CALLS KAISER NATIONS JUDAS

London, Jan. 30.-A dispatch to
The Exchange Telegraph from Am
sterdam says the Deutsche Tages
Zeitung openly calls on the German
people to revolt against the present
regime.
"We, too" says this pan-German
organ, "have a Judas among US to-
day. He appears in the red coat and
mantle of Germany's hangman. Who
will save Germany from these trai-
tors but the German people? 1t is
now Germans, help yourself and
God will help YOU "
Although Emperor Williams is not
named in the article, the expression
"Germany's hangman" is meant for
the Kaiser, says the correspondent.

DEPENDS ON EVENTS
ABROAD AND SHIPPING
SITUATION.
ANOTHER DRAWING
Number Will Be Selected To
Establish Status of Addition
al Registrants.

Washington, Jan. 90.--Expansion
of Americas fighting forces beyond
their present strength depends upon
such factors as events abroad and
the shipping situation, Secretary
Baker said last night in disclosing
that the War Department has not
fixed date for another draft nol
even determined how many new men
shall be called.
When Mr.. Baker told the Senate
military committee Monday the
United States would have a million
men in France early this year and
that in all a million and half could
go across if ships could be found to
carry them he referred to the dvis-
ions now in training camps and
those already in Europe Future de.
velopments will decide what addi-
tlonal FORCES VIII be sent
The secretary made clear Tues
day his opinion that if events made
it necessary to call out more than
another increment of half million
men, the executives authority to
draft men for fighting units other
than reserves would be exhausted
and further legislation by Congress
would be necessary. He said, how.
ever, that under the authority to
call two increments of line soldiers
Of 100000 each and sueh additional
members for recruit battalions and
special units "as the president may
deem necessary" the secbnd draft
might bring out in all as many as q
million men.
The Senate committee Tuesday
tentatively approved legislation pro-
posed by the War Department to
provide for the registration of all
youths attaining the age of 81 years
since June 5, authorizing the fixing
of quotas on the basis of Class One
of the new classification and EN-.
powering the president to call men
needed for special industrial or 9th
er work. Provost Marshal General
Crowder, appearing to explain the
bills, told the committee it was pro.
posed to hold a new drawing to es
tablish the order of liability of the
new registrants. When the new men
have been given their serial numbers
their names will be inserted in the
classes to which they may be assign
ed according to plan being worked
out.
1t is assumed, Gen. Crowder said
that most of the new legistrants will
fall into Glass One, giving that class
this year total of some 100000
men. From Glass One it is proposed
to take the next and any future
drafts.
In formal memorandum pre-
senting his views, the general also
disapproved suggestions that the
registrations be extended to men be-
yond the age of 81, saying the eff
fort of classification is great and so
expensive, and the number of per.
sons past 81 years who would fall in
Glass One so small that the task
would not be worth while.
Although Secretary Baker reiter.
ated his desire to have exempted
registered men who reach the age Of
81 years without being called into
the military service, the committee
refused to include such provision
in the legislation. Gen. Crowder
disapproved the suggestion.

BAKER MAKES CONVINC-
ING STATEMENT BEFORE
SENATE COMMITTEE.
GIVES THE DETAILS
Declares Success in Building
Army to be Beyond All Ex-
pectations.

will have an army of half million
men in France early this year, will
a million more trained and equipped
ready to follow as quickly as ships
can be provided to carry them ane
the outlook for ships is not un
promising.
Secretary Baker gave this infor
nation to the nation and to the
world Monday in statement before
the Senate military committee, bar
ing much that until now has beer
carefully guarded with the army's
military secrets, in answering the
charges that the government has
broken down preparing for war.
From early morning until late af-
ternoon the secretary addressed the
committee and crowd including
many members of both houses on
Congress gathered in a big hearing
room of the Senate Office building
He spoke extemporaneously begin
ing with details of the mammoth
task of building an army of million
and half, answering such complaint
of inefficiency as were cited by Sen
ator Chamberlain in his recent
speech and declaring that such in
stanres were isolated and not gen.
eral. Some questions were asked and
Mr.. Baker from time to time had as
sistants to telephone for reports on
specific questions.
Then, toward the close of the day
the secretary delivered dramatic
general statement of the American
war plan, tellingbf the Ginning of the
allied missions, of the day and night
conferences with men from the
scene of battle in which the plans
now being executed were adopted
and of success beyond the most san
guine expectations in building the
army and its industrial support at
home, transporting men aross the
ocean, constructing railroads in
France and preparing to strike the
enemy with every resource at the
country's command.
When Mr.. Baker closed it was ap-
parent he had created profound
impression. Chairman Chamberlain
said SO before he left the stand.
There was no attempt at cross-ex-
animation. The chairman proposed
that the secretary be given a rest,
and it virtually was agreed to recall
him for further examination later,
after the committee has completed
its hearing of officers of the medical
corps, aviation section and other
branches of the service.
While many things disclosed i'm
pressed, the committee was frankly
amazed when told that the men OF 81
national guard and national army d.
visional camps are ready to go at
need. When members wanted to
know why such things had not been
given publicity before. Mr.. Baker
spoke of the reluctance OF military
men revealing their war plans, and
quoted German remarks about
Americas advertisement OF her
preparations.
Emphasizing that he was not there
to defend himself or anybody else,
the secretary urged the committee
again and again to lay bare any
shortcoming or failure of the depart
ment, that it might be corrected.
Frequently he paused to seek strong
er language to describe the devotion
of his associates in the department,
military and civilian.

COULD DO WITH
 THE TOBACCO MONEY

The following statement sounds mighty" big, but it is true, neverthe- less. The amount spent in the United States alone for tobacco annually would enable me to provide thirty thousand families each year with all the necessities of life. In addition mark you, say in addition, I could grant an allowance of $5,000.0O to each of ten thousand other families. To each of ten thousand others. I could give $10,000.00. To each of one thousand other heads of families I could make a Christmas present of S50,000,00. To each of another thou sand l could give $100,000.00; and be- sides, to each of five hundred of my best friends l could make an annual allowance of $1 LOGO, ,000.00 After do- ing all this, l would have left each year $20,000,000.00 to bestow on char itable institutions, and at least sl0.- 0s0,OO0.00 left to keep the wolf from my own door. Do you wonder that church work lags; that schools are poorly equipped and that missionary work suffers for lack of means? Four hundred years ago, tobacco was un- known in civilized lands. Today it is used by men, women and children Doctors say that degeneracy has been the result, and we can not but think that if this craze continues the pie ture for the future is anything but pleasing.-J. c. r.

AND MEAT CONSERVED
Substitutes in Arranging Lunch
for Children.

Wheat and meat can be saved in
thousands Of lunches carried each
morning to school by the children of
this nation. There is no need to de
crease the energy value or nourish-
ment of these lunches, but in addition
TO saving wheat and meat it is pos
sible with the various substitutes to
give a pleasing variety TO the noon
meal at school.
Since whatever meat brought from
home is usually in the form of sand
witches, the problem of the meatless
lunch is not hard for so many good
sandwich filings other than meat are
easy to secure. Here are a few sug-
gesiOns for sandwich filings: Chop
ped hard-boiled egg mixed with salad
dressing; peanut butter; cottage or
cream cheese; chopped dates and nuts.
All are good and the children will like
them as well as meat.
For the wheatless day the sand
witches are more Of a problem, but
toasted corn mullins, rye bread, oat-
meal bread, or oatmeal or corn waters
can take the place of the bread made
of wheat only. The filings can be
anything usually used.

nuts pressed and cut in cubes or slices

ed by a cupful of hot cocoa or soup
