Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, April 27.-Ability to sit in the jury box and look an alien enemy in the face while the strains of bands playing the Star Spangled Banner came through the window, and yet give him a fair trial" was a prime qualification required by the defense in choosing jurors for the trial here today of Captain Franz Rintelen, of the German navy. He is accused with seven others of conspiracy to disrupt the entente allies munitions trade in this country by fomenting strikes.
 In setting up this qualification coun- sel referred to the playing of patriotic airs by bands at recruiting tents in City Hall square outside the court Before the work of getting the jury began, counsel objected to the trial going on at this time on the ground that the spirit of the times would make an impartial trial impossible. How ever twelve men were found who swore they could be fair under all these conditions. The government is said to regard the case as the climax of it's numerous prosecutions of German plots.
 The defendants include former Rep iresentatives H. Robert Fowler and frank Bucnanan, DaVld Lamar and Frank $. MOnnett. It is charged that through Labor's National Peace Coun- cil, alleged to have been maintained by Rintelen, they brought about labor troubles in intuition plants and among higher workers handling shipments. Lamar, known as the wolf of Wan street" brought from Atlanta federal prison, where he is serving a term for lmpersonating a government officer. elected to serve as his own counsel. He objected to being placed on trial | on the ground that he had been kid naped'' by federal officers and brought to court against his protest.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-With en- actment of the selective draft army bill apparently assured, the war depart ment is preparing to set machinery in motion without delay to produce under the measure within two years trained army of 2,000,000 men.
 Within ten days after the bill is signed, every township in the country will be registering it's young men for duty and work will have begun on the sixteen training cantonments or camps where preparation of the forces for war will start in August or September. Sites for the cantonments have been selected tentatively, and all arrange mentS made for the concentration of the troops assigned to each.
 Decentralization of administrative work will be sought by the department in every move it makes Details will not be disclosed until the bill has passed, but it is known that registra- tion will be carried on through sher- ifs and other county officials aided by postmasters or other federal agencies.
 Wide publicity IS planned, so that no man liable for registration will have good excuse for failing to re- spond. On a date to be set every citi- zen affected by the act will be required on pain of heavy penalty to present himself at the nearest registration place. where machinery will be pro- vided for classifying the recruits and eliminating those exempt. Doubtful cases will be referred to higher au- thorty. With the rolls of those liable for ser vice, the task of selecting the men to go in the first increment of 500, 900 will begin. It has been suggested that this be done by means of the county jury wheel. The first man whose name is drawn would go, with the first 5OO,O0O men to be called out for train ing within few months.

GEORGE APPEALS FOR
 COOPERATION
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, April 27.-An appeal for all parties to throw aside all differences in getting the Irish question out of the way was made by Premier Lloyd George, in a speech in the Guild hall today in which he also discussed the military situation and other problems of the British government.
 Ireland, he said, must be converted to a cheerful, loyal comrade. The set tlement of the Irish question is essen tial for the peace of the world, and es sential for speedy victory in the war the tide of which, he said, has turned. He said that the British troops now have a real chance to fight.
 The submarine, he asserted, is the worst problem the British nation and the allies have to meet He declared that it could be met with and that al though he did not care to minimize the gravity of the situation, he was per fectly satisfied that if the present az gressive program against the submarine be carried out, that menace would be defeated and with it the central powers.

drawn would go with the second in-
 crement to be called six months later; the third with the third increment, with dutyAa year off, and so on.
 Meanwhile the work of building the cantonments will go forward. Regular troops and national guardsmen will be assigned to them with each arm of the service so represented as to pro- vide the frame work of a complete army division at each point. The guardsmen will be selected from the territory covered by the training dis
 trlct so far as practicable Police duty at the cantOnments will become
 part of the responsibility of each dis trict commandant and he will make such assignment of his forces as he may deem wise. Meantime both the regulars and guardsmen will continue
 recruiting to war strength.
 With the new regiments assembled
 rigorous course of training will be undertaken. The officers training camps to be established within a few
 days in each district will begin at the end of three months. pouring new of ficers into the organization, and the enlisted men selected from the ranks of the regulars for commissions will be
 given special instructions to fit them
 for officers. Until the army of young
 men presents itself at the camps in August or September the regulars and
 guardsmen also will pursue d vigorous course of training.
 The plans call for the transfer to
 the first 100000 men obtained by draft
 of from 150, ,000 to 200, 900 non- commis-
 stoned officers trained in the regular and national guard regiments. It is
 here that the opportunity lies for men who volunteer now as enlisted men in
 the ranks of the two services. On them, even to a greater extent than upon the commissioned officers, will depend the efficiency of the new armies. The backbone of any mili-
 tary organization is its non commits stoned force. In the months that pre- cede the calling out of the first 500,000 men, officers of the general staff hope there will be found in the ranks of the regulars and guardsmen such a com pany of men competent for these posi- tions that the future of the later armies will be assured beyond doubt. WASHINGTON, April 27-Both houses of congress sat until late tonight l to clear the way for passage tomorrow of the war army bill under which mill lions of men are to be raised and
 trained. Apparently enactment of the administrations selective draft by large majorities is assured, although the volunteer advocates will fight until the roll call
