ganda by the press and by other means

URGES MILITARY TRAINING.
Howard E. Coffin Argues That Sys.
TEN Should Be Universal.

Howard E. Coffin of the advisory COM
mission of the Council of National De-
Tense has given out through the ma
tional committee of Patriotic and De-
Tense Societies an argument for uni
versal military training. He says:
Under a volunteer military system
a country has to be frightened into a
state of hysteria. business has to be
ruined, normal conditions shattered be-
fore an adequate army can be raised
Under a universal military training sys-
tenn normal industrial and social condf-
lions are maintained. A volunteer ARMY
is an emotional army: universal mil
itary army is an army Of sane action"

HOLLAND Is treasured.
U. S. Will Withhold Goods Only in
Extreme Need.

THE HAGUE. Netherlands. April 81.
via London. 1925 p.m.-Announcemen
was made at the foreign Office today
that the Dutch legation in Washington
has been informed by the American
government that only in the case of
extreme need would the United States
resort to prohibition of the exporta-
ton of foodstuffs or metals destined
for Holland. The United States gov
eminent. the Dutch legation was in
formed. is fully cognizant of Hollands
position.
Since the entrance of the United
States into the war it has been re-
ported that the blockade of Germany
would be frightened by strict limitation
of exports to countries whence the ar
ticles affected might be sent to Ger
many.
This has given rise in Holland and
the Scandinavian countries to the fear
that conditions of life there. already
most difficult, might be made still
worse.

CONGRESS TO Be ASKED
FOR MORE BUILDINGS
Extra Work in Connection With War
Makes Need for Additional
Offices Imperative.

The fact that plans are being con-
sidered to ask Congress for an emer-
gency appropriation to erect public
buildings in Washington to care for
the greatly increased demand of office
space as the result of work in connec-
ton with the war, became known last
evening. when permission given White
House employees to use government
land at Pennsylvania avenue and Mad
ison place for a vegetable garden was
withdrawn.
The reason given for this action was
that building operations on this tract
are contemplated in the near future.
The action was a surprise, since the
ment of government officials in their
enterprise and yesterday morning Col
w. w. Harris. in charge of public build
ings and grounds, detailed men to pillow
up the lot.
Byron R. Newton, assistant secretary
of the Treasury, in charge of the erec-
tion of public buildings, last evening
said that the erection of a Treasury
annex had been discussed, and that
since the land opposite the Treasury
which the White House employees
hoped to use was available for such a
building. it had been deemed best to
withdraw the permission to use 1t as
a vegetable garden, rather than have
the clerks run a risk of losing their
crop.
Need for More Office Room.
THE greatly increased demand for
Office room in government depart
is perfectly obvious" said Mr.. Newton,
land the Treasury Department will
need more room to take care of the
increased force Of the internal revenue
office. to collect war taxes.
II have discussed this matter with
the Secretary. and while no conclusion
was reached. it is possible that an an
mex to the department may be erected,
and that it may be built on the site in
question"
Heads of other departments, it was
learned, have been considering means
Of getting extra Office room, and it has
been found that space in private office
buildings in Washington will not be
adequate to meet this demand. 1t was
pointed out that the buildings used, in
many cases. must be guarded just as
the department buildings are guarded.
and many buildings that otherwise
would be available could not be utilized
on this account.
Members of the White House staff
will not abandon their plans for a vege
table garden. Several other lots have
been offered and one of these will be
selected this week.

it profitable, since prices doubtless will
be good, the department declares, but
he will be aiding the country by provid-
ing a product Of high food value when
other sugars are scarce.
