NEW ARMY PLAN TO
END WAR IN 1878
GENERAL MARCH EXPRESSES
CONFIDENCE IN VICTORY
NEXT YEAR.

The governments new man~power
program, embodied in the 1916 draft
age bill pending in congress should
win the war in 1919, General March,
chief of staff of the United States
army, said in hearing before the
house military committee this week.
Predicting that the war will be
won or lost on the western front, re-
gardless of what happens elsewhere,
General March told the committee
that with 80 trained American divi-
sions of about $4,000 men each, in
France, under an American COM
mander, victory ought to rest on
American arms next year,
Reiterating his belief that such a
force could go through the German
lines at will, General March went
further and electrified the committee
by declaring such a force SHOULD
sion in 1919"
To exert this American man power
in securing victory, General March
said, Every single man between Is
and As years in class l would be
needed by next spring" Shipping
facilities are assured and mainte-
nance problems have been consid-
cred in the program.
Suggestions that the 100000
army program would exhaust Amer
ica's man power were laughingly de-
MED by General March but he joined
Secretary Baker in explaining that It
represents Americas maximum effort
for the present.
Plans for calling new registrants
under the proposal. explained by Sec
retary Baker, provide for three class
es-probably to be called in order
those between 10 and 81 years OF
age, those between 81 and As, and
those between 1S and 10.
Mr.. Baker did not object to sepa-
rate classification of 18-year-old
youths, but he and General March
said all eligibles probably would be
called out not later than next spring.
The secretary told the committee
that his previous statement of the
departments intention to liberalize
the draft regulations in dealing with
the older men to be made subject to
call had been misconstrued. He said
there was no intention to exempt
married men as a class and that mar
ried men who do not support their
wives or are not engaged in useful
occupations will be called as they
now are.
Discussing the work or fight"
amendment OF Senator Thomas of
Colorado. to the senate bill, Secre-
tary Baker said sit seems entirely
consistent with the present regula-
tions and is unobjectionable.
He said it does not provide for con-
scription of labor, as contended by
representative of organized labor.
but merely would be a declaration by
congress of the work or fight" prin-
ciple already put into effect by the
draft regulations.

ment returned against him by the

Grange, said he knew nothing further
regarding it than appears in the
newspaper reports. having received

HARDY TO PAY FOR
ROLLERS WILD RIDE
CONTRACTOR RELIEVES COUNTY
or LIABILITY FOR MAIN
STREET SMASH-UP.

G.. NJ. Hardy, contractor on the new
having on the Pacific highway east Of
OLYMPIA. assumes all responsibility
for the damage caused "Wednesday
evening when the county's big lotion
road roller ran wild on Main street.
crashed through three telephone poles
near Sixth. smashed the City Dye
Works delivery car, and finally piled
M on the sidewalk and street near
the Harris store.
This statement was made by Coun-
ty Commissioner J. c. Sans Fiday,
following conference Prosecuting
Attorney OLeary and Commissioner
Dodge had with Hardy Thursday. The
contractor had arranged to rent the
roller from the county and 1t was one
of his employees. Pete Thomas, who
drove it during the wild ride. Hardy's
assumption of responsibility relieves
the county of any liability Tor dam
ages.
The runaway is the second in which
this machine has figured in less than
a year, James Van Eaton having pilot
ed it down Main street at breakneck
speed one evening last fall, He man
aged to hold the middle of the road
and persuade everybody to stay out OF
his way, and brought the machine to
a stop near the end of the paving on
North Main street.
According to Commissioner Sans,
the county had arranged to rent the
roller to Contractor Hardy. and Com
missioner Dodge had called George
Cordell of Rochester, who generally
operated 1t for the county. 20 inspect
1t and deliver it to Hardy. Before
this arrangement was carried out.
however, Hardy sent Thomas after
the machine, which was at Tumwater.
Instead Of driving it around via the
Log Cabin road and the Boulevard to
the Pacific highway east Of town, thus
avoiding the South Main street and
East Fourth street hills. as the coun-
ty intended to do, Thomas started
through town with it.
The pavement. however. was wet
and slippery and something went
wrong with the machine so that 1t
went out of gear. and Thomas lost
control of it at about Eleventh street.
He stayed right with it, however
working hard to regain control. until,
seeking to avoid street car near
Sixth, the machine swerved too far to
the east side of the street and
smashed things up generally, He
hoped off unhurt when it piled up in
the alley, the frame broken and top
smashed.
No one was hurt, luckily but tele-
phone. electric light and power wires
were strewn all around and damage
amounting to several thousand dol
lars caused. The roller was removed
to local machine shop Thursday for
repairs at Hardys expense

READY TO GO, MARCH
SAYS.

by September l.
He also told the senators that some
are making the trip 10
Europe and back in 19 days, and that
the average has been reduced to 2S
DAYS. with which additional shipping
becoming available makes the great
job of getting 80 divisions OF Amer
lean troops to France by June 30
1919. certain of success.
General March gave the committee
very encouraging reports on the I'M
provement of the health of the army.
The present average yearly death rate
is but per cent. Constant improve
ment is being noted both in camps

people have nothing to fear on the
csore of the health conditions OF their
soldiers.
Commenting on cabled press re-
ports about inhuman treatment OF
American prisoners by the Germans
General March said that no testi-
mony has been received by us that
American prisoners of war have been
singled out for any treatment dlfer-
ent from that which all the rest get.
Spanish authorities. acting 1or the
United States, go to the prison camps
unannounced and make faithful re-
ports of their observations, he said.
