewer and light construction must be
put in. More than 1000 buildings
must be erected in each camp, and
railway connections must be estab-
lished. To begin the Simultaneous

NOR diplomatic agent in Berlin has
published letter in the Cologne Ga
zette charging that the United States
coerced Liberia into breaking of dip
lomatic relations with Germany.
No coercion was exercised by the

attributal to other causes than pres

But Department of Justice
Will See that New Law
is Enforced.

Washington, June 2.-1n an omciai
announcement today. Attorney Gsner-
al Gregory renewed attention to the
provision Of the army draft law
which provides that no man can
choose imprisonment as a substitute
for registration. but will suffer the
first and be compelled to do the latter
IL he resists.
''It has come to the notice Of the
department" said the attorney gener-
al, that disloyal citizens who are
themselves beyond the conscription
age. are suggesting to the young men
of the country that 1t Is better to suf-
fer imprisonment under the terms Of
the conscription act than to register
with the likelihood Of being enlisted
and compelled to serve at the front.
Attention is called to the fact that
under section Of this act, parties
convicted on the charge of evading
registration are not only punished for
the crime committed, but are there
upon duly registered with all the lia-
bility for military service resulting
therefrOm."
