Washington, April l2--All men en-
listing in the regular army or the ma
tional guard in the present emergency
We're assured in an announcements by
Secretary Baker today they would be
kept in service only for the period of
the War The action followed n con-
ference between the secretary and
President Wilson.
In effect this places on war time

the state of war was declared. 1t
makes available a total of 5lT. 1865

for the war only.
At Wars End.
Mr.. Baker laid stress on the fact
that this action was contemplated
when the administration bin was
framed and was in no way to be con =
as a result of opposition to the draft
feature of the bill In fact the sccrc-
tary pointed out that the net result
Of the application of the war enlist
ment plan would be to leave the ma
tion without army of amy sort. regular
beyond tho enlisted terms of men now
in those services. Tho whole force
would then be discharged and the ad-
| ministration apparently expects that a
new peacc-timc military policy, found =
ed on universal service, will have been
oracted by that time.
1t has been emphasized that the ad
ministration war army bill is only an
emergency measure.
| Il stand firmly and unaltcrably IN
support of that bill" Secretary Baker
said, without modification Of it's least
detail"

fore the house military committee to-
day and it was decided to hear tho

those two governments with the
course of the war and their anxiety
to negotiate directly and not through
the medium of Germany. AS both
these countries are reported to be
more eager for peace than their more
powerful ally, some hope Is felt that
their exigcncios may force Germany to
a more moderate stand and bring the
day of ultimate peace nearer.
The recent public statement of
Count Czernin, Austrian minister for
foreign affairs, that the central pow
ers still stood ready for a conference.
and the widespread comment upon it
in the press were interpreted here to
indicate n growing desire for peace in
the central empires. Similar state
mcnts by Bulgarian leaders strength
ened this viewpoint.
Effect Of Revolution.
! Austria Is known to have been af-
fectcd by war WEAKNESS and by the
/ huSSEln feNOlutlOn. IL Is generally
felt there that the central empires have
reached the maximum of their military
strength and it is feared the upheavai
across the border may find a decided
echo among Austria's conglomerate
and disa ffected peoples. Food condi-
tions. though satisfactory in agrarian
Hungary, are serious in industria |
Austria and enthusiasm among the
people has fallen off. Bulgaria like
wise is troubled by food shortage and
the Russian revolution. The latter
has brought again to the surface the
and has injected into the question the
decision of the ruling class to fight
against their liberator.

Profit by British Errors
Lloyd George Urges u. S.
Premier Celebration of Entry of u S. Says This Coun-

Prussia and Predicts Beneficent Peace.

London, April 12.-As the first Brit
ish prime minister to salute the
American nation as comrades in arms
David Lloyd George. Englands great
democratic leader, speaking before a
notable assembly brought together by
the American Luncheon club today,
aroused intensest enthusiasm by his
scathing denuncation of Prussia and
his warm welcome of America as an
ally in the war.
The advent of the United States
into the war;. he said, gives the final
stamp to the character of the conflict
as a struggle against military autoc-
racy throughout the world" -
1t was a stirring day, for the talk
ing up of arms by America was cele-
brated by two notable assemblages, one
under the auspices of the American
| Luncheon club and smother a dinner
| by the Pilgrims club in honor of the
American ambassador, Walter Hines

Viscount Bryce, the former ambas-
sador at Washington, presided at the
dinner to Mr.. Page and delivered an
eloquent grafton.
| Premier Lloyd Georges ringing
. words struck a responsive chord
I among those present There were
oasts to the president of the United
States and the king of England and a
wonderful display of rejoicing over the
sealing of the bond of friendship be-

1.-The United States of America by ;

clared the premier. That it has mad,

WOMEN NCANF|GHT

Secretary Lane Urges Con-

couragement of Men.

Washington, April 12.-Women can
do "a good so per cent in fighting the
war;" in the opinion of Secretary
Lane, by conserving food and en-
couraging patriotism among the men.
He sent this telegram today in re-
sponse to query from the General
Federation of Womon's Clubs, in con-
women can do for the country:
"Thc women of America can do no

own fruit, prevent waste in their
homes and give impulse and enthusi~ y

do this they will be doing a good so

The arrangements already under
way for the building of ships by the

absolute assurance Of victory was to
