July contracts sold up from 1974c to 20.3Sc, closing at 2026c, with the general list closing steady, at an ad- vance of 31 to 36 points.

ENLISTMENT lS
 ONLY FOR THE
 PERI0D OF WAR
With This Made Clear Recruit ing Expected to Be Easier Promotion Assured - Need 367,S6S Volunteers.

Washington, April 12-All men en- listing in the regular army or the National Guard in the present emer- gency were assured, in an announce ment by Secretary Baker today, that they will be kept in service only for the period of the war The action followed a conference between the secretary and President Wilson. In effect this places on a wartime vol unteer basis all men enlisted since war was declared It makes avail able total of 517,se8 places in the enlisted grades of the two services to men who wish to serve for the war only.
 MT. Baker stressed the fact that this action was planned when the ad- ministration bill was framed and is not compromise resulting from op- position to the draft feature of the bill. It has been emphasized that the administration war army bill is only an emergency measure.
 "I stand firmly and unalterably in support of that bill," Secretary Baker said, without modification of it's least detail"
 Hearings on the bill continued be- fore the House military committee to- day and it was decided to hear the last witness Saturday. Administra- tion leaders hope to have considera- tion in the House under way next week.
 The Forces Needed. l Following is a tabulation by the ! War Department of the forces pro- Iposed to be organized in the bill, so arranged as to show the exact num- Der of volunteers, to serve for the duration of the war only, for which provision is made in both the regular army and the National Guard:
 Regular army, exclusive of Philip pine Scouts, at war strength with all increments added, 293,000
 Present strength, 131 ,4G1.
 NOlunIecFS required, 4oi ,oIJ.
 National Guard, including only units now organized:
 At war strength, 329,954.
 Present strength, 123,605.
 Volunteers required, 206,349.
 To replace 15O,0OO officers and men withdrawn from above force to train the first 500,000 selective conscripts, 150,O00
 Total number of volunteers for war service only, 517,868..
 In addition the discharge from the regular army and National Guard of men with dependent relatives and for other causes will create additional vacancies which will be filled by vol- unteers.

RIGID REGULATIONS
 ENFORCED AT CAPITAL

Little Rock, April 13.-On the com mons southwest of the state capitol there are ten khaki tnts sheltering the Beebe company of the 1st Ark, who have been detailed to patrol the state capitol And they are doing 1t thoroughly. The people are becoming accustomed to the regulation, and commend the authorities for the pre- cautions being taken to prevent sus- picious characters from entering the buildings. At night no one is per mitted in the grounds unless he be- longs to the militia, wearing a uni form, or is an employe of the capitol with a pass. Early one morning this week, Adjt. Gen. Lloyd England, commanding the Guard, but wearing civilian attire, tried to enter the building but was not permitted to do so. because he had no pass. No one is permitted at any time to enter by the doors at the north or south ends of the building, and members of the supreme court have been forced to go around to the front entrance. The regulations are rigid and are enforced regardless of the identity of the per-

AMERICAN PORTS
 MAY BE BLOCKADED
Expect Germany to Announce Such Action to Try to Check EXpOrts-French and British Admirals at Washington.

Washington, April 12.-With high British and French naval officers in conference here with American naval officials, definite steps have been taken toward participation of the American navy in the war against Germany. Patrol of the entire At lantic seaboard, reaching southward to the Panama canal zone and pos sibly northward to include Canada, will be the first duty of American warships. With that goes the neces- sity of guarding against the probable extension of the German submarine campaign to include approaches to important American ports.
 British and French ships now on this patrol duty will be withdrawn as soon as the American forces have their lines established. The Ameri- can squadrons will operate from Brit ish and French bases in the South Atlantic wherever necessary.

RIJl CARA AND \ AUSTRIA GROW
 WEARY OF WAR
c..t to Discuss Peace With Sesh Tateute rd Diplomats in Swift lr"rIsnd--May Force Moderate Forms by Germany.

u.hiroton. April 12.-Austrian
 RuIoarian representatives are ', loovoring to approach entente dip , 'amats in Switzerland on the subject Of peace.
 Press dispatches today reporting Bulgarian efforts in this line develop .I tbe fact that it is known here not .slv that Bulgaria has taken sound w ,an. hut also that there has been similar action in the name of Austria Hungary. Whether the two countries pro working separately or together IS mi known, nor has any reference bsen made to Germany or Turkey.
 Officials here see in the Austrian ,rd Bulgarian action merely an ex- 0,ossion of weariness of war and ,nyiety to bring it to an end, without, however, any indication of despera- tion which would make them propose trms acceptable to the entente. As a result there is every evidence that the informal efforts now being made merely are step in the long road that will eventually lead to peace, and do not offer hope of real negotiations in the near future.
 Must State Their Terms.
 This opinion is strengthened by the fact that the entente diplomats have not accepted the suggestions made to them for private conversations, but have indicated that they will not go into any such discussion blindfolded. They have left the impression that they stand on the general principles erunciated by their governments that ihe entente nations will not enter a peace conference until their enemies have made public their terms.
 Independent soundings by Austria and Bulgaria even if entirely tenta- tive, have attracted interest here, however, as showing the dissatisfac- ton of those two governments with the course of the war and their ap- parent anxiety to negotiate directly and not through the medium of Ger many As both these countries are reported to be more eager for peace than Germany a degree of hope is felt that they may force Germany to more moderate stand and bring the day of ultimate peace nearer.

Grasset of the French navy are in Washington conferring with Sec retary Daniels, Admiral Benson, chief of naval operations, and other officers of the American navy.

WITHDRAWAL OF
 DIPLOMATS ARRANGED
AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRIA HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO MAKE
 ARRANGEMENTS.

Washington Feb 27 Complete ar
 engagements for the withdrawal of American diplomatic and consular of ficers from Austria-llungary have been made by Ambassador Pentield ou instructions from the state de- partment It was learned today that the ambassador had been directed to take this step. the belief at the depart-
 ment being that break in relations is inevitable
 The Spanish government has been asked to take over American inter. ests and plans have been made t0 expedite the withdrawal of all Amer jeans if the break occurs
 The last report from Ambassador Penfield suggested a slight possibility that Austria's reply to this govern ments request for a definition of her attitude in the submarine situation might be favorable. No real hope was raised here. however and no change in instructions followed.
 Pending a reply the Austrian situa tion will remain in the same indefinite state which has characterized 1t since the day of the rupture with Germany
 The state department recently no tfied the Austrian embassy here that Count TarndSski. the new Austrian ambassador, could not presen' his ere dcutials to President Wilson until the issue between the two countries i4 cleared up
 The withdrawal of the American diplomatic and consular corps from Austria will not present as difficult a problem as in the case of Germany The embassy force at Vienna is small | er and there are only about twelve | consults in the dnal empire Latest official reports indicate there are less than fifty native Americans there who ! would return to the United States in l case of break
