SOLDIERS NOT JUST
WAR MACHINES
Secretary Newton D. Baker Taking
human Interest In Personal
Welfare Of SoldIers
AN EXAMPLE TO CIVILIZATION
Roy Smith Wallace. Representing the
War Department Visits 0smIns
and Is Much Delighted

For the first time in the history o.
civilization a great Government, in
fact the greatest government in al
the world today is taking a real hu.
man interest in the life of its soldiers
from the viewpoint of everyday folks
outside of fighting machines.
In other words, our great War De.
partment. which is headed by n real
ed-blooded American. who dares to
do what he believes to be right, has
taken unto himself the pleasing duty
of looking into the life of his soldier
boys. whether they wear the insignia
Of commissioned officer or the plain
khaki Of the private.
Newton d. Baker wants the boys
in camp to have the best influence OF
human society thrown around those
who are to be the defenders of old
glory. He wants them to come ont
of the service stronger, better men
than when they entered, and to that
end he is getting information, through
trusted representatives Of his de-.
partment, just what actual conditions
are in the places he has approved for
the mobilization of large bodies Of
troops for an extended period.
Great care has been exercised in
the selection of military bases, and
still greater care is being shown in
getting detailed information concern
ing the people who will make the lives
of soldiers pleasant or otherwise.
With this end in view Deming was
visited on Sunday and Monday by
Mr. Roy Smith Wallace, representing
the War Department Commission ou
training camp activities.
He came unannounced and spent
two days investigating thoroughly all
the conditions that will surround the
soldier boys, who will soon be sent
here to make their temporary home
with us. Mr.. Wallace is n keen OBJ
server and has wonderfully progress
sive ideas concerning the proper en-
vironments of a soldier. and when he
said to the writer, that conditions at
Deming appeared to him almost ideal,
he meant just what he said.
Mr.. Wallace was taken about b,
the secretary Of the Chamber Of Com
merce and was given every opportuni-
ty to meet the people who will. for an
indefinite period. exert an influence
for good or bad upon whole division
Of men who are to become a part of
the fighting force in the American
army. He asked many questions
and at the conclusion of his careful
investigation was satisfied that The
War Department had selected wisely
when they made Deming n great mill
tarv base.
At an informal dinner given for
him az the Harvey house by Presideu.

merce. Monday evening, Mr.. Wallace

TEACHERS TO CHANGE
ASSOCIATION TO UNION
Those of Grade Manual Training TO
Affiliate With American Fed
Grafton of Labor.

Members of the Grade Manual Train
ing Teachers Association decided I'M
animously at a meeting in the Franklin
School yesterday afternoon to change
their organization into a union. This
UNION will be a branch of the American
Federation OF Teachers and through
that organization will be affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
This decision was reached following
addresses pointing out the advantages
of "unionizing." The speakers were
George j. Jones, c. w. Rippey and
L. V Lampson. members of the High
School Teachers Union. c. c. Dunn,
president of the association. presided.
Mr.. Jones told of the work being done
by the labor federation: Mr.. Hippey
told of the benefits which teachers of
manual training in the high schools
had received through the union, and
Mr.. Lampson told of the benefits to be
derived in general. He said that such
unions are especially necessary in
Washington. where the people do not
have the right of franchise.
Teachers of the grade schools are
seriously considering the formation of
a union, it is stated. Many of them
have expressed themselves as being
favorable to the proposition

Demands Called Madness.
LONDON. April 2s.-Reuter's Amater-
dam correspondent says that Gen. Groener
in justifying his imperative demand for
cessation of the munitions strike, made In
a speech before the reichstag committee,
declared that the so-called Leipzig pro-
gram and the telegram to the imperial
chancellor, demanding that he should re-
ceive a deputation and listen to political
demands. including one for the franchise
and the creation Of a labor council on the
Russian style, were factors which had
completely changed the situation. These
demands said Gen. Groener, were mad
ness and imposed upon the inexperience,
good nature and honesty of the workers
There shall be no more strikes and
we will ruthlessly prosecute wire pullers

dresses were made by Commissioner
Louis Browniow, Rev. DIR. James L.
Gordon and Brig. Gen. william E. Har-
vey. and all OF the speakers urged the

wait until they are required to enter
the military service by the operation OF
the draft bill about to pass Congress.
IF the District of Columbia raised
more than its quota of troops in 1898
in order to fight for democracy in q

Washington make an equally good
show now.

there ever was one, was the declaration
of Rev. DR.. Gordon. Never was the
cause for war so clear as it is now, he
said.

Dr. Gordon. We'll, then. let us unite in

Great applause greeted an announce
ment made by Brig. Gen. Harvey that a
test vote taken in the House this morn
ing had showed a sentiment OF to
in favor of universal service. The gem
eral declared the District guard offers
great opportunities by reason of the
various services represented by its

United States troops to France.

Gen. Harvey spoke of the fine showing

ABOUT WAR LOANS
Brazil, Cuba and Haiti May Be
Financed to Help
Allies.
TO TAKE CARE OF BELGIUM

In addition to the big loans which the
United States government is making
to the allies, financial negotiations are
in progress with number Of other
countries. Loans are being made to or
negotiated with not only Great Britain,
France, Italy and Russia, but the finan.
cial needs of Belgium. Cuba, Brazil and
Haiti are receiving consideration.
1t is reported that Brazil. contem-
plating war with Germany as the re-
suit of the diplomatic break, has in
formally sounded the sentiment of Of
hcials here with view of determining
whether her application for loan
would be favorably received in case of
war, To the surprise of administr ration
officials. Haiti has also made overtures
along this line.
Brazirs need for funds, it is under
stood. Is chiefly for the development OF
her industrial and agricultural enter
prises which might be placed. in some
degree. at the disposal of entente gov
ernments in case of war. Brazil is one
of the largest producers in the world
of rubber, an article of prime necessity
in modern warfare. but Is handicapped
with other South American republics
by lack of adequate capital for de-
velopment of her resources.
Cuba Will Need Funds.
Cuba, in all probability, will need
funds to develop her resources more full
1y and to help in the maintenance OF her
military establishment. The administra-
ton regards the little republic with
greatly increased friendship because of
her unhesitatingly prompt adoption of
the American policy in dealing with
Germany. and indications are that If she
needs money to help finance her part in
the war. she will get it.
Haiti. whose affairs are at present
under the administration of American
naval authorities, has shown, through
her leaders, 1t is understood, distinct
friendliness to the American govern
ment since the commencement of hos
tilities with Germany and is seeking
funds Intimation to this effect rather
than formal application have been
placed before the Administration. Con-
sideration of her case has not been
reached.
Belgium still remains silent, although
intimationS are understood to have
been delicately conveyed to her govern
try for financial assistance would re-
oeive quick and friendly consideration.
There is no definite idea in the minds Of
Treasury officials as to what her imam
cial needs are, IL any.
Russia's needs probably will be the
next taken up by the administration.
with a view to advancing such fnan-
cial aid as may be Immediately impera-
tive. The financial program with re-
spect to Russia, however. may remain
In tentative form until the American
commission soon to go abroad shall
have made at least q preliminary re-
port as to her requirements.
