DRAFT FOR
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES! !!
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated PreSS)
Washington, Feb. 2O.-Deferred
draft classification for railroad en-
ployees is under consideration be-
tween department and railroad adj
mihistration, it became known to-
day. 6s,. &.
The war department objects to
giving special consideration to rail-
way employees as a class, insisting
that the case Of each man should be
considered individually as to wheth-
er he is Indispensable. 5fs
This policy does not satisfy the
railroad administration which con-
tends that few railroad men are act
ually indispensable, and that unless
some uniform action is prescribed,
local exemption boards may be in
clined to refuse deferred classifica-
tion Of thousands Of necessary em-J
ployees who have no dependents.
Nearly 100000 railroad men are
withinethe draft age. but the actual
number which would be affected by
such q ruling Is estimated ct less
than 200 200.

is a member of the party of Ameri-
can Railroad Engineers, now at Ma
gasaka, Japan, has written a letter
to his brother, Frank L. Andrews of

formation was at hand as to when
the corps would return to Russia, it
is now expected they will do so, and
probably within thirty days. He
stated that Japanese and English
cruisers are now at Vladivostock,
and the United States ship Brooklyn
left Manila some time ago en- route
with about 300 additional marines,
and field guns and machine guns.
The corps are studying the Rus

are quartered at the hotels and have
everything satisfactory for their
needs and comfort except that smok-
ing tobacco is scarce.

ACCEPTS
AMERICAN PLAN
TO UNITY EFFORTS
Lloyd George States Supreme
War Council Was Demand
to Conserve Allies Strength
Praises u. S. Plan.

London, Feb. 19.-The British
prime minister, in a statement be-
fore the house of commons today on
the decision of the supreme war
council at Versailles, paid high trib-
ute to the plan submitted by the
American representatives.
IF l should read the document
submitted by the Americans" said
Lloyd George, there would be no
need to make this speech. The
case is presented with irresistible
power and logic"
Central Body Necessary.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Frank ad-
mission by Premier Lloyd George to-
day that the convincing demand for
unified military effort under a single
directing body had come from the
United States, confirmed the impress
sion that has prevailed here since
the proposal to send the mission
headed by Colonel House to Europe
first became known. 1t was known
unofficially at that time, that Presi-
dent Wilson had become convinced
that the allied cause stood in grave
danger unless a central body could
be erected with authority to initiate
vigorous warfare based on we'll di-
gested plan of strategy that covered
all fronts.
The president was determined that
the United States should not waste
it's strength in the war, but should,
with the co-belligerents, wage an Of
fensive battle of the most vigorous
characer. His military and naval
advisers had strongly urged upon
him the advisability of seeking to
unite all the forces opposed TO Ger
many into a single unit Gf-mif1tary
power, striking every blow for its
relations to grand scheme of cam
paign and wasting no strength in
minor engagements or disrelated Of
fensives on the several fronts.
Hints at Big Events.
The premier's statement did not
throw any light on the plan of action
agreed upon at Versailles. His words
apparently were carefully weighed to
prevent any inkling of the plan from
being ..rawn from them. The. prompt
ness of his challenge to his critics
however, and the unreserved nature
of that challenge, was interpreted as
a hint at great events soon to come.
Taken in connection with Presi-
dent Wilson's recent statement that
1918 would be the decisive year and
the repeated warnings from the west
ern front that great German Of
fensive is imminent there, today's
proceedings in London are regarded
as highly significant.
May Take Offensive.
1t has been asserted officially and
unofficially that the allies still have
preponderance of men and guns on
the western front, and the belief
here is that the allied council would
not be content to await the blow OF
the enemy

GERMAN-AUSTRlAN
PEOPLES OPPOSE
new RUSS WAR
Had Celebrated Peace With
Russia = Austria Alarmed
Over Prospect.
(By the Associated Press)

