Mr.. Baker stated that newly classi'

ESQ, 900 month.
The secretary expressed surprise a

these men will hardly have been COM
pleted by that date.
Mr.. Baker added, however, that just
as soon as the men between 81 and IS
inclusive have been classified they will
be called for service. together with
those between 10 and 30 who have not
been called. He said the only reason
for making distinction between ~
and SO and 81 and 45 was to give the
provost marshal general new reser-
voir of man power on which to draw.
To have attempted the classification OF
all the men between Is and As. he
stated. would have required a much
longer time and the men in Class 4
had been about exhausted when the
now law became effective.
No denial was made Of the state
mcnt, credited to DR.. Mott. that the
United States is making its plans on
the basis of two years more of war.
This is true of all Allied governments.

When asked about the fate OF the
German colonies, he said: IL no boy

Speaking OF President Wilson. he
said: He is something! Just think OF

Not only have the medical author
tiles Of Camp Dix refused to pre-
scribe whisky for influenza and pneu-

strongly against this practice. Col

physician has found dozen more

GOT THEIR PAPERS "SMOKED'
Readers Were Amply Protected
Against Infection in the Early
Days of the Republic.

In the early days of the United
States, at times when epidemics were
appearing in the larger cities, the pub
fishers of newspapers disinfected their
sheets before delivering them to news
boys and post riders. Frequently, in
order that the sheets might not be car
rlers of disease, they were put into
stoves and thoroughly smoked before
being wrapped for delivery. In the
South. where yellow fever often spread
very rapidly, special stoves, built of
sheet iron, were designed for this pur-
pose and used tobacco as fuel, but the
process was slow, as only one sheet
smoked at time. The plan of
smoking by wholesale from resinous
wood was probably more commonly
employed in the North than in other
sections of the country because of the
great infection feared from smallpox
The academic and pedantic newspaper
critics. who, like the poor, have been
ever present, used to assert at such
times that publisher would perform
q much more useful service for the
public If he would pay more attention
to disinfecting the contents of his pa
pers and less to disinfecting the sheets
themselves. The latter, critics assert
ed, could be done when necessary by
the reader in his own home.
