VAR CONTRACTORS
Will LOSE PROFITS
Soethals Says Allowance
on Uncompleted Work
is to be Limited
COMMISSIONS
FOR MORE MEN

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. Arrange
ments for the reorganization Of the War
Depar .ment and the army itself now are
n process Of formulation by the general
,taff and soon will be before Secretary
Baker. Orders for the actual breakine
up of the army cannot be promulgated
until these plans finally are completed
as the rehabilitation program Is de-
pendent TO some extent upon the adop-
ion Of reorganization policy.
The secretary has indicated That new
legislation VIII be necessary 10 carry
out the reorganization, and II is ex-
pected 10 lay a definite program before
Congress at the earliest possible mo-
nent. This may reopen the whole ques-
ion Of universal military training.
Existing law authorizes the mainte-
nance OF a regular army OF approx
mately $4,000 men. OF the 100000
men now under arms, probably not
more than 100000 are under obligation
10 serve beyond the restoration OF
peace
The general stoff's recommendations
as TO the way the new regular army is
10 be formed Is expected TO embody the
principle Of universal military training
A bill prepared by the staff just before
he United Stales entered the war out
lined the general scheme which is likely
10 be advocated, modified in the light OF
war experiences and The results Of the
operation OF the selective draft system.
At this time It was planned TO con-
tinue the garrisons for the Philippines,
Hawaii and Panama on a voluntary
basis by selecting men who elected
army life after they hsd passed Through
their periods Of training. Outside OF
these overseas forces, however. the staff
proposed to remodel the standing army
into a strictly training force, composed
OF officers and non-c0mmissloned OIL
GERS. who should be developed into eX-
perts in getting raw material quickly
into Shape and through whose hands,
year after year. should pass the classes
called 10 the eol0rs for training.
Both the commissioned and non-com-
missioned ranks OF this training force,
it was planned, should be recruited from
men who displayed Witty during their
training There is reason TO expect that
some similar project will again be
brought forward, although neither |
President Wilson nor Secretary Baker
IS now committed TO universal training
as national policy. In his last annual
report Mr.. Baker said it was not a
question that should be decided while
The country was at war.
Demobllization Of the existing officers
corps, both line and staff, forms a sep
avte element Of the present problems
OF the' War Department. IL Is certain
that efforts viii be made 10 keep men
who have shown themselves qualified In
such relationship with tho government
that their services can be quickly OBJ
talned In case OF need.

DEMOCRATS SEEK
CONTROL OF SENATE.
Contests for Three Seats
Are Planned to Insure Sup
port of President
EXPECT FIGHT
FOR HENRY FORD

WASHINGTON, Nov. il-Contests
for the seats OF one Republican SEN
ator and possibly for the seats OF three
are being planned by Democratic mem
bers OF the Senate, It became known
yesterday.
Fear OF the final failure OF President
Wilson's plan for a league Of nations
after peace is firmly re-established in
understood 10 be one reason back Of
the determination TO make the contests
The loss by the Democratic party Of a
majority In the Senate, 10 was pointed
out, was altogether unexpected, and
with at least one Democratic Senator
set against the league OF nations plan
this project OF the Administration is
now in hot water
The Democrats are planning 10 con-
test for a New Hampshire Senate seat.
Senator-elect Moses, Rupubican. won
by a majority Of only 1920. Anex-
ander Murchie, chairman Of the Demo
cratic State committee, Yesterday
wired Senator POmerene (OhiOl that
be would protest against seating Mr..
Moses when he presents his creden-
tlals.
Contests may be made in West vlr-
yinla and Michigan.
A contest for the seat Of Truman II.
Newberry the Rupubllcan elected TO
The Senate from Michigan. Is expected
also. Should Democrats be successful
in putting members Of their party In
seats to which Republicans have been
elected IL would not only result in a
Democratic majority in the Senate but
would overcome the loss Of the one
Democratic Senator who opposes the
league OF nations, and give the Admin
istratlon the whip hand.
So far as West Virginia Is con
cerned The Republicans are confident
they can disclose a far worse con
diti0n In the Democratic campaign than
anything which can be said about the
way the Republican fight was handled |
As a matter Of fact, II any Of the |
Senator's actually elected Is removed |
as a result Of the contests it Will be |
an absolutely new thing. In the his 4,
tory OF the Senate no contest has ever /
been successful.
However. control OF the Senate /
means so much TO the Democrats this |
time, with a Democratic President In |
the White House and peace treating to 1
be ratified, and the problems Of peace 4
and reconstruction, that precedent may
oe upset
While control by two OF four votes /
means little on divisions II would give /
control Of the powerful committees TO |
the Democrats. particularly control 10 |
the Foreign Relations Committee, whero |
any resolution to Join in with a league !
Of world Powers 70 preserve peace |
would be framed or approved, II It was |
drawn at the White House.

French Artillery Officers Made Care
full Measurements, and the Rest
OF the Matter Was Easy.


