House floor. yesterday, In opposing
the so-called "alien Stacker bill, de-

)AKER PLANS
ON DRAFT
MEET DEFEAT
mate Committee Opposed
to Excluding Men Past
Z 81 Years.

In spite of Secretary of War
bakers wishes. the Senate Military
tommittee has determined that men
I years old since draft day should
lot be released from the rolls. The
jcrnmittee sent in its bill yesterday.
Ind accompanied 1t with q report
feading:
sIt might be readily suggested
hat persons who have attained the
tee of 81 years since Registration
bay should be removed from the
fsts. The committee has given
sareful consideration to this sug-
kestion and recomend that IL not
be done.
Registrants have been classified
~ the War Department in the order
n their availability for military
|ervice and it Is not believed that
hose who have attained the age of
IL years since Registration Day
Fhould be removed from the lists
because only those who are in class
|ne will be called for military serv-
Zee and they are by the very terms
~ the classification persons whose
|eryices can better be spared than
ian the services of younger persons
|n more deferred classes.
This argument might be carried
10 the extent OF including older
|nen up to the age Of. let US say
4 5 years. But the answering argu-
|nent is that the effort of classifica-
jon is so great and expensive and
he number OF persons past the age
Pf 81 years who fall in class one is
20 Relatively small that the effort
Is not believed to be worth the re-
Eult.
'sAs TO persons who have attained
Pie age of 81 years since Registra-
|ioh Day the effort has already been
made and there seems to be no
|tlausible argument for removing
hem from the lists"
The report also says that by
registering men 81 since draft day:
Glass one will be recruited to a
POINT which it is hoped and believ-
ID by the Provost Marshal General
|gfn furnish all men needed for sny
purpose in the immediate prospect
With the result that we shall be
well fortified in our effort to raise
pur armies without going beyond
flass one"

Marine CORPS WILL
FIGURE in FIGHTING
Indications Are Crack Unit Will
Have Important Part.

United States marines are de-
stined to play an important part in
the prosecution OF the war.
The sea-soldiers will be in the
thick of the fray alongside their
comrades in the army.
This was the view of navy Off
GERS Tuesday night, following Secre-
tary Daniels announcement early in
the day that the President had de-
cided to reappoint Mai. Gen. George
Barnett as commandant Of the
Marine Corps.
The marines were the first branch
Of the service to be fully recruited
to war strength. The corps has
been trebIed in size. Its personnel
now includes 1880 Officers and
$1,000 men. At the outbreak Of the
war IL was composed OF approx
mately 400 officers and $4,000 men.
The organization is officially re-
cognized to have attained its high
est efficiency.
4 detachment OF marines was
among the first American troops to
land in France. Up to recently they
had been on guard duty chiefly.
They are now understood TO have
been reassembled into a separate
unit. This unit is rapidly being
reinforced.
Disposition OF the marines. Of
course, is UP to Gen. Perzhing. Navy
authorities believe the commander Of
the expeditionary forces will make
good use of this thoroughly trained
organization.
One high navy official said last
night he had no doubt that Gen.
Pershing would use the marines in
the front line trenches. They are
eager for actual contest with the
enemy. Their friends are confident
they will win many more laurels to
their already brilliant crown.
At present deteachments Of ma
rines are on duty in Haiti and San
Domingo. Every battleship has a
marine detachment aboard.

Boosts His Prices
For Hauling Goods
Until Police Object

Floyd Smith, coiored driver for
the Columbia Transfer Company,
evidently thought that the cost
of hauling goods should go UP, as
well as the high cost of living,
for yesterday he charged the
Palais Royal department store
$69.oe for hauling goods a few
blocks, when the real charge
should have been 90 cents and two
cents war tax.
The cashier was much better at
figures than Smith, and when De-
tective Warren arrived Smith was
more than certain that the bill
was a little too high. Smith is
20 years old and lives at 81 Canal
street southwest. He is locked

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1918-09-05


'sThe war will change very suddenly
from the appearance of a close, drawn
conflict to an absolute German sur
render. Bearing this in mind we must
insist upon three absolutely essential
conditions to a satisfactory peace.
The first is that Germany shall be
invaded. Too long she has been led
to suppose she is inviolate. This de-
lusion must be shattered.
Second, Berlin must be occupied
and the treaty of peace signed in the
very hall wherein was Matched the
plot for war.
Third and most important Of all,
Germany must pay the last penny Of
expense her outrageous conflict has
cost the Allies.
aThis is both good policy and just
ice. Germany then cannot prepare
another war and while she has such
debt she win not need an army or
navy. In 1915 she planned to exact
four thousand millions from France
alone. The German revolution could
only result in bringing the social dem
ocrats to the top. These people, save
a small minority, have in the main
sustained Germany's attacks on her
neighbors Just as the Pan-Americans
have done. We owe them no con-
sidsration.

ture will inherit the fruit Of her Grim
inal conspiracy against the world"
