TAFT URGES LARGER DRAFT
WANTS 5 MILLION MEN,

Washington, March 16.-Amend-
ment to the Draft Law to authorize
the President to increase the army to
5 million men or more, was advocated
by former President Taft in a speech
here today before the National Geo
graphic Society.
I'VE must make ample provision
to strengthen our allies" the former
President said. I'VE can raise as
fine an army and as large an army
as there is on European soil and if
we can transport it as rapidly as we
may we can have it all in Europe
within two or three years. Our OBJ
ject then will be attained and the
world will again be free

best road meetings held in Kansas

filled, at a 10 o'clock meeting. After
dinner the court room was again

men from all parts OF the county be-
ing present. 1t was decided by unan-
imous vote to get behind road
building program of so miles OF
gravel, concrete, or brick road and
the hard road committee will get
busy at once and start the petitions.
The improved roads will include the
Golden Belt across the county, and

TAKEN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT

With the American Army in
France, March 16.-American troops
now occupy their first German
trenches. They consist of two kilo-
meters (1,242 miles, of front line
positions in the Badonviller region on
the Luneville front.
The positions we're occupied in
broad daylight by the Americans,
after German evacuation. The Ger
man barrage later forced with
drawal, but the Sammies returned
and now firmly hold the positions.
Hhe positions have been conseli-
dated, automatic rifles have been
mounted, and they are fully defend
ed. The trenches were SO smashed
by Yankee artillery as to be unten-
able for the boches, but the salient
forms an excellent addition to our
lines. The Americans found the
trenches supported by strong timbers.
The broken one have been replaced.

NEW SUBMARINE BOATS
TRIED AND ACCEPTED.

Washington, March 14.-Amer-
ica's first fighting seaplane, equipped
with Liberty motors, has been tried
out and accepted, it was learned to-
day and a number of the craft are
new being delivered for use of the
naval air service. They are the adj
vance guard of big feet which will
be added to the forces engaged in
submarine hunting in the war zone.
A second type of fighting plane for
the American army, known as the
Bristol model, also has now reached
the production stage and consider
able number will become available
during the present month. Still
another type, two-seated machine,
also is being manufactured.
Officials in close touch with prog
ress being made on production of
planes in this country are
still satisfied that the output will tax
shipping facilities before July, when
delivery in quantities in France has
been scheduled. Already a problem
of caring for the planes on the other
side is one to which General PERISH
ing's staff is one giving serious
thought.

ODESSA TO
THE GERMANS
Greatest Russian Port on the Black
Sea.
is A BIG AGRICULTURAL AREA
With Possession OF Odessa, Germans
VIII Have Access to Vast
Stores OF Wheat and
Other Grains.

Berlin, Via London, March IA
German troops have entered Odessa.
This official announcement was made
today
Odessa is the greatest Russian port
on the Black Sea and the center OF a
great agricultural area, the products
of which we're coveted by the Ger
mans to feed the hungry people OF
the Central empires. With the pos
session of Odessa the Germans win
have access to vast stores of wheat,
which can be transported overland or
by sea to points where it can be
readily shipped either to Austria or
Germany.
The capture of Odessa also means
much from military standpoint, as
1t provides a connecting link in a
new route to Persia and Afghanistan.
India, too, is a possibility. Whether
an advance over this route is con-
templated has not been intimated, al
though the boast was recently made
the Central Powers would soon have
a route to Persia to take the place
of the famous -Bagdad route
severed by the British.
The German advance through Mo-
davia and Bessarabia was practically
upopposed. The invading force was
composed of both Austrian and Ger
man troops. Austria, through Count
Czernin, had previously announced
she would not join her ally in any
invasion of Russian territory.

Washington, March IA gener-

by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to railroads east of the Mississ-

mac rivers, supplementing similar
increase allowed last June in class

ticles shipped in large quantities,
such as coal, brick, grain, foodstuffs,
oil, stone, cement, lumber and other
staple products shipped under the
Commodity" classification. The new

within a few weeks.

IN DANGEROUS SPOTS

London, March 15.-German pris-

over areas which the enemy's air
craft are subjecting to attack in their
raids, according to the Evening News

eminent considers likely to be at
