Secretary to Confer with Wilson.
Secretary Baker will have a final
conference with President Wilson this
morning and will turn over to him the
draft regulations. They will be made

President.
There was no time yesterday for the
President and Secretary Baker to take
up the draft. Before the cabinet
meeting adjourned the War Secretary
hurried away from. the White House
for conference with his military
chiefs.
Dissatisfaction in the Senate over
the State draft quotas is having nc
effect In hating the operation of the
laws. Provost Marshal General
Crowder yesterday said his ONCE had
nothing to do with what the Senate
might say.
Congress enacted a law directins
US to draft men according to the popu-
latton of the States" was the state
ment issued at the Crowder Office
The Census Bureau furnished the
population figures. We assigned the
quotas. That's all we had to do. We
merely obeyed the letter of the law,
and are willing to demonstrate all the
processes by which we followed It,
We have nothing to do with any ques-
tion OF the makeup OF the population.
That is beyond our realm"
Meanwhile other branches OF the
War Department were hurriedly ap-
plying to the Department Of State
for ruling on whether aliens in this
country could be drafted.
Can't Draft Aliens.
A forecast of the State Department.
decision follows:
NO alien who has not taken out
his first papers can be drafted. Ital-

Enemy aliens naturally cannot be

germans Want
WAR TO END
Dominating Parties in En-
pire Wish to Keep Amer
lea Out of Struggle.

Amsterdam, July 1.-THE two main
developments in the German political
crisis today strikingly bore out the
theory that the dominating parties in
the empire want peace this year be-
fore America has thrown the fUil
power Of her strength and resources
into the conflict.
These two developments were:
!. The new party bloc in the Reich

proposed policies of the new chsncel-
lor. DR.. Michaelis. proposes TO, chal-
lenge him upon the conclusion OF his
maiden speech Thursday afternoon TO
subscribe to the principle Of peace

ties"
> The centrist party. the predomil
Mating factor in the whole crisis and
the driving power behind the bloc.
took occasion today TO apologize in its
party organ Germania. for the recent
attack Of its leader. DR.. Matthias Err
berger. on the submarine campaign.
There is one significant sentence in
this apology which shows beyond all
doubt that one OF the main things
that precipitated the whole crisis was
the failure Of the C-boats to force
/ England to her knees by a specified
date. That date is believed TO have
been July ]. At the time unrestricted
lT-boat warfare was inaugurated Il
/ had the full support Of the centrists
and OF Erzberger personally. Nor has
there been any marked decrease of
confidence as to the efficacy Of the
weapon. The one grievous mistake
the naval and military leaders made.
however, was to set a definite period
in which they claimed the submarines
would have turned the tricks. They
asserted the C-boats would get in
their deadly work before . meIica
could throw her full weight into the
fray. On that claim alone the advo-
Gates OF unrestricted subseas warfare
were able TO swing their opponents,
including Bethmann-Hollweg, into
line.
A Bourgeois Chancellor.
The latest information from Ger
many and the surrounding neutrals
has led the State Department 10
put little hope in the new chancel-
lor. DR.. Michaelis. Though he is
the first bourgeois chancellor. he is
of that German bourgeois which
has been fed upon the divine right

ness of the imperial will
II this new chancellor on Thurs
day makes a confession before the
Reichstag which savors OF any real
new democratic move In Germany
or of any definitely new promises
for a possible peace basis. the De-
partment will be surprised. So far
as the new chancellor is concerned
opinion here is inclined to hold the
future of Germany is still in the
hands of one mantle Kaiser.
The opinion was confirmed by
sketches Of DR.. Michaelis received

When Mr.. Smith was in Tulsa his
passion for serving his country in the

or less hopeless on two accounts-hc
was beyond the military age and he
had only one hand. 1t was thru his
association with Mr.. Buchner and the
secretarya skillful pointing of the
way in which he could utilize his vast
meutal capacity that the Georgia
lawyer became interested in tho \ -
M C.. \. war work.
He is a man of rare gifts and in E

Buchner. "and the association made
great acquisition when IT obtained
his service for work in the camps III
