Washington Once Drafted.

Even Washington himself was once
drafted into the service of his country
1t was In 1898, long after the revolu-
ton, and after Washington had been
president for two terms, and had gone
into well-earned retirement at Mt.
Vernon. France had broken relations
with us, and war impended. Congress
appointed Washington commander of
the army. and the secretary of war,
carrying the commission TO him. found

Industrial Germany at last seems TO
he rising in its strength, demanding
that the war be ended without indem-
mites and anneXationS and that the
condition of the proetNrat be improv-
ed. This is really the big news of the
past week, for if the hundreds Of thou
sands of striking workmcn, backed by
The women of the country, can gain
the support of considerable part of
the German army the autocrats and
milltarsts mas be driven from power
or forced TO recede greatly from their
pan-German program in order to re-
tain their hold on the reins of gov
eminent. In Berlin, Hamburg, Kiel
and the Chemnitz industrial district of
Saxony work has come to a standstill
and all over the empire there are
strikes. According TO the meager dis
patches from Germany the soldiers
and strikers fought In the suburbs of
Berlin and some deaths resulted
though in several instances the sol
diers refused TO fire on the people. The
two socialist factions are conducting
the great demonstration, and many Of
their leaders are said to have been ar
rested. Three important newspapers
of Berlin were suppressed. Minister
Of the Interior Walraff refused to hold
conference with the delegates of the
workmen.
Such was the condition of affairs,
il surface indications meant anything.
But the foreign correspondents in Hol-
land and elsewhere were dubious.
They more than half believed the Inn
perial government had stirred up the
strike movement in the hope that It
would affect the entente countries and
bring about peace, or that il intended
TO use the movement to break off nego-
tiations with the Russian bolsheviki.

Secretary Baker at his own request
appearing second time before the
senate committee on military affairs,
made an address that created so excel
lent an impression that much of the
criticism of him and his management
of the war department was silenccd
He spoke frankly and eloquently, no
longer seeking TO cover mp the faults
OF The bureaus, but asserting that his
critics had made II appear that spe-
itic cases were characteristic of gen
eral conditions. which was not true,
and that every mistake discovered had
been rectited and none of them re-
peated. His explanation and defense
OF most of the criticized acts Of his
department. sounded convincing, ana
he displayed no III temper or anmoS-
ity.
The immediate result was IN AMIGA
bic conference between Secretary
Baker and Senator Chamberlain. The
senator assured the secretary the urg-
ing Of the munitions director and war
cabinet bills was due only To patriotic
desire to help win the war and in
no way was intended to reflect ON the
administration Mr.. Baker finally
agreed to reconsider his objections to
the former measure but asked that the
/ latter be shelved. II was believed that

the place.

cism directed against some features
of the war departments management
are apparent daily, and the improve

offered him 800 for a written confess
sion. but he insisted throughout the
interview which took place in the jail

WOMEN MAY Be URGED
TO PICK PEACH CROP
Georgia Congressman Fail to
Get Burroughs for Negro
LabOrerS
BY THEODORE TILLER

Three members of the Georgia delega-

day to arrange with the war depart
ment for the furloughing of 5000 or
more colored laborers from Georgia
training camps. They were informed
by the war department that furloughs
cannot be arranged by wholesale but
must be handled by the commanding
general at the training camps, and each
furlough must be considered separately.
Before this program could be followed
Georgia's peach croo will have ripened.
subsequently the three Georgia repre-
sentatives saw the employment division
of the department of labor, and there L
was agreed that the matter will be TAX
en- up with Georgia representatives of
the labor department, although nothing
definite could be promised at this end.
The trio of Georgia legislators went
finally to the woman's division of the
Council of National Defense and a plan
is now under way to call for women vol
unteers to pick the peach crop before
it is too late. Working at the matter
from three angles, the Georgia members
hope some way may be found to gather
the full crop, and the Council of Ma
tional Denfense and labor department
promised to take the problem up with
their respective Georgia branches.