Careful measurements of two holes
made by a single shell in passing
through two awnings in a Paris fac
tory enabled French artillery officers
to locate the. great German long-range
gun by feat of mathematics. The
two awnings were several feet apart
and the relation nf one to the other
gave perfect dats. IN the course which
the shell had talSou as it approached
the earth. After the apertures had
been measured tc the one-thousandth
part of an inch and the direction of
the shells fall exactly established, the
earlier career of the shell became q
problem on paper. By applying the
laws governing the flight Of projectiles,
and allowing for the wind. the state
of the atmosphere and other consider
atoms, French artillery officers were
able to follow back the course of the
shell to the mouth of the cannon in
the forest of st. Gobain, after which
it was speedily demolished by French
artillery.

No AIimony From Soldiers.

The supreme court of New York
state has no power to enforce an or
der for alimony against a soldier In
the United States army, declared JUS
tice Aspinall in the supreme court in
Brooklyn in the case of Mrs. Florence
Merriman against Rapley P. Merriman,
private. 1t is the first decision of
its kind here. Justice Aspinall gave
the opinion in acting upon the request
of Mrs. Merriman's attorney, who de-
manded Merriman be forced to pay
$40 on the first business day of each
month. at is obvious that the defend
ant could not comply with direction
that he pay $40 on the first business
day Of each month";" said the justice,
when $40 is more than the rate of
pay of his grade, and the time of pay
ment of q soldier is necessarily very
irregular. York Evening Sun.

DEERi PICTURE OUT OF PLACE
British authorities Request Removal
or Naisere Portrait From
Tonga Kings Palace.

Gernany's interesting relations with
the little Kingdom OF Tonga in the
South Pacific are recalled by recent
Incidents there. A few years back
life-size portrait Of the kaiser mounted
within Il massive gilt frame was pre-
scented by The German government to
King George Tuboa II, the present
ruler of the archipelago. Forthwith
this picture adorned the walls of the
wooden palace at Nukualofa, the cap
ital of the kingdom. Germans-who,
shortly before the war, were rather
conspicuous in Tonga-were wont to
admire the painting when they came
to pay their respects to King George.
Moreover, close at hand were busts of
Emperor Frederick of Germany and
Prince Won Bismarck. So delightfully."-
informal in many ways is the Tongan
court that the busts did excellent serv-
ice as hat racks on festive occasions.
But not so with the present from the
"All Highest" But alack for the big
picture of the kaiser in little Tonga
After the war had been in progress for
some time the fact of its existence and
whereabouts came within the purview
of the British government and that
government requested the Tongan gov
eminent to remove it from the palace.
The pith of this request was that Ton
ga is a British protectorate. But not
withstanding Tonga is a British pro- |
tectoratc it is the last Independent |
kingdom in the Pacific and it pyides |
itself on having not only Il monarch |
but cabinet and parliamcDt.-New |

Wisdom of DAYLIGHT SAVING.

Who ever thinks nowadays that the
sun is an hour behind the clock? Who
ever tells himself it "really is five
o'clock" when 1t Is six? We go peace
ably to bed when the clock tells us to ;
we arise by the same token; we eat,
play and work by the Promethean In
strument which, for war and common
sense purposes, is stealing GO golden
minutes every day from the sun to
benefit the human race. And nary a
vulture of any description is tearing
at the clocks vitals for filching the
same.
Here and there is little petty thiev-
cry such as the beginning of baseball
games at $3.50 o'clock that used to be-
gin at three o'clock; but the public is
too busy with great work, and at pres
ent with the races and golf recreation
to worry about that. In general, Amer
lea is living by the clock as it should
do, and the wisdom of the daylight saw
ings law is thousand times manifest.

million and half of our boys over

ing camps il this country. But our
efforts are mo- going to rest here. The
available men in class one has been
pretty well exhausted now, and Uncle
Sam, after considering various plans
for securing new supply to draw
from, has decided to go beyond the
present draft age and draw men who
are unattached, men who are a little
younger, and men who are older. a
bill prepared by the administration has
lust been passed, extending the Sc
lective draft of all men between the
age of 10 and 45. This new draft
will produce one and half times as
many eligibles asAthe first draft did.
Experts figure that the extra two
years from Is to 20 will yield close to
two million soldiers and the extension
from 81 to Do will yield million or
SO more. This, with the draft, will
provide total army of about seven
million which is the goal at present
aimed at.
The idea, of the new bill is to give
Uncle Sam authority to mobolize his
maximum man-power, by giving him
4 larger range of eligibles to choose
rom. 1t will allow him to bring into
he service the men who are not only
pest fitted for it, but who can be with

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring. Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop in Europe and the lack of
ocean tonnage to move stocks of cane
sugar isolated in far away ports.
GRADUATED sugar, home grown, was
being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents a pound.
The price of brown sugar in Lisbon,
Portugal, fixed by governmental order,
was $1.04 to SLIP pound.
BY comparison the price of beet
sugar in Sweden is ID cents a pound

SUGAR EXPORTS SMALL
TO NEUTRAL NATIONS

Only 797 tons of refined sugar were
shipped from America to neutral ma
lions during the first Eve months of
this year. This amounted to only 80
per cent. Of the total exports to all
countries, Mexico received more than
half the amount we exported to neu-
trails.
