Two Great Men Meet
MAT President Wilson has
not the undivided support of


his countrymcn in his views
regarding freedom of the seas and
the formation of league of ma
tions, is evidenced by the opposi.
tion expressed today by Senator
Philandcr e.. Knox, of Pcnnsvlvan-
ia, formerly secretary Of state.
Senator Knox is conservative
statesman. lie cannot be accused
of nagging the president. In fact,
he urges only the postponemcnt OF
the question until eftor tie peace
conference has ended.
As Mr.. Knox points out, a sim
pie declaration by America that il
regards any menace To the liberty
of Europe as menace to itself
would act as a deterrent upon any
foreign nation with aggrcssivcly
impcrialistic aims. The actual and
potential power of the United
States is already sufficiently grea,
TO command respect.
Regarding the freedom of the
seas, Mr.. Knox declares that this
Is also n question for the allies to
decide among themselves. lie is
opposed to the introduction of any
question that may SOW discord
hmong the allies.
Let us deal first with Germany.
Let us settle the amount If the bill
that she has 20 pay, and the rest of
the atoncmcnt that she must make
for destroying the peace If the
world.

SECRETARY BAKER TO VISIT CAMP LOGAN
ACCoRDlNG TO RUMOR- GENERAL BELLIS
SATISFIED WITH RESULTS OF HALF YEAR

because of the lack of certain equip
ment, which he deems indispensable
to make a review worth while. I'VE
could parade an artillery regiment or
machine. gun battalion through the
streets of Houston. but II they. did not
have any equipment, 1t wouldn't mean
anything" said General Bell.
General Bell is anxious for a re-
view of the division, however, whether
Secretary Baker comes or not. and as
soon as the division is In shape he will
very likely have one, and the people0f
HouseOn will again have the opportun-
Hy to see the fighting forces of Illinois
marching through the streets OF the
city as one body:
The most rigid steps are to be taken
to prevent the carrying of epidemic
diseases to France with the American
troops. In this connection an order
has been issued at the suggestion of
| General Pershing, commander of the
American expeditionary forces, for a
final physical examination of all
| troops prior to their departure for
| overseas service. for the purpose of
preventing the embarkatioa of men
having such diseases.
| Complying with an order received
from the secretary of war, General
Bell caused to be issued the following
for the information of the men of the
division:
| Whenever command or detach-
ment is ordered from onet station,
camp or cantonment to another, or to
port of embarkation for transportation
overseas, careful physical examination
will be made of every man before his
departure from his station for the pur-
pose Of discovering and eliminating
cases of communicable disease. This
examination will be made by medical
officers, the men being stripped to the
waist, and extreme care will be taken
TO detect communicable disease in
their earliest states. No man having,
or suspected of having. communi-
cable disease will be sent away from
his station period. Scarlet fever.
cerebro-spinal meningitis and measles
contacts will be held in quarantine
and not permitted to leave with their
command. Mccain"
(b) Extract from General Pershing' s
cablegram No. 5S8, Feb. 10.191S: Para
graph l A. With reference to para
graph 2. my cablegram 405, cases of
epidemic diseases continue to arrive
with troops. 1t is urged that the rec
concentrations formerly made be car
ried out by closer inspection and more
rigid sanitary regulations on board
ships enroute and that every possible
means be taken to prevent the embar.
kation of such cases. Pershing."
Owing to a change in the tables Of
organization. worked out by the wal
department, 1t has been necessary tt
give two OF the machine gun com
panies new numbers and assign then
to different organizations than those
to which they are now attached. The
companies affected are Companies {
and D or the 122d battalion.
BY an order issued by General Bel
the former is designated as Company I
OF the 124th and the latter as Com
pany D Of the 123d. The necessar,
transfer of the property will be mad
, at once and the commanders Of thes'
companies will report to the com
manders of the battalions to which
thew have been assigned.

the course Of six weeks, approximately
twenty-thousand men had arrived and
then General Bell was ordered te
France on his tour Of observation and
remained away from the division until
the early part Of December.
Following his return, the draft men
from Illinois began to pour in upon
him, and these presented perplexine
