All Safeguards Of Science and Medi-
cine Will Be Thrown Around Train
ing Camps-Tells of the Great Stops
Forward That Have Been Taken In
What the government promises to
the great army Of young men being
called to the colors and to their fathers
and mothers has been outlined by Sec
rotary of War Baker.
ut is provided in the law that when
these armies are assembled there shall
be no difference between the regular,
the national guard and the national
army" said the secretary. But every
man, whether he has had training In
the regular army or not, whether he
has had training i'll the guard or not,
whether he be q member Of the selec-
tive national army, is equal in dignity,
in responsibility and In opportunity, a
member Of the army Of the United
States.
"There will be preserved that Just
pride which the people of our several
states have in their own soldier boys,
so that the soldier from New York will
be known as q part of the contribution
of this great commonwealth to our ma
tional strength and the soldier from
Wisconsin and from Ohio and from
Texas equally designated, but the eyes
Of the country in all that is done for
them and in oil that they do for us
there is to be neither distinction nor
prejudice nor favoritism, but they
stand equal as the servants and as the
upholders Of our liberties.
Amusements Planned.
Modern times have witnessed many
new things. The great science of med
icine and sanitation has wonderfully
advanced, and all the safeguards that
knowledge and science can throw
around III soldiers is to be placed
about them. And in these great en-
campments where they are to be train
ed modern recreation experts are to
provide wholesome and attractive
amusements for their leisure, SO that
when they come out Of the army they
will have no scars except those honor
ably won in warfare against the enemy
of their country"
Mr.. Baker assumed the war portfolio
with the reputation Of a pacifst. There
are many public men who still regard
him as too much Of a paci6st to admin
lister the war department efficiently in
time of war. The secretary is bent
upon confounding these doubling souls.
lie may be a pacifst, but he believes
this war is a righteous war, being
fought to bring the world nearer uni
versal peace.
I'm 1776. on the 4th day of July, a
nation was born, dedicated to a new
theory of government and a new ideal
Of human liberty" he said. ION the

MILLER HUGGINs' PRIDE.

Predicts Sensational Career For "Mule"
Watson, Cardinals Young Pitcher.
Miller Higgins is proud Of the fact
that he discovered "Mule" Watson. one
of the Cardinals young pitchers. Wat
son wandered into Higgins camp last
summer and proceeded to pitch several
high class games. But his success was
pronounced a fash in the pan, the st.
Louis critics declaring that he lacked
the necessary headwork.
Watson, however, is back again with
the Cardinals and is pitching with the
same results. In addition to his ire
mendous strength, Mule is sizing up
enemy hitters as if he had been a Car
dinal for many years: Higgins is
coaching the big fellow every day and
predicts q sensational career for him.

The Ocean Floor.

The ocean does not sink into the
earth owing to the fact that there is
a kind Of substance at the bottom
of the ocean which the water ran
not penetrate, insspite Of the tremen-
dous pressure which the great body Of
deep water exerts. In all places where
the bottom of the ocean has a covering
which water car sink into it does so,
but there are such a few places where
this is possible, by comparison, that
the amount that gets out that way is
not noticeable, says the Book Of Won
ders. This water, If it can keep on 60
Ing, will eventually reach the inside Of
the earth, where 1t Is red hot. and is
turned into steam.

CHINA OBJECTS TO
U. S. AGREEUENT
Protests to Japan Over the
New Treaty.

Toxic, Nov. 1.-THE Chinese minis
ter, Chang Tsung Hsing, on Friday
presented to the Japanese foreign
minister, Viscount Motono, note pro-
testing against the understanding ar
rived at between Japan and the Unit
ed States in regard to China.
The Japanese-American agreement
has been received here with satisfac-
ton, but without enthusiasm. The
announcement caused decline in the
market, possibly because no mention
was made of economic affairs in the
notes exchanged. The press as
whole expresses approval on the
ground that friction between Japan
and the United States will be ended.
good deal of space is devoted to
discussion of the practical application
of the passage limiting Japan's action
in China. The Nichi Nichi Shimbun
alone objects to the arranement, say
ing it is one-sided because it does not
deal with Mexico and South America.
Marquis Okuma former premier,
and Viscount Kato, ormer foreign min
lister, are quoted as saying that Amer
lea has assented merely to what has
long been recognized by other pow
ers.
The Japanese Times says the name
Of Secretary Lansing will mark an
epoch and will command the highest
respect in Japan on account of his eff
forts in bringing about an agreement.
