Dear Sir:
There is a vast amount of confusion
in regard to the Students Army Training
corps. and we have wired the provost
marshal general requesting him to ad-
wise us as to the proper procedure in
this matter. However, l have no hest
fancy in holding that local boards can
not transfer men prior to the filing of
their questionaires.
In my judgment it is not contemplated
that they should be transferred. but that
upon the receipt by local board of
transfer of the competent order from the
provost marshal general such local board
OF transfer will Immediately request the
local board of origin to forward the nee
essary induction papers. I do not be-
lieve that registrants desiring to enter
this branch of the service should attempt
to secure a transfer but should enroll
at some accredited school and secure
their competent order from the provost
marshal general and the transfer viii
then take care of itself.
I do not think that an Idaho regis
trant is compelled to attend the Idaho
in order to take advantage of
the governments offer as he is supposed
to be in school at the time OF his in
duction and to be inducted by the loacl
board having jurisdiction of the area in
which the school is located. As soon as
the competent orders are received by such
local board of origin to furnish the nee
essary induction. papers and it will not
make any difference under such circum-
stances whether the local board of origin
is in the same state or not.
Just as soon as we receive any definite
it viii be promptly trans
nitted to all of the local boards.
Very truly yours.

MUST HAVE CREDENTIALS

Gov. Alexander has issued procia-
matio forbidding the collection OF war
funds except by persons especially
authorized by the State Council Of De-
tense to do so. It is a wise precau-
tion against frauds working under the
ma gic spell of aid for a soldier. The
American soldier is mighty close to tho
heart and pocketbook of the American
public and fakirs and crooks are al
ways quick to take advantage of such
conditions.

GERMAN TRADE UNIONS
CONTINUE PRESSURE ON
MONARCHY FOR REFORMS
AGITATION BY STRIKES PLAN OF WORKERS,
INTENSITY Of WHICH IS NOT KNOWN AS
BERLIN REPORTS CENSORED AND VARY

LONDON, Jan 3O.-Whie some London morning news
papers print with most prominence dispatches from Holland
and Switzerland representing the strikes Germany being
great scale and very serious the Rotterdam correspondent
of The Daily News against exaggerated idea Of the
size and Importance of the industrial upheaval
Other newspapers report that workmen in forty
eral factories in Berlin alone have struck and that
strikes elsewhere have been accompanied by grave disturb
anCes.
The Daily News correspondent says that the cessation of
work in Berlin apparently not general character The
central committee of the trade unions intended general
strike but according to the latest information reaching the
correspondent Rotterdam this revoked after the speech
made by Dr. Won Kuehlmam the foreign secretary, with
which the labor leaders professed to be satisfied temporarily
The strikes which occurred subsequently were sporadic the
correspondent says
In any he adds the trades unions committees made
demands very mild in character. The demands were:
First answerby the German government to the speech
made by Premier Lloyd George to British trades unions
Second, a statement German aims in the West.
"Thrd direct representation of the working class inter-
e the peace negotiations in proportion to the representa-
ton of capitaistic interests.
Fourth, further postponement of Prussian franchise

COUNT CZERNTN DIDN'T SEND
HIS SPEECH TO WILSON
Austrian Premier Said President Would
Get IL ANYWAY.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-The story that
Count C2ernin told Austrian delegates
he had sent copy Of his war aims
speech to President Wilson in advance
Of delivery was exploded today by Il
cable received at the state department
quoting an extract from the Berliner
Tagebatt Of Monday explaining that,
refusing to transmit his address direct
y to the president, Czernin said he
would get it Immediately by telegraph"
The Berliner Tageblatt said;
at would be wrong to take Czernin's
statement too literally and to believe
that the American president received
iirectly or indirectly from Austria a
special report on the speech. The facts
are as follows;
"a socialist delegate requested Czernin
to transmit his reply to Wilson through
the intermediary Of n neutral country.
Czernin refused, saying Wilson would
get It, the speech, Immediately by tele.
yraph. Thus the expression at the
same hour is not to be taken literally
With the exception Of Czechs and the
socialists, who preferred direct commu
nication with Wilson, all others were
satisfied with C2ernin's reply"

Murray Shows Up the
Utter FcHacy Of the
Proposed War Cabinet

Tishomingo, Okla, Jan. S0.-tSpeciaD.
-EX. Congressman VIM. IL. Murray gave
cut a statement today touching th'
controversy in congress and the pro-
posed creation Of war cabinet. Mr..
Murray said:
"To the man schooled in the move
ments Of public men and politicians,
this controversy is as clear as mud
Senator Stone had no occasion to de-
fend the administration in the way he
did except to escape the criticism of
ais own attack on the administration,
knowing that prominent Republicans
would be expected to reply in kind. The
controversy is simply one partaking OF
u mixed nature Of factional and parti
san politics together with a demagogiC
movement, whereas there is no room
at this time for either demagogic or
partisan or personal self-aggrandiZement
and this emphasizes the importance OF
electing men to public office and re
sponsible positions who are candid with
the public in their canvass. The Amer
lcan people must quit electing men who
suck eggs but hide the shells.

Should congress create such a board

il is a wise one, for in the business OF

True enough, the armament may be

be eXtravagant. but this will always
occur with a nations neglecting in time
