NEXT DRAFT MAY
COME IN APRIL
MAY BASE STATE QUOTAS
ON TOTAL NUMBER MEN
IN CLASS Al.

Washington, March 5.-An-
nouncement of the date of the next
draft is imminent. The provost
marshal generals office has pre-
pared "an important announcement
which is believed to deal with the
time and method of summoning
the second levy. The best opinion
is that the first of the men will
move to camp in April.
Publication OF the announcement
is held up for action by congress
on pending amendments to the Sc
lective service act. The most inn
portant CT the proposed changes, in
the opinion of Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder, is that which will give
him authority to base state quotas
on the total number of men in
class Al instead of the total reg
istered.
Preparations have been made for
summoning the remaining negroes
certified under the first draft. Be
tween 10000 and $4,000 of these
were called, but only half of them
have been sent to training camps
The inadvisability of centralizing
these troops in Southern camps and
the fact that the army medical au-
thorities do not believe it safe to
transfer them to colder Northern
camps during the winter are given
as the principal reasons for the de-
lay.

MEN Of ENEMY
BLOOD IN ARMY
HELD FROM FRONT
NOT DISLOYAL, BUT WOULD
OFFEND FRANCE AND
OTHER ALLIES.

Washington, March 5.-Officers
and men in the army who are OF
enemy nationality but of whose 10y
atty there is no question, will not
he permitted to serve on the battle
fronts but will be detailed to insul-
ar posts when their regiments are
ordered to France.
The war department has adopted
as policy for the treatment OF
such cases, the sending OF such men
to duty in insular possessions, re-
leasing men in the regiments there
who can be sent to France.
A recent case OF the kind was
that of Captain Franz !. Feinler,
chaplain Of a regular regiment and
who wenr with his regiment to
France. lie is of German birth and
speaks with a marked German ac-
cent, although he has been in the
army since 1909. No doubt has
been cast upon his loyalty, but it
has been decided by General Per-
shing that the feelings of the French
authorities must be considered and
no man of enemy nationality be in
cluded IN his forces, even though
he is personally satisfied to have
them. Chaplain Feinler, therefore,
was sent back and assigned to duty
at Fort Shafter, Hawaiian islands.
Many regular army non-commis-
stoned officers and privates are of
German birth, and have failed to
take out naturalization papers.
When the units to which they be-
long are ordered to France such
men are detached and transferred
to regiments in the insular posses
sions. The war department feels
that this is no reflection on the
transferred men. 1t has no doubt
Of their readiness to serve the Unit
ed tSates wholeheartedly wherever
they may be sent.

was bad.
NJ. T, Craig, manager of the Pur-
cell Wholesale Grocery Company,
denied the statement made by York
that he had purchased a portion Of
the goods from the Purcell Com
pany and that he was told he could
return articles he could not sell.
Frank Gates, of the Tyler & Simp-
son Company, denied that his COM
pany had sold the condemned cheese
to the defendant, as the latter
claimed. Mr.. Gates testified his
company handled that brand, but
would not sell it if it was spoiled.
The cheese in question was a small
case of Neufchatel and was in the
last stages of decomposition. Mr..
Gates declared men employed by
that concern had positive instruc-
tions not to sell spoiled goods. He
defined "swells," clippers and
"springers." Goods OF last years
pack might be sold today and prove
"swelis." Mr.. Gates denied he had
told the negro to bring back any
goods he could not sell. The ped
dler was charged the regular price
for everything sold him.
Mr.. Gates opened one Of the cans
Of fish and from it arose an odor
that caused the mayor to order its
quick removal from the room. A
can of cherries, swelled at both
ends, was opened by Mr.. Gates and
the contents found to be rotten. lie
also opened a can of green grapes
that proved to be fairly good. The
can containing the grapes had been
mashed in shipping so that it could
not be sold to a merchant.
J. c. Carroll, of the Main Cafe,
stated he had bought two cases OF
kraut from York and found several
of the cans swelled. and that York
come in a day or two and took it
back.
T. P. Jones stated that he also
bought kraut from York and that
several of the cans were swelled. He
bought seven or eight cases and
went to see Mr.. Craig about it and
Mr.. Craig said that must be the
iraut that was given York to feed
his hogs, and added; 1--WE got our
money back on that from the can

