 Mir Baker is inclined to ray the jury wheel system of choosing the men to he ca led first When any township is called upon for its quota t3 fill the first 500.000 increment the names of all its citizens previously registered fer military duty would be placed in the jury wheel and the proper number drawn Examination of that number would then be carried ont and enaugh additional names drawn to fill up the quota. with pro. visions made for exemptions
 The secretary indicated that pas sage Of the draft b.l would be fol- lowed by further vigorous efforts to stimulate voluntary recruiting in the regular army and national guard President Wilson may issue a procla mat calling for 6O0o00 or more volunteers for these branches of the service. Mir Baker made it plain that the war department does net plan to apply the draft to fill up the regu ar and guard forces until the supply or volunteers have been exhausted.
 Within a month after enactment of the bill the secretary expects to set the registration date for the conscrip tive forces A proclamation will be issued notifying all men affected to appear at the registration places The election machinery of each community will be used to facilitate registration and the police forces wi be employed to bring in those who fail to appear voluntarily

CHORAL CONCERT
PLEASED ITS
AUDIENCE
Attendance Fairly Large Consider
ing Weather Conditions
SOLOS HIGHLY APPRECIATED
Initial Effort Should Guarantee Or
qanization Permanent Place In
Our Community Life.

Last night, in spite OF the unusually
stormy weather, fairly large audi
ence assembled in the High school
hall to listen to the concert which
has been preparing since early in
December. No more enjoyable occas-
ion has been offered to our music
loving citizens for years than this
proved to be. The chorus did their
part admirably, especially--if any
especial mention can be made where
all was so excellently done-in the
number from Governs Rose Maiden"
toward the close of the programme.
We hope that this organization, the
Community Choral Club, may not be
suffered to lapse into the things OF
the past, but that having shown Its
high quality and the standard OF ex-
cellence to which it has already at.
tanned, some way may be found that
will make 1t permanent and q
regular and accustomed feature OF
our community life. OF Miss Whit
ney and of Mr. Morton we find no
words Of criticism, but only Of praise.
Their solo work was marked by a
finish OF style and phrasing that was
particularly pleasing and in the only
number where they were heard to-
gether, their voices blended beauti-
fully.
The work Of preparation was in the
competent hands of the following:
Committee-Miss Vera Suter, Mrs.
Helena Downs, Miss Margaret Healy,
w. S. Boynton. Frank Hurley, Mrs
Harry S. Moses, Mrs. e. w. Bradford.
J. l.. Griswold.
The chorus was composed as fol

brought in snug sum to their
treasury.

WILSON MESSAGE
I,t.s'9!NeRtSSN0T
YET <..>s''TTEN
Delays Because Of Possible
Changes in Situation
war DECLARATION IS EXPECTED
Officials Predict Congress viii Give
President Authority to Protect
American Rights.

Washington, March 2S-With army,
navy and industrial preparedness
measures to meet German aggression
going forward as rapidly as possible
President Wilson and his cabinet yes
terday took up consideration of fur
ther steps to follow the convening of
Congress in extra session next Mon
day. The president has not yet writ
ten the message he will deliver Tues
day or Wednesday and is said to have
reached no final conclusion as to just
what recommendations to make. Be-
cause of possible changes in the situ-
alton, he is not expected to put the
address in final shape until the last
moment.
There is no doubt in the minds of
administration officials that whatever
may be- its details, the policy laid be-
fore Congress will be both vigorous
and comprehensive. The general
opinion after the cabinet meeting ap-
parently was that the program most
likely to be followed by congress will
include declaration that a state of
war exists between the United States
and Germany, an authorization for
the president to use the armed forces
of the nation to protect its rights, the
granting of a large credit to the gov
ernment to carry out it's policy, pas
sage of censorship and espionage
bills, provision for the employment of
additional secret service agents.
No final decision has been reached
as TO whether financial assistance
should be given the entente allies,
though strong sentiment for such
step exists among government .offici-
ale Ii this is done the government,
probably will deal directly with the
other governments, concerned and not
through agents.

TWO GUARDsMEN MARRIED
Double Wedding at Congregational
Parsonage Yesterday Afternoon.

Two members Of company f, Of the
second regiment of Massachusetts
militia, were married in this village
late yesterday afternoon. The two
guardsmen and their prospective
brides arrived here by trolley from
Pittsfeld on the 445 car, obtained
their licenses of Town Clerk +. A.
Booth and at once hurried to the Con-
gregational parsonage where Mary
Agnes Weir was made the wife of
James Michael Morrison and Ger
trude Katharine Lonergan became
Mrs. Edward Dennis Duclos.
Last evening Jimmie Williams son
of George Williams and one of the
Evening Banner newsboys, hurried in
to the house on Washington street ap-
parently in big hurry to tell some
body something. AS soon as he sight

Say, pa. there must have been a we'd

to obtain the details of the double

men carried themselves well and one

With the combined evidence fur

and the Banner newsboy, it should be
reasonably safe to conclude that there
was good looking bride in town yes

PASSENGER TARIFFS UNCHANGED
Shippers Bombard Interstate Con-
merce Commission With Protests
Against Change in Schedules.

Washington, March 2S.--General
advances in freight rates will be
sought, probably with in the next 10
days by railroads in every section OF
the United States. Preliminary steps
were taken yesterday by virtually all
railroads concerned in an informal
conference with the interstate COM
merce commission.
Definite announcement was made
that the advance asked for eastern
railroads would be 10 per cent on all
commodities except ore, bituminous
coal and coke. Representatives of
western lines, while not stating spe-
officially the percentage of increase
desired, indicated that they, too,
would ask for Is per cent. Railroads
of the southwest submitted figures
showing that increases ranging be-
tween Is and 21.4 per cent. were need
ed to meet additional costs of opera
ton already existing in the case of
five lines. Southern railroads prob
ably will determine the percentage of
increase desired at conference at
Washington Friday No authority
will be sought, under present pro-
ceedings to increase passenger fares.
Only one dissenting voice was
raised at today's conference. A. +.
Helm, representing the public utilities
commission of Kansas, cited figures
to uphold his contention that the rail-
roads emergency was not so press
ing as it had been depicted and that
net incomes OF the roads last year
were tremendously greater than the
year before. He protested against
the authorization by the commission
of general increases without full in
vestigatiofl in advance, III
ivi Telegraphic protests against the
proposed Increases poured into the
Offices OF the NJ Commission all day.
Commissioner Clark announced that
the house was full OF protests al
