BAKER FAVORS SET
RULES TO GOVERN
DRAFT EXEMPTIONS

WASHINGTON, D. c., August To-
New draft regulations under which
the government would do the select
ing rather than leaving it to the reg
istrant, are under consideration by
the War Department. This was dis
closed today by Secretary Baker af-
ter he had appeared before the Sen
ate military committee to urge
prompt enactment of the new selec-
tive service act extending the age
limits to include all men between the
ages OF IS and As.
The war secretary made it plain
that he is not satisfied with the pres
en-: system under which the regis
trant must claim deferred classified,
ton, as many men with dependents
hesitate Tor patrlOCc reasons 10 make
such a claim. In this connection, Mr..
Baker said ne was inclined to the
opinion that the marriage relation
Will in itself constitute deferred
classification.
What Mr.. Baker has in mind is TO
lay down a set of questions which
the registrant would answer and then
have rules which would take care of
the classification. He is understood
to regard this as the fair and equit-
able system.

AID TO RUSSIA
BY RED CROSS
German Printing Presses Grind Out
Counterfeit Money Which Is
Being Circulated

by Robert J. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 70. - The
American Red Cross and allied armies
in Siberia will give the first economic
assistance to the people of Russia.
After the arrival Of General Graves,
leader of the American forces at Vladi-
vistok, the initial step is to provide
food and clothing to the Czecho-Slo-
yak troops and to the Russian people
who are in the territority to be policed
by the allied armies.
The on-coming Siberian winter, cou-
pied with the chaotic financial situa-
ton in Russia, is temporarily holding
up actual despatch of the allied econ
omic mission that eventually will as
sfst Russian business to its feet.
Hence first aid-food and supplies
will be distributed for the time by
the Red Cross. Vast stores Of these
supplies are beginning to arrive in
Vladivostok.
The first great objective Of the aid
to-Russia campaign is to solidify the
Russian peoples in the territory guard
ed by the allied troops; and as the al
lied assistance goes on westward from

PEACE CHATTER
FROM GERMANY
OF Old, Familiar Type,
But There Is no Official
Move Being
Made.

Cores pondent.l

(By Carl D. Groat, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Ameriean
officials today characterized as ''bosh
various underground reports that
Germany is making new peace move.
The state department disposed OF
the yarns with the statement that
nothing official has come here regard
ing peace.
In other high government quarters
the talk was frankly labelled German
propaganda of an old, familiar type.
Its purpose, officials said, was TO
cause a let-down in American effort.
The Boche would have this nation re-
lax under the thought that recent VIC
tories spell the end quickly and tha1
the German is ready to quit now.
"That is not the case" said one
prominent official. eff Germany were
ready to quit you would see real
peaca offensive. But Germany, or
rather the people who run her-arent
ready to quit. If they quit without
victorious peace, it would mean the
Hohenzollern bosses would be out OF
job.
"And as for America and her allies,
why should we want to even listen 10
peace talk? We have them on the
run and victory is within sight. 1t
would be absurd. You can mark up
this peace chatter as German propa-
ganda."
American Masonic leaders today
spurned the idea that Masonry in this
country will lend itself to what is be-
lieved to be a peace propaganda move
within the German Masonry. A RET
cent Masonic conference in Germany
was thought to be backed by the ka1s'
or who wanted American Masons to
be influenced by the Teuton organ1za-
ton.

ed States do not desire to- aid in bring.

The correspondent brought mes
sage from Marshal Foch to the .Ameri-

to this country, he said, to make a lee

experiences during the war and will
attempt to show the people of this
country just how big task he be-
lieves 1t will be to drive the Boche
across the Rhine.
He sounded a warning against too
great optimism but at the same time
urged the people not to be down heart
ed
After declaring Marshal Foch is i'm.
mensely pleased with what the army
has accomplished so far, Gibbons gave
some Of his personal experiences with
American troops in action.
"The French and British have been
instilled with the uncomfortable spir,
1t Of the American fighting men," he
said. "The terror of rushing shells
soon fades away after you have been
near the front for a time and you
cease to worry about them. That is
why they are SO CHEEKY under such
adverse conditions The French and
British have begun to absorb that
spirit"
Gibbons cited an example OF the
American fighting spirit as he told OF
the fighting around Chateau-Thlerry
when American troops acquitted them
selves so well.
American troops were sent ahead
OF the main body Of troops by their
French commanders when 1t was
known that the Germans intended to
launch an attack" he said. Ihey
were told to hold a section OF line
about two miles and half ahead for
ten hours, then fall back, where the
heavier bodies of troops would relieve