London. March S.-The cam
naion for the next general election
ALREADY has begun. Arthur IIender-
son, former member of the war
council. finding that the secretary
shin of the labor party compels him
to sncnd most of his time in Lon
don. has decided to resign his seat
in the house Of commons from the
Barnard Castle division OF Durham.
and has been invited to contest the
southern division of Eastman.
Mr. Henderson addressed meet
inc last night in Eastman, making
a strong appeal for the abolition
OF secret diplomacy, for peace by
cancellation and league of nations.
He said that before the war began
tine people had entrusted foreign
affairs to statesmen and diplomat
lists, and were paying dearly for
their neglect. 1t had to be recog-
nizcd that no greater disaster had
occurred during the war than the
fatal omission to do the utmost to
keep Premier kcrcnsky and his gov
ernmcnt in power in Russia. The
people must be on their guard
against a rcptition OF the zane ia
tai policy over wider field.
Draws Dark Picture
1t is highly improbable, Mr.. Hen
derscn declared that the war can
be ended by a decisive PruSslan
military triumph. 1t may end by a
process OF exhaustion, and that
meant a continuance of the war with
all its horrors until the destruction
Of human life and material of one
or both sets OF bolligerents make
continuation impossible. Such a
termination would be a disaster OF
the first magnitude to mankind.
There remains, he said, third
alternatiyc-a policy of reconcilia-
tion through the combined forces
of labor and socialism to obtain a
real peoples peace. That did not
mean a surrender TO the enemy, or
a patched up peace, or peace at any
price, nor that the people are will
ing TO condone German brutality
or to leave Germany with all her
power for mischief unimpalred.
What the policy OF conciliation
meant was the destruction OF mill
tarism, not only in Germany but
everywhere, he said.
Abolish Compulsory Service?
Mr. Henderson thcn rccitcd the
well known war aims OF the labor
party, including league OF nations.
lie said that such league implied
the complete dcmo~.atization OF the
ministry Of government in all coun-
tries, suppression OF the greed OF
diplomacy and publication OF trea-
ties which must never contravene
the stipulation OF lhc league OF ma
tions. 1t meant the concerted abo-

diately ask the Japanese govern
ment TO take whatever action 1t may
consider necessary to oppose Ger
man propaganda in Siberia and to
protect the military stores at Vladi-
vostok. 1t is believed in Washing
ton that military activity by Japan
is imminent.
Need for Japenese action has been
increased, it is felt, by the signing
of peace by the bolshcviki and the
German invasion of Finland.
Also there are further reports OF
the hostile attitude of the bolshevik
element in Siberia, as well as of the
thousands of released Austro-Ger-
man war prisoners who have been
armed and drilled. A belated dis
patch from Peking says that Rus

Washington, March 5.-Discuss-
ing reports OF possible action by ia
pan in Siberia, Senator Lewis of
Illinois, Democratic whip in the
senate, today declared there was no
agreement or understanding between
the United States and Japan on the
subject.
Pacific coast people Senator Lew
is said, had expressed fear of ia
pans intentions and advised him
that an alliance governing Japan's
action provides for freedom to enter
Siberia in return for protecting the
Philippines and American interests
in the Orient.
There is no alliance or no COM
pact between the United States and
Japan of any kind whatever con-
tracing on our part as to Siberia
or Russia, nor allowing privileges
in the Philippines or Mexico not
enjoyed by any other friendly peo-
pie said Senator Lewis.
Whatever Japan is doing in ST.
IBERIA or as against Germany, is in
compliance with the terms OF an ar
rangement, offensive and defensive,
made with Great Britain to oppose
any wrongful advance from any
source in the east against the rights
of either.
The Exact Status.
Japan is not in the war at the
demand Of the United States, and
Japan in no wise exacts anything
now nor does she expect anything
in the future from the United States
as a result of any arrangement or
alliance ever made or contemplated

Death of Mrs. Garard.

Mrs. NJ c. Garard died at her home
two miles north of this city at seven
o'clock Friday evening after an illness
extending over many years
