In the Kansas City Star. which ht
chose months ago as the instrument
ll ough which he would begin hi:
campaign 1or the presidency, he, tul
the first time, accuses President vii
son OF being responsible for 4 condi-
ton in the army and training camps
(which, ii true, were well calculated t.
plant tear in the heart OF every moth
cr and father who has son in khaki
to arouse in every cantonment spirit
OF unrest and rebellion.
by suggestion he would have the
people bcneve that every camp is a
pcstllcntial spot, every youth stricken
with disease, every boy unclothcd,
every soldier sent to Europe un-
armed.

blame anybody" is his vain effort to
cover up the teal purpose OF his reit-

Washington. d. C., Jan. 3.-All

from Glass l under the new selective
service plan. That means the nation
fighting is to be done by young men
without families dependent upon their
labor for support, and unskilled in

work.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
announces the new policy in an ex-
liaustisc report upon the operation of
the selective draft law submitted to-
day to Secretary Baker and sent to
Congress. He says Class l should
provide men for all military needs OF
the country, and to accomplish that
object he urges amendment of the
draft law SO as to provide that all
men. who have reached their twenty
first birthday since June S, 1917, shall
be required to register for classifi-
cation.
Also in the interest of fair distribu-
ton OF the military burden, he pro-
poses that the quotas of the States or
districts be determined hereafter on
the basis of the number of men in
Class l. and not upon population.
Available for foreign service, reports
indicate, there are 10000 physically
and otherwise qualified men under the
present registration who will be found
in Class l when. all questionnaires
have been returned and the classifi-
cation period ends February IS. To
this the extension of registration 10
men turning Fl since june S of last
year and thereafter. will add 100000

All wool clip in warehouses, that

first The remainder will be appor-
toned by the government for the civil

BILLY" Sunday
Sued by Writer,
Who Asks 100000
Il. c. Weir Says He Wrote
Book Evangelist Sold
as His Own

Billy Sunday, the evangelist, was
sued in the Supreme Court yesterday
for 100000 by Hugh c. Weir, of New
Rochelle. Weir alleges that the evan
gelist failed to live up to a contract to
pay him 80 per cent of the proceeds
from the sale Of the book "Love Stories
of the Bible" which Weir says he
wrote, but which was sold as the work
OF Mr.. Sunday. The alleged contract,
according to Mr.. Weir, also provided
that he was to write for the defendant
othe: books, including Great Sinners
OF the Bible" Great Hypocrites of
the Bible" and "Great Mysteries of
the Bible" An autobiography to be
entitled BILLY Sundays Own Story"
also was to be written by the plaintiff.
he says.
Mr.. Weir says that he was to write
an Introduction for each of the books.
which was to have the autographic
signature of Billy Sundey. He declares
IN his complaint that Mr. Sunday told
him that, he could sell great numbers
OF the books to wealthy supporters of
his cvangclistic campaigns, including
John ID. Rockefeller, jr., George W.
Perkins, Mrs. Finley J. Shepard and
!ohn Wanamaker, and that a de luxe
eultloH with the Sunday autograph
would be published at $40 or SIS a
copy. A special royalty of 33 1-3 per
cent was to be asked from the pub
Usher on this edition. He added that
Mr. Sunday was to advance $4,000 to
hlm, to- be later deducted from his
share of the royalties.
bll!y Sunday is now cut of the c;ty.
but Edward r. Green. his attorney,
served his answer yesterday on Miss
Lucille Pugh, counsel for Mr.. Weir.
who made it public, although it has
not yet been filed.
Mr.. Sunday, through his attorney,
denies that he owes any money to the
plaintiff. He says that Mr.. Weir
agreed to collaborate with him on the
preparation of Love Stories of the
Bible and that the plaintiff has re-
ceived the compensation provided for
them. -

Burt brought suit against Mr.. Weir
