DIES WHEN 95 YEARS OLD

NUTLEY, n. J., December 1S.-Mrs.
Euphemia Emma Ells1er. known in
theatrical circles as Eff1e Ellsler. re-
puted to have been the oldest Eng
disappearing actress in the world,

pearance when only nine months old,
Effie Ellsler played in her youth in a

Opera House in Cleveland. Here she
appeared in support of men and wom-
en- who later became stage celebrities.

Of the War Department, said in let
ter asking Congress for q deficiency
appropriation Of 100000 to employ
extra help.
While no specific complaint has
reached Maj. Gen. ireland. surgeon
general Of the Army. that men in
hospitals in this country had not
been paid promptly, Secretary Baker
believes it possible that there are
many Of the wounded and sick SOL
diers brought home from Europe who
probably have not received their pay
for several months.
The Secretary explained that the
old pay system. under which company
commanders made out pay rolls Tor
all the men on their company ros-
ters, had broken down because
wounded and sick men became SO Tar
separated from their commands that
it was impossible for the company
commanders to know what had be-
come Of them
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-12-13

To Offset that. a new system Of in
dividual pay books was inaugurated.
Mr.. Baker said. but because Of the
great size Of the force in France 1t
has not yet been brought into COM
plete operation.
The War Secretary said that on his
return from France recently he is-
sued instructions that no men be
embarked from France except with
complete outfits of clothing and with
enough money to provide them with
funds for Incidental needs on the
journey and for some time at the hos
pitfalls in this country.

BEWARE Of GERMANY.
Mr.. De BILLY ADVISES
Address Of French High Commits
sioner Is Read to Southern
Commercial Congress.

Edouard de Billy, French high COM
missioner in an address prepared by
him and read before the Southern Com
mercial Congress in Baltimore wednes-
day by F. Monod, general secretary of
the French high commission, warned the
American public against rushing to
resume the pursuits of peace before
the end of the war is proclaimed.
The German delegates signed the
armlStlce agreement, which they ire
sarded as another scrap of paper"
and for whose amendment they had
already begun a campaign of prop.
uganda, to save their territory from
invasion, he said. While giving them
a fair chance" he added. the peace
conference must take steps which
would make it impossible for the
Teutons ever again to become a
threat to peace and a menace to lib
eral government.
AS further insurance against Gers
man aggressions the commissioner
urged that the allied peoples devote
their energies to strengthening the
ties of friendship born out of sacri-
flee to common cause. AS steps to-
ward this end he favored Intellectual
intercourse by the exchange of pro-
fessors and students, development or
international trade and financial en-
terprises and the exchange of prefer
cnces in material activities between
the nations thus spiritually united

ALIEN DRAFT WILL

Man Who Claims English
 Citizenship VIII Have 10 Assume Same Rssponsihii- ty His Cousin Does at Home

That the Alien Draft convention
 between Great Britain and the United
 States will intensity rather than re-
 tard British recruiting in this coun-
 try is the opinion of Gen. White. head
 7f the British and Canadian Recruit
 ing Mission in America. The ma
 point" said Gen. White some day
 ago in New York. according to an in
 terview received in Bisbee by Serg-
 5ant Rlinmsn. is that the British or
 Canadian subject in this country can
 not possibly escape liability to serv-
 ice in the war. Instead of being cX-
 empt rom cOnscriptiOn Of any sort.
 he now becomes much morel fable tO
 service than the American. The age
 limit for cOnscription in his case eN-
 tends from 20 10 70. This is a per
 feCtly fair arrangement for it compels
 every man who claims British citi- zenship to place himself on practical
 ly the same footing as his fellow
 couGtrymen at home: and surely citi-
 zcnship skculd carry with il o5liga-
 ions as well as advantages. British
 subjects will of course have the same
 dances cf exemption on application
 to the ambassador as British citizens
 lt home. For the first time British
 citizens are placed Cn a footing Of equality the world over. and the Brit 'sher has ample opportunity ;O serve ;n the forces of his own country for e will have sixty days after congress passes the necessary legislation to en-
 ist in the British or Canadian forces. And he will be doing better work by enlisting at once rather than waiting sixty days. hat we need at present
 man power. If the Britisher en- lists with us he can get quickly to Europe and be made effective much ! sooner than if he waits a few weeks !. longer for the draft. l don't know V hat the actual addition to the Amer {; can draft on account of this conven- ] ion will be. Some reports show that there are 100000 Britishers in Amer | lea of draft age. If twenty-five per
 ent of that number. having failed to | enlist Or get exemption. are taken in I the draft there is an addition of 50.- 1 900 men to the American draft. but no 1 -eal increase of man power. since l these Britishers will simply take the place of an equal number of Ameri- l. cans If on the contrary these men ! enlist in the British and Canadian ar mics that means an immediate and rOsitive increase in man power. There for it is quite clear that the Britisher in this country of military age cannot ] do his full duty by waiting to be drafted. The Convention is very use ful in bringing home to him that if fight he must either enlist or be draft ed. but I consider it important to point out to him that his duty is still to enlist rather than wait for the draft. He can join either the Canadian or British forces by coming up to the nearest office of the British and Can adian Recruiting mission; there is a branch in every big centre in the United States. Every man is needed and is needed now"
