CROWDER ASKS CHANGE
Provost Marshal General Asks AL
terations in Draft Bill.
Tells Congress Present Measure will
Result in Delay Of Calling Men
for Some Time.

Washington, May l. Provost
Marshal General Crowder requested
congress to eliminate from the bill ex-
tending the draft to youths now twen-
ty-one years old, the amendment put
ting at the bottom of the eligible list
those who would register under the
measure and asked that the bill basing
draft quotas on the number of men In
class | be amended to make its opera
tons retroactive.
General Crowder made his request
In letters to the chairmen of the SEN
ate and house military committees. OF
the proposal to put the new registrants
at the bottom of the list of eligibles
General Crowder said:
"The plan proposed by this office
would result In the registrants being
given order numbers scattered through
out the entire list of order numbers.
This sens to be fairer than the plan
proposed by the amendment
THE result of the house amendment
in many Jurisdictions will be to delay
the calling of these young men for a
considerable time. In the meantime
their status will have changed, they
will have married, or become inte-
grated with the industries of the coun-
try.
Moreover, it establishes prece-
dent which may be appealed to, provid-
ed aliens are registered under the pro-
visions of the new legislation based
upon treaties to be negotiated"

See that the employees Of every In

creating, if possible, committees of
employees to complete the work. Find

See If all stores and Office buildings
have been completely canvassed.
Call attention publicly to the fact
that the desired twenty million sub

cry five people, or practically one to

sponded to this extent?

AUSTR|ANS SHOW
SIGNS OF REVOLT
Demonstrations of Serious Ma
ture Taking Place in Jugo-
Slav Provinces.
vienna IN new PEACE MOVE
Catholic Press Agency Announces EN-.
peror Charles Is Making Fresh
Offers to Rome-Wash;ngto
Sees Trickery In Move.

London, May IA dispatch sent out
by Reuters Limited says it has been
learned from Serbian sources that un-
mistakable signs of an approaching
revolution in Austria-Hungary are be-
coming daily more evident.
The plebisctte is being held among
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes In favor
of their union with Serbia and Monte
negro In one national Independent
state under the scepter of King Peter
Of Serbia. The prime archbishop of
Carniola is at the head of this move
ment.
Demonstrations of q very serious
character are taking place in the Jugo-
slav provinces" says the dispatch.
''NOw comes news that at the request
of the Austrian government, and with
the sanction of the pope, the nuncio at
Vienna has opened disciplinary in
quiry against the archbishop of Carni-
ola for placing himself at the head of
this revolutionary movement Great
developments are expected"
Austria Seeks Peace With Italy.
Stockholm, May 1.-The Catholic
International Press agency announces
that Emperor Charles Is making
fresh offer, appealing to Italy to ac-
cept it in behalf of her own inter-
eStS.
See TrIckery In Offer.
Washington, May Although 1t has
been predicted frequently that If the
present German campaign should fail
"peace offensive" would be inaugurated
by the central powers, there has been
no previous intimatiOn that new
move of this nature was being made.
Officials here regard the report that
Emperor Charles is about to offer
separate peace to Italy with the same
sentiments they repeatedly have ex
pressed toward other peace offers. Al
though without any information other
than that contained in Stockholm
dispatch, they freely expressed the
opinion that the chief purpose of such
an offer was to create discord among
the Italians, to weaken their resistance
and at the same time attempt to quiet
unrest among the Austrian people.

EXPLAINING ANTICS OF BEAN
Nothing Really Mysterious About
Seeds Which Furnish Mexican Poems
Cheap Gambling ParaphernaIa.

One of the favorite amuSements of
the Mexican peOn is the game he calls
'1os brincOnes," which might be trans
lated 'the jumpers" A circle Of dusky
laborers grouped about an apparently
empty space in the sunny dust is
characteristic sight south of the Rio
Grande. The objects of interest, invis-
ible to the casual eye, are the "brin-
cones," or jumping beans.
The game is one calculated to ap-
peal to the Mexican temperament, be-
ing a form of pure gambling associated
with the irreducible minimum of ply
sical effort. To the visitor it bears
also a touch Of mystery.
The players draw a small circle in
the dust and lay therein a number Of
little brown beans, which are really
not beans at all, but the seeds Of some
native plant. Exposed to the rays of
the sun and the solemn gaze of the
players, after a time the beans begin
to move. They turn, they stir, they
actually hop about. The lure Of chance
consists In betting on which bean Will
first jump out of the circle, and appar-
emily the game is fair. There would
seem to be no way Of framing" the
mysterious beans.
The Mexican neither knows nor
cares why the beans jump, though their
behavior is most unusual for members
of the vegetable kingdom. Asked for
an explanation, he will shrug and re-
mark that it is the nature Of "brin-
cones" to jump. Why question the
wisdom of providence, which has seen
f1t to provide her children with a cheap
and satisfactory apparatus for games
of chance?
Science, however, steps in with the
explanation that the innocent brown
bean in question is the home Of GER
tain larvae, whose spasmOdic move
ments early In life are responsible for
the antics Of its vegetable home.

mittee to prepare bill for an army
Of 100000. Senator Reed of Mis-

100000. Senator Poindexter intro
duced bill directing the secretary Of
war to call 100000 to the colors.
To Call soc, 900 Men.
Washington, May 1.-The largest
drafts yet summoned to the colors
since the initial call which organized
the National army will be made by
the war department almost immediate
ly. The first call will affect the May
contingent ordered out. The depart
ment made it plain in it's weekly re-
view that it intended increasing the
number OF men called into service at
once.
If the plans now considered are car
ried out, as believed absolutely nee
essary, the call for May will total 30O,-
OOO men, while the call for June will
reach very nearly 200, 1000.
Fill All cantonments.

their intentions in advance Of official
action by Secretary Baker and Pro-
vOst Marshal General Crowder. They

figures mentioned above were approx
imately correct. Quotas after May
and June will be reduced to fit the
cantonment and camp limitations. 1t
is hoped, however, to get as large a
percentage as possible of the men who
will be called this year into service
at once, so that they can be sent over
seas to complete their training before
next winter
Ask Army of 100000.
1t is no longer a secret that the
estimates now in hand will raise
the total army strength to 100000
fighting men. L. is equally well un-
derstood that even greater expansion
will be required before the close Of the
next. fiscal year.
1t Is made plain by all army Off
cials that Americas imperative duty
will be to provide the replacement
units for the French front
The references to replacement
troops should not be permitted to ere
ate the impression that United
States soldiers are being employed for
the sole purpose Of filling gaps In the
French and British armies. Under the
supreme command of General Fech an
American army Of constantly growing
proportions and led by American gen.
erals is now playing an individual part
in the conflict.

production and the matter of price
fixing for 1918. explaining that it had

gate the power to one man alone. The
food administrator warmly praised
"the fine patriotism" of the country's 8
grain dealers in their cooperation
with the food administration.
