In his speech the secretary said II

time
Democracy on Decline.
lie regarded II as serious defect
of democracy that its people could bc
aroused only after some great disas-
ter. II was no longer true, he said,
that the best friends of the American
people were the Atlantic and Pacific
Cccans'. Submarines already had
crossed the Atlantic and sunk vessels
off American shores. wireless tclcgra
Ihy had enormously facilitated mill
tary operations on land and sea--all
modern science had nullified space
and no longer was the United States
secure because of Its isolation, he as
serted.
Finances for Allies

allied governments by which they may
be able to acquire quickly The neces-
sary supplies and munitions of war

Every man and woman who buys a
Liberty bond will contribute i'm the
most Immediate and directly helpful
way to bring this horrible war to a
quick conclusion"

WASHINGTON, May IT,
Final action was taken by con-
gress today on the war army
bill, the second of the major
measures of the war.
The senate, by a vote of
60 to 8, adopted the confer
ence report accepted yester-
day by the house. Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall and Speaker
Clark will sign the bill to-
morrow and send it to the
White House for President
Wilson's approval.
1t probably will be law be-
fore tomorrow night.
UP TO Wilson
AS finally approved, the bill
provides for raising by selec-
tive conScription a war army
in increments of five hundred
thousand men from 21 to 30
years of age. 1t also author
izes, without directing, the
president to raise volunteer
forces which Colonel Roose-
welt desires to take to France
and greatly increases the pay
of all enlisted men.
Draft Machinery oiled
Machinery to register and
draft the first five hundred
thousand men already has been
set up by the war department.
Immediately after the presi-
dent signs the bill he will, by
proclamation, designate the
| day for registration of the ten
million or more men of the
prescribed ages. Registration
books are in the hands of state
and local authorities who are
to cooperate in the work.
Brigadier General Crowder,
the provost marshal general,
expects to have his complete
lists in Washington within
five days after registering
begins.
To Colors In September
Then will come the task OF selecting
the first half million, exempting the
physically unfit, those w$th depend
ents and men who are needed on the
farms and in industries The process
! of selection probably will be complet-
| ed long before the men are wanted.
Secretary Baker said today that be-
cause Of lack of supplies the new
army would not be called to the colors
| before September.
Whether Colonel Roosevelt shalt be
permitted to raise an expedition now
rests with President Wilson. His
views have not been disclosed, but il
| is believed that he probably will post
pone decision while the draft system
is being put into operation

governors salary. Mr.. Justice based
his argument before the senate in the
fact that it would be unfair to the other
state officers in making fifty per cent

them and the state could not afford to
make general increase of so per cent
for all state officers.
Senator Justice is making an envia-
bic reputation IS legislator and has
been compIimented on all sides for his
able arguments in important state mat
ters.
