 Ordered Relieved by Baker

Washington, November 2o.-A tele- graphic protest from Governor Catts of Florida, as to the crowded conditions at the hospital at Camp Wheeler, Macon. Ga, where Florida troops are training, resulted in the transfer of many patients to hospitals at other points. Secretary Baker immediately took the question up with Surgeon General Gorgas, who found the hospital was congested.
 Since that time, Mir. Baker said today. nothing has been called to his attention by the medical corps or by any one else indicating any complaint with the treat ment of troops or any unusual amount of sickness at any of the camps.
 An ample supply of overcoat material for all troops is now at hand, MT. Baker said, and as fast as the coats can be made up they will be distributed to all army units that have not received them. Troops In colder climates are first supplied, but all soon will be fitted out.

MORE TRANSFERS IN THE MILITARY POLICE UN|TBE|NGRUMORED.
Newspapers Hereafter Will Not Publish Arrival of Guns and Supplies at
 Camp Sheridan

Montgomery, November 2O.-(speciaD Following the transfer of Col. $. B. stanbery from the Camp Sheridan mill tary police to the 145th infantry Mon day many rumors have been started at Camp Sheridan about other transfers of commissioned officers from the military police. Maj w. H. Parker, chief or stan, Tuesday declared that he knew nothing about reports, but said the mil itary police would be kept an efficient organization.
 Col. Tom o. Crossen, former command CT of the old Seventh Ohio infantry, re- ported to division headquarters for ms work as commander of the military po- lice Tuesday, but the change had not been formally made and he will not take up the duties until Colonel Stanbery has re- tired.
 Colonel Crossen would not discuss the various reports. but declared that he was under orders of the division head quarters and would do whatever he was instructed to do.
 Following heavy rains during the first part of the week, work was re- stunned by the Ohio division Tuesday and during the week chief interest will center about instructions in bomb throwing, trench work and gas de- fense. Many men have already received instructions in the art of resisting gas attacks. The work has reached such 2 point that mask may be placed on the head and adjusted in less than 10 seconds.
 Because of the voluntary censorship of newspapers no further information will be published about the arrival of guns and supplies for the division nor will detailed information be given out about work in the division. Newspa- pers will continue to publish the na- ture of instructions but will not at tempt to show how certain duties are performed, nor to give the mechanical constructions of war instruments.

ADMINISTRATION
 WILL NOT ASK FOR
 CHANGE IN DRAF I
Law Will Not Be Amended So as to Include Men Reaching 21 Since
 Passage
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November 20-(Specialo To members of Congress, acting in re- ponse to inquiries from constituents, Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, has said that during the next session of Congress, beginning December 3, the administration would ask for no change in the 21-31 age limits of the draft regu- lations.
 This statement of the Secretary Is in direct contravention to the insistence of Gen. S. M. B. Young, president of the League for Universal Military Train ing, and the support of that insistence by ex-President Theodore Roosevelt. These distinguished men have urged that every young man as old as l9 years be enrolled for service.
 According to congressman who have received the above assurance from the Secretary, the administration feels that from the 9,000,000 men subject to the operation of the draft, the government vii, receive as many for service as can be accommodated. The administration is convinced that until at least 6oo,000 of the 100000 are armed and equipped, there will be no necessity for the en- rollment of additional men.
 It is indicated by the Secretary that contemplated legislation requiring the enrolment of young men who have reached the age of 19 since the promul- gation of the draft regulations will not be opposed with the understanding that such men enrolled shall not be callad to arms. The administration has not given it's formal sanction to universal military training, but it is obvious that such legislation will be attempted early in December.
 Such legislation would require every young man te devote so many months each year to the manual of arms. It would result in, it is admitted, the transformation of the country into a permanently armed camp ready for any emergency of the future.

By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington. November 2o.-(Special) ) All speculation in butter and eggs has been eliminated, permitting these prod ucts to go in as direct a line as pos- sble from the producer to consumer, tives of the butter and egg exchanges oe the nation and the United States fcod administration.
 Following conference a set of rules governing transactions on the ex- changes was adopted. The agreement is for the duration of the war.
 Rule 1 provides that any goods bought on the "cali' cannot be offered fer re- sale during the same session.
 Rule provides that goods sold on the "call' must be of the grade of fered, and actual deliveries must be made.
 Rule 3 provides that request for any grade or quantity may be made during the "call.' provided no price is specified by the party making the re- quest, but bids at a price for grades and quantity not offered are prohibited.
