mediately and carefully attended to
by the Red Cross nurses. The school
children send out flowers each day.
The Y. M. G. A. certainly deserve
praise for their splendid efforts to
make all feel at home. Any little
worry or anxiety that might come
to one of the boys is reported to the
Y. M. C.. A. and they do their very
best to solve the problem. For in
stance, while l was there, dear old
lady had come from far away to see
her boy who was very ill. Her fl
nances were bothering her consider
ably, the ways and means of exist
ence while in Columbia, waiting and
watching for her son to gain
strength. She knew not what to do,
and only had little sum left She,
unconscious of the worry it might
bring her son, broke down and told
him all. The little nurse reported
the case Immediately to the Y. M. c.
A, and | am proud to say that one
of our own boys, Tom Pressly, of
Troy, who is with the Y. M. C. A.,
having been honorably discharged
from the army, had the honor of
making everything comfortable for
both mother and son, and / want
you to know that Tom Pressly is do
ing credit to the place assigned him.
/ only make mention of this little
occurrence that you may know moth
ing is left undone.
Our son, Dan, is doing nicely at
present and soon will take up some
light work until strong enough to
resume his regular duties. Both Mr..
Webster and myself are grateful for
having been able to be with our boy
and also visit Camp Jackson.

Camp Jackson.

Just having returned home from
Columbia, S. c., Camp Jackson, after
a ten days visit with our son, Private
Dan Moody Webster, l fell it my pa
,triotic duty as the mother of sol
der boy to publicly express, in my
humble way, our deepest and most
sincere appreciation of the splendid
treatment of Dan while confined to
the base hospital from an operation
for appendicitis. To be there and
hear and see the daily doings of our
boys, the discipline, the fine spirit
of the camp, and the deep interest
shown all by the officers in charge,
makes me feel and know that your
boy is being cared for in the very best
possible way our Government can
afford.
l do wish to make special mention
of the noble work of the Red Cross
and Y. M. c. A. To know a Red
Cross nurse is to love her and shall
ever worship at the shrine of their
memory for each and everyone in
service at Camp Jackson were so
faithful and kind to all the boys who
were ill. Everything was strictly
sanitary. The systematic way in
which the work was carried on was
indeed perfect. A little stand is kept
by each bed with Bible and flowers.

Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1918-05-03

Washington, May "a colossal mill
tary program was submitted by Secre-
tary Of War Baker to the house COM
nhttee on military affairs yesterday.
Here are the principal features Of the
plan:
l. Expenditures on the army aggre-
eating SIS 5000, 100000 in the next fiscal
year. more than twice the total Of this
years outlay.
2. Manufacture Of artillery on stu
pendous scale, involving the immedi-
ate erection of enormous plants, the
whole outlay representing several bill
lion dollars.
8. Drafting of at least 100000 adj
ditional registrants and as many more
as can be equipped and transported to
France, with the prospects favorable
to maintaining an army Of 100000
men in the field next year.
Man Power Survey.
Consideration of the proposal to
raise the maximum draft age from 30
to 40 years has been postponed until
such time as this action appears more
urgent, but the administration has sur
veyed the additional man power that
will be available and contemplates TAX
ing the step when it Is deemed neces-
sary.
The army program proposed by the
administration was interpreted as
showing the intention Of President
Wilson to translate into action his pro-
nouncement at Baltimore that he has
been ia,;;s;;iiiitusioncd and that . righteous
peace can be obtained only by force
to the utmost"
The plans presented to the commit
tee were annrnved, IL not initiated. by
the president, but what part Secretary
Baker had in the conception of the
program to speed up military prepara-
tons it not clear. Certain it u.s. how
ever. that Mr.. Baker has returned from
France deeply impressed by the neces-
sity of stupendous effort on the part
Of the United States to save the cause
Of the nations fighting Germany.
Cabinet Change Possible.
Mr. Wilson is said to repose more
confidence than ever in his secretary of
war, altho the report still persists that
Secretary of State Lansing will be sent
to Versailles as American diplomatic
delegate to the supreme war council.
that Mr.. Baker will be relieved of his
portfolio and consoled with that of sec
rotary of state. and that Assistant Sec
rotary of War Stettinius, who possesses
great influence at the White House,
will become secretary of war.
The program for production of ar
tillery and other ordnance in enormous
quantities represents the most radical
change of army policy effected by the
administration. The artillery program
