London, Jan. General Maude, the
conuueror of Bagdad, who died recent
ly of cholera in an army hospital In
Mesopotamia, lies buried in the cen
ter of the British cemetery north OF
Bagdad, adjoining the old Turkish cav
airy barracks. A wooden cross marks
his grave, and a heap Of wreaths,
chrysanthemums and marigolds were
strewn over the grassless mould VI
the desert. Among these, floral trib-
utes were ribbons and artificial flow

The British Eyewitness with the
armies in Mesopotamia, in an account
of memorial service held in the cit
adel at Bagdad, writes Of General
Maude

of modesty, repose, confidence and

Washington, jar =. Tie scope or
the country's war preparations must
be broadened. This is the decision OF
the Congressional committees that
are dealing with military affairs and
the general staff also has the same
conclusion. The hearings before the
Senate committee on military affairs
have brought out, though only in
cidentally, the fact that most of the
army contracts that are now being
fulfilled were awarded on a one-year
basis and were designed to take care
Of an srmy Of not to exceed 100000
men.
Every well-informed person hero
now realizes that this view of the
war situation is much too limited. On
every hand the opinion Is now held
that unless the war is to drag on for
years the United States must without
further delay prepare on a scale far
beyond that by which the War De-
partment has thus far been guided.
It is the Judgment of the best author.
tiles today that the country at once
should begin to get ready to support
an army of not less than 100000
men for at least three years. Then
are experts who would prefer to Sea
tho plans provide for an army Of
100000 men.
Realization Just Coming
1t is dawning on Congress, as well
as on the men. who have large re-
sponsibilities in the executive de-
partments, that the war authorities
have permitted too limited q concep'
ton of the problem that is before the
country to govern their official acts
From many quarters is coming infor-
nation to the effect that the country
is at last beginning to realize the Sc
robustness of the situation and. as the
country awakens, the men who arr
charged with the responsibilities o.
the war preparations also awaken.
Everybody now realizes that
blunder was made by the department
chieftains in not planning and exc
cutting on a larger scale from thu
beginning. The State military AFFAIR."
committee undoubtedly will recon
mend in the report it eventually will
make on the general situation, tina

RED CROSS HAS
A DAY NURSERY

The ruins left in the wake of the
Avezzano earthquake of 1915 are be-
ing used by the American Red Cross
as material for the construction of a
day nursery in the town of Sora. Red
Cross officials feel that there is a vital
and immediate need for such a home
for babies in Sora and the masses of
tumbled wreckage left by the disaster
offers the only building material ready
for the purpose. At the time of the
earthquake, the two towns of Sora
and Avezzano were practically wiped
out But inasmuch as Avezzano is the
bigger and more important place, al
most all the help which was given to
the suffering by Italy and the rest of
the world at that time, went to the
larger town. leaving Sora to rest in
abject poverty amongst its ruins-a
poverty which has been tripled and
aggravated by war conditions, thus
making it a highly necessary field for
Red Cross operations. Nothing has
been rebuilt in Sora. The people have
been compelled to live in novels
amongst the fallen walls of their for
mer homes. There are numbers of
children amongst these destitute fami-
lies to whom the Red Cross desires to
give aid and care So the ruins will
grow again into homes.

TO BRING HOME
AMERICAN DEAD
Soldiers Who Lose Their Lives In The
War Abroad VIII Be Buried
There Temporarily

BY and by, the dead overseas will
be brought home for burial Ameri-
cans who lose their lives in the war
abroad will be buried there only tenn
porarily. Where identification is pos
sible the bodies will be placed in
marked graves to be taken up when
the war is over and brought home.
This plan of the War Department
was disclosed today by the publica-
ton of articles of agreement be-
tween the Army and Navy regarding
the transportation of sick and wound
ed from overseas. A section of the
agreement says:
The remains of all officers, enlist
ed men and civilian employees who
have died or will hereafter die in
France shall be buried in France until
the end of the war. when the remains
shall be brought back to the United
States for final interment.
such cemeterial facilities as the
Army may have acquired in France
shall be available to the Navy.
THE remains of all officers, enlist
ed men and civilian employees who die
on ships en- route to or from the
United States shall be embalmed and
returned to the United States on the
ship on which the death occurred"

PLOW FIRE GUARDS
TO PROTECT GRAIN

Fire guards of one or more burrows
should be plowed around all fields of
shocked or stacked grain. advises the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. to prevent CONGREGATIONS start
ing from the sparks of locomotives,
tractors. thrashing engines or from
the careless use of matches, pipes or
cigarettes The exigency of the situa-
ton demands that farmers who previ-
ously have opposed furrowed fire
guards now make practical applica-
ton Of this control. Farms also
should have available fire-fghting
equipment such as chemical exiting
uishers or barrels and buckets of
water, the department suggests.
Precautions should also be exer-
cised against ..hot boxes" and other
improperly adjusted machinery which
are possible sources of loss Where
possible every farm should be equip
ped with several chemical fire exiting
uishers, as these first aids in fire
fighting are extremely valuable pro-
lection for the grain in the stack or
bin, as well as for the farm buildings
and other produce or live stock in
storage or stable II such exiting
uishers are deemed inadvisable, at
least the farmer can have two or
three large barrels of water and sew
eral buckets handy for emergency
fire needs.

SALE OF CANDY
LIMITED TO POUND

The days of the giver of the eight
pound box of Huyler's," or the two
or four pound box, are past and gone,
at least during war times.
After today the manufacturing CON
fectioners will pack candies only in
boxes and containers holding one
pound, and the retail confectioner or
dealer in candy will limit his pur-
chase at any one time to that guam
tity.
AT a special meeting of the Associa-
ton OF Confectioners, presided over
by Harry II. Jones, held last evening,
in Baltimore, a resolution was unani-
mously adopted indorsing recent
resolution of the National Association
of Confectioners urging the public to
limit it's purchases of candy.
II is the purpose of the Confec-
toners Association. in this yolun-
tary move. to cooperate with the Fed
eral Food Administration thoroughly
i'm its efforts at sugar conservation,
AT present the sugar situation is such
that the United States Food Admins
tration has curtailed the allotment OF
sugar for domestic use TO two pounds
per person per month, and has like
wise curtailed the confectioners' al
lotment of sugar TO 80 per cent of the
quantity used during the correspond
ing period last year. and in this ac-
ton the Baltimore Confectioners' As
ISOLATION has decided the step taken
by them will aid the government il
conserving sugar.
