Be Called Last,
Baker Announces

WASHINGTON. Aug. =. Despite
his opposition to the Mckenzie amend
snent to the man power bill. providing
that eighteen-year- draftees be
called last. Secretary Of War Baker to-
day declared that youths from eighteen
to nineteen will be called last in the
draft. Explaining that the grouping of
men from nineteen to twenty one and
from thirty-one to thirty-six was pro-
posed for the purpose Of getting an
"early process of classification for
substantial number of persons Secre-
tary Baker said it did not mean that
men OF these ages were to be called
before the other ages would be reached.
There is no idea of deferment of
preferment in that process" he said.
"but it is merely selecting certain
groups who can be rapidly classified
The intention of the department is 10
defer as far as practicable the men
from eighteen to nineteen, with q view
to putting off their call for active mil
itary service as far as possible in def
erence to the needs of the military
programme"
Secretary Baker said that the depart
ment would endeavor to make all drafts
out of Class l registrants from ages
nineteen to forty-five before taking
men from eighteen to nineteen, but he
cautioned that in some Jurisdictions
this rule may not apply. because the
Class l men in these ages may be ex-
hausted and boys of eighteen to nine
teen would have to be called

Neu German Treaty
With Russia Urged
BY Berlin Writer
Bv The Associated Pross)

COPENHAGEN. Aug. 27.-Revision
of the BrestLitovsk peace treaty
which shall secure for Germany an al
lance with Russia and the Asiatic
bloc attached to Russia is advocated
by Georg Bernhard, political writer in
the "Vossische Zeitung," of Berlin.
After declaring that all the German
Great Britain, the writer says:
Their acceptance can be counted on
only if Eng!and's position on the po-
lltical chessboard is rendered such
that there is no course for her but that
OF acceptance. The vital idea of the
new German policy must hence be di-
rectcd toward the creation of a group
Of powers which will have a word to
say concerning English efforts either
TO carry on tho war or at the peace con-
ference, or, at least, in the matter of
man longer denies that the Brcst-
Litovsk peace treaty is the chief OBJ
stacle to the formation Of such q
group"
Bernhard admits that the treaty can
not be arnulled, but he lays stress on
the view recently outlined by Dr. Solf,
the German Minister for Colonies, that
the treaty is only a frame, to be filled
out in the future, and adds
tine originally planned community
of interests OF the border. states with
Germany is of subsidiary importance
compared with the absolutely ncccs-
sary relationship between Germany and
Russia and the Asiatic bloc attached d
to Russia. Instead of Great
ing new kingdoms at this critical time,
we should concern ourselves with the
laying Of the foundation for a Euro
pean alliance Of nations, without which
the league of nations of the entire
world, which has been advocated by
many, would be nothing but decep-
tive label for Anglo-Saxo world dom
nation"
Bernhard says the original idea Of
the Brcst-Litovsk treaty was that CON
ccssions could be made in exchange for
concessions from England, but that as
1t is now clear there is no outlook for
peace by agreement, these concessions
should be made TO Russia

Berlin Press Says,
WeMustNowStand
Or Fall, Fighting
Necessity for Holding Out
Tragic and Inescapable,
Writes Theodore Wolff

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 27.-Thc reply
of Lord Robert Cecil, British Under
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, made on
August % to the address before the
German Society two days earlier by
Dr. w. S. Solf, the German Colonial
Secretary. and the speech Of Senator
lodge, of Massachusetts, Republican
leader of the Senate, continue to be
commented upon by the Berlin press
along the same lines-that Germany
must now stand or fall fighting.
Theodore Wolff, writing in the Ber
I'm "Tageblatt," after referring to Lord
Robert Cecil's declaration that he him
self is an advocate of peace, saws:
we are confronted with the TRAGIC
unacceptable necessity of holding out
with quiet determination until Lord
Robert Cecil's love of peace shall dis
play itself more peacefully"
Denies Solf's Sentiments Are New
DR.. Wolff declares it is untrue that
Dr. Solf's speech was of sort never
heard before the fortunes of war
changed, but he adds:
at is correct that only recently the
great advocates Of force We're able to
make much noise, and evun the Pro
gresslve party was carried away by the
fiery eloquence Of Herr Muller. Of
Melnlngen, who made few false steps
into the camp of the annexationists."
The "Vossische Zeitung,' of Berlin.
asks: where is that peaceful spirit
of President Wilson. who once declared
there must be neither conquerors nor
conquered" ?" The "Vossischc Zeitunc"
declares it always knew that England's
war aim was the political and economic
subjection of Germany. The news
paper adds:
Blow to Peace by Understanding
"And if now, after the sacrifices in
men and money made by England and
the United States, the outcome Of the
war is to be profitable for them, it
means that peace must bring not only
the complete powerlessness of the Ger
of all Europe as the proper reward for
the Anglo Saxon nations"
Count Reventlow, writing in the
Tageszeitung, sees in the reception
of DR.. Solf's speech by the Entente
countries justification of the Pan
German views, and he says it is a
heavy blow for the German advocates
of peace by understanding"
ut is possible that this reception
Of Dr. Solf's speech will form a whole
some lesson for German chershers of
illnsions,' he adds.
The "Norddeutsche Allgemeine lei
tung' says Lord Robert 'Cccils speech
should "disillusion those Germans who
dld not realize that words and phrases
about high ideals resulted only in max
ing the enemy doubt the strength and
