This is not a singular case, l may

been prompt investigation. OF
course, it has been imiG.,sible to gath
er over million men ,.'tinUut incidents
Of this kind
1T has been inIpos,Ioie to secure
trained medical attvii,it,Its. Had these
men been taken iii v vh:ip ut home they
would have been cared for IN most
cases by their moth..is. sisters or
wives. At the CAMPS they had to be
taken care of by employees.
"This must be remembered: That
the army had to gct nurses and hos
pital attendants without stripping the
regular hospitals. Ii has been diff
cult for even the reguinr institutions
to get help. ..,.-
"But in each case where there has
been obvious neglect Of patients there
will be, as there has been. rigid inves-
tigation."
Mr.. Baker refused to comment di-

WORKERS Will RULE.
SchWab Says Employees Will
Control Destinies of World.
BoIshevlki Sentiment Must Be Taken
Into onsideration-Urges All to
Back U. S. in War.

New York, Jan. 25.-Charles M.
Schwab, president of the Bethlehem
Steel corporation, declared in an ad-
dress at dinner here that the time Is
near at hand "when the men of the
working class-the men without prop
erty-will control the destinies of the
world"
"The bolsheviki sentiment must be
taken into consideration" Mr.. Schwab
declared, "and in the very near future
we must look to the worker for solu-
ton of the great economic questions
now being considered.
II am not one to carelesSly turn
over my belongings for the uplift Of
the nation, but am one who has come
to belief that the worker will rule
and the sooner we realize this the bet
ter 1t will be for our country and the
world at large.
''In these times of war;" Mr.. Schwab
said, ''we of America should not criti-
cize the actions of our president and
our nation. We are behind him and we
are behind the nation. When I say
we l mean the steel men Of the United
States. Within the next eighteen
months we will have more tonnage on
the ocean than all the nations of the
world.
''But don't let us run away with the
idea that we have a light job on our
hands. We must realize that it Is the
duty Of every citizen to give his last
dollar and his last drop Of blood in de-
fense Of his country.
II am not discouraged and l am not
pessimistic, but we must contribute
our money as we never contributed be-
fore. We must forget our personal
notions and stand by our nation. Let
us place dependence upon our govern
ment and our cause"
Mr.. Schwab's address was delivered
at dinner Of the alumni of Grammar
school No. 40, of which he is gradu-
ate.

New York, Jan. 25.-Everywhere in
France the question is being asked,
"How soon will Anerica be here?'
according TO Major Grayson NJ. p. Muir
ply, former head of the American Red
Cross work in France, at reception
given in his honor here.

Germans Demand All the Baltic
Provinces and Threaten to
Resume Attacks.
RUSSIANS SPURN THE TERMS
Seizure of Reval Is Threatened If Con-
ditions Are Not Agreed to Imme-
diatey-Would Change the
Whole Frontier.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-The imperial Ger
man chancellor, Count Won Hertllng,
in his address before the reichstag,
said he still held fast to the hope that
the Brest-Litovsk peace negotiations
would reach a satisfactory conclusion
at an early date.
Petrograd, Jan. 25.-Russia must
give up Courland and all the Baltic
provinces, or the, Germans will resume
military operations and occupy Reval
within week, the German delegation
at Brest-Litovsk told the Russian rep
resentatives at the last session.
An adjournment was taken until
January % to permit the Russians to
consider the German terms.
Reports of the session indicate that
the Germans took definite stand and
which they are insistent.
The secretary of the Ukrainian dele
cation gave out an account of the
meeting. 1t says the Russians put a
question to the delegates Of the CEN
tral powers as to what were their final
peace terms.
Hoffman Delivers UItimatum.
General Hoffman, one Of the Ger
man delegates, replied by opening a
map and pointing out the following
line which they insisted should consti-
tute the future frontier of Russia:
From tho shores Of the gulf of Fin
land to the east of the Moon Sound
island to Walk, to the west Of Minsk,
to Brest-Lltovsk.
This completely eliminates Courland
and all the Baltic provinces.
The Russians asked the terms of
the central powers In regard to the
territory south Of Brest-Litovsk. Gen
eral Hoffman replied that was a ques-
ton which they would discuss only
with the Ukraine. M. Kameneff, a
member Of the Russian delegation,
asked:
Suppose we do not agree to such
conditions. What are you going to
doY
General Hoffman's answer Is report
ed to have been:
"Within a week, then, we will oc-
cupy Reval."
Demand Food From Ukraine.
The Russians then asked for a re-
cess, which was granted reluctantly.
The Germans declared it was the
last postponement to which they would
consent.
The request was made by Leon
Trotzky, head of the Russian delega-
ton, who said he desired an opportu-
nifty to lay the German peace terms be-
fore the council of workmen's and SOL
diers' delegates.

ficient Public Servant.

Washington, Jan. 25. = Colonel
Roosevelt answered Senator Stones at
tack upon him in the senate Monday
In a speech before the National Press
club, characterizing the Missouri sena-
tors address as an insidiOus effort on
behalf of Germany and as the first In

the governments conduct of the war.
Next to assailing an efficient public
servant, Colonel Roosevelt said, the
worst offense Is to defend an inefficient
servant, and for that reason he was
supporting Senator Chamberlain and
his associates on the military commit
tee who were investigating the "mal
administration" Of the war depart
ment. ,sr ..1f. ..r N .as.