London, Feb. 2O.-Germany's new
war against Russia apparently is not
popular with the German or Austrian
people, according to comment in the
press of the two countries.
When the Brest Litovsk negotia.
tions closed all talk in Germany was
of peace. The school children were
given a holiday and bells were rung.
The public apparently did not dis
criminate between peace with the
Ukraine and with Great Russia, but
acclaimed it as the general peace
with Russia.
The Vossische Zeitung emphasizes
this point and wants an explanation
of who was responsible for this dis
appointment. The Socialist Voer-
waerts says:
'.The more we meddle in Russian
affairs we more get away from peace.
What must be done is to stick to the
defense of our own soil and to make
peace whenever possible without an
or forcible amputations.
A large section of opinion in Aus
tria-Hungary also is alarmed over
the prospect of renewal of war with
Russia.
Dispatches from Amsterdam and
Zurich quote stria-Hungarian
to this effect and a Vien-
ma dispatch to the Vossische Zeitung
reports a rising of feeling against
Germany on account .of her action
against Russia.

NO DATE SET
FOR NEXT DRAFT
SAYSSEC'Y BAKER
Second Draft May Not Be
Called Until June l-One
Hundred Thousand Per
Month Will Answer.
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 0.-Secretary
Baker authorized the statement to-
day that no date has been selected
for the beginning of the second draft.
Various estimates have placed the
time between March 1 and June /.
These are declared to be entirely
guesses.
The governments disposition not
to disturb the labor situation, partic-
ularly on farms at the planting sea-
son, is one of the factors entering in
to the situation.
The provost marshal geenral's Of
fee, it is understood, is disinclined
to go ahead with the second draft
until congress has perfected the law
by pending amendments to change
the basis of apportionment and to
authorize the president to call into
the military service men skilled in
industry and agriculture regardless
of previous classification.
The remaining increments of the
first draft will begin to move forward
to the camps beginning this week.
It is probable that next month To-
cal boards may be asked to forward
small increments necessary to re-
place men going overseas, but the
expected summons of half a million
men will be later.
Plans for the second draft as now
under consideration, include calling
100000 a month until the second
quota is complete. In that way off,
cials expect to avoid much confusion
which accompanied the first call.
The men will report in a steady
stream and be assimilated into the
military machine before the next lot
is received.
It has been definitely settled that
the first contingent will be used to
fill vacancies in national guard di-
visions caused by the withdrawal of
men for the organization of special
and temporary units. Similar va
cancies in national army divisions
will have been filled by that time
from the final increment of the first
call.

plane, in which Ensign Albert Dali
ton Sturtevant (U. s. r. N. F.) was
lost, is claimed by the Germans to
have shot down in flames. Ensign
Sturtevant was second pilot in the
machine. Apparently this machine
was attacked by ten enemy airplanes

ARMIES ARE READY
FOR FINAL BATTLE
ON WESTERN FRONT
Germans Are Confronted by
Trained Soldiers and Great
Tactical Obstacles on Lines
in France and Flanders.
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 2O.-After ex-
tensive preparations silently and sys-
tematically carried on, it is apparent
that both the Germans and Allies
are ready for the expected offensive
in the west, Secretary Baker says in
his review of military operations for
the week ending February 16.
while there have been outward
ly no new developments in the mill
tary situation in the west during the
period under review" says the COM
munique, ''yet it is apparent that
both the enemy and the Allies, af-
ter extensive preparations, which
have been silently but systematically
carried on-are ready for battle. The
Germans have recently withdrawn
their veteran west front units from
the first line trenches and are busy
training them in mobile warfare.
According to advices received, the
German general staff hopes that by
massing large number of these
picked shock. battalions which have
been intensely trained, they may de-
liver a crushing blow.
''The bulk of the German forces
are now assembled in the west, but
large numbers of these units are
wholly unframed in the method. Of
western. front warfare which differs
radically from that conducted along
other fronts. Furthermore, the Ger
man higher command realizes fully
that their forces will meet with far
more difficult tactical obstacles than
any hitherto encountered by an at
tacking army. A break through was
possible in Russia only after the
morale of the Russians had been un-
dermined; the same was true in Italy
and we witnessed how speedily the
Italian line was mended.
During the week there has s<been
much activity of minor character
along the western 'front.'
