CR0WDER STUDIED
DRAFT FOR YEARS
lBy United Press

WASHINGTON, July i3.-whon the
call came 10 Provost General Enooh
Crowder to handle Uncle Sans big
selectlve draft. he was ready because
he had spent his entire career in prep
aratlon.
Rep. Greene. Vermont, who. as
member Of the house military affairs
committee has come into intimate con-
tact with Gen. Crowder tells how the
latter spent a lifetime studying for the
big Job he now holds
when Gen. Crowder was a Junior
lieutenant at an obscure army post in
Texas he chanced upon a copy OF old
civil war draft regulations, " Greene
said
"He read them over. first out OF
curiosity. Then he began to think how
those rules could have been made
more just and equitable
Gradually he evolved has ideas OF
how a draft should be run and with
the idea came the conviction that some
day In this country there would be the
need OF a great army and that this army
would be raised. not from volunteers.
but by process Of selection from the
total man power OF the country.
Meanwhile Crowder was advancing
In the army step by step.
when the United States entered the
war Gen. Crowder was the one man
IN the army who was ready TO go 10
Congress with a concrete suggestion
for the framing OF a selectIye draf.
law"
Other members OF the military com
mittee say Crowder's suggestions were
written into tie bin almost without
charge

Germans ARE TOLD
Belittling Policy Evidently
Inspired by War Lords to
Bolster Up Courage
CRITIC TRIES
BOASTING PLAN

AMSTERDAM, July i3.-The military
contributor 10 the Norddeutsche Allge-
meine Zeitung in discussing Secretary
Of War Bakers recent announcement as
to the number Of American soldiers
sent overseas evidently writes from Of
fetal inspiration. His arguments are
similar to those OF Northumberland
Won Ardenne, who in the Dusseldorf
Nachrichten last Tuesday asserted that
he did not believe the figures OF Ameri-
can man power and that numbers do
not count, anyhow.
''We are unable to verify the accuracy
OF Secretary Bakers figures" writes
the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung's
correspondent. However, they are only
intended to throw dust into the eyes OF
the world. The large number claimed
for the last three months seems to us
quite impossible in view Of the shortage
Of enemy tonnage" The writer then
presents a calculation Of his own and
comes to the conclusion ut can't be
DONE"
Let us assume that Secretary Bak-
er's figures are correct" he continues.
I'VE need not be alarmed. A nation
which has fought a world OF enemies
four years cannot be frightened by the
American bogy. We are unimpressed.
They are cannon fodder and not the
equals Of our war proved. unconquer-
able troops.
what is a million OF Americans COM
pared othe ten million well trained and
equipped Russians who have fallen out
Of the battle line? Where could the
Americans have raised the requisite
number Of officers and non-cOmmissiOn-
ed officers so expeditiously
The writer then goes on to argue that
what Great Britain failed TO do Ameri-
ca cannot accomplish. He asserts that
the American fighting men cannot be
properly equipped because the Ameri-
can war material manufacturers are
swindlors.
Moreover" he says, "our experience
with the American soldiers has not
served to fill us with Overmuch respect
for them, although many doubtless are
regulars and comparatively well trained
We would not be afraid Of 5000 000 Of
them. They do not know what they
are fighting for"
After similar criticisms of the Ameri-
cans as fighting men the military con-
tributor arrives at the following con-
clusion: "We do. not believe that there
is a large number Of them in the battle
line. and even If IL were true we will
whip them anyhow"

BY Newspaper Enterprisel Association
STOCKHOLM, July i3-Flnnish re-
dictionary white Guard newspapers
are again reappearlng under German
and White Guard protection. The
leading Red Guard paper in Finland,
the Helsingfors Tyomies, has been
suppressed
All the papers now allowed to ap-
pear declare for a monarchy instead
Of a republic in Finland. One, the
Swensk Tldnlng. says:
"A German prince is the only posi-
BILE sovereign for Finland"
Most other papers are openly pro-
German, but make no suggestion as
to the nationality Of the coming king.
In Abo, second Finnish city, a mon
archist association has been formed.
which has issued an appeal blaming
the absence Of permanent head to
the state for the Russian upheaval, and
pleading for a monarchial arrange
ment similar TO Sveden's.
Opposition to the monarchy plan is
certain from the Finnish socialists and
the defeated Red Guards who return TO
their country. Opposition to Ger
man monarch is also developing among
Swedish liberals, who are circulating
the propaganda in Finland against the
Germanizlng OF that country and the
choice OF German king.

GERMAN drive IS
Held IN CHECK
Something Beside Preparing
Storm Troops is
Responsible
FAIL TO REACT
AFTER ATTACKS

WASHINGTON, July i3.-The con-
viction that the German high command
has encountered serious obstacles In
pressing the offensive on the western
front is gaining ground in the miIds
Of officials here. They cannot believe
that renewal Of the attack would be
deferred voluntarily when it is obvfo A
that every days additional delay works
against the ultimate success OF the
whole purpose Of forcing a military de-
cision this year, to which the Ger
mans are committed.
Secretary Baker said yesterday that
nothing definite is known here rela-
tive to the reasons that have com
PEELED the German delay. He made 10
clear, however, that the time that has
elapsed since the last German effort
and the failure Of the enemy to react
against repeated successful local cOun-
ter attacks by French, British and
American troops were accepted as con-
elusive evidence. that the German Of.
fensive was being held In check by
some consideration other than the
purely practical one Of preparing the
storm troops.
Meanwhile the steady pressure OF
local operations by the Allies along the
entire battle area from Ypres to
Rheims continues. Not day has pass
ed now for more than a week in which
some new territory has not been wrest-
ed from the enemy, and 1t Is reported
that nearly GOO prisoners have been
taken.
The similarity OF the tactics en-
ployed by both the French and British
armies is taken here to indicate thai
the 'nibbling" process is part of
definite plan being carried out by Cen
eral Foch, supreme commander, prob
ably to harass the enemy in his prep
arations and feel out the German lines
to locate the points from which he
plans to strike.
