A HEART TO HEART TALK.

The devil called on the kaiser one
day and asked him in a very smart
way who on earth he thought he
was, trying to kick up all this fuss.
The kaiser trembled and looked aw-
fully scared when the devil explained
to him how he had Jared, and how
he had started a hell Of his own.
This made the kaiser look pale and
make a loud groan. The kaiser ask
ed him what he should do and the
devil answered, "I1l fix 1t for you;
I'll keep the fires burning till you
come down. then I'll reform and let
you be clown. Although I have fears
that you'll make a big blunder, and
IL | have to come back I'll sure give
you thunder" H. L. A.

BAKER ANSWERS
CRITICS IN
SENATE
DOESN'T DISCLOSE NUMBERS BUT
MORE TROOPS ARE ABROAD
THAN WAS PLANNED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-The cross
examination OF Secretary Baker on his
recent statement was begun at a public
hearing before the senate military af-
fairs committee today in regard to the
number Of troops to be sent abroad
this year
Secretary Baker said on January LIST
more troops had been sent abroad than
had been planned. Baker and Senator
Weeks agreed that il would be impro-
per to, discuss the number now in
France.
Secretary Baker he hadn't determin-
ed whether the troops will be kept in
southern camps next summer. If the
weather is as extreme as this winter
has been some will have to be moved,
he said
The secretary declared American
tonnage losses had been extremely
light.
The service the navy has rendered
in the protection of the army has been
uneXampled." In his former statement
a million more men probably could be
sent to France this year. Secretary
Baker explained that he did not de-
pend wholly on American shipping in
his calculations.
Senator Hitchcock said on Novem-
Der Goth the shipping board advised
him that. the total gross available
American tonnage was $4,000, tons, in
Guiding the tankers and former Ger
man and Austrian ships
Secretary said he could not esti-
mate how many troops that tonnage
would supply.
Senator Beckham protested
against efforts to drag from the sec
rotary indirectly by probing questions
information that would be OF value to
the enemy. Senator Hitchcock said
he didn't want to be misunderstood but
only desired to find the basis OF Ba-
kcr's assurance to the country that a
million men could be transported to
France this year.
Secretary Baker proposed to be per-
mitted to prepare statements showing
the exact facts and details as prepared
by experts and present them to the
committee and return for cross eXami-
nation later.
Senator Weeks asked if it were true
that the war department had seven
hundred and ninety-one thousand tons
of shipping available for transporting
troops February list
Secretary Baker said he thought that
an underestimate The shipping
board and war department are in con-
slant contact. he said, eXhaustively
studying the shipping situation about
a hundred and thirty thousand tons adj
ditional have recently been secured.
A hitch developed as to whether it
would be proper for Baker to answer
certain questions concerning the NOV
Ing Of troops.
Secretary Baker gave the opinion
that new legislation would be describ
able to give the President general
powers to transfer and coordinate func
tions of the various departments as
conditions may arise.
The question. of ships to transport
troops to France will be presented ID
the committee in secret session tomor-
row
1t is indicated that the President
and the secretary are taking steps
which they hope will satisfy those who
are pressing the bill for director Of
munitions
