DEMANDING
NEW TROOPS
Between 10000 and $50, 900 New Recruits Must Be
Raised at Once, Sir Auckland Geddes, Minister of
National Service, Tells douse of Commons; This
Estimate Is Declared to Be an Absolute Minimum

London Jan. l4.-Between 100000 and
100000 troops must be raised at once in this
country Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of
national service, told the House Of Commons
to-day. The minister said this was the absolute
minimum, and that it might be necessary during
the year to take from civil life for the army.
Sir Auckland said the government had de-
clded not to introduce consumption in Ireland for
the present, nor to change the military age limit.
Great Britain and the colonies he added, had
raised 100000 men.
Plain facts" said the minister do not sup
port the statement that the armies are melting for
the lack OF recruits and that recruiting has broken
down.
The Withdrawal of Russia means that not
less than 100000 men will be made available
on the western front" said the minister.
notwithstanding Russias detection, the re-
sources Of the allies and America are sufficient to
assure victory, and nothing but psychological
catastrophe can save the central powers.

l5PER CENT. OF
REGISTERED MEN q
IN FIRST CLASS
Local Boards Expect to See
This Number Classified
For First Call

Harrisburg will have a good per-
centage of its 5000 registered men
classified in the rirst class for future
calls for the National Army. to Judge
by the figures arrived at to-day by
members of the three local draft
exemption boards, who are working
ON the missionaries, much of which
have been returned.
Owing in great measure to the vast
number of industries in this section
there were many single young men
without dependent relatives" and
much unskilled industrial and farm
labor.
Members of board No. estimated
that from Is TO 20 per cent. of the
registrants, out OF Il total of 1858
were fixed in the class from which
the first troops wilt be taken. About
the same average prevailed at board

mate guess for the members of that

on owing to the fact that some men,

ed for time that they could not at

Among the incidents that set the
lawyers into chuckles of genuine
mirth was that of the anxious man

provide some valid reason. for keep

however, at every turn, he was about

KREIDER PLANS
TO AID MOTHERS
OF US. SOLDIERS
Seeks Amendment of Insur-
ance Law That Works
Inequity to Aurands
POINTS OUT INJUSTICES
Dependent Parents Have a
Right TO Government Aid
For Sacrifice of Support

Congressman Kreider has intro
duced in the House a bill which If
reported favorably by the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce and passed, will correct what
appears to be a grave inequity in the
present war risk insurance law.
When this law went into effect the
general pension laws automatically
became obsolete. Under the old
pension laws, a mother who depend
ed on her son wholly or in part for
support and who lost that support
because of the death. of her son in
line of duty was entitled to a pen
sion.
Under the war risk insurance law,
this mother would not be entitled to
a pension unless she was a widow,
the law only taking care of "wid-
owed mother"
To Aid Aurands
Congressman Kreider first noticed
this inequity in the law when he en-
deavcred to obtain relief for the
mother of Earl Aurand the first
Harrisburg boy to give his life in
France. in order that democracy
might life" Earl Aurand contribut-
ed to his mothers support and dur
ing his service in the Army he
made an allotment of his salary to
her During the last few months
the allotment was not so large, be-
cause he was buying Liberty bonds,
hut nevertheless he was assisting in
no small way in the support of his
mother and invalid father.
Earl Aurand was a good soldier
and a good patriot and has been
highly commended by his superior
officers for the splendid showing he
made at the front and for the SOL
dierly qualities and bravery display
cd in the engagement with the en-
emy which cost him his life.
1t is without doubt the intention
of the government to aid parents of
boys like this and yet under the war
risk insurance act Mrs. Aurand is
not entitled to a pension because she
is not a widow-yet she is doubly
entitled to a pension as she must not
only care for herself but also her
husband who is helpless because of
almost total blindness The bill
makes no provision at all for de
pendent father"
Needed Amendment
As soon as Congressman Kreider
discovered this apparent flaw in the
law he prepared and introduced a

widow or not, dependent father,
or both parents shall be entitled
