house of Lords, and still could keep a
most solemn and holy expression of
face.
We saw where all the people that
were killed at the Tower were buried
each and every one! All you have to
do to know who they are is to swal-
low an English history.
Seriously, now, the most impressive
thing | saw was the hall where the
Knights of the Order of Bath have met
for centuries. 1t was wonderful in
spring to picture those men in their
magnificent armor sitting there, each
with his man that came below him.
The king of England is the head of it.
The kaiser's seat it now vacant. 1t
can't be we'll described in short let
ter, but it is worth the visit there. The
age of chivalry always was a most
enthralling one to me. And the visit
materialized for me.
The house of Parliament was open
so we went in and looked around and
thought it didn't amount to much as
a meeting place. The kings boudoir
where he got ready to raise cain if
the Houses didn't do as he said, was
gra-and and all gold and stuff.
Then we took in the big cathedral
Gee, I'd be awfully mean if was bur-
led in England! They always seem
to plant you in the darndest place.
Either you are being walked on, or
laying on a table or standing up on
some crazy thing that I'd be awfully
nervous if / were buried in some of
those places. Poets, Lord Mayors,
mere Kings and Queens, Generals,
Admirals, etc., are here incognito, for
ever and ever, Amen!
Among interesting people buried
there is the founder of the Y. M. c. A.
We were shown the kings stables,
his horses and carriage, with some
girls for guides Some nice horses,
but that awful gold carriage. 1t
looked like a lump of gold that was
followed out and shot at all over. By
this time we were tired and the guide
drunk, and as we were due back, back
we went, for tea. Oh, heavens, girls!
That evening [ called on a family
friend of Mrs. Titus of Boston, in Eal-
ing-a suburb. I had very pleasant
visit. While | was there Canadian,
Serg. Meyer, came in to call on his
fiance, and being from Wisconsin and
having been in the city made famous
for it's beer, we had good old CAB
fest. He was an awfully nice fellow.
Sunday we went on an all day trip
on the Thames, by the way a dinky
little stream as far as size goes. A
senile African diamond king, jolly
Joe, takes 100 men every Sunday all
summer for this trip in two river
boats. We started from Winderhead
and went to Henley, famous for it's
college rowing race course.
1t is almost as beautiful as the Mis-
sissippi and is studded all along with
beautiful houses and lawns It was
a wet day (as usuaD so there weren't
many boats out, but ordinarily the
river is full of punts and boats. My
descriptive powers are on the wane,
but you can guess it.
I'll leave the rest for my next let
tiers.
Lovingly,
Don

BAKER OUTLINES WHAT
NEW YEAR FINDS AT FRONT

Washington-What the beginning
Of the new year finds at the battle
fronts is outlined by Secretary Baker
in his review Of military operations.
In the west, he says, the British DOM
mate the Flanders plain with q great
wedge into the principal German line
of defense at Cambrai, while the
French, with their own lines unbroken
hold the key to the Laon area through
the capture of Chemin Des Danes.
Italy, supported by the allies, Is
holding firm, while the enemy is busy
preparing for renewed offensive. or
Russia, the review merely says the
Germans are endea7oring to- persuade
that country that they are eager to
assist in restoring normal conditions,
and that the German embassy build
ing at Petrograd is being made ready
for occupancy. While the operation

HosTlLITiES MAY BE
RESUMED BY RUSSIANS

The virtual collapse Of the negoti-
ations between the central powers and
the Russian bolsheviki for peace and
the possibility that hostilities again
may be resumed by the Russians on
the eastern front, even though with
only comparatively small army, have
caused surprise and perturbation in
Berlin and Vienna.
Realizing the seriousness OF the SIT
uation, the German and Austrian en-
perors have conferred at length with
their chiefs of stats, and the German
and Austro-H garian foreign minis
ter who attended the peace negot1a-
tions at Brest-Litovsk, have been sent
back there post haste, probably for the
purpose Of attempting to moderate the
situation.

SEPARATE PEACE WITH
GERMANY NOT PROBABLE

Petrograd-(By the Associated
Press. .)-The chances Of a separate
peace between Russia and the central
powers being effected seem remote,
because OF what are regarded as Ger
many's unreasonable demands. Leon
Trotzky, the bolsheviki foreign minis.
ter, and his associates take the stand
that the Baltic provinces are in real
ity under military pressure while they
continue to be occupied by Germany,
and that their votes with respect 10
peace must be ignored, as now these
provinces are virtually German de-
tendencies, the loyal Russians having
fed. The Russian delegation upon its
return from Brest-Litovsk laid before
the council Of commissioners at Petro-
grad Germany's demands, which caUs-
ed amazement and the declaration that
the council was not favorable to ae-
ceptance.

