SIX JURYMEN
SELECTED FOR
WERRES CASE
Most Of Panel Of 36 Are
Excused for Having
Formed Opinion.

Six jurymen were selected ysster-
day morning at the Alexandria
Country Courthouse to act in the
case of Earle Gamble. tho army de-
serter, charged with his two COM
panions, Robert Newman and Cath
crime Burgess, with the brutal
murder of John p. Werres, q WASH
ington jItney driver on May .. last
Thirty-six men were summoned to
act on the jury, but only six OF the
number qualified. Two of the re-
naming thirty were challenged by
the defense, and the others had al
ready formed an opinion on the case.
New Panel Summoned.
Twenty new possible jurymen
were summoned yesterday afternon.
It Is hoped that from this number
the remaining six may be selected.
II. R. Thomas, attorney for Gamble,
made q motion at the opening Of
court that the venire be quashed,
charging that the jury had been i'm
properly impaneled The motion was
overruled by the court
The court will open to select the
remaining jurymen this morning at
10 o'clock. Judge John T. Cool
rick will preside.
Gamble appeared somewhat upset
as one venireman after another be-
lieved IN his guilt. He glanced around
the courtroom. and paid strict at
tention to the proceedings.
The police claim that Gamble and
Newman have already confessed to
striking Werres. It is stated that
Werres took the two soldiers and
their woman companion for . trip In
his machine, and that at his refusal
to carry them to Richmond. the trio
beat him to death with an iron bar
and empty bottle. His body was found
several days later in q clump OF
bushes near the roadside.
When arraigned both men pleaded
mot guilty. to the charge of first
degree murder. The woman has not
been arraigned. Her mother Mrs.
Der Of times at the Jail to see her
daughter. The parents Of the two
men have kept in touch with their
counsel since the arrest. None Of
them have called at the Jail.
The Jurymen selected yesterday
were: Robert N. Rust. Karl Kerr. W.
Henry Worton, jr.. George W. Dom
aldson. Frank Hilleary and J, W.

to fiex the muscles Of the hand and
arm. Many of the soldiers have
been wounded in the arms, and con-
tinual action Is needed to get them
back into shape. You could not
force a soldier to take calisthenics
for hours at a time, but rug-mak-
ing will exercise his muscles uncon-
sciously.
THE occupation is a great benefit
in the psychopathic cases. Some Of
these men are suffering from shell
shock and are Just on the border
land OF insanity. Their nerves are
taut, just as the strings of q violin
that has been wound up too tightly.
Private Estabrook, the Instructor
in the class, knows more. perhaps
about Oriental rugs than any man
Of American birth. Before his en-
listment in the army, he was en-
gagged in the business of importing
rugs, and selling them In this ccun-
try. He has Travelled in, Europe ard
Asia, where these rugs are made,
and knows just how they are Great
ed. He Is very esthusiastic about his
work In the army and he says:
Il enlisted as a private because I
wanted to be one Of the men with
whom work. I want to sleep In their
barracks, and eat at the same moss
table and get to know them thorough
ly. This work of bringing men back
to health with rug making means
everything to me-"

DANIELS In PRAISE OF
WAR CAMP SERVICE
Appreciates Hospitality for Fighting
Men on Leave.


That Secretary Of the Navy Dan
iels appreciates the work being done
by the War Camp Community Serv-
ice for sailors and other fighting
men who are absent from their sta
tons on furloughs 10 attested by the
message he sent yesterday to the
sixty members Of the community
service Of the northeastern division.
in conference at Atlantic City.
The message Of the Secretary was
as follows:
TT gives me great pleasure to in
dorse heartily the fine work which
the War and Navy Commissions on
Training Camp Activities, through
the War Camp Community Service,
Is performing in providing hospital
ity and comforts for the men in uni
form when on leave OF absence from
their stations. The fine spirit and
high morale Of our soldiers and sail
ors, inspired by the convictions that
they are fighting unselfishly in q
just and noble cause, can never be
defeated. and nothing will conserve
and strengthen that spirit and high
morale more than the hospitality and
good will shown them by such or
ganizations as yours. II the men
in the service know that we who
stay home are behind them to a
man, nothing will stop their advance
to victory.
When was in Atlantic City re-
Gently I had the pleasure of visiting
one Of the clubs which the War Camp
Community Service is carrying on for
the navy men on shore leave, and
was greatly impressed by the ex-
cellent and important work which is
being done there. Such service can
not help but play a large part In win
ming the war;"

