BIG NEW ARMY DRAFT
233,472 SELECTS ORDERED TO
ENTRAIN IN MAY.
Secretary Bakers Estimate of $13, ooo,-
100000 for Fiscal Year Believed
Too Low.

Washington, May 6.-State officials
received calls on Friday for men to fill
the May draft quota. Provost Marshal
Crowder said 233,472 will be indicted
into service during the month.
The men were ordered to entrain for
camp within five days period begin
ming May %. This brings the total
number of men called for the month
of May including special classes, to
approximately 5000.
The vast army expansion program
submitted by the administration for
the fiscal year beginning July L next
will cost the nation close to $4,000
100000, in the opinion of many mem
bers of the house committee on mill
tary affairs.
Secretary of War Baker who was
before the committee again, reiterated
his statement that the program calls
for actual expenditures totaling $751;
000,000,000 for the fiscal year.
The secretary was closely ques-
toned on many of the items, however,
and both Republican and Democratic
members of the committee asserted
afterward that Mr.. Baker has under
estimated the cost of the program.
AS estimated by committee members
the proposals of the administration, as
now shaped, call for appropriations ag-
gregating nearly $16,000,000

Fiscal Year-Appears Before
House Committee.

Washington, May A colossal mill
tary program was submitted on Thurs
day by Secretary of War Baker TO the
house committee on military affairs.
Here are the principal features of the
plan:
l. Expenditures on the army aggre-
eating $13,000,OOO,0OO in the next fiscal
year, more than twice the total of this
years outlay.
2. Manufacture of artillery on stu
pendOus scale, involving the immedi-
ate erection of enormous plants, the
whole outlay representing several bill
lion dollars.
3. Drafting of at least 100000 ad
ditional reglstrants and as many more
as can be equipped and transported to
France, with the prospects favorable
to maintaining an army of 100000
men in the field next year
He told the committee that it would
be ill-advised to restrict the number
of men to be utilized and that the size
of the army should be increased in the
discretion of the government, as trans
portatiOn and equipment facilities
warrant.

PETER eNoME's CLUB.

A great many of the new members
OF Peter Gnome's club, which was cali
ed the EyeryDay-Is-N club, did not
know just how the club had been start
ed in the first place.
They all knew Peter Gnome and Bill
lie Brownie were the very best of
friends, and that as soon as Peter had
started his club, the brownies had been
the first to join.
They knew that Peter Gnome hated
weather grumblers and since belonging
to the club they thought weather grum-
blers We're very foolish. They had
found that there never was a day up
on which one could not enjoy some
thing.
Aud they had discovered how much
happier they always were to like every
day as it came along. Yes, they
thought the club was splendid and
they were happy to belong TO it.
Still they were new members and
they did want to find out how the club
started in the very first place of all.

the King of the Clouds was going to

on which isn't so very heavy, you
know. The water has been known to
go through it.
"'Oh, Cloud King I said, You
mustn't be discouraged And you
mustn't be unhappy. What would the
farmers do without you? Think how
you help the crops. And think too, how
the flowers love you. You make them

woods, the shrubs and the trees-how
hot and dry and thirsty they would be
all summer long if it weren't for you.

mouths would be 50 dry and they
