STUDY WAYS
TO GET ARMY

WASHINGTON, April 5. -
Means of registering all single
men between the ages of 20 and
23 fixed under the universal train
ing bill and those to be exempted
were discussed today by the eXecu-
tive council of the committee on
labor of the National Defense
Council.
Cooperation with state and mu.
nicipal governments toward &C.
complishing this work will be
sought under general plans of state
aid in placing the government on
war footing.
1t apparently is the intention OF
the war department to aim for an
army with 100000 men as its
first object, the men to be raised
in increments of 100000 as rapid
ly as they can be differed ant
trained. All single men in the
early 20's will be subjected to the
first draft.

GERMANS BITTER
IN Condemnation

the German government will not
lessen German anger, because 1t Is
untrue and dishonest and Wilson
knows it.
"PerfidiOus"
History records no war like
this, of a whole people fighting
for their existence in a war created
by the hatred and grudge of the
whole world"
Those who formerly doubted
President Wilson's bad faith know
better now" declared the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung.
His efforts to disassociate
the German government from the
people are perfidious.
His statement that the kaiser
started the war for dynasic rea-
sons apparently was made at Eng
lands command"
Answering President Wilson'S
remarks as to the difference
between the German government
and the people," the Berliner
Tageblatt commented:
I'VE cite the fact that hundreds
of thousands of critics of the Ger
man regime are fighting in the
trenches doing their duty to the
fatherland.
1--WE trust the American people
will discern Wilson's error and
that this unjust quarrel between
America and Germany will be set
tied before all Others"
