PROVOST GENERAL CROWD
Err BELIEVES 1T WILL
SUPPLY ENOUGH
Contains Million Able
Bodied Men
If Not Enough Single Men Eligi-
BILE He Wants Law Amended to
Take in Those Reaching Twen-
ty-one Since Last June.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-Class one
under the new classification of young
Americans subject TO the selective
draft will contain close to one mil
lion physically fit men, enough for
any call to service now in prospect.
This was the statement of Provost
Marshal General Crowder in his an
nual report to congress, submitted
this afternoon:
Whether this be justified in prac-
tice or not, it can be announced as
the policy and belief of this office
that in all probability il will be pos
sible to fill our military needs with
out ever invading any class more de-
ferred than this class and it is the
promise, the standard and the goal
here for the first time announced to-
ward which every administrative eff
fort of this office shall be directed"
If more men are required in class 1,
General Crowder favored an amend
ment to the law including within the
draft men who have attained the age
OF II since June 5, 1917. He also
recommends that the law be amended
In such was as to require the distrib-
ution of quotas, not according to popu-
lation, but according to the number
of men against any class from which
the quota is called. In other words.
until division A is exhausted, he would
not call any of the men of division B.

WHOLE WESTERN FRONT
SUBJECTED TO SERIES OF
RAIDS
Looking for Weak Spot
in Defense
Further Desire to Confuse Allied
Armies-Heavy Artillery Firing
Along the Western Front-Huns
Move Toward the Piave.

LONDON, Jan. Germany is still
feeling out" the whole western front
with strong raids which are taking
place daily All the way from the
North sea to the Swiss Alps raiding
detachments are thrusting against the
allied line, testing its strength and
taking prisoners for the purpose of
securing information as to the num-
ber of reserve troops and the supply
of artillery munitions on hand
Military men expressed the opinion
today that the increase raiding activi-
ties is a preliminary to an offensive,
and that the Germans have two OBJ
jects in view:
First, to confuse the allies as to the
exact point of attack; second, to find
the weakest point on the allied battle
line.
Heavy artillery duelling continues
especially in West Flanders, on the
Arras front and in Champagne.
With their operations held up by
cold weather and snow in the Vene-
tian Alps, the Austro-German invad-
ers in Italy have renewed their efforts
to cross the Piave river on the Vene-
tian plain. The Austro-Germans tried
to effect a lodgment on the western
bank of the river at Intessadura but
were driven back by the Italians ar
tillery fire.
Elsewhere on the Italian front the
usual cannon fire is in progress.

The above resolution, of Highland
View citizens, verified by their fore
man of construction, j. w. Hays, ex-
presses the sentiments of the people
along the mile of road leading from
the city toward the Amalgamated
Sugar company factory. The COM
missioners gave $1,000 toward the
mile of road and express willingness
to further cooperate with citizens be-
yond this stretch of thoroughfare. The
grading has already been finished and
the work of putting on gravel will be-
gin Monday. A meeting of the cit
izens of Highland View was held last
evening at which showed a practical
interest in the work.

road building to the extent of our
ability" said Chairman o. e. Carlson,
of the board this morning, but, as
you know, the amount of funds avail
able according to law is small. We
are glad to help every feasible plan
along this line where we have the
money"

Anti Trust Cases
Postponed in Court
Steps for Dissolution of MonOpolies
Deferred Where 1t Would Disturb
Business.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-Attorney
General Gregory today moved in the
supreme court for the postponement
of the consideration by the court at
its present terms of seven antitrust
cases now On its calendar. This mo-
tion will be renewed from time to
time, it is expected, for the period
of the war. 1t is now the intention
of the administration to take no steps
for the dissolution of alleged monop-
olies for the period of the war because
to press such cases would disarrange
business generally and cause big fl
nancial losses.
The cases pending before the court
are against the International Harves-
ter company, the United Shoe Machine
company, the Quaker Oats company
the United States Steel corporation,
the Eastman Kodak company, the
American Can company and the Corn
Products Refining company.
This action by the department OF
justice has been anticipated since the
government decided to back the bill
introduced at its request in congress
which legalized overseas pooling OF
selling agents and trust plans in gen.
eral.

be formally recognized by the entente
powers, it was reported in diplomatic
circles here today.
LONDON, Jan. 3-Whether or not
negotiations will be reopened between
the Bolsheviki government of Russia
and the central powers was the chief
question in the peace situation today
1t was reported from Amsterdam
that DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann, the
German foreign minister, is returning
to Brest Litovsk from Berlin, which
indicated that the Teutonic ENJOYS
may have fresh proposals to make to
the Russian delegates.
The action of Germany in refusing
to withdraw troops from Russian ter
ritory strengthens a belief which has
been gaining ground for some time
that it is the kaiser's wish to make a
'protectorate" of Poland, Courland
and Livonia. This would be almost
equivalent to annexation.
The break in the Russo-German ne
gotiations has created the utmost sat
isfaction in London.
All of the details have not yet been
received nor has any official infor-
nation bearing on the subject come
from the Russian or Teutonic govern
ments.
According to Arthur Ransome, the
Petrograd correspondent of the Daily
News, the Bolsheviki easily recogniz-
ed the trickery of the German terms
which were read at Brest Litovsk by
Count Czernin, the Austrian foreign
minister.
Germany's promise to negotiate a
general peace on the basis of no an
nexations nor indemnities was sup
ported by cunningly devised compost
ton which showed that the real object
of the Austro-German governments
was just the opposite.
While Petrograd reports that the
Russian army is being strengthened
on the battle front the opinion was
expressed here that there is little like
lihood of a resumption of fighting,
even if it is true that the peace ne
gotiations have been abandoned en-
tirely.
The armistice is still in effect on
The eastern front, and, according to
its terms, either side must give sew
en- days notice before reopening hos
tilities.
Ensign Krylenko, the BolshevilKi
commander in chief, reports that Ger
many has violated the terms of the
armistice, not only by removing GER
tain troops from the Russian to the
western front, but also by reinforcing
