WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-,America
is destined to take an ever growing
Leadership in war affairs. This was
the Interpretation placed here today
in many quarters on the announce.
ment OF Lloyd George that the Yer
sailles supreme war council plan had
been formulated mainly under the
stimulus OF letter from America.
The position OF the United States
as storehouse and treasury for the
allies, as we'll as the reservoir Of re.
serve manpower gives, her con.
stantly growing direction OF the war.
While the Versailles plan is for unity
OF action, the American stamp on
affairs is likely to he more FREEDOM
inant In the future, especially after
We have placed large army in the
field.
The plan announced by Lloyd
George is regarded as accomplishing
unity Of military control which
had been lacking up to now.
Already President Wilson has as.
suIned diplomatic leadership. His
country have been closely followed
thlsi sCu ny ILL lie
European leaders.
The discrepancy between his In
depreciation of the last speech by
Count Czernin and the reception &C.
corded CzeTnin's speech by Lloyd.
George is regarded by officials and
diplomats of both countries as valu-
able rather than otherwise now.
Britain as whole has endorsed
the Wilson view. Labor, both in
England and America, has approved
1t. And the difference of opinion be-
tween Wilson and Lloyd George is
expected to result in one or the 9TH
er or both of the statesmen speaking
again to make more clear his war
detectives before the world.
AS one diplomat put it today. Am
erica has become the hub of the Dip
lomatic univeTse-and to her the
powers must more and more
look for guidance as well as material
assistance in the war

DRAFT MACHINERY
WILL Be CHANGED
There win Be Alteration IN Method
Of Appointments Of New
Increments for.
Camp Dodge.
aoTHER MATTERS PEND
cusetIon of Putting Men Who Reached
Majority Since June 5 Must Be
Decided, Too, Before Second
Call Comes.

Local men subject to seiecuve
service, who do not go with the last
Increment of ths first draft Satur-
day to Camp Dodge, are being greet
ed these days with the question,
when do you go?" In fact, the CON
scripts are more apt to hear that
greeting than they are to get a good
morning" and It is beginning to
wear on the nerves. They do not
know, no one knows exactly.
In the first place, the machinery
will be slightly changed. The quota
for the first draft was made up ac-
oording to population and credit was
given for the number Of entstments
in the army. The new way will be
to base the quota on the number Of
GLASS one men in proportion TO the
population. No definite word from
the war department. on this has been
received, but II is generally under
stood to be the way that is being
worked out at Washington.
It is inttmAted that early spring
will see the movement from the can
comments of the troops sent there for
training last fall. This being the
case. 1t will be early summer before
the second draft is called. That Is
the view that those who are in a DO
eition TO know, are taking, and 1t is
presumed that May or June win see
the first call for the second draft
made. A certain number will be sent
each week then until the quota L.
filled or the environments are run
ming at capacity. The mon sent will
nil be fnom class one.
still Classifying.
The board has not yet finished
with the classification of class one
men, and OF course, has not been
able to report the number to secure
the new quota. Another factor which
WIN be considered before the second
draft and which must take the form
of legislation, will be the calling to
service of men who have become
fwenty-one since June 8, last year.
It is expected that this and other
legislation will be dealt with before
the second call OF men is made.
The fact that the men in the can
tonm ents now expect to move out in
May or June, makes 1t look as IL the
second draft would not come until
then. Lee county will have FAB men
in the Eighty-Ighth division when
the ITO men are sent Saturday. There
has been sent from Lee county to
camp a total of 255 men. These
twelve additional took the place OF
the men sent up In some OF the frs.
1ncrements. but who ware discharged
or disqualified after arriving at camp.

Man with penchant for Figures Finds
Way to Conserve Sugar at
Small Sacrifice

MIGHT SAVE BREAD TOO
Two Slices Less From Each Lost
Would Mean Big Aggregate Gain,
So He Has Figured
Out

/ The man who has a penchant for
covering whole sheets of paper with
/ figures, In order to arrive at q fairly
accurate conclusion regarding stu
pendous problem. has plenty OF oppor-
I tunity to practice his hobby these days.
Before the war he was obliged TO

consideration, or how many pairs OF
rubber bots the material worn from
automobile tires each day would build.
Since the outbreak of the war he can
arrive at some startling conclusions.
| by estimating the amount OF foodstufs
saved IL every person in the United
States would save even the most In
significant amounts each day.
One Spoonful Less Daily.
For instance, there are about 100,-
0Oo, 600 people in the Uuited States.
How much sugar would be saved II
every one of these would eat one
less spoonful each day for 365 days.
A teaspoonful of sugar weighs one
sixth of an ounce. Yet ii every per.
son In the country would eat one tea
spoonful less each day, the daily saw
ing would be 521 tons, or enough to
equal the amount of sugar now con-
suned by the entire French nation.
II would mean the difference between
priyation and comfort 50 far as
sugar is concerned for the French
people This is for only one day,
mind you. Figure out how much the
saving would be in month, or in a
year.
A slice Of bread weighs about one
ounce If each Of the 100000
people in this country had one slice
each per day. how many tons of wheat
would be available for shipment
across the scar
Two Slices Of Bread Less.
A good sized slice of bread con-
tains about three-fourths of an ounce
of flour. If every citizen of the United
States would eat two slices less of
wheat bread every day, substituting
corn bread in its place, It would
mean a daily saving of 1887 tons of
flour. And yet some people wonder
why we are having wheatless days.
Here's another. If every person in
the United States would eat one-half

would mean a daily saving Of 1885,
600 pounds. 1t would take 49,
625 hogs, weighing $50 pounds each,
to make this amount of meat, or
equal to 2OS carloads of hogs.
Most of US could make these saw
ings without any sacrifice whatever.
No one has yet been able to figure
Just how much wheat, bread or sugar
