DENIES DISIOYALTY.
Insists He Wants to Help America
Win War.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Colonel Carl
Reichmann, whose nomination as
brigadier-general has been held up,
specifically denied before a senate
military sub committee yesterday that
he had ever said that the army draft
law would be so unpopular as to
cause civil war, or that German sub
marine warfare was justified under
international law, or that American
troops should not be sent to France.
REGARDING the charge that he had
defended German air raids on Eng
land, and particularly one In Whlch
children in a school-house were
killed, Colonel Reichmann explained
that in a discussion of the raids ne
asked a companion whether Engl1sh
air raids on Zeebrugge. Belgium, were
any more justified.
The colonel said he believed, from
both a military and personal point
of view that troops should be sent TO
France, and that neither his German
parentage nor the residence OF TWO
sisters in Germany would influence MS
conduct if he should be placed In
charge Of troops on the firing line
He was as anxious to help win the
war for America, he asserted, as any
other American ofacer.
In no sense, the colonel insisted
could it be argued that he was more
loyal to Germany than to America or
that his sympathies were stronger for
Germany.
The committee, which Is sitting IN
executive session, expects to call sew
eral witnesses named by Colone
Reichmann and by Senator Poindex-
| ter, as we'll as persons who have writ
| ten letters to the committee regarding
! the case. It Is likely that the hear
| ings will last for several days.

FORD SUED FOR $1,5OO,OOO.
Concern Accused of Not Keeping Cor
StructiOn Contract.

AA>ON-~A
struction Contract.
New York, Aug. 25.-According to
an announcement in the Hotel Review
yesterday, Thomas D. Green, proprie-
tor of the Hotel Woodward, has
brought $1,500,000 damage suit
against the Ford Motor Company of
Detroit, Mich. The complaint was
filed in the Federal Court there.
Mr.. Green alleges that early in 1916
he entered into an agreement with the
Ford concern whereby it was to erect
an extension to the Hotel Woodward
on the northeast corner Of Broadway
and Fifty fifth Street. The hotel was
to lease 800 rooms for 21 years and
the Ford Company was to use the
first, second and third floors and the
basement for exhibiting and selling
cars.
The complaint says that after the
plans had been drawn, the excavation
completed and the fittings engaged
the Ford company decided not to COM
plete the work.

MAY Be DRAFTED
Men Passing 81 Since June'5 May
Be Excused

Washington, Aug. 25.-A move to
: extend the draft law to males who
have recently become 81 years old is
on foot at the war department. This
action, il approved. would be pre-
sented to congress by the president.
That body would be asked to pass
legislation providing for the military
registration Of all men who have
u. reached their 21st year as well as for
stopping the liability Of all men who
have passed their 31st birthday since
June 5.
Indians who are not citizens will
not he called in the draft according
to a ruling Of the provost marshal
general They are wards of the gov
eminent, the ruling states. and as
such not subject to military service.
Men who have moved from their
: place OF residence on registration day
will not be compelled to pay their
transportation back to the place of
registration when called to report for
mobilization in the new National
Army This ruling was made by Gen.
Crowder in respect to men who have
left New York and other cities where
they originally registered and have
moved such a distance that the cost
of transportation would be an I'M
necessary hardship.
:. In a telegram sent to state. gov
encrs, Gen. Crowder ruled that all
men who had requested that their
examinations be transferred from the
board Of their original registration to
some other board in the jurisdiction
Of which they are now living are en-
titled to request that they be ordered
10 report to their nearest mobiliza-
Siun camp instead of the camp they
would have been assigned to.
Food an1 refreshments for the men
who will De transported by train to
cantonne nts beginning Sept. will be
provided by Ped Cross chapters
throughout the country, under orders
issued by Red Cross headquarters
OF, request Of Secretery Baker.
, At all points where troop trains
stop or transfers are made women
will be ready with sandwiches, coffee,
sa usages, cold beef buns and pie and
special arrangements will be made for
sick men.
Secretary Baker has directed that
the Red Cross be informed of all
troop movements. The Red Cross al
ready has issued to it's chapters a
model plan for organization or re-
fseshment units.
To Enroll Dentists.
Gen. Crowder called on all state
governors to inquire into the posi-
bility Of procuring the voluntary SER
vices of dental surgeons TO treat the
teeth Of men called in the National
Army. He pointed out that army reg
sa1tions allow only one dentist to
every thousand men and that the
men being called in the draft will re-
uuire more treatment to bring them
up to physical fitness.
A preliminary step toward testing
the selective draft law in the supreme
court was made when the transcript
of record was filed in the case of the
government against Charles E. Ruth
enberg, Alfred Wagenknecht. and
Charles Baker Of Cleveland, charging
them with violating the draft law.
They were tried and convicted of ad-
visins Alphonse j. Schue not to reg
lister.
Counsel for the convicted men are
expected to file a brief with the

MEASURE AIMED
ATFREEPRESS
PASSES SENATE
Will Absolutely Prohibit Circu|a-
ton Of Papers Barred
From Mails,

WASHINGTON, Sept Platter
brief debate the senate adopted the
conference report on the trading with
the enemy bill, with only six negative
votes Tuesday. The house is ex-
pected to accept the report and send
the measure to the president for his
signature.
Discussion centered upon an
amendment added by the conferees
prohibiting the publication or distri-
button by any means of matter made
nonmailable by the espionage act.
The provision is designed to suppress
entirely publications barred from the
mails. but still circulating by express
or otherwise.
Senator Norris and Cummins pro-
tested vigorously against the action
of the conferees, declaring it would
permit the postmaster general to put
out of business arbitrarily any news
paper, or magazine without giving
reasons. Senators King, Ransdell,
Fletcher and Eardaman upheld the
provision, insisting that publications
violating tha espionage act should not
be permitted to circulate.
The bill, which passed both houses
with little opposition, forbids trad
ing by Americans with enemies or
allies of enemies, provides for a GUS
todian Of enemy funds, for regulation
of foreign insurance companies, for
licensing foreign language news
papers, for censorships of all foreign
communication, and authorizes the
president to embargo imports.
