Every precaution possible has been
 taken with the new draft regulations,
 General Crowder said. to conserve eco-
 homie interests. but the paramount duty of the country is to raise an effective fighting force.
 we are committed to this war; the general continued. "and we ought to fight it in the most effective fashion possible
 to us. The necessity of raising an army is paramount. The decrease in the labor supply must be adjusted in some way other than by shutting off recruitment. That it can be adjusted there is no ques- ton.
 LABOR IS NOT PROBLEM "The problem is not to maintain the labor supply of agriculture and every in- dustry intact. It is to make withdrawal Of men in the most scientific manner possible. I think we have done that and what is offered here is the basis for nice balance between our two neces- sites.
 There are those who say that we must win this war in the economic field, with the inference that the raising of an army is a side issue. I say to you that with any greater inroads into the fields of recruitment of our army we shall be sending inferior men to the field. That if this nation is not competent to
 make the slight adjustment necessary to compensate for this scientific selection, then it is not competent to enter this war.
 FIGHTING MEN WANTED Certainly no man can urge in this day of trial and sacrifice that this nation should deliberately neglect to make it. self effective in the field of military op- eration on the plea that our greatest contribution to the cause of humanity is in attaining an economic supremacy. To do so would be to relegate the United States to the role of sutler for the fighting nations.
 .We shall, of course. increase our pro- duction. We shall become more and more effective as a nation and we shall supply our new armies and do all that can be expected of us to supply the armies of our allies.

 WIN WAR IN BATTLE
 This, war will be won militariiy on
 the devoted field of France. Doubtless it will be won by the side which is able to
 place behind it's army the prevailing
 ounce of provision.
 But the blow that shatters the Ger
 man line and extinguishes autocracy

U. 5. SHIP CHAUNCEY WAS CUT IN NO BY TRANSPORT ROSE
 Vice Admiral Sims Sends Additional Details of Loss of Ship and Twenty one Lives

Washington, November 22.-The Ameri- can destroyer Chauncey, sunk Monday with the loss of 21 men, was cut in two by the transport Rose. the navy depart ment was advised today by Vice Admiral Sims. The after part of the destroyer sank immediately, carrying down three officers, including the commander. Lieu tenant Commander Walter R. Reno. and IS enlisted men, who were believed to have been asleep in their quarters.
 ACTING AS CONVOY
 The Chauncey undoubtedly was convoy ing the Rose and both vessels were run ming through the war zone without lights. The transport struck the destroyer on the port side abreast the fourth funnel and plowed through the frail vessel. The forward part of the wreck remained afloat an hour enabling the Rose to res cue the 70 officers and men in that sec tion. They were taken to port by the transport.
 The Rose was not identified by naval officers here today, there being no record of an American transport of that name, and Admiral Sims was asked to clear up that point.
 DANIELS STATEMENT
 Secretary Daniels authorized this state ment:
 "The United States destroyer Chauncey. which was sunk at 1 o'clock Monday morning, was rammed by the transport Rose, according to a dispatch received by the navy department from Vice Ad- miral Sims today.
 Both vessels were running without lights at the time of the accident. the Rose crashing into the Chancey on the port side, abaft the fourth funnel. The after portion of the destroyer immedi- ately submerged and officers and men in that part were drowned. After the collision the remaining portion of the vessel floated for about an hour and the transport was thus enabled to rescue the remainder of the officers and crew. They were taken to port by the Rose.''

 DEFENSE WINS GOOD
 POINT ON FIRST DAY Trial of Chilean Beauty On Murder Charge Is Now Well Under Way in
 Mineola Court

Mineola N Y, November 22.-Julius Hademek the Austrian valet of John l.. De Saulles. admitted on the witness stand in court here. today that it was hope of regaining possession of her young. son that took Mrs. Blanca De Saulles to the home of her divorced husband the night she is charged with having murdered the former Yale athlete.
 Hademek had been summoned to tes- tify in behalf of the prosecution and Henry A. Uterhart, one of the defend- ants attorneys, asked him in cross-ex- amination
 "When you told Mrs. De Saulles that her husband was not at home, what did she ask you over the telephone that night?'
 "she asked if Jack was there" an- swered Hademek.
 And by Jack you inferred that she meant her son?" the witness was asked.
 Yes" he replied.
 PREVIOUS QUESTIONING
 On previous questioning Hademek had testified that on the night of the tragedy Mrs De Saulles had called her former
  he was there. The valet said that, at De Saulles direction, he told her his mas ter was at the Meadowbrook Country club, and would be back in one hour, all though De Saulles was standing at his side at the time.
 What was the first question Mrs. De Saulles asked when she entered her for mer husbands home that night?' was another question asked Hademek by the defense.
 "She wanted to know the meaning Of Jack being kept away from her so long," the valet replied.
 And what was the last you heard her say to him before you heard the five shots?" asked Uterhart.
 She said, I want him." was Hade- mek's answer.
 was the next question.
 He said. No, mo- (" the witness re- piled.
 Then you heard the shots?" Yes" said the man on the stand
 CHAUFFEUR TESTIFIES James J. Bonner, the chauffeur who drove Mrs. De Saulles to the scene of the tragedy, testified that the defendant said as she got into the automomile. "I'll give you a dollar if you will get me there in time" She had already told him she wanted to go to De Saulles home "by the shortest route" he said.
 If you got her there in timer re- peated Attorney Uterhart, emphasizing the last two words.
 Yes. if I got her there in time." re- piled Bonner.
 The inference was that she wanted to reach De Saulles home before he re- turned from the club. although there was no direct testimony to that effect
 Tomorrow the first witness will be Marshall Ward. intimate friend of John l.. De Saulles.

of the selective system. With only 10 army increment of 6S7 900 men was drawn, Ire says, by a nation moving breath- lessly. supported by the governors of states and by the members of the selec- ton boards with patriotism, devotion and unselfsh zeal that remains an in- spiration." s
 BETTER WAY PLANNED
 But the system itself was lacking, he adds. We hacked the first increment of our armies with broadax because there was time for no greater refinement. We must pare future increments away with greater discrimination. The selective system must be carried to it's logical con- clusion, and we must meet Prussian ef- ficiency with a greater American effec- tiveness."
 With this text General Crowder outlined the underlying motives of the new classi- fication system for registered men with which the boards are about to begin. In so doing he asserted that board mem bers, with the great responsibility which rested with them in the draft, had been reduced and demand upon their time cut down. He expressed an urgent hope that the present members would remain at their tasks as a patriotic duty. The board members, he said. are as essen- tial in their places as the army itself.
 TRIBUTE TO BOARDS
 You are in effect he adds, "a part of the army of the United States in that you are the source of its supply The na- tion is rapidly becoming a great sys- tenn and if this part of it were disturbed now it is not too much to say that that ly that it would take weeks, if not months, to repair the damage"
 In conclusion General Crowder asserts that the volunteer method of raising armies is gone forever.
 "The principle of selection has been tried and proved by our people, he adds 'T am led to believe that they approve it with substantial unanimity.
 ''The principle of selection is estab- lished. The system of selection improved as we can improve it must become and remain permanent part of our govern ment system for war.
 Tt is for this reason that I say we are standing not at the portals of a past but rather at the threshold of future."

of the Alliance for Labor and Democ-
racy which Mr.. Gompers took an ac-
tive part in organizing as an Offset
to the Peoples Council, pacifist or
ganization.
