they have given good account Of

they are rapidly being disciplined

Then there are hundreds of others
in every branch of the government

thirty thousand in all classes who
have offered their lives as bar

The fact that conditions despite
the war have made everybody more
prosperous, money more plentiful,
work ample for all and wages higher
than ever before, helps very material

the prices of all the necessities have
advanced to a point where they COM

Millions are being spent in the
state by the government in the prep

is proposed to hurl against the Huns,
and other millions must be spent.
The conservation and the increased
production of food and fuel are being
taught the people and they are earn
est pupils of the new order OF things
These are lessons that will not
pass with the war for there is an
abiding value in them which will
become appartnt, and will forever
overcome the extravagances and
wastefulness of the antebellum per-

There is no danger OF the people

Charge Made That Socialists

Chicago, May T.-Afembers of the
I. w. w. on trial here charged with
sedition were informed today that the
organization would be held liable for
specific acts of its members. Federal
Judge Landis made. that ruling in ad-
mitting as government evidence a
book on sabotage, ordered printed by
an I. w. w.
The prosecution also succeeded in
introducing the deadly parallel" a
document prepared by I. w. WIS and
setting forth the difference between
American Federation of Labor and
the I. w. w. In this parallel the labor
organization was ridiculed for sup
porting war preparations

similar action against some of the

organizations have offered to extend
aid. A minority in the big labor

The announcement Of amalgama-

speculation by government counsel

fense fund. which is said to have
reached a substantial figure.
Although no figures as to the cost
of the trial to the organization would
be given out, Haywood said that the
expense would be enormous.
1t is estimated that the cost to the
government will reach one million
dollars.

sons great army expansion plan is
backed up by a reservoir of approxi-

class 1, officials of the Provost Mar
shall General Crowder's Office declared
today.
This represents the actual fighting
strength of the class, with a deduction
of the call of Saturday for 233, 900 men
included. To this will be added about
100000 additional fit fighters by the
registration of the 21-year-olds next
month. increasing the reserves to
nearly 100000 men. This figure as
sures that the deferred classes need
not be invaded to supply all the in

pansion program, officials said.

Exact figures on the number of
men in the various draft classes are
still incomplete, but the number the
questionnaire system put in class l

Physical disqualifications which were
less under the second draft, brought
down the number of available fight
ing men to 100000.

Mobilization orders between March
25 and June 1 will total about SIS, 900

Agriculture Not to Suffer.
The needs of agriculture will not
cut down class 1 now, officials point
out, and essential farmers were given
deferred classification. Farm laborers
of class / will not be taken until after
harvest, but they are still in class 1
and will be subject to call then.
Unless final congressional approval
of the draft 'amendm ent, authorizing
registration of the 21-year-o1d men, is
delayed, these men will be listed on

this week.
