Washington. February 20.-Secre-
tary Baker authorized the statement
to-day that no date had been selected
for the beginning of the second draft.
Various estimates have placed the
time between March l and June l.
These are declared to be entirely
guesses.

to disturb the labor situation. par

season, is one of the factors enter
ing into the situation. Hi

fee. it is understood. is disinclined
to go ahead with the second draft
until Congress has perfected the law
by pending amendments ID 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 ihcrements of the
first draft will begin to move for
ward to the camps beginning this
week.
1t is probable that next month To-
cal boards NAV be asked to forward
small increments necessary to re-
place men going overseas, but the
expected summons of half a million
will be later.
100000 Men Monthly
Plans for the second draft as now
under consideration include calling
1OO, 900 a month until the second
quota is complete. In that way of
fcials expect to avoid much of the
confusion which accompanied the
first call. The men will report in a
steady stream and be assimilated in.

SLAvS QUIT war
Brest.LitO,sk Adyices Say State Of
War Declared Ended and Russian
Forces on Every Front Are
Ordered Recalled.

Amsterdam, February 11-Russia
has declared herself out of the war
Without formally signing 4 peace
treaty she has, through her repre-
sentatives at Brest-Litovsk, declared
the state of war with the Central Pow
ers at an end and ordered her troops
on all fronts demoblized.
This news, coming through Berlin
today, follows quickly the announce
ment of the signing of a peace with
the Ukraine. With Rumania isolated
and helpless. the ngar on the entire
eastern front may now be said to be
at an end.
Peace negotiations between the Cen
tral Powers and the Bolsheviki Gov
ernment, which seized power in Pc
trograd in November, were opened on
December %, last, after the way had
been paved by the signing of an ar
mistice on December 4. Many times
reported broken off, the negotiations
have been in progress, with brief in
tervals, ever since, eliminating in the
announcement today.
1t has become recognized that some
such situation as that now reached was
probably inevitable, as Russia,
through interior disorganization had
virtually put it out of her power to
continue fighting. The Bolsheviki,
moreover, have held up to their peo-
pie the idea that the peoples of the
Central Powers would not permit fur
ther attacks by their armies upon the
Russian proletariat and that these
Powers, and, in fact, the entire world,
would soon be in the throes of revo-
luton similar to that of the prole-
tariat in Russia, in which the estab-
lished order would be overthrown and
what they call democratic peoples
Governments set up.

"WORKERS WITH GOD"

The Crawford meetings at the Pres
byterian Church last night opened
well. The pastor-evangelist is a
strong preacher, with hearty, direct
manner and q vein of tenderness, and
a fund of illustration from his own
experience which held and impressed
his audience greatly.
He outlined Paul's idea Of the Chris
tian as a co-partner with God in work
and drew the evident lesson that Gods
necessary part in conversion will be
done II we are faithful.
As his stay with the church is short
It is hoped that the community will
turn out early to hear him.

Ryan Elected New
Policeman.

A called meeting of City Council
was held last night for the purpose Of
the discussion Of stock sales In this
city and elect q new policeman to
succeed A. G. Stewart, resigned.
Mayor Russell was in the chair and
all members were present. In the alb
sence Of City Clerk Adair, Chief Of

concentrations, which were present
ed for the consideration Of the Coun-

Communications were that stock sales
In the future be held on the lot be-
longing to Everett G Llyod, in the
rear Of the Buick Garage on East Sec
ond street. This lot can be rented
for $500 year. 1t was suggested that
City Council give 5000 for the build
ing of pens on the lot and that $25
per month be given to pay the rent on
same for the next year, after which it
would probably be self-supporting.
County Judge Harry p Purnell,
Secretary Carl Dodds Of the Chamber
of Commerce and County Commission
ers A. L. Glascock were granted the
privilege Of the floor and gave their
views of the proposition.
After some little discussion 1t was
ordered that the matter be referred
back to the committee to see if the
Hunter lot, fronting on East Second
street from Government to Lee streets,
could be rented to put some sheds to
house the city's machinery, in which
case the city lot would be used for the
stock sales. The committee was or
dered to report back at an adjourned
meeting.
The resignation of officer A. G.
Stewart was read and accepted and
Patrick Ryan was elected to fill the
vacancy, he having no opposition.
