Cuba to Decide
Method of Draft
Military Leaders to Urge
New Congress to Double
Present Army

HAVANA, Nov. 4.--Ihe Cuban Con-
gress. which convenes tomorrow, Will
be urged to authorize either conscr1p-
ton or a selective draft. The raising
and equipment in the near future Of a
strong military force, in line with
President Menocal's recommendations
in his last message. and with the plan
Of Cuba's Council Of National Defence,
await only the determination Of the
method to be followed. General Men
ocal and his advisers are determined
that Cuba's alliance in the war against
Germany shall take on most active
character.
Leaders Of both political parties are
in accord concerning the raising OF a
large military possibly doubling
the present strength of the regular
army and militia of more than 25,OOO
men, and a similar strengthening Of
naval units and personnel.
AFTER reviewing tlc var ApNo VI NH'N
laws of Cuba relating to military
measures, President MenocaPs recon-
mendations are:
"The task of enlisting and mobiliz-
ing the militia of 1900 men last Feb

Republican State Committee, last night

The Republicans will elect Merton f.

Caruso Kisses u. S.
On Return; Italy's
Defeat Only Worry
Brings Back 100000 for
Red Cross and Gifts
From Admirers

Five nights ago a radio news item
went out over the Atlantic snnounc-
ing the defeat and retirement Of the
Italian armies. II was picked up by
Richard Coll, wireless operator on the
Swedish steamship Saga and carried
to the stateroom Of Enrico Caruso,
the famous tenor. That is why he
was perturbed yesterday when he
reached this city, after a sojourn OF
six months in Brazil and Argentina.
Also that message brought sorrow
TO the stokers of the Saga, for no
longer were they able TO hear the
great Caruso practising the music Of
his new roles in ale Prophete" and
"Amore de Ire Rel a privilege that
had been accorded them daily since
the Saga left Rio de Janeiro.
Throughout the run up the Allan
tic the singer had hal no news from
land, but on Thursda5. when the YES
sci was four days out Of the Barbados,
the news of Italian reverses was re-
ceived. Caruso got up and dressed,
and etter reading the message over
several times paced the deck until
dawn. Meyerbeer and Montemezzi and
the Metropolitan were forgotten.
When the Saga came in yesterday az
an Atlantic port the first words OF the
tenor as he rushed into the arms OF
Signor Gatti-Casazza were an appeal
for some good news from Italy.
There was a round of handshaking
and embracing between Caruso and
his friends, and then with dramatic
deliberation the homecomer slapped
his hand upon the dusty splintered
floor Of the pier and then kissed his
palm as a symbol Of his Joy on once
more being on American soil
Signor Gatti had said some cheering
thing2, as did Antonio Scott. "Bill"
Guard, andre de SeFurola, Otto Well
and Miss Jacoletti. the sister-in-law OF
Caruso's brother. and from that time
the returning opera star was more
cheerful.
Some one remarked that Re was
fatter than when he went 10 South
America some five months ago. but
Caruso objected. :,
mo. no: not one Bit he protested.
Then, with a quizzical smile, he said
n excellent English:

Dairymen Would
Buy the Borden
Rural Plants
Plan to Split Milk Industry
to Solve the Present
Difficulty

R. D. Cooper, president of the Dairy
mems League, announced yesterday
that he had asked the Borden's Farm
Products Company, on behalf OF his
organization. if il would consider sell
ing its plants in the rural districts -
shipping stations, pasteurizing plants
and so forth-to the farmers.
This means, according 20 Mr.. Cooper.
that the Dairymen's League proposes
TO solve the present milk situation by
splitting up the industry into two
parts. City companies. if the plans 60
through, will attend TO the local dis
tribution of milk The farmers will
see TO the production, pasteurization.
shipping and sale of the milk 70 the
city dairy concerns, thus establishing
a condition of supply and demand
which does not obtain at present.
No indication would be given by the
Borden company yesterday a. TO
whether IL would accept the PROPOSE
tion or not. II is known, however, that
the subject has been discussed with
officers Of the concern before this. C.
A. Weiant. president of the Borden
concern, and Mr. Cooper conferred on
Lt+t Ild~htI cOlNN Alilt dHO.
The plan suggested by Mr.. Cooper
would, he said yesterday insure actual
bargaining for the milk and huctustion
Of the price as the demand increased
or slackened.
Under this arrangement, he assert
ed. the farmers would also have the
right to handle the surplus milk them
selves and manufacture the dairy prod
ucts which the city concerns would
retail for them.
81 believe that this plan, if accept
ed. will settle the milk question for
all time" Mr.. Cooper said. IF. how
ever, the milk company will not agree,
II will simply mean that we will have
to continue fighting the big concerns
through our cooperative plants until a
decision Is reached later"

Aliens Take Liberty Bonds
Many Foreign-Born Subscribers
to War Loan

To ascertain the extent TO which rail-
road employees of foreign birth sub
scribed to the first Liberty Loan, spe-
cial investigation has been completed
on the directly operated lines OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad east Of Pitts
burgh and Erie. The result Of this in
curry shows that out Of total Of l6O,-
1877 employees. in all departments, 25,S27
we're born in foreign countries. There
were among all the employes-both
native and foreign born-52,7S2 sub
scriptions, totalling more than s3,400,-
600.
Nearly one in three of the foreign
born employees was found 20 have been
a Liberty bond purchaser. The exact
number Of subscribers Of alien birth
was s.146, or within two per cent OF
the proportion of employees Of Ameri-
can birth who subscribed.
The inquiry also brought out the fact
that there are in the service OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad men Of forty
two different nationallties, besides ma
tive born Americans; and members OF
thirty alien races were included among
the BUYERS Of Liberty bonds.
The Italian race furnished the largest
number Of foreign-born employees on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, the number
being 1856, or practically one-third Of
ali the alien born. Thirty-two per cent
Of the Italians, or a total OF 2,726 en-
Moves. bought Liberty bonds.
The inquiry also brought out the i'm.
nortsnt fact that since the fall OF 1914
he pennsylvania lines east Of Pitts
bprcb have sustained net loss of 1917
emploves OF foreign birth, as a result
of men returning to their native coun-
