GENERAL PERSHING WILL
COMMAND MIXED SOLDIERS
Where American Troops Predominate
in Brigaded Divisions, Stars and
Stripes Will Rule.

Washington, May 16.-General Per
shing probably will soon be command
ing French and British troops as the
process of brigading American units
with their allies on the western front
goes forward.
1t has become known here that
whenever American troops predomin-
ate in the brigaded divisions as the
process goes on, these divisions, under
present plans, will be turned over to
General Pershing's command.
This plan would accomplish. several
things the military authorities consult
ing upon it regard as very desirable.
1t would rapidly increase the size of
the American fighting command on
the battle line; 1T would contribute ire
mendously to the spirit of unity and
concerted effort, and at the same time,
instead of holding large numbers of
American troops behind the lines while
training, would surround them with
seasoned veterans and under actual
battle conditions school them to be re-
brigaded later with fresh American
troops coming to France.

COMPEL GERMANS TO WE'D,
PUNISH CHILDLESS ONES

London, May 18.-The German com.
mission appointed to examine the de-
cline In the birth rate in Germany has
reached a recommendation for the
compulsory marriage of Germans be-
fore their twentieth year is passed,
according to dispatch to the Daily
Express, from Amsterdam.
Final assistance would be granted
by the state, according to this plan,
which provides penalties for those
failing to comply. Provision also is
made for the punishment of married
couples who remain childless.
A report from German sources shows
fall in the birth rate in Germany dur
ing 19l5-l1 equivalent to the loss of
100000 infants. Forty per cent fewer
births occurred in 1916 than in 1913.
These figures are compared with de-
crease of 10 per cent in the birth rate
In England and Wales.
The infantile death rate In Germany
has been kept well down. but reports
show it is so per cent higher than in
England and Wales.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
OVER FOUR MILLIONS
Most Successful Loan United States
Has Ever Offered Declares
Secretary McAdoo.

Washington, May 1S.-The total OF
the third Liberty loan. is S4,17O,ol9,-
$50. an oversubscription of 80 per cent
above the three billion dollar minimum
sought.
The number of subscribers was about
100000 Every federal reserve dis
trict oversubscribed, the Minneapolis
district going to 172 per cent, the high
est. and the New York district to 124
per cent, the lowest.
The treasury explained the total may
be changed slightly by later reports
from federal reserve banks.
"This is the most successful loan the
United States has offered, both in, num-
Der of subscribers and in the amount
realized said Secretary McAdoo in a
statement. Every subscription was
made with the full knowledge that al
lotment in full was to be expected, I'M
like the first loan, when allotments
were limited to 81, 900. 900, 900 and the
second loan, when allotments were lin
tied to one-half the oversubscription.
"This great result was achieved not
withstanding the fact that the country
has been called upon to pay since the
second Liberty loan and to and includ-
ing the month OF June, income and ex-
cess profits taxes to the amount of APP
proximately three billion, which will
make total amount turned into the
treasury of the United States from
such taxes and the third Liberty loan
of about $1,000, 100000"

BOTH HOUSES PASS BILL
TO REGISTER YOUNG MEN
AS Finally Agreed Upon, Measure
Would Place Men Reaching Fl
Years at Bottom of Glasses.

Washington, May 1S.-The house
has passed without a record vote the
conference report on the bill requiring
registration in the draft of youths who
have become p years old since June 5,
last.
The senate previously had agreed
to the report and after its passage by
the house it was sent to the president.
As finally agreed to, the bill provides
youths registered under it shall be
placed at the bottom of the lists of
those classes to which they will he
assigned, and that students now in
medical and theological schools shall
be exempt from the draft.
The only opposition to the bill in
the house was on the student exemp-
ton feature. Representative McKen-
zie of Illinois, Republican. denounced
the provision as "class legislation, I'M
American and violative of the principle
that all Americans are equal
Representative Kahn of California,
Republican, in reply, said it was nee
essary to exempt medical students in
order that the doctors who lose their
lives in the war may be replaced and
the country saved from recurrency
of the prevalence of ''quacks," from
which it suffered some % years ago.

HUGHES TO HELP
PROBE AIR BOARD
PRESIDENT WILSON SUMMONS
FORMER CHIEF JUSTICE, WHO
ACCEPTS JOB.
START INVESTIGATION SOON
Letter From President Puts Rollers
Under Another Proposed War IN
vestigaton and it Probably
Will Be Dropped.

Washington, May 16-President VIII
son has summoned Charles b. Hughes
to act with Attorney General Gregory
in the investigation of criminal charges
made in connection with aircraft pro-
duction. Mr.. Hughes acceptance OF
the task has been announced al the
White house and he will come TO
Washington in few days TO go over
the plans with the attorney general.
In a letter to Senator Martin, the
Democratic leader, the president pre-
viously had emphatically reiterated his
opposition to the phrasing of pend
ing resolution authorizing further in
ouiry by the senate military commit
fee into aviation and other phases of
war preparations. He declared he
would regard the passage of such a
resolution as vote of want of confl-
dence in the administration and VIZ
tually as an attempt to take over the
conduct of the war.
In designating former Justice
Hughes, whose record in the New
York insurance investigation is we'll
remembered, the president SAID ne
felt the department of Justices invest
igation was of the very greatest inn
portance and that if any persons were
found to be guilty they might be pros
ecuted vigorously and promptly and
that the regulations of those attacked
might be protected if the charges were
found to be groundless.
The letter to Senator Martin was
the subject of heated discussion. Sen
ator Chamberlain of Oregon, who in
treduced the resolution of inquiry,
called before the senate expenditures
committee considering it, declared
there was no intention of investigating
the conduct of the war" and that the
resolution was worded as it was only
to give the military committee, of
which he is chairman, authority to re-
sumo its previous investigations. The
senator also issued statement in
which he explained that no charges
had been made against Major General
Squier or Rear Admiral Taylor the
army and navy members of the air
craft board.
The expenditures committee. by a |
vote of three to two, amended the res
Dlution by striking out reference TO |
the conduct of the war, and adding |
proviso specifically limiting the scope
IF the committees activities. If the
senate refuses to adopt the resolution
IS amended, Senator Chamberlain in
Heated he would drop the inyestiga-
ion planned.
