NEW ARMY TO Be IN
FRANCE IN SPRING
MEN NOW IN AMERICAN CAMPS
TO COMPLETE THEIR TRAIN
ING IN FRANCE.
Additional Hundreds Of Thousands OF
Fighting Men to Be Secured Through
a Second Draft Which May
Be Made Any Time.

Misunderstanding are now In
preparation at the war department,
according to information obtained on
September % to have a large proper
ton of the drafted men now entering
training camps in France by early
spring.
1t is proposed to give the men the
rudiments of military duty and then
transport them to the American base
in France. There they will be put
through course of intensive training.
BY these means it is believed they
will develop much more rapidly as
soldiers besides opening the way to
the training of additional hundreds of
thousands to be secured through Sec
Ond draft.
Preparing for Second Call.
This call will be much sooner than
has generally been believed, it is init
mated, and this is largely the reason
why the war department is so much
interested at present in proceeding
with the immediate examination of the
100000 registered men who have not
yet been called.
This proposition is tied up temper
arily by the fact that an appropria-
ton is necessary before the work can
proceed. The required appropriation
is included in the general deficiency
bill now before congress.
Figures are extremely taboo with
the war department these days, but it
is no violation of the spirit of the let
ter Of the censorship provision to
state that it is hoped to move approx
imately 125,OOO to 100000 of the draft
ed men to France to complete their
training there.
1t is hoped in some quarters that
this can be done by the end Of April.
These troops would not be available
for trench work until late in the sum-
mer at the earliest, but they would be
in France and the political effect of
their numbers. would be great.
Where there was talk only a few
weeks ago of 10000 men in France
by spring. the prospects now are that
the active fighting forces-regulars
and national guard, will be nearer

maintains that she cannot exist with.

that these exports cannot be gotten

that further supplies of foodstuffs and

"The question the United States

just as much from the fighting

HELM ACCUSES
FIVE LEGISLATORS
RERNSTORFF SLUSH FUND SCAM
DIAL TO HAVE AN AIRING
AS RESULT.
Alabama Representative Claims That
Members Of Senate and House Have
Acted SuspiciousIy and Probe
Will Follow.

Washington.-The Bernstorff 1000
slush fund scandal took a new turn
on September q, when Representative
Thomas Helm, of Alabama, created a
sensation by naming five legislators
and demanding information of what
connection they had, if any, with pro-
German activities.
With his startling accusations he
Immediately removed all doubt that
there will be a congressional investi-
cation. Nothing can prevent it now,
whether the administration wishes or
not.
Goaded to name the men he ac-
cuses, he named these:
Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin,
Representative Fred A. Britten of
Chicago, Representative William E..
Mason of Chicago, Representative Pat
rick d. Norton of North Dakota and
Representative John M. Baer of North
Dakota.
These names were brought out by
Heflin when he appeared before the
house rules committee which is con-
sidering resolutions offered by Norton
and Fordney of Michigan to probe the
Bernstorff fund and it's application to
congress.
When word came that he had men,
toned these five, sentiment demand
ing an immediate and exhaustive in
quiry spread like wildfire through the
membership of the house. Republi-
cans and Democrats joined in demand
ing that the house take up the matter
and find out once and for all if Rep
resentative Heflin had any ground
for mentioning names in connection
with his German propaganda cause.
If the resolution is not reported soon
any one of the several members is
likely to rise to point of highest priv
ilege and force either Heflin's proof or
his expulsion from the house.
OF the men named, four were, in
Washington Thursday. Senator La Fol
lette declined to answer questions con-
corning the Heflin charges. Norton,
Britten and Baer issued warm re-
tOrts. Mason was in Chicago.
In an impassioned speech Heflin de-
manded that the rules committee ask
for general investigation so that he
might learn:
l. Where the money came from
that produced literature supporting
the anti-draft bill of Representative
Mason.
2. Where the money came from that
produced literature supporting the
Britten resolution to exempt German
Americans from military service
abroad.
3. What congressman are planning
to line up with the Nonpartisan league
that elected Baer and which is said to
oppose the war.
4. Who was in the organization La
Toilette is championing that would
leave the president without an army.
