Camp Dodge, Jan. BRIG: Gen. r

Eighty eighth division of the national
army at Camp Dodge, has received no
Official word to the effect that no more
men selected for military service will
be called to the colOrs until February

Announcement of the receipt Of a
message by the adjutant general Of
the state from the provost marshal
general to the effect that the two final
increments which were scheduled to
report at Camp Dodge last October
and complete the divisions full quota
was taken with considerable dissatis-
faction by some officers at camp.
Officers Views Differ.
It is believed by them that the with
holding of the men will greatly retard
the actual training preparations and
delay the date Of leaving for France
of the division as military unit.
Others are inclined to believe that
because of the Indictment weather con-
ditions which probably will prevail
from now until March 1, it would be
impracticable to have the men report.
But little training out Of doors, it is
pointed out could be given and the
probability Of an epidemic Of conta-
gious diseases with the men confined
the greater portion of the time inside,
sufficient to warrant the deferring of
the call.
Could Train Indoors.
Men now in training have received

Some officers are inclined to believe
that much could be done in the way OF
and preliminary training
if the recruits were ordered to report
at once.

The Petrograd correspondent Of the

speech, says that the Russians de-
manded that all socialists imprisoned
in Germany be released Immediately.
Count Won Mirbach. head Of the Ger

replied that was a political question
and that the delegation was only en-
powered to deal with technical pat-
tiers. The correspondent reports that
the Russians insisted however that
Count Won Mirbach agreed to transmit
the demand to the German govern

The German delegation the cores

FOOD BY MOTOR ROUTES

Five motor express routes which will
carry food into Washington from Vir-
yinia are to be established within sixty
days, according to Roy D. Chaplin, chair
man Of the highway transport COM
mittee, Council of National Defense
They are to be operated by private
capital, through regions determined
tentatively by the highway transport
committee The routes outlined radate
from Washington into Loudoun, Fair
fax and Prince William counties.
During this week applicants who de-
sire to operate these lines are to con-
fer with the highway transport COM
mittee.
Announcement also was made last
evening that the Council of National
Defense. after Mr.. Chapin's commit
tees investigation, has urged upon
state councils of defense the promo.
ton of rural motor express lines to
connect farms with cities.
Washington was chosen as the point
for first direct effort in urging private
capital to undertake the establishment
Of such lines, 1t was explained, be-
cause tho growing population of the
capital makes the food problem. espe-
cially that of perishables and products
grown nearby. a critical one.
Already there are a number Of lines
operating successfully in Maryland,
especially those leading into Mont
gomery county and points beyond.
There also are a number of lines lead

LOAN OF 1898 IN CAPITAL

THE world do move"

1.-The world do move"
See how they raise money now for
the liberty loans-tanks, motor trucks,
shrapnel she'll booths. pretty girls,
snappy slogans, prominent speakers,
eloquent speakers and just plain speak,
ers. All to push home the axiom that
in purchasing a bond the citizen helps
the world, helps his country and, in
cidentally. helps himself. His invest
ment is as safe, as anything can be in
this vale of tears and the purchaser
gets back in reasonable interest more
than he loaned Uncle Sam. There is
no element of chance about It!
Now take a slant at how they raised
money in 1898 in this town. OF course,
1t wasn't for anything as broad and
patriotic as liberty loana but II a
liberty loan had been boosted then the
lottery idea probably would have en-
tered into the affair." for 1t was then
