Furloughs will not be granted TO
the extent OF interfering with the

vesting time.
Farm furloughs will not be granted

Furloughs will be without pay or
except that sufficient pay
will be retained TO meet war risk in

SECOND DRAFT
LEGISLATION
TO BE RUSHED
House Rules Committee Puts
Partial Gag on Debate as
to Basis Of Quotas.

Spurred into activity by demands
for a greatly increased draft army,
the Houses speed-up organization
took action to. hurry along legisla-
tion necessary for the second draft.
An extraordinary severe gag
rule was reported from the rules
committee to bring immediate ac-
tion on the bill fixing the basis of
quotas for the next draft. Only
three hours debate is allowed. De-
spite known opposition of consider
able size the administration lead
ers are confident of jamming the
meas sure through.
Test Early Next Week.
The first test of administration
strength under the new rules will
come early next week with an at
tempt by a group OF insurgents to
Overturn the War Departments
plan. These want the second draft
call based on the total number of
registrants of ell classes in each
district, while the War Depart
ment insists that the total number
in Glass l be the basis. A close
fight seems certain.
In addition to their present
strength. the insurgent group be-
lieves that criticisms it will make
against "slicker" officers will help
down the War Department. which it
accuses of Overriding its powers.

MEN OVERSEAS
War Department Speeding
Up Preparations for Move
ment Of Trained Troops.
INCREASE NEW DRAFT
Indications Men Will Be
Rushed Into Camps for
Summer.

Indications that the Presidents
plans for speeding UP the movement
OF troops overseas were rapidly being
put into effect were plainly evident
about the War Department and the
provost marshal generals office yes
terday.
Admit New Plans.
While no official confirmation of
the report that 100, 900 men were to
be called under the second draft, in
stead Of 10000 as originally an
nounced, was obtainable, It was ad-
mitted that some plan OF largely in
creasing the second draft quota in all
probability would be decided upon fol-
lowing the return Of Secretary Baker.
One member Of the general staff
stated that 10000 or more men could
be raised with ease. II the department
should decide upon this course.
Officials Of the quartermaster gen.
erals division are optimistic as to
their ability to assemble supplies with
much greater facility than during the
first draft Under the system per-
fected by Major General George w.
Goethals. acting quartemaster gen.
eral. II is believed the supply depart
ment can meet any reasonable de-
mands made upon 1t.
In view of the fact that there will
be no more cold weather for the next
seven months, 1t was unofficially
pointed out that, IL the emergency
warranted. troops could be sent to
training camps in advance of uni
forms and military equipment, with
out running the risks of illness en-
countered during winter training. Mil
itary equipment could be assembled
while the men were in training.
X Large Groups.
One Indication of the accelerated
movement OF troops to ports of en-
barkation was seen in the fact that
the War Department has worked out
plans for calling out drafted men m
much larger numbers than was con-
tempIated when 10000 men was an
nounced as the basis OF computation
for the second draft. The War De-
partment's original plan for the sec
ond draft was to induct registrants
into military service in very small
5IOupS dIIIOuB lne va
rious States from week to week, or
from month to month, as they were
needed.
The most scientific manner Of re-
cruiting the forces. it was said when
the second draft announcement was
made. will be to withdraw them from
civil life as fast as they can be as
simulated by the army and no faster.
The provost marshal general at hat
time. however. intimated that a more
rapid induction was probable. He
said: ''As a matter of fact. the state
of preparedness of the army to as
simulate recruits varies, from day to
day and from week to week. The con-
stantly changing situation causes
changes in the number OF men who
are to be called to colors"
The present plan. consequent to the
wholesale withdrawal of the men now
at training camps, is to call out draft
ed men in groups Of 10000 or. more.
Camps and cantonments will not be
allowed to stand idle. II the 800 600
troops now in this country are sent
abroad this year, as has been official

Bulgarian Aims.
Mr.. Panaretofr has consistently in
sisted here that Bulgaria Is fighting
purely for Bulgarian aims-the con-

the Balkans. His vigorous representa-
tons on this point have done much to

Though without means of communi-
cation with his own government he

GERMAN PRESS
IS DECLARED
GRAVE MENACE
Americanization Nee ting
Speakers Denounce For
eign Language Papers.

Recommendation that Congress
enact law requiring that all ele-
mentary subjects be taught in Eng
Iish in all the schools of the United
States was made yesterday at the
Americanization meeting called by
Secretary OF the Interior Lane. This
recommendation was put in the
form of a resolution and was re-
ported by a committee of which
Gov. Samuel " Stewart, OF Mon
tana. was chairman.
Resolutions Adopted.
Other resolutions adopted call
for:
government that it cooperate with
States and cities in the education of
non-English speaking people In this
country,
2. ReqHests to big Industrial en-
ployers OF non-English speaking Ia
bor that they cooperate with the
city. State and Federal government In
promoting good citizenship among
their employees.
.. Petitions to Congress that 1t pass
all laws deemed necessary to further
this campaign OF education.
Some 200 mfn were present, the
list including several governors,
representatives OF commercial and
industrial organizations and chair
men OF State councils of defense.
1t authorized Secretary Lane to put
Gov. Stewart's committee to work
pushing the legislation recon-
mended, but turned down other pro-
posals. such as a resolution requir-
ing all foreigners of military age to
take out naturalization papers be-
fore July 1.
This suggestion caused bitter dis
cussion. to which Secretary Lane
put an end with a stirring appeal
for true American spirit He said:
You can not make good Ameri-
can citizens by compulsion. II I
can not show the Pole, the Italian
or any otherr immigrant that he has
better opportunity here in this
country for himself and his boy
than in some other country, then I
don't want to force this man to be-
come a citizen of this country.
Let us not proceed with red light
in our eyes. or with the fear of de-
feat in our hearts. This country is
not to be overthrown."
Some of the speakers demanded
that Congress take action at once
to suppress German-language news
papers.

REP. GORDON
GIVES VIEWS
ON ''SLICKERS''
Answers Letter of Promi-
nent Manufacturer of
Cleveland, Ohio.

Adjt. Gen. Mccain has admitted
that serious abuses exist through the
granting of swivel chair commits
sions to men of no military value.
The generals statement was made in
the course of a conference with Rep
resentative Gordon, of Ohio.
Congress without Authority.
The only remedy that Congress can
exert against the unjustified granting
of commissions. according to Repre-
sentative Gordon, is the withholding
of appropriations for the pay of on
GERS, which action Is impractical in
time of war.
These statements are embodied in a
letter which Representative Gordon
has written to Il. C. Blackwell. secre-
tary OF the Cleveland Twist Drill
Company. who had written a. protest
against the draftable fighters Of the
War Department. to Mr.. Gordon, af-
ter lengthy visit in Washington. In
a forceful letter Mr.. Buckner en-
bodies the public sentiment which is
constantly growing against the en-
trenchment OF certain draft age men
in desk jobs while others face the
grim realities of the battle front.

ply telling of Gen. McCain's admission

out and yet he had to stand an en-

months course in the officers train
