weather conditions would determine
whether or not the troops would be
kept in Southern camps next summer
If the summer weather proved to be
as extreme as the winter weather had
been, he said, some of the troops
would have TO be moved.
The possibility of the actual pur-
chasing power of the war department
being placed in the hands of Edwin
Settinius, surveyor general, was indi-
Gated by Secretary Bakers remarks.
Senator Weeks, Republican, started
the cross-examination of Mr.. Baker.
The principal point in the whole
controversy, the question as to where
the army was to get ships to transport
a million men to France this year, was
left untouched, partly because he did
not have the detailed figures, and also
because the committee got into a
squabble over the matter OF whether
it would be proper to have Mr.. Baker
disclose the figures to the public.
Secretary Baker indicated that he
and President Wilson had been discus.
sing the further reorganization of the
war department, which they hoped
would satisfy their critics who were
pressing the bills for a munitions di
rector and war cabinet.

East Orange Club Starts
Move to Prohibit the Sale
OF Hearst Papers There

EAST ORANGE, N. j.. May 90
The board of trustees of the East
Orange Columbian Club to-day began
collecting evidence as to the attitude
OF Hearst newspapers since the United
States declared war.
Club officers intend this evidence to
be the basis of an action by the East
Orange city council to prohibit the
sale or distribution of "The New York
American" and journal" within the
East Orange city limits.
At this weeks meeting of the East
Orange council the Columbian Club
presented petition asking the council
to take action to bar Hearst publica-
tions from the city. The petition was
signed by the clubs board of trustees
and fifty leading members.
Councilman Louis c: Cells stated
that East Orange public sentiment
favored such action, and suggested that
the matter be referred to the councils
legal questions committee. Jerome D..
Gedney, city councillor, suggested
that the clubs trustees be asked if
they would collect the evidence on
which the council could base the
Hearst action.
O. j. Elder, president of the club,
said to-day that the trustees gladly
would gather the evidence.
Cali we will have to do" said Mr..
Elder, "is to read Hearst newspaper
files for the last year or so and take
out certain excerpts as we come to
them. We will get all the evidence
from the Hearst newspapers them
selves.
"No action the club ever has taken
has met with such unanimous approval
of the members as the Hearst petition.
Columbian Club members arc represent
ative East Orange citizens. The clubs
petition that Hearst newspapers be
barred is e reflection of the wishes of
the entire community"

Gler, Ridge to Use

Committee of Public Safety
Will Bill" Trains and
Nearby Towns

GLEN RIDGE, N. j., May 29.--Hand-
bills, which expose the course Of
Hearst papers since the United States
declared war, are to be the weapons
which Glen Ridge citizens will use next
in their fight to keep Hearst news
papers out of town.
The Glen Ridge Committee of Public
Safety ordered the handbills to-day.
Members of the committee will bear
the cost.
Committee members said the hand
bills will give excerpts from Hearst
editorials showing that Hearst pleaded
against sending American troops to
France, and against sending food and
ammunition to our Allies until we were
sure we had plenty OF both at home;
that Hearst tried to incite hatred OF
Great Britain, our strongest ally; and
that Hearst strove for an early peace
which, would have been a German
peace.
Besides setting forth what Hearst
newspapers have done since America
onteyed the war for world freedom, the
handbils will recite the history OF the
Glen Ridge movement to bar Hearst
nuhlications.. The movement took con-
crete form May 10, when the borough
marshals passed a resolution pledging
each member, as a loyal American, to
do all he could do legally to stop, the
sale of Hearst newspapers: The local
newsdealers promptly quit handllng
"The New York American" and Jour