ARE THOSE WITHOUT FAMlLiES
DEPENDENT UPON THEM
FOR LIVING.
new POLICY IS ANNOUNCED
All Men Who Have Reached 2fst
Birthday Since June Are
Required to Register

Wasbington.-All men fc: the wa
armies still to be raised by the UnlL9d
States will come from Class under
the new selective service plan. That
means the nations fighting IS 10 be
done by young men without families
dependent upon their labor for sup
port and unskilled in necessary indus
trial Or agricultural work.
Provost Marshal General Crowicr
announces the new policy in an ex.
Eaustiye report upon the operation Of
the selecliye draft law submitted 10
Secretary Baker and sent to Congress.
He says Class l should provide men
for all military needs Of the country,
and to accomplish that object urges
amendment Of the draft law so as to
provide that all mel who have reach.
ed their 21st birthdays since June 5,
1917, shall be required to register for
classification. Also, in the interest
of fair distribution of the military bur,
den, he proposes that the quotas Of
states or districts be determined
hereafter on the basis of number Of
men in Glass 1 and not upon popula.
ton.
Available figures indicate, the re-
port says, that there are 1000, 900
physically and otherwise qualified men
under the present regulation who will
be found in Class l when all ques.
tionnaires have been returned and the
classification period ends February Is.
To this the extension of registration
to men turning Il since June 5 Of last
year and thereafter will add 100000
effective men a year.
Class l comprises:
Single men without dependent rela-
tiyes, married men who have habitual-
ly failed to support their families, who
are dependent upon wives for support
or not usefully engaged, and whose
families are supported by incomes
Independent of their labor; unskilled
farm laborers, unskilled industrial Ia
borers, registrants by or in respect of
whom no deferred classification is
claimed or made, registrants who fail
to submit questionable and in respect
Of whom no deferred classification is
claimed Or r,ode and all registrants
not included liz any other division of
the schedule.
Narrowed down under the analysis
of the first draN; made in the report,
the plan places Upon unattached single
men and married men with indeper-
dent incomes most Of the weight of
military duty, for the aggregate num-
Der of men in the other divisions OF
Class / is very small.
General Crowder finds that the first
draft surpassed the expectation Of the
friends Of the selective service idea.
He pays high tribute, not only to the
thousands Of civilians who have given
ungrudging service In making the plan
success, but also to the high patriot
ism Of the American people as a
whole.

ALLIES TO SUPPLY LACK
OF ARMS AND EQUlPMENT

Washington-An engagement by
the United States to send a great army
against the Germans in time to Offset
the detection Of Russia was disclosed
through the publication by Secretary
Lansing Of review of the work of
the American mission which recently
participated in the inter-allied war con-
ference at Paris.
American fighting men are to cross
the Atlantic as rapidly as they can BE
mustered and trained. France and
Great Britain on their part undertake
not only to join in providing ships to
carry them but to see that any def
ciencies in arms and equipment are
made up on the other side.

To RUSH AMERICAN
TROOPS TO FRANCE
ENTIRE UNITY is TO BE THE
WATcHWoRD OF NATION
AND ALLIES.
QUICK WORK IS MOST VITAL
Agreement Reached in Paris War
Conference-AIlies to Make Avail
able Necessary Transports.

Entire unity henceforth is. to be the
watchword of the United States and
allies in the prosecution Of the war
! American troops are to be rushed to
the fighting fronts in large numbers as
quickly as possible, and there is to be
perfect coordination in naval, mill
tary, financial, food, war industries
and diplomatic matters.
The agreement between the allies
for unified action was reached at the
recent inter-allied conference in Paris,
which was attended by an American
mission headed by Col. E. M. House
and arrangements already have been
made for the United States to carry on
its part of the compact.
In order that American troops may
be dispatched in a constant stream to
Europe, the allied nations are so to
arrange their merchant shipping that
the necessary transports will be avail
able for the huge task. That quick
work in getting the American army to
the front is most vital is indicated by
statement Of Major General Maurice
chief director of military operations at
the British war office. General Mau.
rice says it is probable that with their
heavy reinforcements, drawn from the
eastern to the western front, the Ger.
mans shortly will make a strong Of
fensive against the British and French
armies and that the enemy may be
expected to make some gains.
