 The so division plan, General March said, depended upon shipping facilit- ies, but he added:
 'I might as we'll say right here, frankly, that the program of MT. SchWab will take care of the army program and gain on it."

K. c. POLICE BOARD
 STICKS BY SALOONS

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 19.-An or der issued by Mayor James Cowgirl last Saturday night at the request or the local food administrator closing all saloons in the city in. an effort to relieve the ice shortage, was nulli- fled today by the police commission CTS who permitted thesaloons to re- open if they could obtain ice from out side the city or had refrigeration fac- ittities.
 The board, of which the mayor Is ex-officio, held that the order of the food administrator cutting off ice sup plies to saloons probably would prove effective in closing many of them. The ice situation tonight was re- ported somewhat improved owing to cooler weather and to the fact that more ice was being shipped in from the north.

shirt, underclothing and shoe manu- lecturers showed earnings of from 30 to 100 per cent on invested capital.
 Lumber production stimulated by the sudden enormous demand from cantonments and oaher government operations netted forest and saw mill owners as well as distributors profits several times above those of normal years.
 Oil producers made enormous pro- fits which they claimed were justi- fled bv the rapid depreciation of prop critics and the extra financial hazard of their business.
 The treasury analysis shows that few iron, cooper or aluminium mines -ailed to make tremendous profits for their owners. Automobile and motor truck manufacturing was high ly profitable.
 Meat packers, flour millers and can ners apparently stood at the top of the list of food profit takers, accord ing to income returns. Farmers also made money heavily last year but not enough of their returns have been analysed to justify a general state ment of their profits officials say.
 Names of individual companies are not reported, since these by law, must be considered confidential un- less the president specifically authori- zes publication of tax returns.

WILL NOT CHANGE
 RULf ON MARRIAGE IN DRAFT ME FASURE
War Department Also Plans to Educate Youth Be
 tween IS and 21.

Washington, Aug. 19.-In answer to a letter from Chairman Chamber lain of the senate military committee asking whether it was true that the war department proposed to exempt married men as class under the new manpower bill, Secretary Baker today informed the senator that the exist ing regulations as to married men would continue in force.
 Senator Chamberlain had written to the secretary saying if it was true that deferred classification for married men generally was contem- plated, many senators would oppose lowering the present draft age to IS years
 "The present situation,' MT Baker replied, with regard to married men in class one is that four classes of married men are included within the limits of that class: First, married men who do not support their wives or families; second, married men whose wives support themselves; Third, married men whose wives have adequate independent means; fourth, married men engaged in useless oc- equations and who are not the main or personal support of their families.
 Will Not Change Rules.
 "There is no intention to change this situation.
 "In construing the regulations with regard to dependency of wives and chlluren, financial dependency has been looked upon as the reason for de- 1erred classification, This will contin- ue to be the case.
 "1 am told that in some parts of the country there is an abnormal in- crease in the rate of marriages which suggests the possibility of desire to use marriage as a basis for claim of exemption.
 "The status of registrants married at a time and under conditions sug- gesting any such purpose will be that of unmarried persons so far as their classifications is concerned"
 To Educate Youths.
 Plans for continuing the education of youths between the ages of Is and 21 years, inclusive, after they have been registered under the draft law and while they are waiting to be call ed into the service are being formu- lated by a committee on education and traiing of the war department.
 Details of the proposal which is to be submitted within a few days to the general staff for it's approval were revealed today by the senate military committee in making public the testimony of Dr. c. R. Mann of the war department who appeared before it in connection with the pend- ing manpower bill.
 A list of 359 colleges at which the youths between IS and 21 years are to undergo military training has al- ready been prepared. At these schools they can become candidates for parti- cular positions in the army suited to their qualifications.
 Those especially adapted for com missions will be given special train ing. All are to be enlisted in the stud ent army training corps.
 During the hearing, Dr. Mann re- vealed that the war department is discouraging the establishing of mili- tary courses by various colleges.

GERMANS bEGIN TU REALIZE PART OF
 AMERICA IN WAR
No Wonder Voices Are Tiff : ted Against Kaiser,
 Says Lord Reading

Atlantic City, \. J., June 29.-The vital part which America is playing in the world was has at last begun to dawn upon the people of Germany, de spite efforts of the German govern ment to conceal it, declared Lord Reading, British ambassador to the United States, in a speech tonight be- fore the Maryland State Bar associa- tion.
 "Germany may well reel with amazement.' he asserted, Just now 100000 Americans must be in France, according to Secretary Ba- ker. You have not only continued the supply of munitions and enor- mously increased your production but have supplied the allies with the food so necessary not only for the armies but also for the civilian pop ulation The troublesome and crit ical period of preparation has passed and the period of fruition is arriving.
 Ut is no small wonder that voices are lifted in Germany against those like Dr. Helfferich and Admiral von Capelle and others who predicted so falsely that America would never play an important part in the war.
