ton bill authorizing the president to call
skilled experts in industry or agriculture
into the military service irrespective of

ed to the Senate Monday.
Chairman Chamberlain and other COM
mittee members said last night that the
amendment of the draft law will not in
clude provision for exemption of men
who reach 81 years of age without being

by Secretary Baker, but since develop
ment of opposition from Provost Marshal
General Crowder, it is understood that
Mr. Baker will not press for the amend
ment.

agricultural experts viii give the presi-
dent power TO take registered mechanics,

ARGENTINA HAS FIGHTING SPIRIT.
Recalls Military Attaches from Berlin
and Vienna

Buenos Aires, Feb. 2.-The minister Of
war has recalled Argentina's military at.
taches from Berlin and Vienna In politi.
cal circles this action is regarded as sig
nficant and connected with the sinking
of the Argentine steamship Ministro
Irriendo, Jan 20.
The situation here is tense and the
authorities are maintaining more than
their usual silence on the subject, but
several events at the government house
late yesterday led to the belief that the
government at last is preparing to take
an important step. After an unusually
long lapse of time, the foreign office yes
terday replied to the notes of Peru and
Uruguay which notified Argentina of
their rupture of relations with Germany.
and that of Brazil informing Argentina
of her sister country's state of war with
the central powers.

Plants Using Hydro Electric Power May
Operate Under Low Heat.

State Fuel Administrator II. J. NJ
Jones has received from Federal Admin

modifies the operation of water power

"The federal fuel administrator states
that plants not otherwise exempted and
using hydro electric power many operate
if they wish, but they are permitted to
use only enough fuel as is necessary to
provide heat sufficient to prevent dam
age from freezing or serious injury to
products, While the state fuel admin.
istrator has no authority to prevent the
use of hydro-electric power. he urges all

from the purchasing public.

The justices of the supreme court left
Friday evening for their homes after
spending the day in the reception room
of the State House studying the opinions
which each Justice had drafted to be read
at the session of supreme court which
convened on Feb. 5. The same docket
that was used at the January term of
court will be used this term, which win
materially save in the expense as well
as in the time which those who are hust-
ling on other work connected with the
draft would have to give if new dock
ct were made.
The opinion prevails among the at
torneys that this will be short term of

them have not been able TO prepare their
