OPPOSITION
To CrOwder's Plan For AppOrtiOn.
ment Of Men For the Ma
tiOnal Army.

Washington, March 14-Vigorous
opposition to Provost Marshall Gen.
Crowder's plan to change the basis Of
apportionment of men for the Nation
al Army to the number registered in
class l instead of population of the
States, was launched in the House to-
day with the filing of minority re-
port from the Military Committee on
the pending resolution for that pur-
pose.
The provost marshal general al
ready has announced that he will not
go ahead with the second draft until
the law is changed.
A favorable report on the resolu-
ton already passed the Senate also
has been made, but will not be
brought up in the House until Sec
retary Baker returns from Europe.
Representative Gordon, Shallenber-
ger, Wise, Nichols, Harrison and Hull
joined in the dissenting report which
declared that the proposal would sub
ject to the arbitrary will and author
ity of those in control of the nations
military power the 100000 men reg
istered except only those uncondition-
ally exempt from the draft, as fully
and completely for all practical pur-
poses as those already inducted into
the military service"
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
who was before the Senate Military
Committee when the House report
was presented, appeared much con-
cerned over Chairman Dents plans to
delay action on the legislation until
Secretary Baker returns. Earlier ac-
ton, he believes, is necessary be-
cause of the approaching new draft.

Urges Election of Edge.

Former Governor Z. G. Stokes is
sued statement on Thursday in which
he discussed the results of Che primary
election and urged Republicans to rally
TO Governor Edge as the party candi
date for United States Senator. Mr.
Stokes's statement follows
Now that the primaries are over the
Republican party is in a position u
present solid and united front in the
November election.
The importance of Republican Con-
gTess is emphasized both by the loyal
support which that party has given TO
vigorous prosecution of the war, and
by the need of its craftsmanship in the
problems of reconstruction after the
war is over.
Governor Edge has been both busi-
ness and war Governor, and undo r
his administration New Jersey has fig
ured most conspicuously in the patriot
ism of it's soldiers, its work and its SUBJ
scriptions to war loans. His record is
a platform in itself and his nomina-
ton evidence of the attitude of our
state. All loyal Republicans will now
rally round him as the standard bearer
and aid in giving him, and his party
nominees on the ticket, sweeping
victory in November.

Increase in Trolley Fares

Seven cent straight fares, instead o
the present five-cent fares, will b,
charged on all lines operated by thu
Public Service Railway Company il
New Jersey from October 18th to Marcel
31st next. After March 3lst six-ceni
fare will be charged. These increases
of one and two cents permitted by the
Public Utility Commission in decis
ion handed down on FIJI lay are in ad
dition to the one cent charge now liz
force for each initial transfc-.
The decision, which affects commun-
tiles in every section OF the star. is de
signed to enable the company IL rails,
the additional revenue required IL N t
the wage increase ordered by the n :
tional War Labor Board on August /.
last. This order was retroactive, l.,
effective date named being June 7th.
The seven-cent fare is designed TO re-
cup The company for the deficienc,
already existing through tie increase,
wage allowance. This, it is estimated.
will have been met by March 3lst,
when the six-cent fare will be sufficient
to offset lhe current increase.
At the hearings on the companv's
petition counsel appeared for the com.
pany and the League OF Municipal
ties, representatives OF large govern
mental, industrial, manufacturing and
financial institutions, urging the ne
cessity of the function by the railwa,
company at its maximum efficianc,
and the allowance of such rate AZ
would provide sufficient funds.
Counsel for numerous municipalities
and some citizens protested against the
allowance of any increase in fare.
After summarizing the findings in
the original rate case in which the
transfer increase was granted and the
decision of the National
War Labor Board, the commission
gave its reasons for considering at this
time only the effect OF the labor boards
decision upon conditions existing up to
that time. All the other questions in
,oIyed. 1t said. had been fully consid l
red and disposed OF in The previou