They are merely United States
soldiers returned from France. sit
ting on chairs in an ordinary room.
with an uninspiring outlook, but
devotedly engaged in a very ancient
occupation partaking of Q very
modern name. Reconstruction Work.
They are making rugs at the
walter Reed Hospital with the
same methods that the nomadic
tribes of Asia now use. and the
same methods that were used in
$500 B. c., according to pictures
carved upon the tomb Of Beni Has
san. the ancient ruler of Egypt.
Modern machines have never been
able to surpass in beauty the hand
made Oriental Rug. and those that
our soldiers have turned out are
beautiful. indeed.
Former boiler makers, carpenters,
bricklayers and trainmen are mem
bers Of this class in rugmaking.
Their stubby fingers are employed
with softly colored wool. and they
tie with surprising skill the Ghior-
des or Turkish knot, and. the SIENNA
or Persian knot, the secrets of the
making of Persian and Turkish
rugs.
Rugs and Chickens.
One colored soldier who h1s had
both legs amputated finished a small
rug In brilliant hues such as his race
delight in, with design in which q
chicken was the reigning motive.
Others have shown a sense for color
combinations that rival those Of the
ancient Persians.
It takes a long time to make a
rug by hand. and. instead OF the
prayers and fancies that the old
Oriental weaves into his rug. the
soldier probably thinks, while be is
working, Of his adventure over
there"
IN the work of reconstruction, said
Maj. Baldwin, the educational direc-
tor, I'VE have not spent and do not
intend to spend money for intricate
machines such as power looms, but we
will put all our. effort into the re-
habilitation Of the man, which Is
curative.
The aim Is to reconstruct a SOL
der physically, socially and econ
omically. He must function again
as whole man. We hope to re-
turn all soldiers to their families
In as good q condition, both physical
and mental. as Is possible. and in
some cases in better condition than
when they left home.

GREATER ARMY
PLANS READY
FOR CONGRESS
Immediate Call to Colors of
100000 Proposed
by Baker.

Secretary Baker announced yes
terday that he has completed the
draft Of his recommendation to be
made to Congress for greater mobi-
lizatfon of the military forces Of the
United States and the change of
the draft limits.
II is understood that the new
plan Of mobilization will provide
for the immediate call to the colors
Of 100000 mem Il will be 30
elastic. however. that 100000 men
may be called II necessary without
.urther authorization Of Congress.
The new plan will be sent to Con-
yress as soon as the session 10 re-
convened next month at the close
Of the recess. Secretary Baker de-
clined to make any statement as to
extension Of the draft limits which.
he intends to suggest to Congress.
IT 10 recalled. however. that when
tbS draft law was frst suggested to
Congress. Secretary Baker propos-
ed to have the draft ages set at Is
10 IS. Since then he has been gem
eially credited with favoring 10 to
4S.
Steady stream For Europa
The best estimates az to the reserve
man power Of Class A under the pres
ent draft 10 that II Ii about l,eoo,ooO
men. With the declared purpose of
tho administration to keep the men
pouring into Europe in . steady
stream II is evident that the great
mobilization referred to by Secretary
Baker means that the lid is to be
taken OF and that the army of 5.ooo,-
900 men referred to so often - to be-
come an actual force.
The famous words Of the President,
why limit It to 5.ooo. o.0oo?" were on
this tongue of every staf officer yes
terday in discussing Secretary BAKERS
announcement. STAFF oficers believe
thar the plan agreed upon Dy Secre-
tary Baker will put no limit, on the
size Of the army and that the draft
ing process will be continued until
enough men are obtained TO do a
clean job in Europe.
Quick Training II Effective.
1t became known yesterday that men
who were drafted last fall are now in
the front rank in Europe and are en-
cient. trained fighting units. This rapid
development is referred to by War De-
partment officials as showing that II
Secretary Baker should issue q call
for 100000 men as the first quota
under his new mobilization scheme
there might be three or four million
American soldiers in Europe by this
time next summer.
1t is said that as part Of the new
plan. more cantonments are to be
erected. some Of them permanent and
others of canvas. At the same time
the system of training. now perfected,
will be pushed to the extreme, 30 that
as fast as the cantonments are
emptied new units Of 5000 men will
be rushed to fill their places
There has been a steady increase in
the enlistments in the regular Army,
the number being now in excess OF
$4,000.

FULL REPORT AWAITED
BEFORE GIVING DETAILS
or SEICHEPREY VICTORY
Mnshinrton. April sS.

Washington, April ~.
The American soldiers in the battle
Of Seicheprey covered themselves with
glory. This is officially announced by
General Pershing in his preliminary re-
port. now at the war Department
But details of the report still are
withheld by Secretary of War Baker.
lie Is very much exercised over the fact
that various conflicting figures on losses
have been published and today ordered
an investigation to determine who was
responsible for announcing that General
PerShng had made any report to the
department. The SeCretary's position
Is that details of any engagement should
come direct from General Pcrshing's
headquarters in France, as he alone can
iuG'ye what can and what cannot be
published.
However It Is known that in his re-
port. General Pershing placed the losses
Of the Americans engaged at less than
200" while the losses of the German
shock troops who attacked were more
than 300. How many of the American
casualties are covered in the missing
list is not yet known. General pershing,
IL is understood has promised more
complete report which will cover this
point later on.
II is understood here that the units
engaged were regulars. They We're sup
ported by National Guard organizations
and the entire outfit engaged rs re-
ported to have outfought and outlasted
the German shock troops, picked men
selected only after months of special
training for raid work.
