Secretary Baker said to. night that as thousands of overcoats are being delivered daily, the supply soon will be sufficient for the men vet to he called.
 With one or two exceptions. the cantonments are nearly completed. and as the plans call for more buildings than are necessary to house the mum Der of men drafted as yet, there will be plenty of room even before all bar racks are finished.
 The men at the northern canton ments were fully supplied with over coats immediately on their arrival. At some of the southern cantonments this was not considered necessary because or milder weather. Since winter has set in. however. full clothing equip ment for the men will be provided be- lore they are mobilized.

Addington Continues
 Fight for His Freedom

Montaomery. November 1i,-CSpe- cial. )-Jacob l.. Addington, who was convicted in Jefferson county of oo- taining the signature of a woman to mortgage by representing himself to be an attorney, must continue ms fight for freedom although the court of appeals decided there was not sut- ficient evidence against him and de- nied the states application for rehear~ ing Tuesday. Perry w. Turner assist ant attorney general Wednesday stated that the attorney generals department will file with the supreme court q pe- titfon for writ of certforari directing the court of appeals to change it's de csion
 Addington has been in the limelight more than a year. It was charged that he represented himself to be an at torney and competent to defend the woman's son, who had been arrested, and on the strength of the representa- tion obtained the womans signature to mortgage. The court of appeals at first affirmed the sentence and Adding ton carried it to the supreme court, which refused to interfere, but in the opinion suggested that there was not sufficient evidence against him.
 The personnel of the court of appeals then changed and just before adjourn ment last June the court withdrew tho certificate of affirmance and reversed the case. Addington was freed, but the state asked the court of appeals for another hearing which has now been denied.
