Senate, Senator New Of Indiana, In
Producing a resolution requesting the
department to inform the Senate why
the order had been issued, if sdcil

paraphrase of the cablegram received
from General Pershing recommend
ing the change.
General Pershing said the French
Government and calleda ttsntion to
the unquestloned valuable informa-
tion which the Germans could obtain
from statements giving the exact
number 70 casualties resulting after
a raid from official statistics In the
form of casualty lists which gave the

recommended that the system be
changed so as to omit everything

Paris, March 1.-THE American
Secretary of War, Newton d. Baker
has arrived at French port.
Secretary Baker plans to spend
brief time in France, inspecting IN
person the concrete results already
achieved in the efforts of his depart
ment in place in the field this year
an army that will be at actor in the
campaign. On the eve of his depart
ure, Mr.. Baker told members OF the
press who have been in the habit OF
seeing him every day that he did not

Bile length of time.
The Secretary and his party lef.
Washington without any other at
tempt at concealment Of their move
,nents than q request that the press
refrain from reporting his departure
The newspapers again worked in
heaty cooperation to make the jour
ney as safe as possiblef rom German
submarincsf or the party. No hint
Of the trip has been printed.
For several months the War Secre'
tary has been eager to see tor HIM
self conditions at thief ront and to
talk over with Gen. Pershingth man
upon whom the entire American war
program in the full burden Of espon-
sibilityf or France has been placed
the many problems that have arisen
to impede the carrying ou- OF the de-
us "tments plans. 1t was impossible
70. zen. Pershing to come home lot
such a conference. Mr.. Baker, there
fore determined after much confer
ences with President Wilson TO go
himself on an inspection tour which
will he believes, better fit him for
his great responsibility in meeting
Gen. Pershing's requirements in fight
iag men and materials and keeping
in operation a supply line more than
5000 miles long.
1t is regarded as probable, too tha.
the Secretary will take the oprortu-
atty to inform the American conf
nander in the field very fully as to
all the hopes and aims of the gov
erumentw hich are at stake in the
war.
Mr.. Baker is. the first member OF
President Wilson's cabinett to go to
the battle zone. Out Of his confer
ences, not only with General Perish
ing. butw ith thel eaders OF the
French and British government a.
well willie ONE direct information tor

ing in the Aulied countries to aid him
DIN shaping his future course.
The War Secretary is In Europe as
,ho pros;dont's official representative
aud the fact that it is his War Sec
retary and not diplomatic represent
tative is regarded as evidence Of the
determination of the President to
press thew ar aggressively to victory.

Washington. Nov. ll.--All the first action Of the war department today after announcement of the signing of the armistice with Germany, was the cancellation of all army draft calls under which more than 30o, ,o0O men had been ordered to entrain for camps before November 10th.
 Urgent telegrams prepared three days ago, at the direction of Provost Marshal General Crowder wore sent to all draft boards directing that the movement of 252,000 men under or ders to entrain before noon today" and Friday be stopped immediately The telegrams reached most of the boards in time, but a few men are known to have started for camps. Secretary Baker said, however that wherever possible their immediate re- turn to civil life would be arranged.
 q have suspended further calls under the draft and inductions," MT. Baker said There will he for the present no additional men brought in under the draft and to the extent tha . We can we will turn back those men who have been entlained and have not yet reached training camps"
 All men assembled for entraining are to be considered as honora bly, dis charged from the army and paid &C., cordingly. Until further notice, no inductions or calls except for the navy and marine corps will be per mitted.
 Since August 1917. when the first calls were issued under the army draft law. 2.700,000 men have been inducted into the army Practically all physically qualified men between the ages of 21 and 31 who were plac- ed in clas 1. are now in the service.
 General CroWaer announced that regiStrants whose induction orders are cancelled or who are discharged after their entrainment for camps. will revert to the status existing at the time the original induction order was isued, this to include resumption of their order and serial number.
 It also was specifically announced that nothing in the cancellation of the calls shall operate to relieve from the consequences Of his acts, any registrant who has heretofore become delinquent or deserter

JEFFERSON CITY. MISSOURI.

Fire broke out in the tower of the
main building of Lincoln Institute
about 8:15 Monday morning. Teach
ers and students were making ready
to assemble in the class rooms when
the alarm was given. All joined
hands, and under the heroic leader
ship of Prof. ]. E. Rose, assisted by
Prof. J. E. Daniel, took out the prop
erty that was in the various class
rooms, SC that the damage to the
equipment of the school was very
small. There was no damage done
save to the tower. The building was
not insured. To replace the tower
will cost probably $~20,000.0O. 1t is
believed hat the fire was caused by
the crossing of wires, as the wiring
of Lincoln Institute is very imperfect.
Both boys and girls worked enthusi
~astically to conquer the fire and to
save the equipment of the school.
