WILSON TAKES SLAP
AT "SUFF" PICKETS

NEW YORK. Oct. IS Pres't
Wilson i'm a letter 10 Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait. president Of the
National Woman Suffrage associa-
ton, made public here Wednesday
night, expressed the hope that
voters would not be Influenced by
the actions Of the so-called pickets
in Washington. The letter dated
oct. Is, follows
MY Dear Mrs. Gait:
May [ not express to YOU my very
deep interest in the campaign in
New York for the adoption Of wom-
an suffrage, and may l not say that
1 hope no voter will be influenced in
his decision with regard 10 the great
matter by anything the so-called
pickets may have done here in
Washington? However, justly they
may have laid themselves open 70
serious criticism, their action repre-
sents, I am sure, so small a fraction
of the women of the country who
are urging the adoption OF woman
suffrage that il would De most I'M
fair and argue a narrow view TO
allow their actions TO prejudice the
cause itself I am very anxious to
see the great state of New York set
great example in this matter.
Cordially and sincerely yours
WOODROW WILSON"

German Major
Doesn't Think
Much of Our Boys

AMSTERDAM. Oct. 1S.-The We
ser Zeitung (Bremen) publishes an
article by Mai. Hoffe of the German
general staff on the effect the en-
trance of the United States will have
on the war. After reviewing the
difficulties Of the United States in
training and transporting troops to
Europe. he declares that the Ameri-
can military possibilities may safely
be ignored by Germany.
Before the declaration of war,
he says. "the military resources Of
the United States consisted of an in
sufficiently trained regular army Of
only 100000 and a national guard
of 10000, hardly trained at all. The
various measures taken 20 increase
the army Will result in the fOrma-
ton by spring Of an army Of about
400. 900. which has only received
minimum training.
SAYS We Can't Transport Them.
NO considerable part of this
army can reach Europe before sum
mer. while. in any case, a large
number must be retained at home;
so that not more than 100000 or
500 600 men cano be sent to Europe.
The transport difficulties Will be
enormous. Two and a half million
tons of shipping Will be necessary TO
transport and supply t6 divisions,
and the total American shipping.
even allowing for confiscated ships
and new construction. will by spring
be only 1000. 900. of which the navy
requires 100000
ANY extensive transport OF
American troops would cause serious
difficulties in supplies TO England
and France 10 must also be re-
mem bered that the U-boats are sink
ing more and more ships daily.
BclittleS Our Fighters.
Finally the lighting value OF the
American troops is not great. prob
ably about equal 10 that of the Rou-
manians. and there certainly Will be
fewer OF them than of Roumanians.
80 Germany viii have an easy task
Tn fact it is doubtful whether the
Americans viii risk the venture Of
sending am army 20 Europe at all.
The only American help TO be
seriously reckoned with is i'm the
air. Filters can be quickly trained
and easily transported. but the Ger
man command has taken all neces-
sary measures TO meet this danger.
The new enemy directs his efforts
less against the German army than
against the nerves Of the German
people and against the internal
unity OF Germany"

DRAFT LAW To
Be MODIFIED
New Scheme Considered
Would Classify Grades
of Dependencies.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.--A COM
prehensive new plan for applying
the army selective draft. which
would take first only men without
dependents and Of no particular
value 10 war industries and cStab-
lish various grades OF dependency
and industrial value from which
future drafts you'd be made strictly
on the selective basis. has been
worked out tentatively by the pro-
vost marshal generals office and
discussed with the president
The plan. il was learned today.
was submitted recently 10 confer
ence OF civilians who investigated
exemption board activities in mum
Der of states and received the en-
dorsement OF most of them. who are
now discussing the proposed plan
with their state governors.
II is proposed TO formulate in each
local draft district a table of all
registrants. placing each IN a col
umn denoting his dependents and
industrial value i'm the wars prose
cutiOn. For instance horizontal col
umns or classiflcations would be
based on dependency. Men with no
dependents would be placed in the
first class. those with dependent dis
tant relatives in the second class.
those with wives in tbe third class,
those with a wife and one child in
the fourth. and so on.
Similarly the vertical columns
might represent certain industries
arranged according to their respec-
tive merit as war necessities.
Industrial classes under consider
alton in this connection are farmers.
shipyard employees. munition work
ers, railway and telephone employ
es, miners, steel plant and motor in
dustry workmen, and certain other
individual plants or industry
branches to be designated from time
to time by the president or the war
department as temporarily essen
tial. The latter classification might
include plants making military
clothing. harness. first aid materials.
or professions such as chemists and
other scientific men more needed
for war research than TO carry arms.

There may not be much of a corn
crop in the west and for this reason
those who have corn may look for high
er prices. Yet the big houses in the
east are now producing figures to show
that the present crop is estimated at
several hundred million bushels more
than last year. And then, farmers are
not feeding as much corn to hogs as
there aren't as many hogs running
around as there was one year ago.
Hence, some of the big fellows think
the chances are good for lower corn
prices.
