failing to register on last June will
be dealt with more harshly than under

heretofore. will be so listed by local
boa rds AS to insure their call within the

Local boards are directed not to
send the regulation cards of the con-
victed' men to the state adjutant gem

to place them at the top OF the first
class liable for call. Thus the men, it
was pointed out. will forfeit all chances
of the master list rotation. except in
cases where physical condition or the

deferred classification.

TRIED FOR MURDER
Brides Body Found While AL
legged Jealous Woman Eats
With Keyes.

Dedham, Mass. Dec 4.-Mis Har-
riett A. Varney. nurse, was today
placed on trial, accused Of the murder
OF Mrs Pauline A. Reyes, the bride
and former stenographer in the office
of her husband, George H. Reyes, real
estate dealer of Boston jealousy is
the motive alleged.
AT the hour when the body of his
young wife was found by firemen who
had responded for a small blaze in
the Kitchen of the Keyes home in
Brookline. Keyes was lunching in Bos-
ton with Miss Varney and it was the
admittedly intimate friendship between
the two that directed suspicion against
the nurse.
The state alleges that after shooting
his wife, Miss Narney joined Keyes
with the purpose Of establishing an
alibi. Reyes is expected to appear as
one OF the most important witnesses
for the prosecution
Police investigation developed that
the nurse had been known to some as
the wife of Reyes. He was divorced
from his first wife and married his
stenographer 10 months before she war
murdered.

The Americans gave every ounce OF
their strength to this task. both as

GENERALS OPPOSE
BAKERS ARMY PLAN
Pay Allowance Asked Indicates
Provision for Only 1,ooo,-
600 Men in the Line.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 4.-Unless
large deficiency or additional estimates
are submitted later on by the war de-
partment. the appropriations for troops
which congress will make will not be
as large as many advocates of an ag-
gressive war both in and out of the
army. would like to see.
The amount of the appropriation for
pay which are estimated for is pretty
clear index. The estimates call for total
pay and related allsXances for the
army for the next fiscal year of.
$1,000. 933,676. The estimates are those
for $4,000 officers of the line and for
1.20S.S0O enlisted men of the line. These
enlisted men. however. do not include
a large number in certain branches of
service. The total strength of the army,
as estil,liated for. is under 1000, 900,
which is much less than many of the
aggressive officers of the general staff
would like the total to be. It is gener-
ally expected these estimates for pay
Will be added to later and there is a
powerful element in congress which will,

Eotlatlng with the bolsheviki regime for
an armlst1ce and a separate peace Ger
man military authorities have renewed
their campaign to disorganize the Rus
sian army and inoculate the soldiers
with German doctrine.
Gable advices say schools have been
organized in all the German divisions
on the eastern front for the training of
men to be sent out among the Russians.
Three noncommissioned officers and six
priyates are drawn from each division
They are chosen with special reference
to their knowledge of the Russian and
Polsh languages and are instructed re-
garding political conditions in Russia,
lines Of communication in that country
and other facts that might be of value
to them in prosecuting their work
In some quarters this campaign was
interpreted as designed to win over the
soldiers and thus strengthen the leu
tons in their demands for favorable
peace terms. There We're those, how
ever, who saw in the German move
not over optimistic view of the success
of the peace negotiations and desire
to take advantage of the present situa-
ton to SO disorganiZe the Russian army
as to eliminate it as a further menace
during the war.

The wage increase was agreed on by

ment and estimates of what it would
add to the cost of production. They
asked that prices be raised at least 4F
